    <b>Oh come-on, can't you re-attach your leg while being carried along? Besides, it took me 30 seconds or so maybe to record that message, you could've gotten the leg on in that time. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--></b>

    <b>The bomber arrived because you asked it to, and told the frontiersmen that the situation was critical. When he arrived, you told him that you were going to move in and take control (of the situation that was hopeless when he set out, and hadn't changed for the better). Then he lost contact. All he does is to assume you somehow got the crazy idea of taking on something far beyond your scope (as you did), and that you died trying (as you didn't). So he started doing what he came to do.

    Sorry about ending the game here, but I feel I'm unable to come up with decent plots for future parts of the game</b>

    <span style='color:green'>[The leg seems to be bad enough that it takes more than the tools and skills you have present to get it growing and working again, but you manage to attach it well enough that it won't decay and fall apart, so a more skilled doctor will be able to get it back working with some handy surgery.]</span>

    *hears something over the communcations channel and thumbs my headset to play it again*
    "Well...looks like we're not the only people running for it."
    <["Hey! We're pulling out at a rendevous point at this hanger. You can tag along if you want, but hurry up! We probably won't be able to hold the hanger down if you guys crawl all the way there. Just three of us left!"]>
    *flicks the channel off again and proceeds on*
    "500 meters...are you sure there wasn't one closer?"

    "Nothing on the comm's yet, probably too much interfearance from the station itself though, being in the middle of it and all."

    "Ugh, that's just fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if he bombed out the hanger that we are trying to use. The way out day is going, I wouldn't be surprised if a tentacle attacked me out of nowhere while I was looking the other way."
    *keeps on walking down the hall*
    "How much longer anyway? We had to of walked at least 75-150 meters by now. And I don't mean by straight from Point A to B, through the walls like the waypoint system works. I mean how much longer, including any ladders and turns with twists we have to walk."

    <span style='color:purple'>*Listens to Terran and then glances at the full view minimap on his HUD*
    "Hmm... A while, but I doubt we'll run into any more aliens, this place is huge, and none of us are parasited etc, plus we just killed the large majority of their forces, it'll take them a little time to rebuild and to realize we aren't at base anymore. If we're lucky they'll take a few minutes to chew up everything there too."</span>

    <i>300 meters left before you reach the waypoint.

    Ceanjia: "The majority of their forces? Ha, what you just saw was a minor scouting sting. Their real force is much larger."

    Then the nearby speaker starts whistling loudly, a sound that can surely be heard all over this floor.</i>

    "Terran lets MOVE! And Cean, that was never part of the agreement, and I hope you die a painfully slow death, or whatever it is that happens to AIs, deletion, file corruption, whatever."</span>

    <span style='color:green'>[Seems the speaker dies, but there must be more of them integrated into the nano-network, because the sound doesn't stop]</span>

    <i>Ceanjia: "Well, you leaving wasn't part of the agreement either. Won't do to have you leave alive, you know too much"

    You hear a rumble a few corridors behind you. Something is coming, and there's a lot of it.</i>

    *turns around and looks down the corridor*
    "This just ain't bloody fair. We're moving at the speed of the slowest man, no offense, Shade."
    *runs back and takes a position behind Spin and Khaim to cover them from whatever is running over*
    "Hey, you have a strecher or something? Would be an awful lot of help right now. Also, if whatever it is comes running around that corner, I suggest you guys run around and crouch in a side alcove or something. Hope they run past you. I'd also weld up his wound like Boggle would to keep the smell of blood from tipping them off."
    *shoulders Wynona again and walks behind them backwards slowly*
    "I'll see if I can divert them into another corridor or something, away from you guys if I can't kill whatever it is running around. Just try to run the last 300 meters. Positive that if you guys completely carried Khaim, you'd make it <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->."

    <span style='color:red'>[Rumbling grows louder. Suddenly, a huge mass of aliens turn around the corner. Ceanjia was right, the first attack really was just a minor sting compared to this. You can't see the end of it, but from what you can see, their onos count is on the wrong side of ten, and the smaller aliens seem in endless supply.]</span>

    "Ehehe...ehe...heh..."
    [keeps Wynona shouldered tightly and opens fire in wide arcs]
    "Visual contact. Targets reading out to be over 100, probably. Khaim, you guys run your little **** off. I'll see how badly I can impede their progress. I'd want to find a vent or an emergancy access hatch that's really small to keep the Oni from munching you guys."
    *keeps on taking a few steps back between clips and bursts*
    "Oh my goh...screw that. I don't think I've got enough ammo between my rifle and Wynona to take them all out."
    *starts to run in the opposite direction, but turns around to let out a few bursts of cover fire every now and then*
