Re: The Destroyer
In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 828):
Rubbing his red eyes, Crichton looked like he really needed a beer. Peter and Jane could see he was wearing a red "Maltese Cross" (the Templar's symbol) badge on a white arm band, as did the other defenders.
"Hey, I hear you been through a lot, too!
"We really slowed 'em down in the ruins, made 'em fight on foot, house to house and room to room. Still, with the Anti-Templars leading the Destroyers, their biker and road gang allies the bad guys numbered about 400. It was at least 4 to 1 odds and they were a lot better armed than we were, lots of vehicles, a few heavy weapons. They fought their way to the door of the Temple and looked like they were going to overrun us completely, but no one ran. At the last moment Goose and his boys and girls came through the storm wall, hit 'em from behind. It was all over but the shouting, the Destroyers and their biker and road gang allies broke and tried to flee, they got cut down. There were six Anti-Templars and five went down (I zapped two myself), only one got away."
Modeen's posse of Anti-Templars had numbered twelve. They'd killed three, five more fell here, leaving four unaccounted for,
"Why don't you go in and talk to Goose and Simon (he's doing better now). They're waiting. Then we can catch up, if we have time, but other things are happening."
