>We're off to a very interesting start... Writan

>>33290184
None of the options seem attractive to you, all have their pros and very deadly cons. Instead, you begin to formulate a plan in your head. "Jonny. Your orders are to eliminate the resistance in that shack. Assume overwatch over the main street."

"Understood." The miniature gun bot hovers out, impassive and not hesitant.

You twist your thumb in a familiar fashion. A jolt of electricity down your spine and a puff of smoke later, four non-descript gangsters with KA 93s and Depezadors are staring blankly at you. "Fan out! You go this way, you go that way, the two of you go left and right! Go! Hunt!" You know better than to give out complex commands. Running around with guns blazing will be enough for your purposes.

The sudden halt of assault rifle fire signals that Jonny either did as he was told or got shot down. You'll know which soon enough; as the gangsters exchange fire with your suicidally brave clones, the few who run after them are gunned down by the scrab's overwatch. You draw your Damocles, replacing the Rotten Mound in its magno-sheath in your back.

You stalk from a safe distance a group of five looters, chasing after one of your clones. Safety in numbers, of course. The chase leads to a dead end, they have succeeded in cornering your clone, which opens fire with blatant disregard for its short and bellicose existence. Having a bit more self-preservation than it, the Indians rush for cover. With perverse glee, you stare at the one with the Caw Hammer and instinctively perform the Psi-feat of mangling his perceptions. The enemy shudders and convulses, and trains its weapon on his allies. Ignoring the growing headache, you stalk towards the group as they are forced to jump out of their positions and deal with two threats at once, two of them decorating the walls with their blood before the clone and maddened individual succumb. By the time they notice you, it's too late. [1/2]

>>33290538
You rush at one, sinking the Damocles onto his spine and detonating his torso from the inside. The black-skinned indian wannabe looks as though he's regarding the physical manifestation of his demise, and mouth-agape shoots round after round in your direction. Anticipating that, you hold onto your Damocles strongly, rushing forth and praying to.. something that the force field holds long enough for you to close the distance. It does, and with a draw cut at extremely close range you shear off the head of the last member of the group.

It's done. You've reversed the trap, and silenced the gloating, bloodthirsty cries of the Trip-n-Fall Indians, replaced them with death moans and cries for mercy gone unheeded by your remaining clones. Your Confirmex declares 14 kills since the beginning of the night. A good start.

You grab your mobile comms phone. "Jonny, status report."

"Exterior threats eliminated. Unit status: light exterior damage. Optics flickering, presumably circuit loosened. Otherwise battle ready."

Seems both of you made it out of this. Time to take the fight inside the building. "Any movement in the.." Does he recognize what a whorehouse is? ".. building with large amounts of neon lights?"

"I detect the hacker's source inside the building. At least one more hostile confirmed inside."

You ponder your options once more. The front gate is half open and inviting you in. It doesn't take a tactical genius to see an ambush coming, so you decide to send in some expendables. You summon another batch of clones, feeling as though someone drove a spike into your skull. The psi exhaustion is starting to pile up.

The sound of automatic rifle fire echoes out, accompanied by curses spoken in a thick accent and a monstrous, feral roar as something struggles against a metal chain. You ponder the possibilities; they have set up a barricade there. The hacker has prepared automated sentries. Or perhaps the clones were destroyed by whatever that creature is, and the firearm sounds were their own.

Whatever the case, you have tired yourself out for small gain. At least you're sure that the front entrance is a strong point in their defence.

You hunker down, out of sigh of any would-be looter and allow yourself to close your eyes for a moment. Just a while longer, you tell yourself, rubbing your temples in a circular, vigorous motion. It provides just enough comfort to motivate you to go through the psychic trauma of spawning yet another batch of clones. Feeling as though your brain and spine have been subject to an electroshock, you fumble with your mobile, mumbling for Jonny to return and join you in the charge.

You switch to your rifle, deciding that it is sentries that you will face. Giving a last once-over the events in your life that lead up to this point, stealing prostitutes for the head sleaze bag of your neighborhood, you order the clones to enter the enemy fortress, rushing behind with your loyal cybernetic companion.

You were right about one thing: the barricade of tables and furniture turned sideways was indeed armed by sentry turrets, which are making short work of your clones. Behind them, that which you had imagined stares hungrily at you. Flanked by two Indians holding its collar with metal chains, a lizard-like winged creature struggles to free itself of its wardens. Judging by the red hue their black faces have taken, he's about to win the contest of endurance.

"Master watch out!"

Jonny's call brings your focus back to the most immediate concern. The turrets have locked in on you. Quickly, you fire off rounds at them, trying to set up a firing circle to disrupt them. Shot after shot goes wide. Your hands begin to shake, and you suddenly perceive the small tripods as miniguns of death and destruction as they open fire.

