Who:- Phil, Dean, Keats, Smith, Kara, Rufus, Trisees, Dante, Eric, Seymour
Jay,
Where:- Lower levels.
"COME ON PHIL!" Yelled Jay behind him "WE'VE GOT TO STOP THAT THING BEFORE
IT KILLS ANYONE ELSE!"
Phil was a few metres behind Jay and Dean down the corridor, wheeling a
rather large 'booze cannon' that he'd been developing for just such an
emergency, and what's more once victoy has been secured, it doubles as a
handy celebratory tool, just aim and fire into the waiting mouths of
revellers.
"Look!" said Phil, "you lot aint moving a heavy piece of machinery up the
smegging corridor! I can't move as well as you!"
"Wheres that GELF attitude?" asked Dean
"ITS TUESDAY!" said Phil, wiping swaet from his brow.
"Listen guys" said Jay, "When we find that thing, we kill it, no mercy
right"
"Jay....we kill it, but humanley" said Dean "It's still a living creature,
you of all people appreicaite that normally"
"Yeh...well that thing killed my wife and alot of my friends today, it dont
care that it's widowed people, that its killed peoples friends!"
"Here here" said Phil
"whats more, we kill it before it kills anyone else, theres only a handful
of us left and I'm fu**ed if I'm gonna let it kill my wife, my colleagues
AND my two best friends all in one day!"
"Didnt it kill Jack and Callum already?" Dean asked
"NOT JACK AND CALLUM YOU GIMP! YOU TWO!"
It was at this point something skidded around the corner from one of the
cargo decks. Phil readied the booze cannon, and opened fire.
"Ewwwww....." came a voice "Dad! What the hell are you doing? Is this 'cos I
wouldn't let you get drunk at Mum's birthday party?"
It was Rufus, wheeling a stretcher.
"Whos that?" Jay asked, "Professor Trisees, he's in a bad way but with
everything going on around here I wanted to get him off the ship."
"Good idea" said Phil.
"We're not going anywhere until we've gathered all the survivors." Jay said
"Ruf, you take Larry to the shuttlebay, prep a starbug and wait for us, I'll
fly us out but arm yourself, dont get caught in the same trap everyone else
did"
"He doesn't like being called Larry"
"I know"
"Dad" asked Rufus "Mum...and Amber?"
"We havent heard from them" replied Phil
"Ruf...." he began, when the hatch leading to one of the cargo bays burst
open, long insect claws reaching through grabbing Rufus and Phil by the
waists and slicing them both in two.
"DEAN! GRAB THE CANNON!" yelled Jay, diving for Trisee's stretcher, pulling
him clear.
Dean fired the booze cannon, missing, and hitting Trisees life support
system with a torrent of high-pressure lager, shorting out the electrics.
Something beeped, Trisees stopped breathing.
"Whats happening?!" asked Dean
"I'm not a smegging Doctor!"
"Whats that light mean?!"
"Go?!"
"It's not a smegging traffic light!"
"Well I don't know! like I said I'm not a doctor!"
"Maybe it means the toasties are ready?!"
Jay slapped Dean.
"That was uncalled for" Dean replied.
"HE'S NOT BREATHING!"
"DO SOMETHING!" yelled Dean
"LIKE WHAT?!"
"I DONT F##KING KNOW!!!"
"He has no pulse!"
"HE'S DEAD, LETS GET OUT OF HERE!"
They rounded a corner, Kara and Smith were firing off round after round of
gunfire. Jay and Dean skidded to a halt, having abandoned the now empty
booze cannon. "GET TO THE SHUTTLEBAY!" they both yelled, Kara and Smith
turned toward Jay and Dean, who had not yet seen the oncoming flood of baby
bugs. "What?!" they both asked in unison, just as Hymenoptera claws burst
through thier chests, light bees attached to the ends.
Smith and Kara's images flickered, and vanished.
"KEEP MOVING!!"
"Where to?!" Asked Dean
"I guess people will be heading to the medi-bay!" Jay replied "Lets move!"
They skidded to a halt at the burnt out entrance to the medibay.
"Oh my god, Dean look" Jay said pointing inside.
"Tara and Amber..."
Their bodies were almost unrecognisable, but both pilots knew them well
enough to identify them.
"Guess the Febuggures are togehter at least."
They stepped over the dismembered body of Doctor Keto, stifling a snigger as
they did so and walked around the corner.
"KEATS! DANTE!, ERIC!" Jay said "ARE WE GLAD TO SEE YOU GUYS ALIVE!"
"What about me?!" Asked Seymour
"I know what I said" replied Jay.
"Wheres everyone else?" Dante asked
"Dead.." said Jay "Phil, Rufus, Kara, all gone its just the six of us left."
"Alota and Phil are dead" Dante said "That makes you captain Mr Chrysler"
Jay nodded. "We're gonna set this ship on self destruct and get the hell
outta here, c'mon lets head to the drive room, Dante.."
"Yeah?!"
"Youre my new second in command.."
<tag, lets head to the drive room>
