Sirens Strike

[Nika]

Lance had her own ideas regarding wearing off the attackers on the way to the deeper decks of Enterprise; hangar bays were considered an untenable position easy enough to breach and mount an offensive from multiple directions - and therefore were left behind, depressurised and locked down to slow the advantage as much as possible. What awaited the Insurgent marines was dead silence and depressurised environment - last bits of oxygen were drained from the hangar interiors the moment boarding parties have set their foot on solid surface.
What lied beyond the formidable blast door that was the only way from the hangars to the other parts of the ship was a mystery; not complete - some Insurgents were former Navy officers and had the idea of general Overlord interior layout, but what the crew have prepared to meet the assailants.

The massive blast door have fallen with a loud 'thumb'; the dust have settled, and the surrounding were quiet - until the first marines were sent ahead as vanguard. The pathway split in two narrow corridors, and one wrong step triggered a set up trap - a simple yet efficient one, a couple of frag explosive charges connected to a detonation trigger - a well-disguised thread tied to the screws on the walls at the ankle level.
"Get down!" one of the marines yelled out and dropped to the floor, covering his head, already protected with a helmet. The others, however, were slower to react - caught in the explosion, they were eviscerated, riddled with shrapnel, with a flurry of mix of old-fashioned ballistic and energy projectiles filled the corridors behind the charges - to shred anyone who made it through into pieces.

"Vanguard detachment to Lance - everything is going as planned. Withdrawing and joining efforts with the second line detachment." The retreating Enterprise marines have cleared up the following widening - taking up positions behind the next blast door, where the Navy own reinforcements have taken up fortified position.

"Very well. Next contact upon withdrawal from the second line. Make sure our guests won't get past this mark - by any means."

Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
