As the crew was stuck in the middle of an intersection, dozens of red dots lit up on the drones screen, all of which were in the buildings around them.
They were completely surrounded and they had no idea.
English
-
"Contact, in the buildings." Cannon warns, his ship prepping and arming a few missiles.
-
"How many?" Deity asked.
-
"A lot." Cannon replies, sweeping his blaster towards the buildings. "I could blast the buildings down, but they could be civilians."
-
"Too risky." Said Deity. "We have to get out of here before it's-" He was cut off as a rain of gunfire opened on the crew. They began to drop like flies as the were surrounded and they scrambled to find cover of any sorts. Deity immediately sprinted towards one of the buildings with his assault rifle un-slinged and the strap wrapped around his wrist. "We need to get to the high ground NOW! Breach this shit Can!"
-
"HIT THE DECK! INCOMING SUPPORT! DANGER CLOSE!" Cannon's ship sends a volley of missiles towards the buildings.
-
The missiles exploded and the buildings shattered upon impact, sending rubble flying everywhere. Deity wuohcly used a car as cover. "WHAT DID I SAY! GOD DAMNIT YOU BETTER HOPE CIVIES WEREN'T IN THERE!" He yelled as he fired at the buildings. There was significantly less gunfire after the ordnance.
-
"If there were, we wouldn't have been able to help them if we're dead." Cannon replies, firing at the enemy.
-
"God damnit!" He cursed as he returned fire. Eventually, the gunfire from the buildings stopped.
-
Cannon checked his ship scans again, slowly standing to look aroubd.
-
There were no more red dots located. Up ahead, about two miles, was the largest building. "Alright. We gotta get to that building." Said Deity. "No way are these guys unorganized, not after that attack. I'm wagering whatever dickhead pays them is in that building. If we take him out, we stand a chance."
-
"I'll take point this time. My armor should take whatever they can throw at us." Cannon replies, moving up in front. "How did they know we were coming?"
-
"They probably didn't." Said deity. "They're trying to hold the city. These guys were likely on guard duty while the rest are out partying." Deity followed Cannon and waved the captain over. "How are we doing?" He asked. "Not good. Took a really bad hit." "Ya...okay. Take to the buildings and pick these bastards off." "Got it!" She replied as she went to talk to her crew.
-
"If we can confirm there are no civilians in the main building, my ship could level it... I could try and deploy a flitter drone disguised as a bug."
-
"Scout it out first before we head out." Deity suggested.
-
Cannon nods. "It's too winder for a drone anyways." He decides, moving towards the building.
-
As Cannon got to his vantage point, he saw many, MANY people within the building. Most were civilians, which would explain where all of them went. But there were also tens of dozens of armed guards roaming it. They turned the entire building into its own city from the looks of it. Deity came in on the comm's. [i]"Hey! What do you see over there?"[/i]
-
"Well, I found all the civies. They're in the building... Surounded by a few hundred guards." He replies, keeping low and out of sight.
-
"A few hundred...Shit" He cursed to himself. "We have to create a distraction some how. Something to draw those guards out."
-
"I'll get right on that." Cannon switches his blaster to sniper mode, preparing to distract. "I'll only be able to keep them busy for a few moments. Get the civies out of there, then come help me."
-
"Wait what's your plan?!" He asked.
-
"I'm going to get them to chase me, make an opening for you to rescue the civies." He looks for a target he could hit that wouldn't be likely to be spotted.
-
"Okay...alright! Do it! I got the captain here with me so we'll take care of it!"
-
"Copy that. Let's hope I don't get blown to oblivion." He aligns the scope and fires, sending a high caliber plasma coated steel bolt through the head of a guard.
-
The guard inside the building dropped to the ground, dead. But no one noticed the kill due to its discreetness. He would need something much bigger.
-
Cannon scopes out the building, finding a wall thats away from any hostages. He sends a wrist rocket towards the wall.
