RC 212
HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO!
Surface
Vong nest Alpha 1
The pods had dropped and now Strain and his five black armored and cloaked commandos crawled out. The wreckage smoked as he kicked the remainder of the door off, and snatched up his Slugthrower Repeater. The filtration systems in his mask blocked out the toxic fumes of the Vong hive nest as it spewed it organic shaping matter through the air.
Black eyes scanned the area, getting a good readout of the nest. It seemed to be linked to the hive brain, which was somehow east, a far ways away. Nevertheless, Strain would find it, and destroy it.
"All systems go. Where now?" A fellow Exterminator asked him.
Just then Vong warriors, buglike and tall charged them from the treelines, swinging their amphistaffs madly. They were only a hundred meters out, but it did not panic the squad as they looked them over and then raised their rifles in unison.
"Forwards, initiate extermination protocol."
The slughtrower repeaters whined as the mini barrels spun up and then sonic speed slugs ripped through the air, turning vong carpaces to hamburger. Some of them tried to charge through the hailstorm, but the relentless onslaught of rounds dropped them, tearing flesh and bone to bits of matter.
One did make it and ran right up on Strain. He was met with a heavy armored fist, and his skull cracked, brain splashing everywhere.
"It seems these subjects are weaker than thought. Continue through the ambush to hive, eliminate the hive."
