Sunny passes by the scientist pushing a rack of labcoats, snatching a coat out of it in a single smooth motion.

Sunny
* Gimme one of these.

  Avean Scientist
Whuh? Huh?







She marches down the hall, pulling her arm through a sleeve of the labcoat. Aveans stare at her as she pushes past.

Sunny
* SCIENCE TEAM, COMING THROUGH!!


Sunny barges into an open room with a number of avean soldiers standing at the ready.

Sunny
* Outta my way, motherfuckers! I've got SCIENCE to do!

  Avean Captain
What the--
Lady, you need to get out of here!

Sunny
* Bullshit! Can't you see my labcoat?

  Avean Captain
Doctor, this is serious!
You need to evacuate, before--

An explosion goes off. Sunny is knocked off balance and falls down as chaos erupts around her.

  Avean Captain
He's here!


  Avean Heavy
GET HIM!!


  Avean Pilot
Go, go, go!!




She sees plasma bolts flying, exchanged with bursts of bullets and spurts of blue blood.



  Avean Grunt
For the empire!!

  Avean Captain
We can do this!


  Avean Captain
Keep firing! KEEP FIRING!




  Avean Pilot
MAYDAY!!!! GHH-!!
  Avean Heavy
DIE!!! JUSt-- DIE ALREADY!!!





  Avean Grunt
We need backup! I repeat, WE NEED--!!














She tries to right herself again, but she's still dazed...












And then she's shocked into cosnciousness by the sight of dead bodies all around her.

Sunny
* gGHGHH GAAaaaAAAAAAAAAAHGGGHHH--!!





She looks up. In front of her, surrounded by blood and bodies, carrying a gun that's about Sunny's size, is a terrifying mountain of metal and light in the shape of a man. Sunny is convinced, in this moment, that if death walked on two feet it would look something like this.

Sunny
* No no NO NO NO!!!
* Don't shoot!!!
* DON'T SHOOT!!!!!








The nightmare's face is blank except for a sickly green strip of light that spans the middle of its head. It stands still for a moment.

Okay.
