Commander cygnus: *over hte announcements*
Announcement: everyone stay calm. the aurora is down. Stay in your cabins, so the crawlers cant get to you.
Iris: ah, screw it.
<writers note>
Ah screw it, imma just take an exerpt from the rp that this is based off of
<end of note>
Cygnus: Beta team and Omega team, Aurora has worn out, and Gamma team is out keeping the bugs away while they repair it. Everyone, please follow Shield breakdown procedures and stay in your dorms. Until another announcement is made, please stay in.
Vespidian: A Shield break? That hasn’t happened in a long time!
Iris: ok...soo...uhh….uhm….
Lucius: SHUT. UP.
Vespidian: Maybe if YOU shut up, the crawlers wont get to you. I’m surprised that Lucius doesn't have one in his pants.
Iris: *giggles*
Lucius: *screams and runs into the bathroom and walks out in angy* OH COME ON-
Mirror: *covering his ears and shaking back and forth wide eyed* helpmehelpmehelpmehelpme
<you all hear something land on the wall next to you from the outside, and everyone stops>
Iris: …*grabs them and they run to them omega sector, babyyy* JESUS CHRIST PLEASE CAN WE STAY HERE
Blackout: What are you all doing here? I thought we were on lockdown!
Iris: BISH THEM BUGS GOT IN OUR SECTOR
Vespidian: Because SOMEONE pissed them off *looks at Lucius, who was clearly the loudest there*
Lucius: WELL ITS NOT MY FAULT!!!
Blackout: Okay then. You all can stay for now.
Iris: *something splats on the door behind them* uhh...whats that?
<The lights go out>
Lucid: *from teh background* Dang it, they got the generator! Ugh, no time to waste. *walks away*
Iris: *sighs* hang on *very annoyed and exasperated sigh, goes through the portal, and boop lights are on and iris comes out with burn marks all over her arms* dang those things bite hard.
Delta :*grabs bug and yeets it, and then proceeds to yeetus robotic arm at iris* ON. *narrows eyes* NOW.
Crawlers: *scree and they hiss at them and then yeet at iris*
Mirror: *steps in front, and he's not f***ing around* get. The f***. Away from them. *water aspected daggers come out of pouch*
Lucius: *very surprised* WHAAAA THU FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?
Crawlers: *pootoo at Mirror and Lucius, so they are kind of stuck together*
Mirror: god- UHGH. *makes the sticky stuff dissolve bc water* iris-
Iris: SENRI*looks at her* spin me.
Senri: *grabs her with strings, iris pulls out her gauntlets, one water and the other one earth, and yeets iris*
Crawlers: *hiss at them, but then one of them is speared by something*
Cygnus: You little buggers. *Spears another and electrocutes the others*

This song is playing
Iris: *yeets at one of them and they die*
Crawler: *pootoo XD at iris and it hits her eye*
<the music stops>
Iris: AGH- *falls over, grasping her eye* Y-YOU LITTLE *hng* S***
Cygnus: Oh no, someone get that stuff out. It’s mildly acidic. You! You have water, don’t you? Try washing most of it out.
Mirror: I-I RAN OUT OF WATER CRYSTALS-
Crawlers: *screeches and starts rushing at Iris, full speed*
Iris: *smiles and a diff song starts up*
<this>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElSOrxh3NtU
Iris: *suddenly, blood parasite type things come out of her eye, and form a glaive* you really are idiots, arent you. *one swipe and their all dead.
Crawlers: *hiss, almost as if they are saying something before dying**You see one get blasted from the hallway to the wall*
Lucid: Everyone, please evacuate to the upper floors, the bottom floors have been overrun!
Iris: *they go to the upper levels*
<In the med>
Baby: *crying*
Mother: whats happening?
Cygnus: Everyone, don’t panic. This will only last up to a day at most.
Iris: *sighs* the flare bugs took over the lower levels.
Lucid: Yeah. The Omega team is barricading the entrances to the upper floors, and Gamma is trying their best to repair the shield. But something keeps on messing with it! I can’t go out and help them, because they are fighting the bugs off. You should look outside! There’s a swarm!
Melters: *land on the metal outside*
Iris: *sighs* Mirror.
Mirror: y-yeah? *tending to the mother and child*
Iris: Do you think you could surround the ship in ice. It wouldn't be able to move, but then the bugs would die on impact. They can't touch water.
Crawlers: *screech as they sink their jaws into the metal walls, tearing into it as they start to come in*
Mirror: *makes the ice cover the ship*
Lucid: *blasts one of the ones that got inside* Okay, now there shouldn’t be more coming in as we handle the ones inside.
