Planet Itakar

[Starcraft78cwal]

The day was like any other day: blisteringly cold, with snow swirling around. Those who had lived in these conditions for many years were used to it by now; outsiders weren't so lucky. Jack surveyed the area with sharp eyes, aided by his unique Ocular Implants which allow him to see amazing distances. A flash of light in the sky caught his attention; he turned his gaze upwards to see a streak of flame fall from the sky, landing in a mountainous region a few miles away. He turned and ran back into the snow-covered base to alert his superiors. This turned out to be a fatal mistake.

This story is about a group of Terrans living in a base in the snow covered terrain of Planet Itakar, and the story kicks off when other Terrans crash land on the planet, carrying an infectious disease. The Snow Terrans rescue the Terrans who crashed, which turns out to be a fatal mistake. The base starts getting infected, and more and more people are succumbing to a deadly disease which warps the body and mind. A few survivors escape from the infected base (that's us), and the story plays out from there.

Appearance: Tall, with a shaved head and dark brown eyes. Likes to joke around, but can be dead serious when he needs to be.

[Starcraft78cwal]

You could put something like...well, something distinct. Something no other Marine has. A custom weapon would work, or he could have abnormal strength, very acute hearing, a certain skill he's good at (blowing stuff up, building things, whatever), laser eyeballs of doom and destruction (OK, maybe not that last one...). Or I could just bonk the whole special category completely if it's that frustrating. =/

[DarkMirror]

I like demolitions, I'm good with that.

Edit: Fixed it. and 1 she isnt in a team lol

[DarkMirror]

Don't we already have a ghost? Also... ah, never mind. You wouldn't accept anything I have to say anyways. Welcome aboard.
EDIT: Wait... your sniper rifle doesn't exist, and ghosts never work in teams if they can help it, because of telepathic feedback. Ha.

[Rifleman223]

i can change it if you want. lol

[DarkMirror]

Probably a good idea.

[Rifleman223]

I looked at Starcraft ghost weapons list my bad..

[DarkMirror]

Please edit that post with your new sheet, so we don't clutter this page. Anyways, yeah. Mind if I make an introductory post, Starcraft?
EDIT: Also, I was under the impression that everyone in this RP had teamed up.

[Starcraft78cwal]

We escape together, so it's essentially a team. The story unfolds from there. I'll start the RP now.

Jack tore down the narrow corridor, narrowly avoiding the many people going about their business. He slid to a halt in front of the commander's door, and banged on the door. It swung upon in his face, and he tumbled in.

"Commander Niezin, we have an emergency situation. Outsiders have entered the atmosphere. They crash landed in the mountains," Jack said breathlessly. Niezin's face went white.
"Outsiders? This is terrible...we will have to accept them into our base though, lest they freeze to death. I'll send out a search team immediately...I'm glad we have you with us, Jack," Niezin finished. Jack gave an awkward nod.
"Thank you, sir," he said, and he stepped out of the commander's office.

-- One Day Later --

The survivors from the crash had been rescued, and were now recovering in the medical ward. Jack sighed in relief. It could have been a lot worse. He headed to his bunk to get some well deserved rest.

Waking up to blaring alarms in the early morning is not pleasant, so Jack was not terribly happy to be so rudely awakened by them. He tumbled out of bed and quickly got his gear on, then rushed out the door. As he ran to the exit, he noticed many of the people from the medical ward running around frantically, yelling at each other, waving around medical reports and just generally panicking. He wondered if the outsiders had shot a medical officer. Jack made it outside and gathered with the rest of the base, who were looking up at Niezin. He didn't look too well. Jack wondered what this was all about.

[DarkMirror]

Now, both of you, don't forget that all Ghosts are telepathic... Main reason they work alone is feedback.

Thomas was unaware of the commotion, for the most part. He was, in fact, the only one manning one of the Bunkers in the base. He had been told to keep a lookout on the area, since there might be more people coming down for the ship.

However, the security systems pinged while he was napping, and he was instantly awake, checking over his equipment.

