From the Fog

[Coenmcj]

[Town of Phoenix VI, somewhere on an uncharted rimworld]

Langley stands at his post, M24 in hand, peering out through the embrasures into the valley that houses the town of Phoenix VI , a thick fog is rolling in, accompanied by the occasional thunder clap.

Glancing over at bunker 15 metres away on the other side of the entrance and thumbs his radio.
"Looks like a bad storm, don't it Jonesy?" He states

"Yeah, would be the perfect time for-..."
A lightning strike illuminates the area, something small dashing behind a bush out in the darkness
"Did you see that?" Jonesy replies

"See what?"
Another flash, A ball of red fur dashes behind another bush, much closer this time
"Oh god no"

From the opposite bunker, the sounds of a minigun spinning up are heard, Langley slams down on the alarm panel as another lightning strike illuminates Dozens, if not hundreds of boomrats making their way down the valley towards them, Langley and Jonesy start firing off shots, explosions declaring a fatal hit.

Their comrades arrive after the two had been fighting for more than 3 minutes, already 4 dozen lie at their feet, and more were still arriving when a bolt of lightning strikes something inside the base, Langley glances over his shoulder to surprisingly find there are boomrats coming from behind the entrenched defenders.
"WE'RE SURROUNDED!" He shouts as a pair of boomrats start biting at his legs, Langley kicks it, resulting in the death explosion boomrats are known for.

"Randy! Why have you forsaken us?!" One of his comrades shouts before Langley drifts into unconsciousness, later to die in his coma while his comrades die around him, The boomrat onslaught unending.

They're bloody terrible, that mixed with the fog rolling in moments before the wave and how disasterous it turned out, I just had to turn it into a story.
