Terrormorph Attack
23 May 2024SlothSin
While at the Tau Gourmet Production Center on Tau Ceti II, on a routine drop in to take some comms gear for repairs, I find myself gazing upon a scene of pure carnage. Death lingers in the air, bodies everywhere, large gouges taken out of metal habs. What in the blazes happened? Who attacked?As I continue to sweep the area, in the main building I come across a settler who’s still alive, Hadrian. She’s wounded but alive. She informs me of a creature known as a Terrormorph is patrolling outside somewhere, a big threat.
We need to take it down she says, she needs a tissue sample as she has suspicions of its origins.
Yeah sure, I’ll just go out and kill it…luckily, the settlers managed to install auto-turrets and scanners as defensive measures. I just need to get them back online without being eaten.
Once the defensive perimeter had been set up, I needed to lure the terrormorph between the buildings into a valley of death. Easier said than done as that monster moves quick! Almost got cut down running down the alley from it! The turrets soon take aim and begin to mow it down, I lift my rifle and beginning blasting myself, every bullet counts I tell myself. Then it slumps and drops to the ground. The turrets go quiet and I creep forward, rifle still raised. It’s definitely dead as I nudge it with the barrel of the rifle.
I grab a tissue sample and take it back to Hadrian, she can be completely sure but she thinks this one came from Londinium. How though? Either way, she’s asked me to track down a former colleague to get a “full work up” of the sample.
Better call in with Tuala and get clearance for this mission. Then press on to Mars to find a Percival Walker on Mars.
