Cylus scrambles towards the position in the turret, grabbing hold of the controls.
"Okay, so what am I looking at here? And what am I shooting?" he asks the driver.
English
-
"Anything yellow and black. Cerberus colors; should be quite easy to spot 'em!" The driver told Cylus, as he could see 3 or so Makos in from of him entering another tunnel of sorts up ahead.
-
Cylus nods, looking around for sight of enemies. Keeping his head on a swivel and hands on the controls, he awaits engagement.
-
The Makos entered the area to see at least a hundred or so Cerberus soldiers behind cover enganging the Makos with RPG's and their dinky guns. "Welp...this looks easy for you. I think." The driver said, letting Cylus begin his shooting.
-
"With pleasure." Cylus pulled down the trigger and began mowing down the lined of Cerberus troops, laughing as he went. The enemy dove out of the way, but their escape attempts were futile. "Any overheat on this thing? He shouts over the gunfire.
-
"Yeah...though it should quickly be able to back to use in...oh, 30 seconds." The driver responded, as Cylus was able to blast though 50 of the goons, the remaining of the moving further back toward a giant set of double doors. It seemed the gun could fire for a few more seconds before overheating.
-
Cylus waited for the next set of enemies, knowing that the Makos behind him could get anybody he missed. "Alright, let's see what comes next."
-
...And what they got certantly 'bumped up the difficulty'. Coming out was about 100 [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/5/5f/ME2_YMIR_Mech.png/revision/latest?cb=20120419005946]YMIR mechs[/url], armed to the bone and teeth with rockets and machine guns. "Oh shit..." the driver realized, looking at the mechs coming in. They were a little bigger than the normal human, standing at around 8 feet...
-
"I'm assuming that this is a bad thing." Cylus says rhetorically. He pulls down on the trigger, firing the gun at the mechs. He aimed for the face, as he assumed the big red lights were their sensors.
-
This seemed to work, as 10 blew up in quick succesion. The other continued forward, however, crushing Alliance soldiers with their giant meccjanical feet. "Fire the rockets, damnit!" The driver yelled out to Cylus.
-
Cylus clicked the second button on the handles and aimed, this time with four consecutive trigger pulls
-
This resulted in a massive explosion, that surprisingly didn't cave the tunnels in. The remaining mechs went down, the last few being destroyed by any remaining Alliance soldiers there...which were quite only a few. "Damn f*****g ay...almost gave me a damn heartattack..." the driver responded. "You can head out now; doesn't seem like there's many hostile left here." Gianna responded, most likely already out of the Mako.
-
Cylus hops out and nods to the driver. "That was fun." he says. He looks over to his team who was following close behind, waving them to come over. "Where to now?" he asks
-
"We'll just need to make our way through a few more doors and we'll make it to the main plaza; that's where the Alliance resistance was holding up at." Gianna says, motioning Cylus to follow her, the remaining 20 or so Alliance soldiers making their way through.
-
"Let's hit em where it hurts!" Cylus says, kicking a dislodged mech head.
-
"Of course. I'll hail them now." Gianna had told Cylus and the remainder of their allies, as she used her Omni-tool in a attempt to hail them. Unfortunately, nothing was picking up on the other end. "Strange; they would've called after we shut down their support...unless..." she says, the final door opening. A massive window stood right in front of them, overlooking the snowy mountains of Noveira. Alliance and Cerberus soldiers alike laid dead nearby. Some civilians laid dead as well, most likely resistance fighters. "You said we got a breach at the north hangar, lieutenant? Got it." One of the Cerberus soldiers said. They happened to have entered in the middle of the hallway, the sound of that voice coming from the left side of the hallway. "How do you want to take this?" Gianna whispered to Cylus. [spoiler]-Take it a silent route -Go out guns blazing[/spoiler]
-
Cylus draws one of hus pistols along with a suppressir, quickly screwing it on. "Let's not alert anyone else who might be there. I'll take point." Cylus says. He raises his pistol, ready to move
-
She nods, moving with Cylus, as she turns her Omni-took into a blade, pulling out a spare knife in case. Up ahead, two Cerberus Assault Troopers were talking to each other, making their way to a nearby door, facing away from both Gianna and Cylus.
-
"I'll take left, you take right." Cylus whispers. He slowly approaches one of the Cerberus soldiers until he was mere inches behind them. Wrapping an arm around their neck and with a hand over their mouth, Cylus pulled them backwards before firing two silenced shots into the base of their skull. A quick and effective execution.
-
On the other hand, Gianna walked up behind the other trooper, and began putting the soldier into a chokehold, before taking a knife from her other hand and slit his neck, killing him. She dragged the body behind cover. "We should move. Whoever' leading them should be starting to contact these guys after a bit." She says.
-
Cylus pulled his body behind cover as well, making sure it was well hidden. "Which way?" he asks, looking down the halls
-
"Right down here..." she explains, making her way through the door...only to see why those Alliance soldiers never responded. They were all dead. No Cerberus presence was shown, but the corpses of Alliance, Cerberus, and the bodies of innocent civilians were located all across the main plaza. There was no shortage of death here. Gianna looked through all the Alliance corpses, although this time, it was to find out whether whoever lead the attack left or was still there.
-
"Q, scan for survivors." Cylus says. He steps over the abundance of bodies, especially careful not to step on the fallen Alliance soldiers and civilians. "What hell could've run through this place?" he asks, turning to Gianna
-
"I...." she could barely mumble out, considering of her speechlessness at the demise of her own people. There seemed to be some noise coming from a locked door at the other end of the plaza. "The Head's office?" Gianna had said, looking up at one of the corpses, specifically that of a child, looking for toward the office.
-
Cylus looked towards the source of the noise, staring right at the locked door. "I'll check it out." he whispers. He motions for his team to follow, pulling out his single pistol's counterpart. "Q, enhance audio." he says, listening to whatever was on the other side
-
"...what the hell do you mean I won't get my f****g money?!" Some man responded, most likely the leader of this particular invasion. "I believe the Illusive Man mentioned that EVERYBODY is dead, sir. Parasini is still alive, and we had confirmation of Alliance reinforcements being dropped a couple days ago." A Cerberus trooper had replied. The sound of a slitting of a throat was heard, before...silence...and a sniff. "I can smell you on the other side of this door...come on out, and MAYBE I could have you for my next dinner..." the man from before said. Whoever this was...must've been insane....
