The sounds of gunshots and slaughter resonated through the corridors, trapping the innocent occupants in an acoustic nightmare. Each blast leached through the eardrums of Tahlia and bought back the memories of what war was really like; however the years of fighting, the endless battles, and the orders to shell anything on sight had taught her how to block out most of the influences and focus on completing the mission.

This mission... Kill the fucking bastards that invaded her new home.

She shuffled along the edge of the corridor, laying low in a crouch position and slid her left shoulder across the wall in order to limit the strenuous use of her leg muscles. In her right arm she held the shower pipe as she rested it across her shoulder, just light enough so that with a quick flick of the wrist she could swing it towards anything that appeared before her. It was all that she could do at this time until she found a piece of equipment that would give her more confidence, whether it'd be her pistol or a more specialised weapon from the armoury. The only issue was that the armoury was a location that would attract a lot of other parties; a death trap in the making.

The Australian stopped in her tracks as she approached the corner. She could hear the sounds of voices and commotion from down the hallway, the yell of commands from what sounded like opposing forces. Cautiously Tahlia peered around the edge only to quickly pull back when she heard the cracking sound of shots being fired. She counted herself lucky that she didn't decide to dive out into the open, but the realisation that the shots were being fired away from the hallway corner was quite reassuring. Whoever these people were targeting, it was pretty safe to say that it was not her.

The voice, the name, she knew these all too well.

With a second look she could see the powerful shadows of a death squad standing in the hallway, lit up by a light source that franticly dived behind some cover. In the crazed flashes from the data-tool she could see the corpse of a deceased soldier on the ground as the team pressed forward, opening up a storm and driving the defenders into a corner. Tahlia gently placed down her piece of steel and inched towards their exposed rear. She passed an alcove on her left, pausing only when she came close to the fresh corpse. As silently and quickly as possible she leaning forward and plucked the discarded [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/c5/af/05/c5af0534986ad531db40d91b8468bc74.jpg]rifle[/url] from the blood soaked ground.

She finally had it, she had obtained her confidence and with a sharp back-pedal and sidestep into the cavity the woman prepared for her counter attack. Tahlia pulled the gun up to her eye, sighting as best as she could in the dark. She pulled the trigger, giving a light spray that would guarantee a hit of some kind.

The end of the barrel exploded in power up as the recoil of each shot pounded back into her shoulder. She couldn't exactly see it clearly but the sound of shattering flesh and bone was heard as clear as day; a sharp thump of a second body collapsing on the floor.

[color=8f735b]"Fucking eat shit ya feral bastards!"[/color] she screamed out, both as a generous distraction for the others and a taunt for the invaders to take her on. She saw the glowing eyes of her targets swing back around and glare in her general direction, an indication that now was the perhaps the time to pull out of their line of sight. With a stern kick off the ground she pushed up against the wall, avoiding their night-vision assisted shots.

[color=8f735b][i]Fucken bullshit this is,[/i][/color] she cursed silently after seeing their augmented eyes. She never had the need to get such a cybernetic in her life and at this point in time she really wish that she had taken the time to get the surgery when she back in the land down under.
