What's going on here? You walk out of the room to see your squadron killing blood-red demons. One of them tosses you a sawed-off shotgun. Your reflexes beat your conscious thought as you catch it in the air without even noticing that it was coming at you. You faintly remember destroying a handful of hell critter while the "enhanced deprived" fell with the sound of blood filled throats.
One of your squadron speaks, but each morning you don't recognize his voice from the day before: "Apparently, a distress call came in from the launch site. Approximately twenty minutes later, these things showed up and killed everybody."
"That puts me in charge here. Let's head toward the launch area," you say.
Battle has created a tingling sensation all over your body. It must be a side-effect of the chemicals. You continue walking while a great rage builds up inside of you. You hear a gunshot. One of the marines has shot at one of the others. You order them to stop. One looks up at you, menacing.
What the hell are you doing?" you demand.
"He moved... and... I wanted to kill him."
You understand too well. You try to keep your mind set to what the task at hand is, resisting the temptation to search the desert for life in need of termination.
"I said, head toward the launch area."
The rest race off at a non-human pace. Before you follow, you find the com-pad tucked in the CO's supply strap. You are responsible for the safety of your men now, and if there is any information vital to your success... You read:
