You find yourself, working in a huge compound for a leading organization of scientific study, Black Mesa. The workplace is full of the intelligent minds of those in their respected fields of study, ranging from the simplest sciences, to theories and studies spanning over several generations. Your position leaves you quite exhausted, as what seems to be the normal workday almost comes to a close..

Master Chief
You enter a tram along with 3 other individuals, each inbound for Black Mesa.
As soon as you take a seat, a major pain grows in your head, and everything blacks out for a second. You hear a strange, older voice, hissing to you.
"Time to get to work..."

CHAPTER ONE: BLACK MESA INBOUND
Announcer's Voice: This train is inbound from Level 3 Dormitories to Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. If your intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the central transit hub in Area 9 and board a high-security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high-security branch of the transit system.

"Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the Black Mesa compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking are permitted within the Black Mesa transit system. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please, stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives."
"A reminder: that the Black Mesa Hazard Course decathalon will commence this evening at 1900 hours in the Level 3 facility. The semi-finals for high security personnel will be announced in a separate secure broadcast transmission. Remember: more lives than yours may depend on your fitness.

Master Chief
Master backs onto his seat, drinking his coffee. "Watch out for them Aussies, man!", he exclaims, before the group descends into the lobby.
Caleb Erb
Caleb walks over to the loud, smiling man. "I am new here. Can I get directions to where I am going or do I just follow everyone else?"
Master Chief

The man has little to no reaction to the comment. He straightens his tie, and walks into the checkered hallway.

Elijah shrugs, and turns his attention to other objects in the room.
Master Chief
Master runs down the bridge, looking down at the group. "I heard something, did I miss anything?"

Emily smacks the french man for no reaon.

Elijah feels as if everyone is being stupid for no reason, but the puny hand of the woman doesn't bother him.

Caleb laughs historically. "So random yet so funny.
Master Chief
"I guess I missed nothing. Someone come with me, im going into the office complex."
Master • 12/15/14, 2:14 PM

Master flips the safety switch on and off, getting the hang of it while waiting for someone to perk up.

"Do you know how to use a revolver?"

Elijah Schade
Elijah raises his hand, above the rookie, "No offense, but I'd rather the rookie not. I have a little bit of experience."
Elijah Schade
"Not necessarily in revolvers, but I've used some kind of projectile-firing machien."

Master Chief
Master disappears into the room and comes back out, with a magnum in hand. As he drops it down to Felix, he says, "Exact quotes from our security guard, 'Point three five seven, six rounds. Conserve them, they're powerful.'"
Master Chief
Master disappears into the room again, with another Magnum. He throws it to Chris.
Caleb Erb
Caleb apparently failed to mentions that his brother had taught him everything known to the modern police about guns because he was trained to be a Cop.
Master Chief
"Actually, I recommend we all go as a group. There is no point in separating."
Master • 12/15/14, 2:34 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb catches the gun anyhow despite his not mentioning his level of skill. It doesn't matter anyhow. He definitely does not want to look like a Chest-Buster to his new co-workers
Elijah Schade
"Good idea. In the horror flicks when they split up, everyone dies."

"It'll take some time for Jack to help that other guard. Let's scout the area ahead first."
Master • 12/15/14, 3:25 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb checks the sweet upgrade in his arsenal. He hasn't seen a gun of this makes in years. His memory may be a little shaky on dismantling it and cleaning it but Caleb doesn't think he'll need to clean in for a while. He looks up towards James.
"Yea, I won't be any good in knowing where anything is given it's my first day here. So if you guys lead, i'll get your backs."
12/15/14, 3:54 PM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
Master looks back, turning his Glock off of safety mode. He looks back to the group, and beckons for them to walk forward. He pushes on into the checkered lobby of the Office Complex.
Elijah Schade
Elijah readies his gun, running through the chamber of the gun, examining the details.
Caleb Erb
Caleb removes the safety on the beautiful Magnum. Slowly pulling the lever back, he hears a small click inside knowing he is ready to fire.
Master Chief
As the group pushes on into the office complex, you quickly note the checkered floor and red walls, completely foreign to the plain metallic walls of the laboratories. A puddle along with a "Floor Wet!" sign decorate the middle of the hallway.
The ceiling makes a horrible screeching sound, and a cord with live electricity falls out. It falls straight into the puddle, with a loud electrical explosion, and the lights go off. Only the emergency lights flicker, with a red ambience.
Master • 12/16/14, 8:15 AM
Elijah Schade
"Great. Now if we walk anywhere close to that we'll get shocked."
Elijah • 12/16/14, 8:16 AM
"And we can barely see. This just gets better and better, huh?"
12/16/14, 8:17 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
"There's definitely a way around here."
A green, electrical current appears from behind the group, emitting a loud buzzing noise.

A high pitched bark noise emits from the beast, as it charges down the bridge, into the hall.
Master • 12/16/14, 8:42 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb turns around to see a large monster barreling towards them. He raises his Magnum but hesitates because he doesn't want to waste any bullets.
Master Chief
Master shoots Chris a look, then looks at the beast and fires several .9mm shots.
Elijah Schade
Elijah pulls out his magnum, his hands shaking briefly. He settles his hands before pulling back the trigger on the wretched beast.
Master Chief
The Houndeye goes down and falls face first, infront of the feet of Chris.

Caleb looks up. "Shit. I wasn't sure whether or not to shoot. Thanks man. I just want to conserve so that when we meet a real devil then I don't have to worry about running out of ammo."
Elijah Schade
Elijah sighs, and places his fingers on his temple, "If something is about to eat you, you shoot. This isn't kiddyland."
Master Chief
"Rule of thumb; if its bigger than your gun, shoot."
Master • 12/16/14, 9:00 AM
Master Chief
Master looks to the hallway where the electrical puddle rages. Looking to the side, he witnesses two vent openings.
"Sorry, maybe it was nerves too. I don't know."
12/16/14, 9:02 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
Master steps towards the vent, kicking it. "Anyone volunteer for vent duty?"
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks at his slightly broad shoulders, "I may be able to fit inside."
Master Chief
Master fires 4 bullets at the bolts, having to reload. "You can do the rest."
Master Chief
Master looks over to Felix. He clears his throat, waiting for him to go in.
Elijah Schade
Elijah glances over at his assistant, "Don't get killed while I'm gone."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"You don't have to worry about me."
Adrian • 12/16/14, 1:53 PM
Master Chief
Master leans against the wall, in the darkness. "No time for chit-chat, Felix."
Elijah Schade
Elijah shoves himself through the vent, wiggling a little bit, he struggles to get in at first, but manages to slide through after the sweat manages to make him slide in.
Elijah Schade
Elijah echoes, "If you feel the temperature getting colder, tell me."
Master Chief
Master leans into the vent, cupping his hands over his mouth. He shouts, "If I am correct, you should now make a right!"
Elijah Schade
Elijah slams his head against the roof of the vent, cursing under his breath. "Thanks."
Master Chief
"Was that a beast?!"
Master • 12/16/14, 1:59 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah crawls through the vents some more, practically slithering after a buildup of sweat makes him slide through the vents, like a slithery snake.
Master Chief
Master echoes down the vents. "If I am correct again, then you should turn another right, and then you will be in the Waiting Room!"
Elijah Schade
Elijah turns right, after crawling some more. "I think I got it."
Elijah Schade
Elijah turns himself over backwards, in attempt to kick out the vent. The bolts jiggle a little bit out of place, but it remains stuck.
Elijah Schade
"Give me a minute!"
Elijah • 12/16/14, 2:27 PM
Master Chief
"Okay! Don't die!"
Master • 12/16/14, 2:27 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah kicks again, in hope to knock the bolt out of place.
Elijah Schade
Elijah knocks the bolt out, slamming the grate to the ground. In hopes of nothing being down in the waiting room, he falls down, and lands on his feet.
Master Chief
Master looks up to the dimly lit hallway, eyeing down the red office doors. He faintly sees the shape of a figure.
Elijah Schade
Elijah waves out one of the doors, hoping that he catches the attention of his comrades.
Master Chief
Master cups his hands again, shouting down the hallway. "The closet! Hit the power button in the closet!"
Elijah Schade
Elijah goes towards the power switch, but is caught in the wonderful breeze of the Air Conditioning. He stands in it for a solid five seconds before going ahead and shutting off the power.
Master Chief
The electrical hazard makes a loud "ZAP!" noise, and the water stops glowing. James steps onto the puddle, unscathed, beckoning for the others to follow.
"Alright, and we'll just turn it back on, and we will be on our way. Before we do, we need to get Jack."

