Tyrlatius POV
Tyrlatius still had revenge on his mind when the ship lurched from the explosion. He had gotten two grunts, a jackal, and an Elite to follow him, and now they were all rolling across the hallway. When they got up, there were a couple fires, smoke everywhere, and the coms channel was broadcasting the same message over and over again, “All hands abandon ship!” Tyrlatius signaled for his comrades attention. We must get to the escape pods!” He stated. They were two floors above an surely the elevators weren’t working, so they had to climb the service tubes. They all began to make a break for it, one grunt and jackal in the front, the Elite in the middle, and Tyrlatius and the other grunt bringing up the rear. When they reached the tube, the jackal shoved the grunt out of the way, and scrambled up the tube. They all followed. Tyrlatius didn’t like the tubes. They were designed to be perfect for Elites, which made them a little cramped for Brutes. After what seemed like an hour, they all popped out of the tube. The jackal ran ahead, determined to make it to the pod first. He was halfway there when a piece of debris fell on him. Tyrlatius felt a slight pang of irony. That coward shoved others out of the way so he would survive, and paid for it with his life. “Go ahead and prep the pod!” Tyrlatius told the Elite. The Elite ran ahead and the grunt minor followed. Tyrlatius and the slower heavy grunt followed behind. They rounded a corner, and saw the grunt minor disappearing into the pod. Tyrlatius didn’t think they would make it, so he picked the grunt up and threw him over his shoulder. He charged straight towards the pod, and when he got there, he chucked the grunt inside. Tyrlatius got in and closed the pod door. It was a little cramped but better than dying in a fiery inferno. The clamps released and pod flew into the air. “Navigate away from the battle!” Tyrlatius said. “Yes I’m not stupid.” The Elite replied. He adjusted course and they shot away towards a valley in the distance.
