While continuing to fire with her assault rifle, Ling unslings her shotgun and hands it to Griff, an action made easier by the reflex-enhancing drugs coursing through her veins."Prop me up against the wall and gimme a pistol. I'll hold em off as best I can wi' somebody. I ken I'm no in fightin' shape but I'll do what ah can."
The final few xenos coming through the ceiling or emerging out of the rubble are killed by the group's fire. A silence passes over the Engineering deck. It's been a while without gunshots or explosions.While continuing to fire with her assault rifle, Ling unslings her shotgun and hands it to Griff, an action made easier by the reflex-enhancing drugs coursing through her veins.
"Mind the kick," she says tersley, continuing to fire at the xeno. "Brace it against the wall if you have to."
OOC: we correctly set it to jump, right?OOC:
115 minutes to Pitstop collision
30 minutes until Jump to AS23 system
OOC: Yeah all set up correctlyOOC: we correctly set it to jump, right?
“Let’s wait for the others,” Raúl says, “but keep our eyes open for anything that looks, sounds, smells, or feels wrong. Keep your weapon ready.”Raúl and Griff head up the lift first which opens up to a long blue corridor on Level 3. To the right are two large sets of double doors, to the left is a corridor that seems lined with guest rooms and a sign along it indicates a spacewalk attraction and security office at the other end. The lift heads back down to Potter and Ling.
OOC: Just Ling's shotgun basicallyOOC: Not sure what weapons I have left with ammo, I think Ling has lent me her shotgun?
‘Let’s roll,’ I say and move at a jog towards the security office.
The group head along the corridor toward the security office. They pass all the guest rooms, some of the doors are melted a bit. Nothing leaps out at them though or triggers the motion sensors. They reach the point where the corridor meets the other guest room corridor that had collapsed from Potter's rocket."Let's get to the strike sphere as fast as we can. I have a feeling we'll get another surprise or two before we're safe."
I start moving in the direction of the strike sphere with my flamethrower ready and alert as always due to my utter mistrust of everything around me.
I'll give it however long it takes to cool down and then proceed with extreme caution, wariness, mistrust, paranoia, and willingness to kill.Raúl's flames rush into the hatch flowing down the ladder and into the red tinged tunnel beneath. The group hear no screeches and growls or other alien sounds in response.
Is there another way up? Or can we clear the debris? Or use something in the area to enable us to reach the ballroom without the ladder? Or all three?Heading in, Raúl sees no enemies jumping out at him. He quickly reaches the part of the maintenance tunnel system beneath the ballroom by simply retracing their steps from last time.
Unfortunately the ladder leading back up to the ballroom has had debris collapse in on it. Looking around there are burn marks. It seems the satchel charge Griff planted has since gone off.
There doesn't seem to be another way up that Raúl can see here. Back down the tunnel a bit there is a turn to left leading to a part of the maintenance tunnel complex they've never been to before. There might be another ladder in that direction.Is there another way up?
Raúl thinks the debris might be moveable. He can't quite do it on his own.Or can we clear the debris?
There is nothing else in the tunnel system that would seem to help.Or use something in the area to enable us to reach the ballroom without the ladder?
"Okay, let's use our muscle and see if this debris can be moved. I'll cover you. If we can't move it and use the ladder up, we'll try that maintenance tunnel back the other way and see if there's another way up."There doesn't seem to be another way up that Raúl can see here.

Dammit, I think, it looks like Potter's going to punk out on us!I move the debris. Looking nervously over my shoulder, hoping the others don’t notice my nerves.
As Raúl reaches the top of the ladder, just before the ballroom is visible, his flames are greeted with xeno screeches, but they sound weak to him. Nothing like the savage ferocity he has previously encountered."Everyone remember not to get Ling angry when she's on drugs," I say.
Once the ladder is cleared, I'll ascend one-handed with my flamethrower and shoot flames ahead of me before I move. If there's any indication of danger, I'll give it a nice big blast of hellfire and shout a warning to the others below.
I pour on the flames of Hades and cackle. "Die! Die! Die!" When it seems clear I'll go through and check it out, ready to kill any survivors.As Raúl reaches the top of the ladder, just before the ballroom is visible, his flames are greeted with xeno screeches, but they sound weak to him.

As Raúl enters the ballroom he sees there are only two xenos, both badly wounded and pinned under debris. Victims of Griff's satchel charge. He quickly finishes them off with Old Scratch.I pour on the flames of Hades and cackle. "Die! Die! Die!" When it seems clear I'll go through and check it out, ready to kill any survivors.
