Twin Suns Supply: The Perfect Storm
The Survivors It's been twelve hours since the enormous fireball crashed down on the planet. The rescue team has just arrived, and the survivors are going about their business figuring out just what the hell happened.
Holland Sheldrake and Rex You two are chilling out in the apartment building lobby while on floor guard duty. The apartment's lobby used to have two large windows instead of walls, but they've been replaced with wooden barricades. Holland's old mining hammer rests on the counter of the reception desk. Its head and shaft is filled with a number of reaction wheels designed to accelerate the hammer mid swing, increasing its impact velocity to the point that it can smash through most anything. Quite useful. Rex is nosing around a one of Holland's hand grenades near the door. The other two are attached to Holland's belt, alongside a heavy duty mining charge and a molotov.
Waylon Ashford You're chilling in the third floor apartment where you live with the other survivors. The furniture is pretty run down after a couple years of wear and disrepair, and the bullet holes perforating the couch doesn't make it any more comfortable. Regardless, you're up there, and your Moscow Assault Solutions rifle, an old AK variant, is resting nearby the window. Its scope and your proficiency with it has netted you a lot of sniper duty, but today is your day off.
Aaron Vance You're standing on top of your group's building, looking out at the nearby coast for any kind of movement. You were the first to see the fireball land, somewhere in the northern sea. Right now, there's just waves and a few seagulls flying around the sand bank. Wait... You think you can see something wash up on the beach! Better gear up and investigate. You think you left your folding sword in the apartment, with your two Glocks.
The Rescue Team Your ship's intercom bings as you exit warp space. "Destination reached: Livma-6. Operation Quarantine Break initiated. Prepare for landing." says the ship's AI. It's got some long, professional designation, but the company just calls it Hal. Somebody up there has a morbid sense of humor.
Marcus Sands Your seat rattles and shakes, and you know you're entering the atmosphere. You can see your three other teammates in the ship's passenger bay. You're sitting next to Perigrinium and across from Audrey. Your gun, a TSS Longshot Revolving Rifle, rattles in response from its rack above your head. Your trusty 50 cal Anti-Personnel Revolver stays silent as ever in your hand.
Mike Kilgore In the darkness, you grip your Zion-7 Sonic Shotgun. It's blue charge meter illuminates your face in an unnatural glow. It's full, at least. In the otherwise rather dark ship, you see Audrey next to you and Perigrinium across. On your hip, your laser machete jingles and jangles.
Audrey Dean You're sitting next to Mike and across from Marcus. Your Matterhorn 782k-P Rifle jumps around a bit in its rack above your head. It casts a green glow on the wall. On your hip, in its holster, sits a small Zion-7 Hand Cannon. It whirs quietly.
Agent Perigrinium You're sitting next to Marcus and across from Mike. Your Durant "Eagle Eye" Laser Sniper Rifle sits comfortably in your lap. It gives off no glow, and is covered in urban camouflage paint. On your hip, a TSS Tri-Shot Plasma Pistol rattles and jiggles a bit in its holster.
With one giant bump, the ship touches down on the ground, and the back wall opens outward to form a ramp onto a ruined city street. "Welcome to Ward City. Population: Unavailable. You are currently on the eastern edge of the megacity. Last contact was made with the passenger ship Orion twelve hours ago on the northern coast. Good luck." beeps Hal, over both the ship's intercom, and over your radio headsets. The seat restraints hiss as they slide up, releasing you. The smell of salt water wafts into the cabin, and you can hear waves nearby. A seagull cries in the distance. Time to get going.

"Rex, what'd I tell yea about touching those? Your liable to blow this entire room." He said with his eyebrow raised. He then went over to his hammer and rested his hand on the end of it. He felt much more comfortable with it near and next to his hand especially after hearing the news. Something large had crash landed on the planet which threw a wrench into their usual business since they were to soon head out to investigate the crash. If they were lucky, there would be something worth getting off the wreck. Maybe even one of the life boats would be intact...

Waylon just rests on the couch and tries to get some rest. Not going to waste his day off doing actual exploration and work.
Who cares about the fuckin' fireball anyway? Probably some rare meteor thing, since those happen, because science. If not, whatever was in there will probably get us killed if we try to investigate. Curiosity killed the cat, after all.
His rant going on in his head is quickly replaced by strange, erotic... dreams of the various horrifying creatures* on this world as he dozes off.
*Silly rescue team, details about monsters are for survivors! :D

Marcus sits quietly next to Perigrinium, looking over the motley crew that would be his allies. It was odd having Allies , then again this was a rescue mission off a planet instead of rescuing some poor sap from his miserable existence.
Even when he had an ally like on that Scorpio mission he had simply executed him after the target was neutralized. Corporate probably loved him, a hired gun who cleaned up loose ends.
Marcus grinned just slightly as he watched the others. So, how many missions you all been on . By the way, they call me The Fixer.
He wasnt entirely sure what needed to be killed, but by his logic on a dead world...everything that moved was going to be Fixed.

"I know, I'm just a tad... cautious with them." He said as he placed his other hand on top of the dog's head. As Rex continued on, he replied, "We'll be going soon as soon as Aaron and perhaps Waylon get down here."

The Rescue Team You all trump out of the drop ship, and into the midday sun. The city before you is in ruin. Vines cover the walls of storefronts and office buildings. Shattered glass lays in the streets and you'd be hard pressed to find any unbroken windows. Weeds and ferns grow out from cracks in the street and sidewalk. A young tree pokes its leaves out of the roof of a nearby surf shop.
"Last contact co-ordinates are north-west of here. Be advised: Previous military installations may be active. Proceed with caution."
The Survivors Aaron Vance You see your equipment lying on a table next to the old television. Four extra magazines lie next to it. You see Waylon sitting on the couch, taking a nap.
Holland and Rex Your casual conversation is interrupted by some scratching at the windows. You hear something grumbling, and then footsteps moving around the outside of the barricade.

Aaron heads to the table and grabs his sword and glocks, he puts the glocks in his belt. He examines his sword, not remembering how it works.

Marcus would be among the first exiting the ship and looking about, rifle in hand. He really hoped that his teammates were at least reasonably competent, if not they would likely end up puddles of muck somewhere...maybe in a fire, depended.
"Okay everybody, remember to shoot first, shoot again, bash it's head in, and then afterwards ask it some questions over a cup of finely brewed tea."

"Oh Rex, you silly, greedy bas-." Holland said but was interrupted by rumbling at the gates. His hands instinctive take their places as he picks up his hammer. He walked quietly up to the door and slowly opens the door, ready to crush in hostiles.

The Survivors ((ignore the fact that i've been using the wrong color for the survivors))
Aaron You turn the folding sword in your hand, and you consider how it works. The top half of the sword is currently folded back using a small hinge that rotates the folding blade towards you and then out when extending. Then, a small groove on the top of the hilted blade allows you to snap it to the side, and into place. At full length, it's nearly six feet long and a formidable weapon against any foe. It has two Folded, and it's about three feet long, but still razor sharp and still usable in a pinch. To unfold it, just push the release switch on the hand guard and flick your wrist forward and to the side. Waylon continues to nap on the couch.
Holland and Rex Opening the door, you two look out into the street. To your right, there's just grassy sidewalk and some dust, but to your left a hominid twitches and grumbles. It's back is turned to you. You notice that it's leaning to its left a lot, and dragging its sword-like arm against your apartment's wall. The rest of it is relatively human, but its skin is a sick looking greenish brown and covered in blisters. It doesn't seem to notice you.
The Rescue Team ((Oops, almost forgot to mention this bit.)) Your AI crackles over the radio again. "Control link established. Deploying Project Two-Paw." With that, a compartment slides open in the side of the ship, and out steps an enormous mecha! "At the request of your mission commander, this audio is now being relayed." Over the radio, another voice comes on, one that sounds like an old army commander, with a little rasp to it. The mech takes a few unsure steps into this new area, and turns around a few times to scan the surrounding terrain. Apparently taking in enough, it bounds almost happily over to the group and bends down to take a look at its new friends.

Holland will quickly signal to his doge to circle around on his right side and to be ready. He then will get closer to the mutant and prepare for an overhead swing to end this quickly.

The Rescue Team Marcus and Perigrinus Two-Paw's buzzes in a way that sounds negative at Marcus's question, and then makes a kind of metallic tweeting sound and flaps its jet exhaust deflectors when Perigrinus pets it.
The Survivors Holland While Rex doesn't circle around in time, your hammer swings through the air with the sound of metal sliding across metal, and smashes the Hominid in the back of the head. With a sickening cracking sound, the head is hit off the shoulders and smacks into the ground, splattering pus and blood on the sidewalk. The now headless body gurgles as it falls to the pavement.

Marcus nods in approval at the rifle. He looks at his own and shakes his head.
Dang, I really ought to start taking trophy tallies. Me, been on forty one missions, each with a target. Sometimes there are guards so I've tallied up 67...ish takes. It's good work sometimes.

Marcus shrugs, he is obviously an energetic person though his mask blocks out emotion on his face.
Ah, I don't mind witnesses sometimes to keep it classy, just so long as you aren't wearing anything incriminating you'll be grand. So, you're gonna shoot on sight this mission right Peri?

[I'm glad I have explosives. You guys sound fuckn' nuts.]
With the threat eliminatied, Holland would signal for Rex to head back into the building. Upon reentering the building, Holland would clean his hammer and continue to wait for his team-mates to finally head downstairs.

Marcus spins his rifle about in an obviously practiced manuever, a slight laughter coming from his mask.

"This is my rifle. Accurate to extreme distances. Precise. A more civilized weapon for a sophisticated soldier. Explosives are loud, my traps are more along the lines of poison, and beartraps." Perigrinium fiddles with the zeroing on his rifle as he says this.

Marcus laughs a little bit as he listens.

Post by: Hibou on March 11, 2015, 06:39:24 pm
The Rescue Team Everyone You all reach a four-way intersection, surrounded by tall buildings with hollow and broken storefronts sitting at floor level. A soft breeze sweeps through the roadway, and the wild grasses growing in the cracks swishes quietly. 2Paw clunk ca-chunks behind the group, footsteps metalically tappingagainst the broken concrete. Your HUD map shows that you're near the center of Ward City. It's very peaceful, for a post apocalyptic cityscape. The peace doesn't last long, however. Two-Paw pipes up, "BWOOOM. BWOOP BOOMM." it says, in a robotic whine. You can hear some activity coming from seemingly all directions, footsteps and shuffling and a faint gurgling sound. You take note of nearby cover. A pileup of old cars occupies the majority of the eastern road, a ruined tank sits silently on the northern road, a few craters are on the western road, as well as a few old storefronts, and the southern road is completely bare, but still offers shelter in its shops and venues.
The Survivors The sun begins to dip below its zenith, and you all feel something change in the air.

