A man in a uniform completely covered in different medal stared out the star frieghter's window. He peered down the hall, "Hey, pilot! How much longer till we arrive?" A squeaky voice replied from the other side, 'About ten min-minutes sir!" He replied, in a rather fearfull tone. The man then turned to face the troopers behind him. "Well boys, looks like were gonna be havin us some fun tonight!" He yelled. Several squads yelled in agreement, this sort of mission was there spiecalty, being they were spec-ops anyway. "All right you weevils! Go to briefing, room A23! The soldiers filed out single file. General McDavis was not a man, you displease.
As Captain David Meyers marched out of the hall he talked to the members of the squad he was in command of, Alpha. It was a group of three: Torch, demolitions expert. Snake, sniping enthuasist. And Tek, computer genious. "Hey guys."Captain Meyers said (codename: Fiend)."You all had better be ready, I've never seen this kind of destruction before, somethins not right..." He said to the men. "Eh, don't worry bout it. Cant be nuthin to bad." Said Torch. "Do you realize what happened man?!" Retorted Tek. "The whole crew, murdered. Or more, slaughtered. Its amazing that they even got a distress signal out..."
"All right then boys!" General McDavis yelled at the platoon. "This is a rescue mission!" He said as a hologram of a space station appeared. "As of July 23, 2789, there has been reports of strange happenins on that Station. We are to find any survivors, and get them the hell out of there!" He said. He went into extreme detail of each squads duties.
As Alpha squad reached the escape dispatch point, sweat beaded from the had of Fiend. He hated this space jumps (helljumps). It always gave him a rather large headache. He walked around the pods his crew were in, bangin on the doors to confirm they were in tight. three knocks confirming that they were in were heard. A coutdwon began to soud. "Oh, crap!" Fiend said as he quickly latched on his helmet and strapped himself in. 3...2...1 The pods were realeased as they went flying towards th space station. That was the first time they ever saw it, it was old, beaten on. scars of previous battles were everywhere, burn marks and such. The pods crashed into the side of the station and the doors flung open. There alpha squad stood, on the outside of the the station. "Allright then." Fiend said into the intercom of hi shelmet as he double checked that his rifle was loaded. "Lets do this!"

Lt. Sharp almost felt sorry for the helljumpers, almost. He was already in for a bumpy ride, his dropship and 3 others will enter the docking bay at high speed dropping off him and his squad in less than 5 seconds. It was then his job to secure the engineering bay just under the spot they were gonna drop on. "Hold on!" Ordered Sharp, "this is going to get rough." The dropships entered the bay and the troops were literally thrown out of the ship as it was turning around to exit, 'so much for a smooth ride.' Sharp thought, he was going to have a chat with the pilot when he got back on the ship...

Alpha squad repelled down the station until they came across a door. Torch blew open the door, and the squad walked in. As they walked through the next door the door in front of them closes, followed by the one behind them. As the room began to depressurize the squad began to talk. "This place is really freaky" Snake said, "what do you guys think happened?" He asked. Torch replied,"my guess? Well, I'll bet these scientists created robots, which eventually became self aware, and realized that they didnt have to take orders anymore and killed the crew." Tek laughed,"Haha, Teminator was a good movie, special effects really sucked though..." As he finished his sentence the door opened with a hiss. Fiend took point, walking down the corridors. Pipes lined the halls, some were no longer attached to their assigned holes, and smoke was coming out. Rust filled the room, and the lights were out. " Turn on your flashlights." Fiend said as he pushed a button on his helmet. A snap noise was heard in the distance. Torch went ahaid to investigate, and found that a box simply fell over. "Yep, really freaky." He said defiently to Snake.

The entire floating station was empty, so it seemed, yet the distress signal came from here. The only sounds were dripping water and sparking wires, which would discharge flickering lights here and there. A lurching sound, like that of an old sailing ship sounded apbruptly before ending. A small skittering noise was heard from behind the squad, but nothing was there.
Suddenly on the local transistor intercom a rough transmission sounded. "Anyone there? Can you hear me? I.. i think i could hear something.. if it's human, please respond. I hope they can't pick up these transmissions or I'm done for..."

Feind signaled to his squad to look behind them. He put his two fingers tohis ear, pressing a button, "Hello? Who is this? Where are you?" He said, as his team scrouged around the hall. "Nothing sir." Torch said. "Really freaky..."

There was silence again. Silence that would shake up even the hardest marine... The drips plunked into small puddles that formed on the floor, and the entire light systems of the station had died. They weren't even granted the dimness of the red emergency lights.
Finally the reply came. "Thank god! I was sure I was gonna die out here...This is Private Tucker Ryler," exclaimed the young voice through the static-filled transmission.

