For a friend or for duty?

The door was halfway closed, and Harris looked back. He saw Callum
Kotchanski running back to pick up his precious cold beer. "Just leave
it!" he shouted.
Harris considered pressing the button again to stop the door from
closing but the sound of something fast coming towards his head made
him duck. A bazookoid blast caused an explosion that could have ripped
his body into several parts.
"They've got bazookoids." Harris said to his men. He looked down at
the rifle he was carrying and wished he'd now brought something more
substantial.
He looked back at the Engineering door, it was almost closed and
Kotchanski was still inside. He had two choices, either leave
Kotchanski inside and let the door seal tightly, or risk the Gelfs
capturing the Wormhole Drive by rescuing Kotchanski.

Who: Chris and CK
When: After the snip
Where: Engingeering
The door continued to close as the Gelfs laid down more and more
fire, blocking off any exit, anywhere. Reluctantly, Chris realised
that their only way of getting out of this situation alive was to go
back through engineering.
He slammed the palm of his hand into the button to stop the door from
closing.
"Callum! Drop the smegging beer! That's an order!" yelled Chris, as
he tossed a pistol to the Chief Engineer.
"Sir, there are more and more of them. We don't know where they're
coming from!" shouted a security officer that was crouching behind a
control panel, before he was hit in the chest by a bazookoid blast
that knocked him back, where he fell into a heap on the floor, and
remained there, blood trickling onto the floor from his lip.
"Shit!", exclaimed Chris, as he realised what had to be done. "Fall
back into main Engineering! Protect the wormhole drive. With your
lives if you have to!".
He rolled under the door, closely followed by the remaining five or
six security officers that had been defending their position.
"Take cover!" said CK and he crouched behind a barrel. Chris opted to
stand on the second floor of engineering behind a control panel. The
remaining security force took up similar positions throughout
engingeering.
Suddenly, two dozen Gelfs rolled under the door, stood up, pointing
their bazookoids at random places throughout engineering. "Surrender!"
In response to this request, Chris shot the lead gelf in the neck,
and he collapsed on the floor. In response to that, twenty three
gelfs trained their weapons on him and shot, as fast as they could.
He quickly moved back behind the control panel. "FIRE!" he yelled.
Immediately, seven guns throughout engineering opened fire on the
gelfs that had entered engineering. Quickly however, the security
force dwindled as tree of the officers remaining were quickly
dispatched by the gelfs.
"Harris to security. Urgent backup needed in main engineering,
pronto!" shouted Chris as he tapped the button that enabled the
microphone. "Shit, I am security!", he muttered as he thought
desperately of who to go to next for help.
"Harris to the brig" he said quietly. No response. "Dante? DANTE!?"
he screamed into the microphone. This was followed by the sounds of
three more security officers screaming as they fell foul to the Gelfs
unnatural ability, and definately unmatched ability, on the Blue
Dwarf, to shoot straight.
"It's going to be one of those days isn't it?" said Chris to himself,
under his breath.
"We're giving you one last chance" said the Gelf commander that was
apparantly second in command. "Surrender, or die!".
Reluctantly, Chris stood up, arms raised, rifle in his right hand,
and walked slowly down the stairs towards the Gelfs.
"Drop it" commanded the nearest Gelt.
Chris dropped his rifle and continued to walk, arms raised. CK
followed suit, throwing the pistol along the floor towards the gelfs,
as he came and stood with Chris, arms raised.
"Last time I'm saving your ass" whispered Chris to CK as they stood,
as the gelfs spread out around engineering, securing the area and
investigating the wormhole drive.