Master flicks the gun off of safety, whilst looking at the girl. He then beckons for her to follow, and walks down the hallway, to the bridge.
Jack ™
When you arrive at the security point, the door is wide open. One of the guards lays dead, slumped against the wall with the strange crab creature attached to his head, multiple bullet holes in his tactical Kevlar vest. The other guard, Jack, is not present.

Elijah walks up to the doors, but it is apparent that they are locked now that the power is off, and will remain locked. "Maybe if I turned on the power, it would open again."
Elijah Schade
"If I turn this on I risk electrocuting the rest of the team."
Elijah • 12/17/14, 11:28 AM
Master Chief
Master peeks around the corner, still not seeing Jack. He looks to Shion. "I guess he ditched us. His loss."
Master Chief
Master looks down to the fallen guard, silently exchanging RIP's.
Elijah Schade
Elijah shakes his head, "Now is not a good time to be making horrible choices."
Master Chief
Master walks up the bridge, looking to the elevator. "Let's roll."
Elijah Schade
Elijah desperately attempts to pry open the door, but to no avail.
Master Chief
"Turn the power back on, Felix!"
Master • 12/17/14, 11:33 AM
Elijah Schade
Elijah slams the switch, a pleasant roll of AC coming in, along with the satisfying sound of doors opening.
Master Chief
Master walks into the waiting room with others, looking down Felix. "Good job, you didn't die!" he says, as he pats his back.
Elijah Schade
Elijah smiles, holding his cigar in his mouth, "I appreciate the compliments."
Master Chief
Master steps to the door of the elevator, side stepping debris and trash on the floor. He hits a button, opening the elevator.
Master Chief
"Go ahead in, now."

Caleb stands uneasily as the elevator starts to accelerate.
Master Chief
"To the surface."
"WE'VE GOT HOSTILES!"
Chapter 5
The elevator creaks to a slow speed. As the elevator slowly stops, it ends up in another storage facility. Daylight shines up the small area, about the size of a classroom. 2 windows and a door make up the portion of the opposite wall.
Boxes and crates fill up the center of the storage room, covered in dust. A large helicopter pulls in from above, the sounds of helicopter blades alerting you. It reveals to be an Osprey made by the US. As it slowly lands in front of the storage room, HECU Marines storm out, in their camoflauged outfits.
Master • 12/17/14, 11:54 AM

Caleb can barely see anything with the sudden amount of light around him. He hears the loud chopper blades. He shouts to the others so he can be heard.

He cannot imagine if they will lose another member. If so, who will it be? No. He can't think like that. They will make sense out of this chaos. They will defeat the aliens and put the Marines in their place.