Since the other two fucks aren't going to come along, Holland motions for his dog to follow him. He then takes a pencil from a nearby desk and write a note:
Went to the crash myself since you two are dicking around. Hurry the fuck up."
With the note written, Holland will head out with Rex towards the general crash site.

The Survivors Aaron, Holland, and Rex Gravel crunches underneath your feet and the wind blows through empty houses and burnt out cars. The neighborhood gets nicer as you move towards the beach, apartments turning to condos and then to expensive beach side estates, rising tens of stories into the air. They were once full of life, but now sit silent, like tombstones to the people that have been lost to the disease. You reach the beach. Waves lap against the wet sands, and looking across from the street you can see no bodies, just a bunch of shrapnel and warped metal. However, you see one piece of wreckage that looks particularly unusual. It's vaguely cylindrical, and has a lot of blue and yellow markings on it, with a reflective glass cover. It's just lying there on the sand.
Waylon In your sleep, you dream of times gone by. And cheese. Mmm, cheese.
Mark You clamber up onto the tank, and you notice through the missing hatch that the tank is filled with a flesh colored liquid. An eye floats up to the top of it, and then a tendril shoots out and attacks you!
Because of your training in hostile response, you see the tendril coming and barely manage to dodge it. Your instincts kick in, and you grab the tendril with your crush glove, ripping it from the mass. It screams in pain!
The flesh goop is in pain, and battered.
Perigrinium You deploy your energy shield, and back up towards the tank. Because you're on the northern road, you can see clearly to the south a large group of humanoid mutants, limping and jumping towards you. They're about a hundred yards away, and closing in fast.
Everyone Else You all group up on the northern side of the intersection, and prepare for attack.
Two-Paw deploys its cannon and electricity arcs from the barrel. "BRRRMMMMMM. KAAKUKUKUKUKUKUKU." says the mech. Hal beeps over the radio, "Please specify a target."

Marcus grunts a bit as he tears the fleshy tendril from the beast, looking into the tank he watches it...definitely still alive, that's not a problem. He has a feeling that the upwards fleshy goop is probably protecting any form of vitals farther down and so he does the sensible thing, he shoots at the wall of the tank in an attempt to ricochet the bullets into the creatures vitals...if it has any.
"Paw, open up on anything that isn't us or an identified VIP!"

The Rescue Team Perigrinium You take steady aim, and fire into the oncoming crowd. BZZOWKZZRTVRRRM Four mutants fall to the ground, unable to continue. From your vantage point, you could count thirteen more coming from the south.
Mark You whip out your sidearm and fire three shots into the side of the tank. They ricochet into the fleshy mass, splattering goop across the inside of the vehicle. Its eye sinks back down and a mouth forms on the surface, which opens wide and lets out a guttural, inhuman scream.
Two-Paw receives the instruction, and then rotates a solid 90 degrees, firing at the pile of cars. Schoooop... KOOOOOM The car pile blows apart, and you hear something get squished underneath one of the cars. Bits of viscera fly into the air.
The Survivors Waylon You swing your master plan into action, and reach the roof. As you do so, you hear a distant crash echoing through the city. It sounded like it came from the southeast. Likely some mutants trashing around in the center of the city. Otherwise, you can see the surrounding buildings and debris lying on the roofs. Towards the north you see more apartment buildings, and some far away estates. In the east you see office towers, covered in shattered windows and vines. In the south, smokestacks rise from the otherwise rather run down neighborhoods. In the west you see the rows of apartment buildings turn into two story houses. The sun's light warms your face.
Aaron You clamber over the pod, but slip on the cold glass and land in the sand. Nice.
Holland You run your hands over the pod, looking into it. The metal is cold to the touch, and you get some watery condensation on your fingers. The reflective glass provides no sight into the pod. Looking at the machine, you see the blue and yellow markings were actually logos. Some company called Twin Suns Supply. What gathers your attention, however, was a large red lever on the front that read "EMERGENCY RELEASE". Upon closer inspection, you see another label that says "Warning: Explosive bolts".

Marcus does the sensible thing once more, and straight up shoots the thing in the mouth until it stops making noise or rather stops being alive. If that doesn't work he's switching to his rifle and shooting this thing...it's going to die, one way or another.

The Rescue Team Marcus You fire a few more rounds into the mouth of the monster, and the goop splatters open midway down its "neck", severing the mouth. It flops harmlessly against the turret of the tank. The hole that it left in the goop, however, is as alive as ever. A fleshy tendril, with something resembling a human hand at the end flies out of the hole, and tries to grab at you!
Perigrinium You bark your orders, and Two-Paw buzzes in response. You fire three more shots down at the rapidly approaching horde. Three more mutants hit the pavement. Your gun blinks yellow, warning you that it's running low on charge.
Two-Paw whirs, charging up its next shot, and takes aim at the crowd coming from the south.
The Survivors Waylon You survey the area. There's not much out there, really. You do hear the clinking of a large number of cans a couple blocks to the west. Likely some mutant that had tripped one of your noise traps.
The Beach Buddies Holland pulls the lever of the pod, and with a series of pops akin to some firecrackers, the glass shield is launched off the pod and lands a few feet away in the sand. Suddenly, cold air wraps itself around your legs as mist pours out from the pod. You can't quite tell what's inside, yet, but as the mist clears you get a look.
It's a woman.
She looks to be about in her mid 30's, dressed in a professional looking business suit complete with short-heeled boots and a short haircut. Her skin is light, and her hair is brunette. Her hands a small and delicate looking, and are even freshly manicured. Her face is overall feminine, with a soft jawline and bluish lips. Her eyes are closed, and there is frost on her eyelashes and in her hair. She doesn't appear to be breathing.

Marcus flinches fast with his crush-gauntlet, a skill learned after his years of close quarters combat. He would grasp the tendril and crush it in his glove before promptly slamming it back down into the hole where it came from. With that he would glance around rapidly to make sure no other threats were inbound.

((Sorry about the lack of update. Got too busy to write one out.))
The Rescue Team Marcus You grab the HELL out of that tentacle, and sever it right where you gripped it. The disembodied goop hand flops to the side and turns back to mush, sloshing against the sides of the tank. The goop seems alive, but you've given it the message that you're not to be fucked with, and it doesn't seem willing to fight anymore.
You look over your shoulder and see a small group of around seven mutant humanoids stumbling towards you. They're about fifty yards away and closing.
Perigrinium You ready your shield and press the recharge button on your rifle. Three perforated cylinders suddenly extend from the side of the gun, hissing and letting off metallic smelling steam. The charge light slowly turns from red to green, signaling it's ready to fire and the cylinders slide back into the gun.
The Survivors Holland Apparently nobody else was ready or willing to perform CPR, so you get to business. You drag the woman out of the cryo pod, her skin cold to your touch, and you start pumping. One, two, three... Nothing. You try again, delivering three pumps to her chest, but still get nothing, so you start the mouth to mouth. After getting a solid seal on her cold lips, you blow into her lungs. And with that, her eyes flutter open. She mumbles something unintelligible.
Waylon You strain your eyes to see where the noise came from, but you can't quite tell what with all the buildings in the way. You hear more clanking sounds from that direction.

Marcus nods to the thing, looks like they'd reached an understanding. He reloaded his revolver and gradually began to walk towards the mutants with an air of murder time.
He would wait til they were about 15 yards away before opening up on them, one bullet per creature. He would aim for killing shots except the last one which he would attempt to delimb by blowing it's kneecap out.

The Survivors The Beach Bonanza ((If you want to stop her in any of her actions in the post, feel free. Just say where you cut her off and what happened next.)) The woman speaks again, just barely audible. Her voice is raspy, and while her skin is cold her breath is feverishly hot. "I said..." her hand slowly moves into her coat pocket. "State your name... Rank... And reason for being... On this vessel." She whispers. With that, she pulls from her coat a silvery snub-nosed revolver and places the barrel gently against Holland's neck.
The Rooftop Bop You ponder the philosophical meaning behind all this...
But all you find yourself thinking about is cheese.
The Rescue Team Perigrinium You lay into the trigger of your gun, missing the first shot, and the second, but manage to hit one mutant on its shoulder with the third. It keeps coming. Two-Paw walks up to your side and faces the oncoming group, and lets off another cannon shot. It blows one of the monsters into a huge blast of blood and bits. You no longer see a mutant, but a blood stain on the pavement. Pieces of bone, tissue, and gooey matter rain down on the monsters. Two other mutants are thrown to the ground by the explosion. An eyeball bounces off your helmet.
It looks like they're all about twenty yards away, now.
Marcus You get your murder on. The revolver kicks with each shot, the sounds echoing through the abandoned street, and you let them off in rapid succession. One. You miss. Damn. Two. You hit one right in the breast, and the hole left in it is about the size of a baseball. It's left arm drops off and onto the ground, having nothing to hold on to. Blood and pus gushes out of the wound, and it stumbles to the ground, unable to continue. Three. You miss completely, and the bullet ricochets off into the distance. Four. Another miss. Five. Critical! Your shot is placed so masterfully, so beautifully, that it blows through one mutant brain and slices through another just behind it. Both heads explode outwards, leaving small stumps of jaw and neck. They crumple to the ground. Six. You fire, and hit one in the gut. The shot rips through it, spraying blood, and it's knocked to the ground, but it doesn't look dead.

Marcus hadn't killed them all? Maybe he was slipping, oh well, now they got to the fun and his favorite part. He slid the revolver into it's holster and continued approaching, breaking into a sprint as he neared the first one, he would barrel into it, grasping at it's throat with his crushgaunt and aiming for a quick execution by tearing a chunk out.
If successful he would chuck the chunk at the next enemy.

