Crashed and Burned (Closed, IC)

Chegar pointed around what was left of the bridge.”All this, the debris field out there, that was our ship. I was commissioned for security and repair work when a Fomorian showed up.” He put his hand back down. “So... that’s what happened with us.” 

"Might sound strange, but its probably for the best you got shot down." Ebony said idly, staring at the limbo in charge of the operation.

"Run anotuer check on the stranded teams." Clogori ordered the induviduals sitting at the security station. "And try and get a camera on the hallways."

The moment he said that, another screech could be heard across the ship. The horde was almost upon the bridge. The operatives shivered in fear, while Clogori waited for a response from security.

"They're... all gone. They're gone. The teams are gone... " One of them managed to say. "Recordings all show the same... that thing shows up, camera cuts out... and they're gone."

Instead of responding, Clogori started pacing back and forth again. The lights on the bridge flickered once, and the bridge lost power for a split second. Long enough for all of the consoles to need a restart.

"Checking hallways..." One of the security personnel said as his monitor came back on. "Horde ETA... Ten minutes. No corrosive weaponry detected. Ideally, all the infested can do is punch the door..."

Chegar began work on decontamination, passing scrub brushed and detergent laced putties to the various red ribboned crew members.
"Okay, guys. No one said this would be fun, so... do whathca gotta do: Scrub yourself down, don't miss anything." Chegar said, giving the last of Clogori's crew a scrub and a block of putty.

Chegar then walked over to the woman in grey, handing her a scrub and putty block as well. He simply shook his head.
"Unless you wanna wash of with one of the bags of saline you took, we aren't getting water any time soon."
Behind Chegar, a large block of snow hanging over a make-shift bucket could be seen slowly melting; the heat-lamp next to it wasn't making things go any faster.

((I'll get to her soon.))

The girl conveys to Chegar the foulest look ever in the history of the downed ship's bridge to date, an amazing feet in itself considering that the top half of her grey face is still covered in a furred hood.

"...I am *so* disappointed right now." she quietly mutters at the Vauban despite the size difference. Grabbing the scrub brush and putty from his hands, she intensely scours herself down from head to toe. Despite the undertone of muttering and grumbling the girl moves with a practiced hand, not bothering to care whether the grunts and frames look or not as she vigorously rubs the putty and brush into every nook and cranny on both her and her kavat. In a record time she easily catches up to the first Perrin operative and peevishly hands the brush back to Chegar.

As she walks past the Vauban and over to the bucket, she takes off her glove, revealing a grey tinged hand. Jamming it inside the bucket gives off a sudden but short lived THRUM as the snow inexplicably turns to water as if a large chunk of energy was just poured into it.

"Sweet Lot---ng brass monkey balls, that's cold!!" she yelps, jerking her hand back out and shaking it dry before shoving it back into her glove.

Chegar quickly places the brush and putty into an air tight polymer bag, and placed that back into the medical bag he had brought with him.
He watched the woman's short lived assault on the ice block. The ice being vibrated apart, the woman flail, her attempts to warm her hand. And he laughed, thoroughly caught off guard by her actions. He worked to catch his breath.
"Wh- What did you think was gonna happen?" He said, still trying to stifle the laugh.

As the crew member spoke, Chegar's laughing abruptly stopped. His head swiveled as the lights went out, and he shot up right out of his seat. He unslung his sobek, and looked over at 'Ebony'.
"You may wanna get that glaive of yours ready... Cameras going out: bad. Our lights going out:..." He trailed off. It wouldn't take much to figure out what the Vauban was thinking.

"Skipping the melting and going straight to the heating?" The girl replies matter of factly to the Vauban. "I still want a shower and I'm not waiting an hour just for it to finish liquefying."

"SON OF A-" A crewman yelled, slapping his console. "Infested tore a conduit somewhere!" Several other consoles blinked shut. The lights flickered again.

"We don't have much time before we lose power to the Bridge, and not much longer before Tarnas does something to the reactor." Clogori said, leaning on a railing. He was sounding exasperated. "Door locks are mechanical, they won't break it. But we're blind without cameras." He still didn't sound fazed. He sounded tired and annoyed, but not really scared. Like he somehow had it under control.

Another screech from the horde. They were closer. Several operatives shivered upon hearing it. To many, it could mean their deaths. And the temperature dropped by a few degrees, which might have something to do with it, but whatever. Those who hadn't already grabbed guns did so now. A couple of them had scrap metal and welding equipment, and had started further reinforcing the door.

Ebony's infested glaive began to squirm as the mood in the room grew decidedly more tense. Ebony smacked it in irritation.

"I hate this damn thing. I had finally gotten a scythe that could compare to my old one, and that infested sack of sh*t went and made it grow appendages." she complained.

Even as she spoke though, she began subtly getting ready for a fight. Her legs uncrossed, her arms unfolded, and stray bits of metal around the room began sticking to things.

"Name's Celeste, salvager extraordinaire. And as for tracking..." the girl brings out one of her Fang Ps in her left hand and gives the metal wall behind her a tap. All at once the sounds of the bridge go silent, the tap heard by Chegar and him alone like a water droplet falling into the middle of a completely calm lake. For the briefest of instances, the location and movement of every single sentient being in the bridge is picked up clear as the icy horizon outside before fading back into cacophony.