AS the group sprints through the last ladder, out into another catwalk, the catwalk snaps into two, leaving a large gap in between the exit and the sio.
Master • 12/19/14, 12:11 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah curses under his breath.
"Damn. Anyone up for a jump?"
12/19/14, 1:33 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb Erb
Caleb chuckles slightly.
Master Chief
Thin energy pipes line next to the fallen bridge, allowing for a tightrope-like walk.
Master • 12/19/14, 1:34 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb looks over to the wall.
"Oh no."
"Anyone thinking what I'm thinking?"
12/19/14, 1:39 PM
Caleb Erb
Elijah Schade
Elijah smiles, "I used to go see French-inspired circus groups with my family, back in the day, when I was a young lad."
Master Chief
-SLAM!-
Master • 12/19/14, 1:39 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah pulls out his cigar, "Time to go."
Elijah Schade
erb begins to walk across the pipe carefully, holding on hand on the wall to maintain a grip and balance.
Elijah • 12/19/14, 2:56 PM
Elijah Schade
erb traverses successfully.
Elijah • 12/19/14, 4:01 PM
Master Chief
A vent is the only thing on the other side of the catwalk.
Master • 12/19/14, 4:01 PM
Elijah Schade
"Not these again.."
Elijah • 12/19/14, 4:04 PM
Master Chief
Fast Forward- The group is in the vent, crawling.
Master • 12/19/14, 4:59 PM
Elijah Schade
"I think the end of the vent is close by, let's keep moving."
Elijah • 12/19/14, 5:27 PM
Master Chief
The group arrives to a radioactive river. A place used to dump the excess waste generated by the facility.
Master • 12/19/14, 5:29 PM
Elijah Schade
"Please tell me we don't have to cross through this."
Elijah • 12/19/14, 5:30 PM
Master Chief
The first obstacle is a turn in the river.
Master • 12/19/14, 5:32 PM
Master Chief
A bridge made of pipes goes across the turn, but do you dare to climb up to it?
Master • 12/19/14, 7:51 PM
"I guess we are going to die anyhow. By the hand of radioactive waste, by the Marines, or by those alien scum. If I have anything to say about it, I am not dying by any traitors or by the hand of alien lifeforms. So who's up to cross this hell-hole?"
12/19/14, 8:22 PM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
The pipes seem to be wet, as slipper as ice.
Master • 12/19/14, 8:28 PM
Elijah Schade
"Big talk from the rookie. Why don't you go first?"
Elijah • 12/19/14, 8:30 PM
Jack ™
"Rekt"
Jack • 12/19/14, 8:32 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb glares at Felix but cautiously steps forward. Clearing his mind, he takes out step after another. His foot slips slightly but he was almost thrown off. But he regains his balance and continues. Not thinking about the staring eyes behind him, he judges how many steps he has left. Around four. He takes another step.
Master Chief
The bridge descends into what seems an infinite radioactive river.
Master • 12/19/14, 8:45 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb takes another two steps careful not to slip.
Master Chief
As Chris fumble onward, he eventually reaches a large, rusty pipe. It appears an engineer was working there, since there are two pipes disconnected. The only thing there is a valve, with cords connected to it.
Master • 12/19/14, 8:49 PM
Master Chief left the Hangout.
You added Master Chief to the Hangout.
Master Chief
The rest of the group arrives shortly afterwards, next to Chris.
Master • 12/20/14, 2:53 PM
Elijah Schade
"We need food, and I may have been the only one who noticed, but where is our beautiful, and bitchy coworker?"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 3:00 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb shrugs his shoulders, "Not sure, she'll turn up. I hope." He reaches forward for the valve. Turning it clockwise he finds that it does not budge. He turns the valve the other way. Turning it until the handle does not move any long, he looks around waiting for a reaction somewhere.
Master Chief
The pipe makes a rusty creak, coursing along the cords. It stops infront of the other pipe, allowing for enough distance to make a jump.
Master • 12/20/14, 3:06 PM
Elijah Schade
"Let's go, comrades."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 3:09 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb leaps across the gap. Barely making the ledge, he steps forward and turns around to ensure the others a safe jump.
Master Chief
The group follows shortly after, each making the jump perfectly. The pipe is strangely large, atleast big enough to fit two cars in. The group continues onward, pressing through into darkness.
As the group presses on, the pipe makes a metallic screeching sound. It snaps in half, falling down into another room. The group slides out forcefully.
CHAPTER 7: POWER UP
Master • 12/20/14, 3:15 PM
Master Chief
The room is bright, office lights shining it. Vending machines, along with military crates are seen in the room. To your right is a long hallway.
Master • 12/20/14, 3:26 PM
"OOMPF!"
12/20/14, 3:27 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb Erb
Caleb falls face first on the ground. Licking his wounds he gets up and check to see if the others were okay.
Elijah Schade
"Rookie, what was that?"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 3:56 PM
Master Chief
Military chatter can be heard down the hallway.
Master • 12/20/14, 3:57 PM
Elijah Schade
erb ducks behind a crate out of reaction to the military voices.
Elijah • 12/20/14, 3:57 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb quickly rolls behind yet another cleaning cart and motions for the others to be quiet. He peers around the corner.
Master Chief
The military chatter suddenly goes quiet.
Master • 12/20/14, 5:36 PM
Master Chief
The sound of flames being spewed answer the sudden silence. Struggling can be heard beyond the hallway.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:33 PM
Master Chief
The crates seem tempting to look into. Supplies pile above them, along with the vending machines infront of them.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:39 PM
Elijah Schade
erb eyes the crates, but resumes contact with the machine. He pulls out several one dollar bills and inserts them into the machine.
"Gonna get me some coke and some delicious pretzels."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 9:41 PM
"I don't have any money on me. Damn."
12/20/14, 9:41 PM
Caleb Erb
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian looks over to the crates. "How about we don't act like complete idiots and look in the crates. Then proceeds to look in crate
Elijah Schade
"Assistant, food is more important than guns."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 9:43 PM
Master Chief
As Stan slowly pulls open the crate, magnum ammo reveals to be inside. 36 rounds.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:44 PM
Elijah Schade
"I believe I should have some of those."
erb flips open the chamber, revealing one bullet.
Elijah • 12/20/14, 9:45 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Really, I thought this was for my fabulous gun."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 9:45 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian hands the ammo to Felix
Elijah Schade
"You use 9 millimeter rounds. Unless you plan on blowing up your barrel."
erb chuckles
Elijah • 12/20/14, 9:45 PM
Master Chief
Screaming can be heard along with the sound of flames burning beyond in the hallway.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:46 PM
Elijah Schade
"Sounds painful."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 9:46 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb looks down and opens another crate. He reaches in it and pulls out a second revolver. Twelve rounds. Nice.
Master Chief
Shaking, the size of mini earthquakes can be felt along with the sounds of flames.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:49 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Well everything seems to be going dandy isn't it."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 9:49 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian slightly moves his head out into the hallway to see what the hell is going on.
Master Chief
Burning bodies lay on the ground, along with some military grunts fighting a large beast.
The beast is about 20 feet tall, firing blue flames at any threat.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:55 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian backs up slowly and gestures to the others to look.
Elijah Schade
"I'd rather not piss that thing off."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 9:59 PM
Master Chief
The final military grunt goes down. The beast puts its gigantic arms down, looking around for a next target.
Master • 12/20/14, 9:59 PM
"DAMN! How the hell do we expect to get past that!"
12/20/14, 9:59 PM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
Master • 12/20/14, 10:00 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb quickly backs out of sight.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian puts his hand over Chris's mouth "How about you shut upfirst."
Elijah Schade
Elijah smiles at Stan, "You're learning well."
Master Chief
Grenades lay ontop of a military crate in the back of the room. 2 grenades.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:01 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah hands him a cigar. "Use it well."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
DAMN is not whisper mode
Adrian • 12/20/14, 10:01 PM

