Not Having This Conversation

The creatures hadn't emerged into the hanger bay, but Stevens and Rolando knew they were coming, they had to be the noise would bring them out.  Neither man got a good look at the biomen that had killed the soldiers, but what they had seen was terrifying enough. Stevens unlocked what was left of the armory and armed himself, but did not give anything to Rolando, instead he locked it again.

"Come on man don't do this, we're on the same side." Rolando really tired of being suspected of being a bad person, or really just suspected of being dangerous by his ability. He knew he was dangerous, but in this case it was dangerous to the enemy, not to Stevens.

"You're an adviser, advise."

"Stevens I advise you unlock my shackles and give me a gun before I strangle you to death." Stevens pointed his pistol at Rolando.

"Maybe I'll just say the cre HWUH!" A mechanical appendage shot through Stevens neck, his blood spattered in the small cabin compartment. The appendage locked itself around Stevens and started to pull him out of the cabin through the hole it had made. Rolando ran to the man and frantically searched for his keys as the creature kept splattering him in the remains of Stevens blood, just before the rest of Stevens was wrenched through the cabin Rolando snagged his shackle keys. He worked fast applying the double lock to free his wrists and feel the magic rush back in. No sooner had he finished unshackling himself when front door of the ship blew open. There were two creatures in front, which made three in the hangar at least. Rolando first shifted into the armory to snag his pistol and combat knife and that move alone confused the creatures. Which gave him an advantage, they obviously couldn't track his magical movements. He shifted again behind the creatures, gutting one with his knife and shooting the other one through its head. They both collapsed to the ground proving they could die. Which left just the one that had killed Stevens. He went outside and put a bullet through the creatures head and it slumped to the ground Steven's half grotesquely pulled corpse still clutched in its tendril.

"Soldiers can't kill shit, takes a Lorentino to kill shit! IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT SHIP!?" Rolando felt triumphant, but he could hear more of the things coming and he knew, just knew he had to move or he'd be dead sooner rather than later.

Wix couldn't believe it, most tests ended with almost a hundred percent combat effiency, and here was one man who somehow killed three of the creatures. He copied the video of him shouting and immediately made for his office. Morley had to be informed.
