You’re nearly at the clearing when Kei radios in again.
“Isaac, this is Kei. There’s more of those things coming and they’re trying to break in. Jack and I are going to try to make a break for it, hopefully get to Epsilon-6. Wish us luck.”
“See you at base.” Is Isaac’s reply.
And with that the radio goes silent. You have that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, and you don’t think it’s going away.
Your impromptu convoy reaches the clearing without any issues. You’re glad of that, but not so glad at the sight you find there. There’s a couple piles of flesh…things lying motionless, and burns around them that has gone all the way to the ground. There’s several puddles of water around too.
No sign of your guy. Though at least there isn’t any skinned dogs or whatever it is that attacked David here either. Isaac and Jenny are still wary though, and they both have their rifles out at the ready.
As you’re looking around you catch sight of movement deeper in the trees.
>Hey, there’s something moving over there.
Isaac and Jenny turn to look at where you’re pointing. It’s hard to make out against the gloom of the forest, but it looks like something waving.
Isaac looks at you and nods. “Let’s go.”
The three of you run off towards the movement. As you get closer you realise that it’s a man, waving. He doesn’t look too good. His clothes are torn, and his legs are covered in blood. You hope it’s not all his.
As you get closer you get a sudden bad feeling. Call it sixth sense or something but every instinct in your body is suddenly telling you to hide. You look around and you immediately catch sight of… something.
>What the fuck is that!
Isaac and Jenny immediately stop in their tracks and turn to look at what you’ve just seen, guns raised.
You’re not sure how to describe it. It’s a giant heap of flesh that’s running towards you on several legs, with arms and heads poking out all over the place. You can feel the glare of the eyes poking out from its screaming faces even from this distance. It’s even weeping an ugly liquid from sores all over its body. And that unholy scream is deafening. You can feel rage and unimaginable pain bound up in that terrible shout. There’s a dizziness in your head whenever you hear it, only broken by the shock of looking at monstrosity. That <span class="mu-r">Thing</span> is the most terrifying creature you’ve ever seen. You couldn’t even imagine such a <span class="mu-r">Thing</span> in your nightmares. And it’s running towards you like a rabid dog.
Isaac and Jenny start opening up. The rapid gunfire is deafening, but at least that <span class="mu-r">Things</span> screams are being drowned out. You can barely think, but you need to do something.
>Shoot the <span class="mu-r">Thing</span>. You can at least try to help.
>Help the man. He’s injured, and you need to get him out of here.
>Fuck this, fuck them, and fuck you. This is too much to handle. You’re booking it out of here.
>(Write in.)
