As she destroyed the last zombie, she gave their commander a clap of approval. (what was his name again, he was someone to watch... maybe)"Very impressive..." her eyes lingered on his hand - the one that had let off sparks so readily. A powered blueblood? Incredible.
Showing off was fine in Keionx's book - she'd done a little herself, after all.
"What twas your name again?" she asked, polite and mannered as best she could with undead-goop all over her space suit. It would be a good name to remember...

Another door. Rastin couldn't help but feel relieved. The constant onslaught of zombie attacks was starting to make him feel like jumping straight out a window. Thankfully his keen sense of reason kept him clinging as close to the wall as possible instead of leaping out into the deep vacuum of space. He wanted to get safely back home, not fall into some other planet's orbit.

Advance 7 The blueblood tried to look like a confident leader as he answered the orangeblood's question. He just had to concintrate, hold his hand still, and solidify his wavering voice. "Static Charge. Its be-been a pl-pleasure to work with, um, with you guys." Well that was as good as he could manage at the time. Time to move forward.
After his initial flailings, Rastin appeared to be doing... well. Yes, well. At the door, Keionx hung back, waiting for the blueblood to inspect it. She set the com link to private, as Tevini had taught her, and manipulated it until it matched the frequency on Rastin's suit.
(Tevini... the student was the teacher and the teacher was the student...)
"Thank you." she said warmly - without her accent, still, as she wasn't sure about the connections. This technology... it was not her thing, "For coming. You art doing very well."
"I just wanted to reassure you of this."
She switched the com back to normal and opened the door with ease... tripping the alarm in the process. She flinched at the sound... and went in to meet the monstrousity that awaited.
That door gets opened aww yeah
4- A loud alarm will start to sound through the ship as the door is opened!
This is a mini-boss battle, the full rules and mechanics of which can be reviewed here.

you barely make it to the pod with all your limbs attached.
Better luck next time! You have retreated from your mission and returned back to the docking area! Squad commanders, be sure to report in!

If this is your second mini-boss fight, you have reached the control room! Roll 1d4 and look in the spoiler below:
1 - Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. The screens show that the ship is functioning perfectly, and headquarters patches in the control of a remote helmsman. They wait until you have returned to your boarding pod and leave, before steering the ship away.*
2 - Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. As the screens boot up however, dozens of red warnings and errors flash across the screen. It seems like there has been critical damage to the ship in multiple places. Your team is instructed to leave the small black boxes containing deadly explosives in key positions on your return path to the exit.
3- The ship refuses to power on, even after you follow headquarters instructions to make sure they are plugged in, and hitting ctrl-alt-del. It looks like something core is not functioning. Your team is instructed to leave the small black boxes containing deadly explosives in key positions on your return path to the exit.
4- Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. The screens show that the ship is functioning perfectly, and headquarters patches in the control of a remote helmsman. They wait until you have returned to your boarding pod and leave, before steering the boarding vessel away.*
If any troll in the party has helmsman authority, they can steer the ship to given coordinates, then return to the boarding vessel with the rest of the team.
Congratulations! You have completed your mission and returned back to the docking area! Squad commanders, be sure to report in!

The large monster loomed over the party, just as grotesque as all the other ones that had come before. As with the hallway, they had all seen it before, walked down ones that were essentially the same, fought monsters that were essentially the same, but each fight drew their adrenaline out, and their attacks rained down upon the thing. "B-battle stations!" Static managed. To be honest tho, they had not discussed battle stations at all. It was just something Static yelled.
Gerbils... how many of those horrid things were up there? Keionx had kept her own new daywalking gerbil at the safehouse, and it was... she didn't know what to do about it... but it was a thing.
Why were there so many? It felt almost... unsporting... to destroy them. But she did, anyway.

Oh God, what the hell were these things? Who would bring rodents on a ship and leave them to die? This was a whole new level of cruel, senseless behavior that even he didn't imagine the government was capable of. Everything he knew was reaching a whole knew low every second he spent on this ship, and he feared it was only going to get worse.
Still, these poor, vicious creatures needed culling, and he did so without mercy. He smashed the live ones up and, not so accidentally, shredded the hell out of the already dead. It was all in the name of making sure they stayed dead, certainly not because he was losing his mind.

How many times had they come across a trap, just waiting for them to trigger it and get all sorts of nasty things. Sure, there was no trap here in a hallway, but every curve, every corner, felt like it harbored the chance of a trap. Be it one that a troll could actually trigger, or just one that was a bunch of zombies shambling along.
Keionx flinched at the sounds of the alarm, even though it blocked out the moans of the dead. As she had said before to the purpleblood, noise would draw the dead... there were so many though.
But the dead were no longer worthy of protection. Whoever these trolls were, they were no longer people.

The alarm system's blaring only made Rastin's blood pressure skyrocket higher and it was of absolutely no service to him when yet another parade of zombies came shuffling down the halls. He wondered how this ship could have held so many people. Where did they all live? It certainly wasn't homey up here.
Because he was spending so much time questioning, he almost got himself snagged by a zombie. Luckily he was smart enough to dodge away when the smell of rotting flesh got just a little too close for comfort.

As soon as the zombies appeared Static made sure to give Rastin a wiiiiide berth. He did not want to be standing next to the purpleblood for this thing. Sure, Rastin was a good partner for the ship mission. He attacked well, he did his job, buuuut he also was a little reckless and Static did not want to be within weapon range of him.
Keionx never tired. But this was... this was tiring, because she was doing three things: Watching the two interesting young trolls (one military and one not, but she did not judge,) keeping track of terminals, and fighting off the dead.
Too many things at once for the young hero. And the grotesqueness of the daywalkers... was starting to get to her.
