As the other teams head out, a quiet falls over the armory room, broken only by the gentle hum of the ventilation system and the low rumble of that other machine, whatever and wherever it might be.
Even the noises coming from the bar seem hushed as the waiting part of Team Omega's mission begins.
There's still all that shiny, though. Including some cylinders that look like they might be replacement charges for the Bunny's flamethrower. Ah, those Men in Black. They always come prepared.
(ooc: good time to say how the team will position themselves to defend the door)

"Of course. Fraggin' User-space."
He keeps a steady aim as he waits for the tentacles to come through the door.

"Wait for it..."

Re: Something BIG
But three of the tentacles do find Bob, one trapping his arm, and two wrapping around his chest. Droplets of Black Oil spray over him.
And then the tentacles begin pulling him toward the Doorway....
From:
Re: Something BIG
It's not until they start dragging him away that he panics.
"MATRIX!!" He flails, frantically trying to escape the tentacles' grip. "HEEEELP!!"
From:
Re: Something BIG
Matrix turns at the yelling, though.
"Frag."
He fires at Bob's 'captors'.
From:
Re: Something BIG
Which has the added side benefit of making the tentacles lose their grip on him.
...in retrospect, he really shoulda done that in the first place.
From:
Re: Something BIG
"Smooth, Bob," he says as he continues firing at the retreating tentacles.

But Bob's beam catches the third tentacle full-on, and it withers and smokes, as a shrill, horrible shriek comes from the hallway.
Another tentacle, meanwhile, fakes a strike at Matrix and instead starts wrapping itself around Gun.
From:
Re: Something BIG
Luckily, Matrix has a trick up his sleeve even for this unlikely scenario.
"Gun, command line: Security activate," he says, and Gun lets out an electric shock big enough to bring down a rhino. The charge doesn't go through the insulated handle, though, leaving Matrix unharmed.
He added that little feature recently specially for this mission.

Re: Something BIG
Two other tentacles close in on Matrix, but this time they try curling around to attack him from behind, keeping clear of Gun.
From:
Re: Something BIG
From:
Re: Something BIG
Only he can't do that and keep firing at the same time. He's rapidly running out of spare energy, and the tentacles just keep coming...
"Where the frag is that rabbit?!"
From:
Re: Something BIG
"Hold your horses boys, just gettin myself inta position."
The Bunny smiles gently to himself. These are the days he lives for. He rears back on his hind legs, gets the flame thrower ready, and then depresses the trigger, turning in place in the midst of all these flailing tentacles.
"Burn baby, Burn!"
From:
Re: Something BIG
The creature shrieks as the flames catch hold, the tentacles still flailing but now in rage and confusion, not in attack.
Two tentacles make one last strike at Matrix and Bob, but the bulk of them are starting to retreat.
Several more, though, are coming straight for the Bunny....
From:
Re: Something BIG
FOOM! As he plays the flame over the oncoming tentacles.
Click.
"Oh, bug-"
From:
Re: Something BIG
As the whatever-it-is retreats, he breathes a sigh of relief... then he hears the Bunny's flamethrower abruptly stop.
That can't be good.
From:
Re: Something BIG
Emboldened by the Bunny's accessory malfunction, the tentacles halt their retreat, and suddenly charge ahead again. Several more tentacles thrust back out at Bob and Matrix, curling around them to drag both sprites through the Door for good.
Meanwhile, the full weight of the tentacle creature surges up and starts dropping heavily down to squash the Bunny like a bug.
From:
Re: Something BIG
You know, the one he just kicked into the charging tentacles?
"Somebody shoot it!"
From:
Re: Something BIG
From:
Re: Something BIG
The Bunny narrows his eyes, and throws down his cigar, grumbling.
"God damn, I'm the only one on this side of the fiskin door? Oh you piece of..."
He doesn't even stop his grumbling as one of his knives flashes out, cutting off the tentacle reaching for him.
"This Sucks, major balls."
And with that, he dives into the mass of tentacles.
Which is shortly followed by an explosion.
From:
Re: Something BIG
The tentacles begin trembling, then flailing wildly in a seizure, as the central body of the thing shudders violently.
A flood of Oil begins gushing out from its center, a solid pool of it flowing right up to the threshold of Milliways.... and then coming to a halt barely an inch before it.
Quiet comes over the armory again, and now there is only the sound of that low rumbling.... except, it doesn't sound quite so low anymore....
From:
Re: Something BIG
He lifts himself up slightly and turns to look at Matrix. "You okay?"
From:
Re: Something BIG
He looks over to Bob, dusting himself off slightly.
"I'm fine."
