<p><b>Summary</b>: The dreadnaughts of the Kharaa,
|
||
|
|
the Onos are tanks – highly armored and very
|
||
|
|
powerful. They are so large they cannot use crawlspaces
|
||
|
|
and many of the narrow passages found on human
|
||
|
|
ships and bases. This does not limit their effectiveness
|
||
|
|
very much – the Onos is the highest level
|
||
|
|
response to any threat, requiring large amounts
|
||
|
|
of resources to gestate, but paying off with truly
|
||
|
|
awe-inspiring strength. [<a href="alien_onos_name.html">Name</a>]</p>

<p><i>"The grillwork – 'round 20'
|
||
|
|
by 20' of 6" metal bars – blew
|
||
|
|
off its welds and slid, still upright, digging
|
||
|
|
grooves into the silo's floor with an ungodly
|
||
|
|
squeal and hail of sparks. It tripped on
|
||
|
|
our arms factory and fell diagonally against
|
||
|
|
the curved wall opposite, forming a kind
|
||
|
|
of lean-to over our base. I had hit my jet
|
||
|
|
pack at the first noise, and was hovering
|
||
|
|
thirty feet above the scene. I angled onto
|
||
|
|
a catwalk. Sollis and Deej had dived to
|
||
|
|
the floor (no small feat in heavy armor),
|
||
|
|
narrowly avoiding the metal. They now stood
|
||
|
|
up, firing their HMG's down the hallway.
|
||
|
|
The Onos ran straight at them, bullets pocking
|
||
|
|
into its head plate, falling flattened to
|
||
|
|
the floor. I unloaded a clip from my LMG
|
||
|
|
into its back. They couldn't dodge in that
|
||
|
|
armor – the Onos suddenly doubled its
|
||
|
|
speed, and they went sprawling, Deej taking
|
||
|
|
the blow to his shoulders, smashing onto
|
||
|
|
his back and going down under its hooves,
|
||
|
|
Sollis getting a tusk to the midriff, throwing
|
||
|
|
him in an amazing cartwheel that terminated
|
||
|
|
halfway up the grillwork in a jumble of
|
||
|
|
bent armor and broken limbs. I reloaded
|
||
|
|
and emptied another clip into its back.
|
||
|
|
Sollis slid, inert, down the grillwork to
|
||
|
|
the Ono's feet. Deej's armor was literally
|
||
|
|
flat in places, inches thick, like he was
|
||
|
|
made out of clay. The Onos walked over to
|
||
|
|
our infantry portal and rent it in two with
|
||
|
|
its tusks. I reloaded and emptied another
|
||
|
|
clip into its back. It walked over to our
|
||
|
|
armory and butted it with its head, bending
|
||
|
|
its top, screens shattering and smoke trailing
|
||
|
|
up. I reloaded and emptied another clip
|
||
|
|
into its back. The Onos walked around to
|
||
|
|
the left of the grillwork and seemed to
|
||
|
|
consider it. It crouched down, crawling
|
||
|
|
awkwardly under the diagonal opening, then
|
||
|
|
suddenly stood, sending the grate toppling
|
||
|
|
back against the other wall. It looked down
|
||
|
|
on our command console. Our commander, Roswell,
|
||
|
|
came in over the comm line: "Andre
|
||
|
|
– I dropped another CC in the Steam
|
||
|
|
Ramp. Maybe they won't notice it. Get there
|
||
|
|
and get a portal up, stat." </i></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><i>The waypoint came up on my HUD. Steam
|
||
|
|
Ramp. 60 meters away. The Onos started to
|
||
|
|
slam against the CC. I counted to three
|
||
|
|
and slipped from the catwalk, bursting my
|
||
|
|
jets just feet above the silo floor to break
|
||
|
|
my fall. I leaped again, skimming through
|
||
|
|
the bent teeth sticking from the archway
|
||
|
|
where the grill had been. I heard a moment
|
||
|
|
of gunfire as Roswell was ejected from the
|
||
|
|
CC just before it was destroyed. Then I
|
||
|
|
was off into the red glow of the tunnels,
|
||
|
|
with two clips of ammo and a horde of beasts
|
||
|
|
between me and one small chance at turning
|
||
|
|
this around."</i></p>