The Survivors The Beach Bunch The woman takes a small moment to process the information. Her eyes go from drowsy to sudden shock, "Oh my god...", and she takes the gun off of Holland's neck to search her pockets for something. She sits up in the sand. "Gah, damn! Somebody call the fire department! My ship crashed... Somewhere..." her voices starts trailing off as she takes in the environment around her. "Where... Are we?"
The Rooftops Yougiveintothemadness...
You are on the rooftop. A girl from your old life beckons at you from the street. You loved her, but never told her. She's dressed in a white gown. You can't see her face, obscured by a veil, but you know it's her. You have to tell her.
You trip, and fall off the ledge.
You're falling, falling, watching the world fly by. Objects, bits and pieces of your past, float by without a care. You feel peaceful. Your mother calls out your name, but her voice is drowned out by the sound of flowing water. The water turns to blood. Your ears are filled with the screams of the damned. You can see them. Hundreds, dying like dogs to an unknown infection. The apocalypse. They said the disease was nothing to worry about. You knew differently. He told you. He came to you in the night, whispering words of cheese. The cheese was your salvation. He said so. He showed you the way to survival.
You felt free, in those dreams, for the first time in your life.
The ground rushes up to meet you. You feel your bones break and crack, and the cold embrace of death wraps itself around you.
You blink. You are on the rooftop.
The Rescue Team Perigrinium You get down on your knee, and start firing. You notice its harder to hit them with your sniper rifle at such a close range, but since a few mutants are stunned, you have no worry. You put three beams through the three downed mutants' heads. Easy.
It looks like you've finished off the last seven mutants, with just one left. It's currently charging Marcus.
Marcus Under Perigrinium's cover, you run at the nearest mutant. It's head is a terrible amalgamation of eyes and one festering, inhuman mouth. When you get near, it opens its terrible maw and lets out a scream that grates your ears. You return the favor. Grabbing its throat, your gauntlet closes around its windpipe. With a gruesome ripping sound, you tear out its neck. Blood spurts from the mangled extremity, and it crumples to the ground.
You hurl the chunk at the next nearest mutant, and manage to piss it off even more. This one has had its two forearms changed into two spikes, with yellowed bone tips. Its face is contorted into a visage of rage. It charges you.

Marcus grinned as he watched the charging beast, he set himself up into a classic defensive pose, almost like he planned to hug the thing. Marcus watches as it charges, the rush of the hunt pouring yhrough his veins. The faces of those he'd slain flashed before him and in his mind numbers calculated themselves rapidly, configuring to the charging beasts run.
He'd wait for it to near before grasping one of its appendages and using it to twist about the creature, he'd deliver a sharp elbow to the rear cranium as he passed before tearing the still clutched appendage from its socket, It would be in pain and likely lash around to face him, he would need to go under the swing before jamming the appendage upwards and hopefully past the ribs and inyo the heart. Easy.
As it neared he finished his plan mentally. This little beasty was about to be put down.

The Rescue Team Perigrinium You line up a shot with the mutant charging Marcus, but because of the mutant moving around so damn much and because it's so close to you, your shot just glances off its arm. It stops charging, Marcus, however, and turns to face you. It snarls, and then lets out a roar.
Marcus You get into a defensive stance, ready to receive the oncoming mutant, but a laser bounces off one of its arms and it stops, apparently angry at the shooter. You take the opportunity, and advance on the mutant. You grab its arm, crushgauntlet cementing the hold, and you throw the mutant at the ground. WHAM The pavement cracks a little when the mutant hits it, but the creature is not quite dead. You jump up into the air, and then elbow drop the mutant. CRRACK Your armored elbow passes easily through the back of the mutant's head, killing it instantly.
The city block turns from the sounds of conflict to the profound music of silence. The office buildings stand tall, and you've lost sight of the sun as it dipped below the rooftops.
Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST. In the south, the road is clear and uninhabited, as far as you can tell. To the east, a bunch of cars lie haphazardly around, with fresh blood spattered all over them. In the west, the road is dotted with small craters. To the north sits an old, ruined tank. Some fleshy liquid is dripping out of the main turret barrel.
Other points of interest include a number of storefronts in the area, including a broken up corner store, an old tailor's shop, a boarded up shop, and a thoroughly ruined pastry shop. You see what looks like a small turret and a military styled jeep towards the west.
Your AI reminds you that the fastest way to the crash site is towards the north.
The Survivors The Away Team The woman gets up, with some difficulty. "Let's get going, then. I'm Vae, by the way. Vae Rembrant. Junior Vice President of Planetary Security for Twin Suns Supply Incorporated. Hell of a title, but it pays good. Or paid good, I guess." She slips the revolver back into her jacket. "And- Thanks for pulling me out of there. Those pods are more often used as coffins than not." Vae says.
The Voices Compel Him You throw apart the small building, looking for something, anything related to cheese. After making one hell of a mess, your search turns up nothing but a couple of memories. You think it would be odd to find any edible cheese two years after they stopped making that stuff on this planet. The second feels like it's not your own, but perhaps something left in your head by someone else. A shimmering vision of smokestacks, a narrow alley, a iron-grey sky, and a warehouse door. You can barely make out the letters above the door, but you think it spells out "OSMAN". The vision ends. You remember that warehouse... It's located near the edge of the industrial district, about twenty blocks from this apartment. The walk would mean you made it there after dark, but if you ran...

The Rescue Team Everyone You trudge through the city, Two-Paw whizzing and wirring behind you. The mecha seems a little on edge, and it's almost becoming evening. As you march on, the architecture of the city goes from tall, obelisks of office buildings to shorter, maybe 10 story apartment complexes stacked on top of small shops. They all seem to be thoroughly destroyed or looted, sitting quiet and empty along the cracking road. The sky is turning yellowish as the sun begins to dip into the evening time.
You arrive at an intersection. To the WEST, a line of shops blocks the road, bringing it into a T shape. To your EAST, a narrow street continues to wind down into the dark alleyways. To the SOUTH, a wide avenue lined with overgrown trees and tall grass. To the NORTH, the apartment buildings and sandwich shops give way to the commercial district. Shops that once sold surfboards and smoothies now lay vacant and ruined.
Two-Paw makes a tik-tik-tik-tikking noise as it looks down the eastern road.
Perigrinium Your experience in animal training and handling tells you that that road might be a favorite hiding spot for more predatory creatures.
The Survivors The VIP Escort You three join up, and begin the journey back to the apartment complex. From your years spent on this planet, the lengthening shadows tell you that night will be coming in an hour or so.
Vae says "Gosh, now that you mention it, I'm practically starving." She puts a well manicured hand on her stomach. "Something about almost dying just really works up an appetite, you know?" She attempts a laugh.
The Beach Buddy You comb over the sandy beach, picking across bits of twisted hull metal and old seashells. The sea wind blows your clothes around a bit, and the light reflecting off the choppy water makes it look like one big kaleidoscope. You spend a few minutes walking up and down the beach, hoping the lapping waves wash something else up, someone else, but they give you nothing.
Just as you're about to leave, however, something else does wash up. Not a pod, but some kind of laser cannon. Maybe it came off the ship? It's state is completely inoperable, at least right now. The electronics look fried and there's probably seawater absolutely soaking its innards. Maybe someone with the right technical know-how could modify the weapon to be workable.
BROKEN LASER CANNON FOUND
You Do It For Him You've never run faster in your life.
The asphalt flies underneath your feet. The churches, the houses, the places that people once used to live safe, sane lives are just blurs to you. Your lungs are burning, your eyes are watering, your legs ache with the effort, but you still run. It's as if you're filled with some kind of ancient, cheese powered energy, propelling you to your God's temple.
You notice the housing change from redeemable apartments to an industrial shanty town, tin shacks and plywood doors now lay in pieces in your path. You would've had some difficulty getting past here, but luck smiles upon you and you actually find a shortcut, getting through even faster.
You arrive.
The warehouse of your vision stands before you, not but a block away. Your lungs are screaming for rest, your throat is burning as if you swallowed a furnace, but you made it. You can feel him approving of you. The word above the warehouse door echo through your mind, "OSMAN". There it is, above this very door. In faded yellow paint. The warehouse door, a great steel garage door, is even left slightly ajar, and your nose is filled with the aroma of fresh cheese.

"I'm having some trouble reading Two-Paw's thought patterns. I can confirm that whatever is down that alley, the mecha does not like. The readings are very similar to the emotion of fear, but Two-Paw's AI is incapable of emotion. Recommend a software update upon return to the headquarters." A cold wind blows bits of plastic and leaves around your legs. You hear a faint noise coming down the street. It sounds like something breathing, heavily.
Perigrinium Your helmet's HUD display shows an overhead map. In the center, two blue dots ping next to a big yellow dot. Up at the top, an arrow pointing north sits, with the number 257 METERS beneath it. You gauge that to be about three more blocks. The side road sits quietly across the avenue.
The Survivors Aaron You think back to the days you had electricity. When food didn't spoil and you had air conditioning, television, the Net and everything else that made life so easy. That went out not but a week or so after the quarantine was called. Fuel for the generators ran out a month after that. You've been living a quiet existence since then, but at least you don't have to worry about leaving your fork in the toaster anymore.
Walk and Talk, The Team Advances Vae's eyes roll at the mention. "Eugh, don't remind me. I thought I left the stuff behind in college. I had Spaghetti-O's every day back then, and I can't stand them now."
The conversation continues as the three of you walk past the same old ruined houses you've seen a thousand times over your years on the island. Your voices echo softly across brick walls and stone edifices, and the sound is almost like there are other people out taking walks, talking with friends, like the world never ended.
You arrive at the apartment. It's just how you left it, with boarded windows and fortified door and a few spikes lying around for good measure. There is a mutant lying outside one of the windows. It's head is missing and the body is starting to attract flies. Vae makes a disgusted face, but doesn't say anything. The fire escape that you and the other survivors use to get around the complex has its ladder left in the down position. Normally, it'd be up, to keep the mutants from climbing to the third story apartment you call home.
A Lonely Beach Gets Lonlier You heft the laser cannon off the sand and into your arms. Seawater spills out of the barrel as you do, and you get some on your shoes. One more look over the beach confirms that there's nothing left unless you're interested in scraps of metal. You start walking back, sun beginning to set in the east. Getting onto the main road, you see the three others far at the other end turning onto your apartment's street. You pick up your pace, and are walking up behind them to see them standing outside of the apartment.
The Altar of Cheese Approaches You calm yourself, expelling all unholy and uncheesy thoughts from your mind. You feel his presence. It is strong, here. Soon, you will find the secrets of all cheese. You throw open the gate, and enter the warehouse.
The first thing you notice is that the place is absolutely enormous. It's as if all the buildings that would normally occupy a city block had been put together to form one big storage space, and you were just at its edge. You can barely see past the rows and rows of shelves, each shelf covered in old, rotting cardboard boxes. To your left, the row of shelves continues on into the shadows. To your right, it is the same, save for an isle running through the center of the warehouse. A faint light filters down from the isle. The scent of cheese has dissipated, but the feeling you get in the back of your mind is stronger than ever.