The beast looks towards the door.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:01 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
(OOC)Void wrong chat
Adrian • 12/20/14, 10:01 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah ducks behind a wall in the corner, and whispers, "Please no."
Master Chief
The Gargantua screeches, having sighted its next victim. Its stomps to the entrance of the door.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:03 PM
Elijah Schade
"Get a fucking move on!"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:03 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb pulls out his Magnum and bolts to the side.
Master Chief
The creature bends down, attempting to reach into the small hallway.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:03 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian runs to the grenades as fast as possible, and lets one roll under the beast
Elijah Schade
Elijah runs around another corner of the hallway, in hopes that he avoids the creature.
Caleb Erb
Caleb hides behind the vending machine. He peeks around the corner aiming his magnum.
Master Chief
The grenade explodes under the Gargantua. He looks down to it in surprise.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:06 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah ducks out of sight, hoping that a gigantic convenient heat beam does not make the walls explode in fiery deathballs.
Master Chief
Recovering from the grenade, the beast looks back up into the hallway, blasting fire from his arm, blindly.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:08 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb quickly ducks behind the vending machine, hoping it will provide him temporary safety.
Master Chief
The creature looses interest after no result, backing away from the door, stomping around, looking for another target.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:11 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb darts out of his hiding place and runs across to the others, making sure everyone is okay.
Elijah Schade
"Rookie, take a few pot-shots!"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:13 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb turns around and randomly fires his Magnum at the beast.
Elijah Schade
Elijah dashes after caleb fires, finding other cover, and attempting to observe the beast for a weakpoint.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian runs to the closest cover near to Felix. "Look i have one grenade tell me were to throw."
Master Chief
Chris's gun makes a saddening clicking sound around it's third round. The magnum jams.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:17 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah shakes his head, "Don't bother. Shrapnel does nothing to it."
Master Chief
The beast follows the bullet holes, going in circles.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:19 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah shoots the rookie an angry look, "Well, don't just stand there, use the other gun you have!"
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks at everyone in the general area, "If one of us slips up, distract the beast so the rest of us can escape.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"I will run and throw the grenade after that run. Got it."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 10:21 PM
Master Chief
The beast walks by the hallway door, stopping infront of it. It stays looking to its side.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:22 PM
Elijah Schade
"If you feel so. But if one of us trips and falls, at least make your failure useful, that goes for me too."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:22 PM
Master Chief
The beast continues stomping around, near the other hallway entrance.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:23 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb drops his Magnum and pulls out the revolver he had found earlier. Firing blindly, he aims at the devil creature.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian nods in agreement "On three one... two... THREE!" Stan runs to the other side and lobs the grenade in the air towards the beast.
Elijah Schade
Elijah follows, hoping the beast is distracted by the grenade and removed from the entrance.
Master Chief
The grenade bounces around, and lands towards the left edge of the room, giving a chance to run.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:25 PM
Elijah Schade
"Everyone move, now!"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:25 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian bolts behind everyone.
Elijah Schade
Elijah makes a mad dash across the room to the hall opposing them, but the run feels like it takes forever.
Caleb Erb
Caleb dashes to the hall.
Master Chief
The grenade explodes, pissing off the monster. It then turns to witness the squad sprinting, quickly stomping after them.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:28 PM
"FASTER!"
12/20/14, 10:28 PM
Caleb Erb
Elijah Schade
Elijah throws his arm outward towards the beast, and the glowly lights that he supposes to be his eyes, and fires.
Master Chief
The beast howls, punting his arms to the side, preparing the fire.
Before spewing flames, the beast lifts up a foot.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:30 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:30 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah makes an attempt to dash away from the area of damage, but is he agile enough?
Master Chief
With a powerful slam, the beast lets go of his foot, smashing the ground. A rumble the size of a earthquake shakes the room, throwing off balance.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:31 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah gets tossed onto the ground, desperately scrambling to get back up, "Everyone on your feet! Fight! Do not fall to the likes of this creature!"
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian recovers from the slam as fast as he can and continues to make his dash
Master Chief
The beast lets out a sound similar to an maniacal laugh, but much lower. It begins to shoot fire towards the group.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:34 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah trips over a military corpse, before he notices the equipment at his disposal. He tugs a rifle off of the body, and begins to fire it at the creature.
Master Chief
The bullets ricochet off the heavily armored creature, only pissing it off even more.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:34 PM
Elijah Schade
"Keep running! Don't stop!"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:36 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah shoots wildly at the creature some more, tugging off weaponry from the dead corpse to have whatever possible effect it can.
Master Chief
The creature follows after the sprinting group, spewing fire at the closest victim, Felix.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:38 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah makes for a mad dash out of the way, hoping to avoid a fiery death.
Elijah Schade
Elijah gets one of his arms caught in the roast, a scream of agony crying out before his comrades. He pushes onward, grasping at his arm desperately. Thank god he wasn't wearing polyester. He uses his good hand to fire wildly at the creature, swearing over and over loudly, "Die damn you! Die, die, die!"
Elijah Schade
Elijah fumbles and gets tossed on the ground from his burns.
Elijah Schade
"Don't turn back!"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:44 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian looks back and reaches for Felix. "Come on man, I am not letting you die here."
Elijah Schade
Elijah shakes his head, his face in an angry contort, "No! Leave me behind, I am a burden! I will kill this beast with my bare hands if I must!"
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian looks at him with pure sadness. "NEVER, I will never leave you." Stan drags Felix to the exit.
Master Chief
The beast throws his arms back for a cool down, charging back up again.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:47 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah holds out the rifle in one hand, the kick making his accuracy terrible, and fires.
Elijah Schade
"Die, damn you! Die!"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 10:47 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian picks up the pace thinking it is their best chance to escape the beast.
Master Chief
The group finally reaches the exit, the beast following closely behind.
Master • 12/20/14, 10:49 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah drops the rifle from his arm, slouching. His body falls under a state where his pain exceeds his will to move. He hopes desperately that Stan can accomplish his goal, while saving him.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian puts Felix in a safe spot. "Felix look at me. I am going to get us through this okay." Stan rips off a part of his coat to cover Felix's wounds
Elijah Schade
Elijah winces, the coat sleeve tearing away some of his dead skin.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Just bare with me okay."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 10:51 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian continues to tie off the exposed flesh
Elijah Schade
Elijah remains slouched, his eyes slowly closing, "It's.. dark.."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
'NO. don't close your eyes you hear me. Keep them open."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 10:53 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah closes them anyhow.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian starts to have tears roll down his face
