Things were going dark at the edges of Opal's vision. The whole world was swimming through the cockpit's windshield. Right now, Opal wanted to just... sleep. No amount of the many exotic amphetamines that her PWN could produce could overcome that simple, lizard-brain impulse. Close your eyes, it seemed to say. Everything's hurting right now, but if you just close your eyes and sleep, it'll all go away. It'll be fine! Just fiiiiiine. See, the rest of the wreckers are handling it. Just go to sleep. It'll all be okay.

Opal's eyes snapped open, a blood vessel bursting. The other wreckers were clearing the core.

They were stealing her spotlight.

With an animalistic scream, Opal surged against the restraints of the rig's harness, willing it forward out of arrogance, pride, and above all else, spite. So loud was her cry it could be heard outside the rig, over the rushing of the encroaching vacuum, the roar of the Dragnslayer's thrusters, and LEO's dying screeches. She drove the lance into the shattering core with all the force she could get the rig to exert.

Councilman Six's feed was from somewhere else, another ship's bridge. The executive idly tossed That Hat up and down as he addressed a very specific Wrecker, "Spectacular work, Wrecker Opal. Do not allow the dunces with you take undue credit; this victory was all you. A shuttle will be awaiting you after your exfiltration and debriefing. We would like to provide you and you alone the most bespoke of detoxification experiences. It will be a wonderful time, this I guarantee."

There was a crack of gunfire from off screen. The flash of a muzzle illuminating the bridge for a fleeting moment. The dull thud of a collector's body hitting the floor.

PRIMEO Beff Yeetos smirked, finished his drink and got to his feet, stretching his well-sculpted body free of stiffness from the duration in which he'd sat there. He brushed an immaculate hand across non-existent hair - across a diamond-domed scalp. It had been some time he'd spent here now, working idly and remotely, observing the Wreckers and otherwise socializing with some of the high echelons of corporate power in the Decree.

The WCLTD sponsor lounge was not a usual hangout for the YeetCorp PRIMEO, but he found he'd desired an outing and the WCLTD invitation had been the first thing to appear on the available docket of distractions. His presence had been a mere express delivery away, so why not? The PRIMEO was glad it - by and large - had not disappointed.

"Another Zodiac down. Well done to the Wreckers - some more than others. I will have to decide who to send this YeetCorp Beta crate. Unless we pitch another dubious, debt-saddled candidate into the matches rather than merely patronizing one. I shall at least be interested to see if Shines-In-Heaven survives to assume our D-ed headhunter's misplaced filial obligations. That would be, ahah, amusing."

Beff maintained his smirk as he stepped over to a YeetCorp-brand launch pad - installed for the occasion of such a visit - and passed the gene-locks and a few other, less obtrusive, security mechanism. When it slid open he entered the cushy, cushioned luxury crash pod and strapped himself in. With a gesture and a wave, the blast doors surrounding the pod closed and the lounge rattled slightly as the PRIMEO shot off into the stars and parts unknown, hidden behind heavily encrypted and proprietary auto-trajectocalculatory algorithms, his pod joining other mass-driver launched packages traversing the distance between planets, stations and asteroids, cluttering up the space lanes but granting huge savings on intersystem shipment costs.

If Susan's offended by the higher-class sponsors engaging in their casual snubs, she doesn't show it. Obviously hobnobbing with the old money would be a wonderful opportunity, but... being a DeBlucch means understanding that one's place among the elite derives solely from money and skill, and almost nobody is excited about networking with a clan of biotech geniuses turned Horrifics. Or Horrifics turned biotech geniuses. Or... well, there are plenty of theories about where precisely her family had come from, but none of them are very savory. Poor Sidious. In some ways, he was the most DeBlucch of them all.

Nonetheless... "A fantastic time, everyone. What a delight! I can't wait to watch the exit interviews and, of course, see what's next. ... Will they pick up the vatman, too? It seems a shame to leave him. What an utterly singular creature."

They say that he who dies with the most Opil wins.

I am winning.



Stahl nods to Midge as he heads out. "You mentioned you had things you wished to discuss with me following the completion of CYST. Perhaps we can address that once you are finished with Pertinax." She then nods politely to Von Shussman. "I have no doubt I will see you next time around, Director. I wish a productive and profitable time to you."

Glistening with glory and or sweat, Lónan waves to the camera drones and does a signature, Simurghian salute before heading off to the strato-cradle for wreckstraction.
But after just a few steps out of frame, she stops, turns back towords the ticking time-bomb that is LEO, hefting her WARMAX and pointing it in LEO's general direction.