Aaron sees the down ladder, he grumbles. "Uh, Vae, just go through the doors. I'm going to fix the dammed ladder.", He heads to the fire escape and climbs up the ladder and pulls it up. He heads to the lobby, He opens the doors and welcomes Vae, "So, Welcome to out humble abode! It's not much, but it's what we call home. Now, lets get you some food." Aaron motions for Vae to follow, he heads to where the group stores the food, looking over stocks of what there is.

The Rescue Team An Opportunity Missed, Or A Disaster Averted? Two-Paw emits an electronic warbling sound and turns away from the alley, marching down the wide, well lit avenue towards your mission's target.
Marcus The noises that appeared to be coming from the alley turn to silence, and you wonder if you heard anything in the first place.
You continue down the avenue, passing by old surf shops and multiple pileups of cars. You are forced to the sidewalk as the center of the street becomes filled with burnt out hulls of cars. Some old blood is splattered on the insides and outsides of the husks, and puncture holes the size of a telephone pole perforate many of them. Concrete slabs jut out of the traffic jam at odd angles, and a few sun bleached skeletons lie in the light on top of them. Many of the bones look human-like, but horns and growths apparently grown from the skeleton itself make you think differently.
After a few blocks of this, you reach the beach. The sound of lapping waves and the setting sun make for an almost picaresque scene before you. The sun refracting off the water paints beautiful lights onto the buildings behind you, that change and wiggle with the water. The beach in front of you is rather bare, and you cannot see any wreckage out at sea, but a little ways down you see some debris on the beach.
The Survivors The Apartment Vae looks around the lobby, unimpressed. "You uh, you live here? Seriously?" She doesn't seem to like the whole post-apocalyptic design theme that was more than present in the apartment. The apartment lobby is just how you left it, guard's chair right next to the reception counter, boarded windows barricaded and without any new damage. The old tile on the floor has seen better days, but otherwise it's holding together pretty well.
Aaron You head upstairs to check on the food supplies, which you keep in the apartment's kitchen in neat, well organized stacks. You enter the apartment, opening and closing the front door behind you. The familiar sight of the apartment's living room greets you, but you notice something. The couch has been moved at a haphazard angle, the coffee table is on its side, and the television stand is now a foot away from the wall. The books that were once stacked on the bookshelf are now littered across the floor, lying among some torn out pages and loose papers. Looking around even further, you see the window's been left open, with direct access to the fire escape. Waylon's MAS Rifle is lying on the floor underneath the window. Somebody, or something, has been through here.
You press further, and check the kitchen. It's a mess. Cans, boxes, tins, all thrown across the room or left in haphazard piles. All the cabinets are thrown open, and empty, their contents apparently spilled onto the kitchen floor. From your first rough estimate, nothing looks to be missing, but somebody's definitely been through here.
On the bright side, you see that anything that could possibly be canned is somewhere in that pile. You'd just have to do some sifting.
Its coming its coming its coming its coming You walk to your right, and look down the isle. The light is shining into your eyes, you can't see what's at the center of the warehouse, but you know, you can feel it, you can almost taste it, the thing you've been looking for all this time is finally here and it's perfectly ripe for your taking!
You walk into the light.
You bump into something. The floodlight that was shining down the isle teeters on its legs and falls to the ground. It's bright bulbs shatter with the fall and you can see again.
At the center of the warehouse sits a solitary metal desk, covered in papers, pens, and decorated by a single desk lamp. A fluorescent light overhead buzzes softly, and the sound is further reinforced by the concrete floor and seemingly infinite number of isles extending into the dark warehouse. An old office chair spins slowly next to the desk, and you notice a bunch of power cords, likely supplying power to the two lamps, go through an inch thick seam in the floor that runs in a square shape around the entire setup.
Unfortunately, there is no cheese here. Even more unfortunately, a person dressed in a huge labcoat, thick rubber gloves, and an imposing military gas mask is pointing a gun at you from across the desk. They aren't doing anything but standing there, both hands on the gun, and the gun's barrel quivering in the air. The silence is palpable, and in this silence you remember one critical error in your cheese fueled journey: You never picked up your rifle.

Aaron looks confused for a moment before grabbing a box of crackers and sifting through the pile he grabs a can of Sphagetti O's for himself. He grabs a can of veggie soup for Vae. He grabs two bowls and spoons, he fills one with spaghetti O's and the other with soup. He goes down to where Vae is, "Gotcha some soup, cold though. You could go hang out in one of the apartments if you want. I'll go to the roof to eat."

Use the power of cheese to beat the shit out of this fucker.
Time to put my impeccable talking skills, bestowed upon me by the GCM himself, to the test!
Waylon puts his hands in the air in a slightly slow manner, to show that he means no harm.
"First time aiming a gun at a person? The gun shakes to much in your grasp for it not to be. Hell, if you fire, you'll likely miss from how fucking jittery you are. Assuming the safety is off, which I'm guessing it isn't. Or maybe it's because of how nervous you are. Probably don't even have the guts to shoot me. Go ahead, what are you waiting for? You could just shoot me right now, and any potential trouble I may bring will forever be gone, and you could continue to do whatever the fuck you're doing, - research of some sort, I'm guessing, - in peace. So go ahead. Shoot. I dare you."
Assuming he doesn't kill me right on the spot, Waylon will continue after a few-second pause to show his inner insanity.
"I come here on a quest bestowed upon me by the one true god and creator, the Giant Cheese Monster himself, to bring peace, tranquility, and cheese wherever I can. Now, if you could just put the gun down..."

Seeing as Aaron had their guest situated, Holland would return to his guard seat with lazor cannon in hand. He may as well check the damages on it while he sits there and does his usual guard thing.

Post by: Wheel-Son on March 24, 2015, 09:15:00 am
After Arron finishes his Spehgetti O's he heads down to the wrecked kitchen, snacking on his crackers. He reorginizes the books and the food back into the respective containers. Waylon's rifle catches his eye, "Hey Holland! Did you see Waylon by any chance!? His rifle's here but he's gone!" He puts the rifle on the counter. He puts the couch back where it should be, the tv-stand, and the table where those should be as well. After finishing up cleaning the mess, he kinda just chills out in the apartment.

The Rescue Team The Beach Two-Paw's exhaust deflectors suddenly perk up, and the pulse jets activate *SHCOOOOOOM* as it sprints down from where you are to the bits of wreckage, covering the distance in a blindingly fast pace. You're covered in a fine layer of sand kicked up by the eager mecha, and follow it, albiet at a slower pace.
You reach the debris. Twisted bits of hull dot the sand, surrounding one enormous emergency cryo pod. You recognize your employer's logo printed in lines along the pod's exterior. The pod's glass door lies half submerged in the ocean a few feet away, and it is quite apparent that the pod does not contain your sought-after VIP.
Two-Paw beeps and boops and then jumps into the ocean, suddenly sprouting a scintillating set of sensors into the salty sea. After a few seconds, your AI beeps over the radio. "It is apparent that the ship has crashed a few miles off shore. The only confirmed life sign found is that of the open cryogenic storage pod. Recommend locating the VIP that had occupied the pod."
Looking around, you notice a curious set of prints, half buried by Two-Paw's sudden arrival at the site. It looks as though maybe three or four people were doing a lot of walking around the area. Three sets of footprints approach the pod, and four sets leave it. There is also a set of a four-legged animal prints, maybe belonging to a dog or a very large cat. The prints leave towards the grass and onto the street, and no long appear once they reach the asphalt. They generally point in the direction of the large residential district.
The Survivors Aaron Vae accepts the soup, face souring at the sight of the Spaghetti-Os. She does not say anything further, however, and sits down on the lobby counter to begin eating. By the speed at which she's going you could gauge she was pretty hungry, but she's slowing herself as to not make a mess.
You ascend back to the apartment, and tidy the place up. After a few minutes the place actually looks like it used to, and you reward yourself by flopping down on the old couch. The quiet of the dead city outside is only broken by the gentle shifting of the curtains as they blow back and forth by the gentle evening breeze.
Holland You sit down in your guard's chair as Vae receives her soup, and sits a ways away on the counter. The cannon appears to be structurally sound, and taking a closer look, you try and pry open one of the side panels. After some tugging, you manage to get it open, but at the same moment, you lose your grip on the weapon and it falls to the floor! You hear something shatter, and bits of shiny glass fall out of the access panel. Vae jumps a little and nearly drops her soup when the gun hits the floor.
A Lost Sheep The person slowly, shakily, lowers the gun. Once it's pointing at the floor, they stumble over to the office chair and fall into it. They lie there, like a ragdoll, for a couple moments before you hear them start... Laughing? The noise starts soft, and grows to a snicker and then to a uneven, stuttering chuckle as the person just laughs and laughs from the office chair. "Heheh... Heh- Hah! Heh... Hoo, hee heheheh..." and then, softly, "It can talk..."

"Gah, damn it. Looks like this thing is probably beyond repair now." He said as he sat the remains on the front lobby desk. He then looks over at the gal who nearly spilled her soup and said, "Sorry about that."
He would then grab his hammer and do his usual maintenance on it.

"Um... Yeah, "it" can."
"Have you heard of our creator, the Giant Cheese Monster? His son, Cheesus* Christ our grate lord,* lord died for our sins." Waylon inquires, trying to convert the crazy gas-mask guy to Cheeserism.
*These jokes are cheesy, I know, but that doesn't make them any less funny.

Aaron gets up from his cat-nap, he grabs Waylon's rifle and heads to the roof. He uses the scope to check for movement, Human or otherwise. He makes sure the rifle's safety is on, don't want a misfire sending half the dammed city after them, if it's on he switches it off.

The Rescue Team The Wonders of Technology Push Us Further Two-Paw follows the footprints left in the soft sand all the way up to the asphalt, where even its advanced cameras could not track the indentions made by their feet. For a human, this would mean to start guessing, but for a twelve foot tall mech chock full of warp-age sensors, it just meant switching gears. The mech stops for a second at the road, and then continues on with renewed interest. You proceed down the street, and turn a corner. Two-Paw stops. Looking down the street, it is bordered by a number of ruined old apartments and condos, but further down you see a well-fortified apartment building. The viewfinder on your HUD says it's about four blocks away. Looking closely, you see no movement, and Two-Paw makes no noise. It just watches.
The Survivors The Lobby Vae looks, shrugs, and continues eating. Before you can get started calibrating the reaction wheels in your hammer, she makes a double take and a certain spark lights up in her eyes. She says "Is that a Mark Three Phoenix Cannon?"
The Rooftop You grab the rifle and ascend the stairs to the roof. You feel particularly stealthy. Checking all sides of the apartment, you see nothing new to the north, south, or west, but to your east you see a very curious sight indeed. A trio, two heavily armored soldier types carrying two very large guns, and one mech the size of a car and the shape of a box are marching north on an avenue about four blocks away. They stop once they've reached your apartment's street.
The Warehouse he picks up his gun again and blasts your head away He makes a sound, something between a laugh and a whimper, when you tell your puns. "Of course! He's making cheese puns. Punny. Heheh- Hoo." Their voice sounds fairly masculine. You'd guess he's somewhere His laughter gets quieter, and he soon falls silent. After a moment of this, he adjusts his posture in the chair, sitting up tall and fixing his lab coat lapel, he says "Who are you? What are you doing here? No cheese jokes, now. I want answers."

