Turn 6: The Gateway to Hell
Corporal Henniger was the first to squeeze off rounds as the creature bowled toward them. Two bursts lit up the dim room, and the xenomorph’s flat, bull-like head acted like a target on the range. If it was a target, Henniger got the bullseye, twice. Without even a scream, the alien collapsed, its a...

Re: Self destruct sequence aborted!
"Mother, stop the self destruct sequence!!!"
Whew, that was a close one. I'm glad we are still afloat.

Re: Turn 5: A Gruesome Discovery
Corporal Henniger called out the orders, and his squad did the best they could to spread out and get an unobstructed line of sight on the enemies. It was difficult to do so in the partitioned feedlot, but not impossible. The first gun to open fire was the smartgun of First Squad, halfway across the ...

Turn 5: A Gruesome Discovery
The door slid open and revealed a dim interior. The loud baying of animals poured out, along with a stench that slipped through even the rebreathers. First Squad determined the entrance to be clear of threats, and so they moved in and set up a perimeter inside the doors. First Squad was standing on ...

Re: Turn 4: Sappers Under the Walls
The Devil Dawgs loaded up again in their APC after a rapidly devoured meal of military rations. Staff Sergeant Wesley and a few of his mercs came along to provide additional support and cover their tail. The APC dug deep ruts in the soft soil, but managed to plow its way to the north side of Gnissau...

Re: Turn 4: Sappers Under the Walls
Wesley scratched his head then leaned out of the tent. “Emma, come here a sec!” A middle aged woman entered the tent. Paulson put his question to the farmer and she replied, “Methane, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia. I don’t think it will kill you, but it can cause respiratory illness, and it...

Turn 4: Sappers Under the Walls
Master Sergeant Soles took Paulson and Blake with him to retrieve the APC. They moved anxiously through the darkness to where the vehicle was parked. In daylight it had seemed much closer, but moving through pitch darkness with only a couple of shoulder lamps against a creature that didn’t show up o...

Re: Turn 3: When Least Expected
The milk splashed over the wound, fizzing slightly as it mixed with the acid. Heinrich felt a cold splash of relief but then the heat of the burn increased from the chemical reaction. At least it washed most of the acid off of the exposed hand and wrist, long enough for Quinn to arrive and pour his ...

Re: Turn 3: When Least Expected
Cold terror ran down Private Heinrich's spine as he stared down his death. He fiddled with the door handle in panic and managed to pull it open as the creature prepared to leap. His offhand came up with the pistol, and he stumbled as he backed up. His arm wobbled and one bullet tore a hole in the wa...

Re: Turn 3: When Least Expected
The overhead kitchen light flickered and then came on, revealing the horrifying sight of a hideous alien form crawling through the window. It moved like a giant insect, with swift, jerking motions of its arms and legs. Its shiny black exoskeleton writhed through the window and it dropped to the floo...

Turn 3: When Least Expected
Evening fell before the Lieutenant returned to tell them what they already knew by now. The threat was confirmed to be a return of the xenomorph infestation that had struck the planet 14 years ago. The xenomorphs were believed to have arrived on Zenus Vier as part of a larger incident involving a do...

Re: Turn 2: Disappearances
"Pope, this is Sergeant Soles, I want you to grab me any and all data that you can find on the incident that occurred here before and shortly after the explosion of the Nuke. Pay particular attention to Xenomorphs and anything relating to them. I think we might have us a bug infestation and I need ...
