Pvt Stanley (the manly) swept his bolter to the left, shining his flashlight around in the dark interior of the space hulk. It was cold. and the only visible light now was coming from the end of the flashlights they all carried. Sergeant Wallace looked the whole room over, made sure everyone was checking their corners.
"alright lads, lets get moving. Stan, you're on point!" With that the squad made their way to a nearby corridor and suddenly the cavernous hangar, gave way to the immensely crammed hallways. In full gear, they had to move single file. Lance Corporal Ohjay was last in line. The sound of his heavy combat boots sounded impossibly loud with every step, but speed was of the essence. They'd all heard the stories. Stories of genestealers, or orks, or things even worse, from beyond the grasp of reality itself. The only way they were going to survive, was if they packed enough firepower. And considering firepower was Ohjay's specialty as the demolitions expert, he hoped that at least he would survive.
suddenly a loud hiss burst from a nearby chamber. The team froze as a flicker of light came from behind. Ohjay swung his shotgun left towards the light, while Stan and Wallace moved up to investigate the hiss. Ohjay raised his hand to block the light, his eyes so used to the dark now. once his eyes adjusted he finally realized what it was. "Corporal Nicholas! get over here!" he shouted.
Wallace and Stan both pressed themselves as hard against the walls of the ship as humanly possible. They were about to round the corner where they heard the loud hiss. Stan crouched down, and Wallace gave him the tap confirming he too was ready, and together they rounded the corner. There was nothing. In the distance they heard Ohjay yell something, so they turned back to see what the matter was, when a nearby pipe let forth a belch of steam, making them both jump a foot. It was the old damaged pipe all along. Sergeant Wallace and Private Stanley both arrived to Ohjay and Nicholas bent over a computer screen that was somehow still powered. Nicholas inserted his mechanicus data chip, and downloaded what he could from the files.
"We should be able to repower the whole ship, at least the vessel we're currently in. all we have to do is make our way to engineering. Once there we can control the life support systems, maybe even get some lights turned on." explained Nicholas.
"but first we gotta scrap those civies.' Wallace reminded them. 'So lets get the lead out and get it done."
