Chapter 4: Why the Lights?!?!?!
I made it up to the boss's level, and greeted by his receptionist, Mary, who was, surprise surprise, a zombie, she came after me no questions asked, I aimed, and fired….but nothing came out, I needed a new clip, as I fumbled around with a new clip she stopped inches from my face.
"Skin………….cream………"
"What???"
"Skin………cream……."
"O, that, um, he has it"
Pointing to another zombie, which she then ran towards, and decided to rip off his arms and roar at him. I finally reloaded, and by the time she came after me, I filled her with lead. I then ran down the corridor, past the washrooms, and then I saw my boss's office and 2 shapes inside, I decided it was an alien freak, and bust down the door, which I was then greeted by the boss was actually playing poker with a marine zombie. The sad fact about that was that the zombie was winning.
"Ah man, you win again; I swear you have an ace up your sleeve!"
The zombie laughed and clumsily raked in the winnings. The zombie then turned to me, then the boss, then me again, and started to attack the boss, which is when I shot 3 rounds into its skull. It fell faster then a sack of potatoes with a rocket attached.
"Boss you alright!?"
"Of course I'm alright; I get to keep the winnings now that he's dead heheheheh"
So I proceeded to tell him how the professor was dead, and half of the engineers were turned to zombies, and how there was alien freaks wandering around.
"Well, today is a good day"
"How's that?"
"Well, the coffee machine still works"
I sighed as he went to the coffee machine to get coffee, when another freak of nature appeared, and destroyed the coffee machine.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" yelled the boss
He then glared at it, and got a evil look
"YOU!!!"
The monster then got a scared look in his eight or so eyes, and started to back up slowly, while I took cover behind his desk. All I heard was the sounds of punches going through the alien's skull, and the slump of his body on the ground.
"Wow sir, I never knew you had it in you"
"Yeah, well, I was a boy scout once"
He then told me to go to Grid Kilo 39, and try to get a distress signal out, he then handed my a earpiece so we could stay communicated, and I set off.
About 3 steps out of his office, the lights went out, and I heard creepy grunting noises.
"WHY THE LIGHTS!!!!WHY ALWAYS THE LIGHTS!!!!!!"
So I fired randomly around in the darkness, and hit one of the zombies, who fell over dead, who then tripped up another zombie forcing it into a holographic projector, electrifying it, and then another zombie came by and touched him, and pretty much a chain of electrified zombies. It was pretty cool to watch. Next stop, ComSat.
