I can't believe what I saw....how much time has passed? how long have I been curled up here in a ball? I better go find out what the status of everything is. Last I remember, that thing came out of Peterson's body and Doc was here.
Oh boy, it turns out I missed a lot. I am going to need to do some serious politicking to avoid another demotion. Doc and Krunch are both dead and Lt. is in cryo so he doesn't decline and die. Saggins stepped in and apparantly shot that thing out of the airlock. It must have gotten big really fast for it to have done this to Krunch. I checked with Saggins and he says we should talk to Allen. Three of his guys went by the wayside too. He must be shaken up. He claims that our mission was to retrieve those Hyperdyne employees but why does he keep mentioning weapons. We decide to go the route of full disclosure - we show him Massey's log and he claims that HD knew WY was designing some new weapons but insists the alien thing was completely unknown to him. Turns out another crew of marines and HD people are on their way. Maybe a week or two out of range. We are going to wait here and hope Fruitcup can make it out of this alive.
Seems like there isn't much activity on the planet. Every now and then, it seems like a smaller ship comes up to the atmosphere and scavenges some scrap for their work. I wonder how far away they are from making a larger vessel airworthy.
The vessels arrive a few weeks later. Seems like they have a crew of about four more marines. Two rifleman, a corpsman, engineer. Seems like one of the Rifleman is ready to take control if Fruitcup doesn't make it out. The Corpsman takes him into his care but its going to take a few days before he is ready to be up and around. In the meantime, Saggins and I decided the best thing to do was take these guys aside and let them know the buzzsaw we may be walking into. I don't think anyone should be shocked to know these guys are up to no good. The real surprise though will be more of these aliens. I don't want another group of marines to meet the same end as our two boys. They seem surprised. Not a good sign. I don't trust Allen anymore or any of these Hyperdyne employees.
Looks like fruitcup is going to make it. Some cybernetic parts in place but he looks good considering. I hope he doesn't have much of a memory of what happened. Pretty horrifying if you ask me. Looks like a ship is making its way towards us...or maybe...yea its trajectory seems to take it right for Eyesore's star! What the fuck? we hailed the ship and HD employee, Collin Henry, answered that we shouldn't get in their way! Who or what does he think is going on. We gave him a few more chances but we have no choice but to board.
A few minutes later we are lined up to enter the craft. Fruitcup, me and Saggins are on one boarding vessel and the four newer guys are on the other. I figure Ill get to know them more formally if they make it out alive. All the smoke and debris from these boarding operations always make the first moment or two rather scary. When I can finally see something, looks like there are three Exo guys in here. I tossed a grenade at the pair of them to soften em up. Shooting everywhere. looks like one of them is charging Fruitcup and Saggins for some melee. Id help but ive got to deal with these two guys. I love my flamethrower. Nothing better than the look on someone's face when I light em up. Sounds like the marines are coming in through another door. There goes the first one, dropped by a rifle blast. Meanwhile the corpsman looks like he's trying to revive him. The others are swarming in to help drop these guys. Oh shit, more of em. What does that guy have? Holy shit what kind of weapon is that?
Wow my head is spinning, that hurt so bad. These guys are getting back up. I don't think I can take another hit like that. We have to finish them off after they fall. Thank god, someone took that guy out. Looks like the rifleman is chasing one of them off to the bridge. Oh boy, something happened to the controls because we are headed full speed somewhere fast! Looking around, it seems like we survived another one. Well, most of us did. One guy down. Ill finish these bastards off with the shotgun. Looks like we found an armory and Saggins figures we have about an hour to turn this ship apart. Destination - Eyesore. I don't want to be on board when we get there.