"This is Delta Squad to Alpha Squad Command,"Sharp said into is mic. "Come in over....*Static*. I can't raise command, Switch, Scan the walls for radio interference devices." Switch the comm specialist, took a tool out of his bag and started scanning..."negative sir, though I am picking up alot of white noise in between the hull." he thought about it for a moment, "I can't figure out what it is, I've never heard this before"....

Tek of Alpha squad likewise scanned the walls, "Sir, you might wanna listen to this." He handed Feind the scanner, allhe heard was faint hisses and what sounded like bubbles. He slowly moved the scanner down, as he did the sounds became louder. "Really freaky", Fiend ordered him to be quite. The sounds that came next horrified Fiend to an extreme level. He heard slithering noises loud hisses...and a human scream. It sounded as if it was a women. "ARGHGHGHG OH GO-" Followed by gurgling noises. Fiend dropped the scanner. "My god..." He thought to himself for a moment. And connected to Delta squad, "Delta Squad we read you loud and clear, setting reandevous point. A red arrow pointed on the visor of everyone in the platoon. "We have to find a survivor, we will meet you there, over."
Fiend bagan trodding through the hallway, and attempted to come into contact with Private Ryler. "Current position Private?"

"Not sure exactly where.. Somewhere on the lower levels. Been doewn here for a few days now, I had given up hope. First everything got really cold through the entire place, then suddenly lights go out, then there's this huge rocking, like something hit us right? Parties went out to investigate, but I stayed back to try and find how to turn on the lights... Then.. Then i hear screams.. these.. horrible. Listen, you have *bzzt* be care- *bbzzzt* there's some*bzzzzt* not.. not hu-*bzztztttbztt*
The transmission fell to only static, and the connection link to his suit was lost.

"Private? Private?! Blast. Lost him. Tek you tracked that transmission right?" Tek looked at the control panel on his forearm. "Yes sir, 2 stories below us." Fiend punched the wall next to him. If those things were below them, then that technician was in terrible danger. Going down there would be certain death for himself and his crew. But he could not fail his mission... "Lets go to the rendevous point." He then began walking very quitly, scanning everything in the room. The stench of leaking oil could be smelt, and sparks where flying from the electic overload. "NO!" fiend yelled as the spark connected with the oil and ignited. "RUN!!!" The party ran throught the hall, flames following them through the pipes. Fiend found an exit and leapt through it, followed by his squad. The door collapsed shut with a loud shhht noise. "Whew, that was close!" Torch said. Fiend sneered over at him, this life and death situation did not strike him to be too funny. Fiend got up and looked arond, the red arrow pointed straight ahead, he expected to find Delta squad on the other side of the room. Which was piled with boxes, giving off some kind of radiation. Alpha squad did not see it as much of a threat and moved on.

The room Alpha entered as they left that hall has a rusted spiraling stairway, supported along the walls. An entire ceiling light swung in the middle of the room, swaying left and right. This level seemed to have power in a few key areas of the ship, which explains the sparks. The swinging light flickered as the wires were tugged by gravity. Drips fell fromt he ceiling to pools below. Maybe a coolant system or something.

Fiend came to the rendevous point, and waited. His squad closely behind. Torch began to hear scrufflin to the side, he pulled out his rifle and went to investigate. Nothing was there... "Hehehehehe..." Came a voice, from what sounded like a small child. "Come. Come here..." The voice said. "What the hell?!" Torch yelled. A shadow passed through his eyesight, he immediatly turned and fired a round into nothingness. The ground burned iwht red hot plasma. "Hehehehehe..."

Suddenly a loud crash sounded and the lights went out. The swinging light had fallen, crashing by their feet. It may not have been a threat, but it got hearts racing.
"ca... ear me.. m in over..." went the transmission as a faint signal was picked up again.

Fiend ran back to the squad staying relatively close to Tek. "Hello?! Private? Are you there? Can you make it up to our current position? Look soldier, you have got to get the hell outa there! Now! DO you hear me, NOW!" He ordered. Snake began to investigate why the light would have fallen. He came to the conclusion that it fell from to much wieght. "Sir- He said to Fiend- I don't think were alone in here."

"Bzzt.. can't.. your position.. fr... lights have gone out. Locked myself in a room, but don't got any flashlight. Place is pretty secure though.. Hey, the transmission cleared up. Did you hear those voices?" he asked, sounding just about as scared as the rest of the team.
