Nest escape stories

[caleeb101]

My best nest escape was the time I got captured and put in the crashed ship. The first mistake was leaving a drone to guard me. I actually felt kind of sorry after blasting it with buckshot because it was only a drone. I started moving south and heard gunshots, so knew I was near the frontline. That's when a spitter comes out of no where and tries to put me down but buckshot was too kind that day and said 'I refuse' though I got burned in the process. A sentinel came and went as well and it missed like 5 tackles even though it was mature LOL

I manage to spot the Queen in the bottom corner of my screen and I can see the marines at this point but it's no good. She rushes back and screeches and for a second time, I thought it was all over. Then I remembered the nade I had in my armor slot. I popped that shit so fast.... and died. But I still bursted.

So what's your best nest escape?

On big red i was nested somewhere indoors in between security and lambda labs. There were quite a few bodies nested around me, several of them still living. I was surrounded by resin doors and figured there were at least two guards. Waited for the guards to check on me and leave eyesight before breaking free. I pulled out my service pistol and freed 2 other nested marines. Imediately 2 drones and a hunter moved in on us. One of the marines fired a shotgun, got tackled and nested again. The other just ran away immediately upon being freed. I tried to fight with the shotgun weilding marine. I fired a few rounds off anddroped it when i was tackled. Thinking i no long stood a chance i pulled my boot knife and ran. All3 xenostried slashing me only i landed a melee strike. Finaly the hunter tackled me and i got back up and continued running. I got outside lz1 before being surrounded and killed. The rest of the xenos were in the hangar and the drop ship literaly just left. So close to surviving but i think i did pretty good concidering i travelled halfway across the map being chased and wasnt even injured until i had gotten completely clear of the hive.

Are attempts fine too?

[Simo94]

all my great nest escape stories involve buckshot, so yeah.

[TheMusician321]

As b18 got combat nested but was never hugged, so I sat there for a good ten minutes listening to my dudes bursting having totally given up, only to see that I was right next to their larva stash, got up and fired three or four nades before the spitter took me down, it tried getting me hugged to no avail that it just decided to slash me to death.

[Heckenshutze]

In a time where Xenos were unable to see if a host was dead or alive or if it was infected, I while nested made the "seizes up and falls limp..." emote, then the drone moved me out of the nest to where the bodies were been pilled up so after the drone left me there I waited for a few seconds, grabbed my boot knife and carved myself an escape tunnel.

During my first month I was captured on Ice and managed to break free at the same time a squad of marines were pushing near the nest. I was left unguarded and stray gunshots broke the wall leading out of the nest. As I ran through the fight my screen turned bright white and I had no clue what had happened. It was the first time I ever saw a OB let alone get hit by one. I managed to get up and limp back to LZ 1 where I was put in a stasis bag and popped but survived due to a bug. I died as the DS landed on the ship and was immediately cloned.

It was on big red, I was captured in lambda as SL, the idiot sent watching me left me alone so I quickly got up placed my OB and watched as xenos desperately tried to drag the larva away from it. But alas the SO was too quick, 30 larva die myself included as the entire xeno hive collapses. As the last few aliens run away into the caves and delta squad strides in and fucking revives me after OBing myself. I then hobble away to the ship.

I didn't actually escape, but I made sure the xenos regretted keeping me alive. On LV, I was a PFC with a mag harnessed flamethrower, I was captured and dragged into the nest unharmed. With this 100% health (besides the larva in my chest), I broke out of the nest, burnt the runner and spitter watching me to death, walking around the hive burning eggs until I got nested again. Broke out of the nest again, then I killed two sentinels and caught a crusher on fire, don't know if he lived or not. Very redeeming to myself since I got captured by a sentinel.

Took a terrible head injury on LV, after getting it splinted I continued pushing since I was SL, get hit again and splint falls off without me realising until ive suffered so much brain damage that during the retreat from hydro I go blind and lose control of my legs.

Being blind and with heavy brain trauma, I take the time to RP the shit out of this, as a runner has as an after thought come back to nest me, and since we hadn't discovered their life cycle yet IC I was confused why I was still alive, and getting facehugged I played it off as a weird yet comforting thing since while I was facehugged I couldn't feel any pain, and by the time it fell off my body was numb from trauma, so over comms the whole way up to the DS with the ayyys I spouted half crazed ramblings about how the xenos just wanted to help us, and to give in and let them nest you, ect.

I was leading off of stuff the queen had psychic whispered me, and after the DS crashed a young runner put me in the cockpit so I could see the stars one last time before I burst, but the mood was ruined because I was blind

[Solarmare]

It was only attempt, but I broke out once wielding a burstfire magharness m4a1. Let me tell you that was basically a buckshot shotty, insta crit the first two xenos that came after me and killed another ssd sent before the queen came and murdered me personally. Would recommend BFA for stronk rifle of many danger.

I had one really good escape on LV, I had been nested and a lot of marines were getting hugged and dragged in as the front line was REALLY close. I'd spot a few rounds hitting the walls down the caves, Xenos everywhere trying to hold the line but they kept pulling marines into their nest.

