Queen to Bishop [Part 3]

They had sneaked into the facility and out of the nest. They had gathered whatever equipment they could use as weapons. Now it was time for the rescuers to fight their way in, and the rescuees to fight their way free.

There was only a whole horde of xenomorphs in the way, after all.

If Jamie heard Rose's question he was too distracted to answer intelligibly. Teeth clenched painfully tight, he was unloading short bursts of rivet-fire at monster after monster, pausing only when one target was down to pick out a new one. The only way he was keeping from flipping out altogether was by trying to keep track of his ammo - and even that was scant comfort, considering that he was steadily counting down to the point where his primary mode of protection would be completely useless except as a blunt weapon.

Scarlet was a little too focused on the creatures to really ask or care about what was going on behind her until someone said the word. She sliced off limbs and appendages and whatever-the-hell-else these things had, anything that came near her was going. She was not dying in this pit.

Even with all her focus though, she was a doctor and only had the basic heavy artillery training. She couldn't go at this pace for too long, and it was evident when a tail made it past the plasma saw as she was bringing it down on the head of another creature, striking her across the face and nearly knocking her off balance, although she was able to swing around with a grunt and saw the offending appendage off, ignoring for the moment the sting of torn flesh.

"If we could hurry that would be great!" Okay so she cared a little about what was going on behind her.

"And...we're clear!"

That had cut through the aliens in front. "Jamie switch to the back again and let's move! Keep moving!"

"Covering the front," barked Reimi as she hurried forward, side-stepping around a tall fixture and making sure there weren't any more surprises. "How's the back holding up?"

“We’re all in one piece.” Rose risked a glance at Scarlet. “More or less.”

As soon as they had some breathing room--she preferred not getting tackled by an angry alien as soon as she turned her back--she started moving towards the others with frequent glances over her shoulder.

The onslaught having died down for the moment, Jamie lowered the rivet gun slightly, though his grip on it never slackened. "Let's move while we can, then," he muttered, nervously scanning the hallway for signs of incoming threats.
