*ACTION* Let the slaugter commence!

David Canazza edged his way slowly around
the corner in the corridor, armed only with a spanner and a roll of sellotape
he knew he’d have no chance of fighting off hordes of maniacal animal-man
hybrids. “Wait for my signal..” he said to his team of engineers
who had fought their way out of engineering when the Jack clones attacked. “NOW!”
he ran as fast as he could, pretty damn fast in fact especially for a man who
recently broke both ankles., and led his team down the corridor, just as group
of Cheetah clones passed the junction at the other end of the corridor he was
looking down. He stopped dead at a sealed bulkhead and got to his knees. “I’ve
got to get this access hatch open so we can get into the air-ducts!” he
said “Someone for the love of god get me a screwdriver!” there was
much commotion, confusion and complaining until eventually, Canazza was handed
a cucumber. “Does this look like a screwdriver?!”
“Sorry guv’” said Chuck,
one of the lower technicians “But no-one’s got one…use this..”
he handed Canazza a small coin. “Great…” he muttered and set
to work using it to unscrew the access hatch.
Noise was heard, a clacking noise and an
animalistic chatter from up the corridor. “Smeg,  they’re
coming!!” Chuck whined “HURRY BOSS HURRY!”
Sure enough, a group of Scorpion-Chrysler’s
rounded the corner.
“Well..well.welll……”
the lead Scorp hissed “Fresh meat…KILL THEM!”
The group charged at Canazza’s team,
who tried to defend themselves using whatever came to hand, hammers, plasma
torches, shoes, Chuck even picked up a fellow crew-member and waved him menacingly.
While this was going on Canazza hurriedly
tried to unscrew the hatch. He looked up for a brief second, and watched as one
of the Scorpion/Jay;s sheared Chuck in two with one it’s powerful claws,
and then speared another engineer through the chest with it’s
venom-filled tail, a third engineer bravely battered the same scorpion with a
fire-extinguisher. The Scorpion reacted in a flash, slicing the extinguisher in
two, filling the corridor with gas. Canazza got the last screw undone, and
shouted “We’re in hurry come on!!”
No response.
He strained to see through the gas, the
noise seemed to have died down, when through the gas the body of the engineer
who had used the extinguisher was smashed against the bulkhead, her body bloody
and battered. The smoke spread, thinning enough for Canazza to see, a few injured
Scorp’s, 25 dead engineers. No survivors.
“THERES ONE MORE!” shouted one
of the clones, “KILL HIM!”
Canazza didn’t waste anytime, he
dived into the vent, and threw himself as far as he could along the ventilation
shaft, narrowly missing being sliced by the claw of one of the clones as it
tried to grab him. He pulled down some of the emergency seals, used for sealing
in the atmosphere in case of decompression, in the hopes of slowing the clones
down, and moved as quickly as he could along the shaft.

 
In the cargo bay’s  the clone’s
of Jay and Jack gathered around a blueprint of the Blue Dwarf set out on a
table. “Status?!” the Jay clone asked, directing his voice at one
of Holly’s com panels “Holly” replied “We’ve got
the on the run” he said “The clones are tearing through the ship
like a knife through butter the crew are beginning to head towards the
promenade”
“patch me through to the comm. lines”
Seconds later Jay’s face appeared on
every monitor around the ship, his voice through every speaker.
“Ladies and Gentleman, your attention
please” Those that weren’t currently fighting for their lives
stopped to listen. “This ship is now under my control” he said “As
you may well have noticed as we speak my army is sweeping through this vessel
killing anyone that resists, so my advice to you….is don’t, if you
surrender to me I might just let you live, if however you choose to defy me you
will die, tonight, the game is over Captain Chrysler” this last sentence was
addressed to Alota “It’s about time you learnt when you were beaten”
He cut off the comm. then turned towards
holly, “Get a message to the clones, herd the crew toward’s the
promenade, if they resist, kill them”
“And if they surrender?”
“Kill them”
