(A few minutes before, from the other side of the events.)
Marcel- I took down the guard, cabling the door!
Spazz- Gotcha, here, should let you... in!
Marcel- Pluging again, we're good to take control of the communication hub, no surprise inside.
Spazz- Sending my agent... they didn't update the exploit, bunch of cavemen. We have control over all comms in the dome.
Harold- Marcel, go back to Kate, just in case she needs backup.
Marcel- Sure thing boss!
Spazz- Oh, they are PISSED! Brutaff is trying to call someone.
Harold- Deny all his calls except for Kate's number, send the others on a wild goose chase. Don't need 'em skunking our work.
Kate- Breath, in... ... ... ... out... ... ... ... in ... ... ... ...
Cere- You're good? I could...
Kate- I got it, don't worry.
Cere- *Incomming call*
Kate- Welcome to Sandy Pleasures, who am I talking to?
Harold- We got a bite! Marcel, on the double, you are cutting it too close, not sure you'll be there in time!
Brutaff- Cut the corpo spy crap, I got your contact from your boss. I need a discrete talk. Can we meet at your place?
Kate- Oook... I guess, what's this about?
Brutaff- Sensitive stuff, boss's ears only, I'll need a secure line to talk.
Kate- I can arrange that, come to the address I'm sending your Cere.
Brutaff- OK, see you soon, I'm on my way.
Cere- *End of communication*
Harold- Marcel won't make it...
Kate- Abort?
Spazz- "Don't worry, one diversion coming in hot!"
*Crash, BOOM! BRRRRRRrrrrrrr.r.r..... choke choke... silence*
Marcel- "Putain! what did you do this time?"
Spazz- "Told you I had an ace up my sleeve! I blew up the geny, causing a cascading failure of all life support systems. Should draw some attention."
Harold- "Haven't you forgotten something?"
Spazz- "Errrrrr..."
Harold- "What about the other inhabitants?"
Spazz- "Wops...!"
Harold *Sigh* "Why do I even bother?"
Kate- Should we...
Harold- ... No... Don't worry about it. I'll use a card I had in reserve. I know someone who could take over the place with minimal bloodshed. With Brutaff gone and the generator down, the Brutalisators' position is weakened. That person will take over and fix the damn thing... Fuck, I really hoped I would never have to play her. This isn't going to be pretty.
* In his breath* "I should slap you for that..."
Spazz- *Awkward laugh* Well, in the win column it worked, Brutaff is a bit slower and the gang changed focus. It should give us some time to get him and evac.
Marcel- Still won't make it before he reaches the door, I got held up by a crowd.
Harold- Fuck! OK, we can salvage this, just stay at the door when you arrive ready to jump in while he's in VR.
*Toc Toc Toc*
*Clic Bjjjjjj*
Kate- "Yes? You're my 7 o'clock?"
Brutaff- "T's me."
Kate- "Get in honey, let's have a good time."
Brutaff- *Grunt*
Marcel- I'm inside, snuck in behind.
*Bjjjj clic*
Harold- Well done! But that was dangerous, it could have backfired severely.
Marcel- I like my chances against him.
Brutaff- "Are we alone?"
Harold- He's suspicious, make sure he doesn't step on your toes while he's doing the round.
Kate- "Just you and me. You said you needed a line?"
Brutaff- "Yes."
Kate- "Here's the link... might take a while, she's in a videoconference. Anything else I can get you while waiting? I have water."
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Brutaff- "Got anything stronger?"
Kate "Sure, just a sec."
Harold- Sending the call.
"Spiker here, I'm Dolores's superior, she's busy right now but I'm in the loop. What can we do for you?"
Kate- SHIT HE MADE ME!
Brutaff- "BITCH YOU TRYING TO CABLE ME? I'LL BREAK YOUR ARMS!"
Kate- He grabbed one!
*Crac!*
"AAAAAAAAAHHH! MARCEL!"
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, that hurt, t's broken.
Cere- Remember Kate, pain is just a signal, breath, focus, you have a job to do!
Kate- *Breath in ... ... ... out ... ... ...*
Marcel- "FILS DE PUTE!"
Kate- He's trashing Marcel!
Marcel- "Putain, Kate.... aaaarg... cable..."
Harold- "DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!"
Kate- T's just a socket, plug and play...
"Got him!"
Cere- *INTRUSION! INTRUSION! INTRUSION!*
Spazz- I'm blowing your candles fucker! Happy birthday!
Kate & Cere- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHRHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Marcel- "Brutaff iz down! Something'z wrong with Kate! Breath bébé breath! Spazz, what did you do?"
Spazz- Not me, there was a virus or something. Never seen anything like this.
Marcel- She's out... and I can't move... my body iz all screwed up.
Kate- "I... I'm... shit that's some headache.
Cere- Sorry there was something bugging me and some fuse got burnt, it should be better now, don't worry about it, you're OK, though you might have a migraine.
Spazz- The Brutalisators got some info, they are going toward your location. You have to bail.
Harold- Fuck! Nothing goes right today. Kate, can you move your other arm?
Kate- Yeah, I'll manage.
Harold- We can't carry both Marcel and Brutaff fast enough. Get Brutaff's brain case if you can, me and Spazz are on our way to get you with the truck!
Marcel- "Ah merde! I waz hoping for some upgrades."
Harold- No time for that!
Cere- Kate, safety first, remember Eager Beaver?
Kate- Good idea...
Marcel- "I know, I know... Kate, what are you doing?"
Kate- "Basic boobytrap, in case we cut it close. Better losing his head than ours."
Harold- Good thinking!
Kate- "Now the head!"
Spazz- They are getting close.
Kate- Got the head in the bag, putting that one on Marcel to have a harness and handle on Marcel's body.
Marcel- Taking me for a suitcase?
*BOOM!*
Kate- They're here! Giving them a reason think twice!
*BANG BANG BANG!*
Kate- Marcel, hold my gun, I'm pulling you in the back!
*BANG!.... BANG!*
Marcel- Can't aim for shit with my softs in this state.
Kate- Just force their heads down!
"We're out!"
*vvvvvVVRRRRRRRR*
Harold- That's us, don't shoot!
Marcel- Wouldn't matter.
Kate- Pulling my SMG, laying down fire!
*Brrrrrrt Brrrrt Brrrt*
Spazz- "I got the big guy!"
Harold- Kate, get in!
*Brrrrrrt Brrrrrt Brrrrt*
Kate- Close your eyes! Flash out!
*PAWK*
Gangoon 1- "I'm blind, who are these damn fuckers?"
Kate- "GO GO GO!"
*screeching tires*
*Distant shots fired*
Harold- "We should be good from here. Everyone's OK?"
Kate- "Could use a drink... and I think my arm is broken."
Marcel- "My frame is bent... this will cost a lot"
Harold- "All in all it could have been worse."
Spazz- "Guys... I think I've been shot!"
