Alvarez ran, his heart was thumping in his chest as he tried desperately to stay on his feet, as he skidded around a corner, the ice causing him to crash against the bulkhead. He used his hands to find purchase as he pulled himself forward, trying to stay ahead of the bouncing/bounding horde of gnashing teeth and ripping claws.

One hand on his hat he sprinted off again, careening through a door and vaulting a railing, his assault rifle long gone somewhere behind him. He had no way to fight back, not that it would do much good'¦

He crashed to the deck, rolling up to glance at the death and gore around him. Coalition marines'¦

Working on instinct he grabbed one of the marines dual MP-90. The weapon was smaller, more compact than the assault rifle. But it was capable of fully automatic fire with both standard 10mm ball bearings in a 20 round clip, and a secondary repeating blaster on a thermo-nuclear battery pack. It was the latter he selected, holding onto the pistol grip and the MFI grip on the front stock.

The alien beasts bounded over the railing, as he opened fire, the weapon spitting fire as he churned through the small creatures, a wicked smile curling the corner or his lips.

'Si, batos, you make me run, you make me bounce around like some kind of piÃ±ata, si now it's your turn'¦' he kept the pressure up, aware that someone else was firing along with him. Kneeling he picked up a second SMG, as he and the other Coalition officer stepped back to back, weapons sweeping too and fro, shattering glass, little bouncing alien critters, and anything else that got in their way.

A few moments later they were alone, and a health pile of little white critters smoldered in a circle around them.

Alvarez tossed the spare SMG down as he glanced at his partner.

'Captain Winters,' he extended his hand to her, pulling her into a relieved hug and clapping her on the shoulder. 'I owe you one, hermana.'

Slinging the SMG he knelt to recover a TAC headset from a dead marine, slipping it on to the echo of screams from the Botev assault team.

'We need to regroup,' he said, straightening up. As the ship shuddered again'¦ this time the vibrations on the ship were like an Earth quake, tossing both of them to the deck amidst the slushy snow, blood and broken glass.

'What the ?!?!' Alvarez clawed his way to his feet as the vibrations subsided. It was as if'¦ His hand slapped his face. 'BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!'

He thumbed the TAC-link, 'hermano, I would kindly ask you, ese, not to try to fly a starship INSIDE a starship that has obvious structural problems'¦ especially not when I am on this ship, hermano'¦'

'This is Colonel Alvarez to all units, pull back, regroup at'¦' he reached into the dead Marine's webbing, tossing an emergency beacon over to Winters, who set it up expertly. 'Nav point alpha.'
