<snip>
"Wait. I know eactly where we are." said Eric. "There's a medical
storeroom just around the corner. We can get a stretcher from there
to carry Amber to the Medbay."
<end snip>
Seymour jumped out holding his lazer rifle high. "Aha!" He said,
then put it down noticing it was just Eric, Dante, Jack and Johnny.
"Seymour what are you doing? Do you want me to twat you one again?"
Dante said with a belly laugh.
Seymour glared at him. "So what's the plan dudes?".
"We're taking Amber to the Medibay." Jack said, as if by holding a
stretcher it wasn't obvious enough.
"She looks, pretty dead to me." Seymour said callously. "In fact I
think you left half of her brain trailing down the corridor, there's
a big long line of bloo- OW!"
Seymour had been thumped across the face by Dante.
"Have some respect Seymour!"
"So you DO want a piece of me eh Dante? This time, eh, this time
I'll take you down!" They all just ignored him and continued on to
the medibay, which was just around the corner.
Where: Medibay
Who: The same team, plus Dr Keto, the Pink Tree, Cerebrum and Tara
Cleavage
As they entered the medical centre, the strong of medicinal alcohol
was incredibly strong.
Tara was spraying it all around the walls and floor. "What on Earth
are you doing Tara?" Asked Seymour as Keto had a look at Amber.
"Its alcohol, it kills Hymenoptera remember. They won't come near
the stuff. Its working so far, they've kept away from here."
Seymour's face lit up. "Of course! That's the way we can beat them!
Alcohol!"
Suddenly Tara noticed Amber laying on a medical bed on the other
side of the ward.
"My… my baby, what's wrong with her? "
Seymour tried to hold her back. "No Tara, no. you can't help her!"
Tara struggled free and went over to her daughter's side and wept.
"I'm sorry, Amber is dead." Announced Dr Keto. Cerebrum extended his
abilities as psychiatrist to the grieving mother.
"Listen Doc." Said Seymour to Keto. "How much of that medical
alcohol do you have left? We could really use some to kill of these
Hymenoptera."
Keto shook the bottle. "That's the last of it, it's all gone."
Seymour's face sank.
"But there may be hope!" Keto said. "I've been working on this
ointment, a gas that could spread around the ship and intoxicate
them." He showed Seymour a test tube over a bunsen burner.
"Will it work?"
"It needs more work I'm afraid, at the moment all it will do is give
them a nasty cough."
It was at this moment that the lights flickered and dimmed, and
emergency red lighting came on. Tara stopped weeping in shock. There
was the sound of scuffling coming from above.
"Okay… so you sprayed the walls and floor with alcohol, but what
about the ceiling?"
Keto shook his head.
Just them, a Hymenoptera claw broke through the ceiling, and stabbed
Cerebrum with a long sharp claw. It stabbed straight through his
torso and dragged him up into the ceiling where he disappeared from
sight.
Another Hymenoptera reached down, in the commotion, Dr Keto's Bunsen
burner toppled off the bench and hit the floor. The alcohol covered
floor immediately caught alight.
"Crap!" Yelled Keto. Everyone scurried onto tables and medical beds.
Unfortunately this brough them closer to the ceiling, and the
Hymenoptera.
Jack started shooting up into the ceiling, one Hymenoptera fell to
the floor which started burning and spreading the fire even more.
In the corner, the Pink tree wasn't quick enough or agile enough to
climb to a higher place. It's bark skin caught fire immediately and
its foliage burned to a cinder in seconds.
Tara was still cradling her dead daughter when the fire started, and
the fire quickly spread across the room to Amber's bed, where it
started to burn her corpse.
"Noooo! My baby!" Tara shouted, running towards Amber and trying to
move her. The fire spread up her arms and legs and she started to
panic, she ran around the room on fire. Another Hymenoptera dropped
from the ceiling.
Tara tried to climb up onto the desk Seymour was on, but he pushed
her back. "I'm sorry Tara, only room for one hot person up here!"
She collapsed to the floor and continued to burn.
Jack saw what Seymour had done. "Seymour! That was un called for,
you murd- AAARGH!" A Hymenoptera from above stabbed a long claw into
his good eye and picked him up by it. He was thrown across the room
where he collided with Keto's ointment. The ointment splashed into
his wound and started to burn away at his face. He screamed and
collapsed on top of the burning Tara.
Keto, Dante, Eric, Johnny and Seymour looked at each other across
the room. They were all stood on top of things in the room. "We'll
have to make a break for the door!" Shouted Dante, and leaped across
the flames to the exit. He made it and urged the others.
Eric Lustbader joined him, then Seymour. But as Johnny and Keto
jumped, the ceiling started to collapse from the fire and
Hymenoptera damage.
A large pylon landed on top of Johnny. Keto ran over to him. "Its
okay Johnny, I'll get you out!" He started to dig away at the
rubble. He pulled a sheep of metal off his head. "That's it! Johnny?
Johnny?" He slapped his face to keep him awake and Johnny's head
rolled away. It had been severed from his body. Keto was not
squeamish at the most of times bust even this made him jump to his
knees and want to run.
He ran to the door, but another falling pillar fell on top of him,
crushing his leg.
"Come on Keto!" Yelled Dante, as he saw a Hymenoptera drop into the
room and scuttle over the debris towards the doctor. Dante fired a
few shots to warn the alien off.
"Its no good, my leg… its trapped!" Keto said.
"You're a doctor!" Said Seymour. "Amputate!"
Keto realised that this was his only option, and removed the
surgical knife from his pocket. He braced himself and started a neat
cut through his leg.
"Hurry doc!" Shouted Dante.
Keto bit his lip and started hacking at his leg. Blood squirted
everywhere. Seymour gagged at the sight and looked away.
Keto broke free of his leg and tried to hop over the debris. He fell
on his face. Another piece of metal fell from the ceiling and
trapped his arm.
"I'm stuck again!" Keto said.
"Amputate!" Said Seymour.
Keto bit his lip and started hacking away at his arm. He could feel
the flames licking at his good leg, and the Hymenoptera drooling
down his back.
He sliced the arm off and crawled to the door with one leg and one
arm.
"Nearly there doc!" Seymour yelled. He grabbed the disabled doctor
and pulled him out of the room.
"Well that was pointless!" Muttered Keto.
"How so, you survived!" Said Eric with praise.
"Because now I've lost so much bloody I'm going to die anyway!" Keto
said, and feinted.
"Oh smeg." Said Dante.
The Hymenoptera appeared at the doorway. "Time to leave!" Said
Seymour.
Eric, Seymour and Dante ran and left Keto. "So where are we going?"
Asked Eric.
"I think Parrotts." Said Seymour.
"Now is not time for a drink Seymour!" Said Dante.
"No, Alcohol! It kills Hymenoptera. We need to get there!"