Waylon pauses for a few second, finding just how he should word his story.
"I am Waylon the Cheese Priest. I am on a mission given the Giant Cheese Monster with two goals in mind: Bring peace and tranquility to this demon-ridden land, and sacrifice cheese and the flesh of all firstborn to the Giant Cheese Monster so he can come back to full strength, which he has not had since the demons attacked."
"You probably know these demons to their more common name: "Bloodthirsty mutant bastards."
"Once these things have been accomplished, the Giant Cheese Monster will have the power to bring the galaxy, or even universe into a state of knowledge, peace, and happiness."
"These demons are led by a vile creature known as the Flying Spaghetti Monster. As such, all tentacle-y creatures are extremely demonic, and one is not allowed to eat noodly foods. But I've gotten off-topic with too much information, so I'll stop ranting now, as you probably don't want to have to listen to my inane ravings."

Post by: Hibou on March 28, 2015, 11:39:24 pm
The Survivors The Lobby Vae looks over, and says "Wow. Those guys work fast." with an air of impression. She sets her empty bowl on the counter and hops down, walking across the room to the door. She peeks through one of the cracks in the barricade and elaborates. "For Twin Suns, business is always priority. To them, people are assets and assets are credits. Even if it meant violating a galactically recognized quarantine, TSS would still try and avoid losing money." She turns back to Aaron. "Which means that their customer service sucks, but at least I get to go home."
The Warehouse The man mutters "And I thought I was the crazy one." His head turns to the left, and his voice gets less gravelly. "You are." It snaps to the right. "Shut up." He shakes his head, and appears to regain his composure. "You said something about peace? I might be able to help you with that." He pushes off the floor with his feet and his chair slides over to the desk. With his right hand, he reaches over the desk and presses a button on the base of the lamp. Suddenly, the floor shudders, and then the section of concrete you and the man are standing on starts to descend into the ground.
You are faced with a choice: Jump away, and remain on the surface. Stay with your people, in the world you know where night is soon to come. Or remain, and descend into the unknown with a madman and his revolver.
The Rescue Team The Intersection You two move from cover to cover, vaulting over ruined cars and mailboxes, all while staying more or less completely hidden. Two-Paw clunks across the street, squeezing into alleys and trying to stay hidden, but that kind of thing is hard for a giant walking machine.
By and by, you soon reach the street corner as night begins to fall upon the dead city. You feel a cool breeze flow past your bodies, and the city is silent. You cannot see any movement inside the apartment, and you are currently hidden behind a burnt out shell of a sedan across the intersection from the stout apartment complex.

The Rescue Team Periscope You let loose a few shots from your rifle, but since you're too close to use the scope effectively, and you're moving, your shots bounce harmlessly off the brick walls of the apartment. Your rifle's discharge sounds echo throughout the empty neighborhood, and you can hear some shouting from inside the building.
Marcus You go wide, around the outside of the car and across to the back of the apartment. The entire first floor seems rather well barricaded, and you get the feeling whoever's in there took extra care to make the front door the only entrance. You do notice a fire escape, however the ladder has been left in the up position and it's a bit too high to grab from the ground. Your partner's shots creates sudden bursts of light across your position, and the shadows they cast are warped and inhuman. You hear people talking inside the apartment, but can't quite make out their words.
Two-Paw clunk-cachunks up behind the car and deploys its weapon. It makes an electric hum as it charges the cannon.
The Survivors The Lobby You hear three shots from some laser weapon go off on the street, and the footsteps of something metallic moving towards the building. Vae's on the floor, revolver drawn. She's sitting up against one of the barricades, ear pressed to the wall. "If you think I'm going out there, you've got another thing coming! Did you see how fast those guys shot at you? Who knows if they'll shoot at me or not. I'm not leaving cover until we reach some kind of a ceasefire."
Aaron You slide the gun across the floor, and peek over one of the barricades to get a look at the armor. You can't quite tell what he's wearing in the dim light, but you gather it's a full suit of armor. Usually the weakest points are at the points of movement, like the elbows, knees, shoulders, and the neck. Unfortunately, those places are going to be a lot harder to hit, but with a little luck you could do some damage.
The Darkness The elevator hums around you. The fading light from above turns to darkness as a false panel slides in place above your heads, sealing your fate. The man sits in his chair, silently. You can't see what he's doing, or where he is, but you can hear him. His gas mask's filters belie his labored breathing. It's shallow, and uneven, the breathing of someone sick, or feverish. Perhaps he is in need of some faith.

The Rescue Team Marcus You run'n jump against the wall, barely managing to lift yourself and your heavy armor high enough to grab the ladder, but your gauntlet's iron grip kicks in just as your fingers brush the bottom rung. With a resounding KSSSHR-KUNK the ladder slides down and allows passage.
Perirgrinius You deploy your energy shield, and fall back. Once you're about half a block away from the building, you let off a few shots with your rifle. The first couple are completely absorbed by the sturdy barricade, but one manages to punch through some thin paneling near the top.
Neither of you see any movement inside the apartment, and the city around you is dead silent.
The Survivors Aaron You employ your freerunning abilities, and hop gracefully over the counter and up the stairs, but just as you're about to reach the top of the first flight of stairs, a laser beam catches you in your left calf! The burning sears your nerves! The sudden pain makes you stumble and... Faceplant into the stairs. You can still move your leg, but it sure as hell hurts, and you've bruised your nose with the fall.
Holland You separate the remote detonator from the mining charge pack, keeping it with you. You then arm the bomb and place it neatly next to the door frame, ripe and ready to blast anything that comes through the doorway.
The Laboratory The elevator finally comes to a stop many feet below the warehouse, revealing a large reception room covered in pure, scientific looking tile. The platform's receiving end is surrounded with wire gates on all four sides and placed in the middle of the room. A number of desks and broken computers line the walls. They're all empty and somewhat corroded from likely years of inactivity.
Your host sighs a muffled sigh, and gets up from the chair. "If your god is what you say he is, then maybe we aren't lost after all." He opens the waist high gate, and steps off the platform. He extends an arm, gesturing to a long hallway lit with fluorescent bulbs that hum gently. "I have something I want to show you." is all he says.

Aaron puts away the sword to use the glock with both hands. He aims for the neck and fires at the nearest Mook, if that doesn't work he aims and fires at the knee-caps. After when he finishes firing he puts away the glock and takes out his sword. He jumps off the fire escape and, hopefully, on the mook.

((As a side note, very little of your actions are decided by me arbitrarily, but by some dice I've been rolling behind the scenes. I'm gonna start posting numbers in the update so you can all enjoy these insane rolls I'm getting.))
The Survivors Aaron (http://i.imgur.com/5NkUuOG.png) You limp up the stairs, and reach the second floor. From there, you hobble over to the nearest window and peer into the night. You see shapes moving in the dark, out in the distance. More closely, however, you see someone climbing up the fire escape. They're clad in some very high-tech looking armor and they've got a similarly high-tech laser rifle in their possession. They're a few feet below you, but your banging around inside has alerted you of your coming, and you lack the element of surprise.
You gather your wits and take aim at the soldier below you. Using a d10... DODGE (0) [Critical failure!] vs HIT (7). Hit! DAMAGE (9) [Critical hit!]. Oh god.
Your 9mm bullet flies from the barrel, and you perfectly hit the solder right between his leg plate and his knee protector. The bullet blows through the back of his leg, and blood gushes from the hole.
You draw your sword, feeling its familiar weight in your hand. Flicking it open with ease, you gather your wits and leap out the window. DODGE (2) vs HIT (0) [Critical failure!] Miss! You fly past the mercenary and his fire escape, and instead get to watch two stories of apartment fly past you. You land -hard- on the sidewalk. Your left shoulder is twisted from its socket, and your vision spins. Your sword clatters from your grasp onto the concrete.
Holland You strap your hammer to your back, and take careful aim with your borrowed automatic hot lead dispenser from the floor. You've got this door on lock.
The Laboratory Your curiosity guides you, and you follow the suited man down many winding hallways, and while this maze might've confused a lesser man, your cheese-sharpened mind keeps expert track of the winding passageways and you know exactly how to get out even without your guide.
The man stops at an unmarked, windowless door in a particularly well-lit hallway, and pushes it open. You both enter. The scene before you is something strange, as if ripped straight from the ramblings of a madman. The room looks like it was once a normal, large laboratory. One large counter runs the perimeter of the room and different and arcane apparatuses stand haphazardly in the middle of the room. However, this room has been... Altered. The floor is nearly covered in a fine spread of dried blood and rotting flesh, and it reeks of death. The apparatuses in the room appear to be dissection tables. Many still have mutated corpses lying cut open on the benches, entrails pouring out onto the floor. Some of them are hanging on meat spikes, dangling from the ceiling. Along the walls, papers and papers featuring pencil drawings of complex formulas and chemical diagrams are taped and hung. The counters that aren't littered with organs have some glass beakers and flasks filled with yellow, viscous liquid.
Your dear, sweet, beloved host leans over and whispers into your ear, "I only need a vial of your blood. Then this can all be over."
The Rescue Team Marcus As you get the ladder down and begin ascending, one of the survivalists appears in a second story window above you! He fires a shot from his pistol, and it explodes through your right knee! The world turns red, and you start to have tunnel vision as you lose your grip on the ladder and fall to the dirt, blood gushing from your right leg.
Pegrigrinius You send your order to Two-Paw, and it bwoop-bwoops in reply. The cannon winds up its shot, and fires! The door is completely reduced to sawdust! STUN (8) There is a shape behind the door of a man lying prone, and you're certain you've just suppressed the HELL out of that guy.
Mini Survivor Update Holland The door in front of you explodes into splinters! You're unhurt, but you can't see a damn thing with all the dust in the air.
((Whoopsie daisies.))

Aarons eyes widen as he whips out his Glock in his good hand and fire five quick shots at the Mook hopefully they at least hit the armor and make him flinch, then he dives out of the way and puts the glock away and grabs his sword. He uses the sword as a crutch. He hobbles to where the Military Ass face is and tries to kick the revolver out of his and he tries to use the sword to pierce his neck.

