Jamie was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice that someone had come into the room at first.
"Come on. Come on. Health boxes. I need health boxes." He muttered under his breath as his character ran down the hall, guns primed. His health levels were getting dangerously low. One or two more good shots and no restoration boxes and he was a goner.

Jamie raised his guns and started firing at them, but two of them got in lucky shots and the screen went black for a moment. Then a picture of an alien general laughing at him popped up and spent at least two minutes laughing at him before the menu screen came up again.
