Alright, so Covert ran an event yesterday night that killed off my character Seth Brode. I sorta dramatized up the round and only included the main bits. Basically after this I am going to write up a funeral part were you guys can post what your characters do and stuff (if they come...you dont have too 
)). So um...yeah thanks for reading and all that.
A small sigh escaped his lips as he looked around the office. Getting up from his chair he walked around the desk to the filing cabinet on the other side, looking for a specific one under the B section. The fingers went up and down the folders till they finally pulled out the folder labeled "Seth Brode" same as the man's ID. Seth opened the file and instantly saw the paper on his
demotion and suspension of his position at central command and on any security or heads of staff duties aboard Aurora. Some more turning of the pages continued to show service records, medical history, and family. All things Seth had looked at before. A sudden ring was heard that signified the cargo ship docking at the station. There wasn't much to pick up from this shipment, some medical supplies that Shielo had requested and a extra supply of metal for the engineering team. The airlocked opened as it scanned Seth’s id and he made his way to the cargo deck. A few technicians were already moving around in there, unloading some crates and loading more on. The wooden clipboard rested on his side as he observed the workers. Most were young adults, not that much older than 20 he assumed. After the crates were moved out the technicians gave a nod and seth walked back into the other room to send the shuttle back to command.
Phoenix Rock was talking about something stupid on the radio, Seth didn't say anything he simply listened and had a small grin on his face. No orders were coming in and Seth felt no need to go back to paperwork. Drinks sounded like a good idea as Seth left the cargo office heading east to the bar. On his way he passed by Anna Rose, he gave her a small smile, she didn't make any notice of him. Turning down the hall above the bridge he could see the captain and Head of Security having a conversation. It didn't look too serious but you could never tell on the other side of an airtight window. Once he entered the bar he noticed it was more empty than usual. Cian gave a small nod as Seth walked in.
“Ah Brode hows it going?” Cian smiled as he finished cleaning a glass.
“Its going good Cian, can I get a martini?” Seth asked as he sat down on the stool.
“Coming right up Seth.” Cian turned around and began getting the martini ready. The two men had a friendly conversation. It started out about small stuff and eventually they got onto the terrorist attacks on the station from a few weeks back. Cian still didnt believe that even since Seth was still suspended that he worked as a Liaison officer for the Eridani Federation's military. The friendly chat was broken up as the Head of Security Phoenix Rock walked in, talking about how if you roll a twenty on a twenty sided dice you are suddenly a winner. Cian had to take a call on his PDA and walked into the back room, leaving Seth and Rock in the bar.
“Oh come on Seth your old don't you know how hard it is to roll a twenty?” Rock stated as he continued rolling the dice.
“I'm forty five thank you very much, but yes its not a common thing to do.” Seth grinned as he watched Rock get angry at the die until eventually it rolled off the table and nobody got it. “So lets see here Rock, you can't roll a twenty, and you cant beat an engineering in a boxing match.” The grin on Seth’s face grew larger as he knew that talking about Emilia and Phoenix fighting was going to get on his nerves.
“If its so fucking funny Brode why don't you fight her, and it was one time alright!” Seth wasn't done yet and still wanted to continue pestering him. “Alright how about this Phoenix we make a bet.” Seth paused and waited for Rock to nod back, then he continued. “Five hundred credits if you beat Emilia next time the two of you spar, if you win then you get five hundred, you loose I get your five hundred. Deal?”
Rock held out his hand. “Deal” The two shook hands. “So on-” Rock was cut off by a large explosion sound. Both men turned their heads when another sound was heard this time distorting the gravity on the station as both men stumbled around the room. Comms were going crazy with information. Asking what was going on, was it a bomb, was it a experiment. Rock ran off to the bridge to talk with the captain and Seth walked back to cargo.
A few minutes later Rock was outside Seths door knocking on the window. “Seth, we got a problem.” Seth turned around and looked over at Rock as he continued. “Some xenobiologist just found some structure on the asteroid and he is getting some strange readings off of it. Were sending a team over, I want someone I can trust with me.” Seth took a deep breath and nodded then said, “Alright, let me get my gear.”
About ten minutes later a small four man team was ready. Seth Brode, Phoenix Rock, Jackson Frost, and another security officer. A combat drone was reported in the area to have been malfunctioning so as a precaution the HoS gave Seth an Ion Rifle that was now slung around Seth’s shoulder. It was time to go but Phoenix wasn't giving any orders so Brode took a step forward. “Alright listen up! When we get on the asteroid station FOLLOW ME! I know the way around. Armando I want you at the back, Doctor Frost stay in the middle of the group its going to make it easier, Rock you and me will take point. Everyone got it? Good.” Seth barked the orders out fast, not so fast that nobody could hear it, but enough that he was certain they understood him. A yes sir came from Armando and Jackson nodded to him. Phoenix walked up and turned to everyone, “Alright lets go.” The team got onto the shuttle and was off to the mining outpost.
