KotZ Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Varen moves to B4, stumbling as he goes, his rifle swaying. "Almost got it." He again shoots at the Calyx. Oh I better hit this thing, he thinks to himself. Quote

Meanwhile, Kirwin's drone guides Varen's aim once more. This time, the lawyer's rifle scores true, burning through the fluid flesh of the Calyx. The alien creature is heavily wounded, and eyes up the man who shot it. Without Zaria forcing it back, it is able to root itself in position. Its liquid mass shifts, drawing away from its legs and towards its large talons. The appendage then shoots out, stretching across the room with its added length, puncturing Varen through his armour before pulling back into itself. The Sprouts join in the attack but aren't able to make much damage, only gnawing away at Kirwin's arm.

Zepher Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 "Well, that was only partially successful," Merei mutters as the Hydra sprout chews on Varen just as her healing light passes over him. "Stay in there." She defends Varen. Quote
Kintobor Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Tossing the bottle of Plasma Potion onto the floor, Zaria leaps back into the fray. Moving to B5, she strikes the Calyx, looking to end the creature's existence. Quote

Kirwin lets another burst of flame soar overtop the sprout's head, sending it scuttling back towards Varen. It tries to take a bite of the lawyer, but Merei's defences protect Varen from any further damage. Varen levels his rifle at the nearest Sprout, but the shot mostly glances off the Hydra before it's able to reach its effective range. Zaria, fully healed, finishes her charge, dissecting the Calyx with a firm hit. She's taken off-guard by the foul odour rising from the dying creature, and a Sprout uses this to its advantage as it jumps after, sinking its mandibles into her arm.

Kintobor Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Squinting in pain as another attack strikes her, Zaria turns around and slashes at Hydra Sprout A. "As long as I stand these creatures will find no respite from my blade; no place of rest or ease of burdens!" Quote

Kirwin's drone aids Varen as he places a solid shot through the center of one Sprout, almost splitting it in two. Its body stays together just enough for it to hurtle across Engineering, biting into Varen's ankles. Seeing the creature so close, Merei prepares for the worst. Zaria, meanwhile, continues her assault, turning towards the remaining Sprout and tearing it limb from limb and rendering the tendrils innert.

Kintobor Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Zaria takes a moment to clean her blade of the muck staining it. She looks to Varen and nods in approval. "Well aimed, Varen. We all did well. Varuth's guidance is with us, surely." She looked to the corpse of the larger Hydra. A challenging foe had been vanquished by her blade. She calmly cleaved the claw from the creature and latched it to her belt as a trophy for later. "<Varuth, guide on the Great Path, accept this trophy as a token of my devotion to you; that you may give me strength and wisdom to lead my friends and I to safety, no matter the perils.>" She turns to attention to the injured woman on the floor and examines her, looking for injuries.

Other than that she has some scratching across her face and torso, but nothing quite as serious. MM Note: Loot added to the end of the fight post, thanks for the reminder! Quote

This damn goo is killing people now, and we ain't done nothin' but bunker down and wait for it to happen. I'm not sure that Ed realizes that even if we get out of this mess, Hart higher-ups are going to eviscerate us for what we've done to this shipment. There's no bright sides to this one anymore. Best we can do is get a message out of this damn nebula and tell 'em where their packages are. 'Could tell 'em to bring guns, too. And tell 'em to hurry. The way I see it, we can still get everyone off this ship. If we can act now, then the folks who have died will at least have died for something; we get our customers what they ordered, make sure this goo is dealt with, and get Greenlaw's research somewhere it can actually be used. I, for one, doubt that good ol' Valenciai has the sum total of... whatever this thing is. Someone on the other side could serve to learn from whatever we've done out here. It came up in the mess hall earlier today, and I confess I maybe got a bit louder than I should, but it seems like folks agree. 'M gonna talk to Gail about it and see if we can't come up with some sorta action plan. Anything's gotta be better than the nothing Ed has been doing. <09/04|1606> [Personal Recording: Chief Engineer Ernest McSorley] Gods damnit, Ed. He's going to blow the whole ship. Valencia'll disappear like a blip on a radar and no one will know what happened. This is what happens, you old fool. You hum and you haw... I know you tried your best, tried to put the crew first. Ya' always figured you were protecting them, doing your damn hardest to get them out of the way of whatever imminent threat seemed to loom over them. Angry mercs? Dangerous nebulae? Some angry goo? But ya never were one for the long-term plan. So when the goin' gets tough you hold back, trying to find the golden road that'll lead you out of the mess you've made. But sometimes it just don't exist. Sometimes you just gotta make a sacrifice right now to make sure the long-term goes better for you. If we made the call from day one, we could have had a Hart rescue party here to clear out the cargo and the crew. But you didn't want to risk anyone else getting hurt... you and your damn bleedin' heart. Now we're all gonna die. I guess we're swapping roles, now, Ed - because there's no way I'm lettin' all these people's families take the loss as you make this call. But I ain't gonna stand and wait, either. Time for some drastic action. <09/05|1523> [Interior Recording: Engineer Artemis Callaghan, Chief Engineer Ernest McSorley] You called me here, Chief? So, the cap'n has called on us to build him a bomb. He wants someone to go back to Delta and rig something to the power shipments that'll blow Valencia to smithereens. 'Take this alien thing with it. But... that'll kill all us, too! Of that I am aware. Which is where I want your unique skills... We're gonna build him a bomb, but one we can retrofit into a signal booster. We'll send a message out to Hart command and see if we can't get a rescue craft in here before we decide to go with the nuclear option. I just can't believe... was there some sort of meeting? He can't just decide to do that, can he? We're all doin' the best we can. Stay with me, Callaghan - can you mock something like that up? A bomb that can act as a comm relay... I'll see what I can. Be snappy, Callaghan. Time isn't exactly on our side for this one. Quote
