The rumbling was audible even over the howling of the Ruststorm, and the heads-up on the stand issue comms just confirmed it. Cancer was in play. The robot cancer, not the disease cancer. Well, if someone had wandered into the rad zone then that kind of cancer was probably in play too, but that wasn't the point right now. The point was, now there was a deadline. The longer they stuck around, the more likely it became that they got crushed by a giant crab-bot. Thankfully, judging by the sound, it was some ways off. They'd still have time to grab the treasure. First, though...

"Ruststorm's not getting any better!" Stev shouted over the rising wind. "You guys, get to the wreck, keep those mechs intact! We're going to need them to crack that vault! I''m going to go ahead and pick through that supply drop! Might be something in there that helps us out!"

He pressed a fistful of luxe into each of their hands, tossed a fuel tank to Midge, and strode out into the rust. It was times like this that really made you appreciate a good hat.

Giving 2 luxe each to Midge and Cryo, and giving Midge 3 Fuel. Then I'll head to 04.09

He could feel himself overheating. He couldn't stay here.

Kal Risso had sought out secret riches and he'd gotten what he'd come for. It was time to leave this rusted out shell of a hellhole before it got even more dangerous. Kal's first instinct was to get himself and his trusty squidpack exfiltrated from the arena of Salt as safely and as quickly as possible. The problem was: would any of the sponsors ever go for that? It was unlikely - most sponsors only cared about their favorite Wreckers because they wanted to see them get forced into situations involving mayhem, explosions, body modification and bloodshed, whereas the others... they wanted to see a story, they wanted to root for a hero, they wanted to see those heroes get dashed against the rocks of impossibility again and again and again and somehow emerge from it all bloodied but alive. Kal had succeeded in his mission with the Derelict and he'd gotten good and bloodied in the process, but it was simply unheard of to ask to leave the game's arena so early, especially now that the beacon's been activated. Ready or not, big boy mecha-Cancer was primed and coming for them all.

Kal Risso swore an oath as he climbed out of the Derelict and directly into the red thickness of a violent rust storm. He dropped to the salty, rust-blown land below and regained his bearings from what few landmarks he could make out, trudging off in the direction he'd originally come from.

Once he hit dry land, however, Kal completely his lost all sense of direction. Being stuck in the middle of the rust storm meant his Comms tablet was being even less helpful than usual. He went with the age-old practice of letting chance decide his fate. He flipped a coin and follow its marker's bearing...

Where does Kal turn? 1 = Left, 2 = Right: 1d2 2

He followed that bearing until he saw something noteworthy in the distance.

Bobby-Jack stood still, gripping his rifle in silence as he stared at the mechanical horror he had summoned. Was he quieted in deep strategic thought, or merely frozen in fright? Almost certainly the latter. But then again. Maybe it wasn't? At least totally. Perhaps some glimmer of the soldier that fought in the Moon Wars could manifest from behind the thick membrane of craven cowardice?

One could hope, at least.

In the end, Stev almost tripped over the box as he stumbled through the storm. Visibility had gotten even worse as he'd pressed on past the wreck; he was going to have to hunker down here for a bit if he didn't want to get lost. Still, as miserable as it was, it was nothing that a Wreckmas present couldn't fix! Pulling off a glove, he pressed it against the box's palm reader, and crossed his fingers for luck.

"HO HO HO, MERRY WRECKMAS!" The box blared out into the wind "YOUR ANTERIOR SUB-BRAIN HAS BEEN VERY NAUGHTY INDEED!"

itsheadtakesitsheadtakeitsHEAD! the Voice whispered.

Naughty or Nice?: 1d6 6

"BUT YOU, STEV... WHY, YOU'VE BEEN EVEN NICER THAN YOUR SUB-BRAIN HAS BEEN NAUGHTY! A VERY MERRY WRECKMAS PRESENT TO YOU!"

With an inaudible hiss, the box popped open, and Stev eagerly tore away at the wrapping paper, it had been worth being good! His parents had been right all along! Gently, reverently, he reached in and pulled out...

Squinting, Kal Risso strode through the dusty corridors of yet another ancient shipwreck, seeking scrap, salvage and salvation from the rust storm.

When he saw something vast and misshapen squirming in the shifting rust-sands ahead, Kal dove for cover and stayed there, slowing his breath. He tapped into the local botnet for area visuals, scanning the area for signs of movement from within the storm. Five total heat signals showed up on his ocular readout (including himself), three of them were roughly man-sized, one of them was larger and swollen, and the last was... yet another tongue-lashing scaled monstrosity?!? Why did it always have to be squamous horrors?

This was not a safe place to be. Not at all. Kal had better places to be and further treasures to find.

First things came first: he was going to get revenge on the horror that bit him.

He pulled the zipcord on his trusty Squidpack and left the mutant brigade far behind him in a choking, blinding cloud of blackness.

Bobby-Jack leered at the giant rig before him, nodded, and beat a tactical retreat with his trusty squidpack.

"Only idiots and fools would fight a zodiac head on", he announced to the camm droids as he moved under the cloud's cover, "Nah, see, against something that big and powerful? You fight as unfair as you possibly can. That's survivalist 101 stuff right there, folks. If you play dirty enough, even big guys like this here thing fall just fine."

