4679 12th Omega P.H.F
93,716 years before Human Recorded History
2143 military standard time
Sere Cursed. She was dangerously low on carbine ammo. Saran had helped her out and it came to the point were she had to fire bursts to make kills. She read her ammo counter
50 rounds. Out of a clip of 250 rounds, she was down to a fifth and she had no extras. She shouldered it again and fired a five round burst that shredded an infected Zurian's chest. It dropped dead as the controlling ranger died as well. She looked at the other door and fired two bursts. They killed another Zurian and destroyed 32 rangers.
"Hurry it up Saran!" she said and scanned the room. He mumbled something and then a click sounded. She looked up and the ceiling as the main overhead lights came on. Saran was busy navigating the mainframe and activating everything. She heard another flood related sound and took aim once more.
Auren saw the lights come on and tried calling Sere. Kess was winded as they had sprinted across three rooms of hungry flood all looking for Zurian.
"Janice! Where the hell are you?" He said impatiently into the comm.
"Don't exactly know but we're surrounded!" She yelled. Auren swore.
"Drop a NAV point! We'll get to you ASAP!" He yelled. A NAV point was dropped 200 meters away from him.
Sere felt the carbine rounds enter her body and shred her organs and other related internal damage. She weakly raised the carbine and shot the flood that shot her. Then blackness took her.
Saran looked behind him and drew his pistol. He blew away 8 flood and destroyed numerous infection forms. He reloaded and took aim. He looked down and saw the pool of crimson that surrounded Sere's white armored form. He felt his heart skip a beat and the blood drain out of his face.
"Sir! I need back up NOW!" He screamed into his mike and pulled his carbine out. He screamed and set his Carbine on full auto and let loose. The flood were taken back by this sudden assault as the pinpoint accuracy tore them to shreds. Finally a flood with a Z77 fired a type 1 rocket and Saran was bathed in fire and he died in a hell storm.
Auren watched as his last medic's bio-monitors flat lined as well as Saran's. Fuck! We're Screwed to hell! He thought. He entered the room where Janice and the other soldier were. Flood corpses were scattered in piles and they were above them.
"Sir!" Janice waved and then jumped down. Kalen followed suit.
"New orders. Saran and Sere are dead. We on the other hand are alive. I hope to keep it that way. We are to move to the top level and evac. Understand?" They nodded. "Now move out!" He spun on his heel and left the way he came. They proceeded to the 1st level where he could hear the normal reports. He listened to the calm for a few minutes, knowing in that in 5 minutes, all hell would break loose. He clicked on his comm.
"This is Corporal Auren Deyros! We have a Code Omega Red situation! The Flood has broken their containment! All members are presumed to be infected. I have only three squad members left! We need immediate evacuation!" he clicked it off. He listened to the silence as everyone took in what he just said.
"Corporal! Repeat that now!" somebody important said furiously, thinking he was crazy or something. "Yes sir! We have a Code Omega Red Situation. The flood has broken their containment. All except a partial squad have been infected. All the senior officers started swearing and then the first voice came back.
"Corporal, I have an area map of your position. There is a hill 254 meters counter-spin (left) in your area. However, I'm getting not friendly contacts in that general area."
"Yes sir! We'll be there for evac!" He said. He didn't like the hill but it will have to do.
"Hold on now, There is the Library 300 meters Core-ward (north). There are large open areas and only one small pass to get to it. It's a straight shot. There are not as many contacts along that route. I'm sending a drop-ship into the airspace around those two points, get to the top of either and call in." The voice snapped off.
"You heard that! Now let's move to the tower! Keep your eyes glued to your scopes and keep full clips. If we get overwhelmed, just sprint to the tower. Now let's move!"
