<span style='color:purple'> "Oh for Christ's sake." *He ducks back around the corner and takes out his pistol, looking around for something that would help him. He decides to try to lure them around the corner. He sticks his hand out around the corner and waves it around.* </span>

<span style='color:orange'>*Valin continues towards the armoury, ignoring what Calawen said. Upon reaching there, breathing heavily, he arrives just in time to see the zombies learn how to shoot.* "Stuart! We have to get out of here, now! Forget about the heavy weapons!" *He proceeds as quickly as he can towards the HEV room, checking if Stuart is following him.*</span>

<span style='color:purple'> "Valin! Good man, I need ya. Listen there's only three of em and were holding all the cards. Were smart, their dumb, were skilled their not. So listen, when the first one comes round the corner, im gonna grab his weapon. You shoot him in the head and the other two will be easy pickings with a rifle. Get ready!" </span>
<span style='color:blue'> "Calawen, never trusting technology too much will get you killed." *Still following, a little more relaxed* "I think I ought to check on Stuart and company." *Takes out radio* "Stuart, Valin, do either of you hear me? I think we are nearing the HEV room, please respond ASAP" </span>
<span style='color:red'>"I never put my faith in just one thing alone." *Carries on walking, pistol sweeping the area in front.* "I'm not a one trick pony you know."</span>
<span style='color:orange'>*Valin stops, shoots a “You’re crazy” look at Stuart, and then gets in position to shoot.* “Yeah, we’re here...got three zombies here – we’ll take them out, get some guns and be right at the HEV room. Secure it and make sure they are in working order.”</span>

The bullets fly everywhere, including a coolant pipe running along the wall. The smell reminds you of a similair and commonly used fluid that is highly flammable.</i>
<span style='color:orange'>*Valin tilts his head to one side, sniffing the vapour and thinking.* “Hey Stuart, is it too risky if we toast them instead of capping them in the head? I think burning is more effective than a bullet or two of lead. Just hope the fire doesn’t get out of control – we’ll need to work fast, so I’ll get as many guns as I can while you distract them with the burning liquid.”</span>

<span style='color:orange'>*Cursing, Valin runs quickly around the zombies, firing a few random shots in their general direction in the hope that it discourages them from returning fire. He then races towards the armoury, shoving his sidearm back in his pocket. Looking and picking up as many weapons and ammunition he can carry, he then runs back towards Stuart and back the way he came.* “Hurry, man, this whole damn place is going to go up!”</span>
Sorry for my absence. I've been having problems at home. I will be moving out soon and may have no internet connection for a while.
<span style='color:red'>*Seeing the smoke and realising the warning signs Calawen stops.* "FIRE!!!" *As the flames lick the mouths of the vents she backs away from the heat.* /Mutter"Why did I choose to wear the leather jacket today?

<span style='color:blue'> "We're stuck between a fire and a hard place" *Looks for either a way through the fire, or a way around* "As far as I can see, we either gotta turn around or run like hell through that fire." </span>
<span style='color:red'>"This isn't good!" *Calawen runs her fingers over the fissure lines, bringing her hand back sharply.* "Only this hot, thin metal wall seperates us from the harsh unbreathable atmosphere on the other side.

<i>Strugling for breath after running a few minutes, you see the armory, or whats left of it.
What horrifies you more is the three zombies beating random objects with a rifle.
One brings a rifle down, and the trigger catches on a loose piece of its clothing. Five shots fly out, and are driven into the wall.
The zombie's eyes widen, as it puts a finger into it, and squeezes the trigger, cackling with joy as the bullets shoot out.
The others take notice, and pick up other guns.
Only now do they notice you, and they appear to be readying themselves to open fire.</i>
