"Hola, kamerad(in?). That's some real niesamowite gear you've got, but my wallet's a bit gwag right now if you know what I mean. I don't suppose you take electronic transfers do you? Well, anyways, might want to keep your head down for the near future, some real Перхоть подзалупнаыа fuckers are gonna be lighting this hex up and I gotta return the favor."

With that, Cryo splashed over to the bank of the toxic river and started throwing spears downrange. The Hulking Warpoon felt strangely right in her claws, and it performed beautifully. Cackling gleefully, she watched through her scope as the Mastermind's braincase spectacularly blew out in a cloud of sparkling purple energies, and the panicked chaff were pinned to various landscape features as they scrambled futilely for cover. Gods, the last time she'd had this much fun was.... well, ok, about an hour ago when she first got to test her new arms, but this was a damned close second.

Hm. A guard detail had appeared since their last visit. No matter. They had the means to engage.

Bobby-Jack sneaked behind the rigs standing guard, and forced unto the surface of his skin one of his many new glands. It started to secrete a gaseous, yet invisible substance that would soon enough find itself inside the cockpits of the rigs before them.

The beta was closer than the flanking gammas, so at least it ought to be affected. That was the important part, since both him and Lucinda were heavily armored enough to shrug off the gammas easily enough. With the Beta out of the way, Lucinda should be able to engage safely.

Bobby-Jack gave Lucinda a signal from his spot, quickly flashed the Beta with his targeting marker, and gave a thumbs up.

Bobby-Jack grinned with wry amusement as the Beta flailed at phantoms while he circled back to Lucinda's position, only grunting slightly as a round from a Gamma ricocheted off his shoulder plate. It would only leave a bruise, nothing worse.

"Right", he said whilst inserting the mutagen injectors into his left arm in a procedure that was becoming very familiar, "I've got a couple scopes, this sample, and some incidental scrap I'd like for you to wire on my account. I'd appreciate you doing that if you're screwing around with the Crucible?"

Bobby-Jack shook his head slightly. His own words seemed loud, as if his hearing had suddenly gotten far better. He could feel the tremors from the rigs too, even if he was currently hiding behind a rock.

...It was a good looking rock, now that he looked at it properly. A good hiding place with some work, perfect for dropping on someone unannounced. Yes, perfect to creep up on them and force his claw into their spine.

Bobby-Jack shook his head again. He had already gotten used to the heightened senses, but the invading thoughts and newfound, uncanny intuition on potential hiding places was feeding on his natural paranoia and cravenness so fiercely that he doubted they would be going away for a long time.

Well well well, that Manhunter was proving smarter than he looked. Not that he was particularly threatening, but Cryo already had enough balls in the air that a persistent pursuer was not at all welcome. She kept her head down to avoid any more sniper fire and juiced up her spine, paying particular attention to any sybterranean echoes from the hex Pertinax was so interested in.

Scramble touches down cursing. She stalks back and forth along the ice, pontificating on the situation. Unpredictable death robots committing carnal acts upon themselves feature heavily in this dialog. Two mutants creep up, distracted from doing some mutant stuff in whatever hole they crawled out of. Scramble doesn't stop her pacing. One hand shoots out to point at the beefier looking of the pair, accompanied by a wave of psychic influence.

"You. Serve me."

Slack-jawed the manhunter nods. Scramble points at the other.

"You. Vector off."

The grunt slinks back into a rust streaked ice cave. Scramble taps a thoughtful finger on the underside of her mask. Well, at least she had finally gotten the hang of that trick. And getting help with the Zodiac had always been part of the plan. She had just wanted to land a big hit to make it easier for the others to swarm the thing and get off this frozen rock. It looks like it wouldn't be that easy.

Bobby-Jack peered over the rock at the rigs.

"...Actually, scratch that. I'm pretty sure I can only take on the Beta on my next attck run. The Gammas have dispersed too far to be taken simultaneously. At least the only actual threat here will be destroyed. As for you", Bobby-Jack looked her rig over, "...I suggest evasion. That thing you have is really shiny, but it can't take... I'd say more than one burst from a Beta class autogun."

The rig lurches to one side, phasing.

Whoa.
He checked his account balance, blinking incredulously at some of the latest adds, crestfallen at a betrayal credit for injuring Stev, although dumping a load of Luxe in the hex might soften that blow. Midge eyed the remaining muties warily, and cranked up his antenna gain.

Scan!

Wishlist: That was one hell of a trick shot. Anyone want to dabble in rig repair? Edit: Ooh, nearly forgot! Someone blat me an optiscope for my virus?

"What in the seventeen jovian hells was that?"

But of course there's no reply as Scramble is once again alone. She stares at the evaporating puddle of exotic matter that was her newly enslaved ally.

"Fine. Message received, universe. Scramble is solo. Fine."

She taps on her wristcomp, trying to get a bead on the Zodiac to see which path it had taken from the caldera. As an offhand to a camera drone she adds, "Any fine orbital bartenders know how to make a three mile island ice tea? I'm asking for mutagens again, dear sponsors, as companionship seems to be a bust."

Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?



[CRYO / HP: 5/6 / MOVE: 3 / FUEL: 0 / LUXE: 010 / SQUIDPACK STATUS: FULL / CYBER: SPINAL ANTENNA, EYEGEAR, THREADED VISUALIZER, OVERCLOCKED GENERATOR, BIGGER GOODBYE / MUTATIONS: TRAUMATIC SCLERODERMA, EXTREMOPHILE, CHILD OF THE ATOM, BESTIAL FUGUE, ABHORRENT RENDING, ABLATIVE LIMB, CADDISFLY KID]

Well, turns out that sheer cliff face really was just rock and not a cleverly disguised vault entrance. It had to be around here somewhere, but Cryo would have to look harder. In the meantime, though, she sat down against a convenient boulder for a quick breather and some quality mutagen time. They were going down smoother and smoother with every new enhancement, but there was still the occasional bout of geneshock.

This one, though.... hell, it was almost professional grade. No horrific side effects, no potentially fatal hemorrhages, no writhing about screaming in a pool of toxins, no nothing. Just a quick chirp from her integration module (since when did she have an "integration module"?) and some scrolling text across her retinal inlays about intersynovial autotomic sphincters and a quick tutorial video on how to use her new adhesive glands to improvise combat armor out of scrap. She could get used to this kind of treatment.

Lotta sponsors want to have that interesting look chunk of <word obscured by static> taken right off the field. That sounds boring to me, let's have some fun with it first! See what it's good for!

Use the Exotic Matter Slug as a fist-weight to punch someone. Or something.
