Adam walked cautiously over to the box and laid his gun down on the ground next to it. He looked over at Lucas and gave him a nod. Lucas lifted his gun and pointed it at the top of the crate. Adam felt more comfortable with Lucas covering him. He realized, of course, that Lucas had no idea how to operate that gun and that there was just as good a chance that he might shot Adam instead of anyone inside the box but Adam tried to push those thoughts from his brain (he also had to try and push the face hugger scene from the movie Alien out of his mind). Adam decided that was the best he was going to get, besides if there was someone else imprisoned in this hellhole Adam couldn't just leave them behind.
Adam grabbed either side of the lid of the crate and lifted, tearing the top right off. Adam couldn't see inside the box, not because of how dark it was inside the box but because something had leapt out and clamped on to his face. He'd had no warning, just a flash of movement and Lucas' gasp. "Oh holy living crap!" thought Adam, "it's a fucking alien fucking face hugger!"
Remembering his movie lore, Adam kept his eyes and mouth shut tightly. He then grabbed a hold of the lims which had wrapped themselves around his head. He struggled with them but to little avail. They were clamped on tight.
"Geb dis tin offa muh face!" Adam shouted from under his covered mouth. He heard Lucas put his gun down and walk over to where he was standing. He felt Lucas pulling at the thing. Adam helped him out and between the two of them, they managed to finally yank the thing off of Adam's face.
Adam was surprised to find the 'alien face hugger' was actually a small green creature that looked like a mix between a lizard and a monkey. It had long arms with spindly fingers, a small body covered in a light fur and a round head with big eyes and floppy ears. Its large eyes looked up at Adam and then frantically searched the room, its little chest heaved. "Whit," it chirped in a frenzied high pitch tone. Adam smiled down at it.
