Undead soldiers and hell hounds closed in on the team from all sides as the teleporter activated just in time, rematerializing them to a different location a split second before they were all zombie chow. 

Suddenly, a dimly lit room appeared around everyone as the first thing they all noticed was the lack of oxygen in this particular atmosphere.

"It's really hard... to breath out here... in space..." Nikolai choked as everyone else seemed to be having the same problem. "Anyone else... find that... weird?"

The doctor gasped loudly, his voice cracking more so that usual as he tried to formulate a sentence. "Zhis... is all... Dempshey's fault..." He choked out, shoving past the Marine to where a rack of space suits was located. 

"I... hate... pie..."

"If this... is end... of Nikolai... must have... one last... shot of... Vodka..." Said Soviet muttered, reaching for the bottle at his side before Richtofen grabbed him by the arm, nearly dragging him to the cabinet in the center of the room.

"Takeo... needs air... badry-" The Imperial whispered as he snatched a suit for himself, shoving one towards Brianna quickly as she put the mask over her face, breathing in a large breath of fresh air.

"That was a close one..." Bri said to herself, sliding on the rest of the suit and jumping slightly as she heard Dempsey's voice inside her helmet.

"Hehe nice, now I won't have to smell Richtofen's ass breath anymore-"

"DEMPSHEY!" Richtofen's voice echoed loudly in everyone's ears, making said Marine jump as he spun around to face the taller man who looked slightly more intimidating now that no one could actually see the horrible scowl he knew would be etched onto his face.

"Did you know zhat ze P.E.S. system is equipped vith voice communication in every headset... Meaning zhat I can hear vhat you're saying dummkopf!"

Brianna couldn't help but snicker as Takeo rolled his eyes, observing their surroundings as he noticed two doors, two windows and a whole lot of other complicated machinery that looked at this point, unusable.

"P.E.S. Active," An automated voice announced. "Welcome to Griffin Station. Artificial gravity and life support systems are offline."

"Oh good, GOOD, ve've made it!" Richtofen rejoiced, clapping his hands together as he strode over towards a dusty looking computer in the corner of the room, stroking it affectionately as he continued his conversation with himself. "Now just von more convoluted multi-part schtep before I have ze..."

As though just realizing suddenly that his other companions could hear him as well, he turned around to face them all staring his way, waiting for some type of explanation...

"Oh, um, power..." The doctor laughed, chuckling nervously as they all continued to stare. "Ve've got to turn on ze power... STOP LOOKING AT ME!"

Everyone rolled their eyes, used to the doctor's crazy behavior by this point as Dempsey shot the German a dirty glare before directing his attention to the sounds of boards falling across the room...

"You know, you'd think the word would get around that Dempsey is a badass!" Tank growled, a smirk on his lips as he pulled the pistol from his side and aimed at the undead creature stumbling towards the barricades.

"Uh... We are on... The Moon..." Nikolai mumbled from across the room, defending the other window with what little ammo he had left. "Really at this point, even going to the Moon is not a surprise..."

"So, they want to shake things up a bit?" The usually quiet and reserved Imperial said while joining in, a rare smirk on his face as he pulled out his knife, helping Dempsey hold back the horde trying to come through the back window. "Takeo is game!"
