Barely an hour after the UFOs, the alarm sirens rang again. Some sort of hospital or somesuch was under attack, but at least the aliens waited until 1900 to attack this time.
ZChris13 claimed Dynamitri's rocket launcher. Much to his disappointment, I ordered him to stay behind. It is fairly important for us to not destroy the hospital.
We entered at two separate doors on the west of the hospital.
Nirur Torir: "Squad 2, head towards the east of the building and circle around if you don't see anything. Squads 1 and 3, clear this room between us. Mr. Freeman, -"
Nirur Torir: "...Stand guard there. Squad 3, reinforce him. Please try not to destroy the building."
Nirur Torir: ". . ."
I'd consider sending him through more rigorous training, but I'd hate to ruin such a great soldier.
IT-NET 101-OR: "Enemy spotted. Match found with the xenomorph that neutralized Dynamitri."
Nirur Torir: "Focus on that blue dog thing! Kill it!"
Redshirt 1: "Sure glad we left ZChris13 behind. He'd probably try to pet it. Opening fi-"
Redshirt 3: "Ow. Hey, he's barely even hurt! How come he's barely even hurt?"
Nirur Torir: "Conservation of Ninjutsu. Get out of there to heal yourselves; Mr. Freeman will provide cover fire. Squad 2, get in there. Spartan 117, with me. We'll enter through that window up there."
Bug: "Sir, we've spotted a hyperworm over here. Permission to contain and destroy?"
Nirur Torir: "Granted. Dougan and Crazy Mutant Lady, go reinforce squad 3."
Metal Militia: "They just keep coming. Hey, did that blue guy just ... ?"
Metal Militia: "Yep. Sir, the blue aliens are throwing standard issue smoke grenades at us."
Nirur Torir: "Those useless things we use to keep rats from eating their bodies before we can collect them?"
Metal Militia: "Yes sir."
Nirur Torir: "Huh. I'd always thought that aliens would have superior intelligence. Hey, where did all the debries by you come from?"
Metal Militia: "Freeman. He sniped a multiworm with his autocannon from the other side of the building. It was a beautiful shot, sir."
I'm still deciding what I'm going to do with him.
Nirur Torir: "Assault squad entering the room."
Nirur Torir: "Looks clear so far."
Spartan 117: "Is that Mr. Freeman, getting attacked by a brainsucker?"
Nirur Torir: "Bah, shoot it. Mr. Freeman, you were told to stay behind, yet here you are trying to play hero. Without backup, you have nobody to shoot brainsuckers off of your head."
I talk fast. I trained up to be an auctioneer before taking a job at Megapol.
Nirur Torir: "Very fancy. Come along, we're clearing the building."
Metal Militia: "I think the multiworms and hyperworms have stopped coming. There are at least two of the blue ones hiding inside."
Nirur Torir: "Entering the room above the stairs, check your fire."
Mr. Freeman really should lighten his load. He moves almost as slowly as Dynamitri did.
Spartan 117: "Throw down your weapons and we'll show you leniency.?"
Nirur Torir: "I don't think they understand English."
Spartan 117: "Doubtful, but he looks ready to surrender. Or run."
Spartan 117: "They always try to run."
Nirur Torir: "He looks like he's out of brainsucker pods. Stand down; I'll stun him."
I stunned it, but then, a flash or brown. A brainsucker nearly jumped on me, but a lifetime of honing my reactions came in handy. I don't even remember it, but apparently I broke open a stun grenade.
The quantum physicists are only 2% done their research on how to use the alien gun. It's a gun! You point it and pull the trigger! How hard can it be?
