OOC: Well, this RPG seems to be wrapping up nicely, so I feel obligated to not only start a countdown, but also to throw in a boss fight! Yeah!
The bent metal floor under John begins to crack under the wait of the mining vessel and the escape pod. He dodges out of the way just in time, as the ships both fall through the floor and land somewhere below, resulting in a spectacular explosion.
I hope they survived, though I really didn't care for that Rick guy.
"Hey, Walker! You okay?" he shouts. Without warning, the ground beneath John gives way. He lands in a more scientific-looking area. A cryogenic pod is across from him in the small laboratory. A man in a lab coat stands near it.
"Time is near. Time is near..." the man repeats over and over again. "I heard your little announcements, and I have to say, I'm not happy. I'm not going to let this happen." the man blabbers. "Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do?" "This." the crazy scientist replies as he presses a button. The cryogenic pod opens. A beast steps out. With one slash of it's claws, the man's throat is cut. He falls to the ground. The monster turn toward John. He acknowledges this by scrambling up the pile of rubble as quickly as possible.
OOC: My next few posts may bring this RPG to a stunning conclusion unless something huge happens.
