Hunter in Space
Chapter 4: Aily is in the house and found out she did an oopsie daisy~!
Aily Berg, known back home to be rather airheaded and ditzy with most people, being a blond haired woman wearing a dull blue sweater that exposes her shoulders and huge amount of cleavage of her huge bust, black yoga pants and dull blue sneakers with black soles and lastly a beanie sat neatly on top of her head.
Those that KNOWS her, she is a genius.
...A genius with good amount of Lunacy due to the amount of horrors she was exposed to at a young age, seemingly somewhat cured when she went through the same procedure like her best friend Rachell did by enhancing herself to super human length, her lunacy somehow... Became tamed.
By that, I mean she somehow manage to actually able to CONTROL her Lunacy to frightening levels that whenever she is in inventor mode, she delve into her crazed mind to see what form of new marvels that could be of help... Or cause great amount of fear and terror into her enemies, humans, demonic or aberrations, doesn't matter which.
Many have learned to stay on her good side and avoid annoying her, or else they be the next on her "Experiments" and never come back the same ever again.
So the same crazed yet ditzy airheaded blond woman, the same one that would impress a certain mad medic part of the mercenary group of another world, stood before her broken creation with an annoyed look as she inspect the broken teleporter that likely brought her to this weird medical room.
"Man what the heck happened to this thing?" She wondered as she bent down, squishing her impressive rack against her thighs and knees as she carefully inspected the device. "Nothing seems to indicate anyone or anything activated it... Unless the power cells or the Aether crystal somehow wasn't properly aligned correctly and caused a mishap start."
Muttering to herself as she picks the broken device up and stored it away in her digital inventory, not even bothering to shove it inside her cleavage where it would break down into digital data to mess around which makes the situation a bit more serious for the usual goof ball of crazy sunshine.
"And not to mention" She sniffed the air "I can smell blood and exposed organs in the air..."
Looking around the office that she happens to be inside, it looks like one of those regular doctor office you would see in hospitals. She already ruled out of it being a Kethral Union office as most of those brain dead morons love to follow their color scheme and trend with their architecture.
Plus, they barely even have any hospitals in their territories mostly because they don't even bother to service the common folks due to them being too poor so they reserved any hospitals for the rich, leaving the poor and downtrodded to fend for themself.
As for their soldiers... well they're mostly just meat suits puppetered by computers and cybernetics so they don't even need any medical help because, of course, those corporate government assholes rather want brainless loyal soldiers to serve them and not care about getting paid or seeking health care.
...And they wonder why they seem to have so much problems against the Frontier militia and the Voidborn; Former for men and woman able to think for themself and be creative with their tactics and knows what they fight for is freedom and a future for their families and species. The latter is a hive mind of a single entity that wants to consume them all and trying to break free, learning how their human enemies fight and creating new abominations to combatant them.
While those Corpos asshats cares about money, control and their own ego with no bloody military expert or experience to help them with the fight.
Like for god sake, they sent half of their forces to Greenland of all places! From what she has heard, they believe there are secret Silos with Nuclear missiles still kept there and want to use them against the Frontier alliance instead of the obvious goddamn fucking eldritch monsters coming from the east threatening to swarm all over Europe.
But it turns out the entire snowy island has been taken over by another group of similiar aberrations that has the same look of the Voidborn but with different color scheme but not on the same side...If that makes any sense.
Shaking her head from the negative thoughts she has for those idiots, needing to focus on her current predicament and finding replacement parts for her teleporter...
Wait.
"Was I alone in my house?" Aily asked herself as she stood up, thought to herself as if trying to remember if she was alone in her "house".
By house I mean a large van that has been remodelled from the inside to not only be comfortable but also house her workshop, along with some beds for her and her two friends...
"uh oh." Realizing that Rachell and Alice was ALSO inside the van when the teleporter went haywire and chances are they too ended up here with her to...Wherever the hell this place is.
Suddenly Aily's attention was brought to something, a noise coming from the vents above her as whatever was inside was crawling in a rather fast pace toward one of the large human sized vents and stopped.
Aily just stood there in the middle of the room as she looked at the vent with curiosity as she can see something staring back at her in the darkness behind the vent cover.
The creature inside growled before leaped out with a roar, showings its full glory to be a normal naked Slasher.
