Zob heard the call from Mortica then looked to the others, "This isn't gonna happen Garrat we should abort we don't have the numbers or the firepower" Zob raised his rifle and took aim to cover Mortica once she was in sight.

  Mortica  fired   3  Times, two  rounds  caught the mad, the  third   Sailed  off    into the  tunnel... The Second   Man Was shoting  as he Oepned Up his   Pusle rifle..

 The  'PLOOM PLOOM" of the rifle  said it was  of Demon make..

, Mortica    ran towards the intersection, even as   the   Female Guard   came  around the Corner... she fired   three  times    with the same type  Of  Weapon..

………………

 Stoly    swore in Russian... well.. we  found the lair.....

 Rolfe   looked at his Belt.....I have   3 grenades for my launcher left.

...............

 *  Mortica   Roll 3  1d100 please..

..looking Norward they  saw  to  bright flashes   zipo by the intersection.. They can hear somne shouts..

Zob looked to Stoly, "Fall back and get to the van and get it fired up for a quick take off if need be..." he then looked to Garrat wondering what he wanted to do.

    Garrat curses, "What part of do not engage doesn't that girl understand." He goes over proceedure "Stoly com this in.  No worries Rolfe you can use mine if needed, for now Zob, do you think you can snipe the guards who are chasing her without drawing any more attention?  Her description isn't exactly precise and I have a helmet and a gun camera so it would be nice to see if we can eliminate the guards before they know it's the ESN that found them and raise an alarm."

   Garrat goes to his belly and preps to shoot with his Rifle.  Better if Zob does it with his accuracy and suppressor but the 55c will have to do if needed.

Zob pulled out his silenced sniper and took aim and waited until he had a shot on the guards head, "I'm pretty sure its to late for that Garrat..." Zob grumbled obviously annoyed borderline angry.

  The  Two gang leaders  look at them.....look..you guys might be good at  fighting on ships  and on planets.. but.. you do know, tehre are three   main  tunnels.. and  each of them intersect with the side   tunnels?... The Blacked off the Middle.. so that  means?

 ..it means they  can send  folks  down the side passages..or... call in units that might be behind us

Robbins , Rolfe  and Stoly were goign over their Ammo, Rolf  slapped  his launched  shut.

 Ma-Ti looked worried , if.. you could tell if an Angel was ever  worried.... Mann was in the back , lookign behind them with his  grease gun ready

 the Gangers    had went back to the Intersection and were looking  East and West.

Garrat snorts and drops his pack, "Yes, but so far they are chasing one woman and with limited forces.  We eliminate the forces we regain the element of surprise.  We need that if we are to get a picture of what this "Army" looks like.  This is my usual combat pack.  It has C-10 in it.   That can collapse the side tunnels if needed."

Nikki prepared for incoming.  She had not moved as many had thought, and was still quiet.  Quickly she relayed via text to Garrat and Zob 'perhaps moving back to the last intersection with a few noisier people... have others wait in this intersection.  Let Mortica pass to that squad.  Let a few run by, then open up trapping them between both intersections'.
She believed Mortica was headed back their way.  she was preparing for that.  She moved back a few feet and dropped to a knee so others could fire or toss things over her.  she readied a grenade and brought her rifle into a better position.

In reply to Nicole Rutledge (msg # 613):

    Garrat motions the others to stay out of sight. "We are in a side tunnel.  Second, as long as they are chasing one woman they aren't going to make as much of a fuss.  We give them a whole bunch and they hold out for reinforcements.  If more come the trap is already in place but we don't have time before we deal with these"

She didn't stay and trade fire with the humans coming out save to shoot the one with the COM but by then it was too late. She had kicked over the nest and they were coming. She cursed again as a round hit her right leg - painful and bleeding but not enough to slow her down. She spun and took off down the tunnel back to her forces at Vampic speed. As she ran she pulled a frag grenade free, pulled the pin and tossed it hard over her shoulder at her pursuers.

"Asta ar trebui să vă încetiniți pe fiii nenorociți!" She said, slipping into Vampic without any thought on her part which was quickly followed by another curse as she heard noise down the starboard side. "We have incoming from port and starboard sides! I'm turning the corner...now!" She called out so they didn't shoot her.

She folded back into the Delta Fleet and ganger combined force, raised her rifle and did a quick check on her bleeding leg. Her eyes were a deep red and her fangs were bared as she aimed down the tunnel.

  Stoly COmed  Beth  and  relayed  what  little he knew.. but included that Garrat asked  for  Back up..and  warned about the   'base' that seemed to be  built  right in the Stem.

   He waited   for  the answer...

…………………………………

  mortica's   grenade  went off, there  were  some  screams.. and More shouts.. shouts   comign  from both East  and  west

  Rolfe readied his   with his  grenade launcher..

 Robbins    Looks  around,..you know?...  these  Tunnels  are made from Hull steels  right?.. you might blow a  hole  in  them, But you're  not collapsing it... and?.. the concussion ..may well kill us?

.....................

 Teh GAngers     were  ready  , half  facing    the other  directions.,. leaving the  North for the ESN  folks.