"Of course, in favor of expedience, yours truly could use a lot of punch in a tight package to crack this crab. If any of our venerable sponsors wish to see their goods in particular bring the pain on Cancer, I'll try my very best to give you a show worthy of your time with it."

If any sponsors could throw Bobby-Jack a Coffin Nail so that I can actually really hurt Cancer when I attack it without this all taking like a million turns, then that would be nice.

He switched the come back to low range, time to try a different tactic.

Pointing the Stinger at Agent Delta, Doobrie shouted over the comms.

"Squed awoi. Naaahw. Or oil froi yew were yew steenhd."

The barrel of the Stinger crackled.

On his approach, Kal Risso moved silently and swiftly under the cover of the swirling sands, making headway toward a familiar landmark that loomed in the distance. It jutted out from the encroaching sandstorm like a rigid spike of ancient metal: the massive crane stood there, imposing, groaning in the whipping wind. Directly beneath it was the scaly monstrosity that had lashed and mangled Kal so horribly and swallowed his supply drop from Rook-Eng-Org. Kal mentally marked the region off on his readouts and and backed off to the outermost range of the beast's senses. Visibility was extremely low, which had worked in his favor. The squamous horror hadn't noticed him, which was good.

Time to take this nice and slow. Kal began searching the area for something that might be of use to him...

He frowned as the dual death-beacons pinged, right on the Wreckmas beacon. Glancing across to Cryo, he shook his head and called up the map, touching on 06:09 and then 07:07. It might take some yelling to keep Stev in the loop as well, but his lungs were good for it.

As Kal Risso traced his route through the scattered wreckage, the corners of his rebreather mask turned slightly in a frown. He'd been planning something big in this region, but now that the rust storm was diminishing, he no longer had a suitable defense against the longer-ranged mutants in this region. That meant that the squamous horror he'd encountered along with those mutants could probably seek him out if he stayed put for too long.

He didn't intend to stay here much longer, that was for sure. He dragged the last component into place and stepped back, admiring his handiwork. It was time to move.

Bobby-Jack made no movement from his chosen nest, merely observing Cancer and its doings with his binoculars in total silence.

Huh, still alive. Still Scramble, even.

Only momentarily shocked, Scramble lunges to one side of a bumbling mutie and hip slides over the hood of a wrecked car. She isn't a distance runner but should be able to dodge these drem-leavings for at least a while.

Move 10.07 to 11.06

As she runs, Scramble ignores the blinking death notice on her wristcomp. The longer she avoids looking at it the longer she can pretend her ally had used her distraction to make it somewhere safe instead of... whatever happened.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

[STEV ANSAHOK / HP: 4 / MOVE: 2 / 7L, 7F / CYBER: RIG JACK /MUTATION: AMYGDALIC HYPERCEPHALY]

While his face wasn't visible, Stev's posture noticeably brightened as he saw Cryo and Midge.

"Oh, hey! Wasn't sure you guys were going to come this way, it's good to meet up with you again! Let's try and keep this detour short, my fingers are itching for whatever's in that--"

Suddenly, the annoying whisper of the sub-brain became a deafening roar as a Beta Enforcer stepped out from behind a wall, armaments at the ready.

"IN THAT HEAD! YOUR SKULL! GIVE ME YOUR SKULL!" Stev cried as he suddenly found himself rushing recklessly into the fray, the swings of his hammer going wide in his frenzy. Inwardly, he reflected that this might be something of a problem in the future, but that would have to wait until he had that precious skull in his hands.

Hammer Time!: 1d8 3

Already in a bad mood, Scramble begins ranting as several mutant grunts move to bar her path.

"drat uncurated gene tweakers. 'Boohoo, I've been exposed to mutagens. Do I do the responsible thing and get nu-helix treatment? Learn self encoding meditation? Go so far into debt while attempting to reach apotheosis that bloodsports are one's only recourse? No! I gibber and drool in someone else's way until they get fed up and shotgun my face off.'"

Scramble punctuates this diatribe by shotgunning several faces off.

Bobby-Jack peered from the top of a ruined apartment building as the Survey Remote surfaced exactly where he thought it would. And with a great heave, he pushed the wreck of a destroyed crane to fall down...

Down...

And impact the ground, a good ten meters to the side of the thing. Bobby-Jack cringed. And all the enforcers were looking that way now too.

Well, time to make himself scarce!

No no no no no no no no!

Kal Risso muttered curses under his breath as the Squamous Horror simply bounded past his carefully-laid ambush as if nothing had been in its way at all. Kal had no reason to stick around here... If he wanted to get at those goods the horror had swallowed up, he had better come back with increased firepower.

Well, the big guy should still be somewhere hereabouts. Now he just had to wait and see if the remote came back to trigger a second expertly laid trap. What were the chances he'd fail twice in a row, after all?

There was nothing here - nothing here at all. Nonetheless, Kal had to keep moving, had to keep on the go, had to always be trying to find more goods that could be salvaged for scrap. He cast his eyes about the cracked desert, searching for anything of value.

Scramble keeps her shotgun trained on the mutant as the two other bodies hit the floor.

"I'd be scavenging this zone right now if it wasn't for your demi-human rear end trying fruitlessly to gnaw through my carapace."

She fumbles at her wrist comp with her free hand. Maybe the weather had cleared enough for a decent scan.
