\+/ Night City Stories \+/ Chapter 69, Part 1 - Chrome and Punishment The eerie atmosphere the night brings in Night City is in full effect. Cold and quiet, the various members of the crew sit in silence as the wind calmly blows. The only thing going through most of their minds is violence. This is an all in situation with everything at stake and they know it. Their chrome, their eds… what they’re owed is finally for the taking. BugBear and Carter at their point of attack sit crouched down behind cover as they assess the security situation at this 4 story warehouse. Carter, in full focus takes a deep breath and quickly slams the spacing between each of his fingers against each other ensuring his leather gloves are tightly secured on. He hears BugBear’s whisper which grabs his attention. “Usually get nervous like this before ops?” She asks playfully while being calm herself. “Adrenaline doll. Heh… Definitely the type of question I’d expect from a runner. Not much in the business of getting your hands dirty…; No no, These are the nerves of a solo about to get to work.” He says with a smirk looking over at her. She returns the smirk. In that moment they hear heavy footsteps on pavement past the cover they’re hiding behind. Carter motions BugBear to wait and hold her position. 3 Mercs passing by and chatting hear the sound of quick footsteps approaching behind them causing them to react quickly by turning around. Carter shoots 2 of the mercs in the head with a silenced pistol dropping them instantly. The third merc shoves the barrel of Carters pistol upwards causing him to misfire as the merc grabs his wrist. The merc then pulls a knife with his free hand and attempts to stab carter directly in the chest. Carter catches the mercs knife hand as the two quickly glance down at each other’s tied up hands in a dead lock. Carter quickly shifts his footing in an attempt to toss the merc to the ground causing the two of them to go tumbling down to the pavement. As the merc begins to overwhelm Carter with his strength he notices how chromed out the bastard is. He frees his knife hand and raises it to stab Carter in the face but is quickly snatched by the neck from behind by BugBear’s neon pink monowire. The force of the yank puts him on his back causing BugBear to stumble slightly from the weight. She then places her foot on his shoulder for leverage and yanks even harder, piercing his chromed out neck and severing his head causing blood to spray out of his neck onto the pavement. She offers her hand to help Carter up… assisting him back up to his feet. “Dirty hands means sloppy work.” She says with a smile on her face, looking him in the eyes. Carter smiles back completely turned on. “Thanks for the save doll.” He says as they finally let each other’s hands go. The pair then make their way into the warehouse through a side entrance. “Place is fuckin’ huge.” Brian whispers to Audrey as they both scan the area. “Looks pretty dead too… weird… think they’re out somewhere?” Audrey asks “Not sure… guessin’ we must’ve did a bigger number on em than we thought.” Brian glances at Audrey. “Hang back here.” “What!? No!” Audrey whispers loudly “I don’t need you gettin’ hurt out here.” He insists “I’m NOT just going to sit here Brian!” Brian pauses for a bit and turns his full attention over to her. “Fine… If you’re gonna run with me on this then you’re gonna tell me what happened back at the Pistis Sophia choom.” Audrey pauses with a serious look on her face frustrated while Brian returns the look. She eventually breaks growing upset. “What. You want to hear that they stripped me..? Tied me up..? Cut me..? Put a rope around my neck and drug me around like a fucking dog on a leash? They… they were gonna-“ Audrey stops as she gets choked up. Brian gently places a hand on her shoulder causing her to look him in the eyes. “Stay close.” He says in a deep tone. The pair of them slip their way into a cracked window on the bottom floor of the warehouse. As they enter, they notice 2 mercs working on a Chevilon Emporer searching its interior and stripping it for parts. Brian grabs the bigger Merc from behind slowly choking him to death. This shocks the merc next to him causing her to gasp and reach for her iron before being quickly grabbed from behind and stabbed in the neck by Audrey; Causing blood to spray out onto Audrey’s chest and jaw. As Audrey struggles to maintain her grip on the falling and dying merc, the pair of them slowly begin to lose balance. Audrey shoves her lifeless body to the floor with force as it slams down with a heavy thud with a splatter of blood. Brian and Audrey then look at each other