    12 KB Zerg Quest Spooky Holiday Edition! Cerebrate Anon 10/27/10(Wed)21:14 No.12594005  
    Welcome to the Zerg Quest Scary Halloween Extravaganza!

    While I'm sure you were all hoping for some more horrible rapefic now that Bernie is back, Cerebrate Anon already promised Spooky Zerg for this week, and he's sticking to it. Also, he continues to wail and gnash his teeth that such a thing happened at all.

    ANYWAY!

    Since the Zerg fear no one, you will not be playing as a Zerg. That would be silly.

    You will be playing Crucis Dyles, Master Sergeant in the Confederate Army. You are in your quarters on Vyctor 5, in the settlement of Lockston.

    It is dark. A small electronic chirp is coming from your desk.
    >> The Eager Zergling 10/27/10(Wed)21:15 No.12594022
    Oh my!
    =D
    Lol, well find out what the chirp is then.

    You curse lightly, being awoken at--you check the clock display--0225 in the damn morning. You reach over and feel around the desk until you feel your small comm unit.

    You drag the unit to your face and grimace again as the holographic controls pop up, shining in your eyes. It's a call from Corporal Fallone, the officer on command duty for the night.

    You could take the call, and be dragged into whatever Fallone thinks he can't handle, which may be nothing, or you can roll over and get some more sleep. You have to be up at 0830 for a meeting with the civilian governor, and he's a real chipper morning-person type.

    You select the "Accept" option.

    Fallone: "Sarge, I'm sorry to wake you."
    You: "There'd better be an entire Zerg Brood falling out of the sky, Fallone. You know I have to meet Merz in the morning. What?"
    Fallone: "You're not far off, Sarge."

    You: "You'd best explain fast, Corporal. Either you're fucking with me, or you've doomed us all by not sounding the alarm."
    Fallone: "It may not...have come to that, yet, sir. You...you should probably come to CentOps."

    We cut the line, knowing he won't say anything else. Godamnit, Fallone. He's not a bad soldier, but he's got some weird-ass ideas about how things work. He's shown General-level expertise from time to time, but sometimes he acts like he thinks his whole career is just one of those military dramas you see in the vids.

    Alright, so we're going to CentOps. Are we going to treat this as a military matter, with uniform and sidearm, or are we just going to go see what he's worried about? We'll have to put some pants on, no matter what. We've never had a good experience before 0600 that required us to wear pants.

    If this might be a zerg encounter, we best armor up and come prepared.
    Even if it still is on base. I would rather have armor between me and a zergling than nothing. Yes a side arm too. But skip the fancy preparations, just get the basics ready.

    We aren't sure the armor's necessary. Sure, there's an emergency outfitter in our quarters (the damn thing takes up half the room), but if we show up at CentOps in full armor and this turns out to be a suspicious fire alarm, that's going to be a full two hours to get back out of the suit for nothing.

    It's probably better to take the uniform, or just go informal.

    You consider the situation for a moment before you come to a decision. If Fallone's dealing with a real situation, things could go south real fast, and we may need to suit up. If Fallone's woken us up in the middle of the night for nothing, it won't hurt to have the ability to strangle the life out of him with two fingers. A little buzz at the base of your skull reminds you that such thoughts are counterproductive to a command mentality. You try not to escalate things by thinking about the neural implant in your head.

    You activate the outfitter and step in. This may take a few minutes longer than slapping on the uniform, but it could very well save your life.

    <><><><>

    A little later, the second doorframe to your quarters opens, allowing your much larger form through. You clomp toward CentOps. Right now, you only have your sidearm, but you could easily pick up a Gauss rifle at CentOps, should the need arise.

    As CentOps' doors grind their way open, you see Fallone standing in the central platform, reserved for the officer in command. He turns as you enter, and his eyes go wide when he sees that you are in full combat armor. The night shift staff all stare at you as if they've just been told they're being sent into combat.

    You clomp up to the central platform, standing at eye level with the freakishly tall Fallone.

    "Fallone, report!" You bark, with all the gruff command of a Master Sergeant who's been woken up in the middle of the night.

    "S-sir. We've gotten a set of contacts in the Fujita transit tunnels."

    He pauses, as if wondering if we understand. We do. The Fujita Pinnacle is a huge-ass storm that just stays in place about 50 leagues from here. It once housed a Confederate testing ground for what you've recently been informed were captured Zerg. It was there that the Confederacy made the basic technical advances necessary to build the Psi Disruptor that Chancellor Kingston used to nearly destroy the Zerg.

