It wasn't exactly hard to make the Enforcer look like a hunk of disabled scrap laying by the vault door--it was already most of the way there, after all. He took deep breaths as he prepared himself for what was coming, and then held his breath as the squad... no, that was a proper assault force approached. He couldn't see Cryo or Midge from where he was positioned; only the hulking mass of the Beta Gunman as it approached to investigate.

Closer... closer... The moment was going to be soon...

Just waiting!

By the time Kal Risso had gotten the hang of piloting his shiny new Enforcer rig, the Newtype blood pumping though his veins and filling his brain with knowledge had returned to their normal, much less psychoactive state. Furthermore, his nose had stopped bleeding, which was nice!

"Let's take this baby for a joyride - see how fast this thing can run!"

On robotic legs of polymetallics, Kal Risso and the Beta Enforcer bounded across the desert towards the prizes he knew were waiting for him in the distance.

Now!

He deployed the deployable cover such that it shielded the team, then using all his Junker talents, looked to blast one of the Gammaswith the Wwizard shotgun and rampage over onto the second, looking to deny them both a chance to act. It was go time, life or death, but either way they were going to put on one hell of a show!

Deploy deployable cover for the whole team. Attack Gamma Crawler 1 with the Shotgun, invoking the Junker ability to deal double damage and prevent it from acting. Rampaging into Gamma Crawler 2 to prevent it from acting. Shotgun the Gamma Crawler, then if hit rampage the other Gamma Crawler: 1d10 1 Oh well, good thing the Junker ability doesn't specify needing to hit...

Kal Risso found the place just as he left it... except now he was the only living person here.

Safely encased within the protective bubble of his enforcer rig, Kal Risso stepped up to the Wreckmas Pressie's alignment scanners and allowed the festive green and red hyperlaser-fields to pass over him without a second thought.

Cryo was alerted that the ambush had begun when Midge's wild blast had nearly demolished her instead. But, there was a bunker to hide in, and there were enemies to slaughter, and there was loot to be squabbled over. Today was a good day to die.

The Beta was practically on top of Stev when he finally pulled at the controls, and brought his rig thundering to life. Its arms reached up, latching on to the enemy as his own hatch popped open to reveal Stev at the ready, the cameras capturing a gleaming spike protruding from his palm and the momentary flash of a grin on his perpetually-shadowed face.

"Told you this would pull me through! This frag brought to you courtesy of my good friend Doctor Yith!" he shouted as he plunged the spike into the machine. His eyes crossed in concentration as a wave of information flowed over him, and he fought to reprogram the thing. It wouldn't last forever, but it would sure last long enough! He released the Beta, which stood up jerkly at first, but then smoothly turned and started raining gunfire down on the mutants. That done, he sent his own rig crashing into a Crawler, his hammer crushing effortlessly through its optical sensors before he pulled back into cover.

This was going to be some drat good television.

They even make slap patches, nanite infused one-shot medkits, suspended animation bags and field trauma autodocs. Their passion is helping people put holes in other people, but sometimes, they help patch those holes up. And sometimes, just sometimes, they send experimental regenerative nano-infusions.

He exhaled, surveying the carnage. That Enforcer had finally given up the ghost, but Stev seemed otherwise unharmed. A lone Mutie still there, so they couldn't risk going through the plunder just yet. He sprinted for the Beta Gunman whilst it was still suborned, talking to the camera drone ahead of him,

"Quite the fireworks, yes? Three heavy-duty Beta rigs, a full trio of the smart kind of Mutie, and a futuristic hypercop, but not one of us Wrecking Crew took as much as a scratch. That's what Pertinax Ammofab did for us, and that's what Pertinax Ammofab can do for you."

"Hell yeah! That's how it's done!" sure, Stev's rig had finally given up the ghost, but that was hardly surprising. And it was the only casualty, to boot. They'd made it out unharmed. Well, so far at least.

As the others started cracking the disabled rigs, Stev stepped out from the thoroughly-scorched cover and swaggered up to the remaining mutant, who appeared to be in the process of reloading.

"Look, I'm going to be honest. It's not looking good for you! I get that you had to do the whole "defend the vault" thing, and you came in with good backup, had us outnumbered, all good. And then we wrecked your poo poo, jacked your rigs, your buddy decided to buzz off to snipe at us--which isn't going to work out for him, if you ask me--and you're here all by your lonesome! Now, you can stick around and try and fight us, and get your head pulped... orrrrrrrr you can call a 'tactical retreat', fake a comms failure, and chill for a while while we clear the place out, and you'll be alive at the end of this.

Kal Risso couldn't believe his luck today. All in one fell swoop he'd seemingly stolen a Beta Enforcer, scrapped a Gamma Enforcer, and received a rig-ripper for being on the Wreckmas nice list, all in one day! And Now? He'd gotten himself a Medikit delivered to him directly by drone, complete with all the derma-patches, wound-caulk, and experimental anti-xenobiotics he could ask for. How absolutely perfect!

