Re: Atlantis
Jacobs shot her a worried look.
"Unless Siphon called in more people from Peltas and didn't tell us, plus beamed them in, chances are those aren't friendly."
As Ariana made her move, she heard a strange trumpeting sound, followed by what had to be the gou'ald cursing, and blaster shots going off. This was followed by what sounded like something running on the WALLS, followed by a surprised sound from their target, and the sound of doors sliding open and shut. This was then followed by the sounds of something slamming into said doors.
Vorhan had also made a move, his Zat drawn as he made his way a bit up the hall when the opening presented itself. Ariana watched him duck behind cover, move outward to look, and then she saw the Tokra stiffen in surprise, barely ducking behind cover as something solid flew past his position, nearly ripping his head off. When it landed, Ariana could see the newcomer in all it's ugly detail.
It moved on four clawed legs, powerfully built and suited for both running and being used as skewering arms. It's skin was a strange greyish color, and it seemed to have one sole eye in the center of it's head, more of a black indent than an actual eye. It was larger than any of them, almost as large as a great ape, and had dozens of sharp teeth lining it's mouth. It let loose constant low growls, already in the process of turning back to face the Tokra. If the way it had come at him were any indication, not only was this thing likely to be incredibly strong, but it was stupidly fast too. A gut instinct might tell Ariana that whatever this thing was, it clearly was an unfriendly evolved predator with lots of killing power. The dots on her scanner placed one of them exactly where this beast was, which meant there might be three of them.