Jonny manages to hit one of them, just in time before the other two clip your right shoulder, left leg and perforate your torso. Lucky you, the bullets go right through, hurting like hell but not disabling your adrenaline-fueled self quite yet. You hunker down, stumbling back out of their wide spread of fire, bleeding and limping but not dead. [1/2]

>>33292168
Your scrab follows behind you, comically hovering backwards as if to cover your escape. You don't know why you find that funny, but you do. You think you hear the sound of the creature breaking free of its collar. It was the sound of metal bending and breaking, after all. Not many candidates-

A lean, reptilian form bursts out of the building, tackling you and sending you rolling across the floor, and hitting its head on a wall. The bloodthirsty monster got ahead of itself, spurred by the blood you just shed. You breathe profoundly. struggling gingerly to get up before it recovers from slamming its serpentine head on the wall. Either an alien beast or a genetorfactory freak, it is above all else your most imminent foe. You have one moment to choose how to face it.

>A real hardcore party

You feel as if you are about to collapse. In fact, your vision is flickering black ever so often, and you can barely stand on your one healthy leg. Even as your exhausted state screams surrender to oblivion, a corner of your mind is awakening and powering your next step. You have done this before, you are sure. Brief flashes of memory, of rushing forward as a giant monster assaults you. You do not care to try and make sense of the details. It's not necessary; you merely mimic what your awakened dream state performs, rushing imperiously at the beast and drawing your sword. As you close in, you leap at its head, flying several metres upwards and obliterating its neck, sending the giant beast tumbling down.

At least, that's what you saw yourself doing a moment ago. The flashes subside, and you find yourself tumbling down under a rain of lukewarm blood, as the neck of the monster flails wildly and its head spins above. The smell of static from the Damocles' discharge tells you all you need to know. You have felled the dragon-like thing.

Just one moment more. You are about to win, you just need to keep yourself sane and awaken for one more moment. There are things you should focus on right now, namely the looters coming out of the building. Jonny takes care of that, the robotic creature having taken point beforehand.

What a shitty violence.

You're not sure where that thought came from.

Emphasis on having Jonny call for help once we die/fall.

Also, just remembered something, the Looters who were harassing that chink-woman back a couple of threads? The one who made some sasheemi? I think they were called the trip'n'fall Indians. Might be able to enlist her help in killing them if we need to by telling her we'll free her from them.

>>33293451
>Like you have no idea. Back and writan

>>33293705
Well, better not let the adrenaline peter out before the job's done. Or at least before the greying streets become full greyscale. You cannot fall, the Secreta won't allow it! The what now..? You better finish things fast before you collapse.

"Jonny. If I collapse, call for someone to revive me."

"I am afraid there are no quick-dials on my system for emergency treatment that are not Federal in nature."

"That'll do." Sometime in the slammer beats unconscious in a street where you killed a bunch of local gangbangers. You will yourself to move on, limping forward towards the house of ill-repute, which will no doubt rise in popularity once this is all a story in ten years' time or something. Or maybe it'll go under after you've killed all the present owners. You hope you'll live to see its fate.

You crawl onwards. As predicted, a bunch of toppled and deactivated turrets lay discarded to on the floor, one of which had its motion sensors shot. All the pain Jonny had put you through before is forgiven. You walk past the entrance bar, and towards the rooms. You hear sounds of gunfire, and female shrieking and wailing. What the fuck are these sick freaks doing? Ned had wanted you to take some women back; seems they really are all slimes of a starch.

As you speed your way towards the rooms, something which you seem to be doing a lot thanks to some uncreative fate dominating your condition, you catch a glimpse of a rather skinny-looking looter with a handgun which you'd identify were you capable of focus. The grey splotches on his arms indicate he's probably the one killing the women. Filled with a sudden sense of emergency, you rush towards the room he entered.

He must've seen you drag your foot after him, as when you enter you notice he has a familiar face in a headlock, and he's pointing the gun at her. The asiatic features of Mei-Zhen, distorted as they are by the man's desperate strength, greet you with surprise, fear and pain. [1/2]

The Metastreumonic force can basically be called the collective thoughts of mankind (At least, that's what I think of it as), so does that mean if Jonny gains a sophisticated enough AI it could be considered a mind, and this capable of accessing the Metastreumonic force?
Polyclone Scrabs, Fuck Yeah.

>>33294309
>We'll cross that bridge when we get there

>>33294201
"Get the fuck away from me!" He shouts at you. Now that you notice it, he's not actually of sub-saharan descent like the individuals you've been killing so far. His face is painted black with coal, which is starting to come off with the sweat, and his wig is slowly sliding off his skull. You'd laugh at the pathetic figure in front of you, if he didn't have a Bear Killer at hand. It's only thanks to metal protuberances in his skull that the wig hasn't fallen off yet. He must be the hacker.

