You rebuilt me from near hamburger. Don't tell me you can't at least do them some good."<br/><br/>(OOC: This won't wash. If the soldiers got there under their own power, they're less critically injured than Andy was. Therefore Oka should be able to heal them, if not completely, at least enough that they'll survive. I know they're _only_ NPCs, but as a GM myself, I dislike it intensely when a GM kills off NPCs needlessly. The point has beeen made, the thing is really dangerous.)<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Zung wrote:</cite>Iphar came around the corner and looked at the people.<br/>"Shame...We didn't bring a medic with us, otherwise these locals might survive, best we could do now would be to put them out of thier misery."

Mary said looking at Thar and Iphar talking.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"Then I will!" Andy was getting annoyed again. He stepped out, face like thunder. "I'd have expected better of you. You're a soldier too, you should be the one working out the best way to save them, not give up. If not from common decency, from an intelligence viewpoint.<br/><br/>"We're going to have to go up there, that train blocks our progress and I can see rubble inside it from here. We need to know what's up there..."<br/><br/>He was out in full view of the soldiers now. "I'm a human with genetic modifications based on fox genes, don't get freaked out. I'm also a scout, trained in first aid." He put down his pack and pulled out a smaller pack. "I don't know if I can do anything to help, but unlike some people, I intend to try."<br/><br/>He went over to the nearest one and assessed his injuries. (I assume these guys are locals, not PDF or Imperial Guard brought through with the monsters.)<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Then a man in blak power armor and white robes that bear a black cross tumbles down the steps grave ly wounded. "Damn the xeno scum!" He looked at at Thar and Iphar "At last Battle brothers of the gray kinghts. Theres a hive Tyrent above it must be slan brothers befor this word falls to it. But i can no longer fight take my bolter and power sword, and goe forth in the emperors na.... na..... name.............................." he falls backward droping his weapons.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"Hive Tyrant? Oh, no no no." Andy wasn't a Warhammer 40k player himself, but he had framework friends who were fans of the 20th century wargame. He'd picked up enough about the background to recognise a Tyranid genotype, and the style of speech the latest casualty had used. He didn't need to look for the Imperial Aquilla. An Inquisitor, maybe Ordos Xenos?<br/><br/>If the thing had been brought through as a solo creature, like most of the others, there was a chance the planet could be saved. If there were breeding genotyopes... Even the Empire of Man, with it's massive war machine and lost age of technology gear had a hard time stopping a tyranid invasion. Contemporary forces were utterly boned.
