"Second squad- this may strike you as odd... But I'll be needing some of those grenades you're carrying, and Vaughuan, if I may, a tank from the incinerator wouldn't harm either." "Not odd at all, Corporal... but I'm low. Hopefully still enough to help the boom." Dar slung the incinerator, popped t...

"Easy Eight! Morrison here! Listen up people! This is a friggin' spaceship! Check for emergency lockers, and get a slipsuit out for Steel!" "Corporal, we're not gonna find shit until we get out of this hallway", Dar exclaimed, "... and I'm pretty damn sure we're not going to make it out this way......

"Copy that, ma'm." Morrison answered as he reloaded his pulserifle with shaky hands. He gestured a 'follow me' to Vaughuan, and started making his way into the giant room, his eyes scanning left and right, high and low, looking for signs of danger, and also for civilians. Then his eyes glanced over...

On it! Vaughuan! You're with me- swap to your carbine!" Dar didn't even bother to respond at this point... he let the sling catch the flame unit as it fell to his left, and he reached back for his carbine. He quickly followed Morrison into the main room. While he was in no way prepared for what he ...

"Second squad! Listen up!" he roared in his best barracks-voice "we are going to get up to first squad! We're going to support them, and give us fire superiority. I want fire and movement! Standard zipper! Vaughaun! You're with me! Bojan, Pyro! You'll move on my clear!" "On it, Corporal", was all D...

"Second Squad! We're gonna move back a bit. Keep an eye on that floor! Don't let them get up from under you." Dar fired another flame burst, still in suppression fire mode rather than targeting... and began to slowly retreat towards the room behind him. Steps were slow and careful, as falling on hi...

Suddenly Bojan shouted "Multiple contacts...cant't lock in...wait...they're behind us!" A massive wave of white blips was forming behind the two squads. Dar pivoted immediately, and stepped back past Bojan, taking the lead towards what would probably now become their exit. "Bojan! Talk to me goddam...

Dar remained in position, scanning behind and around as Bojan checked the tracker. Though he couldn't see through the door ahead as the second squad was still preparing to enter, the mist was flowing into the hallway from the engine room... so Dar could tell something odd was up... and then the trac...

So Morrison passed it to the "boot" behind him, with the words: "Second squad! I'm shipping the 'tracker down to Bojan! So pass it along!" Dar silently took the tracker in one hand, and without hesitation passed it back down to Bojan. "I'll keep my eyes around us while you're keeping one on this pu...

"Any questions?" Dar had dozens, but at this point he was too focused on taking in the situation to spout any. He'd seen his share of the shit, but this was something entirely new. "Second squad! Look sharp! Check those bulkheads, own your fields of fire! And watch eachother's backs!" "On it, Corpo...

"Ok people, we are moving out. I'm taking the lead. Standard formation, single column. Vaughan- you're on the flamer, you'll buddy up with Bojan, who'll be acting as tail-end charlie." "Got it, Corporal." Dar took the flame unit from Bojan, and slung his rifle. He was familiar with them, but hadn't...

"Vaughan! Get the fuck back in formation! You're on the job now! Time to earn your pay- if it was serious, they would've told us. Copy!?" Dar went rigid at Morrison's brief outburst, but responded calmly. "Copy, Corporal." Still... his eyes betrayed his frustration at being called out first thing i...

"Morrison, second squad will keep this corridor clear. Watch the floor grilles, if you see any movement assume it's hostile. Bojan, you and me to the front. Morrison, you and..." realising she didn't know the names of the other two newcomers, Eileen settled for nodding in their direction, "You thre...
