Smith Street, you answer in a much calmer tone than the first time, Industrial Sector!
You’re about to ask your driver if there even <span class="mu-i">is</span> an Industrial Sector near Smith Street when your navigator responds with a cheery blip!
<span class="mu-b">’Understood! Next st-’</span>
The confirmation is cut short by a chunk of vendor stall crashing onto the road next to you! Stealing a glance behind the vehicle, you watch in shock and awe as a pair of familiar glowing eyes and drool-spackled teeth gain on your getaway gizmo!
“Crud!” Volka exclaims as the tusked terror gets closer, “Berserkers are here, Mor… and they’ll be able ta’ catch up, believe me!”
You never doubted her! Poking your head out the side of the cruiser with your Slinger at the ready, you confirm what Volka already did for you:
Both Skogzerkers are hot on your tail and catching up by the second! Most of the pedestrians manage to dart out of the way, but the ones who aren’t so lucky are torn from the path and hucked your way as projectile weapons! Even worse, three cruisers full of Spicy Slingers make up the rear!
“We’re never gonna make it ta’ Smith Street at dis’ rate!” Whines The Machinist as a Durher lands on the front of the vehicle with a muffled ‘oof’ before rolling off the side! “Do somethin’!”
He’s not wrong–between the bystander bombardments your ride is still being peppered by Slinger Darts… and if they’re loaded up with the same paralytic agent the Snipers used, you and the others won’t be able to shrug it off!
Weaving through the marketplace in a vain attempt at following the TekNav’s tapped directions, you send a furtive glance skyward–no sign of Rezzie yet! Hey, you remark as another dart punctures your seat from behind, what ARE we going to do about Rezalith?
“Oh, don’t worry ‘bout her!” Volka laughs as a few more darts and a young Chytree bounce off of her ceiling shield, “She always tracks us down–she’ll come around once she’s had her fun!”
You just hope she does before you get ripped to shreds, you laconically reply. In any case, you’re on your own for now, and the Teksouls you speed past don’t seem keen on interrupting the chase! It all falls down to you…
You need TIME! How do you slow ‘em down!?
>Hit the brakes! It’ll ding up the cruiser a bit, but it’ll surprise your pursuers when they slam into it!
>They want to throw pedestrians? Volka–give ‘em a taste of their own medicine!
>Slinger time! Focus on the drivers!
>Slinger! Try to disable the Skogs!
>You just smashed through two market stalls–surely there’s something you can use here as an obstacle…
>Write-In!
