Check the old guy in that pic Hawk. He looks like the kind of guy who'd sit in his rocking chair all day with a gun in his hand.

[i]Ok, here we go. Picking this up where we left off.[/i]

[b]Hawaii, 5:37 am[/b]

The large doors slid open with a resounding thud. Peering into the inky blackness beyond, Fallen waved her squad through, switching on her headlamp as she did so.

"Commander," reported Fallen through her comm. link, "still no hostiles detected. We have successfully breached the outer doors. The drop ship should have access to the landing bay shortly."

"Roger that," replied Denis, "Skyranger is standing by. We'll make one more pass around the perimeter to watch for activity."

"Understood," said Fallen, "over and out."

They had reached the hangar control room without incident. Not a single alien to be seen. It was as if the whole place was deserted and the eerie silence it put her on edge.

"Give me a second to patch in," said Logan, placing a small laptop on the dashboard and plugging it into one of several ports.

"Just one second... there!"

The hanger doors opened with a shudder, early morning light spilling into the cavernous bay. With a scream of turbines and rushing of air, the Skyranger touched down, troops spilling out of her no sooner had the landing gear hit the pad.

"Breach that lift," ordered Denis, "Will, you're on point."

Will entered the gravity lift and was immediately sucked down into the room below. A few weighted seconds passed without a sound and then-

"All clear," Will's voiced crackled through the radio, "the place seems empty. I'm not picking up any signs of life. At any rate, we're good."

"Everyone move through," ordered Denis, "hug the walls and keep on your guard."

The two teams fanned out, slowly progressing through the dimly lit hallways.

[img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/X-COM/base-2.jpg[/img]

"I dunno," said Chesh, "this is just too weird. There isn't even a single trace of-"

She was violently knocked to the floor as a burst of plasma burned into the back of her armored suit. Suddenly the tight corridors were alive with gunfire as both sides opened up upon one another. Explosions rocked the narrow hallways, blowing apart walls as well as bodies. When the smoke cleared five aliens lay dead, their bodies twisted and charred.

"We got Floaters," said Denis, prodding at one of the bodies with his foot, "Sound off! Who've we got?"

"Chesh took a hit," said Gray, helping her back to her feet.

"I'm ok," she said, "this new armor really lives up to the expectations of - LOOK OUT!"

[img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/X-COM/base-3.jpg[/img]

Pushing Gray to the ground, Chesh squeezed the trigger on her auto cannon, dropping a Reaper that had lunged out from the shadows. As if on cue, a second attack began, catching one poor soldier in the crossfire as plasma scoring ripped through him. Brian is thrown against the wall as an energy pod behind him erupts into flames.

"Move!" shouted Denis to his team, "down that corridor! Now!"

Under fire, Denis and his team advanced down the narrow passage, towards what the recon schematics suggest was the base's control center. And from the fight these guys were putting up, Denis had to guess that their assumption was correct.

[img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/X-COM/base-4.jpg[/img]

Moving her squad into a side passage, Fallen continued to fire into the Floater's position. A well placed grenade wiped up the last of them and, as suddenly as it had begun, the eerie silence returned.

"God, I hate this place," muttered Powtaz, "I think its even worse when there's no loud noises."

"You think that's bad," commented Kate with a shudder, "come look at this."

All turned in shocked awe at the scene in front of them. The room they had entered was, as were all the others, poorly lit. Unlike the others, it expanded out on all sides, the ceiling high above them. And lining the room in neat little rows was a most grotesque display. Tubes, dozens of them. Filled to the brim with a strange opaque liquid. And floating in them, all manners of horrid forms. Mutilated cow heads. Various organs and tissues. People. Twisted and deformed, their faces frozen in screams of abject terror.

"God damn," said Gray staring into one of the tubes, "its like some fucked up bug collection. What the hell is this?"

[img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/X-COM/base-5.jpg[/img]

As Fallen's team moved through the room, Denis and his men arrived at a twin pair of doors. Ornate designs danced across their surface and a distinct humming could be heard within.

"I think this is the place," said Will, shouldering his rifle, "shall we?"

***

"Hostile!" yelled Kate, blowing a Floaters head in two at point blank range.

"Heh, fucker," chuckled Powtaz, "I'd spit on his corpse if I weren't vacuumed packed into this damn suit-"

Powtaz was flung to the ground as plasma arched off his helmet. Kate fired back, catching the alien squarely in the chest. Turning, she watched Powtaz scramble to his knees, scraping at the visor in desperation.

"GET IT OFF!" he screamed as his helmet filled with liquids, THE FUCKING COOLANT BURST! GET IT OFF!!!"

He yanked at his helmet franticly, the suit's coolant liquid rising rapidly past his mouth, his nose, stinging his eyes. But the helmet was stuck tight, welded in place by the cooling plasma. Flailing, he slammed himself into the floor, trying to break the visor even as his lungs filled with liquid. His body gave one final jerk, and lay still.