"Whats going on?" he yelled gruffly, moving to the security console in his hulking power suit and flicking through the reports. The computer quickly chimed, "A commotion has begun in the medical wing of the Itikar main Academy. Exact situation unknown, but the Terran crash survivors are involved."

Thomas grunted, picking up his 'Impaler' and loading in a new clip. He grabbed his equipment, strapped it on, and then headed back to the console. "Orders?"

"All forces are to remain on standby until further notice."

"Great... Just what I need. No sleep. Well, whatever. I'm sure the rest of Academy Security can deal with it..."

[Rifleman223]

Sarah lie awake in her quarters. She wasn't a good sleeper anyways, nightmares would always come and go.

Sarah thought for a minute, she never slept, things were going threw her head like nothing. Memories and thoughts of others. She awoke to the alarms blasting, she grabbed her rifle and loaded it, she walked out and started to think, then she started to sprint.

She ran through the Barracks towards the Armory to grab some ammo. Sarah tore through the Mess Hall making such a racket and entered the Armory. She ran up to the Weapons locker and grabbed Armor Piercing and HE sniper rounds. She cut through the Armory to the southern Bunker and exited. She ran towards the north bunker where Jack was going.

Sarah sent a message to Jack to figure out what's been going on. " Jack, this is Sarah, whats the situation. " Jack knew Sarah was a ghost and they both have been using telepathic messaging for a while.

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack grimaced as the telepathic message hit his brain.
"Jack, this is Sarah, what's the situation?" Sarah's voice echoed through his head. Jack was heading towards the bunkers to alert the Marines there of the situation. Niezin's announcement was still drifting around his head, sending shivers down his spine.
"Sarah, Niezin said the outsiders are infected. The disease spread through the medical ward, and it's on lock down," Jack sent into her mind. He closed off the telepathic connection as he approached the bunkers.

There seemed to be no one here except for one guard, who appeared to be sleeping. Jack sighed. He went right up to the bunker and looked in through one of the slits that the Marines used to fire through. "HEY! WAKE UP!" Jack yelled. The Marine jolted awake, and fired off shots from his gun, which narrowly missed Jack. He grimaced.
"Eh, sorry about that...name's Thomas, by the way," the Marine said.
"Mine's Jack. Look, Thomas, the commander said--" he was cut off suddenly as he heard a high pitched screeching. He turned to look, and saw Niezin bounding towards him. Except it wasn't exactly Niezin. His flesh was morphed, and he had large, sickle-like claws sprouting from his hands.
"What the--" Jack stared in amazement. Suddenly, he was tugged into the bunker, just as Niezin leaped and clawed at the spot where he had just been standing.
"Have to think fast, buddy," Thomas said grimly, picking up his gun.
"What the hell is going on?" Jack muttered to himself as he picked up his own gun, and aimed it at his former commander.

[Rifleman223]

Sarah decided to set up her sniper rifle in a good sniping position, on the tower to the North East side of the bunker and climbed up the ladder to the guard tower.

" Jack, this is Sarah locate a target for me. "

She looked through her infrared scope and switched to incendiary rounds. She took a deep breath and held it. She awaited for a target.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas had, after much consideration of the pros and cons of such an act, dozed off again. When he was awakened by the Ghost, he had panicked. But when that... thing, when it came bounding after them, he had let his training kick in.

Short step, open door, grab freakboy, pull him in, close door. Insert witty remark. Return to port, unshutter the protective glass, aim rifle, fire. One burst, two bursts, three bursts. Target wounded, not down.

He aimed again, but pulled back as the thing leaped at the firing port, trying to claw him.

"What the hell is going on? You tell me!" he yelled, returning to the security console while the telepath dealt with the attacker. Security was down near the Academy. Damn.

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack grimaced again as Sarah inserted a message into his brain; it's a very uncomfortable experience to have your brain infiltrated.
"Jack, this is Sarah, locate a target for me," She said, the voice echoing inside his head. Jack fixed his rifle on the creature, spotting it.

