Infected

When I woke up I still heard the wind hauling around Dhaab 2. I looked at Armand. He looked like he had a rough night. Anxiously I also looked at Shamus. Still sleeping like a baby. I wondered how the nannites effected him. When Shamus woke up didn't act like a fearless fighting machine, but more like a small child, babbling incoherent about coffee.
 
Because Armand was the only one I could trust we discussed about what to do next. We decided to to talk to Timon again, maybe he had some more answers. First Armand had to fixe Timon's software. Because Shamus was in no state to help, he had to do it alone. luckily he managed to repair Timon's software so he could give us some answers. Shamus was infected but not seriously. We had to wait and see what effect the nannites had on him. Right now he was more like a baby than a fighting machine. Timon said that one of the effects could be that he saw no danger anymore.
Timon also said that he Shanzidar sequence was again and would result in the death of everything living on the station within 24 hours. Because we slept through the first 12, we only had 12 hours left to get to safety. No time to waist. blizzard of no blizzard, we had to get tot Dhaab-1 and our shuttle to get u as far away as possible from this dead threat. We wanted to take Timon with us, but he convinced us to leave him behind on Dhaab 2. Before we left, he told us where we could find 3 nannite grenades. The nannite grenades, when fires, produced a cloud of some kind of dust that made the nannites inside the host go crazy, eventually killing themself but also the host. So we had to be carefull not to expose Shamus to this.

This time we took the tunnels to go back to Dhaab-1 this time. The weather outside was simply to bad to go by crawler. Besides Shamus was in no condition to drive. It would take us about an hour and a half before we would reach Dhaab-1. Moses said there was an alternative route through a service tunnel, but because we didn't completely trusted Moses we decided to stay in the main tunnel.
 
When we reached the main entrance of Dhaab-1 we encountered 3 members of the Red Hyenas. The were walking towards us. We told Moses to talk to them to make sure the would not harm us. They were eager to get to Dhaab-2 saying it was annoy safe for them to go back. I told them that moving on to Dhaab-2 like signing a death sentence and that they should come with us. After some hasitation they decided to go back with us to Dhaab-1. When we reached the big entrance doors, we found out that he entry code had been changed by Jussuf. Even Armand was not ably to retrieve the new codes. He did find that we could go inside using te emergency entry hatch in the ceiling. The hatch could be opened manually.
 
I went through the hatch first. The biggest problem was to get Shamus trough the opening. Me pulling on one side and Armand and Moses pushing on the other, we succeeded to get him trough.
 
When we entered the controle room and there we saw captain Wada. She was talking franticly into the communicator. Trying to reach the Mantella, but no answer. She looked surprised when she saw us enter. Suddenly we heard the Jussuf's voice through the communicator, shouting "Traitor!" Then we heard a gunshot and then everything went silent for a minute. Then we heard gunshot and then rapid machinegun fire. Moses managed to activate the camera's and we could see that the Zeluba brigade were fighting heavily. Suddenly a Zaluba soldier stepped into the room. But before he could shoot one us, we shouted at him to stop. We outnumber him so he lowered his machine gun. He told us that the Zaluba brigade was trying to take over the station. At the same time a consul came to live and Captais Wada asked me to take a look at the message that was send.
 
Oh my god, the Shanzidar sequence was somehow accelerated and we had now not more that 30 minutes to get away from the station, or we all would be dead....
