As the agents enter the complex, the first thing to notice is that the whole complex is only lit by red emergency lights, some places are not even lit by those, as some of the lights are broken. The labs own mini server is still running though, otherwise you wouldn't feel a bubble surrounding you, as the lab is just outside the Fairhaven one.
With a swish of a golden tail and clack of talon on stone, Segruo a large 12 foot solar dragon descends down the stairs of one of Zephier's remote satellite labs, called in the dead of night, the herm dragon is somewhat hastily dressed, clad in a dark black heavy combat armor, Seguro's belt is dotted with bio medical devices and a small stun baton for protection.
Quickly following the dragon, but perhaps less visibly prepared, Redd follows down the staircase, muttering something about everything being built underground and the lack of windows.
Following behind the yote is another yote, this one looking even less prepared with a clunky pair of goggles on his head and a gun slung over his back.
Lochlan enters the complex, trying to be prepared for whatever shit happened, although he is mostly expecting ordinarry stuff like everybody's favourite skunkbeasts. Clad in a run-of-the-mill zephyr combat armour, with the addition of thick insulated gloves, just in case, he strolls down the stairs, cracking a joke to himself about the christmas spirit of the emergency lights.
Suddenly a sound like some giant bug crawling over metal sounds from one of the air vents, but it sounds as if it'S moving away from the agents, deeper into the complex.
Seguro jumps at the sound of skittering legs, as scaled hand reaches for hir stun baton for protection, hir sun hued eyes scan the darkened room looking for an enemy, sighing that there is none to be found. Soon the dragon's attention turns to trying to find a fuse box and if she was lucky shi might be able to store main power. The dragon hisses to other agents. "Look I am going to try and get the lights back on, if there is something down here, then we are at a disadvantage in the dark." Without a further word the solar moves careful forward looking for a fuse box or a generator .
Looking through the room, Seguro finds a fuse box, but it is destroyed by what looks like were claws.
As Redd passes by Seguro, he sees the fusebox mostly destroyed, "That could be an issue, but nothing that can't be fixed. Give me a moment." The coyote fiddles with the wires, reconnecting the fuses before replacing the damaged cover onto the box. "Hit the switch, if you've found it yet."
With the fuse box repaired, the lights turn back on, casting the comples in bright white light. Now it's easy to see, that on some of the walls near the broken, or better destroyed, emergency lights are full ow claw marks.
Markus is a bit scared... and handicapped as his light-magnification goggles are suddently overloaded. He pulls them off, rubbing his eyes before recovering. "Well... whatever it is... it certainly isnt friendly." He says, unshouldering his rifle after stowing his gear.
Lochlan approaches one of the deeper clawmarks and kneels to get a better view of them, comparing what he sees with his notes from previous experiences and whatever info he had managed to get from Zephyr one way or another. Not really liking what he sees, he goes to another destroyed light, repeating the procedure, then turns to the others. "Guys, you know what Alien is? Riiiiight?"
The light shuts off again, leaving once more only the emergency lights, as the fuse blows. From somewhere deeper inside the lab complex the sound of some equipment crashing to the ground, accompanied by a screeching, pained cry.
Seguro sighs deeply as the room once again grown , the dragon's scales casting a faint light about the room. Seguro readies a mutant power lion within, soon a thick shield of ablative nanites envelope the other agents warding them from harm. Taking a small flash light from hir belt the dragon moves to head deeper into the compound toward the pained voice, stun baton in hand.
Lights or not, coyotes have more than vision to rely on. "Well damn, I guess something's shorted out. Let's just find who's left, and get back out. I think this place is ready for condemnation anyhow." Redd's ears swivel towards the noise. "Guess that's our researchers."
Markus manages to re-don his goggles before the light finishes going out, the pale green glow from the three lenses somewhat eerie to those who looked upon him. "Aliens, huh? Never encountered those before.... wonder how they handle bullets..." he says, sweeping his rifle between the various directions they could possibly come in.
Lochlan grumbles as the light goes back off and pulls a headlamp of his own, quickly strapping it on his forehead. "They have plated hide, so don't count too much on body shots. Go for the head!"
With the complex back in red emergency lights, the agents can hear something moving from further into the lab.
"Have fun with that, I'm gonna go see if I can't get more fuses, or a generator down here." As Redd moves towards the exit, he stops a moment, "Do avoid the breast milk, I hear it's acidic."
Seguro searches a head, having moved further down the hall, hir flashlight looking from room to room, the dragon speaks over an open com channel "Hello we hear to help, If you injured we have medical supplies." with a regal hiss.
Markus follows sort of close behind, quite nervous.
Lochlan follows Seguro, frequently turning his head behind him to make sure noone is going to surprise them from behind. "Those pipe skittering guys... remind me how big are the pipes here. May be this thing is from the smaller ones..."
looking through the rooms the agents find a lot of destroyed labs and lab equipment. But in one of them a destroyed caged can be seen, it's bars torn outwards. In another romm though a fox in a labcoat is sitting, clutching his arm, blood running from it, the form of an alien hovering over him, another alien lying on the floor close by, a hole in it's head.
Seguro wrinkles hir nose, hisses back to the small elf. "Reminds me of what I say in a movie once, I think they implanted eggs in people, the young then burst out of the host chest, but that was a movie." The dragon was about to say something more when hir glowing sun hued eyes catch view of the black exoskeleton clad creatures . Pointing a claw at the alien the dragon lets off a quick stunning mutant power, solar ray. In a blink of an eye a brite bolt of light hurtles toward the foxes attacker, Sugro hisses. "Magic Missile."
