In the meteorite crater-
Michael and Jenny carefully approached the meteorite, or whatever it was, and now she could see something moving around inside, though she couldn't tell yet what it was. Just as they reached it, there was a crackling sound from the meteorite. A fissure ran down the length of the meteorite as it began to crack like an egg...there was a hiss of air and suddenly a cloud of yellowish smoke began to grow quickly around the fallen meteorite.

OOC,[b]Jenny[/b], please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 1/1D6, so you lose 1 Sanity if you succeed or 1D6 if you fail. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, please roll Idea. If you succeed at the Idea roll, you will go temporarily insane. Otherwise, you may act freely. [b]Michael[/b], you do not need to roll Sanity, as you've already seen them. You may act freely. Also, please roll Luck.

Luck,50 [dice]0[/dice]

"Oh hell, time's up. Get out of here!"
Michael drops the tyre where it is, ignites his lighter and throws it at the tyre before back tracking quickly.

Jenny retreats back to the vehicle "You don't have to tell me twice, try and hold your breath" , she clutches her face as she finishes speaking to try and avoid inhaling any of the yellow smoke.

In the meteorite crater-
Jenny had a head start, as Michael had taken the time to light the gas-filled tire. The yellow gas had smelled like rotten eggs, but it didn't harm them. The creatures within, however, were far more dangerous. The tire went up with a whoosh and ignited the gas, which burned with an eerie blue color, but thirteen of the little aliens flew out of the cloud first and escaped the flames. The other creatures all burned to a crisp, letting out high-pitched shrieks. They were slippery creatures covered with some slimy ooze. They flapped about Michael on leathery wings. He was aware of his body getting attacked by the creatures. They were all over him, climbing on his back, his legs. They gripped his body with sharp claws, grabbing at his clothing. Most of them fell off and left him unharmed, one of them knocked into the flames where it was incinerated, but two of the flying creatures managed to hang on despite his efforts to get rid of them.

Michael writhes, trying to dislodge the creatures whilst running to the car.
"Get off you damn bugs!" He shakes his jacket off to remove them rather than trying to grab them as they are so slippery.
""Start the engine!" He shouts to Jenny.

9:36:12 AM
In the meteorite crater-
Jenny was almost halfway to the car when the swarm attacked Michael. He tripped and fell trying to shoo them away and avoid them, which kept him from being stung in the neck, but another of them injected his thigh with its long stinger. He felt a searing pain as the stinger slid into his body, a cold needle against his skin. Then he felt something else...something wet enter his body...Michael's legs froze up. He could feel a coldness through his bones, in his organs. He could feel his skin hardening. He lay on the ground, his legs quite useless...

OOC,Alien poison roll (85% chance): [dice]0[/dice]

Jenny jumps in the car as fast as she can "I will try and get closer with the car" , she shouts at as she starts the engine, planning to swing the car around and get as close to Michael so he get in.

"Aghhh, my legs...I can't move...them. Get to .... air base...all costs. Tell them... Captain Michael Walters, Air Section 2....tell them I.... what happened. Aghhhh, it's so cold....something.... inside me!"

Michael tries to get his gun and shoot the thing even though it is right on him,

9:38 AM
In the meteorite crater-
Michael shot the creature and blew it to smithereens, but the damage was done. Unfortunately, it was the last thing he ever did. He was beginning to gasp his last breath even as he felt more of the things continue to sting him, but where one had injected him with venom, now they seemed to be withdrawing his blood. His last thoughts of the creatures were of them drinking their fill...

OOC,That roll was actually an impale, since it was point blank and your effective skill was 130%. I'm sorry, [b]Michael[/b], but that was the end for you. Damage to creature: [dice]0[/dice]

On the road-
Jenny raced back to the car and scrambled into the driver's seat. She could see that Michael was no longer moving, and the eleven remaining alien insects began to stream toward her...

OOC,[b]Jenny[/b], if you still wish to drive into the crater, you will need to roll Drive Auto, as this car is not designed for off-road travel and the crater is not exactly smooth. You would also be heading directly into the swarm. If you wish to drive away on the road, either the way you've been heading or back the way you came, no Drive Auto roll is necessary. If you do drive away, please let me know if you look back.

Jenny slams her hands on the wheel in frustration and shouts out "I'm so sorry I can't do anything, sorry... Ill try to warn people whats coming" , realising that going towards Michael would be her end as well she feels she has to abandon him and floors the accelerator and heads backtowards the diner to warn people.

9:39 AM
On the road-
Jenny turned the car around as the eleven remaining alien insects flew after it. They tried to get inside, but thankfully the windows were rolled up, which prevented that. They were about to try smashing the windows when she slammed down the gas pedal and sped away, not daring to look back, though she was able to easily outpace the creatures. She soon approached the intersection with the turnoff to the PMS compound, which went back and to the right, uphill. The road that led back to the truck stop continued straight ahead.

OOC,[b]Jenny[/b], please roll Spot Hidden.

9:40 AM
On the road-
Jenny kept driving south, wanting to put as much distance between herself and those things as possible. The road ahead was clear. She was now about a third of the way back to the truck stop.

OOC,[b]Jenny[/b]'s Spot Hidden roll (35% skill): [dice]0[/dice]

Jenny looks back at the road behind her in the rear-view mirror bringing the hint of a tear to her eye before she fixes her stare on the road ahead.

9:41 AM
On the road-
There was no sign of pursuit in the rear view mirror. Jenny drove on for another mile, and she guessed she was now halfway back.

9:42 AM
On the road-
Jenny kept driving, and now she was around two thirds of the way back to the truck stop, which was only a couple of miles away.

Jenny keeps her eyes on the road, "almost there..." she mutters under her breath.

9:43 AM
Jenny drove through the intersection with Route 30, and she knew she was only about a mile from the truck stop now.

OOC,[b]Jenny[/b], please roll Spot Hidden.

Jenny narrows her eyes slightly to focus on something.
