Well folks, let’s roll some dice and see what happens in the world of Startport Scum. Will the Xenos kill everyone? Who will Kregar shoot? Will the RMPs make it out? Who knows…….
Forbes brakes hard and the APC comes to a sudden stop. He orders Ellis to break out the heavy weapons and dismount. He gives Whittemore his pistol and exits out the back. Ellis quick follows up carrying the rocket launcher. While Whittemore brings up the rear.
Both Forbes and Ellis barely have time to take in the situation when two of the three Xenos attack. With break neck speed they both race across the ground, straight at the soldiers. Forbes quickly orders a retreat back into the APC when he realises the speed at which these things move. They jump inside and slam the door shut. Forbes wastes no time in jumping in the drivers set and hitting the gas.
As the APC gets some more distance as the third Xeno moves up the tower. With lightening speed it attacks Kregar. It’s snapping inner mouth making contact with Him. Blood pours from a deep gash in his upper arm. Fuelled with adrenaline Kregar barely notices the pain. He twists away and manages to bring up his rail gun and fires. The shot smashes through its skull and the Xenomorph falls dead to the ground. Kregar stabilises himself against the tower and applies a quick blood stem shot to his arm. He looks through his scope of his rifle to see what the APC and other Xenomorphs are doing.
The APC comes to a stop and the RMPs jump out. Yet again, with lightning speed the Xenomorphs attack. Covering the distance between them and the APC in quick order. But the RMPs just have enough time to shoot. Ellis sights in the rocket launcher and fires! The shot falls short and explodes in front and to the right of the fast approaching Xenomorphs……….
………..Forbes, seeing the rocket launcher has failed squeezes the trigger of his assault rifle. Shots bounce off the armoured skull of the lead Xenomorph. This time there was no time to retreat back into the APC.
The lead Xenomorph slams into the group, knocking Forbes off his feet. While the Xenomorph screams triumphantly. The second one attacks Ellis, it swings its tail around hitting Ellis just below the knee. Breaking his lower leg. He screams as he buckels under his own weight and collapses……Whittemore raises his pistol at the closest Xenomorph and fires. The shots find their mark, wounding the creature and preventing it from killing Forbes.
The final bit to be continued….