***

With a rush of air, the ornate doors slid open. Peering inside, Denis saw several computers lining the walls and a grav lift leading up to a room above. No aliens seemed present.

"Clear," he said, "Chesh, you're on point."

"Rodger that, sir," she said as she and two others stepped into the room, "I'll go up the lift and report back to you."

"We'll watch your back from down here," said Will as the doors closed shut behind her. Both he and Denis were immediately thrown against the far wall as an explosion rocked the entire corridor. The doors bulged outwards before being flung across the hallway, the roof caving in from above as the inner walls were torn asunder.

Shaking his head, Will brushed debris form his shoulders as his view came back into focus.

"What happened?" he said, "what the hell hap-"

His breath was cut short as he stared in horror at the object lying in his lap. With shaking hands, he held Chesh's charred forearm up to his eye level, the fingers still twitching as its nerve endings fired and died.

"Oh fuck me," he said, his voice nothing more than a raspy whisper.

"FUCK ME!!!" he screamed, scrambling up against the wall in a panic, the arm still clenched in his fist, "oh fuck! Oh fuck! She's dead. They're dead. We're all fucking dead!"

"Get a hold of yourself, soldier!" ordered Denis, grabbing Will and pulling him to his feet, "Yes, they're dead, ok? And there is nothing you can do for them. But we still have a job to do! So fucking shape up!"

Will steadied himself, leaning against the wall for support.

"Yes sir," he said, his subdued, "sorry sir."

He shouldered his rifle once again, straightening up and gritting his teeth.

"That's more like it," said Denis, "now, they have that lift well guarded, but with all this smoke I doubt they will be able to see us coming. I want you positioned on the left side. I'm going to toss up a flash bang, after which we will both move up the shaft and try to take them out in the confusion. On my count, ready?"

They moved into the blown out room. Bodies, or pieces of bodies, at any rate, littered the floor. Will thought he thought he could recognize Chesh; her auto canon melted and fused to the blackened torso of a smoking body, but there was no way to be sure. Pushing all thoughts out of his mind, he focused on the task at hand.

Denis pulled the pin from the grenade, tossing it up the shaft. The resulting bang and surprised screams of aliens sounded their cue. Stepping into the lift, both soldiers were whisked upward into the room above.

***

Kate stumbled backwards and slid down the wall, leaving behind her a glistening streak of red.

"We're getting slaughtered!" shouted Logan, shooting yet another Floater. But no matter how many they killed, more seemed to come to take their place.

"We have to move! Did you hear me Kate?"

Logan turned to Kates slumped form, still and lifeless against the wall. Cursing under his breath, he dove for the safety of the adjacent corridor, Brain and Fallen hot on his heels.

"Who's still with us?" called Fallen, quickly taking stock of the situation.

"We're it!" replied Brian, firing into the room.

"Fallen to Denis!" yelled Fallen of the din of gunfire, "sir we are being ass-fucked down here! What is you're position? Over."

"We found the commander," replied Denis, letting the alien's lifeless body flop back onto the deck, "attempted capture was a failure. I suggest immediate evac."

"No can do," returned Fallen, "we are cut off. Short of entirely wiping this base clean of hostiles, we can kiss our chances of a clean getaway goodbye!"

"Fall back into the center of the base," ordered Denis, "we'll regroup there."

"Move it!" shouted Fallen, "and watch for hostiles flanking form adjacent hallways."

"This place is nothing BUT hallways!" replied Logan in frustration, shooting another alien as they fell back.

[img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/X-COM/base-8.jpg[/img]

The remnants of the two squads met in the middle, among an assortment of writhing plants. An alien greenhouse right in the middle of the base.

"Christ," said Brian, moving through the dank interior, "its like Tim Burrtons botanical garden from hell."

"Logan, Brian, you two are on point," said Denis, "Gray, watch our rear. We came to do a job, and we're damn well going to finish it."

Will stepped around a corner, ducking back as plasma fire streaked by his head. Again the corridors were lit up with green light as aliens poured in.

"Fire in the hole!" yelled Gray, yanking the pin from a grenade. Explosions rocked the foundations as aliens flew in all directions, the squad blasting away at anything that moved.

The smoke cleared on the rubble and bodies that lay strewed across the floor.

"Sound off," said Denis, dropping the spent clip from his rifle.

"Here," said Will, clutching his side.

"Still alive," reported Gray, spitting blood.

"As am I," said Fallen.

Brain waved his hand, leaning on his haunches as Logan tried to help him back onto his feet.

"This is Commander Denis, base neutralized. Attempted capture of alien higher up failed. Men wounded. Requesting evac as well as additional personnel to sweep area."

"Is that it?" said Will, "six left out of twenty?"

He whistled to himself, leaning back against the wall and closing his eyes, "Hell of a day..."
