( open ) our ag wing's back and you're gonna be in trouble (hey now! hey now! our ag wing's back)

[initiates]

Date & Time: October 31st, 3313, 11:59PM - November 3rd, 3313, ????
Location: Agriculture Wing, Moon Base to start. Cafeteria, warehouse, docking bay, VR rooms, Transport Pad, or Observatory later on.
Characters: Any & all!
Summary: Space Zombies are allowed out of the Agriculture Wing, slowly revving up their systems to try and infect and absorb as many of the Transports (or 12 Initiative Members) as possible.
Warnings: Log will be locked for potentially graphic violence. Please warn in threads should the violence or gore become graphic.
Notes: Specify a date and location in your top comment. You may specify multiple dates/locations. Specify a time if you wish as well.

Everything is a success at first, from the cool rush of air out of the Agriculture Wing once the doors are fully unlocked, to the heady sense of accomplishment for finally moving forward on something good for the long-term usability of the Moon Base. It's intended to remain a resource, after all, but not be a permanent home. Fraying tempers and the sense of cabin fever descending on Transports continues to showcase how important it is to get back down on Earth to regain some breathing room.

There's little enough dust between all the unmoving, unlit structures, many even supporting the barest dried husks of what once grew there. Upon the lightest touch, they disintegrate, turning into a dust that falls to the ground. The silent rows will be reclaimed and turned into functioning units, based on Transport efforts, and Transport time invested in the project.

There's just one problem. Something stirs in the reclaimed wing, among tangles of hosing and wiring. Skitterings and movements that make no sense for a long abandoned Moon Base. The further in Transports go, relying on magic or technology to generate light past the bare minimum maintained by the base, the more disturbing sights they may run into.

Of course, the most disturbing of all might be lying just around the far corner -- but don't worry, it's only a flesh wound. Try not to get surprised in the machinery, caught suffering from not looking up or caught making out with anything unsavory this holiday season, Transports. We need all of you to stay alive!

We can't bring you back right now!

A very long and thin shadow emerges on the floor in front of them. A far-away... entity, of some sort.

"I'm sure it's just... some mischievous Transports who can teleport and wanted to play a spooky prank on us. That's all."

She keeps pace with Rin's forward.advance.

[payback]

... She's ready to draw, even if that's what it is. Better safe than sorry, right?

Rin calls out towards the encroaching... thing.

"Helloooo?"

Then it's rushing towards them with terrible and unnerving speed - looking less and less human the nearer it comes. Rin's sword draws out with a screech!

A necromorph is fast. Fortunately, a rainbow drinker is faster. She acts instinctively in response to the approaching creature with infected blood. Her lipstick expands into a chainsaw with which she lunges forward and swings diagonally through the THING.

The half with an entire arm twitches a foot or so closer, stopping not far from their feet. At least it stops, giving Kanaya time to address but not properly look at Rin - her gaze is ahead, suddenly frantically looking for more.

"What was that!!!"

[payback]

"Fucking fuck fuck fuck," comes the harried reply. Rin has her sword out and now she isn't putting it away. Kanaya's weird stunt with her makeupkind chainsaw barely registers, compared to the fact that they pretty much just got attacked - by something disgusting.

"I don't know! Let's leave!"

The top half is still trying to twitch towards them. Rin stares in frantic disgust, takes one step closer, and brings her sword down again, cleaving the creature in two once more, through the head this time.

[speakveryclearly]

Kanaya strafes over to the other side of the creature, where she can slice at it further without getting in Rin's way. It'll be in shreds at this rate - what's going on?

"I'm not sure we can do that! What if it follows us through the doors?"