    The facility itself is rubble, now. The Sons of Korhol raided it a few years ago, and trashed it. Unfortunately, a lot of the labs that held the Zerg were underground. The complex was massive. The Confederacy left a military presence at Lockston, the only other settlement on Vyctor, to watch the transit tunnels in case any survivors, Terran or Zerg, ever made their way out.

    One needed to be debriefed. The other needed to be destroyed. If there are contacts in the tunnels, you may very well be commanding a Zerg extermination squad tonight.

    Should you ask Fallone for more info? Leap into action? Inform Merz, the civilian governor?

    >(Good questions)

    This is not the first time you've had contacts. The week you were transferred to this post, a group of four survivors made their way into the tunnels. They had been on the far side of the complex, and had had to dig their way out with hand tools. It's no wonder it took them years to do that, especially since they had no food. Command hadn't seen fit to ask what they ate to survive, but you foolishly had. The hollow-eyed scientist had just looked you in the eye and told you that their group had originally consisted of twenty-three survivors.

    Then again, three weeks ago, the sensors were set off by a very large rat, which was now kept in the soldiers' cafeteria. The enlisted men called it the Megalisk. To be fair, that rat was almost the size of a small rottweiler.

    With that in mind, sounding the alarm might be premature.

    >>12594570
    >>12594579
    You crossly inform Fallone that this had better not be another rat. He quietly transfers the display to your HUD. The sensor wasn't really made for military applications. It's a simple proximity sensor to help confirm that the now-decommed train had reached its destination successfully. It stays lit, indicating that something is nearby. It seems to you that whatever just found its way into the tunnel is just hanging out. Perhaps it's another Terran, resting from digging.

    Confederate standing policy is that the Fujita Facility never existed. Technically speaking, this is classified as a maintenance tunnel for a waste runoff control valve.

    You are not officially meant to guard it. It's all off the books. Your predecessor told you your orders in person, in private, when you relieved her: "Play nice with the locals and watch the tunnel. If the sensor goes off, find out who it is. If it's people, they go into the brig for drunkenness until Intelligence makes them disappear. If they're Zerg, blow 'em to hell before they kill the locals, and put any soldiers that can't keep their mouths shut in the brig for drunkenness until Intelligence makes them disappear. Intelligence's number is 225 Epsilon. If you call before anything's happened, you disappear. If you call after shit's gone down, you disappear. If you call on time, maybe you get to retire and never tell anybody about this ever. Good luck, son."

    Sending anybody into the Facility without a specific mission from Intelligence is...unwise.

    >>12594736
    Technically speaking, no. However, there is a man who seems to be at the bar just outside the barracks at all hours, with a high-powered rifle, combat harness, and a duffel bag that we're pretty sure contains the rest of a ghost's equipment. Our predecessor introduced him to us as "Kilroy." She said he was an independent contractor, should we ever have need. We never asked exactly what kind of contracts he carried out.

    >>12594741
    There are two more sensors in the tunnels, one at 10 leagues away, and one at the mouth of the tunnel on this end. Neither registers anything. That is all.

    We are going to this tunnel because it is empty and it is out of the way. It is convenient. That is all anyone needs to know.

    And if we happen to run into humans then it was a coincidence.

    You reply with what you know is audible malevolence.

    "It is NOT necessary, Corporal Fallone, but following your exemplary handling of Night Shift Command, I believe you have earned the right to a little jog to loosen your muscles. You, three marines, and two firebats, in full combat gear, are to go out to this sensor, evaluate the situation, and report back to me on a private comm signal. This is a readiness drill, and right now, you don't see ready, Corporal."

    His face grows dark, and he gives a choppy salute that looks like it could pass for a rude gesture if he wanted it to. He leaves to carry out our orders.

    The support staffers are all resocs who weren't qualified for combat duty. Most of them are serving longer sentences for that reason. Personally, you think serving two years in combat duty has to be better than six years filing papers. Since technically, the Confederate Military presence at Lockston is a liason for any Science Division geeks who want to study the Fujita Pinnacle, their day-to-day work is...unremarkable. None of them are supposed to know about the tunnel, or its importance, but most of them have heard the rumors. Hell, some of the civvies in the town have heard the rumors.

    There are about 175 military men on-planet, with about 100 of them rated for real combat. Lockston is a city that doesn't really have a purpose. It's population is about 2,000, and drops each time an automatic census sweep comes in.

    After a few minutes, Fallone reports his departure with his team. The sensor for this end of the tunnel lights up, then shuts off. A moment later, the sensor at the center of the tunnel lights up, as well. The sensor at the far end shuts off.