Target acquired, fire away, Jack replied mentally. A zipping noise sounded, as if someone was tearing a piece of paper, and the creature fell to the ground, smoke rising from its morphed body. One monster down, but who knows how many left there were? Jack glanced at Thomas.
"Well, what do you think we should do? Stay in here and eat that crappy food they give you when you're stuck in here, or get out and get away?"

[DarkMirror]

Thomas grunted. "Where exactly did you plan for us to go, hmm? Also, who just shot that thing? I'm confused."

[Rifleman223]

Sarah just looked as smoke rose from the barrel of her steaming hot sniper rifle. She marked on her rifle, 1 stroke, to mark a kill. She took off her goggles for a minute and said.

Brains from the dead body splattered all over the wall from the bullets impact. The bullet went straight through his head into the armored walls of the bunker.

She sent a message to Jack.

" Jack, is it clear? "


Sarah sat silently for a new target. She knew that there was going to be more targets.

[Starcraft78cwal]

"Well, we should go stock up on food and supplies, then get out of this place. I don't know how many others have turned into...those things. We might be the only ones left. Sarah shot the creature, by the way. She's a telepath; I painted the target for her, and she shot it down. Good thing, too, did you see the size of the dent that thing made?" Jack gestured to the Bunker's wall, which was pushed inwards. Thomas grunted again.
"I suppose we should get out of here then, hmm?" he said, rolling his eyes. Jack grinned.
"Yeah, we'll head to the supply depot and grab some things. You can go out first," he said. As he was climbing out of the Bunker, he grimaced again as another telepathic message forced its way into his brain. They were becoming increasingly frequent.
Is it clear? He heard Sarah ask.
For now, anyways. Keep your weapon ready, Jack replied, then stepped out of the Bunker.

[Rifleman223]

Sarah sent a message to Jack.

" Jack its the best idea that you move out to a safe distance. I can cover you from up here. Don't worry ill catch up. "

She switched her goggles back on and looked back into the scope.
She thought for a minute and said a witty remark like Thomas.

" Alright, you monsters.. You want some? Come get some. "

[DarkMirror]

Thomas opened the hatch to the bunker, stepping into the snow in his CMC-400 while locking the visor down and fully activating his HUD. Ammo counter, weapon tracking, all of it, easily displayed. "Alright... nearest supply depot is just up there, under the cliff. we should move, fast as we can. I don't want to be caught in the open with something that can dent neosteel plating."

[Starcraft78cwal]

They began sloshing through the snow covered terrain, Jack using his keen eyes to keep a look out for anything suspicious. Suddenly he spotted something coming their way.

"Thomas, another one is coming. I'll take care of it, just watch for any more," Jack said. He took careful aim and fired. The creature flopped backwards, and Jack could make out smoke rising from the corpse of the monster.
"Got it," Jack announced. Thomas was looking at him in confusion.
"How did you see that thing?" He asked, dumbstruck.
"Ah, forgot to mention, I have a unique kind of ocular implants. They help me see incre--" Jack halted, and looked back. There were about 10 mutants coming their way.
"Um...Thomas..." Jack said, fearfully watching the approaching monsters.
"Yea--Oh. Shit." Thomas said, as he whirled around to see what Jack was talking about.
"I can handle this, move back!" Thomas yelled, and he bent down and started working on something in the snow.

[Rifleman223]

Sarah fired quickly as zombies ran straight at the tower.

" I have to give them cover. Long enough time at-least "

The tower started to tip as Zombies mauled the supports. A vehicle came out of no-where crashed into the tower. Sarah flew out and landed on the ground. Fires surrounded the area.

She got up slowly, and noticed zombies started to come towards her. Sarah grabbed her sniper rifle and started to fire rounds at the incoming enemy.

Smoke engulfed the battlefield. Afterwards nothing was saw, but a scream was heard, it echoed through the area.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas took his pack, took out a few charges and a handful of linked detonators, and then began to put them togethor in his massive armored hands. Once he was done, he threw each towards the things, somewhat apart. Then he turned around and ran.

