Sensing that engineering was only a short distance away, the Nomads moved through the decks of the Magnificent with amazing speed and agility. The Warrior Nomads lead the way by driving through any forces encountered and holding crew members down until they were taken as hosts by the smaller Nomads. By the time they reached the doors to engineering another 25 crew members had been taken as hosts.
Setup like a wall in front of engineering, a mere half-dozen security officers were all that stood between the Nomads and their primary objective. Echoing down the halls, the sound of crew members being attackedscreaming in agony as theyre impaled and then the garbled sound of their friends voices as they became infested. The sound grew ever louder and ever closer.
Security Officer Robinson: Here they come boys, lock and load!!!
They stood no chance.
Like a tremendous tidal wave the Warrior Nomads charged around the corner and overran the last defenses for engineering. Guns blazing to the end, the security officers held out as long as they could.
Security Officer Robinson: Chief, get out of here... we cant hold them!!!
A Nomad suddenly wrapped a hold around Robinsons neck, hauled him down to ground, and stabbed him in the right shoulder, pinning him to the ground. The Chief Engineers last sight of Security Officer Robinson was several smaller Nomads jumping onto his body and him shaking vigorously on the ground.
