[QUOTE="talien, post: 4249141, member: 3285"] [b]PX Poker Night: Part 9 – The Van[/b] Hammer kept firing and running. The guards weren’t concerned about precision. They sprayed the area with weapons fire whenever they thought they could get a shot. It was all Hammer could to do keep their heads down. What the hell was taking Caprice and Guppy so long? Then he was at the van. It reverberated with an odd humming sound. “Delta team, this is SONNET,” came a man’s voice from inside the van. “Situation critical. Backup requested.” Hammer threw open the door to the back of the van and hopped inside, yanking it closed behind him. He surprised two other men in bulky helmets similar to the guards, sans armor. Their attire gave the distinct impression of humanoid insects. A large electronic device filled the back half of the van. Visible through a small glass window in a safe-like door of the device was a glowing piece of crystal. A chemically powered crystal slowly ticked digital time. The men drew their own pistols. Before anyone could say anything, a horrible whine and electrical sizzle racked the van. Something brilliantly blue and white floated overhead, obliterating all shadows. Energy arced between the men’s helmets and the surfaced of the van, their bodies twitching and jerking. Red and white gushes of fluid spilled out from beneath their helmets. There was another sizzle and pop from outside. Through the bulletproof windows, Hammer could see that the lights in the base went out, plunging the place into darkness except for the glow of the ship hovering overhead. Then the crystal craft suddenly plummeted, sporadically glowing, falling among the mothballed aircraft on the north end of the base. It hit the grounded aircraft with a series of reverberating booms. The crystal in the device pulsed brightly once, then faded into a dull glow. It was completely dark, except for the glow from the crystal. It took a moment for Hammer to realize he was still alive and the two scientists were dead. One man was slumped over the wheel in front, also dead. Their helmets slowly rolled off their sagging necks – there was nothing but bloody fluid where their heads had been. He caught sight of a well-marked mechanical lever labeled “emergency shutdown.” Hammer pulled the lever. The crystal slowly dropped into a lead-lined safe at the bottom of the device. The pulsing stopped. Hammer cocked his head. Something was roaring towards the van.... Then the snowplow hit. [/QUOTE]
