The Demon Project
Chapter 2: The Assault
Location: Battleship Ender en rout to Fuel Station #456
“Let’s get tactical marines! Get in those dropships! Go go go!”
The marines ran past Commander Sango, running up the ramp of the Lambada Dropship. The commander looked more on edge than usual, he was fidgeting, and that was a bad sign. “Ok marines, a shipload of Kharaa somehow autolanded a cargo ship on this fuel station, they killed all living beings. Intel suggests level 5 infestation.” <i>That was what he was worried about, the marines thought</i>. “The foreword scout team was eliminated, but there is one left. He is our special man, we are coming in to finish the job with him.” The marines looked at each other and looked puzzled. Scout teams were a suicide mission, usually not even one of them survived in a level 5 infestation.
Rin stood in the cargo bay, wondering if he was ever going to be able to get off this station. He could stand up to one or two Onos, but not an entire station full. He sat down on a crate, and pondered. He would be alerted of any Kharaa by his suit, so he didn’t worry about being ambushed. <i>Its been to dam long since I have got to sit down and think</i>. He thought back to the meeting with Commander Sango, and how it changed his life.
Rin wheeled into the dimly lit cargo bay. A light came on, lighting up a desk and a chair. In the chair sat Commander Sango. “Come foreword private” He said. Rin wheeled up the desk, and saluted. “I have a job offer for you, I cannot tell you what it is, or the details. The only thing I can say is that you are one of the select few who can do this job. All you have to do is sign.” He said while shoving a paper with a single line on it towards him. Rin slowly looked down at the paper, got out a pen, and signed. Almost immediately when he wrote out the last letter, he felt a hypo needle go into his neck. He looked up at Sango, who had a smile on his face. Rin passed out.
Rin’s suit indicator beeped. “<i>Hostile alien detected, level 5, incoming north at 10mph</i>” Rin grunted, and stood up. Another beep sounded. “<i>Incoming friendly dropship</i>.” He looked out the cargo bay door. A Lambada shuttle crossed his view, and docked with the side of the station. Marines pored out of the dropship, running strait foreword. They stopped when they saw Rin, a few stumbled and fell, others backed up as quick as possible. A few yelled in terror and ran back to the doors. <i>To be continued. </i>
