Something's hanging around

As the team cleared the subway platform and Alice and the Special Ops group rejoined them, they tried to set up a perimeter. This turned out to be somewhat difficult as the team had to rely on their torchlights as their only source of light since there was no power, which left everywhere a team member wasn't pointing their weapon dark. Captain Kirie ordered the 4 privates to set up with their lights shining into the pair of tunnels on either end to make sure anything traveling in them would be seen.

While the Captain tried to work out a plan on what route to take with Eve, someone who was fairly familiar with the subway system in the city, Clarissa and Lina were posted to watch the tunnels on one end of the platform. While the rest of the team was busy sweeping the area behind them, clearing bathrooms, service corridors, and maintenance hatches, the two of them were pointing fancy flashlights down a tunnel.

"Do you think this is a good idea? If we run into anything we don't have anywhere to go..." Lina said, her voice trembling almost as much as her hands.

"They probably wouldn't expect us to come from under ground, most of our troops have come from the air. Don't worry about it, we'll be fine," Clarissa responded. She looks over to Lina, only able to see her outline in the poor lighting. Clarissa tried to move over to Lina and give her a quick reassuring pat on the shoulder, but her arm brushed up against something slimy... and sticky. She gave a quick tug , trying to pry herself free of whatever this thing was.

Without another moment to ponder what she had blundered into, Clarissa was yanked high into the air, dropping her weapon and screaming out, her voice echoing throughout the chamber and down the tunnels.

Lina turned and backed away from where her friend had just stood, pointing her weapon up to follow the sound of Clarissa's cries. As the light shown on the ceiling, Lina could see Clarissa being pulled up into the waiting embrace of of some sort of mass of organic growth attached to the ceiling, 1 long tentacle with it's victim attached withdrawing back into itself while at least half a dozen shorter ones waved back and forth reaching out for her.

By this time the Captain was yelling for everyone to regroup while both her and Eve aimed at the unknown Towerling attached to the ceiling, but held fire as it lifted Clarissa into it's grasp and tore apart her uniform. Lina kept backing up away from under the Towerling, her partner being turned and twisted in mid air as her uniform was shredded. She watched as Clarissa was then positioned facing down towards the ground, her limbs bound as she was pulled up back against the Towerlings body.

"Somebody HELP!!! Uhhh..." Clarissa cried out just as a she was penetrated by one of the tentacles.

Lina was captivated by what she saw and wasn't paying attention as she backed into what felt like a rope. Panicking, she tried to run forward and was quickly yanked up herself.

"AHHHHH, NO, GET IT OFF!" she screamed.

By now, the rest of the squad had regrouped and were looking for good firing angles.
