    I smile, look at the brainwaster beside me and motion down the stairs.

    Coming?

    To the human next to him, with a mischievous grin on his face Nonn says, "Just keep smiling and you will get what's coming to you."

    To the news people: "Miss Lane, are you ready to go? Come along, no time to loose."

    To the shiver unit: "Seargant, take up position in the front."

    That's going to be fun!

    While the team begins to split into their squads and gear up the shivers do the same, There are 8 shivers in total 4 go with each team (trust me for Vigo's and Ro'weena's sake their going to need some backup support)

    =============================
    Team 1 (down the ramp)
    Ro'weena
    Vigo Vance

    Team 1's NPCs
    (4 shivers)

    Team 2 (down the stairs)
    Eglon
    Tobias
    Nonn

    Team 2's NPC's
    (News Crew)
    (4 Shivers)

    ==============================

    Game Turn 5

    =========
    Team 1
    =========

    As Ro'weena's belch echoes all round, the empty can of slosh bounces nosily down the ramp into the darkness ahead. The claymore in her hand hums nosily for blood, and just for a split second you almost swore your power claymore winked at you. Muttering to yourself angrily you see the shivers looking at you and as you scowl they quickly avert there eyes to anywhere apart from your general direction and move closer to Vigo.

    Vigo starts down the ramp with the shivers close in toe, but notices that the Shivers are quite afraid of the frother, she intimidates them there all fresh faced out of the academy probably never seen a jumped up frother before. This better not effect there combat effectiveness you think to yourself.

    Once down the ramp the darkness of level P2 swallows you, this level of the parking facility is bigger than the last. The parking area seems to be twice the size of the last and you can just about make out the back wall of this parking area in the darkness. The barricade is on ramp leading down into level P3 at the end of this area. However once you reach the bottom of the ramp their appears to be no sign of the can. So far the shivers seem to be keeping their cool as far as raw recruits go their doing it by the book standard 2 X 2 formation. After a sweep of your immediate surrounding area there is still no sign of danger. from your position You can see the ramp at the far end of the parking area that leads to the ramp to P3 and the shiver barricade (though you cant see the barricade yet). there is a strange orange glow coming from level P3 and you can smell something not quite right in the air. the air doesn’t taste right, neither of you can put your finger on it but something doesn’t add up.

    As you finish your patrol of the area you come across the security guards hut on this level. unlike security on the last level this hut is empty, and the power has been cut, there is only darkness inside the windows has been smashed and the guard missing from the hut. You are almost to the ramp when you Round the corner by the lifts from where you are you both can see a parked jeep. Ro'weena spots something beside the jeep and at first glance its a little hard to make out you almost missed it and the rush seems to be hitting your blood stream now. from where Ro'weena is she can see a pair of legs that stretch back behind the jeep you can't see what or who their attached to. One of the legs is twitching violently, shaking and jittering.

    Suddenly from far below you, both of you hear sporadic gunfire, from what you make out its coming from level P3 below you. Its faint but you can hear it. The sounds echoes off the walls faintly so your not such part of P3 it came from. As the sound of gunfire fades Vigo spots a head sticking up from behind the parked jeep. What ever was behind the jeep must have been hunched down behind the bonnet and you couldnt see it. the vaguely human shape lets off a beastly screech and only then can you see in the glow of the emergency lighting its a carrien. its furry mouth is matted with blood, and it appears to be chewing something .... its eating. from where vigo is standing he can just about see underneath the jeep and its is one of the security guards from one of the parking levels either P2 or P3 and he is quite dead im afraid. The carrien hasnt spotted your team yet. Vigo lets a sigh of relief as the shiver squad as young and inexperienced as they are do not freak out at their first live engagement and fall in behind Vigo flanking him on both sides. two are crouched two are not. They appear to be waiting for orders.

    You can either sneak around the carrien and head for the ramp to P3 and the shiver barricade directly or surprise attack this carrien right now. He appears to be alone. The choice is up to you.

    =========
    Team 2
    =========

    From where he is standing Eglon can see Ro'weena blech quite loudly and then toss the empty can of slosh down the ramp and into the darkness. Shotgun in hand you move swiftly and silently as you can (well you are a stormer after all) in the stairwell taking up a covering position to allow the rest of your team enter. Sofar so good.

    Tobias enters right behind Eglon assault rifle out and scanning the darkened corners of the stairwell for any signs of threat which sofar their are none. looking down the stairwell into the darkness you can just about make out the ground and the door to level P3 and as the shivers enter the stairwell the door to level P3 bangs shut below you.

    Nonn enters the stairwell right behind eglon the green shivers are right in front of nonn. At least they'll soak up some damage if we get hit you think. as with the others when you enter the stairwell the only thing you see is the emergency lighting flickering on and off and a few moments ago you herd a door bang beneath you. weather that was something entering the stairwell or exiting the stairwell is anyones guess.

