<i>Night Shade - You inject the needle. The draug seems to be able to move, but doesn't stop you from taking the sample. Quickly mixing a few things into the blood sample, you get a weird results, quite different from anything you've worked with untill now. The structure of the blood is like humans, but all over it strange cells and molecules are flowing, cells and molecules like the ones found in alien blood. They seem to be sort of "taking part" in the blood, working as a part of it, and a major part at that.
Khaim - The guns turn. The sieges spin back and forth, trying to acquire a hostile and stationary target, and failing. The actual turrets quickly acquire targets, firing at the mechs with all they have. The mechs seem taken aback, then raise their weapons without seeming too troubled, and fire. In mere seconds, the turrets are all ripped to shreds, blown apart or melted.
Just as Shade takes the bloodsample, the rest of the draug come running down the corridor from vent entrance. They're carrying quite potent-looking weaponry (stuff like the rocket launcher you saw earlier), and they are moving towards the draug just as the mechs notice. They turn towards the newly arrived draug with their guns, everything seems to freeze in time.</i>
<b>By the way, a thread merge probably won't happen because of the large differences in the ways the games run, the pace of the games and the fact that there's two DMs with different styles. But we'll try to fix the story so that we'll get away from having to keep in touch to update properly.</b>
