The Colony - A Sci-Fi RP - started

[axle 19]

Marcus jumped down on to the roof before surveying the encroaching darkness. What did you fucking expect, a well lit area? Flicking on the light of his rifle, he scanned the roof briefly before creating his tactical plan. "Ok guys, we'll move down through that door," he said indicating the door to the stairwell. "Rene, you'll take point. I'll be right behind you with Ralph behind me. Sorcha, you'll be our rear guard. Keep your eyes and ears open boys and girl, make no mistake something is out there right now."

"Rodger that", Rene said over his radio. He had deactivated his suits seals, but he stuck to radio, he figured it wouldn?t be prudent to use his suits loud speakers. Holding his Vector in his right hand, he went over to the door to the stairwell and griped the handle firmly with one hand. He waited for the others to stack up.

dan saw the ship land and some soldiers jump out. He imedietly ran towards them and shouted, "Quickly! We need to leave this place!"

Dr. Marina Bodart sprinted down the poorly lit halls of the science facility on the Mars colony, her legs keeping her at a considerable pace as she fumbled to place the pistol she had commandeered from the nearby armory in a holster. She gripped the FN p90 tightly, looking back over her shoulder every few seconds as she made her way to the exit. Someone or something was hunting her down. A group of something's in fact, they had already killed most if not all of her fellow researchers and she was lucky to be alive. Lucky she happened to have some training with weapons and was, frankly, damn good at running. Marina had spent much of her time trapped in her lab, sealed in by the resident soldiers with her fellow researchers 'for their own protection' for several days. The sounds outside were horrific but they managed to override the locks and open the doors, wandering into the halls. Then they struck, ripping the others to shreds behind her as she ran on instinct.

Tears began to steam down her face but wiped them away quickly, Not now... Dr. Bodart burst through the exit and took cover by an overturned car, breathing a little heavily but relatively unharmed. Suddenly she saw lights from above, there was a ship landing on the roof of a nearby building in the dome, most likely another rescue team. I hope they're better equipped than the last one they sent. She thought, carefully making her way to the base of the building and saw someone was shouting something at them though she couldn't see who it was. Marina raised her gun into a ready position and carefully opened the door, looking around before she dared set foot inside.

 

[jad4400]

Rene opened the door to the stairwell, his headlamp cutting through the darkness. Slowly he made his way down the stairwell, gun at the ready. As they made their way down, Rene thought he heard yelling, but figured it was just the wind.

 

[Venom 3135]

Damn it! They can't hear me. I need to get closer...

Dan began to run closer to the landing spot, and hoped that the mysterious attacker would not show up again...

 

[axle 19]

Marcus descended the stairs behind Rene, gun at the ready low position. Either that was screaming or the darkness is having more of an effect then I thought. Perhaps we'll actually find some survivors after all. Steeling himself, he hit the bottom of the stairs. "Let's pick up the pace people."

 

[Venom 3135]

Dan ran towards the entrance of the building. The door was already open and there was someone standing inside. It was one of the scientists. Dan ran inside past the scientist.
He ran towards the stairs and turned.
"Did you see the dropship?" He asked the scientist.

Before he got an answer, he oppened the door at the bottom of the stairs. He was about to shout again, but he though he heard something. A screeching, like the one from the beasts that had attacked him. He decided that it must have been his ears playing tricks on him and ran up the stairs...

 

[jad4400]

Rene was keeping his ears open; he increased the acoustical sensitively of his suits helmet so that he could hear easier. As they reached the next flight of stairs, he heard what sounded like footsteps. Peering over the edge of a safety rail, his light shined down on the next several flights of stairs. Out of the corner of one of his lights, he saw a flash of movement running up the stairs.

"Contact! Contact!" he radioed as he aimed his Vector over the railing, his light trying to find the source of movement.

 

[FancyfulFanta]

When Dr. Bodart saw someone run past her she almost shot the man dead in shock and surprize, letting out an exclamation of her displeasure in no pleasant terms. She saw that he was a soldier, one of the Colonists from the UK and was apparently also heading for the dropship. "Did you see the dropship?" He asked her, finally stopping and turning at the stairwell breifly, "Nope, I just thought there was a rave party going on here. It's kinda hard to miss, mate." Marina said sarcastically at first, "How did you..." The man began sprinting up the stairs at the incoming ship, "You stupid, stupid pommy bastard..." She sighed, dropping her shoulders and rolling her eyes, Running at the trigger happy, heavily armed team of soldiers with a gun. Very smart... The scientist thought and began to follow him up the stairs, running to catch up to Dan before he got shot. She saw flash lights shining from around the corner and figured it was likely them, stopping dead in her tracks. Someone was yelling 'Contact!' presumably to his team mates, she seriously doubted the thing hunting them would care to tell its buddies about it.

