Shadow the Hedgehog

"I like 'the "nuke em from orbit" plan frankly."

"Yeah. At least the rest are away now though." "Yeah. At least the rest are away now though."

"Yeah, but that guy got hit by acid so close to getting out of there."

"Looks like they're all nearly there."

"Point taken."

"That would make sense."

"For their sakes I hope not. I'm surprised the main character knows how to drive that APC."

"Well most of them have died, so you were half right. Let's hope the rest can get out of dodge fast enough."

"To be fair, I'd be panicking if one of those things grabbed me."

"Pretty much. And there we go, she got jumped and flamethrowered the guy who had all the ammo."

"Those motion trackers seem more of a hindrance in there," said Hope as they started beeping wildly on screen.

"I wouldn't be so sure," said Topaz.

Hope grimaced as one of the creatures burst out of the colonist, startling the marines before the sergeant flamethrowered it.   "Its screeches probably just woke up the hive," she said to Melody.

"Yeah, she's starting to convulse. Horrible way to go," said Topaz.

"And that woman's alive, for the moment at least."

"Yeah, hey, there's the colonsits. It looks like they've been trapped in that resin."

"I know. I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm almost certain she can."

"The mic on the laptop might pick up a bit of the sound if I've left it on."

"Agreed, I'll be interested to see what she make sof it," replied Topaz, turning back to the film.

"Who's Faith?"   "That's what i've called the AI I'm working on. At the moment I'm using the camera in my laptop over there to see what she thinks of something like a film, and if she can even tell it's fake," replied Hope.

Topaz looked at the screen.   "Mind if I join you? I'm a pretty big fan of this one."

"Yeah. Let's hope those smartguns can hit their mark." As Hope watched the marines on screen go deeper into the hive, she gave a startled jump when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "What you watching?" asked Topaz, smiling as Hope turned round.

"Yeah, on the sly. Honestly in the circumstances I can't say I blame them. That place is pretty forboding, all that strange resin everywhere."

"Yeah. And to make things worsevthe marines can only use flamethrowers in there now, their rifle ammo would set off the prpcessor if it hit it."
