Emily lowered her weapon. "Derrick? How can this be?" She walked up to him.
His face broke into a smile. "I have no idea. Have you bumped into any of them?"
Nic walked over to him pulled him into the tram, and pressed to button for the bridge. "is the rest of your squad dead?"
Derrick looked at him surprised. "I have no idea. I got separated from them by some giant tentacle." He looked at the dead man that has slumped over due to the tram moving. "Oh Jack. You never made it did you? He was going to the coms station to send out an SOS. Looks like he never made it." He walked over to the dead body and closed it's eyes. He turned back to Emily and Nic. "How did you guys get here? Is there a ship?"
Nic nodded. "We did come in on our shuttle. But we can not leave untill we get some background. I hope you can fill us in."
Derrick cleared his throat. "Yes yes. I don't know how but these things came from somewhere in the ship. Some of the crew tried to leave by escaping to the colony. I don't know what happened down there, but it may have spread. I think this all is tied to that artifact they found on the planet. But frankly I don't care all I wanted to do all day was to get off this damn ship." He looked at Emily, but than quickly looked away. The doors opened and they got off.
Emily than spotted something. "You guys have stores here?" She walked up to the counter that had the words "all things store" above it.
Derrick looked at the store. "Yeah, the company thought it would help make more money."
Nic walked up to it. "We can get Navy Commando Suits. They're better armored than out Engineer suits."
Emily chuckled. "Pffff I like my outfit. Besides look it says 'out of stock' so you can't get any. She gestured forwards. "come one ghost waiting." They started down the hallway that lead to the bride when a couple of slashers jumped out a vent. With the firepower of the three of them they took care of them, but Nic got pinned, And Emily saved him. When they got to the door to the bridge the door looked like something was biting on it, something big.
Nic than said "Wow what happaned here?" He than looked to Derrick than Emily than Derrick again.
Emily Shrugged. "No idea." The door could still open which surprised Emily. When they got in they say Ghost and the other in the pits with their security shield on.
Ghost saw her and yelled. "NIC EMILY WATCH OUT!" Just than a giant creature came charging in knocking them all down.
Emily got up and started shooting it but her rounds bounced off. "what the hell is that?
Nic than replied. "No idea less talky more shooty." He than unleashed a wave of shots. Nic than looked back. "Lure it to the airlock." They than started lure it out if the bridge and to the airlock while also dodging it's attack. Derreck grabbed his grenade that was on his belt activated it that threw it. It exploded in a bright flash of light. It did damage to the creature but it still kept coming. Derrick started shooting it with full auto but it did little. They than came in sight of the airlock.
Emily saw some yellow flesh at it's 'shoulders'. "Guys you see that yellow fleshy stuff? Maybe it is a weakness blast it." She started shooting at it and it seemed to hurt it. They than started to circle it shooting at the yellow flesh until one of the arms got shot off. The creature roared in pain. It than used some smaller arms to open a hole in it,s chest. "What the hell is it doing?!" Than giant fleshy thing came popping out exploding when it hit something. "It's shooting bombs at us kill it quick." It took a while but they managed to kill the creature. They all headed back to the bridge. "let's hope we don't bump into another one of thous." Ghost and the other started checking the computers. "What the situation?"
Ghost looked from one monitor to another than looked at Emily. "No one had a clue were these thing came from. Worst of all a malfunction happened and all the escape pods were launched. Well I don't see why we should stick around. Nic, Emily got tell that slacker to get the shuttle ready for launch. He won't answer any of our hails, annnnd." He looked up at Derrick. "Oh Derrick you're alive. Good to see that. You can stay here we need you. Mike over there got injured by that thing."
Emily slapped Derrick's shoulder. "See you around." They than started to head for the hanger. They encountered sme Slashers, but they were took care of them. When they got to the hanger they saw the shuttle. "Why is he not responding. All is quiet here." They got to the shuttle and brought the ramp down. And as soon as the ramp was down a slasher charged them and tackled Emily. Before Nic could kill it Emily felt it's blade go deep into her shoulder. She screamed in pain. Nic than killed it and leaned over her trying to stop the bleeding. He than lifted her up and carried her onto the shuttle. She than blacked out.