"You. Yes, you. Zodiac. Whatever is left of you inside that burnt out wreckage. You've been simurghed, shows over. There is no where left to run."

The Bounder drat near disintegrated from the force of LEO's impact, the cockpit falling apart around Opal as she was sent soaring. The first high-speed impact with the rapidly-deteriorating ground was absorbed by the remnants of the rig's roll cage. The second was her MBC clinging to her back and inflating its tumors to soften the blow. The third was the Aegisys, armored plating heating up as she skidded across frozen grease, out towards the roaring vacuum of space that was reaching out to meet her--and disqualify her.

Summoning reserves that she didn't know she had, Opal dug her armored fingers into the Meat, tearing a large fleshy gash into it, slowing, slowing... and coming to a stop just at the edge of the arena, barely holding against the flatulent wind trying to pull her out. That was it. There was nothing more she could do. This was how it ended. She was going to lose her grip and go tumbling out into space just like Theo--her enhanced eyes could just barely make out his tumbling form being scooped up by a recovery shuttle. All the effort for--

A triumphant little jingle sounded in her internal comms. The map was over. She'd done it. She'd won.


quote:



"Spectacular work, Wrecker Opal. Do not allow the dunces with you take undue credit; this victory was all you. A shuttle will be awaiting you after your exfiltration and debriefing. We would like to provide you and you alone the most bespoke of detoxification experiences. It will be a wonderful time, this I guarantee."

Opal grinned wickedly and punched the area victoriously, before quickly catching herself and clinging back on to give the approaching aeropath time to arrive.

"''bout time someone recognized it. Yeah. Yeah, I could use a couple letters right now. Some R's and Z's would be reaaal nice. Maybe the rest of the alphabet, too."

She released her grip on the meat only when the aeropath had firmly secured her tether to the ride out. Yeah. Time to relax.

She'd earned it.

An alarm signaled the end of the map, and with that the current season. Vatman exchanged a stiff nod with the mutandi, as they ceased their attack and started to trundle towards the employee break room. As for Vatman himself, he merely arranged all of the junk he'd found into a neat pile, and tagged it for some scrip.

Barely enough to get him out of here with the bare necessary tools for survival.

He'd leave CYST behind like so, a third of the way through his career.

With 3.4% of what he needed to be allowed a retirement.

This would have been a sad fact of life, for anyone that held any expectations for theirs. Vatman, thankfully, was free of such burdens.

"Two maps in a row the wreckers who've worn Galaxploitation branded clothes have survived and won. Survival has never been so sexy. Order yours today, enjoy feeling like you're wearing nothing at all while still conforming to public decency codes that give us a monopoly on nudity. And always remember, Galaxploitation takes good care of their stars as long as they continue to perform."

Shay D. switched off the broadcast. It wasn't enough, Galaxploitation could've had WCLDT by the indeterminable mutated protuberances if only the wreckers had made contact with the meatball's brain. Maybe the next map would pay off, just the matter of finding someone who was about to fail their next performance review.

Stick a fork in another one, Rev.
A grilling display of prowess, Haze. The steaks were high, but the Wreckers displayed rare skill.
Well done.
But this was just a warm-up, Haze. If these shoot-larvae want to chew through their coccoons of weakness and self-doubt to become the terrible murderflies they long to be, they'll have to pull out all the stops.
It won't get any easier; they'll definitely have to GLOW for it. But until then, keep sidearms in view...
Because it might just be you...

They say that he who dies with the most Opil wins.

I am winning.



Director Stahl looks over her Concordant Coordinator at the aftermath of CYST. Her sponsored Wrecker survived and extracted with some very effective equipment, which might aid future survival, but she's behind the curve on retirement. Concordant's partnership with Mariner Arms- although it seems early to say- has some preliminary signs of the research data potentially being of use, while the Concordant Company itself has been trying to upsell WCLTD on delivery drone designs, making use of Concordant expertise in utility robotics. And, despite the mismatch between the Concordant corporate image and that of Wrecking Crew, the extraordinary popularity of Wrecking Crew and Concordant's role as a steady, responsible sponsor has so far been a public relations success that appeared to be driving increased consumer demand.

All in all, Hilde Stahl was satisfied with the outcome of the Concordant sponsorship deal, and made arrangements to renew the sponsorship deal for the next map of Wrecking Crew.

Voting for 3 research credits to be applied to DPM Rifle Reroll, and 2 credits to be applied to delivery drone capacity.