Toxin: Reporting back from Gamma team, the repair might go longer than usual. Our panels aren’t working as well, and someone has messed with the shield activator. We are getting a few error reports from the back engines and generators, as it seems that they were drained of energy. We won’t have enough power to turn the Aurora on unless we charge back up for a day.
Iris: well, as long as the ice is covering the upper decks, we’re safe.
Toxin: We’ll be coming inside a little soon, the attacks here are getting a little more than comfortable.
Cygnus: You can sleep in the Delta, Alpha and Gamma sectors up here. We all have faced a severe blow. In the meantime, I’ll be talking it out with the Gamma team about plans and what might be causing all these problems.
Iris: *nods*
<in the middle of the night*
Mirror and Echo bc brother and sis
Mirror: bruh no
echo: LOOK AT THIS *gross image*
Mirror: NO NO NO NO NO-
Lucius: SHUT THE HECK UP
Vespidian: Will you all be quiet? Some of us are trying to get some sleep around here.
Iris: *is just listening to tomtom by holy f*** and reading harry pothead- i mean harry potter*
Cygnus: *is in her room, sighing and stressing out a little*
Iris: *turns up music to the point where everyone can hear it. Also iris can do the whole dovewing thingy*
Cygnus: *sighs* ugh, I don’t know anything! I’ve tried figuring things out, but this is the worst we have had in years….I don’t get how all the power just..disappeared. Plus, the admin panel was locked, and very strange. This couldn’t have been an error.
Iris: *rolls eyes and blocks everything out, and spies on Senri instead, who has now leave the quarters, and is in upper decks, in the cafeteria with lucius*
Lucius: im gonna make you regret ever talking to her.
Senri: who?
Lucius: IRIS! ...SHE WAS MINE. I WAS HERS. AND THEN YOU CAME ALONG ADN TOOK EVERYTHING. Now. YOU ARE TAKING THAT ICE DOWN OR I AM GONNA-
Iris: gonna do what?
Vespidian: *crosses arms* Lookie here, the extra salty chicken jerky at it again.
Iris: I knew i had a bad feeling about you lucius. And i was correct.
Lucius: If you won’t comply, Senri…..I’ll do it myself. And I'll make sure they get everyone you cared about.
Vespidian: Not if we stop you first!
Iris: *holds him down* CYGNUSSS! CYGNUUUUUUUS! CYGNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!
Cygnus: *stands up and walks out* What is it?
Iris: HE DID IT AGAIN! HE DID IT AGAIN!
Lucius: You know, Cygnus...you could tell. These all weren’t errors, or by chance. You can tell someone did it themself. Can you guess who?
Cygnus: *looks at him, furious* So it was you. You killed COUNTLESS people that were in this station, most who did nothing. Just for that.
Iris: *pushes down harder*
Lucius: *ok so rn its gonna get a little...uhm...pg??? I guess* a-ah?
Iris: *the hands break and blood splatters everywhere* i will heal you. Then do it again.
Lucius: *smiles* it won’t matter. Soon, this entire ship will be overrun with them. How, you ask? Lucid mentioned that the Omega team were blocking the entrances. What if i said that..those barricades were absolutely useless?
Iris: no… *runs at teh door, but its too late* SENRI! ICE THIS WHOLE CORRIDOR OFF!
<inside the med, everyone screams and runs, trying to fight back. Hundreds of crawlers and other stuff had already flooded inside. There are holes in the walls too, indicating that Senri was unconscious and that the ice was down.*
Iris: SENRI! *screams as Senri is dragged below into the crawlers*
Senri: *is being constricted by Crawlers*
Iris: *is dragged below, and all she sees is black…*
It’s amazing how much pain a human body can feel before it eventually dies...I’m in awe.
Vespidian: IRIS, WHERE ARE YOU?!
Iris: *her gauntlet sits upon a mount of crawlers..*
Crawlers: *eagerly tear through as she is held tightly by them*
Iris: *sees flashes of the crawlers tearing through everyone’s flesh…*
All I saw were hundreds of legs, myself being torn up….and someone. I don’t know who, but they were there for a second. They had a book… thats all i saw
Senri's hand: *is limp, on a mound of crawlers, eagerly ripping away metal*
???:..*holds the book, before writing in it, then everything blurs as Iris finds herself back where Senri and Lucius were yelling at each other in the cafeteria. And she knew EXACTLY what to do this time.*
Iris: U-UHM, I NEED TO GO. *runs, but yet again, it's too late, and the same thing happens. OVER.. AND OVER AGAIN.*
It was like being trapped in a perpetual hell. Constantly dying. Going back. failing. Dying. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Cygnus: *is burned badly, her wings a little torn*
And that person. That GODS-be-damned person. OVER. AND OVER. AND OVER AGAIN. PERPETUALLY TORTURING ME
???: *sighs and looks at her and pulls out book*
Iris: why...why can’t you just let me die.