There was about 6 of us able to break free and I had made 2 solo attempts before the others showed up, I had a pretty good feel for the nest's layout and was able to cut the right resin doors. We had a squad leader with C4 in our ranks so, I made sure to cut the door blocking us from the wall keeping us from the outside. So, during the chaos of our escape, the xenos were restraining the other group and they ignored us since we looked cornered anyway, C4 was placed and exploded just as the xenos were upon us. The SL and myself were the only ones able to get out of the hole we blew up.

It wasn't over yet, marines were calling CAS in the open, gattling rounds were going off, grenades were exploding, smartgunners and M41s were spraying all over the place.
Queen tries to get us and after getting nicked by an explosion (queen was an explosion magnet) I lost sight of the SL. I don't think he made it.
I got up and limped towards the bullets, weaving to the sides as the xenos would try to get me but pull back when lots of lead flies at them (and me).

I can't hear anything by the way.

I make it to table fort and start screaming hysteria and about getting face fcked, I had seen another marine pop and my time was getting close.
A medic who checks on me drops me into a stasis bag and drags me back to the DS. Marks me for high priority.

I burst on the surgery table!

I think PerfectDeath wins. Apropriate name btw.

Once apon a time your boy was strolling around tfort looking for bugs to smash. I was just a lowly PFC on a search patrol hunting for where the fuck Charlie squad was. Our boys were on the edge of the caves but not doing great. After a quick looting of a dead SL it was clear we were quickly losing our ground. One meme screech later and I was being wisked away to the furthest deepest darkest and dankest depths of the caves where no man comes out alive. But ya boy ain't no little bitch, and he ain't no mere man.

One nap after a bout of nonconsentual spit swapping with a face snuggler later and I thought I was basically done for. Not one to give up however I struggled with the bondage the scalies put me in and eventually popped out. Over the radio I heard cries of the Nexus getting shit on and knew I wasn't getting home the way I dropped down. On my way out the caves some larva thinks it can take me on 1v1. It was a hard fought battle but eventually I got the upper hand and blasted it away in one hit from a good ol fashioned gyro'd shotty. After blasting out a few more walls, finding some bursted marines and getting super sick of the disgusting stench of the ino's I had finally made my way to the river above LZ2. I was almost home free, almost.

Waiting at LZ2 crying like a massive fucking bitch for DS2 to come down and evac my bitch ass was one of my proudest moments. Took like 6 radio messages in about 4 minutes for senpai command to notice me. 5 more minutes I would wait, 5 minutes of terror, fear, and paranoia. A runner does a drive by of the LZ and notices me chillin. His fucked off the moment I flashed some buckshit his way. But the xenos weren't done with me just yet. That bitch ass runner snitched on my and told his big sister Hunter gal that I needed a few less limb, and she was for real about it. She stood at the edge of my screen and I heard a voice in my head... "I'm going to kill you". "Fuck you!" I replied before radioing my last and finally answered request for evac. The hunter was toying with me, seemingly not intent on killing me, she musta really wanted that baby lizard that was baking in my oven. She beat my up quite a bit and forced me to fall back onto the actual LZ, the one DS2 could land on any moment now. In a last desperate attempt to defend myself I remembered something... I looted an SL a moment ago... I HAVE AN OB! I planted that bitch down at my feet and I could FEEL the fear from that hunter. They weren't having none of that sheit. I taughted it. LAUGHED AT IT, egging it on to come get me. It wouldn't dare. As DS2 landed the pathetic xeno scrambled away, giving me the chance to climb inside and close the shutters. The PO and I didnt stick around long. The nexus had fallen, everyone was dead or evac'd. As we took the skies I told command to drop my OB just for funzies. I didn't get to see it go off, but I like to hope that hunter went back and got hit by it.

After all that I can't remember what happened. I know I got my abortion, but after that? Eh no clue. Prolly died in and SD defence. This was back when the SD was in the middle on the upper deck and so was CIC. Feels so long ago, but it was something like 6 months ago, so, maybe it was a while back. Haven't quite had a time like that since. Plenty of other good give escape attempts, but I'm the DiscoKing not the Escape King, so it usually ends in failure for me.

Struggled to break out of nest. Got free and then was spit on. Was nested again. Aliens growled something derogatory which I imagined was them calling me their lil gutterslut.

[Carnolus]

Let’s see here.....
On LV I got nested as a smartgunner. I got up, pulled out my smartgub, set it to burst and waited for the door to open. I knew they’d come to put me back. I bursted the xeno point blank (spitter, sentinel.. can’t remember) and escaped. I got taken down by a crusher halfway to the river , died before I burst.

Another time I just work from cryo. The Alamo crashed into the cryo room earlier, and it was dark. I got taken with little fight, just a few punches. Me, a CT, and 5-6 other PJ marines took down a drone, gave the queen something to do, and other shenanigans

[juliansl]

I ghosted immediately upon being brought to the nest and joined as a xeno 10 minutes later, and then they just let me right out! Perfect plan.
