The door swung open, the Kig-yar's body colapsing backward, and crashing to the ground. The Elites creeped by the sides of the door, pointing their rifles in, awaiting anything that would slightly resemble a "monster". Seiga quietly headed in, eyeing his radar with caution... but nothing. "Quick, retrieve the ship's Mission Log," he ordered, still watching his radar. A few humms were heard, and the SpecOps Sangheili grunted, "I've got them." Seiga looked up at the Elite and sighed deeply, "Play them..."

Seiga stood, stunned, never had he heard of such a monstrosity, nor had he wanted to. He lifted his head towards his team, "Listen to me... we are now automatically participating in a highly dangerous operation. We shall stay close, and will not seperate for any reason in any respects. Our main priority, return to the our ship, and terminate this one ASAP!" The elites grunted their agreement.
They started for the exit, but were interupted by a beep. Seiga looked at his radar, a red dot blinking, heading straight for them. "I've recieved contact!" he barked, the Elites dragging their weapons to their chests, double-checking their ammo and adjusting their scopes. More dots appeared on the radar, 2... 4... 8... 20, they were multiplying dramatically. "Straight ahead! The hallway!" The SpecOps shifted their views towards the Bridge's open door... but nothing in plain sight, just a long hallway. The Special Operations team swept out of the bridge, activating their camoflage, making them invisible from whatever ******** awaited their presence.
Erdu had heard something rustling by the right corner of the hall, and slowely crept towards the plasma vent. He had his carbine to his chest, armed and ready for fire, his radar flashed rampantly, and he knew that something remained hidden their. Peering his head above the vent, he saw a long drop, towards black nothingness... it looked eerie, and quite intimidating. Erdu sighed, and lifted his head, there seemed to be nothing there, and then the flashing ceased... it simply stopped, as if whatever was there just disappeared from existance. Seiga stared at his radar in awe... this was impossible, how would a horde of "monsters" simply dissappear? Erdu put his carbine down, and brought himself to speak, "This doesn't make any sense... what just happen-" he stopped. "What is it?" asked Seiga.
"Do you hear it?"
"Hear what?"
"Do you not here the hissing?"
Seiga stopped, and cocked his head up a little, paying close attention. "I don't hear anything..." he said. Erdu's voice became adgitated, "I kid you not, I hear hissing!" One of the others laughed, "Whynot check the vent agian? Maybe you'll meet a new ally." Erdu sighed in disappointment, "Fine, I'll check..." he turned his head, and leaned over, peering his head into the dark vent. Seiga rolled his eyes, and looked at his radar, the other doing the same, in the background Erdu could be heard complaining, "I am serious, I heard hissing!"
"Listen, Erdu, your mind must be playing fool with you..." said one of the Elites whom was now lifting his head up to look at Edru. "By the gods!" he screamed, "Erdu behind you!" Erdu stood straight up, but only to feel unbearable pain, a long, spear-like tail, impaling the SpecOps from back to chest. Seiga lifted his head, and seeing this, he screamed, "Open fire!"
