Turn 15: Fresh Air
The Devil Dawgs were at the end of the tunnel, and they did not want to stay another minute in this underground hell. Paulson’s injury was the only real obstacle left. Fortunately his arms still worked, and he clung to the rope ladder as if his life depended on it as healthy troops above lifted him ...

Turn 14: Exfiltration
Safety was so close, but not there yet. At the front of the column, Giosso helped the civilians climb the ropes to get out of the hole. The feedlot had been partially bulldozed by the APC, so clean sunlight glared down into the entrance of the nightmare of tunnels. The injured Staff Sergeant Wesley ...

Re: Turn 13: High Water Mark
The xenomorphs in front came on first. They were trying to cut off the Marines' retreat. Two of them came around the corner only a short distance in front of Henniger. The tunnel lit up like a strobe light as the pulse rifles opened up. Giosso and Henniger were at the front, and they had a better vi...

Re: Turn 13: High Water Mark
Tiger Squad worked fast to set the fourth and final sentry gun, facing east. It was better to use it now, instead of lugging it back out with them. Henniger's squad took point, retracing their steps back through the underground maze. The Corporal's flares were still burning, and their red light illu...

Turn 13: High Water Mark
Forester jumped into action, using the adrenaline to push him through the overwhelming exhaustion he felt. One claymore, then two. As he was setting the third, he saw two xenomorphs come bolting down the tunnel at him. His heart jumped into his throat for a second, then a loud bang reverberated thro...

Re: Turn 12: The Breeding Chamber
Paulson led the way, followed by Quinn and Blake. They moved along the north wall, scanning the eggs for movement. Quinn and Blake each nailed one, and Paulson lit up two. As they reached the west side of the room, they linked back up with Second Squad. There was no time for handshakes, however. Egg...

Re: Turn 12: The Breeding Chamber
FIRST SQUAD: Private Blake fired a shotgun shell that splattered the chest-burster and silenced the screams of the dying victim. The shot reverberated around the chamber. Private Quinn threw out a flare and then opened fire on the eggs with his pulse rifle. He was careful with his shots since he ha...

Turn 12: The Breeding Chamber
Second Squad moved into the chamber from the south. Tiger Squad and First Squad entered from the east. Their shocked silence was broken by a scream from the northeast wall. A middle aged woman gagged and coughed and screamed with pain. The Marines watched helplessly as her chest cracked open and a b...

Re: Turn 11: Captive
FIRST SQUAD: Quinn opened fire on the healthy alien and his bullets ripped into its center of mass. It fell with a scream and acid splashed the floor. Blake fired one shell, cocked another, and then the gun clicked. She had miscounted her shots and the chamber was empty. Luckily, Paulson brought up...

Re: Turn 11: Captive
SECOND SQUAD: Corporal Henniger led Second Squad west down the tunnel at a jogging pace. Their drilled and practiced caution was not cutting it, and the time had come to take a risk. The Marines passed the south tunnel they had come from, and then they reached another tunnel branching off to the no...

Turn 11: Captive
FIRST SQUAD: Paulson pointed his flame unit into the hole in the ceiling and opened fire. The jet of flame coursed upward, and a high pitched scream echoed from above. The hideous limbs of the xenomorph scrabbled up the wall of the vertical opening. The flame sputtered out as the already thin oxyge...

Re: Turn 10: Heating Up
The Marines of First Squad saw the hideous shapes running and jumping down the tunnel toward them. Four of the creatures were running toward them in the dim light of the remaining fires. Paulson’s breathing slowed and he felt a moment of intense clarity. In the hole in the ceiling, his eye caught th...

Turn 10: Heating Up
The rebreathers could not produce oxygen out of nothing, but they helped to make use of what gasses remained after the flamethrowers had burned up so much of the air. It was good enough to continue on while replacement oxygen filtered its way down into the tunnels from above. Lieutenant Fletcher spo...

Re: Turn 9: Old Friends
Quinn opened fire first into the darkness with shotgun shells from his grenade launcher attachment. The sound of the discharge echoed in the tight space, and the smell of gunpowder filled their nostrils. The aliens screamed as the buckshot peppered them in the darkness. Paulson opened fire with his ...