The Fray Aaron and Marcus Bracing yourself against the pain, you draw your pistol. The night blankets its silence upon these two warriors, and the stars in the alien sky blink in and out of existence. Your eyes lock for a moment, and each sees in the other an entirely different world, filled with different conflicts, different lives, different loves, but one similarity. A word. Human.
DODGE (Good luck) v HIT (2) Grazing hit. DAMAGE (2) The 9mm Glock bullet bursts out of its gun, tearing the silence in two, and whizzes across the gap. It catches the armor of the soldier, and tears off a chunk of armor with it, jerking Marcus's body a bit.
Marcus rolls over twice, and grabs at Aaron's neck... GRAB (7) + SKILL (3) = (10) and latches on firmly! The gauntlet closes in on the man's throat, mechanical hissing squeezing the life out of the survivalist.
Pegrigrinium You lay your crosshairs in the general direction of the figure and fire another three shots. DODGE (Suppressed) vs. HIT (7) Good hit. HIT (4) Grazing hit. HIT (1) Miss. DAMAGE (2), DAMAGE (6), DAMAGE (None) You see one hit the man square, another barely hit him, and the third fizzles against the wall behind him.
Holland Three lasers fly through the sawdust! You're hit in the right thigh! The laser sears your muscle! The second sizzles past your ear, charring a small bit of flesh. The third you don't feel at all. The dust begins to clear, and you see the sniper at a distance. Luckily for you, your MAS Rifle happened to have a sniper scope attached. You remind yourself to thank Waylon if he ever shows up.
The Laboratory The man rubs his hands together. "Delightful." He picks up an enormous syringe from one of the tables, nonchalantly wipes off some residue from the needle, and says "This might sting a little." He inserts it slowly into your arm, and draws out some of the dark red blood. He removes the needle. "I've been watching you, survivor." He says, moving over to one of the centrifuges. "I see how you do not fear the virus that has warped these demons." He puts a few drops of blood into the machine, and turns it on. "It intrigued me how you could walk so fearlessly among the infected, without care of being infected yourself. Without the knowledge of a cure." The machine rattles and shakes. "And then I knew it, you were immune! It was so simple, and your blood was all I needed to finish my concoction." The machine stops, and he removes the vial. "My last contribution to this twisted world." He pours the contents of the vial into one of the flasks. The yellow liquid turns first green, then cyan, and then a completely clear color. "A cure." he says, almost breathless.
He gingerly picks up the flask, holding it up to the dim lights in the room, scrutinizing it through his mask. Then he picks up a rubber stopper and seals the flask. He walks over to you. "Take this, acolyte, and free this world of its devastation." With a gloved hand, he extends the bottle to you.

The Fray Marcus and Aaron Aaron feels the metal squeeze around his neck, his head feels swollen, his ears are filled with the sound of his fading heartbeat, and blood rushes to his eyes, turning his vision red.
GRIP (0) [Gotta get a grip...] vs. WILLPOWER (6) + NEAR DEATH (2) -> Success!
Aaron fights through the pain and the sheer crushing power of the grip, and manages to lift his pistol and put it against the visor of his assailant. Looking down the barrel, at death itself, Marcus picks up Aaron by the neck and slams him back into the ground.
SLAM (9) [Welcome to the Space Jam] vs. REFLEX (5) -> Not fast enough, Aaron.
Aaron's head hits the ground, and his arm is jarred from the force. The pistol goes off, and the bullet clips the edge of the helmet, tearing off the antenna attached! Marcus's helmet display flickers and goes dark, and it's suddenly a lot hotter in the suit of armor.
You both feel a presence, looming over you. A large shadow casts itself across the two wounded warriors. The caster? A huge, bipedal mecha the shape of a toaster. It has a gun protruding from the front, and judging by the crackling electricity near the end of the barrel, it's ready to fire. Just as it's about to let the charge loose, however, a streak of black fur the size of a short bus flies out of nowhere and tackles the mecha! They both slam into the side of the apartment, sending mortar and brick everywhere. The mecha groans in metallic pain. It's assailant gets down, and back onto all fours. It turns to the two on the sidewalk.
It's a huge, dog-like mutant the size of a truck. It's black, matted fur glistens in the moonlight. Its eyes glint in the night, shining a white light back at the two. It's hideous maw is open wide, dripping with infectious saliva. It's sharp teeth, each the size of a man's finger, shimmer and shine. It looks hungry.
Perigrinius and Holland The merc lines up another volley of shots, and fires off three rather weak bursts. DODGE (7) + SMALL TARGET (Prone) (1) vs. HIT (2) Miss. DODGE (1) + SMALL TARGET (Prone) (1) vs. HIT (2) Grazing hit. DODGE (5) + SMALL TARGET (Prone) (1) vs. HIT (6) Coin flip! In favor of attacker. Grazing hit. Holland's instincts kick in, and he tries to avoid the incoming shots. The first one flies wide, but the second grazes his helmet and the third nails him in the shoulder. The armor barely manages to stop the laser, and the left shoulder feels uncomfortably hot.
Holland gets back into position and returns fire. Three BULLETS leave the ASSAULT RIFLE because it shoots BULLETS. Such is the way of Moscow Assault Solutions. Lasers just aren't very Kalashnikov, eh comrade?
DODGE (5) - SHIELD DEPLOYED (2) + COVER (1) vs. HIT (6) - PROFICIENCY (1) -> Hit! DODGE (8) - SHIELD DEPLOYED (2) + COVER (1) vs. HIT (4) - PROFICIENCY (1) -> Miss. DODGE (7) - SHIELD DEPLOYED (2) + COVER (1) vs. HIT (3) - PROFICIENCY (1) -> Miss.
The rifle bullets fly, and Perigrinus tries his best to get out of the way, but even with the shield deployed the first bullet carried enough momentum to phase through the shield and collide with his chest. The bullet embeds itself into the armor of the soldier, and throws him off his feet with the force. The other two fly harmlessly above the shooter.
Perigrinius Two-Paw follows your command, walking around to the side of the apartment to check on Marcus. Just as it does, however, it's suddenly attacked by a huge shadowy figure! It slams into the brick wall of the apartment, and appears to go limp. Hal crackles in over the radio. "Damage detected within unit Two-Paw. Emergency shutdown detected. Engaging sudden team member injury protocols. Activating ship propulsion systems. Will fly towards your location, and maintain a holding pattern immediately above your position. Estimated time of arrival: Five minutes. Please refrain from suffering any causalities. It will be deducted from your pay."
Holland You hear something slam into the side of the building, and the wall next to you gains a huge dent. Old drywall cracks and peels from the ceiling, falling to the floor like ashes. Vae lets out a yelp, and scoots further away from the doorway. She's now on the opposite side of the lobby relative to the dented wall, sitting in the corner with her revolver in a white-knuckled grip.
The Laboratory The man's voice turns a bit more understanding, more level, and it sounds quite a bit older. "I have a solution for that, as well. It is just across the hall." He leads through the door and gestures to an identical door just across the empty hallway. He strolls towards it and throws it open, revealing a similar laboratory, but this one is much cleaner and looks like it hasn't been used in years. "My frie- The other researchers used to work in here. Very little of what is in here works, but there are a couple things that are still kicking." A small refridgerator sits on one of the counters, humming quietly. On top of it, is a rather mundane looking assault rifle with some odd looking ventilation holes. He grabs it, and holds it in his hand. "A recoil-less assault rifle. Quite interesting, yes? Instead of mere metal slugs, this fires miniature missiles that are propelled by a rocket engine and explode on contact. Very good against the unarmored. Henry called it the Zion-8." He extends the rifle towards you.

Marcus grunts with rage as he tears his mask off and stares the beast down. He draws his revolver, unloafing a shot into Aarons back to make him scream, he would then back away slowly, leaving the beast to its dinner.

The Sidewalk Marcus disengages his death grip on Aaron's neck, and laboriously gets up on his one good leg. He limps back a bit while Aaron sucks on air and raises his pistol to take the shot. DODGE (2) + NEAR DEATH (2) vs. HIT (4) -> Coin flip! Heads. Grazing hit. The .50 cal anti-personnel round flies from the barrel of the gun like a bat out of hell, and clips the right of Aaron's rib cage. The bullet manages to ricochet off his fourth rib just as it breaks under the pressure. Half of the bone fragments spray out onto the sidewalk along with a hearty bout of purplish blood.
The beast smells it. Two bleeding men, one prone, the other limping.
COIN FLIP. Heads.
It gets down, low to the ground, and leaps through the air at Marcus!
BLAM. BLAM. BLAM. BLAM.
[Insert a shit ton of rolling here]
Miss. Miss. Hit. CRITICAL.
Marcus Time begins to slow down. You can see the hammer moving back and forth with each shot. Two shots whiz pas the creature with no consequence. The third, however, grabs it in the front shoulder and twists its trajectory. The blood lust in the mutant's eyes only increases as its mouth opens wiiiiiide to receive its evening meal.
Not today.
One last bullet, one last trigger pull, one last metal slug flies from the gun and rips through the damned creature's eye, blasting through its soft grey matter and out the other end. The life dissipates from its one remaining eye and its muscles slacken. It crashes to the ground and slides in the dust, coming to rest just before Marcus's feet.
Aaron You watch the beast go for your attacker, and feel a bullet absolutely shatter one of your left ribs. The pain is unbearable! Your vision starts to wither and warp, but you fight through the pain to grab your pistol. Shakily, you hold it back up at the man who has miraculously slain the beast in that short instant. Blood pools underneath its head. You take the shot. DODGE (4) vs. HIT (3) - PAIN (1) + NEAR DEATH (2) -> Coin flip! Tails. Miss. BAM! The bullet is fired, and ricochets off the apartment and off into the infinite night.
The Apartment Vae nods, and gets to her feet, staying in the corner as Holland leaves to go upstairs.
Holland Upstairs, Holland grabs his hammer and jumps out of the window like the maniac he is, falling towards the armored man. DODGE (3) - SNEAK ATTACK (1) vs. HIT (2) -> Coin flip! Miss. You fly though the air and swing you hammer, but you only manage to catch air. Your ankle would've been twisted, or worse, if it weren't for the giant furry mattress of a corpse lying on the ground. You roll onto the sidewalk, relatively unharmed.
Pegrigrinium You advance from your cover, running over to the doorless apartment. Inside, you find a somewhat middle aged woman dressed in a dirty pinstripe suit pointing a snub-nosed revolver at you. She looks rather shaken. Otherwise, the room is completely empty. However, out of the corner of your eye you spot a rather large brick of explosives strapped to the doorframe.
The Laboratory The man chuckles, softly. "I thought you might like it. There is one more gift I have for you, acolyte." He opens the refrigerator. "This one, I did not have planned, and it was by either coincidence or providence that I did not eat it yesterday." He pulls out an old, plastic sealed package of string cheese. "It isn't exactly consecrated, but it is all I have here."