Elijah Schade
Elijah because fuck you
Elijah Schade
Elijah's cigar falls out of his mouth in slow motion and all dramatic and such.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian drags Felix down the hall finding some medical supplies containing biofoam."Here ya go, you will feel all better soon." Stan then proceeds to wipe the tears off his face.
Elijah Schade
Elijah's eyes flutter open, "Stop crying. You're not a pansy, are you?"
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian looks up with embarrassment "Shut up, I thought you where dead."
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks at him, "Let me tell you a story, Stan."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian proceeds to settle down next to Felix. "What is it about?"
Elijah Schade
Elijah coughs a little bit.
Elijah Schade
"When I was a young boy, I belonged with a group of kids. We were your average kids. We took slingshots and fired rocks at the crabby old lady's house, bought some icecream for a nickel, and we sat in tents, telling scary stories."
"But icecream was not a nickel, it was actually much more expensive. I am not that old."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:04 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah coughs again, before continuing.
Elijah Schade
"Anyhow."
"One day, we all gathered around a pond, and we began to silently gaze. But it was that my supposed friend, Gary, had a darker side."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:05 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah frowns, "He pushed us into the pond."
Elijah Schade
"And Jimmy didn't know how to swim."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:06 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks at Stan, "Did you know what we did to Gary after that?"
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"No, did you beat him up?"
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:06 PM
Elijah Schade
"He shared a watery grave with Jim."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:06 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks over to the floor, "Remember this Stan, if I die here, look at those around you. Be careful of those among you, and what they truly hold in their hearts."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian stares at he ground. "Well that was morbid, but I will always keep that at heart." Stan smiles towards Felix
Elijah Schade
Elijah laughs. "There's no such thing as a a separation between Heaven and Hell either. It's all one big shit-fuck of reality."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Well when did you start turning dark on me, cause this is really bumming me out."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:11 PM
Elijah Schade
"Ever since I realized I might die."
"I thought I was invincible, Stan. But no one is invincible. Not even the thing out there, not even Gordon Freeman himself."
"Kill it for me. It doesn't have to be now, it doesn't have to be later, but give that beast pain worse than any pain you could imagine."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:12 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"I will bring you it's head"
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:13 PM
Elijah Schade
"Please don't. That's too heavy to carry and it really is quite frightening."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:14 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Does it look like i care that thing is going to loose it's head and I am going to carry it"
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:16 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah sighs, before pulling out a bag of pretzels, and struggles to open it due to his burns.
Elijah Schade
"Could you please open these?"
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:17 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian opens the bag 'Do you want me to feed you as well your highness?" Stan says while chuckling.
Elijah Schade
Elijah tosses the pretzel bag by his mouth, several pretzels running into it. He chews and the bag moves rhythmically in pattern with his chewing.
Elijah Schade
Elijah reaches into his back pocket, pulling out what was supposed to be a coke, but is now partially melted due to the heat.
Elijah Schade
"Damn."
Elijah • 12/20/14, 11:19 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Here i will go look for water, alright."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:20 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah shakes his head, "Too hot. I'll go into shock."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Well I need it so I am going any way. Don't die while I'm gone."
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:21 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah lays his head back, "I think I'm going to take a nap."
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Sure you do that"
Adrian • 12/20/14, 11:22 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian proceedes to search for water
Master Chief
Military chatter can be heard beyond the hallway, suggesting reinforcements have arrived.
Master • 12/20/14, 11:27 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb watches as Felix and Stan have their heartfelt conversation. Almost made him cry. He misses his parents. His girlfriend. He brother. Chris pushes those thoughts of of his mind and dries his moist eyes. He hears something. Great. And Stan is all by himself getting water.
Elijah Schade
"Come on rookie, don't let a murderer become murdered. Go on ahead."
Elijah • 12/21/14, 8:28 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb pulls out his revovler and checks the barrel. Eight rounds. "I hope this is enough," he mumbles under his breath. Chris peaks around the corner from where the sounds were coming from. He motions for the others to stop gabbing and be quiet so he can hear their conversation.
Master Chief
As Stan heads down the hallway, he reaches a large room, with debris across the floor. A clicking sound can be heard, followed by a scanning noise.
Master • 12/21/14, 9:22 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian is curious and cautiously looks around the room.
Master Chief
-BRAKKA BRAKKA BRAKKA!-
A ground turret becomes visible from the left corner of the room, firing at Stan.
Master • 12/21/14, 9:25 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian runs to cover and hides from the view of the turrent
Master Chief
The turret continues firing, then stops shortly after. The scanning sound continues, then a click. The scanning stops.
Master • 12/21/14, 9:26 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian thinks briefly, "Better tale this out now" and starts to chuck debri towards the turrent trying not to get shot
Master Chief
The turret makes clicking noises as the debris is thrown. A large rock makes heavy impact with the turret, knocking it over. It fires rapidly, then makes a shut down sound.
Master • 12/21/14, 9:30 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Well that wasn't very difficult"
Adrian • 12/21/14, 9:30 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian proceeds to look for water in the room.
Master Chief
Military crates scatter around where the fallen military sentry lays. An interesting crate, unlocked catches your attention
Master • 12/21/14, 9:31 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian opens the create to investigate
Master Chief
The crate creaks open, revealing to be a food supply crate. Inside is a pile of water bottles.
Master • 12/21/14, 9:34 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah coughs loudly, and it sounds very dry.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian tries to conceal his excitement and runs back to Felix "Here want some water?"
Elijah Schade
Elijah coughs, raising his non-burnt arm towards the bottle, "Good work, assistant."
Elijah Schade
Elijah coughs some more, taking the waterbottle, and attempting to open it with one hand.
Master Chief
The water bottle doesn't budge, from Felix's lack of strength.
Master • 12/21/14, 9:38 PM
Jack ™
Chatter begins to come from a radio sitting atop one of the boxes.
"Uhhh, we've got a 10-80 here, the Captain was all reinforcements to our 10-20"
Jack • 12/21/14, 9:43 PM
Jack ™
"Ten-nineteen headquarters."
Jack • 12/21/14, 9:46 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah slams the waterbottle, and the cap busts open. He takes a huge gulp.
Master Chief
The creature from before leans over into the hallway, looking at the group.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:07 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah turns his head back, unable to move, "What the hell do you want?"
Master Chief
The beast screeches, blasting flames towards the group.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:08 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah watches at the flames barely lick the edge of the hallway he resides in. He laughs at it.
Elijah Schade
"I bet if I sat here all day and shot pebbles at you, you'd eventually kill over."
Elijah • 12/21/14, 10:09 PM
Master Chief
The beast stumbles away, stomping in the other room.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:11 PM
Jack ™
"Ten sixty-two."
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:11 PM
Master Chief
An electrical buzzing occurs in the other hallway.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:12 PM
Jack ™
"Beta to all units, we've got negative contact from Cisco."
"Ten Seventy-Eight."
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:14 PM
Master Chief
"Chur! Gang alur, ghur,"
Master • 12/21/14, 10:14 PM

