This is Scarlet. We encountered the hostile about 20 minutes ago. It exploded up from underground right under our feet. Theyre using burrowing as well as using our tunnel systems. We thought we had it killed off for the last time, but it just kept dragging itself up again. Steel had the nerve to kick it down the tunnel it had popped out of and we havent seen it since. No new info.
Steel: Mother fu*****
It got Zinc
Ash: Its ok, it wasnt your fault. We still dont even know what were up against.
Crimson: Or how many
Violet: Well weve completed our mission havent we?
Scarlet: Shes right, we gotta get our asses out of here.
[Muffled banging]
Ash: [Whispering] Theres more of them
Steel: Crimson, how many more rounds does The Judge have?
Crimson: Two, sir.
Steel: Alright, were gonna have to save those shots. Well use them when absolutely necessary.
[More skittering and banging]
Scarlet: Our rendezvous point is about two clicks from here. Were going to have to get above ground in order to cover any real distance.
Ash: Thatll expose us.
Violet: Its either die in here
or die out there. I personally chose out there.
Scarlet: I chose neither. But we have to get out of here now. Theyre getting closer.
Steel: Ill cover out twelve, Scarlet get our six.
Scarlet: On it. Lets move out.
[Shuffling of feet]
Crimson: Clear left.
Ash: Clear right.
Steel: Theres an opening up ahead. I see sunlight.
Violet: Theres no
Scarlet: Shh! I hear movement.
[Distant snarling]
Steel: Go
go GO!
Crimson: Were almost there come on!
Scarlet: Steel should I leave a frag?… Steel!
Steel: Oh my god
Violet: I tried to tell you
We were right below the Megamall.
Ash: Really? Cause Id really like to know where this Megamall is.
Crimson: Its all around us
Scarlet: Jesus
Crimson: Bodies
everywhere
Steel: Weve all seen dead people before.
Ash: Not this dead
Theyre all charred.
Crimson: Ive never seen one.
Steel: Well then, now youve seen one. Come on, we gotta move. Lets try the back alleys.
[Distant gunfire]
Violet: At least theres still some resistance.
Steel: Lets see here. Were here
the rally point is two blocks down that way, and across the bridge. Looks like we can travel up behind this row of houses all the way to the bridge. Crossing it
I dunno.
[A shell explodes in the distance]
Scarlet: Well figure it out when we get there. Lets move!
Ash: Wait; civilians! Shh!
Unknown 1: Come on we have to go!
Unknown 2: Im telling you its this way, were going the wrong way!
Unknown 1: We have to go towards the military, theyll have things under control.
Unknown 2: By the looks of it, the military are getting decimated. Look at this place! Look at the mall!
Unknown 3: Shh guys, well get discovered!
Ash: I wish we could help those poor bast***s.
Scarlet: You know the rules, no civilian engagement.
Violet: Theyre just so helpless out there.
Unknown 2: Wait I hear something!
Unknown 1: Its coming from- AAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH
[Sounds of screaming and metal tearing through bone]
Steel: [Sighs] Lets go, time is ticking. Nothing we can do for them.
Violet: [Whispering] So long
[Running footsteps and heavy breathing]
Steel: Hold, street.
Ash: Ill test the waters
stay here.
Scarlet: Be careful.
Ash: You know me.
[Running footsteps, then sudden eruption of gunfire]
Ash: SH** Im hit!
Scarlet: COVERING FIRE!
[Rapid gunfire]
Scarlet: Violet, check him!
Ash: Argh!
Violet: Hold still
it just grazed you [Explosion] youre fine!
Crimson: Targets two o clock!
[Gunfire]
Steel: Use your grenade launcher! Take out its [Explosion] legs!
[Explosion followed by a high pitched screech]
Scarlet: Good shot!
Crimson: Eat that mother fu****! Crawl back to your mommy!
Steel: It just wont give in!
Crimson: Its armor is buckling.
Scarlet: Wait, theres heavy bleeding coming from the abdominal area! Aim there!
[Loud barrage of gunfire that dies down. Low moans are heard]
Crimson: You think we killed it?
Scarlet: Id better hope so. Ash ok?
Ash: [pained voice] no
Violet: Hes alright.
Steel: Move up. Slowly.
Crimson: Its not moving.
[Low groan]
[Gunshot]
Crimson: Holy sh**!
Scarlet: Easy
I think its done for. Hold on.
[A squelch and a few moans of digust]
Scarlet: Looks like this is the central nervous system, or the alien equivalent.
Steel: Damn their armor is thick, must be two inches of plating.
Ash: Bast***.
Violet: Ok, so their vitals are in their abdomen, with two inches of solid steel protecting it. But at least we know they actually can be killed.
Steel: Lets move out. The sooner we get to the rally point, the better.
Ash: Hold on
[A sharp squelch is heard]
Ash: Thats for taking Zinc
you worthless piece of sh**.
