Artificial War

"You alright..?" Ben asked, looking over to Azm as he behavior suddenly changed.

"Understood." Niles nodded. He watched the androids closely from his scope, not wanting to make a mistake. Once they had been inside for a few seconds, he nudged Marie before getting up into a crouching stance and running as best he could to Azm's position.

Marie handed one of the breachers to Azm once she was near him. "Lets do it..."
"Sat one on each side of the door so we can all go in at once. Watch your fire. No noise till we're inside. Let's go," he ordered as he moved towards to building.

As he was not given an answer, Ben frowned but followed Niles lead as they followed Azm's instructions, heading for the doors crouched down and quietly.
As they reached the door, Niles took left and Ben went right, tucked up against the wall tightly and waiting for the next move.

Marie set her charge against the wall the seals were near.

The two androids took the other side of the door and Azm set his wall breacher as well.

"Don't hit the girl," Azm said, holding up three fingers.

three.... two... one...

Marie and Azm pulled the switch on there charges and the wall there were near exploded into bits of stone and they moved through.

Azm deployed his shield and fired his SMG at any androids he could see.

Nurixin stayed behind him and did the same with her battle rifle.

Marie moved forward, shooting at anything that moved though if she spotted Kim she would take special care not to shoot anything in that direction.

((the thing they're using is basically a metal sheet with explosives on one side, used to blow holes through walls without hurting the user.))

((Figured. Military has crazy s**t now. I once saw them launch a bomb of some sorts into a room, without causing damage to the walls of the building itself, yet still have enough power to kill anyone unlucky enough to be inside.))

Ben and Niles nodded silently to Azm's warning of caution, gripping their automatic rifles tightly as they waited for the attack to begin.

After the charges went off, both men took forced the doors wide open and opened fire on the androids who had been caught on guard duty first. With the element of surprise, they were taken quickly and focus was then switched onto the small group escorting Kim.

The android who held her, looked back in surprise after the blasts, and quickly realized what was going on. It fled further into the factory, leaving it's escorts behind as they returned fire and made an attempt to also retreat with their leader.

As the enemy androids started to get their s**t together and move, Azm focused all his fire on the leader, aiming for it's legs with pinpoint accuracy. As Azm fired he moved only forwards, even as bullets bounced off his shield.

Nurixin kept behind Azm and fired at the group the leader had left behind, head hunting with her battle rifle as they moved.

Marie fired on the androids that were left behind as well, both her Desert Eagle .50s were empty fairly quickly with little loss in accuracy thanks to her limbs. To her they felt like really loud 9mm.

"Son of a..." The android hissed as one of his leg's was damaged, ending his run but not completely stopping his movement. He glared back at Azm as he limped into a room, slamming the door shut behind himself.

Like Marie, Ben focused on any androids that hadn't been apart of the escort group, wanting to keep back firing at Azm and Nurixin to a minimum.

Niles slowly stepped inside, wanting to keep pace with Nurixin and Azm as they needed help getting to the room. He was far behind them though, only able to get in the factory enough to duck behind a dusty parts machine.  

[cptflint]

Azm kept focusing her shots at the leader until the door closed. By the time it had Azm was about halfway there. He then sped after the leader, keeping his shield facing the largest group of androids as he got up to speed. He then sent his full 300+ pounds at the door, slamming his shoulder into it as soon as he reached it with all the speed he could get on the way there.

Brrrmp! brrrmp! brrrmp! brrrmp! brrrmp! echoed through the base has rifle fire precise bursts at any enemy android she could see that were trying to stop Azm's advance.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

As Azm broke into the room, the android and Kim were in the back corner. While there was no other exit, the android laid Kim down on the ground beside him. In his hand was a desert eagle pistol, aimed down at te girl's head, finger on the trigger and just another pound away from firing.
As Azm entered, the android glared at him, watching him and the door closely.

"She's really that vaulable, huh?" He grunted. "I wonder how important she'll be when she's dead."  

[cptflint]

"It doesn't have to be this way," Azm said as he shared tactical information from the room with Nurixin. "You can let her go and we can both walk away alive."

