Like a lightning strike Joe unholstered his gun and his eyes looked everywhere for the nomads. His eyes quickly gazed upon one of those things. He aimed his gun in the middle, not knowing where the vital organs, IF they even had organs, were.
Joe : Dave Get Down!!
Three rapid shots were fired, each one of them hit the nomad.
Joe : Get back a bit Dave, we don't want to lose you.
Two final shots in this nomad while it fell on to the ground should be enough Joe thought.
Suddenly, Jack's radio received some strange radio communications incoming from the HMS Marlowe.
Unknown Voice: SH...(static)..look at it! This is the (static) Marlowe, un(static)n ve(static) spotted. Opening (static) on us. Hull (static) breach (static), life (static) support (static) minimal.
Unknown Voice: Nom(static)ads.
Jack heard the last communications from the Marlowe, and while hearing the last words, he picked the assault rifle that he threw earlier on the floor.
Jack Aubrey: People, time to move.
He then noticed on an old map of the complex a small room with the name of 'Armory' on it.
Dave : Ok finishing decrypting... passing protocols...
AI Voice : Warning ! Shutdown sequence in 1 minute, emergency lights on !
Rounds of magnetic entangled projectiles were running near Dave's head, but he wasn't disturbed by that, rather more disturbed by the situation and the wrong timing of the Nomad ambush. When he saw the console is locked up..
Dave : Oh damn it !
Then behind him a small K'Hara creature appeared trying to get him by surprise, then from instinct, he turned and hit the nomad with the gun, he smashed his torso with his foot then he sent 5 projectiles in his head, and the he throwed him into the ventilation shaft from the nearby wall.
Dave : That's how you treat a threat
He looked to the others .
Dave : What ?

Jack ran with Joe towards the position of the armory within the dig site, hoping that they would find something useful, while Eriksson and Dave remained back.
Feeling heavy, Jack threw his vest on the ground, keeping only the essential.
Jack Aubrey: There is it.
An old rusty door, half way open and half way closed was infront of them, but the power source for the door wasn't working.
Jack Aubrey: Joe, tell Eriksson that I saw an old generator where the dead Nomad is laying. We need electricity NOW! And tell Dave to find a way to lock the main entrance, I don't want those 'things' attacking us from every direction.
Joe : What the...?! Like i would offer you a cigar! Nah, just kidding'. Yeah, get the damned generator up and running.
He throws a communicator to Erik.
Joe : Here, keep that with ya' in case nomads come up, i have to go back to Jack and get those weapons out and see what we have. Dave, do try to lock this place up.
He ran back towards Jack, he saw him looking in concentration towards the big door.
Joe : Sir! Erik is trying to fix the generator and Dave is trying to lock this place up. I have given them a communicator on the frequency of 101. Should i try to squeeze through that little gap in the door?
He went to the main console of the facility which luckily was in the room of the object. He entered accessed the commands and tried to lock up the main entrance doors.
Dave : Authorization... Epsilon Iota 1
AI : Access granted. Please specify an inquiry.
Dave : Lock up door entrance A2, A1, A4 and A5, and also the adjacent of them. Seal the ventilation system to prevent passage, block any sidewalk on the decks, and begin the heat detector scanners, UV, and electromagnetic sensors.
AI : Executing...all operations completed.
Dave : Now I hope it will be all good.
He went near the big center K'Vosh object starting his detector, and taking a closer look to it.

Apparently out of time, Jack and Joe picked an old metal bench and started to ram the door, but without any kind of success, when suddenly several glowing shadows could be seen in the overall darkness.
Jack Aubrey: Hide damnit!
Jack and Joe moved behind an old rusty cabinet, hoping that the unknown group wouldn't see them, when suddenly the radio that Jack carried with him received a new message.
Unknown Voice: Aaaaaargh... (static) GET HIM OFF (static) GET HIM OFF!
The unknown shadows rushed on the position of Jack and Joe, apparently with not-so-friendly intentions.
Jack Aubrey to Eriksson: We need that door open now!
Jack Aubrey to Joe: Here, take these grenades. I'll try to plant some PE-4 on that pillar over there. Try to cover me.
