We reckon there's about fifteen to twenty of them, and right evil little bastards they are too. Another guy decided to get all Monarch* on them the other week. We found him three days ago with a 12.7mm hole in one side of his head and a damn sight bigger one on the other side. Fuck knows how the spindly little shits fired something that calibre, but it wasn't no Ops that shot him.
*Monarch are the civilian security services. Lightly armed, under-trained, under-funded, and pretty much a laughing stock.

Why would you be close enough to get shot?
Sort of. My skill with rifles is pretty high (eight) but as the squad scout, I usually run point into unknown areas. I do rely heavily on not getting shot in the first place, but I think as soon as I hit SCL 8 or scrape up at least 1000c I'll be getting a loan to get the FEN 4044 armor in Dog Pants' hardware guide. It'd be super sneaky, and I really need better armor. Reactive camo, like Bond's Aston in Die Another Day, but not quite so effective and some handy climbing gear to boot.

They were never much for racketeering, more about posing, and since Machinegun Joe Turbo turned their old leader Kuzo into a collander we've been on less than friendly terms with them.

Prop wrote:Haha, Joe's one of us. Reckons he was a Nitro Legion gunner on Cross, but we reckon he just thinks the name sounds cool. Never seen him handle a Power Reaper, but he's pretty handy with his Gunheds. As Kuzo found out.

Mr. Prop person, do you recognise the direction they're heading on this map?
There's no sign of any kids there, although there's a couple of drop-outs drinking cheap cider. The tracker tells you they're only about 20m ahead of you though down the twisty pipes that give the Warren its name.

I'll head on that way then, staying as sneaky as I can.
