Pogrom #2 - Abyss, aka "BOOM BOOM BOOM !!!1"To the abyss !
This a no quarter fight and everyone got dressed to kill. The crew felt confident knowing that Athath returned to fight some more, not realizing that they are in fact accompanied by the late pirate twin sister who joined them in a quest for revenge.
The Bonaventura approached the area at ramming speed landed brutally in the middle of a surprised enemy squad.
Deployment was fast and deadly, the gals jumped from the ‘ventura en masse, from the ramp, the bottom trap door, even the side hubbles. In mere seconds the enemies around were torn apart by explosions or blades. Two gals got caught in the spare shots that were fired. Hat hat’s was out of breath at the sight of the dying mutants and she started running towards the enemies, more than eager to stop the pogrom.
After running through a guard with her blade, Rince Wind rummaged through the body’s possessions.
There was a dangerous looking ball thingy, a laserey pistol and alcohol! Truly a great day.
Also another guy had a weird gun the gals could not figure out. As for angel, she grabbed a military shotgun and a bottle of vodka for herself. Euchre Jane got herself a laser gun. It’s time for tea, ladies!
With this corner of town safe, Darkening Kaos, Amperzand and a third gal stormed the warehouse. They saw one commando run inside, panicked by the assault.
Flasks of acid flew in the air at the dudes and dudettes who took position at the warehouse doors and proved to be quite disappointing, none of the gal tossed her bottle in the right direction, and unlike bombs, there is no blast to excuse the incompetence. Speaking of incompetence, one of the enemies blew herself up handling explosives. It’s a good thing because that would have otherwise killed quite a few of our pirates.
The trio inside the warehouse witnessed the murder the cowardly soldier committed and so they gave him a dose of courage, and lead. The other gals progressed more or less in a line through the garderns outside. There were so many of these military dudes popping out of the houses, shouting and waving their arms in an attempt to communicate between each other. They shot back from time to time, but thankfully the armor cushioned the shots fairly well. Eve Jobs-sama still claimed that the warrior suit made them look like rotten fruits afterwards.
Hopefully there were no shortage of black power bombs and those were very quickly turned into red paste. That no other mutant were caught in the explosion was incredible.
A pirate next to Angel took a shot to the leg and was unable to stop the bleeding. It was the time for the medical inclined girl to accomplish a miracle. She grabbed the vodka bottle she looted earlier, popped the lid…
And used it to clean her friends wounds. The mutant constitution of her patient then kicked in, the blood coagulating quickly and the bleeding stopped. This could be done such a prompt manner that Angel, hearing a door open behind her, turned around and blasted a soldier with her shotgun. A bomb was thrown afterwards to make sure that nothing was left alive over there. She then took a pose. Big gun in one hand, vodka in the other, the perfect mutant medic.
Meanwhile, Aperzand kept spreading anarchy and chaos to the west, sending soldiers flying in pieces along with pieces of concrete.
On her way towards the other gals, she picked a little white bomb on the one of her victim and primed it, to zero of course. A swabbie in front of her was busy shooting at a poor commando trying to take cover. She was eager to see what would happen with this little bomb so she threw it.
The man disappeared in a blinding flash, nothing was left but a burnt berret.
Nearby, Hat-hat sprinted through the bushes, axe in hand, screaming…
Her axe struck the guy in the head, jamming the skull and tearing the brain and all that fuss. In fact the weapon was stuck so deep in the body that she spent the remainder of this battle trying to take it out.
And with this, one side of the street was cleared. Now the gals had to cross the road and finish the job. Easier said than done.
Of course a panicked mutant had to get in the way. Get out, you!
One last woman remained on the other way, trying to kill unarmed mutants by herself. Euchre Jane showed her what happens to those who cross her way. She put a knee on the ground, looked through the laser rifle sight… and fired in automatic mode. The last foe fell to the ground with more holes than a confederate security system. The pirate girl made a little victory dance afterwards.
Silence fell upon the street. Mutants left and right were crying at the loss of their family members and Hat Hat was now clenching the remains of a snaek woman, crying.
The other gals patrolled left and right, they owned this place for a little while and gave a much better demonstration of their strength this time. For the first time of their life, they really felt that they were doing something important, something worth dying for.
The local tended to the pirates wounds, most of them were only grazed but the pain relief was welcomed. After searching the soldiers bodies and putting all the equipment in the Bonaventura, the team waved goodbye to the populace and flew off into the sunset.
Angel was promoted Boss Gal, for she is the best at handling alcohol and shotguns.
In the base, Eve Jobs-sama had one of her rare serious discussion with the brainers. Those dudes were different from the other dudes who fly the UFOs, and obviously the only constant is how much flammable clothing they like to cover themselves with. She needed to know more of each one of these guys, what they wanted, what they did not wanted, and the position of their vital organs. In short, she needed to learn more about the people she is terrorizing, so she can terrorize them even more!
On the other side of the world, word was spreading about this clan of superwomen who kicked ass and took name.

Those soldiers were sure easier to handle, them being into melee range in the first turn and
facing away helped for sure. Really, I dropped a scout, turned her around and wondered if it was pinata day.
The loot :
There was a full range of laser weapons among these soldiers, ranging from pistol to heavy. Not a lot of clips however as the gals used the weapons right away, but still we can line up three loaded rifles for one mission if the next terror is in the northern hemisphere, where I suppose we will be against carapace armored soldiers. There were also shotguns (military and sawed off) and a magnum. There were misc stuff from the spartans (that must be the name of this group of soldiers). The pirates also found a gun almanac, all of this available for study.
The lessons learned:
Acid bottles are not good, not there anyway. The damage was minimal and it barely hit. I would guess that I’d better use them if I’m against better armored enemies before hitting them with other weapons, it’s up to me to learn what region spawns what and pick up the right guns because I dropped the panzerfrausts when I realized that there were no cyberdisk there. In anticipation, I am manufacturing a few poisoned daggers to complete the toolbox.
Looting enemies mid fight was a great idea.
Black powder bombs are my favorite weapons. They’re cheap and kills a lot of enemies. Almost all the kills were bombs.
