Chapter 8: I want the semtex recipe.
Today I am so lazy so the today's chapter will be wrote in my mother tongue, then I'll translate to english but maybe it will no be so accurate. Sorry.
So to ensure the writing; beer and music.
I started to approach the center of the nest using the sewers, some of them were demolished by the passage of time without maintenance, others were partially uncovered to the outside and there were even some in good condition; as if people still inhabited this city.
I continued through the sewers, poking through the covers from time to time to make sure of my progress, sometimes I had to turn around because the way was cut. As I was getting closer to the core of the area I started to hear creaking, I did not know what produced them; I did not want to know either, if I had been in my old body, I would be scared shit right now. Finish by relating the crunches to the core of the nest. When I had reached the point of the sewers where the noise became louder and clearer I retraced my steps; to ensure an escape route if everything went wrong.
When I returned I was thinking about the plan of attack, as I did not know that I was going to find the other side of the wall I thought that the best would be explosives, but I would not have enough to break through the wall and destroy whatever was on the other side.
Karen, do you know any way to destroy a nest?
Sure, explosives.
And if you don't have?
But we have.
But not enough for the wall and the nest. In fact they are a karlslander grenade and another ... Russian, I think.
Orussian
The same.
No, it's not the same, remember that this is not your world.
* sigh * Ok, an Orussian grenade, a RGD-5. How can this exist here?
I'm not following you.
This is a "modern" grenade.
You will have been wrong, or the Russians use the same standard designs of a lifetime.
Orussians.
Do not correct me.
... Well how do we do it?
I do not know, think something.
Like witches?
How is that?
Shoot until it dies.
Hahahaha, I hope not.
Well, you will tell me how...
Improvise
Perfect ...
Unfold my new MG and place a double charger, not without some problem; I was not used to that size of charger and to handle it became difficult in such a tight environment, I put on my helmet; As if it were a good thing to wear armor against the deadly ray of the neurois ... Take my remaining grenades from the backpack, they would see action too soon, I had not even gotten used to them. When I had finished preparing, I readied my uniform and began to observe carefully the wall that separated us from the nest.
It showed cracks, fissures; You could even see something on the other side. I ran my hand over the surface and realized that at this point it was no more than a pre fragmented land; I could break it to blows even. That's why I strongly hit the wall until it was accessed by its own weight and a hole was formed the size of a melon, it was not enough to go through so I had to keep hitting the wall, sometimes I stopped to check if there was a reaction from the enemy but it seemed that the entire nest had entered hibernation or something similar because they showed no reaction to any stimulus.
When you finish enlarging the hole wait a few seconds in case there was something on the other side waiting to ambush me. Nothing. With the MG in hand poke through the hole to check the interior. It was a cylindrical cavity whose walls were covered with obsidian black crystals with curious but strange reflections, in the center of the cylinder there was a column in the shape of a rather irregular octagonal prism. From the central column to the sides there were ramifications, like buttresses and beams at irregular intervals; but following a helical structure; that made it difficult to go inside the nest but that greatly facilitated the ascent and descent on foot in the interior.
This must be focused on making the flight more difficult.
Who would be so stupid to fly in here?
Emm ... Any witch? That is, if ordered to finish the nest, do you expect them to come here on foot and, if they come flying, do you really think they are going to leave their strikers out there while accessing the interior "naked"?
You also carry units, they are terrestrial, but you carry them.
Already, but it is not the same; I will have some difficulty trying to move around inside, but if I still do not use them well, but an air unit here would only crash into one of those pylons.
It's possible. Wait, I'm going to mark you the core of the nest.
No, if you do a sweep at this distance it is possible that they notice it and I would not like it if they respond to this stimulus all together.
No. But then how are you going to find the core?
How? In the old way, looking for.
* sigh * But it will take forever.
Yes, it's true, if the enemy does not respond you never know how close they are to their "important things" and we can take them all day, but it's safer that way. I remind you i can not use a shield.
Yes, you can not, you need a familiar; in fact you can not fly either.
… Okay thanks…
Youre welcome.
*sigh* I gonna need a sign with "SARCASM" word wrote very big in it.
And why, exactly?
Nevermind.
Looking around I tried to find a "safe" way to go down, when I did not find it I decided to go down in small jumps from pylon to pylon. The first jump was not much, the second cost me something more but; when I had jumped two or three more I started to get impetu and to go down quilcly. I entrusted in me too much. In one of the jumps I calculate the distance and the impulse badly and when arriving at the pylon I slip with the edge, and I fell until the following beam but; since they were so irregular, I could not hold on to anything and continue to fall to the bottom of the shaft. I hit the ground with considerable force, so much that I bounced a couple of times until finally my body stopped its movement and I just lay there.
Every millimeter of my body hurt with pain at each attempt at movement. It was incredible that with that scandal the nest had not been disturbed.
Quickly, holding my breath to try to endure the pain, I opened my backpack and looked for the analgesics I could have; I found an injection of morphine. I opened its container and stuck the needle in my shoulder, then I pushed the plunger to release its contents in my bloodstream.
Something was wrong, I did not feel anything. Well the pain was still there.
Remember that the drugs do not do anything to you? Why did you take that? Did you expect to meet someone who could benefit from its use?
FUUUUCK!
I did not remember it, or I did not take it into account but one of my skills made me immune to any substance that altered my body and, of course, that included the drugs.
With the recent failure, I stood up hard and snatched around me, almost eating me; there was the nucleus. But I was about two stories high out of reach of my hands. But in the range of my MG, but I did not want to use it, although a grenade would not reach the core, well if I would but I would have to calculate the count back and "cook" the grenade to try to explode at the moment of its launch trajectory.
I wish I had Semtex here.
What is semtex?
It is a powerful explosive that sticks to things quite easily.
Ohh ... How useful, but if that was invented after your WWII then there is not here.
I could do it. I would need the recipe, with that I could do it.
Sure, let me check my recipe book ... No, I should be before of soups.
I do not know why I have to get your sarcasm and you do not get mine.
What thing?
Nothing, leave it, it does not matter.
Um, ok.
Now I need a way to destroy this ...
Hit it.
In a safe way.
For what?
Do you want to be buried under the earth that will surely fall when we destroy it?
Ohh, I understand.
