As they approach the corridor, something darker than the darkness moves. 
  Above there is the pounding of railgun fire, and suddenly the ceiling 
beyond explodes with fire.  A creature, like a snake, but black as oil, 
with wings and a horrifying maw filled with black teeth recoils from the 
light, though it blocks the hallway still.

Bongo tries to bring the neural mace down on its head, but with a 
serpent's speed it darts out of the way.  It, in turn, winds around and 
attempts to bite Bongo in the arm, and Bongo is unable to get out of the 
way.  With a grip of iron, it clamps down the arm holding the neural 
mace, and though Bongo doesn't drop it, neither can he free himself.

[GM]
Alex fires at the creature, trying to avoid shooting Bongo, aims for the 
creatures head and fires.  The burst hits the creature square in the 
head, shattering half of the frightful thing.  It releases Bongo's arm 
and races towards Alex and frightening speed.
