Run away!

Who: Melissa, Mk.8, Emily.
Where: about here, i think.
when: right...... NOW!
Out in the back of one of the landing bays, a group of French had
begun to set up a beach-head.
"Come on, le bleu dwarf will be ours!" caled one of them from behind a
big crate. He held his gun high up in the air, starting a cheer in
the ranks.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hangar, Mk.8 was standing next to
Eily, blasting furiously at the french anding craft.
"don't just stand there!" he almost shouted at the woman, even though
she stood taller than him. "start shooting!"
Emily turned to the hovering blue piece of metal, and resisted the
urge to swear. "i'm a ... doctor, not a fighter!" she screamed,
hiding behind Mk.8 as a few shells ricoche'd off the back wall. it
was at this point that the frenchman held his arm up in the air, above
the level of the box.
"hmm, easy target" Mk.8 thought as a few shells flew from his
bazookoid arm, and tore the hand from it's mountings on the french
arm. Screams ensued, followed by furious cursing.
"Damn you english pig dogs! your mother was a hamster, and your father
smelt of Elderberries!" he called, in an awful french accent. Mk.8
stopped firing for a second.
"what did you say?" he asked, not quite sure what he had heard.
"you filthy animal food trough wiper!" called the french again, almost
in unison.
"ok, thats it!" Mk.8 shouted back, letting loose a volley of bazookoid
shells that tore into the side of their landing craft, making it
virtually impossible for it to carry people again. More french
cursing ensued, followed by a few random gunshots.
"I blow my nose at you stupid thing!"
At this point, Mk.8 was either very scared, or very annoyed. The
circuits that coursed through him weren't able to determine which, as
the french cursing was so erratic, and awful that they couldn't even
determine if they were insults.
The French decided to make a move, most of them leapt from their
hiding place, and started firing at the two, luckily Melissa appeared
at the side of the landing bay, on her way up to the medical section
of the giant ship.
"Hey!" she called to Emily, not sure who she was. "over here!" she
added, as Emily got to her feet, and ran to the door, keeping her
exceedingly high head down as low as she could as she ran for the exit.
Melissa closed the airlock door behind them, and turned to the newcomer.
"Hi, I'd guess you're new onboard, I'm Melissa..." she paused, holding
her hand out, as she decided which surname to go with. "Melissa
FeBuggure." she finished, deciding that it was going to be her name
soon enough, she might as well get used to it.
"Emily Goldman" came her reply, as well as a mutually extended arm,
which Melissa shook.
"You're the new Medi-bay staff?" Melissa asked, smiling. "i suggest
we get out of here, i'll show you up to the Medi-Bay" she added,
walking off quite quickly, thinking her long legs would make it easy
for her to keep up.
