Resident Tale

Chapter 14: A Nightmare Revisted

9:23 pm

Emergency communication Room

"We are Veltro, vengeful messenger from the depths the Inferno." the masked man said to the camera. It then cuts out and Parker slams his fist on the panel, "Damn Terrorists." he growls to himself. 

Raymond had his arms crossed. "We killed this bastard already." he states, "But somehow some survived and started again." Annabelle states and Jill looks over at him, "And they're on this ship." she agrees with Annabelle.

Parker lifts his head, "And now they want to use the virus to stage another attack." Parker growls and Raymond uncross his arms as he looks over at Parker, "They seek the truth of Terragriga and vengeance." he states, "And what was the cost of that Truth? 3000 people on this ship, but crew and passenger?" Annabelle questions him. 

He shot a look over at her, checking her up to down as she looks at him, "How are you willing to get your hands soaked? Until their dripping with dirty? Or the blood of the innocent?" she questions him again and he looks away. 

Then turns and walks out to the communication room. "Didn't think so," Annabelle mutters and turns the recording off. "Jill, look at this. The whole ship is out of power." Parker states as they both look at the screen. "He's right, but a ship this big would have backup generators and they're off as well." Annabelle agrees with him. "It's running on emergency power, but the comms system needs the main power." Parker informs her, "And where can we find the main power?" Annabelle asks him.

Looking down at the map. "In the engine room, we need to bridge it back online and won't be easy." he states and Annabelle reloads her gun, "When as anywhere we've done up until now ever been easy?" she asks him, he chuckles and the three walk back to the door and it opens for them, leading them back into the room, where Raymond was waiting for them, "Raymond!" Jill states and he pushes himself off the wall. "Aww, you were kind enough to wait?" Annabelle jokes and Parker smirks a little.

Then he handed them an anchor key, "Take it, you might need it. Like you said, turning the power on might not be easy." he tells her, Jill exchange looks with the two. Jill takes the key and he crosses his arms. "That key will get through the casino on the first floor. Then you'll find a life to take you to the bilge," he states and Annabelle arch her eyebrow. "But tell me something first, you didn't see any other FBC members here, did you?" he asks them. 

Annabelle crosses her arms, "Why, you're not trying to hiding something, are you?" Annabelle questions him, he looks at her, "I can't reach my partner, Rachel... Damn it. I haven't heard from her since she went to the bilge." he mutters to himself. "Wait, she has long blonde hair and wore a black and orange jumpsuit?" Annabelle asks him. "Yeah, that's her. Have you seen her?" he asks. 

Her and Jill exchange looks "Why don't you and Parker go on ahead, I catch up later." she tells her, Jill nods and both her and Parker walk off.

Annabelle sighs and looks at Raymond, "I saw her in the Infirmary, sitting in a pool of blood." she informs him, he looks at her in shock. "No..." he mutters and covers his mouth. "I'm sorry, we-- I couldn't save her." she apologizes to him, he nods at her, "Thank you." he tells her, "And do me a favor, if she's turned, please end her suffering," he asks.

She nods at him then hurried after Jill and Parker. "Should we look for this Rachel woman?" Jill asks Parker. "We can, but after we bring on the Ship's power," Parker answers her as Annabelle catches up with them. They make it to the second level and continued up the way.

To the helm door and then waited for the second door to open, then walk into a large room with something that looks like a mass of flesh that had eggs in them, "What the..." Annabelle mutters as she held her glasses getting the footage. "What is this place?" Parker asks. "This like some larva nest," Annabelle states as Jill works on the door. The lock was off and they ended the room.
