You grip his shoulder and knee him in the chest, forecfully. You had to hold on as to not lose your momentum. He didn't seem arsed. Out of panic you lash your legs out and begin pushing away from him.

He drops you, you tumble to the ground. You helmet cracks. Your ankle twists as you flop and lay on your side. You glance at the hole in the top of your helmet, you couldn't escape now. Unless you held your breath. That wouldn't work. You were fucked. You turn over and look up at him, standing right in front of you. A sky scraper of a creature, broad and chiseled. You slowly take your helmet off, placing it beside you. You scan his face as you do so. He squints, looking you up and down as you pause. You wanted to see you if you could fool him into giving you a few seconds head start. You slowly stand up. Looking at him once more.

You dart through the doorway, where the beheaded engineer is. You run past him, then frantically you shove canisters over. You look behind you, he was right behind you. You scream, shoving one over, he clenches the scruff of your neck and swings you into his other arm. Tightly clamped to his side, you don't admit defeat. You continue wriggling. You were pinned to his left side, his right arm free. You pant, crying too. "LET ME GO" you shriek, bashing your arms around and shoving his arm down. He shuts the door. Just in time too, snake like creatures were slithering from the black goo towards you both. You look up at him, he looked furious. You kick out a few more times before giving yourself a break. You obviously had made no progress, but you wanted to try. You were dead, what more had you to do?
