“Get up man, get up!” I bellowed into Marvin's ears as I stuck his neck with the syringe and injected the stam fluid into his rushing bloodstream. His dull gaze sharpened and he coughed harshly, gasping for air. My servo arm twitched and buzzed to repair his cracked chest armor. He laughed and some blood shot out at my visor.
“Don't worry boss, agh, I got this.” I grasped his arm with my own natural and and lifted him up to his feet. Eagerly, he took up his iron sights and smash jumped through window to get inside. A frag blew a good chunk off the corner of the apartment complex that we were ducking behind, concrete and steel careened in a rotten haze. Rover was atleast 10 yards ahead of us, with Numb no doubt a few yards to his side. I could hear the chuk chuk, their shottys did more than make some noise. Gorge had the real firepower, fucking modified howitzer he had right there.
My headset crackled, “let's do this, move up now!”
“Roger!” resounded through my skull.
I moved with Gorge, running past crooked road blocks and tech wreckage. Shots clanked off my carapace, I grinned with the force, I let off a burst at the window of a two story building and savored the death scream, what can I say, it's my job.
“Hostiles 10 o' clock!” Rover wretched.
“Got 'em!” Gorge bellowed. That's how we advanced, Rover and Numb spotting, round 10 yards ahead of us and 10 from each other. Gorge and I stayed close, his MG and my tesla cannon blew them fuckers to shreds. Rover and Numb did okay too. The dead earth below us cracked with the impact of our heavy boots, thick chunks flew high with the pitter patter pitter patter o the reb fire.
“Ya'll can't hit the broad side a ya sister!” I said, they har harred at that. A wee wooden door creaked on it's hinges, Rover and Numb both shouldered it good and I heard their shottys burst nice right before Gorge and I got in. Even with the filter on my mask the place stunk, like some dozen rebs had shit all over and not bothered to wipe. It was dark as black too,
“Switching on night!”
“Switching on night!” I let off a good burst at some reb coming down the stairs, blind bastard.
“regroup, regroup.” I said, “Dammit boys take care of yourself. I took my kit off my back and cracked it open, stams, blobs and adrenals all nice and tidy. I ripped out a nice patch and squeezed it on Rover real tight, “Ah damn Boss!”
“Quit bitching, let'd finish this.” I stuck Gorge with some more juice, he'd been getting laggy somehow, (don't ask me why) he musta killed a couple a dozen fuckers if I counted right.
Go go I signalled and we moved up crouched, clearing the rooms of sneaky rebs.
“Stairs Rover.” He nodded and ran up there faster than a jack rabbit, blazing that shotty like it was Gorge's Howitzer, Numb followed up real fast and so did Gorge and I if I do say so myself.
Them rebs were dug in real nice, real nice. Gorge threw them incendiarys of his and they went screaming and flailing for their mommas. We were moving real nice when I saw him, that god damned son of a bitch with a bazooka, twice the size of him it was.
“Duck!” I yelled so loud it burned my cords. Rover and Numb were locked down, hell coming down their heads, then they saw him. I admire those boys, shit so deep you'd choke in it raining down their heads and they break cover to haul ass, damn fine fighting, they didn't stop shooting. Gorge kept shooting too, in the same place. That rocket came so fast him and me got no time to react and
Boom
that shit is all over us like a reb on his momma. My HUD is all fucked up and all I can see is the falling steel and concrete, Rover smashing through a window, and Gorge on his back with a real fucked look on his face, the kind that chills your spine and gets your blood all slow, makes you wanting a dozen stam needles right in your thumper. Damn even wanting the chest pump deep down in ya to keep ya fighting.
