(Aren't you fine Glass?)
"Well, I now have two hours of air left. Which might become problematic."
Shoot the thing again, and then look around the landing craft to see if there is any way to patch up my suit.
As Doc drags you back to the shuttle, you fire off a few parting shots at the creature.
[Conventional Weapons: 2]
[?, Dexterity: 8+?]
You miss by at least 20 feet. Wow.
Anyway, once you are inside you help Doc find some repair equipment. You find some tape, some glue, and a blowtorch.
Look around the area; make sure no other hostiles are approaching my teammates. Then, monitor the big hostile, calling out its movements to my teammates who might be a bit too busy to keep a constant eye on it.
[Insight: 6-2]
You don't see nuthin' approaching.
You do, however, see the creature lumbering around towards Darwin, and you yell out so accordingly.
"August needs help! Her faceplate is about to shatter and her oxygen is probably almost out because of all the cracks in it!"
get her back inside the shuttle and try to find a replacement helmet, or at least some way of sealing the cracks in the faceplate!
As August takes some potshots at the beastie, you drag her back to the shuttle.
[Strength: 6+1]
Inside the shuttle, you find a roll of tape, some glue, and a blowtorch.
No. I got slammed with a hunk of cancerous meat that the thing tore off its body and threw at me, and now I'm unconscious with a cracked helmet.
...that's Rautherdir. You're fine.
*looks back*
*facepalms*
Ok. Thanks.
Shoot it again.
[Conventional Weapons: 2+1]
Your shot is ruined by the creature suddenly swinging towards Darwin! How unfortunate.
[-2s ammo]
*Yawn*
"Well, I got the sample and the critter seems rather injured. I'll let the rest of you handle this"
Walk back into the ship and try to find some good place to store this sample. Any good containers around here?
You amble past August and Doc, and deposit the sample within one of the spare cryopods. That settles that.
Don't be next to the creature when it dies. After it dies, reclaim my knife if it's safe.
To your considerable surprise, the creature isn't dead yet! Warned by Juniper, you try to dance away from it as it starts to spew bile everywhere.
[Dexterity: 8]
As you dodge the bile, you notice a significant portion of it is seeping out of the hole in it's neck! The liquid seeps down into the wounds on the monster's chest, where it hisses and steams as the creature writhes in obvious agony. Then, it becomes still.
Well that settles tha...
BOOM!
Chunks of meat and organs explode from the body, splattering you in blood and flesh! As some of the meat rockets towards you, you can't help but notice that it's... glowing. Fortunately, you had moved far enough away to avoid getting caught in the blast.
