    <b>Wouldn't count on that happening Ed. That'd require miracles rather than healing skills now.</b>

    <span style='color:red'>[You see the fade for a split second before it seems to leap out of reality, warping in front of Shade. There it stands beside Shade. The first blow is landed before any of you even think about reacting. It rips at the plating, but does not penetrate, but the second is well underway.]</span>

    <i>Terran gets to the fade immidiately after the first slash, cutting it down with a quick burst of LMG fire. That leaves only a few skulks to be disposed of, which is quickly done with the heavy equipment.

    Gwahir - it seems the mechs are taking orders from 344.</i>

    "Here, you're a better shot than I am any day."
    *Walks over to the Command chair and logs in just long enough to place a waypoint on the elevator, deck controls if there are any, and any other elevators on the floor.*
    "Well, looks like the elevator is still locked, thanks to Cean, looks like we might need to try depressurizing the deck... We'll have to carry shade though, or leave him in the CC, but he'll be defenseless."

    <i>Ceanjia: "Oh boy, I'm sorry. It seems you lost him. That wouldn't mean there was only 4 to go would it? Oh boy, that's not good, because it won't be long before the next wave arrives, and I don't think it'll be as easy as the first one."</i>

    <b>Well, you still have time to run (or try). But as you've been warned, those aliens have evolved far beyond what you have a chance of handling, even without draug and A.I. Also, the reason people have actually started dying is that this thread was dead because people stopped caring. One way to make them start caring is to remind them that their characters are actually in danger. Sorry Ed, you just happened to be fourth on the list when I rolled a 4, then you failed the dodge(speed) roll and missed the toughness roll (none of those scores were high on your character, not much of a chance. Your weapon did awfull damage when it hit though)</b>

    <span style='color:Purple'>*Gets in the comm chair and sets the command chair to loop a message over the public channel*
    {Recording} <["Hey Semi-draug's and 343, This is the marines, we are pulling out now, using the elevator on the floor this is being broadcast from. We left a Command Chair, an Armoury, and Observatory, and a Phase gate if you need it. We have no more res though, and the next Kharaa wave is on the way, so we're pulling out. Be warned, there are a s***load of the Kharaa on this floor"]>
    *Sets the message onto loop once every minute or two, then places a waypoint on the floor's closest hanger before Logging out of the chair and going to help out Shade again*
    "Come on guys, we're getting out **** outa here, we'll probably get a discharge for screwing around so much, but at least we'll be alive... Hey, anyone know if Ed had a loved one we should send Wyonna to?"

    "I don't know...all of his worker buddies died on W.T. Hell I think, and dunno about his family. We should definately make sure Wynona doesn't end up the scrap heap, that's for sure."
    *looks over at the entrance*
    "That message is going to be creepy. But anyway, onward. We don't stand much of a chance sitting on our behinds in this base anyway."
    *walks out to take the point, Wynona shouldered*
    "Ya know, the worst thing is that all these bodies are just going to become space dust. It's a shame we don't have real support. Could of done more then..."
    [proceeds toward the waypoint cautiously, scanning the area periodically]
    "Hehe, we're going to have to ninja it all the way that hanger. I sure hope it is like empty or something close to that. It'd be awfully bad if we had to flush it out first before the dropship could land."

    <b>Lemme get this straight. I'm being carried along to a waypoint by Khaimn, who's following Terran, and I'm still trying to reattach my leg. There's something funny about that, but I can't quite put my finger on it.</b>
