Augs [1/1]: Charged Myoservos (LVL1) (Subject ignores the first downscale against them in a Round.)

A loud drone echoed through the depths. Wreckin' Crew was callin' time. Beaufer had time enough for one last bit of unfinished business. He removed what remained of Calamity Jane from his pocket. Fer a second, before the camera panned away, you could see him opening his mouth. A horrible maw, deeper and blacker than a starless night.

When the floating eye's gaze returned to him, the purple stuff was gone.

"...nn."

Adrift in the dark, trailing ink. All but out of luck and swears. Beaten, bloody and bloody disappointed. Gatta came to. She checked the clock. She checked her DVEye. She flipped off anyone bored enough to watch the denouement. J-17's 'wrecker down' signal was noted with a disappointed, angry burble.

"Nujeans. Shame dey was such a rekpal off starten, or I'dda shot dey humpty dumpty rear end off back when it was worth."

She rolled around in the water, saw that kill-cad Beaufer lift something familiar to the awful mug beneath the mask. At least there were scans of something AoT was extra liable to pay for - at cost, and at risk. She hated getting roped back into academia like this, but sometimes there just were no better options, down in the depths.

"Ey dere, 'liza. And ta. Again."

She floated past while the datastream percolated through her. Facing upwards - best she could tell. Her brutalized body protested as she cracked her neck and began to speak in a surprisingly conversational tone as she began passing out the details of her final ACT - a microtort.

"Teuthistek - ya got good squiddan, but crappa credkeepen. Gatta's seen enuffa it now. See what de law decrees, ey?"

I remember the deep crushing depths of the ocean. I remember the feeling of fleeing and stumbling in cold dark spaces to reclaim that was mine and yet falling in the face of a fate that saw fit to throw me to the wolves at every step, until being unceremoniously cut down by mercenary cowards whilst unarmed and unprotected.

I did not reclaim my swords in the end but now, I don't need them any more.

I am my own sword.

"She flies still, yet does not land. That must change - one way or the other. We will graciously sponsoiree some mandatory updown-grades and a obligatory remedial class in Rektology.

Leaving us all with a smidge more than the usual nothing for the gracious trouble of sponsoring ungraceful Wreckers."

"And smash her with it?"

The sting of defeat, Haze, can it be salved with the sheen of rebirth? Can our latest clutch of wrecklings tear the cauls from their tender flesh and flex boldly into the light?
Doubtful, Rev, but they’ll certainly throw a few thousand DPM parabellum downrange in the attempt.
And where, pray havoc, in what grimy hellscape will that ordnance be seeking quivering foemeat?
In such wrektological inquiries, lifetakers par excellence and Round 2 meatsquibs alike all seek the counsel of Forward Observer Eurydice Mann-Chong.
Then lay on, O Maiden of Beginnings, and peel back our ignorance with your fact-flechettes.

Howdy-hayou, binch-martens!


Ocho, my immaculate fēngzi! Also Hazel, as contractually obligated. Pour your turbid gaze-matrix into the ocular suck-hole that is...MIRE!



I'm not legally permitted to say that the tides have claimed the stank-rear end carcass of DeltaDyne’s Habdustrial Prosperplex, as WCLTD now has the legal rights to that property firmly in loving hand, and we’re going to blow the fucktiplied bejesus out of it.

There are a few Buildings here and there that haven’t been picked clean of five-round discounts, but caveat your emptor, wreckbabies, because they’re full of wibblies and gribblies, and possessed of a nasty case of about-to-fall-over-itis. Keep your blinkers unblunked, and you might be able to RegistR your GLOBline or find an Emergency Supply Drop Transponder…or find yourself in the sights of the ruthless GUNMAN rig.

Get your feet wet in the Shallows, but the rills have Eyes, and these synthetic sentinels have gone feral from lack of maintenance…and love. Fight through the horrors and gangs of genodiverse hunter-trappers, but careful not to find yourself in the lair of the MOTHER EYE.

It’s real nice and squishy down in the titular Mire, and you’ll find the locals to be sporiffic hosts. You’ll lose your boots, you’ll lose your ride, and you might lose more than that if you run afoul of the spleechers. But you’ll wish your rear end was just getting spleeched if you wind up being entertained in the court of the SANGUESSA.

If you’re looking for a spot of fishing, or just to cool off after being extremely on loving fire, take a dip in the Deeps. Just don’t be surprised if some experimental cyberlife takes a cheeky nibble on your toes, or your legs, or your xiphoid process. Dive for forgotten treasures, maybe even restart a Sunken Reactor. But the sensor echo of the BETA RAY is lying in wait, and you’ll be lying as bait.

