(You do realise these are solid metal robots right? XD, also the personality of any destroyed drone plus it's memories will be immediately sent to JETE to save it, and they don't scream.)

Tson There’s more than meets the eye to this creature...and it also has very corrosive saliva that can cut through very dense material.

Boiled_Cabbage Yes hello, anything you need?

Boiled_Cabbage

Boiled_Cabbage The ships launch a few craft, which fly down to the surface of the planet. They release their compliment of 13 Marines each.

;-;

the_guy545

Boiled_Cabbage Oh sorry

the_guy545

Boiled_Cabbage Gotta go somewhere, I’ll be back soon

Boiled_Cabbage

the_guy545 k.

the_guy545

Boiled_Cabbage I’m back

the_guy545

Boiled_Cabbage The Marines exit their craft, their first priority to get to the facility. Their ship landed in a large canyon, which was a perfect place to hide their shuttle from radar systems. They march down into the canyon. Their GPS systems say that they are about 7 miles away from the base.

the_guy545 the soldiers continue to build up there presence in the area in and around the base and a exploratory team is sent to the main bunker entrance of the base

The Marines keep marching down to the base.

The IFV fires into the bushes anyway, and the Napalm round explodes with a loud bang, setting the area aflame.

Using the fire as reference, low to the ground the two SRG-2's turn on their spotlights, putting faith in the nearby forces not to engage them.
The lights illuminate the landscape, and even the slightest movement in nearby bushes incites a wall of lead as the gunships use their three dual chaingun gun turrets to flatten the areas they shoot at.

The main ground force, turns back on their lights, and moves in a single column slowly towards their destination.
Each vehicle with their turret pointed in a different direction.
One left, one forwards, one right, and one to the rear.
The infantry move forwards within an arms reach of the vehicles so they cannot be dragged into the darkness.

Another radio call is received by the forces:

"This is the away team of the TXI horizon again, we have taken one casualty engaging an unknown creature, it is injured and heading for your position.
Creature was around 20 foot high, seems to have acidic blood, although we ain't going to touch it and check for sure.
Our two Gunships have returned to provide CAS, should they spot anything nearing your position we will notify you ASAP."

Jenwuf

the_guy545
"Hey! You!"
He begins to back away to return to the others.
"come out now!"

Meanwhile, the main force attempt to fix their GPS systems, although the commander hands out physical satellite maps from images taken by the Orion so as to keep them pointed the right way.

IronCross42
The commander immediately orders for all lights to go off, and the vehicles moving across the landscape become practically invisible to conventional vision, and various bushes and trees lower night vision's usefulness...

On a local radio network, the following message is heard:
"This is an away team of the TXI horizon, unknown forces, whoever you are, we are here on a research mission and are not here to attack your positions, however any aggression from you and we will commence hostilities."

Anomaly Team
The two rotorcraft should be nearing this anomaly's location by now, buzzing past trees as they go...

the_guy545

Jenwuf No reply.

“I said come out now!”

He charges up his rifle.

“Ok, I’ve had enough of this mucking around, I’m-“

Suddenly, a large black mass jumps out of the bushes, snarling and clawing at the soldier. His screams pierce the night, and the creature grabs him, pinning him to the ground.
It opens up its gaping mouth, revealing an inner jaw, acidic saliva dropping on his face, burning off pieces of his flesh.

”DO IT! DO IT YOU FUCKING BIG Ol’- “
And so it does.

Boiled_Cabbage They soon come across a large section of the canyon covered with a Hive-like substance, the same substance detected by @Jenwuf (check this post: the_guy545). The landscape is very dark and foggy, but something very intriguing catches their eyes: large objects that look like eggs. Big eggs. Suddenly, large footsteps are heard. The Marines drop to the ground and hide. A 20-foot tall creature walks by them. It stops momentarily, picking something up. It decides to continue along anyways. What should they do?

With the loud shout from the soldier before he died, the vehicle lights turn back on, as the creature is illuminated by the IFV's turret spotlight.
Its roof mount MG turret opens fire on the creature, whilst the autoloader loads a Napalm round to fire into the bushes in case anything else is In there.

The other infantry quickly run towards the four vehicles and huddle around them for safety.

The anomaly team immediately turn and head at full burn towards the main force to provide CAS.
Quickly engaging heat vision once closer to attempt to spot targets for the ground forces.

The marines open up with flashbangs before flying away with their standard-issue rocket boots. A marine also lobs grenades at the eggs.

the_guy545

Jenwuf The creature runs away into the bushes towards the facility, leaving a trail of acid blood behind. The soldiers attempt to look for it via heat signatures, but they are suddenly surprised and horrified, as they soon discover that it gives off no heat signature what so ever. It is also horrifying in which they will never know when it will strike. Their best bet is the trail of highly acidic blood, already burning its way deep through the soil.

Boiled_Cabbage The queen staggers backwards, covering its eyes with its hands, but quickly recovers. In rage, it gives off a loud roar, and suddenly, seemingly coming out of the ground come perhaps a hundred of the black creatures, all snarling and ready to protect their queen. The queen roars again, and this time the creatures follow the Marines, ready to kill them for their treachery. They follow the Marines up the cannon. The marines run down a lower path, and the creatures run opposite to them on a higher path. Some creatures jump down stubbornly, landing with a loud thud, but seem unshaded by the fall.

Meanwhile..

Jenwuf The team hears the loud roar from the queen. Many of the soldiers get shivers down their spine, but protocol forces them to not break down and run to their mommies. The battalion commander decides they should hurry, and the Orion states that they are approximately 1 mile away from Acudreus Research Station. No signs of the creature so far.

Jenwuf in the base all lights are turned on and all guns loaded the bases main speaker turns on and broadcast in a loud clear voice "Men defend this base for Brandenburg"

on the Oblideron...
Jenwuf we acknowledge looking for the described beast you should move at all speed toward the base its well suited and we are well stocked to defend against whatever these things are
Meanwhile in orbit> //This is admiral hacket of Brandenburg if you heard the signal from the planet you know whats down there and how dangerous it is i would sugest all fleets be prepared to engage in EXTERMANATIS //

(So... are ya gonna tell me what he saw or what? As I said the personality of any destroyed drone plus it's memories will be immediately sent to JETE to save it also these are the same race of robots that were in the caves on Krekov Prime, so if they are critically damaged they will explode liberally showering the area in plasma from their failing generator)

A marine quietly whispers into a radio.

Requesting fire support from Antananarivo Class. Send wing of fighters. We are stuck in a Canyon where we are surrounded by what seem to be creatures that can tear us to shreds. Also, get our landed Warblers off the ground will you?