"...I think I can manage." Celeste replies, a small smirk growing on her grey lips.

"Power loss imminent!" A crewman yelled. "Get a camera on the horde while you can!"

"Checking... uh... I can see a few dozen, but they fill the entire field of vision. I would guess at least a hundred." He said with a combination of dread and dismay. "And there is a confirmed sighting of that... Thing... with them."

Clogori merely stared at the Bridge doors, completely still. The sounds of the horde running were now audible. The sounds of a few hundred feet hitting the ground repeatedly. They were extremely close. Several operatives got set up around the door, ready to fire in case they broke through. Leveret, Celeste, and maybe Ebony would recognize Efahz hiding behind an abandoned console, holding his Lato (He had never elaborated on how he had found the predominately Tenno pistol) and shaking, probably out of fear at this point.

The bundled girl makes no attempt at conversation; instead she simply leans in a ready yet relaxed position in front of the bridge, waiting for the walls to come tumbling down.

There was silence for a moment. Then an ear-splitting screech. Then silence again. Then the sound of metal hitring metal, but multiplied several times over. Then silence again. Then another crash. A screech. Silence. Crash. Silence. Crash. Crash. Screech. Silence. Crash.

With that last crash, the door visibly dented. Only the tiniest bit, but it moved. Another crash. It moved again. The door was weakening. Still miniscule damage, but progress was made. The crew did their best to stay silent, but a few muffled sobs could be heard from around the room.

The door was now being hit every couple seconds, instead of the ten-second pauses of a moment ago. The Infested were ravenous. They knew their prize would be in this room. All the lights in the room had gone dark by now, leaving them with nothing but the glow of a couple Corpus weapons and whatever light got through the storm that raged outside.

"I... uh... don't think Tarnas is out there." Clogori said quietly to Chegar, standing beside him. "All of the vents are closed off... as far as I know... I'd be ready, just in case someone missed a vent." He had both of his Kronen ready, but he wasn't in any kind of combat stance. He was just standing there.

With that last crash, the door visibly dented. Only the tiniest bit, but it moved. Another crash. It moved again. The door was weakening. Still miniscule damage, but progress was made. The crew did their best to stay silent, but a few muffled sobs could be heard from around the room.

The door was now being hit every couple seconds, instead of the ten-second pauses of a moment ago. The Infested were ravenous. They knew their prize would be in this room. All the lights in the room had gone dark by now, leaving them with nothing but the glow of a couple Corpus weapons and whatever light got through the storm that raged outside.

"I... uh... don't think Tarnas is out there." Clogori said quietly to Chegar, standing beside him. "All of the vents are closed off... as far as I know... I'd be ready, just in case someone missed a vent." He had both of his Kronen ready, but he wasn't in any kind of combat stance. He was just standing there.

Chegar's head lamps flickered to life, lighting up the darkened bridge. He gave Clogori a sharp, sideways glance.
"Just be ready." Chegar said, returning his focus to the infested slamming against the walls with his Sobek at the ready.

Smash. Smash. Smash. Smash. Smash. The Infested damaged the door. They dented it. But they had trouble breaking through. Their limbs could only pack so much punch (tee hee). The door was still being weakened, of course. It had begun bending inward in several areas, the repeated blows warping the metal. No one dared speak a word, the only sounds coming from the Bridge being the breaths and shivers of the crewmen.

Without warning, however, a crewman crumpled to the ground silently. The another. And another. The first had held his chest as he fell, the second grasped his own throat, and the third merely had their head at an odd angle. In an instant, a fourth and a fifth fell. And a sixth. Before Clogori could turn around to see what was happening, the blast of a shotgun embedded itself in the back of the Warframe, barely being stopped by the shields. Clogori stumbled forward, barely staying on his feet. Another blast was fired at Chegar, and a third at Leveret. The attacker did not reveal themself, but it was pretty obvious who it was.

Ebony's eyes darted around, trying to place the location of the killer. She slowly took a step backwards, putting her back to the corner she had previously been sitting in. Her grip on the infested glaive tightened, and it(?) made a small clicking sound - though out of pain or anticipation it was hard to tell.

Leveret yelled in surprise as multiple blasts were redirected from the surrounding crewmen to his shield, ricocheting into the floor at his feet. "Get in closer to me if you want to live!" he yelled, forming an ice globe around himself and the crewmen, looking around. "He's not outside because he's in the room!"

The hooded girl raises her right boot, and brings it down with a resounding CLACK. Like a pebble dropping into a pond ultrasonic frequencies flood the room, bouncing into every hidden corner. For the frames with the built in hardware, locations of every other person in this room irradiates  their screen, and more importantly in the girl`s own binded eyes. Corners and curves light up like walking into a light shop, and every stretch of tense muscle or empty shell clattering the metal floor coming in like firecrackers in a box.

Her left hand reaches behind her back into a drawing position, and her right lowers to her hip.

Try to kill me once more eh? She thinks to herself, as she tenses herself up into a combat position. Won't be so easy this time.
