This is Scarlet. We encountered the hostile about 20 minutes ago. It exploded up from underground right under our feet. They’re 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 haven’t seen it since. No new info.

…
Steel: Mother fu*****… It got Zinc…
Ash: It’s ok, it wasn’t your fault. We still don’t even know what we’re up against.
Crimson: Or how many…
Violet: Well we’ve completed our mission haven’t we?
Scarlet: She’s right, we gotta get our asses out of here.
[Muffled banging]
Ash: [Whispering] There’s more of them…
Steel: Crimson, how many more rounds does The Judge have?
Crimson: Two, sir.
Steel: Alright, we’re gonna have to save those shots. We’ll use them when absolutely necessary.
[More skittering and banging]
Scarlet: Our rendezvous point is about two clicks from here. We’re going to have to get above ground in order to cover any real distance.
Ash: That’ll expose us.
Violet: It’s 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. They’re getting closer.
Steel: I’ll cover out twelve, Scarlet get our six.
Scarlet: On it. Let’s move out.
[Shuffling of feet]
Crimson: Clear left.
Ash: Clear right.
Steel: There’s an opening up ahead. I see sunlight.
Violet: There’s no…
Scarlet: Shh! I hear movement.
[Distant snarling]
Steel: Go… go GO!
Crimson: We’re 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 I’d really like to know where this Megamall is.
Crimson: It’s all around us…
Scarlet: Jesus…
Crimson: Bodies… everywhere…
Steel: We’ve all seen dead people before.
Ash: Not this dead… They’re all charred.
Crimson: I’ve never seen one.
Steel: Well then, now you’ve seen one. Come on, we gotta move. Let’s try the back alleys.
[Distant gunfire]
Violet: At least there’s still some resistance.
Steel: Let’s see here. We’re 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: We’ll figure it out when we get there. Let’s move!
Ash: Wait; civilians! Shh!
Unknown 1: Come on we have to go!
Unknown 2: I’m telling you it’s this way, we’re going the wrong way!
Unknown 1: We have to go towards the military, they’ll 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, we’ll get discovered!
Ash: I wish we could help those poor bast***s.
Scarlet: You know the rules, no civilian engagement.
Violet: They’re just so helpless out there.
Unknown 2: Wait I hear something!
Unknown 1: It’s coming from- AAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH
[Sounds of screaming and metal tearing through bone]
Steel: [Sighs] Let’s go, time is ticking. Nothing we can do for them.
Violet: [Whispering] So long…
[Running footsteps and heavy breathing]
Steel: Hold, street.
Ash: I’ll test the waters… stay here.
Scarlet: Be careful.
Ash: You know me.
[Running footsteps, then sudden eruption of gunfire]
Ash: SH** I’m hit!
Scarlet: COVERING FIRE!
[Rapid gunfire]
Scarlet: Violet, check him!
Ash: Argh!
Violet: Hold still… it just grazed you [Explosion] you’re 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 won’t give in!
Crimson: It’s armor is buckling.
Scarlet: Wait, there’s 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: I’d better hope so. Ash ok?
Ash: [pained voice] no…
Violet: He’s alright.
Steel: Move up. Slowly.
Crimson: It’s not moving.
[Low groan]
[Gunshot]
Crimson: Holy sh**!
Scarlet: Easy… I think it’s 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: Let’s move out. The sooner we get to the rally point, the better.
Ash: Hold on…
[A sharp squelch is heard]
Ash: That’s for taking Zinc… you worthless piece of sh**.