Aily...Didn't really do anything or even react as she merely looked at the thing with some fascination as she watched the creature shambling toward her, likely wanting to shove its two bladed arms deep inside her~
As it got close enough to actually be in stabbing distance, just as it raised its arms to slash downward at her, Aily pulled out something from her inventory as she shoved what looks like a dark grey metalic rod with a handle and at the end of the rod has two spiked fork that stabbed into the groin of the creature and huge amount of electricity came out and shocked the Slasher as it froze, spasm and twitch as its body light up like a christmas tree.
Aily stopped shocking the thing with her Shockstick as it fell backward on its back, groaning and whimpering in confused pain as it twitched on the floor.
"Now where was I?" Aily said as she walks away from the twitching creature and looks outside the office window to see she's in sort of either a medical facility or a science research lab.
"Hmm..." She hummed as she knocked on the window to see how thicc it is while jabbing her Shockstick behind her shoulder as it poked into the throat of the Slasher as she shocked it once more as it tried to attack her from behind but got sent to the floor twitching with sparks of electrity dance around it.
From what she could feel from the glass window it is thicc enough to be bulletproof in some way... meaning she be wasting time trying to break free through here.
Glancing toward the door out of here, she can see it is locked with the red hologram on the door saying its locked. then glance back to the vent where that creature came from and walked toward it, even stepping on the Slasher as it tries to lift itself up with its bladed arms but then let out a "GRAHK!?" as Aily stepped on its back, breaking some bones as she just walks past its prone form and inspect the vent.
"Looks like i'd have to use my little Fairy bots for scouting and see a way out, hopefully see if I can find Rachell and Alice." She commented to herself as she peered inside the large vent, and then jabbed her Shockstick once more behind her as the shockstick once more shocked the Slasher in the groin as it somehow let out a scream of pain that sounded quite a lot similar to Marv getting electrocuted in Home Alone 2 after getting turned into a skeleton.
This time the Slasher didn't even bother to try rise again due to it groaning in pain and twitching from getting electrocuted so many damn time.
Which considering what it is by the entity that created them, this SHOULDN'T be possible!
"Guess I'll be in here for a while till my Fairy bots either finds a way out or clear the vents for me to crawl through." Aily muttering to herself as she steps away from the vent and past the downed zombie who didn't even bother to try attack again, as she whip out what looks like a gauntlet on her left arm with a hologram computer hovering above it.
Pressing some buttons as several things start to materialize around her, soon revealing small floating robots with energy like wings similar to fairies in some ways as they hovered around their creator, letting out chirps and beeps as they danced around their creator with happiness to see her.
Aily smiled as she patted one of them affectionally before ordering them.
"Alright my little Fairies~! Mama's little device broke and sent me and the others to some strange place and i need you to find either a new way out of this room or clear the vents for me to crawl through!"
"So be my little dears and go cause havoc, make mama proud~!" The Fairy bots chirped in affirmative before they all flew one by one through the vents, already Aily could hear the plasma repeater built into them already firing at the creatures seemingly inhabitating the vents as their roars of pain can be heard.
"Now, while waiting here..." The Slasher on the floor suddenly froze at the tone of Aily's voice somehow taking a sinister tone as it slowly raise its head to look at her.
To make the matter worse, the lights inside the room suddenly flickered as the power to the lightbubs died out, incasing the room in darkness with the only light source is the office window, showing only Aily's near upper half of her body as her face was shrouded in darkness as she glance toward it.
"Might as well see what makes you tick~" a sinister grin was visible as she raise the Shockstick and a bonesaw in the other hand, making the Slasher actually start sweating in cold utter fear as its eyes nearly bulge out of its sockets in pure terror.
Inside the vents, one of the lucky survivors of the Fairy invasion manage to crawl to safety revealing to be a Leaper with some burn marks to its body from the plasma repeaters. It growled as it crawled through the vents before suddenly stop few feet away from the opening where Aily was to see in shock a SCARED Slasher tried to crawl through screaming with its only upper half of its body visible from behind the opening while flailing its bladed arms in sheer panic and fear, trying to crawl out of there to safety.
It saw the Leaper and began screaming and almost seemingly begging for it to save it, before it suddenly was janked back inside the dark room as flashes of electricity can be seen along with a "Come back, I want to dissect you for science~!" and then, silence...
The Leaper just stood there in complete utter shock and terror of what it just saw, then it jolted as it backed away as it saw a hand slowly reaching inside the vent and grip the side.
