<div class="IPBDescription">A Story From the 11th Marine Squad</div> It been a while sense I wrote a SF story so bare with me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
The alien infestation covered the tunnel as far the eye could see, and even with the strong shoulder lamps most of the tunnel was clouded in darkness leaving a feeling of benign watched. The 11th Marine squad had advanced deeper into the tunnels below the retaken TSA installation to exterminate the last alien invaders, a mission that sergeant Loruen gladly had accepted in the belief it would be a easy mission, but it had turned out to be a cat and mouse hunt and Loruen was unsure?if he and his squad still was the hunters, for the past hours he had lost 5 men and the squad had not scored a singel kill, the morale and the deadly conditions had started to take it toll on the men who started to give voice to the though of returning to the surface.?
Loruen checked ones more how much ammunition he had left, the squad had wasted most of its supplies shooting blindly into the darkness around them and soon they would be out of the valuable ammunition. The scanners picked up life signs ahead and Loruen ordered his squad to advance slowly, suddenly the scanner starting show life signs all around them, behind the wall, in the roof and below the floor. Trooper Gouten disappeared screaming as the metal floor beneath his feet's was torn away, at the Trooper Dortan died with talons impaled in his chest. The survivors started to return fire and scored kills for each bullet, but ironic the squad had to many targets to aim at.
As sudden the attack had started it ended, the aliens retreated into the shadows and left Sergeant Loruen with a skeletal troop, of the 14 men strong squad he started this mission with he had 6 troopers left witch 3 wore deadly wounded. Loruen cursed the names of his commanders, how wrong they been about the scale of this infestation and the lose of his men, he looked out in the darkness trying to hear the sound of advancing aliens but the only thing he heard was the screams and cries from his wounded troopers.
Loruen turned around and ordered his men to retreat to the surface, he would act as a rear guard and buy them some time to get so far away from this place as possible, some of them protested but gave in and left so much spare ammo they could to the sergeant. A while after the troops had departed he heard the sound of claws walking across the floor further down the corridor, Loruen knelt beside a network of pipes and aimed towards the sound. With a roar and shriek of metal the side wall exploded and out bursted a Ono, a creature that most troopers fared and retreat in terror when seen. Loruen emptied his entire clip into the mass body of the Ono but it didn't show any sign of slowing down.
Before the sergeant could do fetch other clip he was knocked out and the world around him went black. Loruen slowly woke up in some kind of fluid that burned his skin and his whole body was in pain, he felt that the surrounding was moving and he froze in terror, he was in the digestive sac of the Ono slow being eaten away. He tried to scream but no sound come over his lips, he knew that he soon would be dead but he would not die alone. His hands griped the belt and ignoring the burning pain he pulled out a small box..
The squad had manage to get back to the surface alive and warned the commanders about the danger lurking below the base, and the defense of the base was raised just in time for the alien attack. Skulks jumped put from vents and tunnels and fades strode forward from the main tunnel delivering their biologic missiles into the marine defend position. But the humans was ready and meet the assault without mayor casualties, but then a Ono appeared rushing towards the defense line and broke up a hole in the line allowing the Kharaa to attack the now unprotected troops. The Ono lowered it's head to struck other blow to the defense line when it suddenly exploded in a shower of blood and limb's, the marines used the confusion amongst the aliens to push them back into the tunnels.
- 6 hours later the installation was destroyed by TSA forced unwilling to sacrifice more troops to the Kharaa, the survivors of
- the 11th marine squad would always remember Sergeant Loruen, who saved countless life's at the cost of his own.
