STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Virus

"Oh man..." Rhys looks for a source of the blood, or a trail.

It leads into the alleyway, Rhys.

-

Four successes on a Combat roll does nicely, Rylis. You throw the assailant off, his body hard and plastic to your touch. You swing your blaster at it and are very surprised to see an Imperial stormtrooper... but something is wrong with it. The armor has been torn up and... chewed on? It is also smattered with blood, with more oozing from its mouth.

He makes another lunge at you, roaring primally.

Rylis fires her blaster at the stormtrooper, aiming to put him down before he can attack her again.

Defying every shred of common sense, Rhys follows the trail down the alleyway.

Your powerful blaster takes the stormtrooper's head clear off, and it collapses backwards onto the countertop.

-

You step into the alleyway. The blood trail leads someway down, where the alleyway gets darker due to covering spanning between buildings.

"What the hell is going on here..." Rylis mutters to herself. She'll check the body for anything unusual (well, more than it already is), and if she doesn't find anything, or anything else in the shop, she'll continue her way on to the medical center.

The body is decayed, not freshly dead. It has been rotting for a few weeks.

...ewww.

What the hell? That's a bit creepy. And disgusting.

And unnatural. You just killed him!

"Hello? Is anyone there bleeding to death?"

Yay for having killed...an already dead thing...

Unless there's anything else to find here, Rylis is continuing on her way.

No response.

-

You don't see anything of notice in your area besides the previously dead stormtrooper that you re-killed. Do you want to check the other part of the shop?

Sure.

Can Rhys see anything down there?

There is somebody down there, Rhys. They are on their haunches, breathing heavily.

-

Rylis, there appears to be someone crouched down in the shelves and now leaping at you.

"Uh... hello?"

Rhys comes closer, to help them.

Rylis is going to start swearing in Mirialan while firing at this new attacker.

Something falls on you from above, Rhys!

Rylis scores four successes. The figure takes a bolt through the chest and falls, belching blood and squeals. He too looks decayed and unpleasantly bloody.

Rhys squeals like a little girl and jumps away from whatever fell, whipping out his gun.

It appears to be a person! Except they are snarling and squelching and making all manner of unpleasant noises. Also, they are trying to bite you.

So is the other one ahead of you.
