"I CAN'T! COMMS JUST WENT DOWN, THEY MUST HAVE TURNED OFF THE COMMS ARRAY FROM THE COMMAND CENTER!" Marker yelled, firing off a few rounds
Blood splattered across the ground besides Cylus and he heard a grunt, Charlie falling down besides Cylus' cover.
"I count seven boogies coming from the operation room!" Victor yelled
English
-
As Charlie falls beside him, Cylus pulls the body aside and gets him behind cover, cursing quite audibly. "I'm going in! There's no way we can beat them without their weapons!" Cylus shouts. Unstrapping two EMPs from his jacket, he tosses them over his cover. Upon detonation, he rises and sprints towards the operation room, slowly entering his Impulse as he runs. Pulling the large knife from his back, he charges the first figure he sees.
-
The figure was clearly stunned from the grenade, but Cylus realized that the figure was human, similar to the grunts from the security room
-
Regardless, Cylus leaped and kneed him in the stomach. Turning and planting his blade in the base of the Grunt's spine, he grabs a pistol from his belt and fires a shot to the head. As he pulls the blade from the body, it falls to the ground in slow motion and he watches as bullets whiz past him. Cylus searches for his next target
-
Marker uncloaked besides Cylus, raising his rifle and gunning down two of the Pirates, who promptly collapsed to the ground Gates also uncloaked on Cylus' other side, gunning down Another two of the Pirates The remaining two charged at Cylus and Marker
-
Cylus raises his pistol and guns down one grunt with three bullets while throwing his knife at the other's mask. They both fall at his feet and he turns to Marker and Gates. "Thanks for the assist. But there might be more coming." he says as he reloads his pistol. He kneels down and pulls the knife from the Grunt's face before wiping it off on their sleeve.
-
"Ship's here!" Victor yelled, kneeling down besides Charlie and pulling the dead man's body with him "Leave him, Victor. Will get a sweep in here with more men at some point." Marker and Gates jogged from the room, leaving the base and entering the rain with Sheila in how. Victor stopped, looking around helpless
-
"I've got him! Just go!" Cylus told Victor. Lifting Charlie over his shoulder, he backpedaled to the ship, aiming his pistol into the darkness. He eventually reached the dropship ramp and began climbing up.
-
Victor ran after Cylus and as everyone boarded up, the ship launched off into space. "150 men and women were at that base. Most all are gone..." Marker Cursed underneath his breath, leaning against the wall
-
"May they all rest in peace." Cylus said with his head bowed. Lowering Charlie's body, he looked at Victor. "My condolences."
-
"First Brian, than Charlie... I'd like to take some time off, sir." "You got it, Private. Take all the time you need." The dropship landed back at the cruiser, and Military units were sent in to clear it up, collect the bodies and turn on the power. Gates and Victor went off, while Sheila was taken to the medical bay Marker pulled Cylus to the side, looking down than back up at Cylus "These Helldivers could cause serious problems for us. We need to think about what to do with them."
-
"There's no doubt about that. We faced mere grunts and they took two of our men. There's no saying what could have happened if we met the real thing." Cylus says.
-
"Who knows...." Marker said, the ship lurching forward as it made its way back to the Dojo [spoiler]End! The final post will be your deduction as a pilot. The War is kicking off soon! [/spoiler]

-
[spoiler]Yeah! A little bit. Helldivers will cause trouble [/spoiler]