He jacked his Comms tablet into his rig's radio deck and started blasting some of his favorite ancient Earth tunes from the Beta Enforcer's mounted bullhorn speakers. He pointed the Enforcer's pilot-cam directly at himself and went into his spiel:

"G'day, g'morning and g'druska, folks watching at home!

The earth shook as Cancer made its way towards the hunting grounds, coming to inspect the silo its remote drone had found Bobby-Jack in. Except Bobby-Jack wasn't in the silo anymore. He was hiding before a little rock, managing a grin despite the deep gash on his side. He put a finger in front of his mouth as he faced a nearby cam-droid, as if to usher the audience into silence.

"A lil' lesson from your good friend Bobby-Jack, kids, if you're still watching. A lesson about life, something that I've learned", he pat his side, where the wound was, "First: You've only got so much blood in ye. Don't let anybody convince you to throw it away unless the payoff is truly worth it."

"And second", he brandished his rifle. Observant readers might notice it hadn't been fired once during the entire game, "Supplies are precious", he took the P.A.F. Hyperannihilator round, and brought it close to the droid for some detailed footage. Gingerly, he loaded it into his battered rifle. He set the rifle on the stone, taking a look at the giant rig that was near the silo he had looted a while back.

"So learn to make them count. Fight smart. Not hard."

Bobby-Jack pulled the trigger, slamming the bullet straight into the very front of Cancer, the hyperalloy tip penetrating a good 10 inches into the frontal armor. Not something that would phase something like Cancer.

The resultant mini-nuke as the experimental isotope mix underwent rapid fission, however, did. The entire frontsection of Cancer was blown to smithereens, exposing most of its internals. Internals that suffered total structural failure as Cancer staggered backwards due to the force of the blow, right into the silo, and caused the whole thing to topple on top of it.

A mechanical leg twitched from under the rubble. Once. Twice.

Then no more.

"And third", Bobby-Jack said, a smile creeping on his face. "Always, always shoot to kill."

"Bobby-Jack out."

Stev smiled as the mutant turned to peacefully walk off, then frowned as the bunker buster blew the vault wide open, taking the mutant with it. He was lucky to have the wreck of the Enforcer between him and the blast, and to have been facing away from the vault.

"Well... wasn't my fault, at least. Although what is going to be my fault..." Stev unslung his rifle and slapped his scope onto its rails, peering down it into the distance. "Yeah, easy does it... not going to give you a chance to muck things up for us here..."

Just two mutants standing between Scramble and some loot.

Rampage!

Scramble misses as someone sets off a nuke on the battlefield. Well hell, that was probably the boss.

Loadout: Squidpack, DPM Rifle, Rig-Ripper, Medikit (X), Patient Zero, Brachial Spurs, Nuclear Reservoir: 1

Kal Risso crested the desert hill in his Beta rig, only to encounter a familiar monstrous sight tucked within a vast crevice cracked into the desert plain: yet another gods-be-damned Squamous Horror! What had Kal done to deserve this? The scaly thing started unfolding itself from its nether-space, its eyes wildly swiveling around in its sockets, its nostrils flaring and its tongue slavering with a faintly glowing secretion.

It had heard Kal Risso's approach, and now it was seeking out prey.

Fight or flight? This was the fourth Squamous Horror Kal had encountered, and he knew first-hand they were particularly tough customers and devilishly tricky to escape.

Inside his rig-pod, Kal Risso flipped a coin to see what he'd do.

Heads (1): Test Out Rig-Ripper, Tails (2): Bobby-Jack Special: 1d2 1

Kal Risso broke out the rig-ripper attached to his Beta Enforcer's mecha-gauntlet and took it for a spin.

"You said you wanted some Squamous Horror hide, PAFS director? How about a first offering?!"

He leapt down into the abyss and revved up the rig-ripper to blinding speed.

Rig-Ripper on the Fourth Squamous Horror: 1d8 5

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

[STEV ANSAHOK / HP: 4 / MOVE: 2 / 26L, 8F / CYBER: RIG JACK /MUTATION: AMYGDALIC HYPERCEPHALY]

There wasn't much time left before exfiltration, but Stev intended to make the most of it. He hadn't come all this way not to get at those goodies, after all. He stepped through the smouldering ruins of the vault door and peered around, finally spotting some signs denoting what was where. Stockpile... eh, he'd have to pay to haul the stuff out anyways. May as well leave it. The rest sounded promising, but none moreso than the Biofoundry. That Voice was starting to get annoying, and despite what the Lung Bandit had told him, Stev had a sneaking suspicion that maybe having extra brain stuck in there wasn't a straight upgrade. At least, not the way that the Bandit had done it. Surely random machinery in a vault in a middle of a blasted wasteland would be better at brain surgery!

