"feth. You!"

I continue to punch rounds into it while trying to retreat top the power box.

You swim rapidly away, but your shots go wild as the Leviathan grips your legs again, pulling towards it's maw.

Drowning in Darkness Teaser!
I know a secret. When I wake up, I see things you should never see when you're awake, but when I close my eyes, they're always waiting for me. I sleep whenever I can, my nightmares are often better than my reality. When I wake up, the nightmare is still there, mocking me. Twisting and warping, it...it wears their faces. It laughs at me, telling me my failings, that I'm not strong enough to stop it, that one day soon, it will become a part of me, and me of it. That thing, the Nightmare, it told me the secret. Something so terrible, that I...I can't remember it, no matter how hard I try. When I try to remember, all I hear are names; Emilie, Scott, Rachel, Gaz, James, Nick, Dez... I think one of them is mine, but I don't know which. I see things, too. Creatures wearing their faces, merging together, creating the Nightmare. And singing, always singing, and telling me to sing their songs. Part of me wants to join them, to leave this empty existence behind, and become a part of something greater. But then I look further, and I can hear them screaming. The faces, they're in pain. They don't want to sing the songs, but the Nightmare makes them. The faces, they want me to free them somehow, but the Nightmare won't let me. When I'm awake, I can still hear them screaming. I don't know what day it is, or even the year, hell, I don't even know who I am. Maybe I'm one of the faces, screaming endlessly in pain as I am forced to sing a song the Nightmare taught me. The only thing I know is that I'm drowning. Drowning in darkness.

(UN TEAM)

The man looks surprised. "Where is he? If the ghouls got him... it might be best to leave him."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

(Whoah! Is that Varz talking in that?)

"No. Let go of me. Bitch."

I shoot it with all my rage, and try to get free.

Shooting- 9

Running- 2

**Vulkan_He'stan**

"hes at the power box being attacked by some big temtecley thing!
Which way!"

**Mordoskul**

(Varz, I can't say...)

You fire a burst into the Leviathan's circular mouth, sending meat and teeth spraying out in all directions under the murky water. It groans in fury, and tugs you into it's mouth, all turns to blackness as it's teeth close around your waist. You have seconds to live at most. Time for something drastic.

**Mordoskul**

(Uh, Gaz doesn't know that. He knows Varz is in the basement, but doesn't know the details)

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Well, feth you."

I take out my knife and rip open the beasts skin from the inside.

If I have to roll, 5

**Vulkan_He'stan**

"ok lets go hes in the basement which way

**Mordoskul**

(Varz, just barely made it...)

With a cry of rage, you rip open the Leviathan's throat with your blade, filling the water with it;s viscous blood as it moans in pain, expelling you from it's mouth as it flails about in it;s death throws.

**Mordoskul**

(UN TEAM)

"I'll tell, under one condition. you take me with you wherever you're going. I'm tired of being a prisoner of the flesheaters."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Finally. Now die in silence... bitch."

I contact the team again.

"It is dead. I just barely killed it. Now I am going to continue onwards to the power box."

Just before I continue, I punch a few more bullets into the beast to make sure it is dead.

**Mordoskul**

(Varz)

You finally reach the power box, flicking the switches on in sequence, and the water is suddenly flooded with light from the fixtures above. You give a small whoop of delight as the air cyclers start back up, flushing fresh air into the Facility. Your com buzzes with the voice of Corporal Clieg, your supervisor. "Holy hell! The power's back on! Hey, Varz! Where the hell are you? I won't lie things are looking really bad out here, the blanks have sent a retrieval force, and we're badly outnumbered. We're ready to call down a strike on the Facility rather than let it fall into Conclave hands. Get yourself out of there, things are going to get ugly real quick. We'll be waiting to pick you up at the Primary Gate, you have an hour to get out of there."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Yes!"

I contact the team,

"James, the power is back, I flicked the switch. It's done."

**Mordoskul**

(Varz, check above, edited the previous post)

Second Drowning in Darkness Teaser-

They come in their thousands, thinking they can destroy the only semblance of order the world has ever seen. They come under the banners of 'freedom' and 'liberty', naive notions of equality that disappoint without fail. They think my people aching for revolt, for their soft minded ideals. There, they are greatly mistaken. My people will stack their corpses high in the streets, creating a great wall that even the tanks of the UN will be unable to breach. My might is absolute, those that challenge me are destroyed, as is custom. Those with potential join us, for they know us to be the one true beacon of light in the darkness. Let them come. We will drown them in their own blood, haunting their nightmares until they breath their last. For I am the Voice, the indomitable will of the Conclave, and they shall know fear.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

++varz I see you got the power on, good job.
is there much point in us coming to you?
or shall we wait for you here?++
turns to the guy who held us up
"whats your name by the way?"
(ooc: damn can wait for the sequel that teaser makes me want more!)

**Mordoskul**

"Name's Jeremy, Jeremy Hunt. The ghouls kept me here, feeding on me, cutting off bits of to eat, cloning replacement parts when need be. If wherever you're going allows me to kill some of those pale bastards, I'm in all the way."

**Vulkan_He'stan**

"ok just waiting on our friend"

**darksage**

"Well Jeremy," I extend my hand grinning, " the hunt's almost over." " Team, we need to recon with Varz asap. Command, this is MIA Captain Jacobs. Is there any way you could detonate a wall to allow for a easier escape? I check my tracker to see if I could find a easy way out.

**Mordoskul**

(UN TEAM)

The voice on the other line pauses for a second before responding; "James Jacobs? Holy sh*t! You're still alive? We thought the blanks had done you in for sure! We might be able to blast down the Primary Gate, but that will take time. If there's anyone that needs to be evacuated, get them assembled ASAP."

**darksage**

"Once we get Varz we will make our way to the main gate. They said it would take time to blast it down. Varz, do you need us to meet you half way or do you think you could make it on your own?"

**darksage**

"When Varz gets here make for the Primary Gate. Wait for me there. If rescue comes and I'm not there yet, leave without me. I need to get West and his men. I hope they've freed Strolek by now. In case I don't make it, Gaz, Rachel, it's been an honor serving with you."

**Mortified**

"Same here, but you'll make it."

**Mordoskul**

Darksage has asked me to write a fiction piece on the Lazarus Affair, creating something akin to a small novel. If you would like me to do so, let me know, and I'll get on it after we wrap this up.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

++ varz do you want us to wait for you here?
meet you at the the gate or somewhere?++
"good luck Ray, just make sure you get Strolek out"

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I'm not leaving till everybody is out of her alive. Ray, I'm going with you, I'll meet you at the point closest to us. Gaz, Rachel, you two just make your way out. Ray, see ya soon."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

(Also yeah I think that would be a great idea

)
