Is To Live Through Heaven - 02

 Sorry about the long absence, I have no excuse.


-----------------------

“Does it look friendly?”

I take a good long hard stare at the hull, then it took a pot shot at the hanger. Way off the security room, “Nope.” I pop the ‘P’ at the end of that, I could hear a sigh at the end of that and I retrieved the pistol from my survival kit. “Get away from the RTG, they’ll probably use it for their sensors.” That’s what I would do if I were a super futuristic raider hell bent on killing survivors, I try and think of a plan to get out of this alive.

I take a longer look around my surroundings, this pistol will definitely not cut it. I grab a hold of the metal that I picked and decidedly to use it as shield to hide behind for now. Their ship slowly comes in and drops off some guys before circling the station waiting to be called again. I can’t really see them but they appear to have high power flashlights on their weapons, combat EVA suits. Most likely bulletproof. Their visors glow a menacing red while they move as a team to track us down and kill us. They don’t seem to be floating but using some sort of magnetic boots, I want to steal their shoes. I throw myself as quickly as I can into the security wing, they spot me and a hail of gunfire comes my way.

Surely they would have some sort of weapons locker here, and I see it hidden behind locked bars that I have no particular access to at this moment of time. I see the engineer is still in the room, he hadn’t had much of a chance to escape since the Security Wing overlooks the hanger. Then I get a wild idea.

“Give me your gun!” I shout, there wasn’t much of a need to but I do it anyway. He scrambles to hand it to me and I attach it to my harness while I pass him the nuke casing. “Put the casing back together, I have a plan.”

“You’ll kill us!”
