While Pepper retreats behind the desk to finish her conversation, you whip out a <span class="mu-s">MOLOTOV COCKTAIL</span> from your pocket–is it hot in here, or is it just <span class="mu-i">you</span>?
“I dunno, man, feels pretty brisk-”
Raj, you interrupt, see if you can’t get that <span class="mu-s">WEAPONY-LOOKING-THING</span> working! If it can blow a hole in these freaks you want it working <span class="mu-i">NOW!</span>
“Aye aye, bro!” The skater responds with a snappy salute! “One <span class="mu-s">DEATH RAY</span> comin’ up!”
Chuck’s already kicking a <span class="mu-s">METAL CRATE</span> over to you by the time you finish with Raj. “Try an’ drop ‘em in the doorway, kid–make the bastards work for it!”
<span class="mu-i">Gladly</span>, you nod as the entrance caves inward with an ear-splitting shriek of metal! Through the opening you see a sea of coverall-wearing goons–their glowing yellow eyes illuminating the mass of black clothing like stars in the night sky! Lighting your firebomb with the <span class="mu-s">GOLD LIGHTER</span> you got back from Pepper, you chuck it just as one slasher enters carrying a TV monitor with a familiar, cackling face on it!
“<span class="mu-i">Trying to skip your appointment, CRETIN? I’m afraid THIS doctor DOES make house call-oh you have GOT to be kiddin-</span>”
Smashing against the screen causes the bomb to erupt in a violent conflagration that engulfs the whole doorway… and then some! Crackling from the impact and heat, Rivka shouts an unintelligible threat before the feed dies! The slasher carrying the screen is far from down and out, however, and just as he prepares to toss the broken monitor at you, his aim is knocked off-course by a chance shot to the knee!
“Don’t just stand there–keep blastin’!” Barks Chuck as he sends a few more rifle rounds into the pack leader! He doesn’t have to tell <span class="mu-i">you</span> twice!
Throwing another <span class="mu-s">MOLOTOV</span> into the fray, you swap out for your <span class="mu-s">N4 RIFLE</span> and take the lead from your elder! Though the slashers are tough, the fire and the debris blocking the entrance work well to stem the tide of mutants! You’re still outnumbered, though, and though you manage to keep them back for a time, the sound of glass breaking in the chamber outside tells you all you need to know!
“They’re breaking them out of those containment pods!”
Yes, Chuck, that’s what you were alluding to!
