                                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 &#150; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[<a href="alien_onos_name.html">Name</a>]</p>

                                      this species has caused), the name &quot;Onos&quot; 
                                      does actually come from the phrase &quot;Oh 
                                      no.&quot; Early on in the conflict with 
                                      the Kharaa, a Frontiersmen squad was fighting 
                                      to regain control of a solar array in the 
                                      Eleme system. Sporadic audio contact had 
                                      been maintained with the squad by an experimental 
                                      broadcasting spike, driven through the station's 
                                      hull. In the besieged marine base, heavy 
                                      turret placement and reinforcements had 
                                      allowed them to hold off wave after wave 
                                      of attack. Time stamp 65.05.43: Through 
                                      the sound of gunfire and grenades, the screech 
                                      of leaping Skulks and swoosh of acid rockets, 
                                      a faint roar is heard. The alien weapons 
                                      fall conspicuously silent. The turrets stop. 
                                      The roar is heard again, much closer, much 
                                      louder. Then four marine's, almost in unison 
                                      &#133; &quot;Oh no&quot;. All hell breaks 
                                      loose, contact is lost. These &quot;Oh no's&quot; 
                                      mark the first contact with this species.
