"What is that man?" Hudson asked in a concerned tone
"Xe...no...morph." Scar says
The creature begins to sink through the floor.
"Get back." Mal says
"Acid...for blood." Scar says
A high pitched unholy scream echoes through the burnt floor.
"RUN!" Kikks says
The group sprints to operations and lock the door.
"How far a long are we with the data?" Mal asked
"5 minutes, what was that?" Mendoza asked
The door from the outside is rammed leaving a dent in the door
"That." Chief says helping other members of the Eagles barricading the door
The lights go out. The ominous red emergency lights go on. The group steps back and takes up defensive positions.
"How long?" Mal asked
"4 minutes." Mendoza responds
A silence falls throughout operations. Hudson stand under an open vent. A single drop of sweat falls of Jayne's nose. A long black spear shaped tail extends down from the vent behind Hudson.
"We are so fu---" Hudson is stabbed through the chest and pulled inside the vent.
Hudson's legs begin flailing around as his screams echo in the vent. The group tries to pull him down. The sound of bone and cartilage are heard as the lower half of Hudson snaps off. Blood falls from the vent. More banging begins on the door. The metal begins to bend and snap. The unholy screams of the Xenomorph's shake the group to their core.
"Data's almost done." Mendoza says
"Get your extension cables ready." Kikks says shooting out the windows
Xenomorphs begin to fall from the ceiling. Blaster fire erupts from the group. Scar cuts one of them in half with his gauntlets.
"It's done, let's go!" Mendoza says
The group prepares to grapple down the base. Jacobs is pulled back and mauled to pieces. The group jumps out the window as Stark pops a grenade behind them. The top i
engulfed in fire as the grenade explodes. One of the xenos tumbles past them hitting the ground. They reach the bottom and break for the hanger.
"Start the ship!" Mal yells
They reach the ramp in a panicked run. A xenomorph rushes the ramp. Williams haphazardly fires his weapon. The xeno explodes and acid rains on Williams. Acid begins to eat through his gear. Mal shoots him with a fire extinguisher.
"Close it!" Jayne yells
Wash frantically starts the ship and crushes a xeno on the top hull after gunning it out of the hanger.
"That was close." Wash says
"Bandage, get Williams to med bay." Kikks says
Serentiy's onboard alarms go off. Smoke begins to rise in the engine room. Kikks runs into the engine room to see Kaylee unconscious as the fire spreads. He carries Kaylee to safety and seals the door.
"Acid has eaten through the hull to the engines." Kikks says
"We only have enough for one jump, Tython?" Wash asked
"DO IT!" everyone yells
The ship sputters into hyperspace.