Taking the detonator in hand, he thumbed off the safety and clicked the button just as the things sprinted over the charges.

The ground exploded into mist, water and bodyparts, leaving nothing alive standing.

"Lets move, shall we?"

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack marveled at Thomas' skills with detonations for a moment, then followed him towards the supply depot. He heard a mutant growl behind him, but then right after that familiar paper-ripping sound.
Thanks for covering our backs, Jack sent into Sarah's mind. Oddly enough, there was no response.
"Are there more behind us?" Thomas shouted over his shoulder.
"Yes, but Sarah is shooting them all down," Jack replied, but he still wondered why she didn't answer his telecommunication. The hulking figure of the Supply Depot was coming into view, it's giant fan slowly churning.
"Looks like we made it," Jack commented, as they stepped inside the heated building.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas headed straight for the supply boxes, opening one with a quick combination, and then picking up smaller boxes and putting them into a bag that he took from one of the other shelves. After he was done taking the rations, he headed to the next shelf, taking supplies.

"We're going to need everything we can take. Stock up." He grunted, taking more things like climbing equipment and such. Eventually he put two large bags around his side, securing the strap over his armor. "Come on, hurry up, freakboy."

[Starcraft78cwal]

Thomas was done loading up by the time Jack was grabbing his first item. He was also rather mad that he kept calling him "freakboy". No time to dwell over it now, though. He grabbed the rest of the supplies he would need, and turned around to head for the door. Slowly, he took out his gun. Motioning for Thomas to do the same, he crept behind a large storage container. He peeked out from behind the shelter and his breath almost stopped. There were almost too many to count. He took stock of the surroundings, taking in every possibility. He noticed an explosive canister near the entrance. With any luck...

To anyone outside, it must've looked like fireworks. But there was no one outside except for the mutants. The front of the Supply Depot shot up into the air on a magnificent carpet of flame, debris littering the skies like stars. A plume of smoke rose from the area, wafting up into the air. Jack managed to grin in between all the coughing he was doing from the smoke. He liked explosives, too.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas groaned, then grabbed Jack, running through the flaming debris and leaping a few meters into the snow, which was hissing and steaming. Behind him, the supply depot collapsed in another fireball.

"Moron! Whole thing could have come down on top of us! None of this would be much use then, would it?" He yelled, getting up and trudging off through the nest swatch of dead bodies.

On his HUD, a map of the area came up. "Ok... southwest theres an old outpost, just a barracks and some defenses. We head there, get some more weapons, and try to make it to the Starport in the main base to the south. Deal, freakboy?"

[Rifleman223]

Sarah sent a quick message.

" Jack.. I need assistance.. I' m trying to move to a better location. "

She started to try to sprint. She tripped on a hulk of rock and fell and broke her knee. She got out her pistol and started firing

" I don't know if i can make it much longer, my knee, i think its broken. "

She got up as quick as she could and started to limp quickly.

" I' m almost out of ammo, i can see if i can try to make it to a safe location. I don't think that you would try anything drastic cause of this telepathic feedback. "

She threw her pistol as she ran out of ammo.

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack halted in his tracks, and Thomas looked back at him questioningly.
"Thomas, the rest of our gear will have to wait, we have to rescue Sarah," Jack said, as the telepathic messages went through his brain. Thomas looked at him for a moment, calculating this.
"Fine. Where is she?"

They arrived in time to see Sarah fending off a mutant with her bare hands. She looked pretty battered and beat up. Jack fired a shot into the mutant, and it dropped sizzling. She looked up at Jack and Thomas.
"Oh, thank God."

[Rifleman223]

Sarah looked into Jack's eyes, carefully she tried to get up. She stood on one foot and said.

" Alright, boys which one of you is going to carry me? "

Sarah fell backwards. She thought for a minute.

" It's been a while. Since i have been hurt or injured. Also to see a marine around here. "

She looked at the marine, Thomas after. She smirked.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas shrugged, his massive armored shoulders rolling. "You must not get around much, since were about a dime a dozen. Now, I've got to have my gun free, so freakboy can carry you, freakgirl."