The vortiguant walks down the hallway, infront of the fallen sentry.
The vorti reaches down, and picks up the strange device, looking it down.
"Gur, cha lung ghur...."
Master • 12/21/14, 10:19 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah helplessly lies at what seems to be his open grave, burned, and scarred heavily. Not even the effects of the biofoam can remove all the pain, and only one arm is usable. He pulls out his revolver, and reload some ammo into it from the previous excursion, he readies it, and grins.
Elijah Schade
"Looks like it's the end of the line here."
Elijah • 12/21/14, 10:24 PM

An explosion goes off, gunshots echoing through the hallway. The Vortigaunts collapse to the floor, dead.
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:27 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah sighs, before leaning himself against the wall. "Maybe if I play dead, I can get the jump on them."
Master Chief
Military chatter grows louder, closing in from the sentry hallway.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:36 PM
Jack ™
A long and thin, cylinder like object rolls into the room quickly.
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:38 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah attempts to move out of the way, "Shit!"
Jack ™
The grenade explodes, and a blinding light floods the room. All you see is a white screen, and all you hear is a loud ringing.
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:41 PM
Master Chief
Heavy footsteps follow shortly after.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:41 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah falls against a wall, only revealing the burnt part of his body, hoping the military would assume the screams came from the rest of the group.
Master Chief
Felix's body lays against the wall, perfectly still.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:48 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah remains there, concerned about the rest of the group. But, he continues to play dead until the military passes, or an opportunity to ambush them arises, as soon as his vision returns.
Jack ™
One of the soldiers instantly moves for Felix's body, walking over to it and trying to flip it over with his boot.
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:49 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah flops dead-like.
Jack ™
The soldier aims the shotgun at the back of Felix's head.
Jack • 12/21/14, 10:50 PM
Master Chief
A soldier from the back of the squad goes down, with a short screech. The rest of the group goes down, but the one pointing at Felix goes down with a headshot.
A security guard is standing behind the fallen body.
Pumping back the shotgun, the security guard looks at Felix's armm.
"Damn."
The security guard appears to be an Hispanic with a heavy accent. He reloads, looking around.
Master • 12/21/14, 10:52 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah grunts, dragging himself across the floor with his one good arm.
Elijah Schade
Elijah flops around, trying to regain a sense of reality from his indisposed state.
Master Chief
Master looks to the rest of the group with a raised eyebrow.
Elijah Schade
"God.. fucking.. dammit."
Elijah • 12/21/14, 10:54 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah reaches over to an object on the floor, in the shape of a familiar object. He takes the object and sets one end on fire, putting it in his mouth.
Elijah Schade
Elijah gazes at the ceiling helplessly, still unable to see clearly. He can only make out certain shapes, but he pulls the cigar out of his mouth, and utters a few words.
Master Chief
Master bends down to the military radio, attempting the most american accent possible.
Master Chief
"10-20, tango down. Cisco prepared, ready for action."
Master • 12/21/14, 10:57 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah attempts to stand up, and gain some balance.
Elijah Schade
Elijah stumbles around the room, searching through various caches of supplies for more biofoam.
Master Chief
Master turns around to the fumbling Felix, raising his eyebrow.
Elijah Schade
Elijah finds some bandages in the remaining kits, fumbling with them in one arm. He manages to wrap it around his burn and injured limb, hopefully doing something.
Master Chief
"We're going to have to restore power to that tram if we have plans on escaping. Science team says there was a rocket that could stop this whole situation, but we're going to have to take the decommissioned rail system to find it."
Master • 12/21/14, 11:06 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah listens to the guard, but doesn't respond, he flips the cigar around between his teeth, smiling, and with one arm, grabs hold of a rifle off of a soldier's arm. He uses it as a crutch, for the time being.
Elijah Schade
"That was the last fucking straw."
Elijah • 12/21/14, 11:07 PM
Master Chief
Master shoots the scientist a dirty look for not responding. He proceeds to bend over, and takes an MP5 from a fallen military grunt.
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks at the guard, "Do what you must, but there are some things that must be done in the process."
Jack ™
"Alright Cisco, proceed to Beta's 10-20."
Jack • 12/21/14, 11:08 PM
Master Chief
Master quickly sprints over to the radio.
Master Chief
"Affirmative, sir! Cisco, out."
Master • 12/21/14, 11:09 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah pulls off several grenades from the soldiers' belt loops, tucking them away. "These will make good use, later."
Master Chief
"I suspect there are more of those traitor pendejos up ahead."
"We need to get a move on, prepare for combat."
Master • 12/21/14, 11:18 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah tucks the rifle under his arm, cautiously walking around to regain a sense of balance. The more charred side of his body causes him great pain as he walks, but he is able to manage.
Master Chief
Ahead is a room with sandbags in the middle. Oil barrels litter the place, and ahead is another door. To the left and right are walkways.
"Seems like another world war two."
Master • 12/21/14, 11:32 PM

Elijah • 12/21/14, 11:35 PM
Master Chief
Master looks down to his MP5, opening and closing the grenade launcher chamber.
Elijah Schade
Elijah shakes his head, muttering something incomprehensible under his breath, "Vessh? Maybe? I don't know."
Elijah Schade
"Nevermind that."
Elijah • 12/21/14, 11:37 PM
Master Chief
Master puts his MP5 into battle ready position, cautiously walking to the door of the other room.
Master Chief
Master looks over to the guy he's never seen before.
Master Chief
"You new here?"

The man in the suit appears in the room ahead of the group. He stares down Chris.

Caleb turns to the Hispanic man.
"Yes, my first day. I've had probably the most......interesting......first day of work anyone has ever had."

Master Chief
The suited man continues staring down Chris. His eyes emit a blue charge as he stares.

Caleb turns to the other man. "And who are you? Should I fear you or consider you friend?"
Master Chief
"That is for you to decide."
The blue charge fades slowly, resetting back to a cold, dark look.
Master • 12/22/14, 8:06 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb mumbles under his breath. "So the mysterious type huh?"
Master Chief
Master straightens his tie, looking to Chris. "No regrets, Mr. Wilmington..." He walks away into the door behind the balcony.
Caleb Erb
Caleb finds something odd with the sentence but reluctantly dismisses it. Chris turns to Carlos.
"So, who are you?"
12/22/14, 8:13 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
"Carlos. I had station duty here in shipping but as you can see, that went badly."
Master • 12/22/14, 8:13 AM
"So you're a friend. Good. We lost quite a few of our men. It feels good to have a man of talent come on board. That is. If you wish to join us."
12/22/14, 8:16 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
"Science team said there is a way to stop this. We need to take the tram, pero, we have to restore power to it. Once we do, we can find the science team's rocket and launch it."
"Word is they were ready to shoot it off into space, but those military stopped them before they could."
Master • 12/22/14, 8:17 AM
"What is the deal with the military anyhow. Aren't they the people who funded this mission, but now they are preventing it from happening."
12/22/14, 8:19 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
"Their idea of containment is killing everyone associated with the project."

"Yeah, that one nigga with a crust arm!"

Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Hey will be fine he just needs some rest."
Adrian • 12/22/14, 8:23 AM
Master Chief
Master seems a bit overly excited to step into the next room. As he rounds the cat walk, he takes a leap into the elevator at the end.
Master Chief
"Anyone coming for the ride? If we are getting anywhere, we have to restore power!"
Master • 12/22/14, 8:38 AM
"I'll help. Just tell me how."
12/22/14, 8:43 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
Master puts the SPAS-12 onto a buckle, equipping the MP5. "Follow me."
Caleb Erb
Caleb raises his hand as to symbolize, "Lead the way."
Master Chief
Master hits the button to descend down to the elevator room.
Master Chief
(OOC) Generator room*
As the elevator reaches the bottom room, it reveals to be flooded. The water reaches your knees. Across the room, far away, you can see the generator.
Master • 12/22/14, 8:46 AM
"Shit. If we don't get out of hear, we are going to drown. We have to get out of this elevator."
12/22/14, 8:46 AM
Caleb Erb
Master Chief
"The water isn't rising. I think we're okay."
Master • 12/22/14, 8:47 AM
Master Chief
Master trudges through the water, approaching the generator, unaware of the zombie shambling from behind him.
Master Chief
The creature stikes down Carlos, throwing him into the water.
"Damn!"
Master • 12/22/14, 8:50 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb notices the creature and quickly pulls out his Magnum. Chris fires two shot into the head of the beast.
Master Chief
The shots whistle past the creature, missing it by a hair.
Master • 12/22/14, 8:53 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb fires off another shot.
Master Chief
Master quickly reaches into his sidepocket, pulling out a Glock.
Master Chief
The creature strikes again, missing from the water blocking the shot.
AS Chris fires at the beast, it makes a critical hit at the zombie's head. He goes down with a gurgle.
"Maybe you should aim better next time!"
Master • 12/22/14, 8:55 AM
Elijah Schade

