Henniger had been been three back in the column when Poole's head went wet-nova. Still some of the gore painted his shoulder armor. He hadn't seen where it had come from and so didn't sing out a contact report. He just swung out opposite Paulson and dove to the opposite bulkhead in the corridor. He ...

Bryant made for the secondary hatch. She obviously had some training to do on a rifle range if they survived this cluster fuck. Maybe she'd sweet talk one of the Marines into giving her some aggressive range time. She was about worthless in zero gee combat. She wasn't getting too hard on herself, sh...

Henniger advanced with Paulson. Paulson lit up the right side of the corridor with his flame unit. Henniger tracked the second impossibly terrifying monster with the barrel of his pulse rifle. There was a fusion reactor to the right of 1st Squad and fuel tanks ahead and to the left. "Watch that reac...

Henniger stayed clear of the hissing, noxiously steaming "blood" that was busy eating into the deck in front of him where the alien had dropped after he drilled it. He had missed the second one jumping around like some impossibly nimble monkey from pipe to pipe above he and Paulson. He heard more fi...

Henniger halted his advance. He could swear he heard some clicking noises up ahead like subtle movement. There was something on the ceiling. He swore it looked like a big shiny black cockroach the size of a human being. He could have sworn it just moved. "1st Squad Point. Freeze. 15 meters front, 5 ...

Bryant hoped her rescue line had been effective but had other problems that were very immediate. The CO screamed at them all over the comm and she finally got her gloved hands into place on her weapon. She aimed as best she could at the creature to her front but Preacher ran into her line of fire an...

Henniger has been on point when the reduced platoon entered engineering. The Top had kicked Second and Third off to their right and Henniger had led off straight down the corridor. The call came across the comm from Third Squad. Eyeball who was directly behind him snapped up his motion tracker. Henn...

Henniger filed off the bridge with his platoon. The cops seemed motivated enough. This Op had gone pretty well under the circumstances for him and 1st Squad at least. He caught up with his squad leader and sidled up to him. "Corporal," he began. "You trust these civvies? I'm good for running point i...

Bryant missed, she wasn't surprised but she was about to be murdered in cold vacuum by monsters so terrified oh yes. She gasped as her fellow sailor went spinning up and away from them. Her mind raced. She wasn't being a big help in the shooting and she did have an explosive-propelled rescue line on...

Bryant felt her throat close at the site of the chitinous nightmares leap-crawling toward the small group. Her first rational thought was of Chief Patterson's assertion never to volunteer for anything. He'd said this during boot camp at New Lakes Naval Training Center. Her next thought was the absen...

Henniger watched the prisoner takedown with a lopsided grin. He shook his head and stowed his nearly empty magazine away in a dump pouch. He rammed a new one into the well and checked the chamber for a fresh round. He took stock of his equipment. He had 1 magazine left after the fresh one in his wea...

Henniger lunged from his scant cover to his left. He felt the snaps of passing rounds uncomfortably close to his face as he launched himself to the next section of diamond plated cover behind a gantry. He threw his pulse rifle out in front of him and fired at one of the black-armored enemy mercs on ...

Bryant concentrated on creating a rhythm, albeit a clanky one, with her hull boots. The pulse rifle worried her, she had only shot one once and never with thick zero atmo gloves on. She glanced up at the nebula when Stark exclaimed. It was breathtaking, but she knew why they were out here. And there...

Henniger had stowed his frags and bypass kit and when the doors buckled he flew around the left hand frame. He slid to a halt behind a reinforced bannister and swept the room visually. "Contact front." He said into his mic. There was one merc directly ahead on the ground floor. He saw two more off t...

Bryant had turned Codename Civvy Slag over to a couple rear detachment Marines and joined her crew as they gathered away from the civilians. She absorbed the briefing stoically. She actually LIKED going EV. Just not outside a station that was currently under armed combat, e.g. Marines firing those g...