After a few minutes of walking on the asteroid the team reached the dig sight. Flood lights were outside so they knew this had to be it. Just as the four men walked up to the dig area an engineer and a scientist walked out from around a corner. After a short explanation of why they were waiting for the team everyone was ready to head in. Another few minutes of walking and everyone suddenly stopped. In Front of them was a gigantic green structure. It was dug real deep into the rocks on all sides. A feeling of dread swept over the entire team as everyone started looking around at one another. Some eyes were glancing back the way they came, but something was drawing them in. Was it interest, greed, curiosity, or just simply human nature? But when the Armond pushed open the green door something didn't feel right. The entire team could feel air rushing out of the room. Yet everyone stepped forward. Turning down the one way hallways. Room after room was filled with ancient and strange looking devices. In one room Seth moved a rock and saw a axe sitting down. When he picked it up the blade began to vibrate at an insane speed and the point glowed red. The scientist pointed out that it’s an old version of an Unathi vibroaxe. Seth placed it on a hook that his hard suit had on it. Eventuraly the team made there way to a small door yet again. Jackson somehow ended up in the front with Seth just behind him.
Slowly Jackson began to open the door. Inside he saw a giant purple beast. With a huge tail and long scythe like arms. Luckily it was sleeping in its nest. But unluckily Jackson didnt notice this until he had opened the door and the sight of this made him jump, causing his foot to trip over a rock that was placed on the ground. Seth held up his arm and motioned for everyone to go back. Rock and Armond began to make room for the engineer and scientist to go out untill Rock moved forward to check on Jackson. Slowly the doctor began to stand up but was still nervious for have falling inside the nest with the beast. As he started to unwrap his hand from the vines he pulled one trying to get it to off of his hand. Nerviously he pulled hard on the vine and ripped it in half but at the same time pulled up a chunk of rock that the vine was connected to. The chunck hit the ground with a large THUD. Instantly the beast opened its eyes and shot up out of its sleep.
“Shit! Seth lets go!” Rock screamed as the gigantic beast roared its mighty roar. In a second Seth ran forward and pulled Jackson up, some vines were still wrapped in his body as Seth tried desperately to remove them. The alien beast was getting angrier as it slowly gained its strength. Finally the vines snapped in half and Seth picked up Jackson and threw him down the hall into Rock. Phoenix caught him in his arms and told him to follow Armand who had come back to check on the HoS. In the last second Rock yelled, “Seth watch out!”
Brode turned around just in time to see the tail coming down at his head. Quickly he dived to the floor just missing the tail. Rock rushed into the room and looked at Seth who was now getting up. The alien gave a mighty roar once again and stood up tall, its head just touching the top of the room. Seth walked over to Phoenix and pushed him out the door. A curious look went onto to Rocks face, “Seth what are you doing!”
“That thing is going to come after you if all of leave...I will hold it off. GO!” With that Seth pulled the door shut and swung his Ion rifle off of his shoulder placing it over the door so it would not be opened. Over the radio Phoenix was yelling for Seth to open the door but no reply was given. A few bangs on the door were heard but eventually Rock gave up and said something under his breath. The beast gave Seth no time to catch his breath it went right onto the attack. It used its tail swiping and swinging at Seth who was only doging it by ducking behind a rock and getting on his belly. This was when he remembered the axe. He removed the strap on the hardsuit and let the axe fall into his arms. Just like last time the axe began to vibrate and grow red. The beast swung its tail again but this time was met with the blade of the axe. A scream was let out, much louder and more menacing than the roars. Seth stumbled backwards and felt himself get thrown across the room. His entire body slammed into the side of the wall as Seth let out a scream. Quickly he got up and took out a knife he still had on himself. There was no way to hit the beast with the knife but he still wasn't going to just give up and die. Instincts were kicking in, time was speeding up, the area around him was turning into a black fog leaving only him and the beast in sight. After a minute of rolling and dodging Seth was tired, these thing kept attacking and slashing and he had no way to stop it. Over the radio he heard that the team was at the shuttle.
Once again he was hit by the tail and thrown across the room. This time, he was stuck there. The tail was holding him up against the wall. His hands couldnt move and he was suspended off the ground. The alien pulled its right arm back and swung it at Brodes neck. A few feet away and time slowed down. Images of Seth’s life flashed before his eyes. His mother, father, brothers and sisters. Faces of his squad mates from the war, the first time he had ever killed someone. Emilia sitting on her plane holding dog tags in her hand. A wedding ring under his desk that would never be worn that was resting next to a medal that he didnt deserve. Then everything went black. A body dropped to the floor.
