Construction Area and Substation (Ground Level)

[from here]

Sam lead the group into the tarped up construction zone. "This way." She says, leading the group up a flight of stairs, around the corner and onto an odd elevator pannel. "This'll be a tight fit..." she says with a shrug. "This lift will take us to an upper street's bridge if I recall..." she says with a sigh. "Such a maze the city has become..."

Khristian wrote:“Yeah, I swear, who decided these alleys should be so small?” He remarked, watching his side. “I also heard that the station has some interactive puzzles from it’s museum days? Who designed this city!?”

"Lot of the city's monuments are puzzle like in design as well. I swear sometimes, this city was built by a Goddamn clown." he says, spinning his revolvers back into their holsters as they entered the construction area, and followed Sam up to a lift. He pushed himself into a small corner, allowing room for Alison and Khristian as well. "Welp, up we go..." He says, as the lift took them to the upper level.

Once their short ride was over, or rather just before it was, Raymond impatiently grabbed a hold of the street and pulled himself up before the small elevator pulled the others onto the street. "We're here." He pointed, to the faraday cages.

There were some people running around on the street, screaming, but Raymond ignored them as he approached the Substation.

"Contact," He says, drawing both revolvers from under his jacket again, firing them off in rapid yet concentrated fire, fending their group from the few zombies terrorizing the street!

"Shit, don't be running off like that Warden!" Ali shouted to the man, spilling out into the street soon after. She aimed her 870 at a small cluster of zombies, and obliterated them with buckshot, before pumping the weapon and turned to the others still behind. "C'mon, lets flip this switch already!" She followed Raymond.

"We just need to head through that fence line, and we'll be inside!" He directed the group between moments of firing both of his revolvers.

Sam was surprised by how much activity that sharply occurred, and unloaded the shotgun upon a stray zombie who lunged at her. "Dammit! What the hell happened? It was so quiet!" She gasped, and could hear 9mm shells being fired by patrol officers building barricades, she saw a glimpse of them, it looked liked Tommy and Karen... but she wasn't sure. She turned to Khristian, making sure he was sticking close to her, before turning to Raymond and Alison. "Okay, secure the station, I'll hang back a bit!" she explained to them, loading another shell to compensate for the arrant shot shell she had recently fired.

KA-BANG- KA-BANG-!

The Warden continued to fire off his revolvers, the .45 ACP conversions screaming through the air as they made their marks. "Shit, these damn freaks are just crawlin' out the woodwork, ain't they?" He commented, as he raised his right arm arm:



KA-BANG!

Another zombie fell that was approaching Alison. "C'mon, get into the plant and get the power on, hurry!" He bellowed, providing them with cover. He came up empty, and began to reload the S.A.A.s, ejecting the spent or misfired shells for each gun one at a time, but at an alarming rate. He then slid in a greased cartridge into each chamber individually and pushed their loading gaits closed. "There's too many, ya'll get surrounded...!" He grumbled, before turning to the trio, firing a shot between his explanation: "Don't wait KA-BANG! up for me! I'm KA-BANG! gonna lead these KA-BANG! shamblin' bastards KA-BANG! away, you three KA-BANG! get the electricity back on and we'll meet up KA-BANG!KA-BANG! ...back at the station!" He barked and before any of them could protest, the Warden ran out into the street, pistol whipping one of the undead's in the face before turning with his spare gun and shooting the zombie next to it.

"C'mon ya gutless, mentally deficient, shamblin' sacks of SHIT!" Raymond screamed as he fired two bullets from the same revolver without alternating with his other hand, sending each round into another pair of zombies faces.



He screamed, whooped, and hollered, grabbing the undead horde's attention. "That's right you mutant freaks of nature, c'mere, come on, suppah's ready you pea-brained shits!" [i][b][font=Impact]KA-BANG!

Within a few moments of departing, most of the horde followed after the Warden as he vanished deeper into the Raccoon City streets.

Alison simply stared, as Raymond led the zombies away. She turned to Sgt. Kamura and blinked with her mouth agape. "D-did he just...?!" she paused, before realizing Khristian was bolting through the door of the station. "Wow, showing us up man." She says with a chuckle, before following Khristian's example. "C'mon Sarge, lets hurry inside before they come back!"

Khristian watched Sam and Alison’s backs as Raymond left the facility. “Pretty interesting for our first double date, huh?” He quipped.

A dead electrical worker was sprawled over a panel that controlled the electrical grid, with easy-ish to follow instructions on how to operate the Substation's and restore power to the grid. He looked like he'd been stabbed multiple times, and seemingly drained of blood. A .357 custom python was loosely hanging from his right hand as well:

Sam backed her way into the Substation loading the M3s shotgun, as Ali covered with the 870. Closing the door, the three now were together.

"Heh, cute." Sam returned, pulling Khristian into a quick yet warm hug, and as Ali was complaining about her date ditching, Sam morbidly pointed over to the desiccated corpse. "He looks single." She says and then wandered over to him.

