Test time 0003

Asyd kicked the thing's leg to make sure it was dead, after setting her rifle back to single shot, and carefully aiming for it's head.

Gaius
test time: 0002

The creatures don't even flinch from the flash and boom of the shotgun. They swarm towards Gaius, arms flailing at him, but he is able to beat back the attack as they try to crush him between them and the wall, dodging under blows at his face and shoving at the creatures with his gun.

Mir
test time: 0015

The hallway is perfectly empty in all directions as far as Mir can see

Asyd
test time: 0003

The creature makes no reaction to the kick, other than to ooz a bit more blood.

0015

Mir pauses for a moment to peer down the darkened hall to the right, then back to the elevator to the left. "Ok, I can take a hint," he says. He walks up to the elevator and thumbs the call button, backing up quickly and aiming his shotgun at the doors.

Asyd grimaced, then carefully entered the hallway, rapidly checking both directions as she stepped out of the room.

Test Time 0002

Gaius thrusts his bayonet at the creature in front of him, catching it in the head. Not stopping to assess the damage he swings at the next, missing wildly. If I can just keep them off long enough to get away.

Asyd
0003

The hallway was only a few paces long, and opened out onto what seemed to be a public street. Sunlight bathed the entire area in golden rays...and shambling, moaning figures dotted the roadways. The buildings on either side of the street seemed plucked right our of a major metropalous. To either side, Asyd could make out several dozen of the walking dead, though none seemed aware of her, or anything more than a few feet away as they shuffled around aimlessly. No two creatures were closer than a dozen meters, and the nearest abomination to Asyd was twice that away.

Gaius
0002

Gaius's thrust lops off the monster's ear, and a good deal of it's face. It staggers, swinging wildly through a spray of blood. It and the creature beside it both hit nothing but air as they attack, but the final creature drops low, and catches Gaius with a glancing blow to the leg.

Seruatka
0000

The darkness lifts as Seruatka come to, his head throbbing slightly. As consciousness returns, he finds himself laying in a small room he's never seen before, with no memory of how he arrived there. A single fluorescent bulb lights the tiny space, revealing the scarce features; a single metal door set into the far wall, a backpack laying on the floor nearby, and a long, metal floor locker wedged into a corner. As Seruatka gets to his feet there is a static crackle, and a computerized voice spills from some hidden speaker in the ceiling.

The calm, soothing female voice states in precise, clipped tones, " Beta test initiating, batch one activated, subjects have two minutes to prepare. Look for the circles. Good luck." As the voice fades, a digital display lights up on the electronic lock set in the door, a bright red 2:00 appearing. As the numbers begin to count down, a new sound reaches Seruatka's ears, a low, menacing growling, coming just from the other side of the metal door. A sudden blow makes the door ring like a dull gong, and the sharp scrapping sound of nails, or claws, drawn across metal follows as the numbers continue to count down. There is a sharp click, and the floor locker pops open, revealing a pair of long objects within, a gleaming sword, and a rugged looking autogun. More blows rain against the door as the timer draws nearer and nearer to zero.

Test Time 0000

"What in the Warp?" Seruatka swore aloud, looking franticaly around the room. He hadn't a clue as to how he had arrived here, though he doubted it was voluntary. He rushed over to the weapons as the pounding on the door increased in volume. Whatever it was, he doubted it was friendly. Quickly he buckled the sword's scabbard around his waist, and raised the autogun to aim it at the door, waiting for whatever was outside to enter.

Mir
0015

The elevator doors open almost instantly, and there is a scream from within. A young girl, no more than 16, scrambles off the floor, a knife clenched in a small fist. She throws herself back against the rear of the elevator car, the knife held at the ready. Though she herself trembles violently, the knife is perfectly steady.

Seruatka
0002

The door flies open as soon as the lock clicks open, a man standing in the doorway. He is dressed in filthy, blood rags, his hair matted and manic with dried gore. He grins savagely, a long tongue running lewdly over his lips. A rusted, blood smeared axe is gripped in one hand, which he raises. " Lovely..." he mutters softly. " I was feeling a might hungry."

Mir blinks, checking back over his shoulder quickly before turning back to the girl. He lowers his shotgun and takes a few steps towards her. "Hey little lady, I ain't gonna hurt ya. Just calm down. What's going on?"

Gaius 0002

Gaius lets out a yell as the creatures claws rake over his leg but lets out a triumphant bellow as his return stroke rips the monsters left arm from it's body, sending it tumbling to the floor in a heap.

Mir
0015

" Stay back!" The girl half screams, and an electric arc flares down the knife blade, humming ominously. The girl is clearly terrified. She also has the look of a person who has not been eating well, she is a tiny girl as it is, and her body looks almost skeletal under a dirty outfit of what seems to be sleepwear. Her red hair is unevenly cut, short, and parts of it look burned. Her eyes are green, and very wide.

Giaus
0002

Even as their comrad falls in a spray of blood, the remaining creatures attack, but their blows rake through empty air.

Mir holds his hands up. "Whoa there. I don't mean you any harm little miss." Mir stood there for a moment, unsure how to talk to her. "You look hungry, want something to eat?"

"What the frak?" Seruatka swore in surprise. Not waiting for an answer, he quickly snapped the autogun up and neatly put a pair of shots through the maniac's skull.

Mir
0015

The girl's eyes remained wide and scared, but she made an involuntary swallowing motion at the mention of food, and some of the tension seemed to go out of her shoulders. She slowly slid over to the coner of the elevator, hunching down, the knife lowered slightly to rest her arm across her knees as watched Mir closely.

Seruatka
0002

The shots tore the top of the man's head off, brains and gore spraying in a fountain to coat the ceiling of the room. The manical smile remained on what was left of his face though, even as he toppled slowly backwards to fall spread eagle on the ground, jaws gaping in a way that Seruatka could see through the hole that had been the roof of his mouth.

Mir took a quick look back down the hallway before transferring his shotgun to his left hand and using his right to unlimber his backpack and pull out a ration pack. "I can't guarantee how good it is, but it's food. I think." He tossed it to the girl, watching it land in the elevator near her.