As the alien screams in pain due to the hit, the researcher quickly turns his head in the direction of the agents, exlaiming "NO, STOP!"
Seguro blinks in surprise at the presumed feral speaks as as shi checks for a com transponder on the alien form, the dragon hisses. "Who are you and what happed to the fox?"
Markus levels his rifle at the alien, selector switch set to single as he drew a bead on the ugly demonspawn's bulbous head. As the researcher calls out, he shouts "We are here to save you!" while strafing around the alien to get closer to the fox.
Lochlan glares at the alien with his piercing, inhuman eyes, fixing his gaze on the wounded monster "Stay where you are, bastard, be a good little creep and stay where you are..."
The alien turns it's head towards the agents, hissing at them. The fox calms down a bit as he sees the agents stopping their attack. He turns towards the alien and says to it "They are no ferals, they are no threat.", then turns back to the agents "Sorry, if he scared you, but this is Max, my assistant. He got infected by that feral over there, when it broke out, but doesn't have that forms instincts fully under controll."
Seguro moves slowly toward the fox moving slowly to avoid appearing as a threat, reaching forward with a scaled hand the dragon uses hir biomontering nanomagic to assess the foxes state of health, taking out a first aid kit. In a quite tone Seguro asks "Mind telling us what happened, and how along has the mutant overhear been ded, I will also need to check you to provide your Zephyr issued com name so I and prove you identify."
Markus nods solemly, keeping his gun on the alien. He wasnt taking any chances...
Lochlan decides to let Seguro keep the speaking and faces the corridor, still wary of possible surprises.
The fox nods towards Seguro then begins his short summary "We've wanted to examine one of the alien forms, the one lying over there. I think it's dead, but we didn't check. All i know is it's been lying there for the last 15 minutes or so. Max had hit it after it broke out, attacked and infected him."
Meanwhile the wound on the other alien's head had been healed by the nanites in it's body, some fingers on it's hand moving already.
Seguro raises an eyebrow at the fox's response, the dragon watching the fox with sun hued eyes, hir tilting hir head toward the other agents shi speaks. "Something is not right, tie up the other alien if you got some rope we don't need it running amuck in here once it heals." Seguro continues to wraps the foxes wounds, not using hir nanite healing power or medical nanites gear to speed the healing. The dragon ask the fox. "Still I must insist on your com Id, this is a remote compound and is not open to the public, your unit is issued by your faction and is your identity with all of us shifting formsfoIf you work for zephyr you should know this, this is protocol. Now your com please."
Lochlan goes back inside the room looking at the lifeless alien being. "Dude, this is acid-y enough not to care too much about ropes. At best you'll get a couple of seconds to put another bullet in it's head". This said, he does tie the alien, in a very strict hog-tie, which forces it's spine in constant backwards arch.
The fox activates his comm, sending Seguro the desired information "I can't do it for Max, as he seems to have gone feral though." he says, pointing to his assistant turned alien.
The alien slowly begins to wake, feeling it's being tied, it tries to fight back but is still too weak as it hisses at the agents.
Seguro sighs a hiss of release as shi checks out the agents com ." Sorry I needed to make sure you were who you said you were, Its to easy to kill a few lab techs and pretend to the staff in their place. So what do you want us to do about the awaking feral then? We could also try yoteing your friend to a different form with easier to control instincts perhaps" said the dragon while applying a liquid bandage, to the foxes wounds, the medical nanites going to work rapidly fixing the fox's cuts.
As he sees the creature starting to move, Lochlan grabs a random cranial protrusion, deals a quick fist blow in the back of the head, then an elbow and another one, just to be sure that it will stay in dreamland for a little while. If needed, he is quite ok with continuing to pummel the alien, till it stops moving. And he is good at it.
The fox looks at the waking creature, shivering, then looks back at Seguro "He used to be a tousky before he got changed by that monster over there."
The bound alien goes down with a last hiss, it's head falling back down on the floor.
Seguro walks slowly toward the transformed assistant keeping hir hand at hir side, and speaking softly hoping that a peace of the assistant was still somewhere inside the mind of the feral. "Now for this to have the best chance of working you have to really want this, to return to your old form, you understand?" Waiting for the mutant to give hir some kind of single, shi begins to channel coyotes power though the nanite control extender commanding the nanites to return the Xenomorph to the form of a toskey.
The assistant slowly changes into a tousky. When the shift is comleted, he looks around, then runs over to the fox "Jack! You're alive!" he exclaims, hugging the researcher tightly.
Lochlan stretches his fingers and with a weightlifting snatch brings the alien on his shoulders, ready to drop it headfirst on the floor if it awakes again. "There we go. Happy End. Say, proffessor, do you have some infection vials from Rexie or whatever you call this buddy here? I'd be glad if you can share one or two."
the fox shakes his head as he stands up slowly "No, we didn't have time to extract any vials" he says, his assistant helping him stand and walk.
Seguro exhales a breath of relief as the transformation takes hold, a smile begins to creep across the dragons face when the assistant greets his coworker, the assistant not seem to have lost his min completely or at least was in a state of high functioning enough to retain his memories, still it was best to fallow protocol with such things. Seguro interrupts the two reunion as shi speaks "Sorry for lack of a better name toskey, I need you to come back with me to Zypher for some tests and a brief quarantine, once you check out your free to go."