"Ooof, sorry, seem's he's still got a ring on him." She replied, and looked the weapon over. "A very nice one... Kendo Custom, like Barry's." She says, as she sets the shotgun down and pries the weapon from the corpse's hand. "Glad I got gloves... this guy feels like a crinkly leaf..." she says, grimacing as she manages to pry the weapon from its hands, but not before snapping one of the fingers. "Ugh, he's been dead for a while... what the hell killed him though? A vampire with bad table manners?" She says out loud, turning to the others before checking the .357. "Whatever isn't afraid of a .357 magnum is either very stupid, or not human..." Sam remarked before swinging the crane back into position by hand and... gently, removed the body from the panel so they could see what they were working with to restore power to the grid.

"Could ya hurry up Sarge? I can operate the thing, but we're taking too damn long as it is and I don't want to be in this cage for any longer than we should." she sighed, heading up to the panels with her, and noted odd... strands of webbing? "The hell is this shit, and damn... what the hell happened to that guy?" She asked, noting the desiccated corpse...

“Maybe a chupacabra tagged along with the zombies? They’re supposed to drink blood too.” He remarked, looking at the withered corpse. “Still, didn’t that forensic conference mention that a corpse drained of blood decomposes slower? He could have been here for days like this. How could have no one here noticed someone got turned into a prune?”

Sam chuckled a the mention of the Chupacabra. "Heh, at this point that could be a possibility. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Vicki the Victoria Lake Monster was actually REAL." she commented in response, and began looking over the manual to operate the facility. "Even so, I'd rather not find out for myself if either truly exist at this point." She sighed, before glancing over to the pair. "Okay, we need to activate four breakers according to this..." she said, looking about. "We just flip them on and then pull this main lever." She continued. "A1 and A2 are ground level, A3 and 4 are..." she glanced up... and shook her head. "..on the tower. Fuck me." She sighed. She hated heights.

'B.O.W. Encounter (#)' : 9

The sound of chittering draws near... and 9 of the swift creatures began making their appearance!



They looked like giant weevils, earwigs, pinchers... whatever you call'em, they were just that... simple creatures accidentally mutated by the T-Virus, not that the small group of three realized what that was yet.

They didn't bunch themselves up, and their swift and sleek forms made them capable of slipping underneath the grated platforms and hiding in the pebbles and sand... despite being double the size of a full grown North American German Shepherd! They were ugly buggers, literally. These were 'Scissortails' but they haven't yet been coined such a name yet, with Khristian West, Samantha Kamura, and Alison Marks being the honored beings who managed to live long enough to see these freaks in action!

Some were poisonous... but none of those variants were here. These nine were light brown, and not dark blue with purple veins... they were the creatures responsible for desiccating the corpse whom Sam had looted.

Of the nine, only one boldly introduced itself, raising its scissor like tail up like a scorpion, its clicking mandibles clacking away as it looked between the three and scurried forth!

Sam gasped at the sight of the... monster bug! "We're gonna need a fuck ton of RAID!" Sam spoke up as Khristian and Alison stared at the creature ahead of them! Sam pulled up her pump shotgun and fired a blast at the beast as it scurried towards them! "I need one of you to flip the A3 and A4 switches on the tower!" Sam screamed, firing another shell at the speedy creature! "There's two switches labeled A1 and A2 down here, I-I can't go upward, I hate heights!" Screamed the Sargent!

“I got it!” Khristian called out as moved towards a ladder.

As one of the strange critters chased down the man in the red jacket, a silent bolt wooshed through the air and slammed into the carapace of the foul insect! It bought the man more time, as the sniper through the chain link fence screamed: "GO!"

---

Outside the fenced in area, Lexi 'Lex' Chang loaded another bolt from the quiver taped to her thigh by the Velcro straps, drawing the bowgun pistol and firing another steel bolt into the face of a zombie outside of the power station area! She was in the area looking for supplies for the joint, with her fellow escort Camelia, but the woman had been dragged by giant... wevils? The disgusting bugs dragged her this way, and she followed the blood trail which lead this Chinese-American beauty to the group of three. "Crap, there's a lot of them!" She spat, pushing herself through the gate, now on the other side with the three. She quickly noted the uniforms of two female officers and a slightly heavier young man whom she had helped out moments prior. She closed the gate, and then noted the loose wires from the bug attack, and without thinking, began twisting the copper wire around the chain link fence! It was dumb, if the current had been on, she'd have been fried- but now, she just rigged the chain link fence to be electrified- which could help deal with the zombie situation outside!

She turned around, loading another bolt into the gun when she turned to the insect that she had shot before, and with one arm, shot it again into its tiny, biting face! "Have any of you seen a busty Latina woman in a tight, leopard print dress??" She called out to the officers as she returned her attention on the bug! "Shit, its still not dead!" She spat, running off to the side of the blonde officer, reloading her single-shot bow gun as she ran for their aid!

Alison turned her Remington on the new woman, after hell started breaking loose! She lowered it quickly however when she saw her turn and fuck with the gate. "H-Hey! Do that, and the fence'll...!" She paused. Actually... wait, that's actually a good idea! "N-Never mind, get over here!" She barked, before turning the 12 gauge on the creepy crawly scurrying for them! It took two blasts from a shotgun and a pair of cross bow bolts already, but still was moving!! "What the hell?! Zombies now giant bugs?!" She screamed, firing the pump action twice at the scurrying creature!

