[Spinal_Taper]

The dead lights above you hang silently and ominously as you pass through a wrecked hallway. The dirty, torn up floors you step on sounding far too loud. Luckily for you, your foes are much more audible.
"Freeze."
Or not. Placing your hands in the air, you turn around slowly, your eyes closed. When you open them, you see...

[LordBucket]

When you open them, you see...

A pegsus pony hovering a few feet above the deckplates, wearing terminator armor and pointing a stormbolter.

[Parsely]

You snatch the storm bolter from its hooves and pump an entire clip directly into its face. Er. Yeah.

[Guardian G.I.]

Look around.

[QuakeIV]

Pull your assault rifle from hammerspace and mow them down.

[mainiac]

You see a bunch of pre-teens in laser tag suits.  They pulls their triggers and laugh in glee as your suit lights up.

[Spinal_Taper]

A pony, wielding a storm bolter, and enclosed within an incredibly complex suit of armor stands before you. It slowly lowers the weapon at your face, before you duck to the left, and snatch it from its hooves, while bullets course by, missing you by scant inches. You bring the weapon to bear at its head, and open fire, blowing a hole straight through it and scattering its brain to the wind.

Sighing in relief, you push the corpse off to the left and look through the halls. The entire ship has been deserted in the face of the alien invasion. The walls and floors are covered with bullet holes and scorch marks, as well as blood stains. You can see a T-shaped intersection at the end of the hall.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Go left.
Wait, is the gravity functional?

[LordBucket]

Damned xenos are getting brave if they think they can board an Imperial ship. But we can't let them have it. Proceed to the control room and engage the self destruct mechanism.

[Spinal_Taper]

You shiver a little at the thought of xenos boarding an Imperial ship, then being able to raid the armor stores. That can't happen. It won't happen again. It ends here. You pace down the hall, then halt at the intersection, before starting to take a left. Around the corner, you see another pony xeno, but it's not focused on you. It's crouched over a corpse, but that's all you can tell at this range.

[LordBucket]

Fire 3 rounds into its torso then order it to stop or you'll shoot.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Strike that, reverse it.

[Parsely]

Approach as closely as you can before opening fire. If it notices you before you can get close, open fire immediately. Check out what it was so interested in.

[LordBucket]

Strike that, reverse it.

...what? No, the sequence was totally intentional.

[Spinal_Taper]

You creep up behind the xeno, trying to get a good look at it before you fire. Once close enough, you take a closer look at it. It's mouth is buried in the corpses midsection, devouring the guard. Blood coats its snout, and gore coats the walls around it. Messy eater. It should eat with its mouth closed. You press the stormbolter to your shoulder, and gaze down the iron sights in a well-practiced motion. Still staying dead silent, you fire a burst into its torso, then its throat, strangling its cry for assistance. The wounds begin to pour blood, and you pull out your combat knife, and bring it into the xenos head, ending its harsh braying and flailing.

What now?