???: I’m giving you plenty of chances, Iris...yet you fail so many times.
Iris: I just want to rest… i’ve been alive so long...too long...i cant TAKE it anymore
???: I'm sorry to say Iris...It’s not your time. It’s not your time yet.
Iris: who even are you?
???: Someone..who likes to give a nudge in the right direction once in a while.
Iris: just let me...die….
???: *writes something in the book, and yet again, she’s reverted*
Iris: WHY. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY *bangs head on table until she starts bleeding* WHY CANT I JUST DIE ALREADY! JUST MAKE IT STOP!
Lucius: *looks at her*
Senri: *looks at her*
<Yet, no Crawler burst through anywhere. Strangely, this was different.>
Crawlers: *somehow, go through them vents though*
Iris: *looks at the crawlers* are you here to finally give me what i want? To make it STOP?!
Senri: what are you--
Iris: OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IM STUCK HERE. IN THIS EXACT MOMENT. THE CRAWLERS COME. THEY BRING ME CLOSER TO DEATH. AND THEN I HAVE TO COME BACK JERE.
Lucius: *just looks at her, and smiles a little* So you’ve seen them?
Iris: you… YOU… *bangs him up against the wall with her arm around his neck*
Lucius: I would like to call them a friend. Thanks to them, all things are possible this way.
Iris: JUST LET ME DIE. JUST LET ME PLEASE DIE. I HAVE TO WATCH SENRI DIE. I HAVE TO WATCH CYGNUS DIE. I HAVE TO WATCH EVERYONE DIE. WHY CANT IT BE ME?! WHY CANT I BE THE ONE WHO DIES?!?!!?! *bangs head up against teh wall and she starts bleeding and crying*
???: Because. This is all for the best.
Iris: all i wish to do is see mother. See father… but NO. I CANT HAVE THAT. *slams them against the wall* DO YOU KNOW WHAT LEVEL OF TORTURE THIS IS?!
???: *looks at her, not moved or even feeling anything*
Iris: if you won't do it, i’ll do it myself. *Walks out of them cafeterias*
???: You know what...this isn’t amusing them anymore. I guess I’ll have to do it if I have to. *takes out a sword, almost pitch black and stained with a reddish-fuchsia blood at the tip and goes after iris*
Iris: *doesn't even fight back*
???: *stabs her in the heart, and then drops her down, still unfeeling of whatever she just did.*
Iris: thank...you…. *but then everything reverts*
Iris: ...
Senri: i-iris? What was that?
Iris: ...
Senri: i-iris?
<ok now lucius is scared. He doesn’t let the crawlers out because he is terrified>
Lucius: *still up against the wall, with a horrified look upon his face*
Iris: … do you know how much it hurts
Iris: how much it tortures you?
Lucius: w-what? W-what d-did they d-do?
Iris: to have to watch everything you know wither, and fade, and die? *smiles, kind of a dead inside smile though*
Lucius: *starts to sweat* U-uh, h-hello? I-i don’t l-like this anym-more...
Iris: *stands up and looks at him dead in the eyes* all. Because. Of you?
Lucius: P-please...I-I don’t l-like this… w-what did i do?…
Iris: you didn't do anything. Other than help get the bugs on the ship.
Cygnus: *walks out* What’s going on here?
Person: unknown entity on board. Any “hive minders” are going a little crazy. Hopping in and out of themselves left and right.
Mother: *screaming* AGHHH!!! *switches* AMY! WE TALKED ABUOT THIS *switches* I KNOW, YURI, BUT, LIKE, *switches* WHAT THE F*** DUDE *switches back, and suddenly its over*
???: *just stands somewhere, watching. They write down some notes in their book, then close it and watches*
Lucius: what??? I d-didn’t-
Iris: *sighs* YES YOU DID. *touches his forehead and he just stands there in shock* see?
Lucius: i-i did that?
???: *watches, before takings some stuff out of their satchel and drinking them and putting it back*
Lucius: i-i….u.hm...
