Sath and  Lirg  answer  as they  take aim.

   Hemsly   sets  contacts  for  some   ...crickett ball-saized...C-10

 Minnet sets her heavy  pulse to the   slots near the right most  Gate.

 ..Cal here.... we tried to get the gate a couple times when we had ...disagreements... the turrets  move on motion..i think... the  sniper   nests  are covered like a tunnel with slots facing the street and the compound..you can bet they have  wall hangers... but my team should be able to spot them.. you'll know...

    "Thanks.  That should make things easier."  to his team.  "Okay, stay out of sight but start punching holes around the sniper slots.  Let's see how armored those turrets are."

   Garrat starts using his Heavy Rifle to punch holes in the mechanism of the turrets as fast as he can pull the trigger.

    Once  Garrat started to  Fire..  everyone else did as well..  Minnet used  controlled bursts  at once section to beat a hole through the sheet metal.

   Hemsly  Tossed   the three   C-10 spheres  at the gate..  they  rolled and  Bounced..one  went under the gate inside.. the other  two were pretty close..  he   wriggles   the   trip box  and  triggered the detonators ..   the explosions almost..came  as one  the right  door swung in slowly and the left door ( as they look at the gate). fell off the lower   hinge and bent backwards.. The Turrets  swung    at each flash sending  heavy Pulse rounds through the Darkness, chuncks of  Bricks flew into the Air.

 Garrat's    third  shot   Exploded the   left  turrent with that Turret  down... Minnet opened up  full auto  tracing  an ..almost..perfect line  across the  sniper holes.. screams from inside every now  and them told of  a  Hit.

  Flashes up in the darkness... followed  but  two bodies falling to the Compound from some 100 feet up, told of  an Unseen battle in the darkness.

Garrat opened up on the right turret.  His hard rounds punch through it's armor.

    "If Cal losses any people, we'll have to see if we can bury them with ESN honors.  Maybe get benifits for their families."  He keeps an eye out for anyone leaving the compound.

    Lirg    yells  as the Gates  falls.. he rushed up to the wall.. Smoke is  coming from the  two turrets  as  they have been  knocked out.

   Minnet shifted her  fire  to the  right side of the Gate, Since  Lirg Moved up.. there was  a pair of Flashes   in the darkness  above and two more Bodies  fell with , sickening impact.. to the Compound.

  shouts  were  coming from inside the  walls...

Garrat had wrapped some wire around three one pound balls of C-10 and built detonaters into long tails of wire coming off them.  He comes through the gates and slinging them around throws them into the far corners of the compound.  [they have not detonated yet, he will do that as soon as he knows Lirg is not near one.]

  Lirg is on the  outside of the wall, about 10 yards  to the left, of the  left turret.

  When Garrat goes through the Gate. Lirg Runs Up to cover him, stepping to the left of the Inside of the  Gate.. firing at windows at the Hull-wall shops.

   Hemsly   says into the COMs.....hey Hans?.... Move towards  the  Compound... we're ging in..

  Minnet  looks around..where is the  Lizard?

 Lirg comes onto the COMs,Sath.... He get  shot  from above.... I think he is gone...

With Lirg safe Garrat detonates the C-10 to create confusion and goes deep.  What are his options?

 entering the gate,  Garrta Knows ...

 Sath is down..

  Lirg is to his  right...

  Minnet  and  Hemsly are Coming up from  behind... Minnet is  punching hold in the sheet metal with her  Heavy Pulse...'just to make sure'

 Hans is quiet... he hopes that he is safe.

...........

 they can see 4 bodies in the compound...one is  for certain, the Female from Cal's The other  3  are Oswald's men... there are 4 Buildings against the  Hull with and Opening to the Dock entrance.

 There is a flash from above to their left.. and a scream on the ground, to their  right as a weapon flies in the  air and a body drops from behind some crates.

 a Voice  comes  from somewhere in one of the Buildings,WHAT THE 9 HELLS  DO YOU WANT..... YOU AREN'T PART OF THE STEM....

   Garrat had run deep into the compound after detonating the bombs and backed against a crate.  "WE ARE NOW!" He roared with true anger "SURRENDER OR DIE."  He looks at the fallen Female from Cal's  Not much chance of her being alive but if she was, Garrat needed to end things now because she wouldn't be much longer.

  Garrt Nocticed the crumble d Body..chest armor or no.. 100 feet or so to the dusty dirty steel Dec Plating, was very unforgiving...

  a Voice, barely heard, but Garrat could  tell was shouted,..ANY THAT ARE LEFT..ARE INSIDE THE BUILDINGS...

  Hemlsy said, Got me one crickett ball left.. where ya want the bloody thing...

 he had his  right hand on the  trigger of his grease gun... and the  C-10 ball in his left.

   I'm counting down from five.  At zero there will be no further chance for surrender."  To Hemsly, "in the building when I reach zero."

   "Five...four....three...two...one...zero.!"

  Cover is lean  right now in the Compound. the area  cleared for loading Vans and the like.

  There is no answer  from the Buildings.. until Garrat reaches  3... they a rain of  weapons   comes  from the windows of  every building..

 Lirg Howls  as he   hits the ground  then tries to make it to  carts and   Barrels to the far left... once he reaches  it , he begins  to fire slowly into the windows at any movement he sees.

 Hemsly doesn't wait..  using his best  bowler form,, sends the  ball  high, then dives on the ground  as rounds   fly over his  head...

