Eradicating the Infestation

I decided to play Space Hulk the other day. This is what happened...

There was movement in the corner of the corridor. The ancient ships emergency lighting flickered and sparked spasmodically, illuminating the remains beneath it in a vicious red glow. Jostien could see how the Imperial forces had failed to wipe out the xenos infestation. The whirring of dying machines, the xenos scuttling and the deep crunching of metal was disrupting their sensors. Steadying his stalker bolter, Jostien took the right corridor and waited patiently for his foes to approach. 

"Wade here, xenos sighting confirmed. Proceeding forward," voxed in the reiver Sgt. 

"Just waiting for the bastards to reveal their ugly heads. Hold your ground or they are likely to flank you and Radford," ordered Jostien.

From the base of the corridor they came. A river of shining white and vibrant pinks. Radford held his ground firing his bolter down the long corridor. Each popped in a spray of shimmering, lurid green that ate away at the metal where it landed. He turned to his comrade and saw that Wade held the tide in his corridor. His heavy bolt pistol in hand, the astartes emptied the magazine point blank into each of his assailants heads,  they popped like ripened fruit, coating the wall behind in the thick acidic ichor.  Advancing over their dead, the genestealers sunk their claws into his armour like it was flesh. Swiftly drawing his combat blade he made light work of his foes. With the corridor clear in front of him he made his way to the end of the corridor. In the old elevator he saw them. Each beast was slowly stirring from its slumber, sluggishly waking from their stasis. With a few carefully thrown frag grenades, Wade destroyed his sluggish adversaries. 

Enraged by losing their kin, the genestealers fought with even more fury. Striding down the corridor at an alarming speed they made their approach. Radford shot three off of the ceiling and one off of either wall before they were upon him. Slashing a mighty claw across his throat and delving another claw deep into his abdomen, his body fell limp in his killers arm. Turning their attention back to where they had awoken, the genestealers saw the skull-faced marine approach. Jamming his pistol, he threw it aside and flung himself into the horrors before him. The first had no time to react as he decapitated it with his preliminary stroke, before knocking it aside to stab the other repeatedly in the front of its carapace. It's blood coated his hands burning through armour, flesh, then bone. Roaring in dismay, he watched as three out of his five fingers fused with his dagger and then dripped off of his palm. 

Screaming three corridors away, Ufuk fell with his jammed bolter in his hands. It's mechanisms destroyed by the acidic build up, he had been left defenceless and caught unaware. Turning his attention onto his dying brother, Ugo sprayed his bolter down the corridor. Flipping onto the ceiling, his target dodged the volley of fire. Launching from its vantage point the terror cleaved the marine in two with its mighty talons. Knowing the intruders had almost been wiped out, the tyranid screeched in triumph and charged the marine Captain.  Overwhelmed on all sides Jostein floored one and then a second before his clip was emptied.  The blood soaked tyranid connected with his chest and slashed him open across the abdomen.  As his innards fell from him, he hit the distress signal. What had he started? He thought to himself as his vision went to black.

Grappling into the ceiling, Wade propelled himself into the xenos. Punching it with fury and hatred, his now fingerless hand entered the xenos skull. Biting out the throat of a second, he was hit with an arterial spray of acid. As he dissolved the one remaining genestealer bit into his helmet, removing skull, bone and brain. 

Victorious and alert, the lone warrior stalked off to wake up the rest of his brood.
