<strong>LCpl. Roman "Rome" Benke</strong><br/><br/>As Rome stepped inside the room and checked his ammo counter he heard MSgt. O'Shay begin the verbal assault he knew would come.<strong>"ROME! WHAT THE HE..."</strong>MSgt. O'Shay was interrupted by hellish shrieking accompanied by sounds of movement; metal on metal perhaps. Rome already had the M-56 swung in the direction of the opposite corridor and widened his stance slightly, lowering his center of gravity. He clenched his teeth in a show of feral resolve to defeat whoever or whatever rushed to meet them.<br/><br/><strong>"INCOMING!"</strong>came the call from MSgt. O'Shay over the radio channel.<strong>"Look alive ladies!</strong>Rome added as he retreated back into the hallway to take advantage of whatever cover and concealment it offered. His feral grin faded fleetingly as he saw the creature that spilled into the room like a rabid dog.<strong>"SUPRESS!"</strong>MSgt. O'Shay yelled out even as Rome squeezed the trigger spitting lead at the ghastly creature. Suddenly, three other creatures poured into the ransacked school room and immediately dispersed into flanking positions...<em>ALONG THE WALLS!</em>The fourth creature leaped up to the ceiling and scurried towards them as easily as if it were on the floor.<br/><br/>Rome's combat instincts kicked in and took over as he began yelling, screaming, taunting, and cursing their attackers like a man possessed.<strong>"YEAH!YEAH!"</strong>-M-56 burst-<strong>"THAT'S IT!"</strong>-M-56 burst-<strong>"COME GET SOME!"</strong>-M-56 burst-<strong>"WOOOOO!"</strong>-M-56 burst-<strong>"COME TO DADDY!</strong>His expression was sadistic, his movements fluid and practiced. As he sprayed the room with lead and flung taunts at the creatures, he and the rest of Bravo Team slowly retreated back down the hallway from which that had come.
