42 Powow

The vehicle abruptly switches from its path, drifting around a corner before doing a u-turn directly towards the warehouse. The scavs and mercenaries patrolling the area quickly notice this, but only realise the severity of the situation when a panel on the roof of the truck opens up, revealing a heavy-duty turret.

A laser flashes from it and points directly at one of the men's foreheads, causing his breath to hitch as his friends shout for him to move. Shocked by the suddenness of it all, he's unable to take a single step as the turret opens fire.

*BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!*

The man's body explodes into blood and viscera as his comrades throw themselves behind cover, or to the ground if there isn't any nearby... Unfortunately for them, the AI targeting systems didn't register 'mercy'.

"SHIT! WE'RE GETTIN' ATTACKED! WE'RE UNDER ATTA-"

*CRRASSH!*

The vehicle smashes through the wire fencing surrounding the courtyard of the warehouse, inadvertently crushing two unfortunate mercenaries who'd attempted to hide behind some concrete barricades. They died quickly, bodies crushed to mulch, resembling half-empty toothpaste as the truck turns their cover to dust and rubble.

Bullets collide with its armoured plating but do literally nothing, not even giving it scratches as the scavs unload their weapons at it. The turret quickly whizzes around, downing any enemy in sight, particularly targeting those currently shooting at it.

It drifts along in the courtyard, kicking up dirt and stone before abruptly stopping. Its doors shoot open upwards like wings, allowing Rebecca to jump out with a pink and white assault rifle in hand.

A few scavs dare to peek their heads out of cover while the vehicle's turret was busy elsewhere, but before they can take a potshot at the short-stack volley of bullets find them.

"Hahaha! Come on! Is that all you got!?" Rebecca laughs as she adds to the carnage occurring around her. Her targeting systems allowing her to easily lock onto the enemies Six tagged earlier, rendering them just large humanoid targets in her eyes.

Ori had hopped out the other side of the vehicle with Max's spare LMG in hand, he hoists the heavy weapon up and unleashes an uncontrolled burst toward the front door of the warehouse after three men had ducked inside.

Even with his shoddy aiming, his bullets rip through the door and the ill-maintained wall, utterly annihilating them and anything behind it, including the three unfortunate men. "STOP HIDING MARV! I'M GONNA SKIN YOU ALIVE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" he roars.

He continues to hold the trigger down, dragging it across the building towards some scavs who thought it was a good idea to try blind-firing at him. Stupid, the aluminium crates they were hiding behind acted as little more than toilet paper, disintegrating under his weapon's continued onslaught.

Ori spots the barrel of a gun poking from behind the corner of a raised catwalk, he shifts slightly but-

*BANG!*

Still ends up taking a bullet, it hits his shoulder and shreds a good portion of the muscle. His nanites rapidly get to work repairing it, but it'd probably take a while. He grunts as he gets hit but bears with it, spraying another volley at the sniper...

Ori growls as he misses everything however, the kick of the weapon combined with its weight, his fucked up shoulder, and his low shooting skill made it almost impossible to hit them. "Fuck it, nanites, help me hit this gon-cunt!" he utter under his breath.

[Executing Request: Flesh Administrator]

Instantly, as if he'd gained a sixth sense, he twists the barrel a couple inches to the side and fires a single shot, it hits the wall directly next to the sniper who panics in response and tries to flee, but doesn't get far as his bullet nails him in the temple.

Ori glances to the side at Rebecca who'd walked around his side of vehicle, grinning manically as she fires off quick bursts at the now cowering mercenaries. Most of them who'd been in the courtyard had already been flatlined, and what remained were those too scared to move from their hiding places.

[How's the sich inside, Six?] Ori asks over the comms.

[Basement clear. Moving up.]

"Come on Ori! We're gonna miss all the fun!" Rebecca prompts, running over to the last hiding mercs and jumping atop their cover. She blasts one in the face, causing his head to explode in a shower of gore but ends up running out of ammo as she tries to kill the second.

The sound of her gun clicking seems to encourage the last guy, but Rebecca just rips out her magazine and throws it at his face, his aim gets disrupted and he ends up firing at the sky, allowing Ori to drop him with a bullet to the back of his head.

"Hahaha! Did you see that!? That bozo really thought he had a chance!" she laughs as she clicks in another magazine.

"Yeah, almost killed you..." Ori remarks, baffled at her recklessness...

She sniffs at him, hopping off of the box and onto one of the merc's corpses, "Hey, I had that handled!"

[Courtyard cleared, moving in] Ori reports to Six.

They approach the utterly ruined front entrance, which may have well just been open to the outside with how many holes had been punched into it. Rebecca pushes her eyes next to one to see inside but falls backwards as the occupants inside begin randomly firing.

They both back away, cautious of any lucky shots. "GIVE ME MARV AND I'LL LET YOU BASTARDS GO!" Ori shouts at them, not intending to let any of them go regardless of what they do.

"FUCK OFF!" someone shouts from inside.

"NO! FUCK YOU!" Rebecca insults back, ducking low to the ground as they fire more shots at her general direction. "Let's kill this guys already!" she complains to Ori.

"Way ahead of you." he responds, unclipping some grenades from the belt Six had given him. He tosses some to Rebecca who grins wildly in response.

"Keep 'em away from Six's charges... On three... One. Two-" Ori starts counting but Rebecca moves early, throwing two grenades through one of the higher windows, causing the occupants of the place to begin shouting and panicking. "SEE HOW YOU GUYS LIKE THIS!"

Letting out an exasperated sigh, he throws his own as well before ducking and preparing for the blast.

*BOOOOM!*
