24, Jan 2601Steady…
Steady…
Out!
The supply ship is taking turns over the ocean and it is best to wait. Otherwise the booty will sink into the abyss and this adventure will be nothing for a waste of fuel. After a few minutes, it took the direction towards the confederation and the Bonaventura zoomed into it at ramming speed.
Needless to say, it was downed pretty quickly. The gals took each their guns, with Rince Wind clenching the sniper rifle so no one will take it. The runt duds really helped this time, everyone could at least hold a pistol and a cutlass, plus other accessories.
And the pirates started with some smoke cover…
This proved to be a good idea as the gals immediately surprised their first friend. Euchre Jane let the powder talk and so does Fatima Ann…
Who hit EuchreLane in front of her!
Hopefully Rince Wind jumped down the ramp with the sniper rifle and gave the guard a clean hit! Scoring the crew’s second kill. The other gals ran down to give Euchre bandages, leaving her with a nasty wound in the back. And so we have our first wounded… by friendly fire.
Good job Fatima.
On the other side, Darkening Kaos and Amperzand scout the other side and find…
A handsome boy, not very muscular and a bit scared. The gals wanted to try and bring him home and check if he have a third arm.
In fact, one of the gals could not wait and ran to him, the frightened boy shot at her, hitting her in the chest. Her mutant physique kept her alive, but for how long?
Amperzand had no choice but to save the stupid gal. And get a kill. A civilian, but a kill none the less.
On the other side, the gals spotted two more boys, they are trying a more subtle aproach this time. The men back up while one of the gal creep up. But this does not go well as she too can a face full of lead and fell. ‘What happened’ yelled Athath but before she could react, Fatima Ann ran in and shot the boy dead. Before another gal give the other boy a chainsaw treatment.
After the dust and gore settled in, Athath ran to help the wounded woman. She was still alive but unconscious. It will take a long time for her to recover, not to mention that Euchre Jane is also going to stay in the sick bay for 21 days. The problem is that there is not enough place to hire replacements and the wounded gals are valuable enough to not send away. The pirates will have to play with three less hands for now.
Among the loot were 3 assault pistols, a spraygun, a blackmarsh SMG and an assault rifle, as well as HE grenades an some credit chips that were sold for cash. Some promotion were also provided to a few seabi... seadogs who felt more confident with the art of killing and stealing.
The assault rifle was unknown to the pirates so while they could use it, they did not know its capabilities. And the HE grenades looked much less useful than black powder bombs. Why bother priming a timer when it’s always going to be zero?
But the pirates could not rest this time. As men of power took notice of their adventures...
25, Jan 2601Eve Jobs-sama was awaken early the next day, 11am being what she call early. Disgruntled and half clothed, the Big Boss walked into what became her command room. A small place full of radio equipment and flickering monitors. What Darkening Kaos explained to her however made her mood worse. A really disturbing signal was being broadcasted in the archaic AM frequancies.
"... are hitting people on the street! I repeat, this is the mutant alliance! Soldiers are firing at us at the streets in Hel, killing men and women without discriminating. They even dragged and beaten up a pureblood friend of mine calling him a sympathizer. I mean... please, anyone, I beg of you, help us, they are killing us without reason! Help us..."
The once easy going Big Boss was gone, she pointed toward the screen yelling.
"I want the 'ventura in the air! Ye get in there and kick their asses! Why ye still doin' here, out, out!"
Hel indeed.
