Vipers on Remnant

Chapter 6: What lies within

Harmony, Alex, Raven, Weiss and yang arrived in the ship, the infested growths covered almost every surface, the lights flickered and the cries of infested echoed off the stoic walls of the dead ship,

" Kaiden, we're on board, where are they?" Alex grunted over the radio,

"Sector 3" Kaiden responded,

"Copy, we're in sector 2, we're on our way." Alex replied before the team moved into the ship.

Kaiden Entered the medical ward with several portable terminals and a headset along with a handheld terminal to access equipment in the medical facility, Ruby and blake looked at him as he opened 2 Coffin-like machines with human shaped moulds in them and collected two syringes,

"Right, what i'm about to do is against protocol but is needed, these machines can quickly repair damaged biological material and bring whoever is in there back to health in about 1 minute, i'm doing this in case we need to charge in like the cavalry, if you're ok with this." Kaiden explained,

"Anything to ease the pain, This really hurts..." Ruby whimpered and attempted to go over to the machines,

Kaiden helped her to the machines and into the mould in one of them and then grabbed a syringe,

"This is going to hurt a little, ready?" Kaiden asked and Ruby nodded, Kaiden pressed the syringe into her arm and injected the fluid within into her bloodstream,

Ruby winced slightly and Kaiden activated the machine, sealing the lid and putting the chamber into a void in the wall which glowed brightly, he then turned to Blake who was already staggering over to the machines, he helped her the rest of the way and repeated the process as Ruby's machine finished and opened, letting the young huntress out, she got to her feet and smiled,

"Thanks, I feel much better." Ruby smiled as she walked over to the terminals that Kaiden had left across the room along with his headset,

Harmony, Raven, Alex, Yang and Weiss wandered the stoic halls of the ship, almost no infested had come their way save for a large horde,

"Something doesn't seem right..." Alex muttered,

the scent of infested blood was thick in the air, the putrid smell penetrating all halls of the ship, Weiss stayed close to Alex whilst Yang was near the front near Raven, Harmony brought up the rear, suddenly a huge roar broke the desolate silence of the ship,

"Ah shit." Raven cursed as she readied her Cernos bow,

"What? What is it?" Weiss asked, before anyone could answer a huge horde poured out of the doorway behind them as they approached the doorway to sector 3, the horde then opened a path and a huge infested charged at them,

"Crap, ready up people!" Alex cursed as he readied snow globe,

"What's that?" Ruby asked,

Kaiden took one look at the terminals and saw a beast about the size of a large borbatusk attacking the tenno,

"Shit, juggernaut!" Kaiden said as he ran over to Blake's machine which was just opening, Blake sat up and beamed happily now the wound in her stomach had healed,

"They need backup." He stated calmly as he led the two huntresses out of the Medbay and down the corridor,

"Stay where you are guys, Backup is on the way." Kaiden yelled into his earpiece,

"Unless you violated protocol and used the bio-healers, which for the record i don't care if you did, you can't." Harmony's voice replied in a state of panic,
