Marauder sits on the shuttle, performing an equipment check on the specialist equipment fitted to his suit for this mission (non-lethal capture not usually being his forte). He racks the grenade launcher on his forearm.

"Commando ops not usually our thing. Anyone got any preferences? Because I was just going to go with smash and grab."

"I'm interested to see how zhis goes." Ryman's voice echos through speakers.

"Smash and grab seems good." Ryman chuckles. "Smash and grab anything that's not nailed down."

"Oh, and link up with commander. Please. Let's not have a repeat of... that time."

Intersect Thunderbolt sits folded up in the shuttle bay. Black paint covers sections of its armor, and the two horns that framed the suit's head appear to be missing now.

"Interbolt on standby. Ready to drop in."

As the dropship sails over middle mexico in the final stretch, the dropship flies quietly though the night. As the two talk to you and answer your questions, the intercom sparks alive. "This is your friendly pilot here. We're about to hit dirt. Be ready to get off because I have to launch as soon as we hit."
As the ship shutters and groans as it lowers with little noise, the thrusters kick on with minimal sound as they lower the ship. The back door opens, and you see a giant metal airlock door ahead of you. Stepping out bring a bounty of noise in the distance as the cartels fight, and around you everything is silent as the camp is between guards. The historical monument around you turned into a fortified base.

As the dropship starts to launch behind you, the suit pilot speaks over speakers. "Better get to the door! You have 12 seconds before the guards get here!"

"Well, I wasn't looking forward to camping out in the desert with a kraut madman, but we'll see how this goes, eh?"

>>2497634

As you scan around you get a LOAD of information. A.S.S. reports landmines above, below, and around the base. Seemingly to prevent underground tunneling. Hawkeye reports the fighting in the distance is staying at range, but flying Zetas lights are seen doing bombing runs. Thermal shows..... A piece of ground at the end of the stone walkway. Radar reports a decent military force at the other side of the base you are one. You can't tell everything about it, but you get a small blanket mound of signals that are moving about. You hug the door to try and make yourself look small. It kinda works? The scavs see a terminal next to the door.

The open network you find WAS closed, but you opened it for you alone. Spyware didn't get too much, but you know a bit more about the radio network, and hear the guards move. Seems there are a bit more humans then expected, but you head the click and whir of high tech weaponry in their hands.

>>2497636
You are at the door.

>>2497641

Radar shows static, and everything is iffy, but you think you see mines in the distance around the base with A.S.S

>Door is open.
As you hack though the fast hands of marauder, you get into the door system easily enough and open it. Getting though with your drones, your ASS reports a trap above your heads.... It's a pail of sludge with a flamethrower above it.... Oh... It doesn't go off as you walk around it, and you get into the system as you move in. You don't have full access, but the door terminal on both sides of the door interface with the system. It would be hard though to get into it from here. As you enter though the door and it closes you see there is a diagonal lift system in front of you with the lift currently at the lower level.
The heavy though gets across the field fine with your knowledge of the mines. When it gets at the spot of the wam thermal sig, it notices it makes a dull metal clank when it steps on the ground. As it steps on the ground the guards turn the corner and file into position. As a guard gets into the lighthouse, a beam crosses your heavy and the guard works to turn it back.....

Interbolt sticks to guarding Mecoptera.

>>2497745
>>2497769

As you proceed onto the base by slipping onto the track, you notice on contact the track turns slippery and the gear marks push up to create a perfect surface. As you loose control of your footing, you instinctively engage your flight as the bottom of the lift shaft opens to show a monster grinder at the bottom. You see the lift stay side up to act as a guard preventing people who fell to get a grip. However you move around it and get to the other side to what seems to be a cargo lobby with two doors. One ahead of you and one to your left.

>>2497755

As the drone falls down you get a mine near it to blow up. As you see the dust fall down, the light from the guardhouse watches your drone. You don't hear any alarms go off though you or your drone, but the light is staying on your drone.

A.S.S reports a trap at the bottom of the lift, but the team found that out already. Radar picks up something at the bottom level, but it's not another person or suit, but something the bottom team doesn't see either.... Also Hawkeye sees the blurred picture of a bird. Somebody must have left that here.....

Gavin watches Ryman's scavenger drones start nabbing things.

"Is this really a good time?"

>>2497848
"Never a better time." Ryman laughs. "I mean, think about it, it's a cartel boss who is soon to be dead. No repercussions. And I bet there's plenty of good shit in here too. Think of all the stuff I could buy..." Ryman trails off, no doubt imagining horrible, horrible things.

>>2497859
"Uh huh."
Intersect Thunderbolt moves over to one of the crates and opens it up to see what's inside.

>>2497824

As you get to the blast door. The terminal connected to it looks to be of rather high tech. You can see a biosensor attached to it. You however don't have anything it might want however...

>>2497829
>>2497834

As Ryman hacks open the door you see a ornate glass hallway ahead of you. With paintings being LED shown though the glass until the corridor ends to another ornate door. This one being made suit steel, but with such time put into it's forming that it must have been weakened.

>>2497829
>>2497867


Grabbing the pail of sludge, you put it into your reserves while the other drone opens the crates. Fancy food of all kinds, AC and AMC electronics and entertainment, and one even has a highly advanced TE bio-avatar maid model. Nothing worth too much, but it's somebody's yearly pay. but also somebody's daily party.