The Leaper immediately turn around and bolted right out of there, ignoring the "hey come back, you look interesting!" as it would rather take its chances with those strange flying machines!
With Benson and Smith
Smith jolted awake as he heard a noise, glancing around the room with blurry eyes he rubbed his tired eyes as he adjusted to his surroundings and realize he was back inside the tram control room... With Benson sleeping next to him in another chair.
"W-What the fuck..Didn't we?" Confused and worried, he looks at his wounds and sees that he is healed from them but he can still feel how sore and numb they were, like he hasn't fully healed yet but is getting there.
"What the hell is going on, wasn't I on the verge of death?" he thought to himself, before glancing over to Ben.
He wondered if it was all just a nightmare until he sees that Benson is just as roughed up like he is and that...He could hear those things are crawling in the vents and disappears.
Not only that, but how the hell haven't they been attacked by those things yet? like, don't get him wrong but getting some good fucking sleep without nightmare is a huge blessing but...How are they still alive?
"H-hey Ben." Smith almost feel bad of waking up Ben, the man was just as tired he was and food had run out few days ago "wake up, something is going on."
"W-whua?" The man groaned, opening his to see Smith sitting in front of him before his eyes snapped opened and let out a "SMITH! You're ok!"
"Y-yeah, not sure how the hell I'm alive. Got clipped pretty badly back there, just... How did you manage to heal me, there aren't a lot of med kits laying around?"
"...It's going to sound crazy but, we got saved by a busty dark skinned cat girl with lightning powers." Benson answered honestly with a straight face while staring directly in Smith eyes.
"...What?"
"I'm not fucking with you man, our asses got saved by a literal cyborg cat girl in the most skimpiest outfit I ever seen and has the biggest fucking pair of tits I ever seen saved our asses with guns that literally tore those fucking things apart like they were nothing."
"...WHAT!?" Smith exclaimed, barely comprehend what he just heard.
"L-Look, right now she is away getting something so that the goddamn system won't think she is an intruder." Ben began explaining "But I swear i'm not fucking with you and its better to hear that from her directly and see for yourself!"
"A-Alright fine, fine... huh?" Smith looked around and noticed something. "Is it just me or... Are the headaches gone?"
"You can thank that thing over there." Benson pointed at the Safety Beacon planted onto the floor "Rachell said it helps provide shelter from those...things. Not sure how it works but it healed our injuries and the moment i stepped inside; it felt like i reached heaven. No headache and no burning pain, just complete serenity."
"Jesus really?" Smith looked at the device, can feel...something emitting from it, it feels pleasant and the smell of lavender is so damn soothing that he felt a lot more calmer and relaxed than he ever felt before all this happened.
"Yeah... Though I haven't heard of Rachell in a while, hope she is fine." Benson said, looking out of the window.
"...So?"
"So what?" benson looked back at Smith who has a playful smirk on his face.
"Is she hot?" he asked.
"Dude really?" Benson sighed in slight bit of annoyance but also in amusement. "I know you're a damn weeb Smith but i don't think it's the right time for that crap."
If there is one thing Benson knows about Smith is that he is an anime lover. The first time he met the man he didn't seem like it at work, even during breaks. But after their shifts the man revealed he likes anime and like to watch those cartoons during free time when there was nothing else to do.
Granted Smith doesn't go around and proudly proclaim he loves anime or manga, just a man that happens to like the shows and books and is pleasant to be around at work.
"Come on man, you know I like em cat girls and fox girls~" He laughed, though cough a little from how dry his throat felt from not getting any water for a while.
"Yeah and I'm sure this one will shoot you dead if you even try flirting with em." benson drawled with a deadpanned look.
"Alright, alright i'm just joking" Smith shook his head before laying back in the chair "...but seriously, is she hot?"
"Like extremely hot, shit I seen plenty of good looking women but goddamn is she one hell of a looker!" Benson admitted, also laying back in the chair to relax and rest, still feeling tired and sore all over from the amount of days fighting and surviving the horrors that runs through the ship.
"Man i hope she is ok, can't wait to see what she looks li-hm?" Smith noticed something on the top of the controls.
"...The heck are these?" benson muttered, also noticed the items placed near them.
Taking the object of their attention, Benson looked at it with a raised eyebrow before pulling the cork and took a sniff.
"Is this...Milk?"