Master continues trudging forward to the generator.
Elijah Schade
"Where's the biofoam..."
Elijah • 12/22/14, 8:58 AM
Master Chief
The duo reach the generator, the room perfectly dry due to a steep step blocking the water flowage.
Master • 12/22/14, 8:58 AM
Master Chief
Master jumps over the ledge, walking to the generator. A box reveals to be blocking the machine, from generating electricity.
"Here gimme a hand."
12/22/14, 9:01 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb Erb
Caleb bends down and tries to shift the large box out of the way.
Master Chief
Master puts the MP5 onto his back, and switches it for a shot gun. He beckons for Chris to back up.
Caleb Erb
Caleb follows as told and looks around for the reason of this sudden retreat.
Master Chief
Master presses the 2nd trigger of the shotgun, double blasting the crate.
Master Chief
The crate takes damage, but it is not enough. The machine does not budge.
"What do they put into these stupid crates? Steroids?"
Master • 12/22/14, 9:04 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb chuckles. "If it is, I call dibs."
Master Chief
Master double-blasts the crate again, throwing him off his feet.
Master Chief
The crate crumples, allowing the two pumps to.. well, pump, swiftly and quickly. The light in the room brightens, and sparks of electricity shoot from the ledge they originated from.
"What was that?"
Master • 12/22/14, 9:09 AM
Master Chief
In front of the ledge lays a large, electrical stream, making explosions. It had a delay of 5 seconds before each shock.
Master • 12/22/14, 9:20 AM
Elijah Schade
erb straps some military Kevlar to his chest, after several minutes of not using his other arm. He slowly regains use of his crippled limb, though it is not enough. He needs more biofoam.
Elijah • 12/22/14, 9:21 AM
Master Chief
"Rookies first."
Master • 12/22/14, 9:23 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb cautious looks at the spark.
Caleb Erb
Caleb waits for the five second moment where there is no charge. When it comes he dives and rolls for the other side, praying he makes it in time.
Master Chief
Chris successfully rolls across the threat.
Master • 12/22/14, 9:30 AM
Caleb Erb
Caleb bangs his head on the floor. "Ouch." He turns to Carlos. "Your turn."
Master Chief
Master stands by the shock, waiting for his chance.
Master Chief
Master throws himself across the gap during the lay, rolling across to Chris.
Caleb Erb
Caleb gives Carlos a hand to help him up. "Here."
Master Chief
Master grasps Chris' hand, and pulls himself up.
"So now where to?"

Elijah Schade

Master cringes at the display.
Master Chief
The beast looses interest, and stomps to the right
"I assume now is our chance."
Master • 12/22/14, 12:11 PM
Elijah Schade
"This will happen to you if you can't outrun that thing."

Elijah • 12/22/14, 12:15 PM
Master Chief
"Almost there, I can see the generator plugs!"
A small stop becomes visible down the large tunnel.
The beast power slams, throwing off balance.
Master • 12/22/14, 12:16 PM

Elijah • 12/22/14, 12:18 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb turns to the others. "Let's go." As the beast is distracted Chris runs out to follow Carlos and Felix as they run.
Master Chief
The Gargantua continues on hot trail of the two, blasting fire.
Master • 12/22/14, 1:37 PM
Master Chief
Master regains balance, and sprints for the door. It's within arms reach.
Caleb Erb
Caleb resists the urge to fire his revolver. This would make his presence known.
Master Chief
Master power dives headfirst into the room along with Felix. They both land in the left side of the side of the room.
Master Chief
The Gargantua screeches, bending into the room. He cant fit in, so he blasts fire into the middle of the room, preventing the two from plugging the other outlet.
Master • 12/22/14, 1:40 PM
Master Chief
Master flips the lever to turn on the left generater.
Master Chief
The right lever remains untouched to the right side of the room. It cannot be turned, from the flames blocking the way.

Zachary engages $w@g machine, after a few seconds of a rubbling noise the ground starts to shake and after the shaking stops there is a loud noise emitting from the box and after THat stops a little cannon appears out of the hand held box and shots a little burst of confetti into the air like someone only took a hand full and it slowly falls down settling on the ground
Master Chief
A delay of 5 seconds happens from the flames of the beast, giving the duo a chance to slide past.

"Felix, how are you doing?"

Master Chief
With a loud BZZT, both of the generators come to life. A large, electrical spark forms onto the Gargantua, generating steam from him. The beast begins to holler, throwing his arms up in pain. With a loud, SZZT! the beast explodes, crunchy pieces of alien thrown across the generators.
Master • 12/22/14, 1:57 PM

Master walks out of the small stop, his skin tattered with black smoke. He strolls down to the rest of the group, walking past them. He then goes onto a tram, and turns it on.
Caleb Erb
Caleb boards the tram as well.
Master Chief
Master cranks the lever up, speeding to the middle of the tram stop;
Elijah Schade
erb sighs at the rookie, being the first to board the tram. At least the ones that risk their lives should go first.
"If we could catch a break sometime soon, that'd be great."

The tram pushes forward with everyone on, going down the bridge. It goes up a ramp, then it eventually reaches a dead end. Two open office doors are to the right of the end, and to the left are military crates.
One crate stands out from the rest, not having a lock on it, and being the easiest to access.
Behind the pile of crates, are two office doors, the window very easy to see through. The familiar blue man is behind the door, staring down Felix.

Following the direction pointed by the man, it leads to a staircase, which goes to the outside. Two marines chatter to each other outside the door, unbeknownst of the scientists behind them. It would be best to not attack, at least yet, for they seem to be talking about something important.

"Heads will roll, and death will be the stench around here that all will recognize!"
Elijah • Mon, 4:47 PM
Master Chief
Master worms to the other side of the room, attempting to put his face on crates to push himself up.
Elijah Schade
Elijah pulsates with anger, breathing heavily. His shoulders tense and relax, repeatedly. "Where's my fucking knife?"
Elijah Schade
Elijah glances around the room, looking for his equipment and other arsenal.
Elijah Schade
"Time to wake up, Rookie. Stan, you too. Carlos, find a way to break free, we're going after them."
Elijah • Mon, 4:52 PM
Master Chief
Master reaches into his pocket, but to his disappointment, no gun is found. The same trait can be applied to everyone else.

"We're at the bottom of the food chain again.
Master • Mon, 4:59 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah looks over to the tables in the room, for his knife.
Master Chief
Master puts his upper lip to the crate, pushing himself up.
Elijah Schade
"Not when we have weapons. The marines are just like us, shattered- broken. But they hide it under mounts of kevlar, trapping us like monsters. Humans with the qualities of monsters, while the actual monsters out there destroy us with their human-like ways, straightforward, and through nature's divine will."
Elijah • Mon, 5:00 PM
Master Chief
Master wobbles back into place, looking to Felix, babbled by the Shakespeare speech.
Elijah Schade
"To seek our flesh and to eat is simply their function. These marines are not ordered, but they find thrill in their murder. Such is why they must die for it."
Elijah • Mon, 5:01 PM
Master Chief
"Nigga, you're hurting me!"
Master • Mon, 5:02 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah shakes his head, "Nevermind that." He reaches for his knife, hoping to use it to cut himself free.
Master Chief
Master snorts loudly, mocking Felix.
Elijah Schade
Elijah manages to struggle enough to loosen his arms, and grasp his knife.
Elijah Schade
"My friends, the day of freedom is upon us."
Elijah • Mon, 5:05 PM
Master Chief
"The day I can double park without worry?"
Master • Mon, 5:06 PM

Elijah chuckles, "If only."
Elijah Schade
Elijah slides the knife back and forth from his bonds, hoping it cuts free in a timely fashion.