The terminal does yield a bit as you go though it on BP's side. You know the base doesn't go on much longer, and the target IS in it by the biomarker useage.... But you think you see a map file? You need to but try a little harder...

>>2497859
"Assuming we manage to grab him alive and not botch this up, yes" BP says, pausing. "Assuming we don't then I can assure you there will most definitely be repercussions so lets come by for this stuff after we grab the guy we need?"

The scavenger drone grabs everything that looks like it might have wires in it, and pulls the drags the drone back to the Mecoptera. Ryman hops out to grab an armful of food, while the first scavenger very carefully carries the sludge into the Mecoptera, to be stored equally carefully, before running out to join in on the looting.

As you work into the blast door, you see a server that looks very fine, but your last second training knows that's a honeypot! Getting past that, you breach the door, and open it! Which leads Marauder to the room. Inside he finds the room has a generator, batteries, and a server bank computer. He sees another blast door behind it as well. Only he sees that there is another YET to fall blast door in front of it. As Ryman contines, he gets a basic outline of the bunker. It's not grand, and it just an outline of the server banks knowledge, but it's there.

>>2497915

As the motion sensor senses the hard light running down the hallway, a net of laser beams form at the end and come down the hallway. Slicing the projection in twain. The paintings emit an audible laugh before the hard-light fades. The room blinking red for a moment before turning green and fading back to normal.

>>2497901

Ryman notices that a single guard is leaving the base though the front door with a mine detector and a unknown rifle heading towards the drone.

Connected to Ryman's command net, Marauder is made fully aware of exactly what madcap scheme he's enacting.

"Good grief. I've never been gladder to be bad at tech."

>fly back up the shaft to grab the robot

"Hey Ryman. Exploring a new side of yourself?"

>Bring it back down the the server
>Stand well back

>>2498044

Until a moment ago when Ryman got the map, you didn't even know the vent was there is was so hidden. When you get inside the air gets considerably cooler. You stop for a moment, but you can see two lights ahead of you in this dark vent.

>>2498057
>>2498082

As you press the button on the back of the neck of the avatar. It shows signs of life as it stands and bows with a "~Hello Maste.~" Well It would have finished until you put your "clone" into the robot with new worm port that will not be mentioned. As it looks around to question it's new life, You shove it out the bay into the waiting hands of Marauder, who takes the struggling drone to the server and "Plugs" it in. The clone, thinking a server is better then a bot, gets into it and gains full control. You then hear a speaker above you say "Hey you faggots. What do you want for trapping me in here? And before you ask, I'm only talking to you. No alarm has been set."

As we speak the guard reaches the drone and pokes the heavy with the rifle, looks at it, and prepares to shoot it.

>Boat is skipping his turn.

>>2498106
"Shut up. We all have to pay our dues." Ryman says between mouthfulls of caviar, while clambering up a ladder to the command deck. "Yours is just... sitting in a server, fucking vith them. Or, you know, in a sexbot." Ryman sighs. "Just get the doors open."

Marauder observes the drones hauling the pod off as he efficiently picks out some choice loot to fill his storage units.

"That doesn't look good. I forsee that being a problem we eventually get paid to solve further down the line."

Looting done, he proceeds to stack up next to the door to the cartel leader's room.

"Back to the mission now?"

>>2498140
>watches Ryman waltz through

>>2498136
>>2498143

As the server Ryman complains, it opens the blast door revealing the bounty of drugs, weapons, gold and valuables, a Twinkie, and even a pod! It's a treasure trove!

>After looting, this is enough to gain 15 points back as long as marauder and Ryman get back alive.

>>2498139

As you scan ahead of you, you see a few IR tripwires, but seeing them allows you to bloc-Oh... They just turned off. You see though the commander system you can see a camera view of the first left room showing an ornate party, where a series of avatar drones and women are surrounding one man as he laughs on a cigar. A collapsible suit helmet the only thing covering him.

The speakers speak again. "Alright you idiots. I turned off all the traps? You get this shit done so I can be put into something that isn't cramped to all hell."

>>2498183

As you burst in with the help of the ryman clone. you burst shot a grenade as the door opens. Causing the entirety of the mass of women, robots, and one man to become stuck to itself. The immediate panic of everyone is immediate. The screaming of the Osiel becoming louder as his suit fails to cover his head past the neck. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE FOR THIS! JUST YOU WAIT!"

You notice the avatar drones tried to arm themselves, but the weapons stick in their ports as they can't move. The women scream for help and ask to be let go. Most saying they where forced into this.

>>2498231
>>2498242

BP bursts though the vent as the gernade goes off. Being slightly out of range you have no problem grabbing the guy from the sticky mess and take his collapsed suit off. Throwing the sticky, naked, and angry man into the stuffed carrier bay of Ryman's.

As you point your command bay open to the screaming cartel lord's fear, the drones you hacked form a line and fire RPGs, sharpshooters, and one pink ion cannon into the mess that is the base right now.

Saddly not everything could go your way as you take a sharpshooter round up your backside, but you manage to now get out of range of 90% of their weapons. Meaning with the your efforts and the lack of wanting of them to follow you, you manage to get away with your slow speed. You do manage to continue the chaos on the ground level with your drones. Keeping the already spidered lights from flying to stop you. You hear on comms that other lights are coming to provide support, but that's only because of the fire they heard, they will not likely bother you as you head away from them.
