<div class="IPBDescription">Read and Review</div> Tell me what you think, this starts as the second section. It's a lot easier to do the second then the first.
Epilogue:
David looked around him. These were Marines, not the ordinary guy on the street anymore. He remembered the first days, the slaughter on Ariadne IV and the debacle on the Eclipse. Now they knew better, their vision had improved, they could and would kill without any remorse and they expected the same. The smoking armoured car he had sat in 10 minutes ago with his friends was a melting wreck, the effect of a Fade ambush. The medics quietly laid a cloth on top of a body beyond recognition.
He thought about Earth and the red desert of Mars where he had been two years ago. Half of the people he had joined up with had died and only a third of those had their bodies been recovered. He hated the Kharaa for what they had done, they had killed innocents and wished he could just say a word and they would disappear.
Still, he knew it would go on. Humans and Kharaa would not gain friendship, too much blood had been spilt and the families grieved and angered, no, it would not end soon.

Comments
Too short though, try to write longer next time.
<i>CLACK CLACK</i>
The scent was stronger now, it had done this before.
The Hive Mother called for him and he would make the Hive proud.
A barely noticeable Skulk had attached itself over a doorway, if he had been one of those Hrazky he would be dead right now. The stupid Hrazky fighting the great clans of the Kharaa with their strength, adaptability and stealth.
The claws scraped along the wall in frustration as it remembered:
<i>Explosions, screaming, chattering.The metal bending under the power of an eternal flame, a flamethrower. Hrazky running everywhere. That day he had been forced to hide before Hrazky and he swore vengeance for his friends lost that Klapw.</i>
Turning to his right he saw Gorges slowly moving the reactor, one of the reasons they were here. The reactor would feed an entire planet of Kharaa and the Hive Mothers were greedy.
Hrazky: Humans
Klapw: Roughly 30 hours
P.s: Keep on reading and reviewing, if u have any ideas private message me.
The researcher walked into the lab, he nodded to one of his colleagues who was opening a vial. "Hey, we got that stuff you wanted, it's really interesting," one of them yelled across the room. The researcher was unsure, but he went across anyway.
"It's a new thing, it's a version of the siege cannon. It doubles the fire rate!" the enthusiastic tech said as the researcher came over. He was showing a video of sonic blasts destroying tin cans covered with the yellowish Kharaa blood.
"Has it been proven?" the researcher asked with doubt in his voice. He has been working on it for a long time, even before the assault on the <i>Intrepid</i>. Then, the lights went out.
Somebody across the room screamed and then the voice went out. The researcher's eyes quickly scanned the room, nothing looked out of place, two red dots, no...
TWO RED DOTS! A blinding pain went through the researcher and he ceased to live.
His subordination a tall, strong Marine had woken him up 10 minutes before during the artificial 'night' of the ship. This had been required to stop Marines going mad and staying up all hours, which had happened often in earlier missions.
"We've lost contact with Research Station C," the subordinate said quickly anxious to be as of much help as possible, "The cameras went 12 minutes ago."
David checked his standard-issue LMG for ammo and barked off a few orders, "Ok, two squads, A+B get ready to enter the place."
The two entered the security room where 15 light armour Marines were waiting. David appraised all of them: some were new, but he noticed many familiar faces from earlier fights. "We're going in there, we have to help those scientists, don't hesitate to fire at anything out of place, got it?" he shouted over the bustle.
That raised a general cheer and the group one by one stood onto the phase gate and disappeared. They ended up in front of a door with Research Station C in big red letters over it. The door had a red light going round it that suddenly went green.
"Guys, get your masks on, that spore stuff hurts," one officer shouted pulling on the transparent mask that would prevent most of the corrosive gas from hurting the body.
Miniscule vents opened up in the door with a hissing sound. Oxygen flowed from the vents, so there was no large spore cloud inside, that was good."Open hatch," David whispered into his microphone, "Let's see what happened."
The viewing hatch slid open, the labatory was a mess. Blood lay everywhere and David's keen eyes noticed Skulks in the shadows and around the lab. "It's a B," David whispered, "Alien attack."
P.s: Da-da dumm!
P.P.s: I think this isn't so good, I'm starting a 'A Shape for Things to Come' topic, much better
