Another Tale Straight From The Frontlines

<div class="IPBDescription">With Da Sarge of course</div> Hello kiddies. Gather around and I shall tell ye all a tale. A tale of a simple man...and man and his shotfun....Anyhoo...ONTO THE STORY!!!

Ok then...This just happened today, but I have crap memory, so I will do the best I can. It was on NS_tanith, and I decided to go aliens. I tell my teammates if we wanna get a good foothold, we are gonna need the transport room, the one with the node. So, I head off there, and I start building, with a skulk or two passing by to give the marines a little scare. I put up a resource tower, and eventually (and I mean a good while too....) I get a good defence up in the room. So, I go skulk and start crawling around, looking for something to rip apart.

I ask if anyone is working on any of the hives, and I get no response. Of course I wasn't to thrilled, so I decided "If you want something done right, do it yourself." So, I head of to the fusion reactor, and when I got enough RPs, up came hive #2. I put the standard 3 D chambers underneath the hive routine (whice EVERYONE should do....maybe I should put that in kharaa stratagey page...) and O chambers all around. I suddenly get a message from the hive mind that structures were under attack. I get people saying that the transport room is under heavy attack, with a siege, and marines blasting away with their HMGs. Well, I rush over there as fast as my newly evolved fade legs could take me. As soon as I reached the room, I heared the tell tale sound of a siege cannon releasing it's rage onto my structures. Fortunately, I had loaded up the room to the max number of D chambers, so I decided to take down that siege.


As I walk down the little hall toward marine spawn, I hit 3 turrets, in front of the door, and they start shootin at me. Well, I duck behind a corner, and let my regen put me back to full health. I rush through the doorway, looking for the damned turret factory. I see it stuck in a corner. I run up to it, and put my back to the corner, and those pesky turrets couldn't touch me since I had the turret factory blockin me. I quickly dispose of the turret factory, then I get some skulks along with me to take down the remaining turrets.

As a team, we decided we needed our third hive. I think it was waste processing (?). So, we gather up a bunch of fades, a lerk, and 2 gorges, and we head of to the third hive. I am not too familiar with the names of the rooms in the map, so I won't even bother. We come up to this door that leads to the hallway that connects to the hive. We head through the door to find a room filled to the brim with turrets. Lerk go crazy with umbra while us fades are pounding away with our acid rockets. We hit as hard as we could, but after a few turrets fell, the marines caught on. There they were with their bulky HA and HMG, kinda chuckling at us. Well, I wasn't ready to back down. A fierce fight ensues. I mean HUGE. This was a high point in my NS career. They were firing like crazy down the hall, yelling at thier comm for ammo and health. We kept pounding away at them with our acid rockets. At one point, one of the fades made a bold move to attack one with his blink attack. He didn't last to long... Well, we were down to 2 fades, and 1 lerk and 1 gorge. We kept fighting, launching acid rockets down the tight hall, knowing the splash would rip em apart slowly. Unfortunately, their mighty technology took the best of us, and beat us back. During this whole fray, another group of marines managed to put up some sieges next to our fusion hive, demolishing it. Now we were stuck with skulks, gorges and lerks (OH MY!). We knew we didn't stand much chance, but we decided to go down fighting.

Now narrowed down to our last hive, we prepared for the onslaught. Out of nowhere, BAM. Siege turret. It starts pounding away at our hive, un relentingly (I think that's how you spell it.) A few skulks rush at em, giving everything they've got, but get plowed down by those behemoths with guns on the other side of the wall.

Well, we lost the round, but we gave em a hell of a run for their money. And the one battle for our third hive was so intense....I could feel it in my bones. Quite a incredible experiance. Well, that'll do it for now kiddies. So long.
