Have it assembling in my head, but I couldn't do it today as I had like a 9 hour hike..

... I am on it...

... everybody else, RP's!

I know...I wanted to have specific things happening though instead of just "and the two traded blows for several minutes" stuff that is usually written for such fights...so that's why it may have been a bit short.

Speaking of which...anyone know what happened to Lyzin?

IC: Kanak listened to the Praetorian as he examined his trophy. The queen had been weak, not in her prime and unripe, Kanak scowled at the realization but knew even then it was still a mighty kill that he had enjoyed. when alpha mentioned a cult, Kanak began to listen intently. It was obvious what the alien wanted, it seemed that even with its advanced intelligence, it was still a xenos at heart, desiring nothing more than to spread its species all over this little mud ball...

But Kanak frowned, who did this alien think he was, her servant? He had killed the queen yes, but that was for his own pleasure not to serve this beast. Kanak's body movements took on an aloof stature as he thought.

"You must know that I am not like my kind...I am not bound by their sense of 'honor' and I do not do favors, especially not for xenos..." At this last word, Kanak mandibles twitched in displeasure at thinking the word. "I will consider your offer and you will consider my demands...more of my kind will come...that is for certain...I want their skulls for my glory, you will ensure that I get them and your warriors will allow me to hunt as I please...is that clear for you?"

The Alpha didn't answer but hissed in assent. Kanak strapped the xeno queen skull to his back and nodded.

**blood reaper**

They will come

They seek you

If you were to

Activate a tracking beacon and alert

Them or we spread to the nearest City and other

Nations we will be seen as a threat

They will come

They will hunt us

You can hunt them

But for that to work a Egg must be placed in every leaving ship

From this country and must find civilization

Spread and consume, and your hunt will come

Or you can send a message.

Disguise it, claim it as a trapped hunter.

And they will come.

**Catos**

Oh dear. The hunters are coming.....

Doing event guys, may take some time...

PLAYER EVENT-WEYLAND CORP PART 1

Ludias’ grin dropped as soon as the alien hit him. It knocked into him hard and fast, sending him sailing towards the ground, the serpent holding on with its unbreakable grip. He dodged the attempts the creature made to impale his head with its tail and inner mouth. Ludias lifted up the coin, using it to try and hypnotize the beast. It stopped its struggling, and turned its head towards the coin, staring intently at it, hissing as it followed it.

“That’s it,” Ludias said, his grin returning, but immediately faltering as it turned back towards him, and lashing out with the tail separating his hand from the arm, and letting it fly away before dropping to the floor, still gripping the coin intensely.

He screamed and thought it was all about to end, when he heard a shotgun fire, the serpents head exploded, and acid fell on the left side of his face, making his pain increase like wildfire. The beast fell off him, and he felt an arm wrap round him and pull him up.

“We must get you out of here!” the cultist said, dragging Ludias to safety, battles raging on all around him.

***********************************************************************************************

The serpent opened its mouth, and a tongue which looked as sharp as a dagger sprang out, and Faber screamed as it impaled his forehead, blood seeping out immediately, demolishing all his life force in one quick blow.

“feth you, you bastard!” Felix shouted, blasting the beast to smithereens with his AA-12, body parts sprawling everywhere, and acid burning into what remained of Fabers corpse.

“Faber!” Garza shouted, rushing over to his body, but Felix blocked him with his arm halfway.

“No, he’s already gone, he would want us to get out of here with our lives, clear?”

“Clear…”

Pettry had a look of complete terror, on his face, and Cortez patted him on the back, and spoke to him.

“Come on, we just need to get out of here, okay?”

“No, we’re not getting out of here, we need to get upstairs to find Dr. Orwell,” Felix interrupted harshly. “If he dies we won’t be able to find out what’s going on, he’s our only lead. Faber would agree, if anybody has an objection say now but I know I need to do this. Okay? Let’s go.”

**************************************************************************************************************

Will and Ramona ran as fast as they could, Will randomly shooting any serpents that got in his way, sometimes scoring a hit, but most of the time aggravating them further.
His adrenaline was rocketing, and his fear intensifying, but he knew he could not stop running, or he would surely die.

Suddenly, something grabbed hold of his leg, and he crashed to the floor, and turned, seeing in the corner of his eye Daniel getting dragged away by multiple serpents, shouting as he went, tears pouring down his face.
He focused back on his assailant, and saw another drooling beast clawing its way up his body to his face, and he reached out for his pistol, and grabbed thin air. It was gone.

It was over, he would never be able to find out what had happened to his father, and he would never be able to help out in the Horror that would surely sweep the globe.

He closed his eyes, and waited for the end.

His ears then registered a few gunshots, and a terribly high pitched scream. He was dragged away, and opened his eyes to see Ramona trying to get him to his feet, sorrow written over her face. She handed him back the pistol, and spoke.

“Come on! I just saw some guys go up the stairs in the back. Oh crap! One of them’s coming straight for us! Get up! Get up!”

*********************************************************************************************************

Mark drove towards the Weyland Corp. building, gaining speed at a constant rate.
This was the only place he could think to go in this madness, it was the company that always had the shady reports about the shady figure at the head of it. He would drive straight through the goddamn wall of that building, and find the bastards who have done all of this.

He turned a corner, skid marks scarring the road, and brought out his pistol as he laid his eyes on the massive skyscraper that was the Weyland Corp. building, and pushed his foot down on the pedal, noticing police scars scattered all around, as he closed his eyes, and heard the crunch of metal, and demolition of stone and rubble as he charged towards the front doors of that fething building.

