Rule Number one: NEVER split from the group!

<clip>
"I think maybe we should see the sites first-hand, and try and check
to see if we can find where the bug is hiding out from those
places." Amber said.
"Good thinking." Eric agreed. "Maybe there is some place central to
all these sites."
"Or maybe there's something special about all of the sites," added
Johnny, "I mean, there could even be bug eggs at all of the scenes,
and right now the mother is just protecting them."
<end clip>
Who: The Keats's; Amber and John, and the others in that lil taskforce
Where: Heading to Parrots
When: Pffffff
"Well if its protecting its eggs, i could see why it was in the
engine room, its alot warmer there than most places on the ship" Jack
mumbled in an air of melenchony.
"Thats true, although why did it attack in Parrotts if it wanted
warmth?"
Amber tapped her feet impatiently as the group continued to talk
about possibilities. She sat down and wiped her forehead, small beads
of sweat caused by frustration were appearing and rolling down her
cheeks, John glanced at her worryingly.
"Anyway, i think we should go to where they last struck"
"The engine room? well you CAN go there, but its been nuked to the
afterlife"
Amber stood up, shed been scratching the back of her arm, and it was
now raw fromt he abrasion, she turned around and started walkign off.
"Hey hey, we have to stick togethr if were going to beat this thing!"
Amber stopped, turned round, her eyes were dark, darker than they
shoudl be.
"Oh, i see, so your going to what... talk this thing to death? Every
moment we stand here talking that thing could be killing another
member of the crew... i know weve all lost someone, and im going to
go out there and tear that sunnuvabeeches teeth out, and to be frank,
i couldnt give a smeg if you 'men' helped or not"
She stormed off. John Keats looked to everyone and mumbled
"Uhhh... i'l go after her then..."
He ran off in the direction shed gone. By the looks of things, she'd
headed to Parrots... the scene of the first killing. Amber was fast..
faster than John, he could barely keep up wit her.
"Stop following me John.. im going to kill this thing myself"
"Hey hey, wait up... just.. wait!"
She ran into a lift and headed up. Keats jumped intot eh other and
followed. He saw from the roof window that she was slightly ahead,
and he was sure he could here her cursing... something wasnt right
with her... She was somewhat aggressive normally.. but at the
moment.. it seemed like she was possesed. He calmed down and
subvocalised a tightbeam.
"Jack.. Jack, shes headed to Parrots, i thinks she going to hunt this
thing herself.. get everyone up here, NOW!"
The lift door opend, infront of them was Parrots. Amber tore through
the yellow crime scene tape and went in. John stopped at the door,
and edged in slowly. Amber was standing in the middle of the room
looking upwards. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Ok... look.. i know they were about as usefull as a broom up ya
arse, but theres safety in numbers... if were going to kill this
thing were going to have to do it together..."
She turned, her eyes were almost pure black now. A glint of silver
was in her eyes.
"Look.. you dont understand, do you John? You never do, that thing
will kill them all no matter how many theyr are.. its.. its evil...
but i can stop it, i can aveng-"
Keats dived at her.
"WATCH OUT"
He threw himself at her, wrapped his arms around her chest and
knocked her to the floor as a claw swang from the celing. The
creature nimbly used the celing to artfully dash out of site leaving
only a large cut on Johns back. They crouched, and drew their guns.
"Ok.. we gotta get out of here and to the others, there on their
way..."
amber stood and fired towards where the bug had escaped to.
"Hah..n o chance im sharing the kill with them, il get it myself..."
Sall arms fire rattled the celing sending plaster and metal shards
everywhere.
"We have to get out NOW"
John put his arm around Ambers waist and half carried and half
dragged her out. She fought him, kicking, punching and biting, trying
to escape his clutch. Fianlly, with severalnew cuts and bruises he
got her out. The others were just comign around the corner.
"Guys.. its in there... it attacked us, but luckily no-ones hurt..."
He pulled his jacket around his wound so they wouldnt see it.