“Oh great, giant bugs!” Khristian huffed as he got to the top of the ladder, cradling the shotgun as he found stable footing. He hurried along the narrow path to the switches.

(Sam, Lex, Alison side)

(8/9 Scissor Tails remaining)

The creature, repeatedly shot by buckshot and multiple crossbow bolts let out a strange hissing noise as it shriveled up into a ball, twitching as yellowish green slime rolled from its wounds!

Meanwhile, zombies continued to beat on the fence, rattling the chain link to an annoying, disjointed rhythm. All the while, more of the Scissor Tails appeared!



Hissing, one leaps onto Sam's back, using its small pincer like teeth to nip at the back of her neck while its tail swung between her legs, to latch a firmer hold of her! Another appeared before Lex and Ali, crawling down the side of a transformer, hissing at them from behind! It leaped down at Lex, pincer's latched at her throat, tail swiping across Alison's face as it pulled Lex off the small rise of the platform and onto the dirt path a foot below! A third appeared, to gain up on Lex as she struggled with the one trying to bite her neck!

(Khristian side)

As Khristian West climbed the metal rungs, the sound of gunfire and the screeching bugs hardly dwindled. Upon reaching the metal mesh catwalk of sorts, he'd notice a similar desiccated corpse past a row of flourishing green herbs; three of them in fact:



Held in the arms of this corpse, who looked like a maintenance worker like the one down below Sam took the revolver off of, an open camouflaged duffle bag:



The contents of which was plenty, even from a simple glance over, one could see the number of resources lain within:


4 boxes of .50AE (x86 in total- three full boxes and one with 11 cartridges), 3 boxes of .357 shells (x57 in total- 2 full boxes and one with seven loose cartridges) and three, empty speed loaders:




A full box and a half (x75) rounds of 9mm, not that he'd find out that yet.



There was also an M92FS handgun with a full sized (15 round) magazine, and another tucked inside an inner pouch.

An empty leather holster for what looked like a large revolver was inside- and was likely the large gun Sam found down below. Aside from this miraculous stash of munition, there was a blindingly, 'sunshine yellow' and hard to miss card key:



There also seemed to be a scrap of paper tucked inside, a note? It would be ignored for now... whatever these two power workers were doing however, it seemed they were well stocked and prepared but seemingly grabbed whatever they could get a hold on. A lot of .50 Action Express shells in spite of a weapon for the cartridge not laying about, thankfully the 9mm and .357 ammunitions would be of immediate usefulness!

---

Just past the corpse, the catwalk made an 'L' shape, leading to a transformer, behind him, the catwalk did the same but the opposite direction, whilst also leading up a stairwell to what looked like an enclosed office- the window overlooking the power station from a higher vantage point. The other path, opposite of this 'office' led to another transformer box. The sound of zombies and the skittering creature's below not letting up! And speaking of the devil!



One of the mutated earwig like creatures skittered along the catwalk past the corpse and supplies! It made an eerie hissing sound as it reared back its tail, the scissor like blades 'snapping' as it prepared to charge Khristian!

As he got his footing on the floor, Khristian spotted the corpse and the herbs, pulling the shotgun around to his back as he kneeled down. “Huh, guess you got unlucky pal, sorry about that, but maybe I can use these to help the others. Maybe I can use your bag?” He mused, trying to not disrespect the corpse of the person who he was taking supplies off of, gently tugging away the duffel, opening it up and revealing its contents. “….wow, maybe I should have bought lottery tickets yesterday….” He remarked as he scoured the bag. He shrugged as he put the herbs in the duffel, slinging it over his shoulder, before checking over the keycard. “I mean, the odds are… screw it, focus on not dying for now.” As he was checking on the new beretta from the duffel, one of those cockroach/centipede things appeared out of nowhere and started charging the writer! “Shit!” He exclaimed as he opened fire upon the grotesque creature, five shots tearing through the exoskeleton before falling dead on the floor. “Hah, Hah… phew. Maybe I should save the shotgun for now, if a few 9mm rounds will kill these things…” he said to himself as he stepped around the oozing carcass, before making his way towards the switches at a brisk pace.

Samantha reacted as one would expect-

"JESUS CHRIST ON A STICK!!!"

-panicking as the creepy crawly attached to her back bit down on the back of her neck with its small pincers, feeling the thing's tail swinging between her thighs, wrapping around to her crotch?! "Haaaaaaaaah?!" Screamed the embarrassed, terrified police sergeant! Sam swung her body trying to unlatch the unwanted piggy-backer, the painful pincers digging into her flesh causing blood to roll down her back! Its trying to eat me alive! She lamented, before deciding to do something stupid. She relaxed her body, (as best one in her situation could), and simply dropped backwards as if she was in one of those bull shit 'trust exercises' Damian joked about having at the station- as they'd all leave Irons' hanging!

She winced, bracing for the impact as the creepy thing clung tightly to her body!
