<b>Funny you should mention that Penguin.

<b>Glad to see you guys are still playing. And crab, I am roleplaying, and obviously so, since you incorporated my actions into your post. But I edited it, so you can delete that turret thing. I'll be good now.</b>

<i>The elevator and people in it arrive almost simultaneously with those using the stairs. There aren't any bodies in sight, and the dim red emergency lighting seems to hide how much blood there is around here until Delta's light goes on. On this floor, the "up" button for the elevator seems like it's been pounded in repeatedly.
To the aft, this hallway has a dead end fairly close. Nothing interesting, though there is a fire extinguisher lying on the floor with its case on the wall open. To the forward end of the ship, the hallway eventually splits off at a T-shaped junction. Before you can see what it is, something skitters across the junction going to the left; you're pretty sure that's where the noise is coming from.</i>

I would have thought that the HMG fired 7.62 ammo, like an AK-47, but with a larger clip. Besides, a pair of silver handguns, looks a lot cooler than a green...thing.