Garrat got the com back from Hack and pulled out his C-10 and tossed some pieces to the ESN who knew how to use them. "Then we need to plant what we got and run.  With luck the concussion can be used against them and the rest won't know who was watching."   Garrat slapped the C-10 0n the wall, "Gangers, start heading out full speed weapons up.  Shoot anyone on sight but keep going.  We'll bring up the rear." Garrat keeps in mind the potential for concussive blasts as he places the c-10 on the way out.  He knows "innocents" will be hurt but considering there is an EDT army down here he has to take his chances He tells sec he's placing the charges and not to enter the tunnels until he detonates.

  Rolfe   took a   bit  and slpped it on the other  wall.

 Robbins   just looked at  it  and said,..shoulda had  Brooks, Karson or  Hesmly here.,,i..um..think..i maigh  be able to fuse it?

After handing off his C10 to Garrat to finish placing, he got up and got ready to run for his life, "Ok Garrat lets get the hell out of here!"

   "Yes sir, we runnin our asses off" He grins "Just like old times eh?"  His grin fades, his first mission saw him and Irina running for their lives.  If he hadn't been babysitting an idiot that couldn't follow orders she might be running with them today.  He looks back at the Vampic.  He hopes he wasn't tied to another such soldier.

 Stoly waved the Gangers  on.....Mann!..get  both Vans  started..  either  me or Nikki will   drive the other one..., don't leave  until all of us  are out of this  damned warren..

Stoly  waited  a bit to make sure  no one was left behind..  Rolfe  Back peddled   quick  , when he  got to the first Intersection he saw Movement and fired to the  starboard  side..  Screams  of  surprise and Pain echoed through the   tunnels.. they  could  see Movement   at the North  end...

    Garrat fires two Asgard rounds [fragmentation grenades] at the north end and runs like a goddam motherfucker [pardon my French]

Garrat was the one in charge, she listened to his commands.  She ran back with the others as they ran.  she practically slid into the van.  That did surprise her a bit.  Like Stoly she thought they might have been just stripped and left on blocks.  "Hey...Bikes here too" she said almost as an after thought.

 Clamorign up the Rungs.. Rolfe  covered them     by firing  a  rouad   down the east  tunnel and  North Tunnel.. being abck bu the hatchway.. they  could see  a lot of  Movement   down both directions... like a Military sweep.. the   grenades went off... and Suddenly   Rofle  went  down   with a surprised  scream.. in his  thigh was a  1  foot long Blade.

   Robbins   yelled,leave it in!..don't mess with it... Stefi has  to  take that out..

 there    was    a grunt  from Robbins  as he tried to pull himself  up.. Stoly grabbed  him  and  saw a Blade  sticking out of his  back....all the God s be  damned...  helm me with him...

 There was  an almost  musical  humm as   a  Blade     zipped up from the  Bottom of the hatchway..  a slice across   Stoly's  right cheek.. made him   swear more.

  they managed to get robbins  in, and  stoly whistled  for  both Vans to  take off..Stoly's  cheek  bleed  like  he  got his in the  face  with a sword...

 Rolfe    was staring  at the blade  in  Robbin's  back..Stoly to   base?..   we have to  badly wounded... Rolfe hs  an Elispian  Blade in his thigh.. Robbins  has  one  in his back...

 ..Stefi here.. do not remove the blades  you'll flat out bleed to death... shoot   derma foam it not he   wounds  to save   Blood, I'll have to  cut through it..but they'll stay alive

  Stoly took his  can  of  foam.  and began to   spray into the sides of the  blade, like he was  caulking a window.

  Rolfe  used his own can on his,..gods be damned, One  eyed  , bald  skinny bastards  and thier  damn  sniper blades... why the  9 hells are they here?

 must be Hillites  around... they are  each other's best friends..

Once the van got airborne and at a safe distance Zob would walk over, "What in the nine hells is going on?" he asked the frustration clearly evident in his voice. ever since the start of this mission its been a absolute cluster fuck and Zob was getting real sick of it at this point.

   As soon as every one was out of the tunnels Garrat detonates the C-10 and hops on his bike, waiting to see the vans off.

 The Vans   lift off.. and the   Thunder of the   C-10 under  the stem  shakes   the   area.  arpound them , they can see  figure s runnign  for  cover.. some of the  kid sized.

 Stem folks to  Condo...

Getting in she starts the van up as they load.  about half a heartbeat after Stoly is up so is Nikkis.  She hovers only a moment as Garrat and the hover bike are up.  Following them to the condo.
She commed a head asking for use of a shower and her clothes....she felt like she stank so bad even Zobs leg hair would curl up around in his nostrils.

  The    troopers move down from the  main middle street hole.. thier   Heavy Pulse  Gun  set  up in al  4  directions  to Cover  the   flow  of troopers...

 to the North of  the Largran's  settlement.. the  same thing was happening.. troops  flowed like  water  from  the Main Middle  street entrance points.    Burners    hand  sealed  the     portside  and   starboard  side ( after  some firefights..)

 once the    drop shuttles  were emptied out.. the  main broup of  troopers  that consisted  of  Heavy   Pulse, Flamethrowers  and   grenade launchers    began to march up the Middle, as  Burners  began to cut away the Middle  holes.

 to the  port and starboard  firefights  broke out , as  'allied'  gangs  tried to attack the ESN troopers  from behind...
