There is a brief crackle in the mercenary assault team channel. Presumably your self-directed demolition mission has finally drawn the ire of the lead Serjeant-Operator, 1-Haukwode, who has had enough:
- 2-Domino is compromised. Kill on sight.
And then you see in small glowing letters on your combat rig display:
+Connection lost+
The distant red targeting aimpoint twitches in the swirling mist.
>>5392215>>5392062>Immediately drop the two-handed electroshock battering ram (freeing your mechanical arms), and grab the terrified children, Dev Boy and Glitter Girl, dragging them to cover behind the half-shattered slum wall. Do not hesitate...>Ignore the children. Keep hold of the Shock Ram as it recharges... any moment now... and draw the Swarm Pistol with your third free hand. Aim and fire it at whatever is targeting you line of sight from the distant veil of pollutant vapours; the automatic kill-seek algorithms of the 1-shot Swarm Pistol will find and finish the sniper even if you cannot directly see them. Do it now.>Where is Spike Head? Something about this feels strange... take cover yourself and think hard, try to struggle and remember what the Spike Head does, sifting through your overridden Skulljack memories.>What you need to do right now is lay down an immense volume of suppressing fire. Drop the Shock Ram, draw every gun you possess - Autorevolver, Folding Machine Pistol, Directed Swarm Gun, EVERYTHING - and unload it in a triple-wielding nonstop killing frenzy of gunfire towards whatever is aiming at you right now. It may be overkill, but it is the only way to ensure whatever is on the other side of the mist dies. (QM: If you choose this option, please write-in and scream out a battle-cry)>Something else?
