The road from the admin building is dark, rainy and doesn't feel right. I know we are headed up to where Doc saw that figure scurrying away but I just hope we aren't going to run into the Eridanus rebels. I was hoping this job would be easier than the last one. There's a mess hall on the left and a habitat on the right but our target is straight ahead - C Habitat. Krunch headed over to check out the damaged hole while Doc kept an eye on the road. I headed over to the motor pool with Silbo and Lt. Fruitcup but the three trucks here are undamaged and the gates out of this colony are closed and secured....
Goddamned ambush! I think someone tossed a frag on top of Doc...I saw him jump and roll out of the damage so I think he's ok. Silbo and Lt. are taking cover by the trucks but I can see Krunch taking fire from inside the building. Some auto fire from down a hallway or something, so I am charging in. Tossed a frag down the hall and Krunch is getting hit hard. Jumping up into the next level to look around. Maybe I can find another way around to blindside these bastards. I pulled Silbo up here now but the rest are ignoring me. I still don't know where Doc is. Screw it...maybe ill get demoted again but I need to leave those guys and find a way around. Silbo opened the door and I opened up both barrels of Big Bertha...took out one target. Silbo rushed down the hall and darted down a side door on the right. I followed him, the body is an AI, fucking white cum pouring everywhere, but he was carrying a semi auto pistol (looked like a raptor) but I don't have time for this. Instead of following Silbo, I kept going to the end of the hallway. Found some frags in a room. I can hear the gunfire continuing downstairs, hopefully I am not too late. Headed down the stairs to the landing, more AI blood and an empty cartridge but it looks like we've taken down the enemy.
More fighting outside by the trucks but by the time I get there, it looks like whatever was trying to get away in those trucks isn't going anywhere but up in flames.
All the rooms in this habitat are numbered and named but none of it matches our guys. They moved pretty much all their furniture to block the doors and windows. They were definitely using this place as a defensive holdout. Looked around the basement found some useful stuff: maglight, crowbar and a PDA with a log - the most recent entry was April 1 - keeps talking about some lab.
headed over to the other Habitat - rooms here match our targets...oh boy this isn't good. Went room to room, located 4 bodies, shot or bludgeoned on the two floors. One of our boys was AI - looks like he was surgically opened up hopefully after he died. In the basement, there are two bodies ... neither one matches Hyperdyne employee list. One is a guy named Anderson, mentioned a few times in the log. Both bodies bludgeoned to death. Just to add to the carnage, a naked dead body in the shower.
This isn't good, gotta find this lab the logs talked about.