Sure enough, the content that Rachell left behind before leaving for Dobbs RIG was indeed pair of bottled milk in flasks that has a labell calling them "Rations". He took a whiff of it and immediately he felt his stomach rumbled loudly, remembering that he hasn't eaten anything for several days now and they ran out of water half a day ago.
"Jesus really? goddayum she really is a cat girl if she left these behind!" Smith laughed, taking the flask and opens it. Benson just shook his head but smiled, at least Rachell has some humor of carrying around bottles of milk like a cat girl she is... Before he sees Smith frown when he stared down at his flask with confusion.
"You alright?"
"...Say, where did the milk come from?" Smith asked out of the blue.
"...What?"
"Like, where did she get these? Didn't think we had a cow around the ship and you know we use that powdered milk crap for our coffee... You said that she is some busty cat girl, you don't think she...?" It took couple of seconds for Benson's brain to register what Smith is suggesting with his question before he snorted.
"yeah i don't think that woman would literally give us her own fucking breasts milk, get your mind out of the gutter man."
"Fair enough, just wondered where she got fresh real milk from. Since, ya know? getting any real fucking milk in space is next to impossible." Smith said before taking a sip and his eyes widen how good it tasted before he drank it up like his life depended on it.
Benson took a sip from his and also start chugging it down as his stomach welcomed the warm nutrition, it felt so damn good! finally getting something in his stomach from starving to death, granted its milk but anything is better than becoming desperate enough to start eating the corpses of his fellow humans.
Or worse the bodies of those things...
Benson shudders at the thought, grateful that he and Smith got something to fill their stomach to at least keep them running for another day or two. The two talked for a bit before decided to go back to sleep while waiting for Rachell to turn up so that Ben can prove to smith he isn't crazy and how outlandish Rachell is and her world is like.
Not noticing that the elevator at the tram waiting station opened up, letting two people walk outside with a dark skinned man wielding a Pulse rifle aiming at any possible enemy with a fair skinned woman stood behind him looking around in worry and fear.
With them noticing the two but sees them unmoving, thinking they're corpses killed in their seats.
With Rachell
"I feel like i shouldn't mention where I got my rations from to Ben and his friend that it's my own breasts milk to sustain myself..." Rachell said to herself, realizing that since this is entirely different plane of existence than her own reality. Chances are, the social perspective or how sensitive it might be of such explicit method of survival may not be acceptable in this reality.
So it might be better to keep that knowledge to herself.
Rachell leaned against the wall waiting for the quarantine to end, but from the looks of it. It ain't ending anytime sooner so might as well try find a way out of this room.
Looking over at the vent, she is very hesitant to try crawl through there as her chances of survival against those things won't be great as her fighting capability will be very limited how narrow and closed spaced it is.
"Then again, can't risk breaking the door down as it would probably alert the system and bring more of those freaks to me." She thought as she walks over to the vent, grabbed the covering and pulled it off with ease, breaking the screws and letting them and the cover fall to the floor as she looks inside.
Dark as hell with the only source of light is some red emergency light here and there. Enough to see but not exactly pleasant nor ideal to try crawl through without being in the mercy of those creatures.
Looking to her left, she sees none of those things waiting for her but hears nothing but the ambiance of machinery and distant roaring. Looking to her right it was the same with no Slasher or Leapers crawling or waiting to pounce her, and a Fairy bot heading right toward her fa-
"WHA!?" Rachell jumped back, just in time to avoid getting her face smacked by a flying Fairy bot to speed past her, then came back and scanned her before chirping.
"Rachell~!" Aily's voice came out of the speaker of her fairy bot "I found you~!"
"A-Aily!?" Rachell gasped, taking few steps back to let the Fairy bot inside the maintenance room as it hovered before her.
"Was worried that you were in danger but it seems you are ok~!"
"Tell me about it, except i'm stuck inside the damn Maintenance room due to a quarantine." Rachell answered, very relieved that someone she knows is here as well.
"Oh yeah, probably because of those weird creatures." There was some weird noise of gurgling in the background before the sound of a Shockstick activate and a pained yelp was heard "Anyway, you haven't seen Alice anywhere have you?"
"Wait she is here too?"
"...Not. Exactly per say, I might have done an oopsie daisy that may or may not have brought us all three of us here."
"...Aily, what did you do?"
"Promise me that you won't yell at me?"
"...I promise."
"...You hesitated there."
"...No i didn't."
"you hesitated again!"
