[QUOTE="talien, post: 4967589, member: 3285"] [b]Owlshead Mountain: Part 5 – Making a Withdrawal[/b] Jim-Bean used Dr. Kline's keys to open the body bank door. "It's a good thing Kline dismissed everyone for his pathetic booby trap," said Hammer, "or we'd have bigger problems right now." The chilly chamber was walled on all sides by banks of metallic fifty-centimeter-by-fifty-centimeter metal drawers, three drawers high. Several height-adjustable metal carts stood in the chamber’s center. Jim-Bean tried to point his pistol everywhere at once. "So which one is it?" "Hard to tell," said Archive quietly. "Last time we saw the thing in action it was burrowing into you. If it wasn't for the fact that you're not really…" "Human?" asked Jim-Bean wryly. "…I was going to say made of terrestrial flesh. My point is we don't know if it can reanimate a corpse or needs a living host." "It can reanimate a corpse," said Hammer, looking past Jim-Bean. "How do you know?" asked Archive. On the far side of the room, a body was sitting up, cloaked in a blue sheet. The agents retreated. Jim-Bean locked the door. "Those things move fast," said Hammer. Jim-Bean tore off down the corridor. "He must be really freaked out," said Archive. "Not that I blame him…" Seconds later Jim-Bean returned pushing a cart full of embalming chemicals. Jim-Bean rolled the cart to the door and unlocked it. "There's only one way to deal with these things." "We'll be at the far end of the hall," said Hammer. Jim-Bean placed a block of C4 on the canister and rolled it into the room. Then he locked the door again. WHAM! The thing hurled itself against the door with incredible force. WHAM! Jim-Bean turned and ran down to the far end of the hallway to join Hammer and Archive. WHAM! Safely behind a door, Jim-Bean pressed the detonator. The explosion tore off the door to the body bank. Jim-Bean flipped on his cistron. "Sprague, this is Jim-Bean. I'm calling in a STREETSWEEPER team at my coordinates." A flaming corpse burst into the hallway, slamming into the far wall. It turned and charged down the hall towards them. Jim-Bean's jaw fell open. "You've got to be kidding me." Hammer, Jim-Bean, and Archive opened up on the corpse. It jerked as bullets ripped through it, but the flaming corpse kept coming. "If it gets outside…" started Hammer. The human inferno had just reached them when Archive body-blocked it, slamming the corpse through a nearby doorway. It fell to the ground. Hammer followed up with three bullets to the thing's melted face. It finally stopped moving. Archive kept rolling, putting the flames out that had leaped from the dead body to his clothing. Jim-Bean peeked his head into the room. "Should I call off the STREETSWEEPER team?" Hammer gestured at the carnage around him. "I'm pretty sure we still need them." [/QUOTE]
