WHO: Loppypoppy and the APEs
WHERE: Ambassor suite, Suid Sidal

Despite having a good idea what to expect Lollypoppy and his three marines follow the standard procedures for entering a room occupied by unknown enemy forces. Two of them enter first in a cautious crisscross pattern. It was corporal Takeover and private Sweet.

The octopod is still waiting inside the door and it grabs Takeover and pulls at him. But the marine’s boots are magnetized and the APE armor weighs too much anyway. At the first tug on his arm the corporal uses his SEVER and cuts the tentacle off. On the other side of the door Sweet reacts and shoots two rounds of scattershot at the big quid. The thing goes down in a shredded mess but some of the pellets embed themselves into the corporal’s armor too.

Corporal Takeover: (seeing the brief red indicator on his HUD) “What the helg is your problem man?”

Private Sweet: “Did you see the size of that thing!?”

Corporal Takeover: “Look dude, just get off shot and use something less peripheral ok?”

Private Sweet: “Gotcha.” The private’s MAD rifle whirs and clicks as the rocket ammo is selected.

Lieutenant Lollypoppy: (from outside the room) “Shut up and move in.”
