"Retreat to a train car...we should be able to cover the entrances!" Mitose suggests urgently, and begins to help the injured scientist in that direction.

Laz gets a hold of the scientist as well and heads towards a car.

PM

Cover! Snow shouts, then movs to the Emp generator and tries to hook it up to the power unit of his rifle, this might give us a few seconds more

Jade and the others begin moving toward the train car.  At first, the mutant watches them with its bulging eyes.  Then it jumps.

Jade's EM rifle goes off at point blank range...it hits creature, which gets slammed backward as if hit by a freight train.  It slams against the far wall as you move toward the train.  But then it shakes its head as if to shrug off the blow, and it begins moving again toward the party.  The diamond-like scales on its body are glowing slightly, and its hands are shaking with ferocity.

The other one has placed itself between Lot, Laz, Sam, Mitose, and the train car.  It prepares to jump at Mitose.

Back at station 1, Snow begins connecting his rifle to the generator, but it is taking a bit of time...

The mutants...and you see five, maybe...are starting to close in.

Ted takes close aim and shoots the sniper rifle, hitting the growling one in...the head, as planned.  It falls writhing on the floor, not dead, but out of commission for the time.

Four others seem to be slowly coming in from the darkness, two from the water area, and two climbing up over the train tracks and onto the platform.

With no time to think Laz aims his gun at the creature's head and fires.

Jade runs toward the train car after the others, shooting the mutant with her EM Rifle if he gets in her way.

"Nice shot Jade!  Now we know what to expect from those EM rifles."

Lot follows after Jade and makes for the train car.  With every passing second the giant slug grew closer, Lot did not want to meet it up close.  Mitose and Laz seem to have the will to fight so Lot lets them cover their retreat.

The second mutant is still blocking the way to the train car.  [Assuming that Laz is going to fire at that one...but not sure with what weapon.]

OOC: Oh, thought that one was too busy pouncing on Mitose to bother with us.

OOC:  Yes, but since he is blocking the way, it is unclear how he will react to everyone running past him as he prepares to pounce on Mitose.

Just to be on the safe side and to unbalance the playing field a little to their advantage Lot fires a slug of his own at the beast as he rushes towards it and the train beyond.

OOC: -2 to hit when running, using fast draw to eliminate the snap shot penalty.

Snow will continue with the electornics work. If he thinks itll take too much time he just grabs his shotgun and starts blasting.

 "Nice shot, Ted. Keep it up." Fault says, stepping further back from the white line, and keeping his EM Rifle leveled at the nearest mutant, ready to fire if any of them advance.

Mitose leaves the scientist to Lazarus, and nods,"Get him on the train, I'll cover the retreat!" He pulls his knife, and prepares to be pounced on, trying to read the thing's intent so he can get in a surprise attack of his own.

Fault, Im not sure EMP works on these things, try a pistol or somethng

Laz snaps out of it and moves his hand away from his gun as he hears Mitose talking to him. He starts to lead the scientist towards the train car.

"You have a gun I could borrow? I gave mine to Lot."

At station 1, the nearest mutant appears to be facing Ted and preparing to lunge.  Ted fires the sniper rifle...but misses.

Snow is still hooking up the devices...

Fault is looking to Snow for a gun besides the EM Rifle.

Elle is guarding the unconscious researcher.

Viper lifts his EM Rifle, preparing to fire at the mutant facing Ted.

Ted is preparing to fire.

At station 2, Mitose is drawing the attention of the mutant away from the others...it appears to be working, as the creature takes a tentative step toward him.  Mitose's knife is drawn, ready for the pounce.

Sam, Jade, Laz, and Lot are moving toward the train...just 5 meters to go...

And down the tracks to their left [east] they hear the slimy glup, glup as the large whale/slug-like creature approaches.  Although still cloathed in darkness beyond the waiting train, it must be closer than a 100 meters away, and it must be large...unbelievably large.

Jade will jump into the train and try to quickly locate the controls to run it back to station 1.

Use the pistol here... Snow shouts without looking at Fault

Lot watches the mutant carefully with his pistol held ready to fire as he, Laz and Jade pass it by.  Once confident that it would allow them to pass he lowers his weapon and continues to move towards the train.  He enters the train right behind Jade and begins to search and secure the rest of the interior.

"Sam? you in here?

Mitose keeps a wary eye on the creature, waiting to use its power against it.  Should it pounce, he should be able to handle it...at least, it wasn't an Agent.

Laz continues making his way to the train, making sure the scientist is keeping up with him.

"Thanks," Fault says, letting go of his EM Rifle and snatching the handgun from Snow. He turns back around and levels the barrel at one of the mutants.