    You tell Fallone to get the hell out of there. He wholeheartedly agrees, and closes the channel as he shouts orders to his squad.

    You begin ordering the soldiers to fortify the entrance to the tunnel. One or two of them asks why we're worried about a bug hole, but their buddies quickly explain to them (in the colorful idioms of their rank) why that's an unenlightened question.

    The support staff, for their part, ask no questions. They immediately begin organizing the fortification. You send a runner for Kilroy, to tell him we may have some contract work for him.

    Should you call Intelligence? Technically, you have no contact with survivors or Zerg, yet. You don't want to disappear if this turns out to be nothing.

    (Two to one. No call)

    You hold off on calling Intelligence. You really don't want to know what happens when those people disappear. You'd rather just stay ignorant.

    Fallone seems to have taken command of the fortifications. He is relaying information to you as the troops set up a barricade, and aim whatever they can find at it. Most of the autoguns and other mounted defenses were removed when the Facility was destroyed, but there are two small turrets in front of the line.

    Of course, against 50,000 Zerg, the men won't last more than 60 seconds.

    Anticipation pulses through your veins thicker than blood. This could very well be the last day of your life.

    An electronic chirp from your comm makes you jump, which thankfully just causes you to bump the inside of your helmet. You don't think you actually activated any of the suit's servos. Maybe nobody saw.

    You answer the call, and Kilroy's voice comes over.

    Couldn't these sensor hit patterns also be accomplished by a much smaller group of fast units? 10 leagues of zerg could do that thing, but if the sensors are just there to tell that something's near them, then we could be fooled by a handful of whatevers instead of an army.

    You continue, ordering him to call 225 Epsilon and tell them what's happened if anything goes wrong. He interrupts you.

    After a brief moment, we realize the neural implant has been buzzing like mad since we decided to go into the tunnel. And that Fallone woke us up.

    "You're right, Corporal. Assemble a fire squad and get in there."

    Kilroy rolls his eyes.

    "Mr. Fallone, I'd like to volunteer to take point on your team. In fact, I'd love to be your advance scout. You can follow, say, 2 leagues behind, now?"

    You grumble, but allow Kilroy to lead. And by lead, you really mean you're letting him go in alone, like you had planned earlier.

    It still pisses you off. You walk away from the line and lean against a doorframe. Kilroy's voice comes over the comm.

    "Approaching approximate contact location. Silent running engaged. Cloak initiating."

    We wait for a moment.

    I just thought of something. What if there are only like 50 or 60 zerg in the tunnel and the reason the sensor stayed on was because of some of the sick zerg milling about by the sensor while others moved forward? the fact that the one sensor only turned off when the central one turned on was just a coincidence.

    You tell Kilroy about the timetable. You don't tell him you've been ordered to have him open fire. Instead, you tell him to hoof it back to the fortifications.

    Fallone isn't happy about the idea of mining the tunnel. He seems to think it's not honorable. We tell him exactly where his honor can snugly fit.

    Kilroy calls ahead. He says he won't reach the fortifications before the Zerg. He may have to try to run through the crossfire to get out.

    Let's not be too hasty. If we blow the tunnel and there really are 30K zerg then they'll just dig their way out, possibly in an area we are not watching. We should have charges prepared but not use them until we are in danger of being over run. We have a good killing field set up and the zerg can only come at us from one direction and only so many at a time.

    Kilroy is about 150 feet from the mouth of the tunnel when the Zerg come through. The autoguns fire first, as you tell your men to hold their fire. The Zerg...do not act normally. They throw themselves at the guns; that part is normal. What's unusual is that they don't attack. It's like they're committing suicide.

    As bodies cover the guns, their fire stops hitting new zerg that come out of the tunnel. Just as Kilroy steps out, your men initiate defensive fire. Kilroy hops deftly out of the way, decloaking as he moves to an open spot on the line.

    The first zerg past the autoguns are approaching melee range with your line.

    This is happening much too fast. You don't want to lose people, especially not this early. It's obvious that this was a bad idea.

    You bring up the demo controls in your HUD. You immediately and unrepentantly activate the charges.

    Unfortunately, part of retinal control schemes is the requirement that your eyes be open to operate them. This is especially bad if you are facing toward a tunnel when a large amount of explosives goes off inside of it.

    The light blinds you for a moment, and you are also briefly deafened.

    But you still hear the screams. In your mind. The screams of a thousand--a dozen thousand--living beings being killed all at once. It echoes through your thoughts, deafening your mind as surely as the blast deafened your ears.