Setting down his stuff, Stev hoisted himself onto the operating table and laid down as a truly terrifying array of robotic arms, some armed with incredibly sharp knives, started probing his skull.

"Make this quick, will you? I've got a flight to catch."

Using the Biofoundry to upgrade Amygdalic Hypercephaly. For exfiltration, Stev will be travelling light, taking his Scope and the Tuned K-Hammer, for a total cost of 30 Luxe

Scramble looks at the remaining mutant, nonplussed.

"Look, I'm opening this box and then I'm leaving. You can try and stop me and die or you can chill and even get a cool box to sleep in or something. Whatever. I don't care."

Scramble attempts popping the seal on the Wrecksmas present.

Supply roll: 1d20 15 Coffin Nail.

Scramble stares at the unassuming shell in her hand and then at the boss kill notice on her wristcomp. A long moment passes before Scramble starts cackling. She's still laughing as the exfil helo-rig swoops in.

Wait, what - it was already done? Cancer had already been defeated? -And just when things were starting to get good for Kal Risso, too! With the Squamous Horror firmly planted under his Enforcer's robotic boot, Kal took a breather from combat to review his Comms tablet and check his Wrecker accounts.

Kal was elated, but at the same time he hungered for more action. Would he be able to return to civilization after all this? Kal Risso was already making plans to sign up for the next Wrecking Crew games when the aerolift arrived...

[CRYO / HP: 3 / MOVE: 2 / FUEL: 8 / LUXE: 25 / CYBER: SPINAL ANTENNA / MUTATIONS: TRAUMATIC SCLERODERMA]

Cryo watched as a mushroom cloud curled on the horizon. Not that it was particularly interesting in and of itself, someone was always nuking someone down here, but this one was suspiciously close to where the Cancer was supposed to be. And sure enough, she could already feel that telltale twinge in her spine as the repulsors on the extraction craft came closer. A shame the team couldn't pick through the vault more thoroughly, but the ride home only touched down briefly and the pilots were not the type to wait around. There was time for just one brief detour into the medbay, though.

Use the Medifactor to add 1 max HP

With the 'You survived' alarm pinging, Midge looked between the promise of the vault, and the vast array of salvageable wreckage in the hex. He didn't have long, but he wasn't called a Junker for nothing.

Salvage everything! Salvage the rigs and everything else: 19d6 72. Divvying it up 20 each to Cryo and Stev, with Midge claiming a 12 luxe fee for forgoing the cyber upgrade on top of his share for 32 Luxe total

He distributed 20 Luxe each to Cryo and Stev with a smile.

"Pleasure wrecking with you. Keep an eye out in the next arena, yes?"

AUDIO: Destruction of the Airhorn Homeworld
Female VO: Extraction underway. WRECKING CREW complete.





Quite a kickoff for the new Wrecking Crew, Rev.
A Sudden-rear end conclusion, Haze. Can we talk about that Squidpack meta?
Squidpacks have always been desirable items, Ocho, but the models TeuthisCorp provided for testing this time seem to have been game-changers.
What's this I hear about spine and thyroid cancer, though? Seems like a righteous rad-goiter would do a number on a promising career in rig-fustigation.
Apparently there's a little bleed from the power source on these no-recharge models. TeuthisCorp is generously providing complementary spinal taps and hormone panels for all Wreckers, and a very competitive rate on lesion removal if they agree to the corporate testing protocol.
Free spinal taps and cheap lesion removal! I gotta get me one of those!
Sadly for fans of Squidpants Johnson, TeuthisCorp has also decided to move away from the no-recharge model until the process can be somewhat refined. The Teuthis spokesbeing promises, however, that the next rollout will have better ergonomic weight distribution, and 67% fewer leaks!


6 survivors, though! Been a sweet while since we've had numbers that shuàidāi on an entirely fresh pack of meatballs!
Assuming they wind up back in the pod, which, statistically speaking, is almost inevitable given the typically poor financial discipline of the types that wind up as Wreckers, we should have a particularly formidible bunch of players for the next game. Our Producer assures us, though, that WCLTD Murderologists have made sure that the next combat arena will provide a challenge comensurate with the skills on display.
Broof'n, Hazel. Bottom almost seemed like it was on the Wreckers' team, sometimes.
There should be no such problems with RIME.
Spill those bean-rear end deets, my Hazel!
In due time, honored Reverend sir. In due time.


I'm comin' off my Drenlinz rush, Haze, and I'm shakin' for more WRECKIN'!
Then be here, precious babies, same REKT time, same REKT frequency, for the next steel-rending installment of...
WRECKING CREW!!!
































Shiiit, where's that PA with the benzos and body oil?
