Re: Night Moves
In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 404):
The hypervelocity round screamed out of the barrel, impacting the block of the second rig. The tractor visibly shuddered and smoke spurted out from beneath the hood. The rig slewed to the side, stricken.
From up above Peter Jane aimed the Ma-Deuce and let rip with a long burst. The red tracers zipped out, also finding the rear rig. Shots walked across the front hood, the cab, and then along the little bit of the right side that was visible, puncturing the fuel tank full of Spook Juice. Maybe a fuel line in the engine was ruptured by one of the 12.7mm rounds or the round from Crichton's Gauss rifle, but there was a flash and a double explosion. The first explosion started to flip the tractor over to it's left, then the second went off, lifting it clear from the pavement and sending it, flaming and spiralling, off the right hand shoulder and into the woods. Still on fire and airborne! The hitch sheared, trailer flipping up and back but still coming forward.
The shockwave and blast of heat was intense! Even though those coming up behind couldn't see the rig exploding they could hear it and see the pressure wave cause the branches to whip back and forth. An orange-green-black fireball whoomped up into the sky.
Marshall's Note: Everyone can roll for Initiative. The second vehicle will be there this turn, so post your arrival if that's your ride.
