Inside the Derelict Ship

Post by Joshua » Thu Jun 30, 2022 11:58 pm

After boarding the abandoned ship, the Neo-Prussian Black Wolves Division have been slowly making their way to the ship's main cargo bay.

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Let's see if those access codes work here as well..."

Image
'beep' 'boop' 'beep' 'beep'

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Ah! Excellent!"

Wolf: "I've got a bad feeling about this place."

Image

Himmelsjäger: "After you, gentlemen."

Image

Image
The three mutants explore the dimly lit corridor, finding nothing unusual.

Image
'buttons pressed' 'wsshh'

Image

Mutant: "We've got more bodies!"

Himmelsjäger: "More? Damn."

Image

Mutant: "This area is secure, you can come over."

Image

Wolf: "What the hell happened here?"

Wolf #2: "We may never know."

Image

Himmelsjäger: "This door should lead to the main cargo bay."

Pilot: (over comms) "Affirmative, you're almost their. But stay alert, because the Akkadians are heading towards the cargo bay as well from the opposite direction."


So yeah, I decided to make this a Soap Opera, because it was going to be too complicated and piece heavy for me to have both the Akkadians and Prussians moving through the ship. Stay tuned for more to come!

So cool to see 'my' minifigs going for it. :tiger: :studgod: Getting Event Horizon vibes from this. Hopefully things won't be as bad.

Image
'Vvvvvvvv'

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Bingo!"

Image

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Confirmed! This is pure OT!"

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Now we'll have to transport all of this."

Image

???: "I'm afraid not, Prussians..."

Image
'beep'

Image
'light flashes to green'

???: "Muhahaha!"

Image
'hissss'

Image
Wolf: "What the?"

Wolf #2: "Gas! Activate ventilators!"

Image

Corpse: "Ghhrr..."

Image

Zombie: "Grar!"

Wolf: "Look out!"

Image
'bam!'

Image

Zombie: "Glraw..."

Image
'blam!'

Image

Zombie: "Blargh!"

'bam!'

Image

Wolf: "What the hell! Have they managed to turn the Peach Virus into a gas?"

Wolf #2: "Someone had to activate the air vents! We're not alone!"

Image

Pilot: "Shit! I'm detecting dozens of other life signatures popping up!"

'faint guttural zombie noises'

Himmelsjäger: "Ugh, not again..."

Hey Joe, you wanna play a zombie game?!

I'm sure a seasoned squad of Neo-Prussian infantry will have no issue with some stumbling zombies. The Himmelsjäger alone can slice and dice those guys. They have plenty of experience with them.

I heard CoD zombie noises when I read this. Wonder how the Akkadians are faring.

A Little While Later:

Image
'laser rifle noises'

Image
Wolf: "I think we've just about cleaned up the last of them."

Image
'metal bang'

Wolf: "What the?"

Image

???: "Don't shoot!"

Image

Akkadian Pilot: "Don't shoot! We surrender!"

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Hold your fire! I'll handle this."

Image

Akkadian Officer: 'Take us as your prisoners if you want, but just get us off this metal hulk!"

Himmelsjäger: "Yeah, right. You'll just kill us and take the OT."

Akkadian Officer: "No, you can have the OT. Besides, we don't have a ship to take it to anymore. We've been abandoned, remember?"

Himmelsjäger: "True, but I still don't trust you."

Image
'Vvvvv' 'splut'

Image

Akkadian: "I think that's the last that was chasing us."

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Alright, move over to the opposite wall, but I want your hands where I can see them!"

Image

Wolf: "Don't try anything, Akkadians, or you're dead meat."

Image
'gunshots'

Image

Wolf: "Man down!"

Akkadian Pilot: "Shit!"

Image

Wolf: "Still got a pulse!"

Image

Wounded Wolf: "Rrr..."

Image

Wounded Wolf and Akkadian: "Gharrr..."

Akkadian: "Aah!"

Image
'slice' 'bang'

Image

Akkadian Pilot: "We're all gonna die!"

Himmelsjäger: "..."

Image

Himmelsjäger: "There's only one gun that can turn someone into the Undead that quickly..."


(anyone have any guesses?)

I'm gonna guess it's part of Sharane Darkstar's Immortal branch using some accelerated form of the Peach Virus, or someone using Bragina's Yellow Virus (which would explain why the Prussians knew about it).

A minute later:

Image

Image

Wolf: "Everybody stay close. Alright, let's move!"

Image

Image
'creak'

Image
KA-BOOOOM!!!

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Ugh..."

Image

Zombie Lincoln: "Here's Johnny!"

Image

Heavy Weapons Wolf: "Fire in the hole!"

Image
'fffwoosh'

Image
'ssshblamm!!'

Image

Zombie Lincoln: "You think that will stop me? Pathetic..."

Image
'bam'

Image

Heavy Weapons Wolf: "Ughe"

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Open fire!"

Image

Image

Wolf: "Hurry!"

Image

Zombie Lincoln: "Hup!"

Image
'SMG noises'

Image

Wolf: "Everybody through!"

Other Wolf: 'What about the Himmelsjäger?"

Wolf: 'She gave us a direct order, and besides, she can handle herself."

Image
'bvvv thdd' The Himmelsjäger swings her beam-sabre directly at ZL, but he somehow parries the attack with his AK-47.

Image
Zombie Lincoln then shoves the Himmelsjäger back, causing her to check her balance for a moment.

Image

Zombie Lincoln: "Hello there..."

Image
'crack'

Image

Image
'bvvvsplat'

Image

Himmelsjäger: "How?"

Zombie Lincoln: "It takes more than just a simple sword swipe to kill me!

Himmelsjäger: "Fall back! To the ship!"

Image

Zombie Lincoln: "Where do you think you're going?

Image
'bang' 'zzt'

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Quickly! Shut the door!"

Image
'Slam!'

Himmelsjäger: "Whew!"

Image

Himmelsjäger: "To the ship! That won't hold them for long!"

Image
'distant bang'

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Detach the ship! Detach the ship!"

Image
Just in the nick of time, the Dominator detaches from the derelict ship.

Image

Himmelsjäger: "Target that ship and fire all weapons."

Image
'laser noises'

Image
BOOOOOOOM!!!!! BA-BOOOM!!!

Image
KA-BLOOOM!!!

Image

Image

Himmelsjäger: "All ships, let's return to base and give Bragina and Der Kaiser the news."

And so, the Neo-Prussian ships escape with part of the OT cache, and a few Akkadian prisoners. The derelict ship containing a gaseous Peach Virus and Zombie Lincoln was destroyed.

Well. That happened. Although I feel like it's not over yet.
Either way, HYPE.

Zombie Lincoln was destroyed... OR WAS HE?

Maybe, maybe not. I suppose we'll have to find out.
