[HTM]

Set in the year of 4874:

A communications black-out on a major "Deep Spaceship Luxury Transport Class" Cruiser "SGT Joy of Space" caught the Space Government Travelling Department's attention. Three minor deep space repair vessels, escorted by a "Sol Class" Military Cruiser "SGM Lunar", arrived to the SGT Joy of Space, only to find complete darkness on it, and no apparent short-range independent communications availible. Concluded was that the power had gone, the engines completely blacked out. The repair vessels landed safely inside the travelling cruiser, and after the promised four hours, no signal came back to the Lunar. The SGM Lunar then sent six Drop Pods, each with 6 men in. None returned, no signal. Then was thought that the SGM Joy of Space was taken by terrorists, and the Lunar sent in over a dusin Drop Pods away, but already too late. A strange virus, reanimating the dead into mindless killing machines, have taken over the entire cruiser.

Now, you, either a member of the Space Government Military Department or Space Government Travelling Department, or just a traveller, must survive until the SGM Lunar can set up interstellar communications with the two departments and tell them what they could, thus getting reinforcements composed of Space Governments secret military organization.

Will you survive?

Blink. Another blink...
Wide eyes now
Tetra sat up. Eyes scanning the room, she notices there seem to be 4 doorways that seemed to be made of solid steel and all exactly alike. Machines around the room where flashing lights and making ominous whirring sounds. The room itself didn't seem to be more than 35 sq. feet, but she was still drowsy and the room was very distorted to her. Against one door where her weapons, a very oddly shaped laser-saw that seemed to be flaming, and the rifle she had been cleaning before getting knocked out by unseen forces.
Grimacing, Tetra sat up and went to go retrieve her weapons. She shut off the laser saw and slid it into her coat. Then she holstered her rifle and went to the machines to see if there was anything to make off them. They seemed to have read-only instruments on them, in scales Tetra didn't recognize. She then started to the door, but stopped not 2 steps and lifted her foot out of what looked like vomit. She cursed herself for not noticing the pile of yellow goo before, and then decided it would be best to call out instead of barge on through.
' Hello! Is anybody able to hear me ? " she called, but the only thing that answered was a few beeps from the machines. " Very well ," Tetra told herself, " I wouldn't mind a little exploring ". She went to the door, opened it....

"You know, every damn time I get on a cruiser it seems like there's another virus spreading around." Mulligan spoke to a recording device hooked onto his belt, the small object looked like a miniature black walkie-talkie with a light green, projected box signifying recording mode sticking out of where the antenna would. "It's not always a killer zombie virus, but still. I must have gotten the flu like 50 times already."

Mulligan stepped around a corner quickly pointing his E-32 RHC (Rapidity Handgun Custom) into the darkness of seemingly endless connected rooms before him. He couldn't see more than ten feet in front of his face, but he remembered coming in, and there were at least five more identical rooms ahead of him. Cold steel colored metal lined the walls, no texture to it at all, and LED nodes were lined up all across the ceilings even though they weren't in use anymore.

"God, what I wouldn't give for a light node, or even one of those antique flashlights right now."He wasn't sure if anything could here him, but he didn't care at this point. No point in fretting something you don't know is around or not.

"Joy of Space my ass, I'd get more joy out of pancreatic cancer."

"Ugh...I picked the wrong place for a nap." Aaron slid through the room in front of him. "How'd I end up in someone's water supply? I was sure I'd checked the area for..." He took a glance of his surroundings. "Where am I anyway? Let's see I'm inside and...there's a room that way, and a room that way...and another one that way...I don't recognize the architecture at all..."

"Wait," he thought to himself. "I don't think that there are any natural water sources near by...where have I felt like this before..." The sudden realization that he was no longer on the planet suddenly dawned on him.

"I really picked the wrong place for a nap," he said out loud, with a great degree of exasperation."

[HTM]

(Tetra)
As the door opened, two monsters, apparantly passangers, jumped out of a vent, the second one smaller than the other, and they began waving their arms against her, but their speed wasn't actually helping. They didn't care.

(Mulligan)
A small creature the size of an insect closed on Mulligan, it continued, and when behind him, transformed into a monster, and from the looks of it, was a maid.

(Aaron)
Aaron's voice disturbed one of the monster's slumber, but it didn't care about it. It woke up and crawled in the ventilation complex. It got a look on Aaron through a vent, it got excited and smashed the vent, jumping at him. It was a Security guard.

[NiGHTS Noob]

Turning around to face the noise that came up behind him, Mulligan was face to face with what looked like a ... a maid, only a little more monstrous.

"I didn't call a cleaning service. I can take out this trash on my own" Mulligan remarked as he pulled back from from the creature and brought up his handgun.

