The situation in Sélentra was not looking good for The Wrecking Belles. After their encounter with Agent Scott’s Varuna Strike Team, Doc Starlight had to take care of Scarlet Tanager and Battle Charmer’s wounds; which made leaving Sélentra a slow endeavor.
To make matters worse, the Rogue AI Brutus had become aware of Dumar Al Dagher’s presence on New Hypatia and decided to offer a substantial bounty for his capture.
Laying low had become increasingly difficult for the Wrecking Belles, who were now continually on the move.
A smoke screen enveloped the nearby buildings, as the roar of a motorcycle signaled that the enemy was attempting to outflank the Wrecking Belle’s position.
A Ninja silently advanced under the cover of the smoke and took out the sentry Fanous and one of the TR Kameels; then hid once more in the shadows disappearing almost completely from sight.
A Shikami followed the path of the Ninja and took out the Rafiq Remote in Close Combat. After taking down the hapless Rem, he entered Scarlet Tanager’s line of sight.
The Shikami decided not to push his luck any longer and started heading up to the rooftop where Kyoko was using as sniper nest for her Panzerfaust.
Obliterette escorted Dumar through the residential area, into the safe-house where Operative Valentine and a Ghulam Fireteam with Panzerfausts were keeping watch, while waiting for the rest of the Wrecking Belles to rendezvous with them.
“Captain Hakim, light them up!” said Dumar on his Comlog, to Obliterette’s confusion.
The sound of a Jump Pack in the distance told Obliterette that Dumar’s Captain Hakim was dropping from a nearby structure or ship.
“What the heck was that?” asked Obliterette
“Corsair,” replied Dumar. “He was advertised as a formidable One-Man-Army.”
“Well, you better ask for a refund.”
Another Jump Pack roared much closer, and Obliterette aimed her Boarding Shotgun at the general area where the sound came from. An exchange of Shotgun fire told her that the Parachutist had a Boarding Shotgun as well, but had made the mistake of getting in range of the second TR Kameel.
With the entire team in the safe-house, the Wrecking Belles started plotting their next course of action.
"If Brutus is after us, we're gonna have to take the fight to him," said Scarlet Tanager.
"We're going to need our weapons if we want to do anything else," said Doc Starlight, who really missed her MSV and Red Fury.
