They all huddle around the MAAT. The pilot was describe were the shuttles will be. "The shuttles won't be in the Hanger I'll be landing in, they'll be in the shuttle hanger, but it isn't far, and even a person who has never been on these ships, can find it, now lets hurry before people start taking off in them." They all boarded the MAAT, and the Pilot climbed into the cockpit. He than started up the engines, and closed the doors, he than took the gunship off the ground, and out the hanger, every one felt a weight lift off them, as they leave the ship, they couldn't be more happier leaving that ship, but they also knew that they were leaving one nightmare for another.
As they neared the New Republic ship, they decided to make a plan, Aira-ty spoke first. "Okay guys we need a plan encase of the two following scenario happen. Scenario A: The pilot dies, and scenario B: is that there is no shuttles left." She looked from one person to the next
M2 made a couple of beeps. "No, no M2 we can not pilot the entire ship, none of us know how, and why would we want to bring the entire infestation with us? We want to get away from them, not bring them along..." Emily looked at the ship as they grew closer to it. "I'm pretty sure the ship a maintenance shuttle, and only Engineers, of high ranking as access to it. So all we need to do is find one of them, or just find him in general, and get the codes off him, so we can get past the security doors, and be able to access the shuttle, but i don't know, thats how it is in with us, so it could be different in the New Republic."
Eddie paced back and forth a couple of times, he tan said. "Well if we can't get any shuttle of any kind, we could just us the ship's com arrays to contact another ship, and hope that it doesn't get over run also... and if we can;t do that, well we could take this MAAT down to the colony, i hear that's were all the shuttles from the Aldrean went."
The Gunship, than started to sway, and shake violently, Aira-ty went and pressed the coms that went to the cockpit. "Dude what the hell are you doing?!" but they got no reply. She yelled in frustration. "Pilot's MIA..." she than saw that than looked out a window. "Pr-pair for impact!"
Emily looked at Aira-ty in confusion. "What?" But before she could get a reply, the gunship crashed into something, and Emily was thrown forwards onto Eddie, and Ghost onto her, the gunship, than came to a stop. "Ghost... can you get off me?" Ghost than got up, and Emily looked around, but when she looked to her left, she was staring right into Eddie's eye's. She looked down and saw that she was siting on Eddie's lap, and his hands were on her stomach, she shot off him faster than fast. They than stood up, cleared their throats, and dusted them self's off, She tried to looked at Eddie, but he was red in the face, and was looking away.
Aira-ty than let out a sigh of frustration. "Oh my lord, Come on love birds lets get moving."
Emily snapped back to reality, looked around for her helmet, found it, and than put it on. She than exited to Gunship, with Eddie right behind her. She looked around. "Well it looks like we crashed in the hanger." She looked around for the door, and found it, she turned back to the rest, M2 was by the front guns, of the gunship, Ghost was looking up at Aira-ty who was on top of the gunship looking into the cockpit of the ship, and Eddie was standing by the gunship's wings looking out of the hanger, at the ship that they just came from
Aira-ty jumped down, and dusted her self off. "Well the pilot is no longer MIA he is KIA. It looks like he killed him self, with his side arm."
Ghost looked puzzled. "Why in hell would he do that?" He looked up, at the cockpit, not knowing what to expect.
Aira-ty who has started walking towards the hanger doors said. "I don't know, i kinda can't ask him, for he's dead. Come on we need to get to the shuttle hanger" Every one ran to catch up with her.
Eddie was walking backwards looking out the hanger back at the ship. "Wow it looks so peaceful, who would know there are nasty killing monsters running around it." The other commando just grabbed his shoulder and turned him so he was facing the front of the group like the rest. They all got by the door weapons at the ready, and before anyone could open the door, a man stumbled out, he walked a few passes said "Make us whole" and slumped over dead as a puddle of blood started to spread away from him. Aira-ty looked at Ghost "Well he's dead." Ghost didn't say anything else he just looked threw the door to see if the thing that killed him was still around.
He looked back at the dead man, and walked threw the door. "You don't need to worry it's all clear, none of the vents are broken, so it must mean there isn't any of them down here."
Emily walked threw followed by the rest. "Than what killed him?"
Without looking back he just said. "He did."
Emily gave a little grunt. "What tells you that?" He foot than hit something metal, and sent it across the floor, she looked at it and saw that it was a blaster pistol, with a bloody hand print on it.
Ghost looked back. "That." He continued walking, and the rest caught up to him, and made their way to the elevator. When they exited the elevator none of the vents were broken, and Emily didn't see any signs of slashers being around. Emily found it strange that she hasn't even saw a glimpse of them so far.
They rounded a corner that a coupe of dead people slumped against the walls, she first thought that slashers killed them, but when she walked past them she saw that they all head gun shot to the head, and blasters by their hands, she began to wonder what made them kill them self's.
Ghost was looking up at a sign that said "Shuttle Hanger." and it had an arrow pointed down the right. As they neared the Shuttle Hanger their walks turned into jogs, and than their jogs turned into runs. When they got to the Hanger's door they all took in a deep breath all hoping that there would be a shuttle left. Emily noticed a little digital clock thing that had words above shuttles remaining and the numbers read 20/20 which meant no shuttle have left yet, she felt so much better knowing that they were finally going to bet to go home, that when the doors open and revealed a blazing inferno from hell he almost gave up.
