Starship Troopers: Invasion Page #3

and exterminate

any resistance we might find.

- You got that?

- Sir! Yes, sir!

All right, troopers.

Let's get the lady her ship back.

Initiate docking procedure.

Initiating docking procedure.

Team One. Lieutenant Daugherty,

Ice, Trig, Mech, Shock Jock

leading Captain Ibanez

to the bridge.

Team Two. Chase, Kharon, Chow,

Bugspray, Gunfodder,

Ratzass, Holy Man and the rest of you,

you're coming with me to the engine room.

Don't know what we're gonna

find in there, so be ready for anything.

Let's go!

Gravity:
zero.

Oxygen level:
yellow.

Ready to board

the John A. Warden.

We're in. Team One

moving toward the bridge.

Team Two boarding.

Moving toward the engine room.

Something up ahead.

No.

Oh, my God.

Team Two, we've got bodies

near the bridge.

We've got bodies everywhere.

Man, they've been bug-ripped.

Infestation confirmed.

Stay sharp, people.

Renewing objective.

Daugherty to Team Two.

We're on the bridge.

And it ain't pretty.

We've got multiple casualties.

And one dead bug.

All clear.

Shock Jock.

Massive tearing wounds.

Oh, my God.

My crew.

Bridge is secure.

Team Two, what's your status? Over.

Entering engine room now. Over.

F***ing bloodbath.

Team Two scout.

I've got dead troopers and bugs.

- Holy sh*t!

- Amen.

- Why'd they all die here?

- Focus on the mission, troopers.

- Chow, prep the engines.

- Yes, sir.

Major, I have a survivor.

Well, find him.

Chow, what's the status on that engine?

- Give me ten.

- You got five.

- Yes, sir.

- Team One, engines operative in five.

Is that a real five minutes

or a sort-of five minutes? Over.

Hard five.

And we've got a possible survivor.

Going to investigate. Over.

Gunfodder, have team hold position.

Bugspray and Ratzass, cover Chow.

Like paint, Major.

Looks like they were trying

to make this into a lab.

- What is that thing?

- A holding cell.

To keep a bug inside.

Now it looks like they were trying

to keep 'em out and somebody else in.

Emergency power supply from Alesia

seems to be working.

Team One, Team Two,

gravity restoration in five...

four, three, two...

F***!

Internal oxygen level is green.

I'd feel a whole lot better if I knew

what happened to those bugs.

Wouldn't we all?

Who's there?

Major Varro.

What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be on trial.

Yeah, well...

Looks like that plan was about as

successful as your little experiment here.

What happened on this ship, Jenkins?

I hacked her, so she hacked me.

She? What do you mean "she"?

Worthy opponent.

She hacked everything.

Me, the ship, everything!

Well, of course she did.

She knew what I was thinking.

Thoughts become words,

words become deeds.

Thoughts become words,

words become deeds...

We're gonna get you outta here.

You and I can settle our score later.

- Open the door, Jenkins.

- And let you kill me? No!

Besides, it's safer in here.

Safest place on the ship.

My safe place, yes.

Safe place. My safehouse.

Open the door, Jenkins.

You think it's funny?

Turning tables? Tables turned?

I arrested you,

now I'm the one in the cage.

You think that's funny?

Do you? Do you?

I'll leave your ass here,

don't think I won't.

You figure it out while

we clear the rest of the ship.

Have this door open

by the time we get back.

There's nothing to clear!

The crew's dead. Everyone's dead.

Darkness...

Darkness is your friend.

Whatever you do,

don't turn on the lights.

Let there be light!

Yes!

Varro to Chow,

do not restart the engines!

Do you copy?

Don't be afraid of the dark.

Good job, Chow. Bridge is green.

Chase!

Grenade!

Bugs! We've got bugs!

Multiple contacts!

Holy sh*t!

It's that abyss

you were talking about.

Engine room under attack!

Take positions! They're coming.

Get back to the airlock!

Move and fire!

No!

I'll draw 'em off! You go!

No! We're not leaving him!

Go!

I'll see you on the other side.

Holy Man!

Hold formation and fire!

Die, bugs!

You think I give a rat's ass

if I die?

This way!

Get to the airlock.

Bridge, we're heading to the airlock.

And they are right on our ass.

Roger that!

Goddamn it!

Chow!

Run!

Alesia, we are under

massive bug attack.

Request immediate evac.

Repeat, request immediate evac.

Roger that.

Alesia is preparing for your retrieval.

Let's go.

This is Alesia.

Ready for your arrival. Over.

It's jammed!

I don't suppose you have

a good replacement part to fix this.

You're gonna make it.

That's right.

You can't let me die.

I'm the only one

of your patients that's lived.

Open the airlock.

- Shock Jock, you go first.

- Yes, sir.

What the hell? Evasive action!

Shock Jock!

What the hell just happened?

The Alesia is gone.

- Did we just fire on them?

- Alesia! Captain Jonah!

Answer me!

Listen up, everybody.

We head to the bridge. Now!

Since when

is she giving the orders?

Since we boarded her ship.

Just asking.

Bugs!

I hacked her,

so she hacked me...

I hacked her,

so she hacked me...

Are you all right, Captain?

You know,

if I wanted to run this much,

I would have

joined the Mobile Infantry.

Captain Ibanez to the L-6 base.

High Command,

this is the John A. Warden.

Johnny, please respond.

Communication is always jaggy

near wormholes.

I recommend we position

ourselves away from the nebula.

How did the cannons fire?

And why target our own ship?

Jenkins tried to warn us.

Carl is alive?

- Locked himself in a bugcage.

- And you're just now telling me this?

Look, Captain,

if you're ready for a full debriefing,

I'm all for it.

- Hero...

- Jenkins found a queen on Fort Casey.

He ordered us to capture it alive.

- What the...

- Tell her the rest, Major.

Yes, Major.

Tell me the rest of it.

I knew trying to take the queen

would result in heavy casualties.

I wasn't gonna sacrifice my men

for a bughunt.

So that's why he had you arrested.

But he got the queen after all.

Wait a minute. How the hell

can a bug control the starship?

You're gonna have to

ask Jenkins that.

What the...

- We're moving.

- Where?

No idea.

But if the queen is in control...

- We need to stop her from getting there.

- How?

Back to the engine room.

Shut 'em down.

Negative.

Not enough soldiers or ammo.

What the hell are you doing?

- Praying.

- Well, keep it up.

We're gonna need

all the help we can get.

Now we're back in business.

Captain, you need

to take a look at this.

She's heading straight for

the Marhsal Helm wormhole.

It'll take her straight to Earth.

This is Captain Ibanez

to the L-6 base.

Captain Ibanez calling L-6 base.

This is Captain Ibanez

to Johnny Rico.

L-6 base, come in!

This is Captain I...

What the hell are you doing?

If she is in the engine room,

then I'm gonna hunt her down.

- I'll back you up.

- No.

You stay.

Besides, you'll never be able

to fit through here.

I'll be back.

You're not gonna stop her?

She's a big girl.

She knows what she's doing.

- Do we?

- I bypassed the circuit board.

If we can gain control