He turned away and began trudging towards the direction of the outpost. Muttering to himself, he swore. "God damned Ghosts."

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack muttered to himself as he struggled to carry Sarah. He was way behind Thomas, who wasn't even slowing down. Jack had almost dropped her as soon as he picked her up, but that was because of her snide comment about Marines that she had telepathed into his head, and he had to stop from falling over with laughter. Thomas had looked at him funny, but then shrugged and carried on walking. Now, not five minutes later, Jack was almost dropping her for another reason altogether.
"Thomas! You can carry her! I'm not made for strength, and I have a weapon, too!" Jack said, glaring at Thomas.
"It builds up your strength," Thomas said without looking back. Jack swore again.

After a bit more walking, Jack heard something growl.
"Thomas!" Jack yelled, glancing around nervously, but unable to turn around because he was carrying Sarah.
"You carry her," Thomas snorted again.
"THOMAS, NOT THAT!" Jack yelled frantically. He realized it was too late. By the time Thomas turned around and pulled out his gun, the mutant would attack. He closed his eyes and braced for the inevitable. He heard a swish, and a creature yelling in pain. He felt a presence behind him, but just as quickly that feeling disappeared. Thomas had turned around at this point.
"Did...did you gut that thing without even touching it?" he asked. Jack turned around and stared at the gaping mess.
"That...that wasn't me..." Jack replied, glancing around.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas grunted, taking a breath. He didn't like this already, and now there was invisible shit going on. That was some bad shit right there, things you cant see. He kept walking. "What kind of Ghost are you, freakboy, that you cant deal with carrying something a little heavy? Honestly. Though I suppose training here was always substandard... Anyways. Don't you have, like, sensors or something?"

[Epyon94]

Name: Tegris Melnikov "Frosty"
Age: 24
Profession: Firebat
Equipment: CMC-660 Heavy Combat Suit (built in Plasma Tanks, and C-140 Epyon Plasma Incinerator Cannons [a.k.a. flamers]), Napalm Rockets with launcher, Stimpacks
Appearance: Even without the Combat Suit Tegis is massive standing just under 7 feet tall, and with the muscle to easily match his stature. His dirty mop of hair is black, and he sports a crudely trimmed beard.
History: Tegris is a Veteran of the Brood Wars, and as a result he earned himself a relaxing post on the ice world of Itakar.
Special: Incinerator Cannons are "twin-linked", in other words there are two barrels for each (four barrels in total), effectively doubles the fire-power (Pun intended)


Tegris walked out from the shadow of one of the buildings, a cigar held tightly in his teeth. The moon shinning off of his visor.
"God this place has gone to hell." He muttered to himself, as he surveyed the scene, and the massive number of mutants that patrolled the streets of the complex. "Well I'd better get moving."
As he turned around he caught sight of some movement, coming from the ally-way, out of the corner of his eye. "Shit." was all that he thought as the mutant charged him. Instinctively Tegris pulled the trigger to his right set of Incinerators.
The Fireball launched outwards towards the charging monster and burned it to a crisp, the momentum stopping it just short of Kegris' position.
"Extra Crispy. Just the way I like them." He laughed before continueing back down the ally-way.

Several minutes later Tegris found himself at the main street running through the complex, at the far end he saw what appeared to be a number of survivors.
"Hey we might actually survive this."He muttered, cigar still held in his teeth, before he started running towards the group.
Then out of nowhere one of the mutants appeared and moved to attack what looked like the less protected members of the group. Realizing that the other member wouldn't be able to respond in time, and that they were out of incinerator range, Tegris looked for something to throw.

[Starcraft78cwal]

This isn't my character, just dropping in a little plot twist.

The figure watched the trio struggle along on the ground. Cloaked in shadow, he was nearly impossible to make out. No one could see him, he was just part of the scenery. Suddenly, one of the Ghosts turned his head and spotted him.
But, that's impossible...no one can see that far...The figure thought. He dismissed it. It didn't matter anyways, they would never find him. He turned around, black cloak swirling around him, and melted into the terrain.

