After Niles knocked a piece of the definitely extraterrestrial fungus from the ceiling the entire branching organism seemed to contract and shudder, flaring white hot for a moment before it died back down to its normal vivid red. Tile fell from the ceiling where it had just been crisply burned through by the passive aggressive rot in disarming clatters. What it revealed was a massive network of the fungus that had taken up residence through the building for as far as the eye could follow. Sinister flitting shapes seemed to populate the giant hive of fungus, their steps causing thrumming vibrations through the fungal system that reverberated down to the base of rot above their heads. Where the great eukaryotic contagion slackened the heat seemed to dissipate, steadily turning from red to a necrotic gray.<br/><br/>All of the sudden there was a lightning quick scything motion as what appeared to be a bull crossed with a mantis dropped down behind Niles. Its long abdomen was furred with four great muscled legs that tapered down to hooves. The thorax was reminiscent of a brown furred Atlas, though the resemblence to that Titan ended with the two great pairs of scything arms it had used to cut through the fungus. What really set this chimeric Xenomorph apart from the rest was its powerful bovine face, replete with curling horns reminiscent of a ram's and glowing yellow eyes. Those great scything arms grasped a hold of the English soldier and abruptly jumped forward, literally smashing through the wall that was between them and freedom. It fell four stories with ease, hooves creating cracks in the concrete from the tens of thousands of pounds of force it directed through four small points of contact. With one swift arc of an arm Natasha was separated from her rifle, then the force pistol that had been at her side, before it began slicing through the armor that shelled her succulent body.<br/><br/>Another of those praying mantis bull Xenomorphs dropped from the net of fungus, knocking Sinclair to the ground with a powerful body slam. It knocked the force pistol from her hand, sending it skittering across the floor before it set to battering her, with blow after blow raining down on the woman's mesh suit. After the first ten scything strikes it began to peel away the suit that had protected her from blows that would eviscerate any normal human, liquefying their internal organs with ease from the sheer force of such a blow. The Xenomorph's back legs sawed together as it peeled away the mesh suit, letting out a grating sound not at all unlike fingernails on a chalk board. The kind of sound that made your mouth pucker and the side of your head hurt.<br/><br/>The Xenomorph atop Niles made a jubilant call in return, if such a creature could be said to experience happiness or joy. Once it had finished peeling her struggling, contrary body there was a great stirring in the sheathe that hung heavy between its thick, shaggy legs. A large, thick, rigid red organ extended, perhaps signaled by the chattering of the other Xenomorph, or perhaps triggered by the taut young female body that lay beneath it. The Xenomorph that had pinned Sinclair followed suit, each of them roughly pushing the young women  roughly towards the thick alien members before spearing them on hard, fleshy rods.
