Snippet #2600145

Her chest was burning as she ran out of the main engineering room headed to the upper core room. The pain from her side was almost unbearable, she grit her teeth blood as blood pooling in her mouth. Stella’s eyes widened in horror at the destruction all around her. Bots lay in heaps on the ground. She also caught sight of what was most certainly blood. Whose was the question? All of which had to be pushed had to pushed to the back of her mind. If she didn't make it to the Upper Core room nothing else would matter. Running full out, spitting blood with each gut wrenching jolt to her body, she listen to Trip report on the condition of the Lower Core.

The upper core was at critical and without knowing their whereabouts dumping the core was out of the question. The room had to be vented and fast. Stella could see clearly into the dark room, the main turbines was blocked, also the computer consoles was crushed that’s why should couldn't access them from main engineering room. Stella hard wire all the controls sending them to the main control room. The easy part was over… taking a deep breath Stella went into the core room. Her thick flesh began to scream at the intense heat, blister began to from on her arms and face. Stella had to push and pull heaps of broken core pieces out of her way, hands in agony from the heat of objects she moved. Once she made it to the turbine she wedged a piece metal piling under the ceiling joist that as blocking the cooling vent’s fan. Used it as a fulcrum she used her back to help lift and move the joist out of the way. The fan slowly began to move. She had seconds to get out of there before the fan reached full speed. Relief washed over her as she rushed to the door, the core was stable for the moment. So caught up in thought, she hit her already injured side. Stella cursed in agony, “Cura deum(Dark God)!” she made it to the door just in time to hear Trip’s question, "Stella, hows things going on your side?" She never heard the “Help" fall from her lips as, she fell face first to the floor.