[Epyon94]

Quickly spotting a large rock, Tegris reached down to pick it up, only to drop it as he looked towards the group of refugees.
"What the hell?" He muttered as he saw the mutant fly sideways and land with a puff of snow. "Well that's not something that you see everyday."
Quickly getting a grip on the situation, he once again began running towards the group of refugees.

[Rifleman223]

Sarah sent Jack a quick message through telepathic messaging.

"Since that big lug head over here can't carry me ill give you some rest and limp. Oh, thanks for saving me. "

She blushed a little. She hopped off Jack's arms and started to limp. She laughed a little again.

She turned her head and noticed a fire-bat walking her way. " Hey, boys look over there. " She pointed to the fire-bat. She told her self. " Great just what we need another lug head. " Jack heard the thought.

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack snickered as he heard Sarah's thought.
Great, just what we need, another lug head.
Tell me about it, Jack telepathed. Thomas, on the other hand, seemed pleased.
"Finally, a non-freakboy!" He exclaimed. Jack rolled his eyes. The firebat caught up with the trio.
"Mind if I join you guys? Name's Tegis, but call me Frosty," he said with a rough voice. Jack was about to say what an odd name that was for a Firebat, when he spotted something. Thomas started to reply, but Jack tapped him on the shoulder.
"Sorry for disturbing this happy moment, but..." Jack pointed over the mound of snow in front of them. An army of those mutant creatures were approaching, pounding through the snow, snarling.
"Did we really have this many people in the base?" Thomas muttered rhetorically. Jack pulled out his gun. He glanced sideways at Frosty.
"I hope you brought some heavy weaponry," he said.

[Rifleman223]

Sarah hopped on 1 foot for a little while, only to give Jack a little rest. He looked exhausted anyways. Sarah said.

" Where the hell are we going anyways. "

She looked around for a little while. Sarah was always counting on Jack, he was like a older brother to her. Jack and Sarah have been friends since they were stuck on that base. Sarah has always received comments, most of them were bad which were from marines, thats why she doesn't respect them.

Sarah looked at Jack and asked him where to go. She glared into his eyes, noticing his beauty. She swore quickly as she fell down, because she was not paying attention.

[Epyon94]

Frosty looked down at Jack. "Always do Kiddo." he said before looking back at the approaching horde. "But we're dead if we stay here, we need to find a safer location, where we can force them into a bottleneck or, for lack of a better term, we'll be mutant food."
"Hey You!" he shouted at the limping Ghost who was now lying on her side. "I be thinking that we're gonna have to carry you otherwise your dead." He continued as he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, with about as much grace as a farmer with a sack of potatoes."
Frosty quickly turned around, to find a secure location.
"Hey Thomas, order Omega-5, we're making a fighting retreat to that Command Centre. It's about 300 yards at 7 o-clock. Come on people lets MOVE!" Frosty barked out, as he began backing up to the bunker, and keeping an eye on the mutants.

He's a vet of the Brood Wars, you bet your ass he's gona be bossy.

[DarkMirror]

Thomas groaned, ignoring the Firebat. "Command Center is gonna be full of the damn things. We head to the outpost, and we get the hell out of this base." he said while aiming his Impaler at the hoard that was rapidly approaching, while backpedaling.

Continuing, he aimed his rifle. "This damn base is too crowded! Now, you listen to me! We retreat to the god damned outpost!" He yelled as he fired on the crowd, mowing down a few, pausing, firing off another burst, and continuing to retreat down the street until he reached another Supply Depot. "You coming, or not?"

[Epyon94]

"Ok, Thomas we'll play this your way!" Frosty muttered as he continued to back up, blasting gouts of flame from his right incinerator at the same time. "You hear that kiddo?" He yelled at Jack.
"Hey Darling you nice and comfy?" He asked Sarah, who was still draped over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.