The Fray
Perigrinium You watch as the VIP slowly, shakily puts the gun away and takes out a holographic ID badge. Pressing the button a holographic display pops out and she reveals she is Vae Rembrant, Junior Vice President of the-
*BOOM*
The mining charge next to you explodes! DODGE (Doubtful) vs. HIT (Guaranteed) -> Hit. DAMAGE (DEVASTATING) Your suit crumples against you, and the force of the expanding gas throws you across the room! You feel hot, and your breath is sucked out of your lungs. You collide with the heavy wooden counter, and your legs buckle and bend. You feel your right femur snap in two, and the pain racks your body and mind. Your momentum throws you over the counter and you manage to complete a half cartwheel before embedding yourself, upside down, into the plaster wall behind it. Your back is bruised, your leg is broken, and with that final hit your ribcage is torqued inward,and you feel one of your ribs pierce something vital inside you!
Time returns to normal. Blood dribbles from your lips, and starts to pool at the top of your helmet. You can't see through the smoke, your hearing is completely blocked out by a high-pitched ringing, and you feel your consciousness slipping away rapidly.
Outside Holland hits the trigger, and the front wall of the apartment explodes! Bits of plaster, rebar, glass, wood, and concrete spray out into the street and the sound tears through the quiet night, echoing a long distance into the city.
The apartment building begins to creak and rumble, and it starts tipping ever so slowly towards the street. The sound is joined by the distant rumble of a ship engine, and the silhouette of the Rescue Team's dropship comes into view over the buildings. And yet more, the sound of distant roars of infected echo back through the streets, along with the sound of innumerable footsteps sprinting through the dead city.
It won't be long, now.
Holland You charge the armored man with your hefty hammer, and swing it at him, but he raises his heavy gauntlet to block! BLOCK (8) vs. HIT (1) -> Blocked! The hammer *CLANG*s against the armored gauntlet, and the man is forced back in the dust a few inches, but he is unharmed. Seeing the oppurtunity, the mercenary swings his other fist at you! DODGE (1) vs. HIT (2) -> Glancing blow. The fist barely catches you across the chin, and aside from some minor bruising you're okay.
Aaron Beaten, brusied, and bleeding, you pull yourself together and get to your feet. Seeing the state of the apartment building, you use your best judgement and instead employ your sword as a makeshift crutch. It works well, and you stand.
The Laboratory You take the cheese, and upon touching the packaging you suddenly feel something... The Cheese God's presence! Yes! He is near, you can taste the cheddar already! His power, all that has been lost in this land, is now focused on this one morsel of cheesy goodness. You feel powerful already, and your muscles are filled with a newfound vigor!
Unfortunately, your stomach is also filled with a newfound dread. Your friendly scientist has drawn his pistol again, and is slowly, shakily lowering it towards your head. His voice has changed, this time more scratchy, if not younger, and markedly more sinister. "You are a fool..." he says. Then, the familiar voice returns, and his arm tries to lift itself, as if working against some invisible hand. "No! You can't do this!" The arm stops, pistol pointed away, stuck in an invisible tug of war. "You can't give our secret away! The cure! The weapon! These are our treasures, and ours alone!" "He is our only chance of spreading the cure! We can save this world!" "Argh! You damned fool! This world is lost! Kill him and let us return to solitude!" "N-No!" The scientist's voice is strained now, and the pistol is lowered to your head once again. It doesn't seem to be moving any time soon, and his finger tenses over the trigger.
You ready your rifle. The Cheese God highlights two targets for you: His head and the gun. Shoot the head, and be done. Free him from his torment, take the supplies and leave this place. Soot the gun, and destroy his weapon, but his unsound mind remains. Perhaps he can be healed of his ailment with much time, alas this is a world where time is not in large supply.
Of course, you could choose another target, say the lights, or the fridge, or just run for your life. The choice is yours.

The Fray Marcus You notice the gravity of the situation, and decide it's high time to just fuck off and get the hell to your partner before it's too late, even if you've still got a high-powered laser rifle strapped to your back. Using your crush gauntlet, you shove past Holland- RESIST(3) vs. SHOVE (9) [Critical hit!] -and send him to the ground. Before you hobble around the corner, however, the other assailant decides to unload his clip into your side.
[Rolling for 5 shots.]
Miss. Miss. Hit. Critical miss. Hit. Hit.
The bullets fly and two go wide, but the third gets you in the right shoulder, snapping off more armor and bruising it deep. The third goes so wide misses the side of the apartment completely. The last two, are good, solid hits. One bounces off your side armor, destroying it in the process, and the final gets trough the weakened metal and pierces your gut. The white hot pain now sears through almost your entire body, and you're bleeding fast.
RESIST (7) vs. PAIN (Hard 5) -> You just barley pull yourself together and hop around the corner. The apartment begins to loom- almost literally- over you while you take in the scene. The front wall of the apartment has been nearly completely destroyed. Your partner is currently stuck in the far wall, and there's a person sized hole in the counter. Vae is slumped against the right wall, unconscious and bleeding from her forehead.
Perigrinius You weakly try and draw your pistol, but before you can you see Marcus turn the corner. Then you fall out of the wall and onto the floor with a solid thunk that rattles your broken bones, sending searing pain up your leg and through your chest. RESIST (7) vs. PAIN (Hard 7) -> You are barely conscious from all this terrible pain.
Outside Aaron discharges one burst of bullets at his assailant and Holland gets shoved to the side before he gets the swing off. The sound of the advancing infected grows louder, and the ship doesn't look too far away. The building tips slightly further forward, and a few bricks dislodge themselves and fall onto the pavement.
The Warehouse You take the small moment of resistance your dear host gave you, and turn the rifle on the ceiling lights. BAM! BOOSH-kzzrt. The lights go out and the revolver fires, but the bullet misses by a hair in the darkness. You make a mad dash out of the room, and with your extensive knowledge of the maze like laboratory you sprint back to the elevator, and slam the button. You are now in the warehouse. It's night, and all is quiet. Yet, there is a tension in the air, and your survivor sense is tingling.

Since Aaron was pretty crippled at this point, Holland tells him as he gets back up "I'm gonna go get Vae, just try not to fall over."
With that, Holland will run into the apartment to see Marcus carrying the other dude and going up the stairs. He'll pull the pin and toss one of his grenades at them then retrieve Vae. Afterwards, he'll GTFO back to Aaron.

The building starts to crumble...
The front face of the building now leans nearly ten feet over the street, and the front wall can no longer support any weight. The walls start buckling completely and the ceiling is caving in. Those inside have about twenty to get to the back of the building (where they're less likely to get crushed) or to get the fuck out of there.
The Rescue Team Marcus and Perigrinius team up for the ultimate wounded warrior tag-team combo, and book it up the stairs, leaving Vae in the collapsing lobby.
Pegrigrinus's windpipe starts to fill with blood. He's having trouble breathing, and it's leaking out of the helmet's mask. With his last few moments of life left, he scans the area behind the duo as they ascend the stairs while Aaron tries to stealth his way into the building. SNEAK (9) [Ghostlike!] vs. SPOT (6) -> Not detected. The lobby looks clear, aside from the crumbling... Well, everything. The stairs are handily located along the back of the building, and you try to get as high as possible but soon the far wall tears in half and breaks the last of the steps on the third floor. From the doorway of the stair exit, you see the third floor's floor bend away from you and the walls tear and warp.
The Survivors Aaron manages to get in close, real close. As the two round the top of the stairs, he's hiding behind each corner. Quiet, deadly, and bleeding on the floor. You check your gun's magazine, and see that you've got five more shots left. Better make them count.
Holland runs in and reaches Vae. Judging by the fact that Aaron's already in the stairwell, you feel as though it'd be a waste of a grenade. You tend to the woman. She's out cold, and her face is pale where it's not covered in blood. A barely functioning holographic ID is gripped in her hand, hologram flickering. Holland manages to see her name, and learn of the company trying to kill him and his friends. Twin Suns Supply.
He pockets the ID and hoists her up into a fireman carry. He jumps out of the hole in the wall the explosives left, and runs to the alley again to set her down. She's breathing, at least.
The drop ship is now looming over the last few blocks, and the sound of the horde grows ever closer.

Marcus would ascend to the roof and bolt the door their shut.
Marcus lays Peri down and pops a hole in his lung with a precise knife cut. He'd put a tube in there to help him breathe.
Marcus takes the laser rifle and stares at the closed door, anything that tries to come through is going to take all of the shots in this fully loaded rifle.

((Holy shit my plans actually worked out!)) Aaron takes a step before deciding that it's better to leave them, he sneaks out and regroups with Holland. He's pissed about not having the time to finish them off, "I got five fuckin' shots left Holland, FIVE."*Sigh* "Let's just go, we need to find some bandages."

The horde has arrived!
The Rescue Team Marcus tries to ascend the stairs further, but building suddenly tears in two, taking the top two floors with it and most of the rest of the building, toppling into the street. It slams against the smaller buildings on the opposite side, crushing whatever was inside and collapsing in upon itself when it hits the street.
The resulting boom could be heard from miles, and the earth shakes with the force!
Marcus lays his partner on the third story landing, the highest remaining point of the building, now rubble. He cuts a hole into his lung through his ribcage, and black, goopy blood dribbles out of the wound. It is apparent his body has gone too long without air, and his lungs are already filled with blood. Perigrinius's weak heartbeat slows down further, and his breathing has nearly stopped. He has only a few moments left...
The Survivors Aaron doesn't manage to escape the building before it falls into the street, and the normal exit has been blocked by a mountain of brick and plywood. Luckily, the back wall of the apartment has also collapsed, so he drops through that and joins up with Holland.
The two travel down the small alleyway, and between a couple more condos. The street beyond is filled with a familiar noise, the noise of the infected. Better find somewhere to hide, quick.
There's a condo to your left and right. The stairs are convinetly located right next to you. The condos will provide enough shelter, if you manage to get in. There's a ruined bus across the street. The windows are busted, the door is missing, and it has no wheels, but if you get down low it could work. Alternatively, you could head back to the apartment and try to make amends with the guy with the laser gun and fight for your lives.
THE HORDE
Hundreds upon hundreds of mutants pour out of alleyways and streets, hissing and spitting and doing as mutants do. Their eyes cannot see very well in the darkness, but they only need the slightest sound to alert where their next meal would be. They are only a block away from the apartment building and advancing fast.

