Watching in horror as several hundred NCUs powered down, the two guards held their guns up ready to fire at a moments notice, but with a few hundred units in front of them, fear began to grip them, and they slowly began to back out of the room.
Guard 1: I dont f***ing like the looks of this.
Guard 2: Lets get the hell out of here.
The containment area was dark making it difficult to see steam could be heard venting in the distance the sound of a unit popping open to the left another on the right small tapping sounds coming from all around and moving closer
The guards were nearly at the large entrance doors for the bay. On the other side an airlock control which could be used to flush the entire containment area into space. They got out of bay and while one guard turned to operate the airlock panel the other watched over his back. The guard frantically pushed in the button sequence that would begin the depressurization.
Guard 1: Done.
Nothing happens.
Guard 2: Punch it again!!
The guard entered the same correct sequencenothingthe system appeared to be jammed.
Guard 1: WHAT THE HELL, you entering that sequence right!?!
Guard 2: YES!!!
They ran out off time to argue the point furtherten warrior Nomads quickly rushed out of the door, jumping them where they stood and impaling them to the ground with their razor-blade tentacles. Holding them down, several of the smaller Nomads then followed up and infiltrated their pinned and helpless bodies. The Nomads were on the loose and there would be no stopping them now.