"For your sake I hope that there's something that flies at the outpost, or were all just waisting our time." Frosty yelled back at Thomas, while continuing to fire off bursts of flame into the crowd, incinerating the mutants that dared to follow too closely.

[Rifleman223]

Sarah decided to insert a remark.

" Oh yes, i' m very comfortable. I' m just laying here on your shoulder padded with armor. Thanks for carrying me anyways."

Sarah doesn't trust marines anyways, they have a high death rate since the brood wars. Sarah remembered her father, who was in the brood wars, he died though.

She starred at Jack which was in the back of the group, she admired Jack secretly, and she decided not to tell him since this was a bad time. She laughed a little, making up another joke.

[Starcraft78cwal]

Jack thought Frosty needed to learn how to work with a team. Following behind Thomas, Jack glanced behind at Frosty. He didn't look too happy about us not obeying him, but hey, we weren't about to rush into the Command Center which was most likely crammed tighter than a pack of Ultralisks in a Bunker.
How's the view? Jack sent into Sarah's mind.
Hey, I don't find it funny that I'm dangling like a sack of potatoes from a giant! She replied testily. Suddenly a large explosion rocked the ground, and Jack was thrown off his feet. When he got back up, he saw the others looking at him oddly.
"Why are you all staring me? You guys fell, too," Jack said, self-conscious.
"Erm...no, we didn't..." Thomas replied.
"But...the explosion!" Jack said, starting to panic.
"There was no explosion," Frosty grumbled. Suddenly, the ground erupted in a shower of dirt, like a whirlwind. A salivating mouth appeared, dangerously-sharp teeth gnashing.
"What the---" Jack started. Wasting no time, Frosty torched the thing until it was nothing more than a burning husk of a mutant.
"This is getting worse," Jack groaned.

[Epyon94]

"Alright Boys and Girls, Lets get moving." Frosty muttered to the little group. "Their evolving like the fracking Zerg! Time to change plans, where's the nearest liftoff-able structure? We NEED to get off the ground!" He yelled at Thomas.
He glanced briefly at Jack, before incinerating another of the mutants that had suddenly burst from the ground.
"Kiddo, you get your ass moving, your little GIFT may be more than you know." He shouted at Jack. "So get that ass moving."

After incinerating a few more of the human-mutants, he turned to Thomas.
"Hey, got any smart ideas?" He said as he continued back pedaling.

[Starcraft78cwal]

Thomas shook his head. Jack, however, spoke up.
"Yeah, let's head towards the crash site once we get a better method of transportation than walking," he said, firing a shot into another one of the mutants. They seemed to be getting stronger. "We should head towards the Factory and see if their are any salvageable vehicles."
"Sounds good, kiddo, but just one problem," Frosty said while frying another batch of mutants.
"What's that?" Jack replied, whacking one over the head with the butt of his gun when it got too close to fire at.
"We don't know where it crashed," Frosty intoned, tossing a mutant out of the way.
"Oh, but I do," Jack grinned. "Let's head to the mountains."

Sarah decided to say something finally, she didn't decide to talk out loud, after all who was going to listen to her. These Marines are huge, if she had her sniper rifle she could deal with them easily.
" When we get their you guys can do a quick patch up on my knee and i might be able to find a weapon. "
Sarah thought for a minute and nodded.
" Were going to need all the firepower we need to get off this ice planet of death. "

In no time they were speeding off on Vultures, heading towards the crash site. Frosty found a Siege Tank that he said he could get functioning in a day, but Thomas pointed out that in a day they would be surrounded or already killed by the creatures, so he reluctantly agreed to take a vulture. They cut ragged, zigzagging tracks through the snow, avoiding rocks and otherwise dangerous pointy objects. Jack just hoped the mutants hadn't developed Vulture bodies.

Sarah's knee was in better condition than it was. Sarah found some med-gel and bandages and she fixed it all up. She also found a Canister Rifle and decided to keep it as a weapon.
She sent a message to Jack.
" At-least i can walk now. So how's it going? "

An infested firebat suddenly barreled from the snow slope...

"It's goin' goooood!!!"
