Simovic then turned his attention to the attacking Xenomorphs, firing his pulse rifle in controlled bursts. He noiced that the injured Spurlock was equiped with a Flame Unit, which could be put to good use. He spoke into his comms "Someone in 2nd Squad get Spurlocks Flame Unit and lay down a wall of fire, hopefully it'll stop those things".

"Roger that." Dirk said as he emptied another clip and slammed another in.

"Tyler, get the flame unit, and lay down a wall of fire. Go!" Dirk yelled over the thunder of weapons fire and the high pitched screams of xenomorphs

Suddenly the room is plunged into total darkness, the only light source coming from the Incendiary Grenades and the muzzles as rounds are pounded into the attacking aliens. A fresh wave of aliens replace the fallen.
Simovic spoke into his comms "We have at least four people KIA or MIA & two WIA. I still need an ETA, I'm not sure how much longer we can hold this position"



Just as he finished speaking the lights went out in the station. Simovic flicked on his Shoulder Lamp and pulled down his infrared eyepiece. He then shouted into the platoon comms channel "Go to infrared and get your shoulder lamps on, if they arn't already". He then went back to firing into the endless mass of Xeno's.

Sixtus flipped on his light, but instead of going immediately to Infrared, he started lighting flares and tossing them around to spread the light, all ten flares. And this way the dropship could see when it came in.

Then Sixtus looked at the doors protecting them from the vacuum. If the power was cut, then the doors wouldn't be able to work to let the dropship in. Swearing as he checked his medical readouts on the Marines, he returned to firing single shots while forgetting to pull on his IR goggles.

Sergeant, I can be there in two minutes. I need those doors open ASAP. Also it seems the whole place has gone dark. You guys punch out the lights or what?



When you flip down your IR goggles the only thing you can see it your team mates. The Aliens don't show up period.

Tyler switched on his shoulder lamp, but didn't pull down his infra red. He'd heard that the infra red didn't pick up xenomorphs, and the flares illuminated the perimeter enough so that Tyler could still see his comrades.

Tyler began firing at the xenomorphs again. His ammunition wasn't going to last forever, he'd already fired up a good portion of it, so he shortened each burst of 10mm fire.

Dropship's coming. Just a little more time. Come on man, you've managed to get this far. Keep it together.

Eric had dragged himself to one knee when the 12 xenos showed up. He had managed to squeeze off one burst before he lost his footing and fell down again. In the short lapse he dragged himself to his feet and flicked on his shoulder lamp, and pulled down his infrared. He lit off one flare and dropped it. Then he thought, 'I already lost Schmidt, I'm not losing Ivanov too.' As the second wave of xenos showed up he opened fire with his pulse rifle, firing long bursts, just then he remembered that his infrared didn't work on xenos. "Got'cher back Dirk!"

Fox backed up until he got close to his squad. His gun was steaming. Fox didn't let the off the trigger, even when the lights shut off, and the processor did not stop beeping. Fox was laying a stream of led into all the Xenomorphs that were lit up by the flares, even though the targeting system could pick things up in the dark, to make sure he was actually hitting them. Fox's ammo was running dry and quickly, so he would have to find a rifle or something, and he would soon have to snap the quick release on his vest. Two more minutes into the fight fox had used his quick release to drop his smartgun, he turned on his shoulder lamb and pulled out his VP-70 with a flare in the other hand.

"Dirk, the ammo is dry for the smartgun. Keep your eyes open for a pulse rifle." Fox turned back to the enclosing xenomorphs.

Simovic searched around near the airlock doors to find a control panel which worked them, hopefully it'd have some sort of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system incase of loss of power. He tried opening the inner airlock doors and lit a flare ready to throw in there to create a bit of light. He'd shut them as soon as he done this. As he waited for the doors to open he spoke into his comms.

"We've had a loss of power here, hopefully the doors will work on UPS. I'm gonna thow a flare in the airlock but you will probably need to use the dropships exterior lights to pilot in".

Dirk was throwing flares around the area, making it look like some kind of horror movie.

"Come on Tyler, Lets start falling back." Dirk said as he joined up with Fox. He picked up the flame unit and handed it to Fox" Heat em up Fox" He said as he started to fire again

"Oohrah!", yelled Tyler over the gunfire as he jammed his second last clip into his pulse rifle. As he pulled back, he began firing at the advancing xenomorphs again.

Sixtus continued his single shots, conserving his ammunition. It wasn't needed anyway as he was still on his first magazine. Twenty read the counter. Nineteen. Eighteen. Seventeen. Sixteen.

Sixtus was making every shot he made count. Walls were being sprayed with acid. He didn't hit every single time, but he was more than holding his own.

"Sarge, we need the dropship here now!"

"I'll spot you back for this Dirk." Fox arced to the xenomorphs that were illuminated by the flares.
-=Tag Dirk=-

Foxed hastily grabbed the flame unit. Using the igniter and a short one second burst he lite a cig that he helled in front of the gun. He raised the smoke to his mouth and moved in. He sent streams across the room towards the dark to lite up the area better and to give pulse rifles the upper hand again. He took a drag from his over burnt cig and exhaled.Fox looked around and counted how many members were left, not enough, and then held his ground sending streams of napalm at any advancing foe.

"Hey dirk im out of lame ass slogans, you got one?" Fox chuckled as he hit a xenomorph with a wall of flames.

"How you holding up there bud?"

Simovic spoke into his comms

"Ok I'm gonna attempt to open them now. ETA hopefully a few minutes, over".


Simovic will try to open the inner doors a fraction to chuck a lit flare in and then close it and open the outter doors.

[O.O.C Roll Intelligence check, to see if he knows how to work the controls. Of course them working is dependent on whether the doors have some sort of UPS that'll let them function regardless of a loss of power]
