In Their Own Story

The sky above the city turned the sickly green of a bruise as the Alien Spacecraft descended, its hull a grotesque fusion of metal and flesh that seemed to breathe. Inside, Duke Nukem kicked open a hatch, the stench of ozone and alien sweat hitting him like a wall. He'd been here before—same pulsating walls that throbbed like a heartbeat, same glowing consoles that hummed with an off-key frequency, same endless corridors that seemed to shift when he wasn't looking, as if the ship itself was alive and resented his presence. A drone screeched around the corner, its single eye blazing red, and Duke's shotgun answered with a thunderous roar that echoed down the metal halls. 'Time to clean house,' he muttered, stepping over the twitching remains, the gooey ichor sticking to his boot. Somewhere in this floating tomb, Dr. Proton was waiting, probably cackling behind a force field. Duke had a date with a boot to the face, and he was already running late.