"What is it with you and following us around?"
Master • 7:47 AM

Caleb Erb
Master Chief
The marine turns to the other. They give each other a slight nod.
The marine grabs the back of Chris's folding chair, picking him up. The same happens to Carlos.
"Aye papi, a donde vamos?!"
The marines strut out of the room, dragging the two behind them.
As the two are dragged out, the area reveals to be a canyon, with a rushing river. A dam consumes the river, a large waterfall following shortly after. The two marines place Carlos and Chris next to each other, in front of the river on the dam.
Master • 8:52 AM

Caleb looks to Carlos with a look that says he has given up. "It was nice knowing you my friend."
Master Chief

The Osprey lands somewhere beyond the dam, silencing.
The marine responsible for Carlos turns to the captain, and nods.
The two marines leave the captain behind, going into the warehouse.
The marines return, with three scientists, bonded in chairs like the others.
Master • 10:54 AM

The marines station them next to Alpha, then return to their spot next to the captain.

Jack • 11:15 AM

Jack steps up to one of the scientists, grabbing the chair violently and dragging him towards the edge. He looks back towards the group slowly, "Tell me about your work."
Jack ™
"I mean, I could just throw him over now, since you don't know them."
Jack • 11:17 AM

The scientist in his respective chair looks over to them pleadingly, though he is gagged, and cannot speak. His eyes say it all.

An M1 Abrams tank rolls by from the left of the dam, its gun pointed ahead. It ignores the group, driving up the curve, beyond the dam.

Caleb looks at the now-gone tank.
"That was random."

"TELL HIM ALREADY!"
Master • 11:37 AM
Elijah Schade
Elijah smirks. "What could they know anyway? Some stupid grunts don't get it."
Master Chief
The marine snaps to the scientist, then turns to Felix. He steps towards him, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"I dont have much time for this, Shade. Tell us, if you know so much."
Master • 11:41 AM
"Fine. We were sent here to explore the possibilities of transportation technology. Ya know. The whole Star Trek thing, 'Beam me down Scotty'. Anyways, our experiment was to bend space-time in order to leap across the gap, or "teleport" if you will. We had no idea that bending Space-Time would not only allow us to wormhole through space but also other species of life to come to us."
11:43 AM
Caleb Erb
Elijah Schade
"He's dead, Jim."
Elijah • 11:43 AM
Master Chief
The marine tenses his grip, standing away from Shade.
He nods to the Captain, and to the other marine.

Master • 11:50 AM
Elijah Schade
"Fucking drop me.

Elijah • 11:51 AM
Master Chief
"No."
The marines drops him on the ledge, a 20 degree angle. The wall of the dam is similar to a slide.
Master • 11:52 AM
Elijah Schade
Elijah while he is being dropped, he flicks out his wrist. The weakened ropes snap loudly, before he shoves his knife into the leg of the marine, hoping to drag him down.
Master Chief
The chair slides down the dam, screeching. The legs of the chair begin to disintegrate from the friction. The marine grips his thigh in pain.
Master • 11:54 AM

Unfortunately, doing so after being dropped would be nearly impossible, as you would be facing away from the marines when you are dropped.
Jack • 11:54 AM

Elijah • 11:55 AM
Master Chief
The chair impacts the water, making a huge splash, without its legs. Felix, Stan, and Chris are floating in a river, at mercy to its raging speed.

Elijah Schade
Elijah rushes towards Stan, hoping to cut him free.
Master Chief
Caleb attack on the rope succeeds, and he tears free from the chair.

The group descends the first drop.
Master • 12:12 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb swims upward as fast as he can. He gasps once he reaches the surface, filling his strained lungs with oxygen. He looks around. He sees he, Stan, and Felix, are floating down a river, and just narrowly missed a large rock. Chris cannot see Carlos anywhere.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
"Dammit!"
Adrian • 12:13 PM
Master Chief
The group splashes into the river.
The second drop is ahead, 50 feet.
A large dead tree, supported by rocks, decorates the middle of the river.
Master • 12:14 PM

Elijah Schade
"Is it a bad time to smoke?"
Elijah • 12:15 PM
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes
Adrian quickly rises to the surface and reaches for the dead tree. "Is that really how you want to die?!"
Elijah Schade
"I haven't been able to smoke for three hours."
"Priorities!"
Elijah • 12:16 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb reaches the surface and wipes his wet hair from his eyes. Filling his lungs with air again, he exclaims. "EVERYONE TRY TO GRAB THE TREE! FORGET THE CIGAR!"

Elijah tries to grab for the tree, holding the smoke in his mouth still.
Adrian Abreu-Cespedes

Elijah makes a break for the left of the river.

"Let's go!"
Elijah • 5:47 PM
Jack ™
As you try to make your way towards the land, you notice the flow of water begins significantly stronger, too strong to swim against. The water level rises slightly, as the group is fiercely swept downriver with a strong newfound current.
Jack • 5:52 PM
Master Chief
The river is too murky to witness the cause of force.
Master • 5:53 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah holds a cigar to his mouth, the smoke barely coming off of it. It is drenched, and he simply sticks his hand up before making a peace symbol.

"Is this the real life?"
"Is this just fantasy?"
"Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality."

"I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy."
"Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low."
Elijah • 5:57 PM
Master Chief
As the water sucks in the group, the force stops tremendously, but it still keeps pushing. The river transforms into a boxed hallway, red lights ambience.
Master • 5:57 PM
Elijah Schade
The sudden surge shoves Felix underwater with strange French sounding gurgle noises.
Elijah • 5:57 PM
Master Chief
A thumping sound can be heard, but the source of it cannot be seen. The water is too merky, and there is not enough space to fully float your head above and see.
-THUMP!-
Master • 5:59 PM
Caleb Erb
Caleb floats in the now calm water. Everything was happening so fast. It was nice to receive a moment to think.
Master Chief
-THUMP!-
The sound pushes Chris off balance.
As the group floats towards the source, it reveals to be a crushing device, used to filter water. You're now in the processing area of Black Mesa.
Master • 6:24 PM
Master Chief
-THUMP!-
Master • 6:36 PM
Elijah Schade
Elijah struggles against the current, hoping to grab to a cliff or some object on the side, and not get crushed by a processing and filtering machine of death and doom.
Master Chief
The crusher has a delay of 5 seconds, as you listen to the smashing.
-THUMP!-
Master • 6:39 PM

Elijah's nuggets and gibs float around, one of his eyeballs swimming past Stan and Chris. Their mortified looks do nothing to justify the scene.

A voice echoes around the hallway. "Leaving so soon, Mr. Shade?"
Time stops, and you feel your senses retarding.
"I would think it unfair, to abandon your friends at such a timely hour."
"I'm afraid your time has not yet arrived. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve."
An orb appears in the middle of the group, blinding them. The man steps out of the orb, straightening his tie. He eyes down the remains of Felix.
The orb explodes into sparks, a bright white light blinding the group. Time fluctuates.
