[OPEN] The Swarm
WHO: Heero Yuy, OPEN
WHERE: S.S. Sigrun Cargo Hold
WHEN: Today (Saturday) afternoon
WHAT: Aid responses to Heero's SOS!
WARNINGS: Probably violence, possibly language?
FORMAT: Whatever you want
With barely a word to anyone, Heero had launched this morning to the Sigrun, in the hopes that either Duo'd gone off without warning to explore (that idiot), and/or that Deathscythe's instruments had been scrambled while on the ship and that he was merely lost. When he'd arrived to the Sigrun, seeing it himself for the first time, he could only think that it looked like the Libra when it had been evacuated pending its fall towards the Earth and subsequent destruction- a ghost town, bare circuitry and halls bared with debris strewn all about.
His first instinct had been to check the ship's own hangar- considering Duo was a salvager, he figured perhaps he'd gone to look for tinkering and repair parts. This area, in particular, was even more eerie and dead than the other halls of the lower ship he'd briefly scoped out. Slowly drifting through the hold, pieces of machinery floated by through the open space, and the darkness was lit only by the soft glow of Wing ZERO's boosters and cockpit light. It was when he'd wandered deep into the hold that the light had apparently disturbed a colony of some alien species, and with ZERO's instruments immediately flying off the handle, the trouble began.
When Heero had sent off the SOS to Thor, he had already been trying to fight off the swarm of creatures for a good 5 minutes; in the midst of a battle, a lot could happen in that amount of time. Quickly, he found that the creatures were easily able to damage the gundanium alloy suit- ZERO had informed him that on this course, he wouldn't survive- and recommended assistance and retreat, or defeat.
Still fighting off the creatures, he waited to see if anyone would arrive to his aid as he attempted to backpedal through the area, somewhat in vain, the aliens following him as he weaved through the wide, empty space of the hold.

[OOC; Alien image and information! 1. These things eat metal, circuits, and other electronics; 2. There are hundreds or even thousands of them. It is literally, as it says, a swarm; 3. They screech so loud that it can be heard in the vacuum of space.
Everything else, you guys can BS as you like! As I said in the plotpost, the outcome is up to you guys and anyone can join if they can survive the aliens and in the conditions outlined in the cargohold. Please note I might be slightly slow as I have two essays due this week and a con next weekend :x]