But it’s not all fungal infections and savage maulings, my precious sweet dangles…All the usual amenities are here. You've got your Luxe Crucible in which to shovel all that delicious scrap and reap the rewards beyond. You've got your Rig Silo, for all your rig launching and customizing needs. Your handy the Fabric8R is here, if you need an extra (giant, robotic) hand with some arts and crafts. And of course, what WRECKING CREW map would be complete without the Z-Beacon, bracket slash rhetorical bracket?

Coherently raconteured, Eury. Did your PWN finally get your dopamine-attention matrix dialed in?

The only stimulant I need is your sultry indifference, Hazel. I’ll pretend you asked about the Zodiac, because Zodiac I’ve got. An old favorite, fresh out of the murderbank with a fresh coat of GoreGard. Dehumanize and return to crab, wreckbabies, because there’s only one cure for this CANCER!


There’s no ink-stained lone gunman to save you. CANCER’s back with vengeful intentions, and a few new tricks.
Crab a front-row seat for this one, wreck-fans, it’ll be a shell of a time.


There you have it, parasocial friend-units. Use that information well, if you were able to parse any of it.
Admit it, Haze: You adMIRE the way my Map Reports crab the attention.
And you’ll admire HALCYON SUNRISE, the freshest Drop Cocktail from Paragon Recreational Genetics. Four hours of limbic leisure, jacked right into your adrenoducts as you rocket toward destiny.
Perfection isn’t born, but it can be rented.

The pod impacts in fetid murk with a surprisingly subdued thud. It sits simply for several seconds, before opening up like a swamp lotus, alongside musical accompaniment. And in the middle of holographic petals floats R0ZEG0LD, suspended midair, lit up by her stage, eyes closed and hands upon her brooch.

"EVEN✨ FROM THE DEEPEST🌊 DARK⬛"

"WE💕 RISE🎆"

Gently, she floats downwards, until her feet make landfall.

"EVEN✨ AGAINST THE FIERCEST🗡 FOE💀"

"WE💕 PREVAIL🔥"

She opens her eyes, and starts walking towards the edge of her makeshift podium.

"FROM✨ THE BROKEN💘 SHARDS💎 OF FALSE🖤 REALITIES⭐"

"WE💕 RE-EMERGE☀️"

R0ZEG0LD cracks a smile and makes a peace sign at the nearest camdrone, and steps off the platform.

"TROUPE✨ DIVERS💗 ASTRA🌟 MAGIA🪄"

"READY✨ FOR AN💗 ENCORE~🎶"

"TO✨ REFLECT✨ THE LIGHT☀️ OF HOPE🌠 ONCE MORE~🎶"

Give yer ears a little tickle.

Beau Jinks screamed. Getting a bit borin' I know, but there's only two things you can do when His Cabal consigns you to the Halls of Epiphany. Scream with the choir or again' it, and brother? You don't wanna know what happens to the folks who choose the latter. What felt like eternities to Beau passed before hooded ritualists completed his humilation by branding the outlaw's face, cutting off his hammer cockin' thumb, and deeming him Unworthy. Almost as if it were on a schedule, a strange thing happened. A voice from beyond echoed through the Halls. A harsh drone not unlike a damned train derailin'.

Ack, sorry. Got another drat bug in my mouth. Odd saloon y'all got here but the whiskey flows quickly and freely so I can't complain too much. Now, where was I? Right, so nobody knows where Ol' Beaufer went after DEEP timed out, only that there was a big cloud of black ichor where he was last seen standin' and his enclosure at the Shame Cairn set empty in between episodes. I'll reckon he got called to the Silent Plains and they did, uh, their thing on him because come MIRE it looked like he got trampled by a mare. So he's riding his drop pod down, starin' at nothing and clutchin' this VinDeez xXxjug like it's his momma's tit, quiet as the grave.

He sat in silence the whole way down, only breaking it to drunkenly mumble, "Just had to be the Goddamn wet again." He'd be gone before the pod even landed.

It should've stayed buried.
But someone just had to go looking.

Emerging from the pod slowly, with a thin layer of mist and a short string of Spanish Guitars from an unknown speaker emerges, The MataDOS, striking a languid pose that one might escribe to a very tired looking librarian who may have been dragged back from the oblivion of death to take part in another round of blood sport.

Squelching out across this fresh new hell, the MataDOS takes stock of his surroundings.

The drop-pod descends to the roar of a crackling fire. There is a pleasant hum. The drop-pod has no shadow, rather, it glowing, like a shooting star.

It impacts the whet moistly with little fanfare and then simply melts away, leaving a dark outline of a space-suit burnt into the now solidified mud around the would-be-crash-zone.

Elsewhere, Solar Flexus appears, smile first like the Cheshire Cat, in a silent flash that leave the camdrones spinning and confused.