That’s the first part of the event guys, send in your PM’s for the second, and we can finish this fight…

**WARORK93**

Kanak grunted upon the Xenomorph's words and went to leave but turned back before he disappeared into the darkness of the sewers completely.

"I will trust you to spread your kind as you see fit...You will trust that other hunters will be here soon, by my honor...know that and be wary of other hunters that will come...here to earth...to find me...and to find you...be prepared...I will be close..." Kanak thought and nodded again to Alpha

With those thoughts, Kanak leapt back into the upper sewers and left the hive behind him, making his way to the surface and back to the rooftops. He wondered about the cult that the xenos had mentioned. He wasn't familiar with many cults, back in his own society there had been cults to the gods of the hunt but they were looked down upon just as the cults in the human society were. But the humans were much more religious than his own people were so human cults were often forced to the extremes of secrecy and that was something Kanak could relate to.

As he made his way back to his dwelling, he again passed the human tower where earlier he'd seen the xenomorph egg being transported. He was about to pass it when he saw several figures moving about near its entrances. He had already engaged his cloaking by instinct when he had left the sewers so he stopped on the roof of a shop near the tower and scanned the area with his mask's surveillance system. He saw a group of soldiers enter from one side, then a much larger group of plain looking people led by a man who flipped a coin in his hand, the man seemed serene as he entered the building with his armed men. Another, much smaller group entered the building looking nervous and scared. As they all disappeared, Kanak wondered briefly why so many different groups were entering the human building. He pondered this for a few minutes, staying in the same spot when his mask began to pick up disturbances inside the building, he scanned the tower with his mask and with surprise found many xenos life forms seemed to be inhabiting the tower with many human life forms moving in and engaging them. Kanak's mandibles twitched in anticipation. He was curious about this human building, how had it gotten so many xenos in it?

He thought about the Praetorian's words about the human experiments...typical...humans tinkering and exploiting things they didn't understand...

He was about to find out...Kanak leapt down onto the street and made his way to the alley where he'd seen the man with the coin enter the building. As he entered the tower he sniffed the air and tilted his head at the sounds of gunshots and screams. Kanak engaged his blades and walked forward slowly, his camouflage still activated, his caster out and twitching at every movement or tinkling of broken glass. The interior of the tower looked like a warzone...

Well, war or not it was time to find some answers...

**black templar**

Sam and Brian pulled up out side the sewer, the opened the doors of the car and walked up to a door. But Brian turned as he heard a strange hiss thinking it was a snake but he saw nothing, Sam tapped him on the shoulder
"Come on lets look inside." Said Sam. Brian turned and nodded they opened the doors it stunk of rotten meat they pressed a bit deeper till they seen a strange structure like a hive. Suddenly a strange figure stumbled a head of them it was one of the missing people same seen his face on a poster.
"Please help me!" He said gasping for breath, he started to gurgle and scream. Sam lent down to help but he saw the guys chest and shirt move then blood spilled from his chest. Sam and Brian leaped back and saw a strange creature claw its way out of the wound.
"SHOOT IT!!! SHOOT THE fething THING!!" Yelled Sam him and Brian lifted their rifles and shot the thing. They heard screaming but this wasn't from and person they both turned and ran back to their car the burst through the doors and climbed into their car and drove back to the Station.

**Tyranic Marta**

(really? gawd why do dm's always take the coolest stuff of my characters away???)

**blood reaper**

Humans

Intrude

Hunter

Hunter

Your brethren

Come

Their craft

Cloaked and undisturbed

In the forest

Follow the trail and kill the scouts

Kill them and the hive will survive

And more will come.

**Tyranic Marta**

GAH I hate it when that happens

**blood reaper**

Alpha gripped the ground as his teeth grew longer and his carapace grew, he screamed and snarled. His hormones where changing, his species would go through a metamorphosis but Alpha's genetic enchantments had changed his way of life. After a painful 20 minutes of tissue growth, Alpha inspected the troops. His warriors bowed and shock, killing a queen was a 'crime' or wrong doing in the Xenomorph society but Alpha did not care. Alpha watched the hosts, blood erupted from their chests as new Norns emerged. He snarled and picked up a dropped bullet;

"Threat..."

I will automatically let you retrieve your coin, but you still have one less hand than you used to...

... arrogance made Ludias use the coin instead of taking out his pistol and shooting the Alien...

... and if anybody gets the referance by the acid on one side of Ludias' face, I will give you luck...

**ineptus astartes**

I do.

Spoiler:

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Ineptus, you now will not be hived as I originally planned...

**ineptus astartes**

yay!

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

I know, you must be so happy...

... I'll just go with my other idea which is having a police officer shoot you in da face...

... just joking...

**WARORK93**

Shas'ui T'au Kais wrote:... and if anybody gets the referance by the acid on one side of Ludias' face, I will give you luck...

OOC: I actually think that gives him character...his coin has been described as defaced on one side and clean on the other kinda like two face in the Dark Knight...also seems to be a reoccurring theme in his cult too considering the whole statue with wings thing...

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Yep, thats why I did it in a nutshell Warork...

... I didn't do it just to severely scar Ludias for life...

... however long that will be...

One step ahead i'm in a car about 5 seconds to the station.

"...Kill..."

Alpha's Runners followed the car, they kept a steady pace and latched on to its back. Omega followed behind and grabbed onto its number plate before smashing the back window and snarling at the humans....
