07. The Corridor
[Base] [Control]: Team Kitty, you are go to clear the new corridor.
[Base] [Scythe]: Understood, Control. We're moving now.
[Base] [Control]: Good hunting, Kitty.
[Team Kitty] [Scythe]: All right, let's do this. I want to be back by dinner.
[Team Kitty] [Fang2]: You actually look forward to that slop they serve us? You sure you're human?
[Team Kitty] [Fang1]: Shut the **** up.
[Team Kitty] [Scythe]: Claws, Spots, you've got point-shield duty. Go.
[Team Kitty] [Spots]: Yes sir.
[Team Kitty] [Claws]: On it.
[Team Kitty] [Hairball]: Pretty damn quiet for a corridor.
[Private-to-Buddy] [Claws]: Hey, I don't like this. Stay close.
[Private-to-Buddy] [Spots]: Okay, Claws.
[Team Kitty] [Fang2]: Where the hell are the bugs?
[Team Kitty] [Whiskers]: Halfway down now.
[Team Kitty] [Fang1]: Wait, hear that?
[Team Kitty] [Fang2]: Hear wh—****!!!
[Base] [Control]: Kitty, we've had no status from you for ten, what is your status?
[Team Kitty] [Fang]: NEW SHELLS! ONE O'CLOCK!
[Team Kitty] [Scythe]: SHIELDS! Cover the sniper!
[Team Kitty] [Claws]: Shields hot, go!
[Team Kitty] [Fang]: Got one—got 'em both!
[Team Kitty] [Scythe]: Close! Close up now! Finish off the rest, we need those bodies!
[Base] [Control]: Scythe, do you read!
[Base] [Scythe]: We have two new carapace designs, Control. Confirming... two body types not typical for this area. We're clearing to them now.
[Base] [Control]: ****. Good job. But ****.
[Base] [Scythe]: Copy that, Control.
[Private-to-Buddy] [Claws]: Did good on that.
[Private-to-Buddy] [Spots]: Just like practice. Just a little gorier.
[Private-to-Buddy] [Claws]: *
laugh* You're all right, Spots.
