pen...
"Pshh..." pen sighed/whistled as he looked upon the corpses of the dead US rangers.
He slowly checked for traps in the room, finding two and managing to disable one and accidently set off the other which chopped corpse hanging by a rope in half.
Maggots crawled out of the bodie onto the floor, pen didnt bother to kill them, although he did wonder how a fly had gotten into here...
Pen picked up the weapons beside the bodies carefully, checking the clips and making sure the guns worked by taking them apart and inspecting them.
Finding that four of the six had problems with them, he simply dropped them on the floor, leaving them there beside the bodies, and after sorting through the nine clips, he found that 3 were empty, and 2 were for the guns that had problems with.
With this he was now equiped with a pistol with 1 clip of ammo and a machine gun with 3 clips, he then inspected the mutalated body...
Something very sharp and claw like seem to have mutilated the body, the other us rangers seemed to also have claw marks but to a lesser degree, and the hanged soldier seemed to have killed himself...
Looking more closely around the room he saw shells and splotches of blood leading out of room and down the corridor, and a few long bone like structures which looked like it belonged to a claw which did the dammage, although vastly decomposed by now...
"Heh... either a) that thing is now dead or b), i have an infestation problem..." he thought to himself as to not alert anything that may be in the vacinity.
Not bothering to go to the fork in the road where the remains of the bones were till he scouted out the rooms before and the passage way back.
He did so, and he managed to loot quite a powerful flashlight, although low batteries, an extra pistol clip, a fairly long knife which looked like a bastard breed between a sword and a butterfly knife, and last but not least, a pack of smokes and a lighter...
Pen lit one up and started smoking...

"Ooshika... ... ... Ooishika... ... Zanthuso...." spoke the purple alien octopus who was now the size of a cat, the glow also much larger...
It saw phantom and started dragging itself towards him...

"Pshhh, yeah right, just a simple bar owner... more like the 5th wealthiest person in the solar system..." John went over to the side of the building, sitting on the edge with his feet dangling off the side.
He managed to spot the alien, or his glow really, off to one side, and the splatter of where it landed before...[/i]
"holy... freaking tough thing..." john whistled as he turned his attention back to the battleships bombing the harbour....
"Meh..." john muttered at the thought of one of the ships shelling the building where he was on... so far they hadnt managed to reach here, and even then he could just use THAT to get down saftly...