"Look, just tell me what happened and we'll figure out a way to get back home." Rachell sighed.
"Alright... You remember the teleporter device that we used to get back to earth after that last adventure in that world, right?" Aily began explaining.
"I remember, I was there. What's this about the teleporter?"
"I may or may not have...Properly checked it to make sure it won't go haywire and after waking up, i found it in pieces..."
"Aily what the hell!?"
"Hey you promised to not yell at me!"
"So that's why i can't fucking remember anything!" Rachell growled in annoyance "We all were sleeping inside the van before that fucking thing decided to off itself and sent us to this goddamn monster infested space ship!?"
"Wait we're on a space ship?"
"A-And wait, did the van come with us here too?"
"...Maybe? I don't know, I just woke up inside what looks like a medical or science lab!"
"Great!" Rachell threw her arms up in frustration "So not only do none of us have any idea where Alice is, but neither have any idea where our goddamn car is too!"
"I mean... We did make it hardy enough to survive deep pressure under water?"
"A-Aily I don't think that applies to goddamn outter space!" Just the idea of their Van being outside in outter space sends panic attack to Rachell.
They all three have worked so damn hard to not only make the car work but livable as a moving home and have the essential things needed for any missions they go to.
Hell that's also where they keep most of their stock, supplies, resources and ammo there!
"Hey, hey, hey!" Aily exclaimed "Look, lets focus on finding Alice! we can worry about the van later if it can survive the coldness of space, just let me worry about fixing the teleporter while you focus on finding Alice or any survivors in this place!"
"Right..." Rachell sighed, calming down and taking deep breaths.
"Also, noticed you were going to crawl through the vents, want my little fairies keeping you company~?" Aily asked yet also teased.
"Sure, I need to go back to Benson and tell him I fixed a temporary ID for the system to think i'm someone else." Rachell said.
"Oh yeah, it would have something like that... Think you can fix something for me or do i have to use my super hacking skills~?"
"You do whatever you want Aily, just make sure to keep me safe while I crawl through this nightmare fuel of a ventilation system." She drawled as she and the fairy bot went inside the vent.
Already she can feel how cramped the ventilation is, but the faster she getting out of here the better.
"Soooo, what's this Benson guy you're talking about? is it a survivor~?"
"...Right, might as well explain what I have found so far, just make sure to keep me safe cus i'm sure as hell not gonna be able to do much other than firing forward." the busty cat girl muttered in annoyance, crawling through the vent with her pistols out just for safety sake while Aily's Fairy bot keeping a watch on her rear.
Elsewhere back to near the Tram control station.
"JESUS!" Isaac Clarke screamed as he fired his newly aqcuired Plasma cutter at one of those abominations that nearly got him after unlocking the locked door in the repair station.
Ever since he joined the repair mission with the Kellion crew, he hoped he could talk to Nicole and tell her how sorry he was for... well, what happened back then.
Never in his life would he ever imagine he be fighting fucking monsters!
He aimed at one of the limbs of those praying mantis like zombies, blowing the arm off while focusing on cutting off the legs to mobilize it. It was thanks to that bloodied message on the wall above the bench where he found the Plasma cutter telling him to cut the limbs off these freaks of nature and it is working.
After dealing with the creature, he stomped its head to bits with his Engineering suits heavy boots just to make sure it stays dead.
"This is fucked up!" he thought, his heart pounded and breathing heavily.
he was scared out of his mind, but survival instinct kicked in to help him focus and making sure he gets out of this alive.
He Walked past the corpse, still aiming his weapon with shaky hands at anything or anymore of those things. He wonder if Hammond and Kendra manage to get out of there alive, he remembered what happened to Chen... That poor man didn't deserve what happened to him.
Then something else came to his mind, those things that chased him... They were wearing Ishimura uniforms!
Were these things what remained of the crew?
"Nicole...!" His worry of his girlfiend increased, as the idea that she... No, she is alive. She must be, she is one of the best doctors he ever known. She do the smart thing and do everything she can to survive those monsters!
After all she sent that recording for a reason, she must have tried sending help!
Renewed with determination to save Nicole and finding out what the hell is going on and getting the hell out of here, he marched forward.
With a goal in mind, he is willing to step into hell itself to try and find Nicole.
Unaware that he will find strange otherworldly allies who has the power to stop this.
Question is... is he ready to face the nightmare whatever is happening in the ship?
