Shotgun (unsuppressed)
1/2 rounds remain
12 ga.
Your improvised suppressor remains fairly loud - it sounds like a dry, brittle slap against the side of sheet metal - but the 12 gauge round utterly shreds the lone inquisitive drone guarding the barbed wire fence. You even think about timing the shot with the (somehow still ongoing) rave music beat drop in the distance (QM: lol the Perturbator song jump scare) - but it seems despite the shower of sparks and exploding drone fragments, none of the human patrol assault team heard or noticed anything suspicious.
To your mild dismay, you notice two other whirring drones detach themselves from their holding pattern at the checkpoint, as they begin slowly hovering and scanning the route in a looping trajectory towards your immediate vicinity. You wonder if the drones are interfacing with some form of mesh network; destroying one will draw others to their last known location. The two approaching drones do not appear to be particularly intelligent but seem more methodical, as they drift slowly panning their gimbal cameras over all surrounding terrain.
Taking a deep breath, you shoulder the Serbu shotgun and prepare to make a running parkour along the haphazard ramp of debris to leap over the barbed wire wall. Your muscles tense and you break out into sweat even looking at it... you are not quite sure if you can make it, and your hands feel clammy even thinking about it, never mind staring at the razored and rusted prongs of wire strangling the height of the wall. Without thinking, you launch yourself over the edge...