and nod before drawing their iron and slowly moving forward deeper into the warehouse. “I’m going to need you to wait here.” Zaunya says to Netty as the pair of them look on at a group of 8 mercs standing in a group chatting away deep in the warehouse compound. The group is clearly not just some civilians loitering around, it’s a well built, well equipped group of soldiers ready for anything to pop off. Netty looks at Zaunya with his digital black mask on, altering his voice. The yellow pixels being used to illuminate various facial expressions he wants shift to a yellow pixelated expression of disbelief. “What…? Are you crazy? One sec, lemme-“ Before Netty is able to begin quickhacking, Zaunya flashes toward the group. With expert efficiency, you see Zaunya use her mother’s combat knife to either stab or slice the throats of each of the 8 mercs one by one before any of them can even react. Netty looks at the 8 of them standing there before they each begin to drop in a blink as blood comes spraying out of each of their necks. As Zaunya looks back over her shoulder at each of them dropping, she hears the working mechanics and air compression of a Militech Centaur turning around behind her. Before she knows it shes face to face with a chromed out merc powering up the centaur exo-skeleton and pointing the thermal cannon right at her alongside the sounds of thermal energy being built up. “Shit!” She says to herself with her eyes wide open as she instinctually reaches for her iron completely out of position and out in the open face to face with this thing. Before he’s able to fire the cannon, the exo-suit begins to short circ as the merc tenses up and screams loudly in pain.. echoing throughout the warehouse and causing various mercs throughout it to raise their already high strung attention. Zaunya glances back and sees Netty’s eyes glowing red as he quickhacks the exo-suit sending sparks flying throughout it and the merc’s chromed up body. The merc fights through the quickhack and raises the thermal cannon toward Netty as it fully charges, causing Netty’s eyes to open wide in fear. Zaunya raises her Nue firing a single shot and sending a bullet through the merc’s skull sponge killing him instantly. The single loud booming shot echoes throughout the entire warehouse blowing the entire crew’s cover. Every merc within the compound grabs or loads their iron as they begin to quickly scramble in confusion. = We’re made! = Zaunya shouts into the comms of the entire crew. =NOW!= Brian shouts into the comms as you see the entire crew simultaneously stop in their tracks, close their eyes, and take a deep breath. They hold it in for several seconds before letting it out extremely slowly and opening their eyes back up while raising their weapons. The entire crew executes the break on Brian’s command perfectly. They each then continue at an extremely slowed pace making each step they take calculated and allowing them to hear the frantic stumbling, vibrations and poundings of footsteps from the scav mercs rumbling throughout the compound. The lights abruptly cut off due to BugBear jacking in to a terminal. This causes the emergency lights to unexpectedly engage giving the warehouse extremely dim, sparse lighting. One by one, as the crew slowly positions themselves, various mercs come flying out of various doorways in a frantic panic pointing iron. Brian drops a merc racing out of a doorway with a shot to the chest from his Nue causing him to slam up against a wall due to his momentum and leaving a splattering of blood behind on it. He steps toward him and places another shot in his head before slowly continuing forward. Carter, exiting out of another room right behind Brian headed in the opposite direction shoots another Merc dead with a clean headshot right before he can raise his gun to shoot Brian in the back. Carter continues to clear the floor as he steps over the dead merc he shot and continues heading in the opposite direction away from Brian. BugBear then comes around a corner and walks past Carter in a different direction down a hallway. A merc pops out from behind a wall at the end of the hallway and shoots at BugBear causing her to flinch and duck down slightly before firing 3 shots at him dropping him in a thick cloud of debris and gunsmoke. The crew continues to flow like this through the warehouse… continuing to cover each other from various unorthodox angles with slow confident efficiency… dropping various well armed mercs as you hear them squealing in fear and pain or panic spraying their various guns before being silenced by single shots and double taps… The crew... is locked in.
