Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20170711171909/@comment-30700719-20170715041528

I gasp and take a step back. One of the outliers spots me and holds up a claw towards me. I turn and run back into the building. I slam the door to my office shut. "Damn. And I was just getting to like the scientist persona." I looked down at my white lab coat. "Vell, mayhaps Dr Himmel can at least varn ze poor researchers of ze coming attack!" I say, switching back into my persona's heavy German accent. "RUN! Dummkopfs! Zere is a large number of Vurms outside ze building! Zey are planning an attack on ze building! Run for your lives!" I wave my arms over my head, trying to get the staff to wise up and run. A few cocky fellows armed themselves with brooms and baseball bats from the gym. One of the more intelligent physicists seemed to be pulling on some kind of black and orange suit of armor, with a peculiar logo on the chest. He muttered something about "zero-point energy" as I ran past him. I did one last check of the building, then looked out the window. A rock pinged against the two-storey window, then a barrage of them shattered the glass. I ducked as shards caved under the volley of rocks. I raised my head just in time to catch a glimpse of a boulder flying towards me. I leaped to the side, as the hulking chunk of rock crashed through the wall. I could swear I saw a loli Wurm clinging on to it. An effective boarding strategy, if unusual. It rolled away towards a flight of stairs. I got up off the floor and started running.

I made it to the roof before the first screams echoed through the place. The science wing had been fully evacuated by all sane people, but the adjoined university obviously didn't get the heads-up. "Verdammt!" I slapped my head. I shrugged and typed in a code into my PDA.  I let out a breath and looked around. I could hear what sounded like gallon drums getting flung about the place. Suddenly, a braying moan filled the air. I spun around towards the roof access. A veritable harem of about five Wurms had spotted me and were now bounding over to me, using their forearms to propel themselves along. "You guys haven't—sorry." I cleared my throats and casually sidestepped them. They tried to turn around quickly, and subsequently lost their footing (?) on the ground. They went tumbling off, but soon reorientated themselves. "Vere is your precious medicine? It seems like ze serum has not yet been administered to you. Oh, vat a shame. Only ze slightly smart vones get smarter, you know." This seemed to drive them to greater parameters, which had the fortunate effect of diminishing their mental capacity. They came about for another pass, and I simply ducked under them. They had been reduced to such imcompetence, that by the time they had pointed themselves at me, I was nowhere to be found. I was simply hiding behind the modern brick chimney. They scanned the area, then bounded off downstairs to look for stragglers. The Rauser arrived, and I ruefully discarded the lab coat. "It's been fun, Dr Himmel." I clambered into the Rauser and flew away.