Sorry to say that we're all full

 

[Sliverwings]

Madison Paige was no longer human, she had no reason, no thoughts... just the urge to kill and consume. There was little left of what she used to be, her hair all gone, her face deformed, and spouting four spider-like limbs that doubled as impaling weapons. There was blood caked all over her body from her previous kill and a severed arm in her hands.

The bright lights from atop a building not to far got her attention and she was furious when they disappeared inside. She growled and leapt from building to building. She caught the scent of something... something alive, her primal instincts kicked in and she got exited. She began running in the direction of the scent, determined to feed.

 

[FancyfulFanta]

Marina heard something in the distance, it was a sort of thumping or crashing sound like someone was jumping and it was getting closer. It sounded like one of the things that had killed her fellow scientists and everyone else on the Colony, the doctor raised her p90 and turned to look down at the stairwell. She began to back away from it as she held her gaze, watching for any slight movement, ready to shoot as she rounded the corner and a flash light hit her back. Dr. Bodart, realising that there were people behind her, suddenly span around and aimed her gun at them in caution, "Don't shoot!" She exclaimed, eyes wide with fear.

 

[jad4400]

Rene saw a woman in a lab coat standing infront of him with a P90 aimed right at him. Her wide eyed fear suggested that thi was more of a scared reaction than a malicious aiming. still he decided to air on the side of caution.

"Drop your weapon" he said through his suits loud speaker, aiming his Vector right at her head.

 

[axle 19]

Marcus had his gun aimed at the woman's head as Rene made his proclamation, the green laser point settled between her eyes. Keeping his voice as calm as possible, he spoke, "Who are you? Can you tell us what happened here?"

 

[TheSentinel]

Spoiler: Sorry

Couldn't get on until now. Just assume Rodrigo has been following.

The colony was dark. Like, really fucking dark. But, what else to expect? If there weren't problems, they wouldn't be here. The on-suit lights of the crew illuminated little of the surroundings, keeping things very atmospheric. Rodrigo hoped that all the talk of horror movies wouldn't turn out horribly prescient. As they trodded through the building, a figure emerged in the dark, back turned to the crew. The suit lights must have alerted her, as she turned, revealing a woman in a lab coat carrying a sub. Military issue. No way this woman was on Alpha, and Rodrigo doubted that the colonists carried these things in case of emergency. Most of the crew had their weapons trained on her. Rodrigo spoke up, almost simultaneously with the Frenchman and the American, "Where did you get that thing?"

 

[FancyfulFanta]

Dr. Bodart was doing her best to remain calm despite the numerous guns pointed at her, a creature of some no doubt horrifying description casing her and the barrage of words now flung at her. One asked, no ordered, her to drop her weapon which didn't seem wise in such a place but she lowered it and moved her finger off the trigger. "I could say the same thing to you, mate." Marina said, attempting a grin and looking over the group, from their attire she could tell they were another specialist military team sent here but considerably better armed. Now the calm voiced man with a lazer on her head asked her questions that suggested they weren't any better informed than there predecessors, "I'm Dr. Marina Bodart, head of the colony's biological science department. I don't know exactly what's been happening but, unless that bastard Barry put bong water in the ventilator again, I'd say there are a number of..." She searched for an adequate word, now a little calmer, "Uh, creatures that have been hunting down and killing anyone they can find, including me. Hence the boomstick." The scientist indicated her p90, shifting on the spot a little and looking behind her quickly. Marina was getting impatient, this was no time to be standing around waiting for something to eat your head while you discussed where you bought your gun and so answered, with a sarcastic tone, "Oh I just popped down to the local Big W- I nicked it from the armory attached to the science department on the way here you ninny! Now you better point those guns at something else or I might give you a reason to keep them on me..." She threatened in an exasperated manner, adjusting her lab coat.

 

[Venom 3135]

"Quickly! don't shoot us! You need to get out of here! There's something out to get us. it took out the whole of alpha team. i'm the only survivor!" Dan said to the men with the guns. his heart was pounding.

 

[FancyfulFanta]

The other survivor was more terrified than she, Marina figured he must have had worse encounters than she did with the things hunting them. Still, leaving this place seemed the best course of action since she had found no other survivors, the science department looked like a butcher shop, "The pom's got a point, we can't stay here! I heard one of those creatures coming this way so let's cut out the chit chat and haul ass while we still have any discernible backsides left to move!" The scientist urged.