    The team moves slowly down the stairwell for any signs of movement. you reach the bottom of the stairwell to find it empty. The only thing you see down here is the door that leads into area P3 of the facility. You cautiously open the door into level P3 all the lights are off here not even emergency lighting is working. There are many many parked cars strewn everywhere as you exit the stairwell and into the parking level you fan out taking cover behind what ever you can cars, pillars, way off in the distance you can see the glow of firelight. Its at the other end of the level where the shiver barracade is. its only then you realise its not firelight its just plain fire, the barricade is on fire. You strain your ears and eyes desperately trying to find signs of the carriens but you cant seem to find any.
    This does not bode well.

    You inch forward slowly keeping a tight formation from behind you comes a scream. You spin around just in time to see 3 carriens leaping over the bonnet of a car and onto one of the new recruits. "Jesus they move fast" says one of the recruits next to eglon. The recruit being attacked has a carriens jaws locked around his throat and reflexively the recruit’s finger squeezes the trigger on his gun causing a random bust pattern of bullets to fly off into the darkness. A car alarm rings out somewhere in the darkness.

    [comabt round 1]
    the other 2 carriens barrel into the middle of the group. Tobias seems to react to the situation faster snapping his rifle up he takes aim and squeezes off a few rounds of his rifle at The carrien who in total shock hasnt a chance to react screaming in pain it fumbles back and smashes into the side of a parked car as the bullets rip into his mid section. Nonn reacts next bringing up his Assault rifle (im not using ebon abilities unless you want me to mate PM me and tell me if/when you want to use ebon abilities) and fires unfortunately the wounded carrien still has some fight in him and rolls underneath the car as nonn's bullets puncture the car door ripping leather interior asunder. Eglon scans for the other carrien and sees it engaged with the other shivers. the wounded carrien is under the car and doesnt seem to want to come out so eglon decides he's going in. Flexing his huge mussels eglon does the impossible. Gripping the front of the car tightly he heaves with all his might and flips the car up into the air. The car sails into the air and flips into the air as it hits the ground it rolls twice and lands upside down on its roof 10 feet away exposing the wounded carrien grinning like a lunatic the stormer mutters "hello dere" and punches the carrien as hard as he can [CRITICAL HIT]. Eglons mutilator glove certainly lives up to its name as the carriens head explodes covering eglon in gore. The other carrien breaks away from the group of shivers to sink its teeth into the stormer (as it now sees you as a primary threat) the carrien hits and takes a chuck out of your arm its razor sharp teeth lacerating your wrist (take 2 points of damage to your left arm (which will regenerate end of turn 5))


    [combat round 2]
    Nonn seems to be the next quickest to react takes careful aim and the carrien latched onto the stromers arm and fires hitting the carrien in the chest sending the carrien spinning into the air like a rag doll. the 3rd carrien comes tearing into the fray its mouth fresh with blood of the shiver. and hurtles into Tobias slashing and mauling. (take 3 points damage to your chest) the shivers act next and all attack the carrien that nonn shot at. in a combined fire assault they take down the carrien with shots to its head, neck and body. in the end one of the shivers puts a boot through the skull of the still twitching body of the carrien after that it doesnt move. Tobias now engaged in combat with this shiver feels the pain throbbing in his stomach but full of hate and fury now squares off against the only remaining carrien. First tobias puts the carrien off balance with a fake lunge attack and at the last moment swiftly kicks the carrien into the groin, it doubles over in pain. [CRITICAL HIT] The Mutliator glove delivers a massive electrical blow to the head of the carrien rendering it imobile as the still twitching body of the carrien glides across the floor towards eglon. It is stunned for the next combat round. Eglon calmly walks over to the carrien on the ground and squarely puts his boot down on the head of the carrien. with that all too familar squishing sound as the skull of the carrien is crushed the carriens body twitches once more then finally stops

    COMBAT OVER
    ======

    As the sounds of combat fades away in your ears the parking facility becomes deathly quite again. you certinaly made enough of a racket any carriens on this level really well and truly know your here now. you can hear skittering in the darkness and a dull patter of feet. From behind you a voice squeaks out “please tony please please tell me you got that on tape” you cant see anything yet. what you do now is up to you.

    /With hand signals and hushed instructions

    "Stay low. Be quiet. Follow me. Cover each other closely."

    I start to sneak around the carrien, lowering the barrel of my rifle towards it, trying hard not to think about (gorge rising) .... the fur.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    Clutching my chest, I look at Level P3.

    ***Comms Message (click to read)***

    I follow the wall around to the right hugging it and scanning under cars I pass by.

    Ro waits for Vigo Vance to get his kill on and scans the area alert and watchful.
    She signals the shivers to tighten formation on her posistion and waits to see if she will need to mop up the carion or if Vigo has the metal for it.

    Eglon rolls his shoulders, glancing at his arm wound which is already beginning to close itself up.

    "Rite, now we've gotten warmed up," Eglon says, grinning. "Were's da rest of dem?"

    Seeing Tobias begin to advance Eglon follows behind him, keeping his eyes open and his weapons ready.

    To the news crew, with an enraged tone in his voice: "Tony, I take it that you got all that on camera."

    To the other exterminators: "Guys and gal, let't not forget to collect the heads and tails so we get our commision."

    Time to reload...
