Hi everybody,
We drove over in a APC to investigate the crash site we had recorded from a couple of weeks ago. By the looks of the tracks, someone or a Sinth had gotten out more or less intact and rode off in an APC. We got back to our main base to find the Comms Array destroyed!
We went inside and were jumped on by critters we had not seen before, waiting in the control room to ambush us. More stress! I hit one with a pistol and Cowboy hit it with a minigun blast. The next turn, I got hit with a panic attack and dropped my pistol! Cowboy shot it and then we legged it, losing three guys to face huggers as we did so. We locked the outer hatch and did a runner, lucky to escape in one piece.
We made our way to another part of the planet in the shuttle and APC, where we met up with a science expedition from Hadley's Hope that had been out of touch with what had been going on, as their com unit had gone on the fritz ages ago, loyaly, they had decided to carry on with their mission. (This may be specific to us, don't count on it happening to you!).
JAME'S PERSONAL LOG - "I think our Cowboy is suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, as he has just ordered us, against our pleas to dissuade him from this idea, to put together a low yield nuclear bomb, which he intends to drop on our main base from the shuttle, to get rid of the aliens infesting it. With misgivings, The Doc and I complete the weapon........."
To be continued.
Regards all,
Ivor Cogdell
P.S. No Alien for the last couple of weeks as I was at an "Alestorm" concert at the O2 Academy and later came down with a cold - See "In the Wars 4".
