Isaac nods.

"Plenty enough trouble to go 'round in this house," Isaac replies and takes up a spot near the door as indicated by Michael, "I dislike the thought of finding more critters, this wound hurts enough without acid in it."

Isaac looks at his dog bite for a moment, realising the only treatment he'd had so far had been the rinsing he'd given it.

Better get that looked at later, more important things now, gotta look out for people.

Michael, Isaac

The door slides open easily and they could see that whatever was beyond seemed a vast room. From their vantage point all they could see was some columns by the door and an expensive marble floor. The light only let them see about a few feet into it - their seemed to be some sort of pattern on the floor.

Everyone

Though intent on both the elevator and the door, you don't notice what's happening in the stairway until it's too late. Suddenly a loud thud is heard, quick feet shuttering along a huge hairy form peeks its head into the room, standing before you with mouth gaping.

Fangs glisten with poison as it decides who is its next victim.

Michael's heart skips several beats at seeing the monstrous spider. Instinctively, he backs away from the gigantic insect until he feels the corner of the room and the organ firmly in his back. He tries to reason away what he sees before him, without much succes.

This can't be... A spider this large? A trick, hallucination... -- My God, its mandibles. They are huge, could skewer a man in two. Can't be real - but neither can acidic dogs. Acid... Would this be poisonous? Poison?!

Things locks into place as Michael looks at Amisha, remembering how her wounds looked and what she was suffering from. "Am!" Dear God, this big? Is she even ready to move again?

Michael stares down at the candle he is clutching, nearly crushing it in his grip. With bulging eyes he looks around, first at the open door right next to him, then at the others near him. And at the creature, blocking their path to the other part of the group...

No words come out of Michael's mouth, he doesn't commit to action. He's afraid of chosing, knowing that either choice may be disastrous.

Isaac backs off, being unarmed, somewhat disbelieving a spider could get so big.

Not... good... That's a spider? I'll fight if I have to... I guess.

Ahhh, h*ll! Nobody closed the door to the stairs?!? If the dogs had broken through . . . forget it . . . too late for recrimination . . . for yourself or the others, Anders thought.

With a yell to hopefully draw the creature away from the others and toward him, Anders adjusted to not shoot anyone in the crossfire. With a steady hand and eye, Anders prepared to crack several shots off at the creature.

"WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?"

Yuri backs away from the monster and looks for something to hide behind, or anything to put between him and the eight-legged beast.

"Eat shells, creep!" Maria mumbles to herself mostly, and she feels the trigger of the shotgun against her finger. The shotgun feels cold in her hands, as if it wants to say: Shoot me! Warm me up!. Maria aims for the giant spiderlike creature, especially it's head, and releases. With a big bang she is feels a shcok going through her body, as both slugs loaded in the gun are released and on their way to the creature's neck. "Go back where you came from, spawn of Hell."

Yuri, Michael, Isaac

Neither of you can see anything but the organ and the doorway leading int o a black abyss behind you. Before you, the others and the huge spider that looks as if prey is the first thing on its mind.

Amelia Brogart

The pain digs deep as the spider's fang sinks into you for a crushing bite. Suddenly the world spins before your eyes and you feel yourself grow weak at the knees.

Maria Moreno

The first shot misses the neck but the second sinks in deep. The creature turns its beady black eyes toward you, its grip lessening on the blonde woman.

Anders Carlson

Further shots shook its bulbous body as they both hit their mark. The beast makes a sound that is distinctly not human and shakes...the blond woman dancing like a rag doll in its fangs...but still it remains before you.


Jacqueline, Amisha

The smell of the spider's poison shook you to your very core, stiring memories in one of you and invoking fear in the other. Watching as it devoured the blonde woman, both of you do nothign but stare in horror...wondering if you were next on the dinner menu tonight...

Michael looks at the cowering Borzakovsky with a mixture of fear and anger on his face. Fear at the beast that just managed to mangle the blonde woman with such ease, and anger at Borzakovsky for not doing anything. "Corporal!"

Michael's head swings back to the spider, big enough to see every part of its body in horrifying detail; the hair on its body and legs, its black beady eyes and massive jaws. He also sees Amisha, rooted to the ground. My God, she must was nearly killed by one of these, just ago. She must be reliving it all again. Damnit... "Am!", he screams again, hoping to get her out of her state of shock.

Immediately after calling her, Michael decides that the effort is probably wasted and that action has to be taken. He takes a short sprint and hooks one arm firmly around Amisha's waist. Hoping that the gunfire from the other side will keep the beast occupied long enough, Michael retreats back to the corner of the room, dragging the terrified private with him out of reach of the beast.

Michael tries to give the two men with him some sensible orders or advice, but nothing comes to mind... He tries to think of something, but all he can do is hope that the creature will ignore them long enough for the others to kill it.

"Somebody close that door, Now!" Anders ordered as he trained the weapon on creature. Focused on his enemy, Anders was as prepared to drop kick the creature into last week as he was to fill it full of holes. "One of these is more than enough. Goldstein, keep an eye on that elevator. I wanna know if somethings about to come out of there."

Anders tried to draw the attention of the creature away from those that were helpless in the fight without drawing other things into the room. Then Anders realized that the raven-haired spy had yet to move - she just stood staring at the creature. Anders moved to step in front of her, protecting her from the creature.