Nurixin loaded her rifle with piercing rounds meant to pass through stone walls as Azm fed the location of the leader to her. She lined up the shot , pointing her gun at the wall that separated them, double checking her information with Azm and recalculating the shot three times while Azm spoke those few words to him. After Azm said 'alive' she fired three shots through the wall at the leader android's head.

((unless you want that guy to live. I can totally change this post.))  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

((Eh, little unhappy with the overpowered death bullets but I didn't want him living anyway. Minor baddy. It's Geminoid and his second in command I'm gonna be nit picky with.
But they'll come later. biggrin Kim's just short of falling into a freaking coma she's been through so much abuse.))

As the android dropped dead, Kim gave a weak sigh of relief. Ironically, unlike most hostage situations she had been left untied and gagged - they were rather unnecessary things to do in the past few days. She had more broken and fractured bones than she did undamaged, along with bruises and lacerations all across her body. Putting up a fight or making a mistake in this state was just plain stupid, so her captors let her have a small amount of freedom.

"Oh thank God," she groaned as she remained laying on the ground, far too injured and in too much pain to even stand on her own. "I never thought I'd get to see another free human face." She gave a light hysterical laugh, rubbing her bruised face and eyes. "Then again, I can't hardly see anyway."

((Depending on what the wall was made out of normal assault rifle bullets can go through 3 feet of wood and most industrial sheet rock without even slowing down. 7.62s are nasty.

They have high impact round with an igniting core that can pass through 4inches of solid steal today.

I figured you'd be more upset with the wireless voiceless transmissions happening between Azm and Nurixin. Pulled that right from the Geth on mass effect.

bottom line... bullets are dicks... and androids are op.))

Azm allowed his emotions to come back on line as the android fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief as well. "I wouldn't exactly say human," he replied, hoping she'd be able to recognize his voice. "But I've got pretty close I'd like to think," he said as he knelled down next to her. "Just relax and don't move we'll bring a stretcher in as soon as the coast is clear."

Having been too confused on helping Azm's situation Nurixin had left herself open and was prepared to pay for it as a spray of gun fire passed over her. Not many left, Nurixin said over radio as she ducked into cover again, though her connection was a little fuzzy now. I am... damaged... she said before cutting out and going limp behind some machinery.

Marie finished reloading and opened up on the last few remaining androids in the same way she had before.

((that make up for it a bit biggrin ?))  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

((My point is more or less that first bullet couldn't have been instant kill, losing most of it's power after going through a thick wall, and he'd be alive enough to pull the final pound on the trigger. But Kim can't die so I'm not caring that much. No need for evenness.))

Kim rolled her head over, staring at Azm for a couple of minutes in silence. She had only briefly saw his new skin, and it hadn't been committed to memory. And chances were the new skin would always take a moment, as she had gotten far to use to his actual appearance.

"Shoulda known it'd be you.." She grunted with a smile, rolling her head again back up. "Far as I know, no one else was trying. Or just died so prematurely they didn't bother to mock me about it. Just stuck to rough housing, humiliating.." She closed her eyes, her face twisted in pain, both physical and mental.
"...Just take me home."

As Ben and Niles finished clearing out some of the door androids with Marie, they rushed over to Nurixin's position, firing in the backs of the remaining androids.  

[cptflint]

((I was planing on Nuri getting hurt anyway.))

"That's the plan," Azm said as he took out a medical kit and started to inspect Kim or open wounds and unset broken bones.

Nurixin wasn't moving. A round had passed through her head.

I need a stretcher in here as soon as you guys are finished. No one else get shot! he yelled.

Marie focused on the last of the androids as the two seals made it over to Nurixin, doing the best she could to cover them.

((I'll get down to the actual damage done when Lucy takes a look at her.))  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"And I mean home. Not my Dad's underground facility." Kim groaned, lazily laying there with her limbs limp so Azm had to use little effort to move her. Not like she was interested in moving anyway. When things got too painful, she'd let him know by simply hissing and groaning loudly, only actually speaking when things got too painful.

"If you ever get curious what it's like to be a punching bag," she sighed during one not so painful inspection session. "Just ask. I'll tell you all about it."

"We'll try, but Nurixin just went down." Niles replied, pressing forward slightly to more pressure on the androids. "Would appreciate your assistance if the other isn't in need of it."
