CrispyFries Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Redwood was in the drop ship with her unit, as well as a team of Weyland-Yutani engineers that had been sent to aid the Colonial Marines, and they were now just waiting to dock with Vallarta Station. Vallarta Station, an isolated resort for the rich and powerful, had gone dark only a few days ago. Usually it would take a week to have the Marines show up, but thanks to the resort's wealthy patrons, the process had been sped up a bit. "We're docking in two minutes!" called the pilot from the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle was flipping a small dagger around in one hoof awaiting the arrival, sometimes she really hated her job others she really enjoyed it it depended on what she was doing, she looked over at the other member's of the team, she hadn't spoken to any of them since they took off she was mostly just being over paranoid about forgetting anything although that mostly fell to the other Engineers, she liked to think of herself as some form of professional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were still many high class luxury ships docked there, and the hangar didn't bare any signs of damage or a struggle. It was dead quiet though, and a few of the lights were flickering overhead. Redwood approached an elevator with two other Marines, then looked over at Sparkle and said, "Get this thing workin'." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle knew she was just a techie and she was ment to do as ordered but couldn't help muttering under her breath "a please would be nice..." Before setting to work fixing the elevator, "nothing's wrong with the main hull... or the shaft the elevator's sitting in... it has to be the motors..." Sparkle said forcing the doors open and climbing out of the Elevator through the small maintenance hatch and making her way up the shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle said forcing the doors open and climbing out of the Elevator through the small maintenance hatch and making her way up the shaft As Sparkled climbed into the shaft, Redwood's radio crackled to life. "We've got- too many- have to- AAAARG!" The transmission was then cut at the sound of gunfire. Redwood swore to herself. That was likely one of the other squads, and that meant there were likely hostiles. "Delta's gone dark! Stay on guard and keep yer hoof on th' trigger!" She he tried to radio their cruiser to report what had just heard, but all she got from her radio was static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like nothing she had ever seen before, and she doubted it was simply grease. "Ah dunno. Whatever it is, we gotta keep movin forwards," said Redwood. The corridor ahead of them was nearly pitch black, save for a flickering light or two. Redwood turned her flashlight on to reveal a hallway with expensive marble paneling that was stained with a few flecks of blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before this fight, there was probably one before it, and I guess that's why th' elevator's broken."

The sign leading to the corridor on the left read "spa" and the sign leading to the corridor on the right read "Chez Ritz," likely a fancy restaurant.
