《Starbound: A Space Odyssey》The Erchius Mining Facility Incident (3)
Advertisement
When the elevator stopped. Clark bolted out of it and dashed straight toward his office.
He didn't bother to explain to those he saw on the way, why the whole moon was trembling and what was that screaming sounds coming from deep into the mine.
He opened the door and reached for his computer. He took a cable from under the table and connected it into his PIPS, this would allow him to have a direct connection with the Letheia HQ.
"Hello, may I help you" Clark saw a holographic female Hylotl figure appearing in his PIPS.
"It's a emergency! I need to speak with Ferris Laparte!" Clark was sweating and anxiously said.
He glanced at the screens that were showing the images captured by the cameras in the elevators. Watching them he saw that there were a lot of mutants catching a ride in the elevators coming toward the surface of the moon.
[This is bad...] He knew that if those things arrive they would kill everyone.
"Just a moment sir, your call will be redirected..." The Hylotl bowed and disappeared form the screen.
While he waited, Clark searched in his computer keyboard for a specific key.
[Found you...] He pressed the yellow key.
"Emergency shut down of the elevators." Clark heard the emotionless voice of the warning system saying.
[This will probably stop them for a while] He thought.
"Hello, Ferris speaking." Clark heard a flirty woman voice coming from his PIPS.
Clark looked at the screen and saw the charming holographic figure of Ferris.
She was in her thirties, but she looked like she was still in her mid twenties. She had a long and sliky blonde hair, enchanting blue eyes, and a beautiful and charming smile. Her figure was about 1.80 meters tall, she had a slim waist and voluminous breasts. Ferris Laparte was the most beautiful middle-aged woman Clark has ever seen, but he didn't had time to appreciate her beauty right now.

"An incident had happened here, in Lunar Base 12..." Clark than proceeded to hastily explain what happened, "I want to know what I have to do now..." Clark was anxious. He glanced at the camera screens and his jaw almost dropped. He saw that those pink mutants started to use their slimy hands to climb the wall. Even though it might take longer for them to reach the surface, the mere fact that they were still coming scared the soul out of Clark's body.
"Oh?" Ferris just slightly exclaimed, not surprised at all, "Okay, wait a moment I will call my superior about the procedures that you have to fallow, wait a moment." She disappeared from the screen without even changing expression, in her face, she was still casually smiling.
"Wait!!" The call was turned off. Clark tried to call again, but he received the fallowing message, "This is the Letheia automatic call response. The Letheia Corporation is aware of your situation. Outgoing communications from 'Lunar Base 12' have now been shut down. We hope you have a nice day."
"What the fuck!!" Clark screamed with his eyes wide open, but the series of unfortunate events had yet to end. Soon enough he received a message in his PIPS,
"The Lunar Base 12 has been put into full lockdown in accordance with procedure Alpha1a: Awakening. All ships coming and going from the Lunar Base has been redirected from their routes. All ships that were in the docks have been launched into the space.
An erchius lifeform has been awakened in your facility. We ask that employees remain calm. Letters will be sent to your families, thanking them for your services.
We hope you have a nice day,
The Letheia Corporation."
This message had been sent to all the miners. The miners confusedly looked at the messages. They weren't aware of the danger that was heading toward them at this very moment.

Clark slumped in his chair and blankly stared at the ceiling, [It's over... They abandoned us here.]
Soon he started to hear screams and gunshots coming from the distance. He looked at the screens and saw that those mutants had already climbed all the way toward the surface and were in the middle of a fight with the miners and securities of the facility.
The mutants started to launch some pink and slimy liquid at the securities. The liquids started to corrode the Tungsten armors of the guards. They had no chance to fight back as they slowly became a puddle of melted flesh and blood.
...
Somewhere else in the Lunar Base 12
The middle-aged miner that was supposed to send Penguin Pete's shipment was relaxedly sitting on a room far away from the chaos.
The middle-aged man had a normal looking face and build. He had a short brown hair and a pair of brown eyes as well. His name was Mouro. He worked in the Lunar Base 12 for almost 5 years. But he wasn't just a miner, he had another very important job...
Mouro looked at his vibrating PIPS and saw that Letheia's HQ number was calling him, he picked it up, "Hello?"
"Agent 067?" Ferris' holographic image appeared on Tom's PIPS.
"Yes, it is me" Mouro casually answered.
"Good! I have a mission for you. Initiate procedure 347."
"Alright ma'am" Mouro saluted and turned off the call.
[Procedure 347... So... That giant crystal was really a Erchius Horror... This people here really have some bad luck.] Mouro mused himself.
He reached for his guns in his inventory. He took a generic Tungsten Pistol and Sniper Rifle.
Procedure 347: Sarcophagus. His mission is to make sure that no one was able to leave the facility alive. He must make sure to silence all the witness.
"Hm?" He looked outside. He saw a Eagle class generic ship landing on the Lunar Base.
Mouro reached for his sniper rifle and took aim.
He watched as the door opened and 9 people wearing full purple robes left the ship in a skillful and organized way.
Mouro gasped in surprise and decided to not fire his weapon. He dialed Ferris' number in his PiPS.
"What is it?" She annoyingly asked.
"I have a problem here..." He showed the scene he had just watched, "I don't know how they look like or what is it the Tier of their Armors, but I know for sure that their weapons are of Tier 4, made of Durasteel."
"Who are them?" Ferris also didn't recognized the purple-robed people, but hey have access to heavy weaponry, that mean they had money, "The Syndicate? No, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Letheia's territory."
"Ma'am, look" Mouro shook Ferris away from her thoughts. She looked over and saw that the purple mans were carrying someone out of the Lunar Base. She enlarged the screen and saw that they had took Clark, the Overseer of the facility, [What they want with him?]
"Mouro, continue carrying the procedure 347, I will talk with my superiors about this." She watched as they boarded the ship and swiftly left.
"Alright..." He rested his Sniper on shoulder and sat down. He just had to make sure no one leave the moon alive. He stayed in his advantage point looking at the miners struggling to survive against the mutants, or how the Letheia Corporation call them, Moontants.
