The Life Of An Ordinary Soldier

<div class="IPBDescription">Part III</div> Khrist sneezed a moment a couple grenades clattering on the floor. He didn't have time to pick them up as a larger version of the aliens entered the area. His armour clanked together as it finished locking into place. The large alien easily let fly a projectile of some sort as it blew into a large rain of acid. His armour, being able to take most of it without damage. Letting the grenades loose at the creature with expert aiming they managed to explode right into the face of the creature causing it to crumple into place. Another person came up and said, "Good thing that armour was there eh?"

Khrist nodded being unable to speak to the other through the armour's large amount of protective plates. The other started welding the holes in his armor together and even replaced parts of the weak areas. Khrist nodded before he heard an alarm so loud that he tried covering where his ears would be on the suit.

A female soft voice echoed not only throughout where khrist and the operating marine force was, but on the whole station, <i>"Warning, contaminates spreading to all decks. All non-military personnel evacuate immediatly. Warning, contaminates spreading to all decks. All non-military personnel evacuate immediatly.</i>

The female voice continued the statement over and over through the alarm. "****!" Khrist said in his helmet. Suddenly the man fixing his armor fell in a heap. As quickly as Khrist could he turned and fled. He knew exactly where to hide at the moment as the sound of his commander dying echoed through the comm. Heading to an elevator that works he fired a few pistol shots down the corridor. He pressed the elevator call button and the doors opened to reveal a sick looking bird on the floor. Quickly pulling the trigger over and over he placed the small bullets of ammunition into it's 'head'. He heard over the comm after placing a few commands with the brain inserts that came with the heavy armor.

An ancient song that he had always loved came on, "I'm your turbo lover! Tell me there's no other!" blasted into his ears as the chemical known as adrenaline started moving through him. The hum of the elevator was still drowned out as another song came on, "and the world, the world drags me down. And the world, and the world, and the world, the world drags me down." What was the name of that band? The Cult? He pushed that out of his mind as he saw the elevator doors open.

Stepping quietly outside he moved into a lockdown point. Placing his code into the receptioin pad the female voice echoed throughout the station again, <i>"Attention, Lockdown points activated."</i> Khrist jumped inside and yawned as he told the suit to unfasten the helmet. After the fresh air hit his head he looked at the lockdown point food stockpile. There was enough food to last him till he figured out a plan...


PN: Lemme know if I got the Cult's song wrong.