Unloading three shots at the maid out of shock (9 agility left, 18 damage, 15 shots left), Mulligan leaped back and readied himself for another shot.

The maid was hit all three times. All of them punched straight through the weak flesh. Her torso was split in twain, the muscles not capable to hold both parts together from the holes. The maid died again.

[Aaron the Waterhog]

Aaron heard a the sudden noise of the vent being demolished. "That can't be good..."

He spun around in time to see a stange creature jump at him. He could tell that it wasn't friendly. As quickly as he could he grabbed his sapphire and, transforming it into a hilt with a blade of light protruding from it, he assumed a defensive stance.

"I don't want to hurt you," he said, staring at the creature rapidly moving in his direction. "Hopefully you won't force me to."

[HTM]

The monster jumped towards Aaron, swinging his talons toward him in hopes of getting the pleasure of killing him.

[Green]

Just as Tetra walked in, the vent above her broke under pressure and 2 zombies came tumbling down. She managed to get 1 shot off (8) at the big one out of a primal instinct before it was knocked away and the zombies started beating against her. (-2 vitality)

The larger foe managed to slash at Tetra just before it died, but it missed. The smaller monster hit Tetra (As Green said, -2 Vitality = S8 left) with its arm. It hesitated, tried to regain balance, but left it vulnerable.

[NiGHTS Noob]

"I'm not scared, but my hands are still twitching. Why? Is it anxiety, or am I excited?" Mulligan asked himself as he looked down at his sweating palms.

Mulligan placed his handgun back into its holster and then walked over to look at the maid he had just killed. He wondered why he hadn't heard her until she was right on top of him, she didn't look particularly agile or clever. He began to look over the re-dead corpse to see if he could find any clues as to what these things were capable off.

[Aaron the Waterhog]

"Ugh. Why does it have to do this." Aaron glanced at his agressor. Thinking quickly, he placed his blade in front of him and, as the creature closed the distance, slashed with a force that he hoped would either knock it away or persuade it to stop attacking (4 strength - 1 = 3 strength remaining, 1 damage + 4 = 5 total damage).

[HTM]

The monster attacking Aaron crawled away from it, it wanted to crawl towards the door nearby, fleeing from Aaron.

As the small one staggered, Tetra pulled out her lazer sword and swiped the zombie's decaying neck in a clean swipe, (2+4+1=7). The strike didn't quite make it through, but the burn spot grew and eventually engulfed his entire head successfully killing him.

The slightly more green than before hedgehog went over to retrieve her rifle, and strapped it onto her hip.
" Now I should get going, but I better take the vent, its going to be easier to sneak around up there instead of parading through all these doors. " The only problem was that the vent was unreachable, she needed some sort of step stool. The machines might work, so she drew her lazor sword again, and sliced through the cables running from the back of one of the machines (-1 strength). Pushing it was going to be more than she could handle though, but that wasn't her plan. She opened the door with the most slime on it and called " Fresh Meat! "

[HTM]

Tetras call was heard by one of the monsters, and was almost called towards Tetra, so it transformed into a new shape the size of an insect. As it crawled towards Tetra, a pipe fell down a few feet beside them both. The monster, with the form of an insect, didn't mind the noise, but slowed down to the speed of a snail towards Tetra. Somehow, the insect emitted a green glow.

When the pipe fell, Tetra resisted an impulse to jump back, and when the clattering stopped, she carefully stepped over the pipe, accidentally steeping on some sort off bug. As examining the bug from the sole of her boots would have been awkward so she proceeded to try and wipe the deceased bug off on to the floor, but the minute it made contact it stuck not only itself to the floor, but the boot as well. Try as she might, Tetra couldn't wrestle the boot off the ground, so she took it off and started pulling, but again to no avail.

" Great, these things had cost me a fortune " She complained. " I guess I'll have to take off my other one as not to walk around lop-sided all the time. "
After pulling off the other bot, she wondered what to do next.

[Aaron the Waterhog]

"Phew. I'm glad that it left." Aaron looked in the direction that the creature had fleed. Noting that it would probably not be a good idea to follow, he left through the opposite exit, hoping that no more of those creatures would decide to greet him.

[HTM]

As Tetra squished the insect, another pipe fell down. This time, through the vent. The face of a dead dog could be seen. His blank stare down towards Tetra's boots was almost terrifying. Then, too much pressure on the vent was applied, and it broke. Only the dog's head fell down.

[HTM]

Just as the monster fled, it bumped into another. It screamed, as this newcomer slashed the fleeing in half (5 Strength - 2 Vitality = 0 Vitality left). It then ran away.
