ZOMBIE POD POP! (zompop?)
[ooc: Newbie Helpers List | Instructions: First, read *HERE*. Then, once you've read the overall plan, post your character into the main thread establishing them as being podpopped, and reacting to the oncoming zombie horde (since there is no Stacy replies to comment to, it will all be one thread, instead of individual threads). This can include fighting and/or fleeing if you want. Eventually, volunteers from Team Left Behind will rush in and save the day. Obviously, since there's no time for it while fighting for your lives against zombies, this podpop won't get the whole ||You have been Chosen|| speech from Stacy, so they'll have to get their answers (and pants) later.]
||Pod Release Protocols Initating|| Stacy's familiar voice sounds out to all the podmates through the ship.
In the Pod Caverns, there are the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.
There is condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in the pods, as the people inside slide out onto the floors, covered in slime.
--
There was nothing. You were going about your normal life, then there was a bright light, and then? Nothing.
Then the world lurches.
The chamber here is humid.
Actually, "chamber" isn't quite accurate. You're in a cavern, half-lit by an eerie greenish light, going on and on as far as the eye can see. The light is coming from what can only be described as pods, glistening, round greenish-yellow things, glowing with a pale inner light, outlining human -- and not quite human -- forms. Each is rooted to the floor, to the walls, with something black, twisted, and unidentifiable.
They line the walls of the cavern, go up in maddeningly high columns, curling and corkscrewing up into the darkness, until the light from them is like that of the stars, glowing pale and mournful in clusters in the darkness above. Twisted walkways and stairs crisscross, traverse the platforms in front of the pods, wending their way back and forth, up and down through the chamber.
You just came from one of those pods, broke free like a butterfly from a (slimy, nasty) chrysalis.
Now you stand alone but not quite alone, naked, not knowing how you got there, who took you, or why you were taken.
As your body heats up again, you realize the air is warm -- just a few degrees too warm to be comfortable -- and muggy; it smells acrid and organic, like freshly spilt blood and sweat. Your mouth tastes of salt.
The floors are pulsing under your feet, throbbing...
Wherever you are, this entire place...is alive.
Oh, and also you're naked and covered in alien snot.
And this is the point everything goes to hell.
You see, not too long ago, a psychopathic AI unleashed a horde of zombies on this ship, and now they were making their way to these very caverns, eager to eat the flesh off your bones.
Less than a minute after you've been plopped from out of your pod, you hear the sounds of the ravening undead horde making their way through the tunnels towards you, and it's pretty damn obvious what they're looking for.
Ready or not, here they come.

After all, what more could one expect from a defenseless woman?
The thought made Ada mentally sick to her stomach. It was one thing to play the card when it was necessary, but the situation was a tad different. There was no mission, hell, no clue what was even happening. Here, she would rather live and not have to get too friendly with the others.
Re: YOU'RE SAVED.... maybe...
Re: YOU'RE SAVED.... maybe...
He then grinned as he accepted the phaser.
"Man, this would have helped on some hunts." Wendigo would have been easy with a phaser. The controls were easy enough, and he was happily zapping zombie heads like the hunter he is.
"Well, fine, shouldn't be far, right?" Something told him that it was a bit of a hike.
Re: YOU'RE SAVED.... maybe...
She floated back to the ground, where she picked up on the spreading word that someone had come to get them. Making her way slowly towards the rescue party, she felt another pang of modesty when she noticed that her saviors were fully clothed, but was more or less taking things in stride at this point.
Leaving the rest of the fight to the others, Satori headed towards the rescue team, keeping an eye out for anyone who seemed to have any idea what the hell was going on, but staying quiet for the moment.
no subject
If it didn't feel all so very real and horrible, she'd think she was on a hell of an acid trip.
no subject
Not like they posed any kind of usefulness at the moment. Besides, he needed to find some sort of clothing. Little did he know, there would be clothing provided him as he entered the plantsuit room.
no subject
Don't blame him for hoping. He's a mechanic.
no subject
Being behind people? Pointless when neither bullets nor phaser fire, could hurt you. Alessa kept going ahead, cutting into zombies left and right. Modesty, well, that was pointless in a situation where death was on the line. Besides, her body resembled Alessa's, so there was little shame to be felt if she were capable of it.
"The Vatican. How ironic."
no subject
Wait, is that -- "Ada?"
That looked like Ada.
And she's naked!But she's also covered in pod slime.And naked!I think I also kind of hate her right now.But she's naked!And there are zombies everywhere. Again.Look at her! She's still-- hold on, did you say zombies?Yes, like the one that's coming up from the left that's about to eat my face.Oh, damn! Ok, I'll shut up now.You do that.Thankfully that bit of distraction didn't get him killed, as he managed to take out the zombie in just enough time.
no subject
Better not to shoot the zombies. "Though, speedster guy, I can give you a quick guide on how to get to the Vatican if you think you can get there and get in with the people here who can't fight. Images of how to get there anyway." She's seen Bastion zip through falling rocks to get people to safety. Zombies were even slower than the rocks usually!
no subject
No, never mind that. That questioning was to be saved for later. For the moment, there were other matters to take care of. Besides, if there was ever a reason to get in control of the situation, it was when someone who knew her was watching.
Especially if it was Leon.no subject
He zips back to the corden, so he can slow his speech to something more coherent "That I can do, as long as they're not going to get shot at when I drop them off. Any chance you brought a radio along so we can let your guys know we're coming?"
no subject
"Radios are down, last I knew," Selene said, looking around the group to see if anyone knew otherwise. "But if you go up on the roofs around the square and go into the building, if they haven't been broken into, you'll be able to explain about them before you can get shot at since no one will be shooting inward," she added, making a picture of the square and the roofs to go up and how to get into the building as she said this in the air for Wally to see. "You can run up walls, right?"
no subject
He turns to the rest of the gathered podpoppers, "Just try not to moan and stagger about too much when we get there and we'll be fine."
Unfortunately, moaning and staggering are notorious side-effects suffered by those carried large distances by the Flash. Vomiting, too...
no subject
It was a weird thing how the world works.
"Right then. This is the way to go," Selene said, giving a nice little video clip on how to get from the Pod Cavern to the Vatican and the building he needed to go to. With a paused in the clothing room. "That little circle? You stand on that, tentacles will grab you and cloth you, but you can't get out of them until you're done if you're caught. I wouldn't get caught. Modesty can wait after we're not about to be eaten." Other than that pause, she showed the way rather quickly. Since speedsters did everything fast anyway, no reason to keep it slow.
no subject
Either way, it's a marked step up from their combatants who weren't inhuman and frightening being armed only with zombie limbs - though he's beginning to understand the appeal of those. It's a miracle that he hasn't gotten himself bitten in the process of disabling a few of the more rotten shambling corpses.
no subject
"Alright folks, arms and legs inside the carriage at all times..." and with that, the spire becomes one long wind tunnel.
no subject
Leaping aside as one of the vile creatures fell nearby to gunfire he held a hand out, "Do not shoot, I am not one of these monstrosities," he called to those ahead, picking up the felled Zombie and throwing it with ease into the hoard even as he moved to join the others.