  Minnet, using the gate  for , what cover it is  worth Opens up on the  windows with a side to side Motion...

 Hemsly  reaches  the crates near the  right  side of the compound  swearing  and hollering  in  Scottish... he then  triggers  the Ball...

  By the time he triggered the  BAll.. someone on the inside had  tried to pick it up to throw.. and the inside of the  Middle  Building  Lit up shattering  Bodies and shreding others  with splinter and masonry shrapnel...

Hans rushes to reposition himself for the breach. Reaching the side wall of the compound he unspools several feet of det cord and places it against the wall. He qyickly rigs the detinator and stands a few feet away. Turning away he waits. When he hears the mark he pressed the detinator then rifle up rushes into the breach.

  From the   right side of the  Compoind the wall blows in , about the same  time Hemsly set off his.. Hans  can see that there is only a few rounds  coming out as Garrat had a few  rounds chew up his  breastplate,  and Hemsly  begins to fire bursts from his  greasegun, and the  windows closest to him and HAns.

As Hans stepped in he made sure to control his breathing. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. One shot at a time. He looked acquired targets fired a single shot then continued onward. Movement is life. Stillness is a target. Fire. Move. Fire. Move.

  From the smoke and fire... Hans  was able to get one target for sure.. he was certain he got another, but could not  confirm the kill.

   As the gun fire starts Garrat is not surprised.  Cornered animals are capable of anything.  He nods in appreciation to Hemsly for throwing early and and pulles his milled pistols out opening up on the windos with automatic fire from both of them. He nots two targets taking hits from sniper fire and glances back to see Hans.  "Good to have you back in formation Weber." Garrat makes sure his gear is firmly in place and shifts position so he's ready to run.  "Great job folks, give me some cover fire I'm going in."  Garrat waits for the cover fire then crouch runs to the wall of the building.

    Minnet    Kept   at full Auto on the   left side  Buildings..heavy Pulse rounds  tearing up windows  and   frames alike..  the  weapons  fire  was less there.. and Most was  Just a weapon raised  above the lower  wall and  fired  randomly.

  Lirg.s sniper rifle   barked in a  rythum of   fire.. Drawing  Back the  slide  on the  Hyrian  weapon, slamming it forwards  and Firing again.

   Hemlsy was   firing  hard  Ammo from his grease gun he was greeted with a happt surprise ( not so happy for the other  fellow ) as I guy tried to tosss a smoke   grenade and  lost  most of his chest to the weapon.. the Grenade fell inside.. smoke up the closest  building to  Hans  and  Hemsly

 Garrat made his run...

As garrat ran up his armor held welluntil a heavy pulse round punched through his leg armor.  He missed a step, fell amd rolled to the base of the wall.  Down side? no more running today.  Up side, on the way in he made note of the muzzle flashes.  Grunting, Garrat pulled of his pack and made  some more C-10 balls, and systematically tossed them in the offending windows.  He prayed that any inocents would be hidden tightly away.  Once they were in Garrat didn't give the bad guys time to pick the balls up.  he ducked down and blew the room.  Lots of explosive but little in the way of shrapnel.

   Garrat's explosions  Rcoked the Buildings.. the   end building on Garrat's left lost its 2nd  floor as it  caved in..

 Once the  bangs wee done... smoke roiled from the  Broked  windows  and  chewed up walls.  there was some  screaming for help from wounded   Mercs...otherwise , it was quiet.

  There saw a soft thump  as  a fellow  dropped   to the wall in the far left corner.. he  jogged over to the crumpled body of his teammate, and lowered his head.

 Lirg  limped   towards thew Buildigns,  sweeping the area  with his rifle raised.

 Minnet had some  burns on her chest armor, but didn't look any worse for wear.

 Hemsly and Hans, Just looked  dirty...

   Garrat joined the sniper next to his fallen comrade. "Did she have family?"

  The  Fellow  looked up,...depends.... would have been me.... few thousand more creds... we  were gonna go to Bura..start a family....

 He tried to be tough... but his  eyes  brimmed.

  Lirg  limped over to Garrat  and sniffed around... the burning bodies  smelled good!

 Minnet  stood  near them , looking  around..

  Hemsley kicked in some  boards and Looked  at a  pair of Mercs who were trapped by a Beam.. they reached out to him.. he pulled the trigger of his  Greasegun...there were no more sounds...

 Hans  was near the Opening , Hemsly kicked in.

In reply to stem (msg # 77):

    Garrat nodded silently.  He'd been there, but telling the man that would not help his grief.  The best thing to do was remain as support.  Though his injury burned as he remained hunkered down next to the man, he remained, with his head bowed a witness to the grief around five minutes.  In the digital part of his mind, Garrat kept a file on every comrade lost in battle.  It literally manifested as a memorial wall.  This woman's name would be added when he learned it.  Now however was not the time.  Garrat slowly raised his head and asked quietly, "Can you carry her home?"

Hans allowed his rifle to drop hanging on its sling and drew his pistol and knife. He followed hemsley into the opening finishing any wounded he encountered except the first. The first he saved to interrogate. His knife bit quickly into the tendons of the side of the mans wrists rendering them useless to hold or operate a weapon of any sort. Then straightening he advanced slightly to the right of Hemsley. Keying his throat mic he spoke rapidly. Single tango alive but deactivated breach two two o clock low for pickup.