"I'm leaving with the merchandise! If you move I'll shoot her! I'm not letting a fucking fresh whore slip from under my boss' fingers! Not after all the work getting her here!" He seems hysterical. The girl must've been providing insufficient amounts of Brouzouf with her cookery. Getting her out of the relatively safer area would've been hell without someone to circumvent the security gaps in the Upper Town's dome.

For the second time in your short meetings, she looks pleadingly at you. You take stock of your options here.

OR you can just leave the girl alone and piss off. Why the fuck are you even putting so much effort into getting this one girl as a prostitute?
I promise that I won't backstab you."

Once he turns his back, tell Jonny to shoot at him. Then black out.

Were you in a position to feel surprise, you'd surprise yourself with the amount of scornful wrath inspired by the maggot wreathing in front of you. Alas, you're too tired, injured and angry for the surprise to register.

"You have two choices." The anger manages to keep you conscious enough to speak evenly and glacially. "If you shoot her, you will not leave this place." You cut off his retort, speaking over his voice. "My scrab will pump your face so full of lead your mother will think someone put a picture of her rotten crotch over your head at the funeral. And you still won't die. Me and my headmates-" You don't specify what you mean. "-are going to torture you until I figure out how to rip out your soul and eat it. And you still won't die; I will digest it and torture it some more for eternity." You're vaguely aware of how unbalance you sound, but it's working. "You will be violated in every orifice, in every pore, and every nervous extremity will feel as though molten copper has been poured down on it. I will send you to Hell one day, but until then I'll entertain myself with that miserable lump of flesh, shit and rusty cogs you call a body. And I'll inflict daily torments to drill you up until the day of eternal Hellfire."

You look at the edge of your Damocles, easing to a more casual stance. "Or you can just drop the gun, go on your merry way, and let bygones be bygones. Seriously, all this stress to turn a single girl into a prostitute?"

"The Indians-"

"Are splattered all over the street, some of which are too mangled to recognize, and their lizard friend thing is headless. I did it. Who are you more afraid of?"

He licks his lips, sweating and shaking profusely. For a moment you wonder if the gun he's holding in shivering hands isn't going to shoot by accident. That'd be embarrassing and anti-climatic. [1/2]

>>33295492
You are spared a shitty drama as the worm relinquishes his grip on the girl and sets his gun down on the floor. Dejected, he walks out whimpering. You keep an eye on him, in case he tries anything out of the ordinary. Your bleeding, psychotic visage must've gotten the point across well enough. "Jonny. No loose ends."

"Affirmative." He hovers after the man, and a burst of fire later, the bounty for one Hacker Humbert is wired to your account.

>You gain Brouzouf (500)

You turn your attention to the girl whimpering in a ragged kimono slumped down on the floor. "Okareninsomething babe." She looks surprised at you, then shakes her head. "Come on, let's get you up." Her attempts to protest are for naught, as even with your last reservoirs of strength, you are still significantly stronger than her.

"Did you come to take me to another place like this?" Technically, that was part of the arrangement with Ned. Take whatever "merchandise" you found back to him. You'll earn some more Brouzouf if you get her back to him, to be sure. On the other hand, you know the girl cooks a mean chink dish. And you're just about to pass out soon enough, and you could use someone not paranoid regarding your motives to help you walk.

>Tell her you'll take her back to your place. You'll figure out how to deal with Ned when you get back.

"No." You decide. If Ned wants more whores, he can start by whoring out his fat ass. You did the job, the Indians are out several members, a brothel and an exotic monster missing. He can take it or leave it, and if he leaves it you're done working for the fat fuck. "We're going to my place. Not a whore house."

"So that's how it is..." Her face reddens, and body stiffens. "To rest, woman! I'm about to pass out!" You don't bother hiding your exasperation at her reaction. "Also, I need someone to vouch for me once the Feds are into this shit." Speaking of which, aren't you wearing a tracker, signalling timestamped positions to the Federation forces? Shit... "And someone to watch out for me, do my laundry, do grocery shopping..." You catch yourself babbling what is tantamount to a marriage proposal. Clearly the blood loss isn't doing any improvements on your dealings with the opposite sex.

"Just... Try to not shoot me in my sleep, I mean." When you remember to look back at her, for indeed you were busy trying not to fall off and break your neck, she is looking at you, faintly amused. Finally, she breaks into a semi-hysterical laughter, struggling for breath soon after. A reward better than Brouzouf. Maybe. In a way. If you're half-mad and anemic.

"Jonny, can you lead her home?"

"Affirmative Master. The miss now has half-master privileges."

"Wonderful. Lead her back home. I'm just about to-"

You do not finish your sentence. What had been fueling you for the last quarter of an hour subsides, and you collapse unto Mei-Zhen's shoulders. You have the vaguest sensation of falling as your conscious functions shut down.