Marcus waves vigorously, firing once into the air for the drop ship.
He sighs. "It looks like rain my dear Fleance.

The drop ship is here!
Dust, paper, and bits of trash are thrown all around in an enormous twister of exhaust wind as the Rescue Team's dropship engages its VTOL engines and comes to a hover above the quickly becoming monster filled landscape. Its two front laser cannons swivel and search for anything worth shooting at. The AI's voice comes on over the loudspeaker. "Another causality has been detected. The mission general will not be pleased. Has the VIP been retrieved yet?"
The Rescue Team Perigrinius's mouth whispers two last words... "Fuck this." And with that, his life finally slips away, and he dies. Little droplets of rain patter down onto his warped armor, bleeding torso, his entire being, cleansed by the water of another world.
Marcus gets up, and takes the laser rifle from his partner's cold grip and turns it towards the dented wreck of Two-Paw, which had become dislodged in the collapse and low lays in the alley on its side. A few curious mutants circle around it. He pulls the trigger, and the laser pierces the armor of the mech. Suddenly, it shudders to life! It pulls its legs in, and then stands again, bent but not broken. It looks around itself and makes a sound of distaste looking at the mutants around it. It fires its cannon at one, splattering it on the pavement. Then, after but half a second, it fires again! And again! It's cannon, somehow, had become rapid fire! This could be interesting.
The Survivors You three shuffle into the condo, and promptly scurry into the attic. It's musty, and some rain droplets are leaking through the roof, but it muffles your sounds and you feel safer up here.
Aaron spies a dusty pair of crutches propped against a structural beam, standing among boxes of somebody's past life. Picture frames, fairy lights, and little wooden figurines fill these containers. Drops of a bygone era.
You two hear the roar of some engines outside, and you know that space ship you saw earlier is nearby.

Aaron puts his hands to his face, "I was going to KILL him... Fuck, what if we got off of here Holland? Would we go back to living simple lives?" He uses his sword to saw off the part that goes under the armpit, so it's more like a cane, not a clunky crutch.

Holland will hand Aaron the rifle as he sets Vae on the ground. He would pull his helmet off then proceed to do a quick medical check up on her to see if anything is broken. He may even sneak a quick kiss if she's still knocked out.
He'll then Whisper to Aaron, "I doubt that Aaron and I doubt that ship would even take us out of here anyways. It's probably programmed to only take people it knows is its crew. We can rest for 30 minutes then we should get moving again."

((If I said one of the main Survivor objectives was to escape the planet, you'll find that it's actually possible. The AI does value acquiring the VIP over all other instructions. That includes not breaking quarantine.))
Marcus You lock and load, walking down the stairs as raindrops and laser beams fall down around you. Mutant after mutant is splattered, zapped, burned, or delimbed before you as you walk through this valley of death. The clouds thicken above you, and the night turns black. The only illumination now are the laser beams and one giant spotlight attached to the dropship. Lightning flashes nearby, illuminating for a split second the angry, terrible faces of the dying mutants and the wet, bloodstained dirt. STEALTH (9) [Ghostlike!] vs. DETECTION (9) [Eagle eye!] -> Uh. Oh jeez. Coin flip! Successfully undetected. You manage to remain unnoticed, climbing the drainage pipe of the condo onto the roof. Gesturing to the clay tiling just above the attic, a laser cannon shot is delivered straight to it, punching a hole in the roof! You drop down, suit dripping and a storm raging outside. Inside, your VIP sits, unconscious behind the two survivalists you met in the alley. One is taking her pulse while the other has his shoulder in a tight grip and he -CRICK- pops it back into place.
The Survivors Holland checks up on Vae. She's breathing, and her pulse is strong and even. The bleeding has stopped and aside from her complete unresponsiveness she's okay. Aaron grips his shoulder and twists it back into place with a sickening crack. It's kind of sore, but okay.
Suddenly, the roof across the attic explodes! A man drops in, with a crack of lighting and a boom of thunder. All you can see is his silhouette, cast by a large spotlight, but you've seen enough to know it's the mercenary. In his hands is a large laser rifle that gives off a faint red glow. Despite him having been shot in the leg earlier, he stands tall and strong.
The Warehouse You find a large crate that can fit someone twice your size and take residence inside of it among thousands of packing peanuts and a single garden gnome. The sound of the ran outside lulls you to sleep as your close your eyes.

Marcus raises his rifle, and in a fit of extreme hatred opens fire with it. 3 for Holland, 2 for Aaron.
"You killed my friend."
"FLY FLEANCE, FLY FLY FLY!"

((This is stupid and suicidal I know)) Aaron dives for cover, "Hey asshole! Lets handle this like Gentlemen, old fashioned fisticuffs. No tech bullshit." he yells to marcus.

Having an asshole just jump in through the roof, Holland will take his own rifle and unload at Marcus. ALL DA BOOLETS!

Well fuck this. Aaron readies, aims, and fires his glock at Marcus's neck, if he misses, he fires at the knees.

The Fray
Marcus and Holland In your fury you point your gun at the two men and open fire. In that same instant, the man on crutches dives behind a box and the man checking on the woman spins around and introduces you to his little friend. REFLEX (5) vs. REFLEX (9) [Instantaneous!] The survivalist gets off the first shot, and you fire second. The shots collide with their targets at the same time, and neither of you are given time to dodge, react, flinch, or do anything except hold down the damn trigger and see who drops first. [FIVE SHOT VOLLEY] DAMAGE against Marcus (8, 2, 5, 0, 7) [THREE SHOT VOLLEY] DAMAGE against Holland (0, 8, 2) The bullets fly and Marcus is struck once in the chest by the high-power rifle round, piercing the breastplate and tearing into his soft flesh. The bullet clips something important before flying out the back. The second catches his shoulder, ripping off some armor but not damaging what was underneath. The third flies through his left arm, slicing only flesh on its way through. The bounces harmlessly off a particularly tough piece of breastplate, and the final enters just underneath the first, ripping through something vital, and does not exit. Marcus stumbles with the burst, and falls over. He does not get off the second pair of shots at Aaron. PAIN (Hard 5) vs. WILL (2) Marcus's eyelids grow heavy, and he lacks the strength to get up. His weak hands lose their grip on his rifle and he drops it.
Holland takes a similar beating. The first beam coasts between his arm and torso, burning a hole in his shirt sleeve but otherwise causing no harm. The second, however, hits him directly in the center of his chest, melting through the armor and carbonizing a hole in his sternum, nearly missing his heart. Blood gushes out of the wound, surging with each heartbeat, and it's obvious some major blood vessels were torn. The third blast sizzles through his shoulder plate, but other than making it uncomfortably hot, does not cause much damage. PAIN (Hard 7) vs. WILL (7) Holland barely manages to fight through the pain and stay on his feet. His gun suddenly feels terribly heavy in his hands, and it slips from his grip.
Aaron You dive for cover, and from behind the unmarked box you see your friend and room mate of two years pull his rifle and mortally wound the mercenary that had rudely broken into the attic. At the same time, however, he takes two shots that wound himself similarly. The difference was that Holland called upon the strength that kept him fighting all these years, and while he dropped the gun, he kept to his feet, at the ready.

Marcus snickers to himself, shaking his head as he lays on the ground dying. The pain is unbearable and he knows he is unlikely to escape this.
"AI, open fire on the two survivalists, rescue the VIP immediatly, tell the company they need a new Fixer. Do not reason with them, any attempts to reason with them will lead to their betrayal and the death of the VIP on board."

Knowing time is of the essence, Holland will attempt to strip off a piece of cloth from Vae's clothing and carefully dress his wound. He would then pick up the girl and head down the stairs quickly before the aircraft could pewpewpew.

Suddenly before Holland would make his way down the stairs, he had an idea on how everyone could make it off this rock. He turned back toward the dying Merc and said, "Merc, I know you work for Twin Suns Supply. You know that I know that the only way you're getting off this rock alive is with Vae and the only way I'm going to live is the medical supplies on that ship. You can take the VIP and in exchange you drop us off at the nearest station. Besides, you know what they do to the family of Mercs who fail, right?"

The End
Marcus You turn your head back up, to face the rain. It patters against your helmet and you issue your command. The AI says nothing, but a compartment opens up from the underbelly of the ship and a small rope ladder drops down to the rooftop. It plinks against the clay tiles, and you start to hear something banging against the front door downstairs.
Holland You try to tear a strip of cloth off of Vae's suit, but your arms lack the strength with the amount of blood you've already lost. You reach underneath your armor and ball up your shirt in front of your wound instead. It helps, but only just.
Aaron You run for the stairs, but looking down the step ladder to the condo, you can see the hungry faces of maybe ten or fifteen mutants pressed against the glass window, looking in from across the living room. One of them smashes the window, and they start to run in!
Escape is at hand!

"I- Is this really happening? Are we leaving!" Aaron says, he sorta hobbles to Marcus. "Um, listen sorry. Lemme help you up." He says, offering a hand.

Marcus accepts the hand nodding gratitude before climbing up the rope.
No more fighting.

Holland harble-garbles as he picks Vae back up and slowly starts making his way to the ladder. He was still weak and carrying another human being was going to be difficult.

The End
((Music, for your consideration.)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYMwwL4rCG8
The Escapees You all grab onto the ladder, and hold tight as it retracts back into the ship. You watch as the city you used to call home rushes away underneath you, seeing mutants swarm the mecha and the rubble of the apartment settle at a distance. It all feels so far away, now, as if it were another lifetime ago that you were sitting at home, enjoying life in its rhythms and simplicity. The grumble of the ship's rockets grows loud and then suddenly goes quiet as you're enveloped by the lower deck of the drop ship, and the hatch slides shut underneath you.
Your eyes adjust quickly to the darkness, and it reveals itself to be an automated sickbay. Two tables sit on either side of the room and robotic sets of surgical tools hang idly from the ceiling. A first aid box is mounted on the far wall, and to the right of that is a door labeled [STAIRWELL]. Behind you is the winch that was pulling the ladder upwards.
You three are beaten, battered, and bloody, but you've made it. Through mutants, explosion, bullets, and laser fire you've pushed yourself far enough to make it to salvation.
The AI takes a moment to run a scanner over the interior room, and sees that Vae is aboard. With that, the ship's engines rotate and pull full throttle and you all rocket away from the planet and to the stars.
