Lara, you are the most valuable member of our squad, you do an exceptional job being a medic... and if you lose a person now and then, yeah, it sucks, but you can only do so much. You help out, you're there when we need you, and you're a solid shot. There's nothing mediocre about you.

Lmfao.
We just want people who'll work as a team, occasionally listen to squad leader like orders and generally NOT be an idiot.
If you wanted to seriously get into XPC, Faust. We'd gladly let you in.

Aw Faust, you're a veritable diety here... especially with your axe... you should call yourself Gimli or something. And Macon, I can't beat wave two on normal, and wave one only on maps that are really open... couldn't beat the first on Biotics, Wasteyard, Office or Grudge. Trust me, you'll see with a team things are different. |

Trust me, you'll see with a team things are different. That's funny, I am quite the opposite, having an easier time in closed maps, as my environmental awareness is bloody awful and I tend to run into mobs while retreating in open areas. I can reliably reach Wave 3 on Offices and Biotics when soloing, but don't ask me to do that in Manor. Tunnel-vision indeed. Oh, and the obligatory go and write some more you procrastinating literary drug dealer. You got this junkie addicted and now I want more under threat of me going sick and vomiting a fan fic from the abstinence. ;D |

Whiners... all of you... lol...
Lara grabbed Wolf's arm urgently. "We need to find a back door out of this place," she said, her voice partially muted by gunfire. Wolf nodded to her, and together they loped back into the building.
"Stay low and try to be quiet," the medic whispered. Wolf followed her instructions, trying to shy away from the nearby windows. The library was a wreck, most of its books missing or molding. The place was old and musty, but looked unmolested by the monsters. In the back of the library was an arched doorway that led to a small, disorganized kitchen. As they searched, the sounds of intermittent gunfire continued along with an undulating wave of screams and moans from outside.
Through another door they found themselves in a reading room, and at the back of that, an exit to the rear of the building. Moving to the small windows that flanked it, they peered cautiously outside, looking for anything that might have gotten around them. The streets were empty, save for an overrun roadblock that looked to have been set up by militia.
Lara pressed on Wolf's shoulder, urging him to remain where he was and placed a finger against her lips. He nodded and ducked out of sight. The female soldier crept back out of the room, leaving Wolf to himself, the popcorn-like sound of combat muffled by the walls. He looked around a bit, noting the two large, comfortable reading chairs and various scattered books. A fireplace sat cold and full of ash before them, and above it hung, somewhat out of place, a simple and elegant Japanese sword. Wolf debated for a moment and then decided it would be more of a hindrance then a help. He wondered briefly what kind of librarian would need a sword.
A moment later the gunfire ceased, and the rest of Alpha entered the room. Wolf stood and nodded to them. Butcher gestured to the door, which Wolf opened, and the team moved outside.
"Looks like they didn't notice..." muttered the commander as they moved past the militia road block. He stopped to glance down the road while the rest of the team moved by. Wolf stopped and glanced back at him, wondering what he was doing, when he noticed something strange in the air behind his leader. It was like a heat mirage, moving quickly along the pavement towards the Alpha team leader. Dread filled him like a pool of cold liquid in his chest.
"Behind you!" was all he could croak out as the mirage suddenly sharpened into one of the nude female creatures. Butcher turned in a flash and fired a shot into it's sternum. In the same motion, the monster buried its claws into his shoulders, screeching in pain and anger.
The team spun quickly, bringing their weapons to bear but holding back when they saw Butcher was in the way. The commander grunting in pain and dropped his pistol to grab the thing's claws. It forced him back against a ruined pickup truck, wrestling to get free and cause more damage.
"Push it off, give us a shot!" cried Soul, shouldering his shotgun and drawing his pistol.
Their commander's face was a grimace of anger and pain. He could feel the monster's talons in his flesh, trying to reach something vital. The thing was strong, and it's weight was forcing him back down against the street underneath it. He could feel the creature's body writhing against his, trying to gain the purchase it needed to overpower and eviscerate him. "You... goddamned... bitch..." he grunted as he fell. He to the side and saw salvation in the arms of a corpse. Reversing his grip, he pulled the female assailant closer and then rammed his forehead into her face. He could feel something break under the head-butt, and for a second, a fraction of time, the thing let up it's pressure.
He grabbed the dead man's gift that lay beside him and slammed it into the head of the now-bleeding horror. It released him and reeled back, giving Butcher just enough room to swivel the twin barrels of the hunting shotgun in line with it's body.
God I hope this thing is loaded, he thought as he pulled the trigger. The blast was enormous, the twin heavy grade buckshot utterly obliterating it's body above the thighs and turning it into a fine red vapor. He stood up and spat on the legs that twitched on the road. "How'd that taste?" he asked victoriously. Picking up a sack of shells that lay near the previous owner's hand, he tied it onto his harness haphazardly and fished out two to reload.
Alpha stood quietly for a moment. Macon let out a low whistle. When Lara moved to help him, he looked up. "No time," he said, silencing her before she spoke. "We need to go."
