*clang*clang*CLANG*CLANG
Several hulking suits of blue armor come marching in.
"hhssssssssss!!!!"
"XENOS!"
"EXTERMINATUS!!!"
"The rogue trader was right! Destroy the xenos!"
(scene closes to the deafening roar of Assault Cannon, stacatto bolt gun fire, and whine of chainsaws)
(...but not before we hear..)
"Oh Emperor's gilded shorts! I think we cheesed the main reactor cooling system!"
"How long we got before meltdown?"
"Two minutes tops!"
"WE ARE LEAVING!!!!"
it would be even shorter with one of my characters ....
Star trek materialization effect and a (classic) shemarian looking person is standing there looking around, ok where am I?? looks over at the second person "megarea just where the heck are we?"
Megarea, umm we are on a terraforming installation on (planet) scanning scanning Xenos detected, 1 2 10, 1000, umm lots, hmmm lets see they look like holds up a holo projector ... "Alecia these are Aliens Xenos ..."
Alecia .. forget this noise pulls out a a demo charge, "megarea are there any uninfected survivors?"
Megarea, "just 1 scanning, transporter lock established, saving coordinates."
Alecia primes the initiator. and attaches the Thermite accelerator. "what do you think Megarea, should we go with 200 megatons, or go for P as in plenty?"
Megarea "considering these Xenos, I am not sure Plenty is enough."
Alecia "ok" walks over to a convenient wall and slaps a door on it, opens the door and walks in a few moments later a great big door starts opening in orbit.
Alecia "transporter room energize" megarea and the girl appear on the transporter pad
Megarea "ok everyone is aboard"
Alecia overrides the countdown and remote detonates the thermite plasma anti-starship mine, a 200+ megaton blast detonates, and a plasma wave rips through the facility, "sensors scan for any remaining Xenos if any are detected commence bombardment"
