"Ring, ring."
"Gnzz...huh? Wha?"
"Ring, ring, transmission received," announced the computer.
"Ohh, what time is it?" I asked.
"9:16 sir."
"Ok, open transmission."
"Opening.Where the hell are you guys? The drop ship has been waiting forever for you two!"
"OH CRAP!" I jumped out of bed and started getting dressed.
"What is it?" asked Lynn.
"We're late for the pick-up!" I said as I pulled up my pants.
"Oh damn, you're right!" she got up out of bed too and got dressed as well.
Once we were both fully dressed, we zoomed out the door and down the hallway and stairs. I threw some random amount of credits at the desk manager and said what room we were in. We ran down to the warehouses that were only down the block from the hotel. We both got in our ACs and headed towards the pick-up point.

"Welcome back Myk," said the desk manager.
I barely even noticed the desk manager saying that, all I cared about at the time was how Soni was doing. I ran to the medical wing of Global Cortex with Lynn by my side. Scared what I might find, I slowly walked into Soni's room.
"WHERE THE FUCK IS SONI?" I yelled subconsciously. The bed for Soni was empty! All that was running through my mind was "where is she?"
I quickly ran out to the hallway and grabbed the nearest nurse.
"Where did the patient for this room go?" I asked with anger in my voice.
"Umm, I'm sorry, patient Soni Windell was sent to a special research facility. I believe Crest employees were seen around the place."
I suddenly had anger towards Crest.
"Lynn, wait here, I might be a while," I told Lynn.
"Who is this Soni person anyway?" she asked.
"Don't worry, it's going to be alright," I said as I ran towards the garage.
On my way to the garage, I stopped at my dorm. I opened my closet, and started putting in a code for the lock for my personal weapons closet. I opened it, and the most beautiful machine gun the public can legally own was in front of me. This machine gun was the most state-of-the-art gun. It could even shoot down some small MTs. It kinda looked like a much smaller version of a rifle for an AC, and its ammunition is armor-piercing and highly explosive. It could shoot through light armor, and a few shots can shoot through medium armor. If it hit heavy armor, the shell would explode, still causing significant damage. I grabbed this gun and ran back downstairs to the garage.
The garage already had my AC and the minor repairs were done. I quickly got in and turned on the AC. From the information database that was connected to my AC's computer, I located the Crest research facility. I walked out of the garage and boosted toward Crest.

After about an hour, I arrived at the location. I went up to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked, as usual. My head unit didn't have enough hacking ability to open it, so I waited outside for someone to come out.
After about 30 minutes, some gunshots came from inside the building. When I looked, the front door opened and a heavy weight humanoid with a MG/1000 in it's left hand and a really big gun in the right. It was yellowish with green dots. It was only using the MG/1000, and was only carrying the other weapon. I put my AC on low power to avoid being seen on the radar. I watched as a few MTs followed the AC out the door, but the AC just mowed them down with his MG/1000.
After a while, it looked like he was out of ammo. He threw the MG/1000 at the MTs, but then aimed the big gun. I instantly knew what it was! It was the chain gun from the parts expo! The barrel began to rotate and a stream of bullets came from the gun, nearly making another door! When the smoke cleared, only rubble remained of the MTs. This was a chance to steal that chain gun.
I switched my AC back to normal mode and loaded my quad missile launcher. After one lock on, my extensions locked on and I fired the missiles. 8 missiles came at the enemy AC. I thought that this might finish him off alone, since he didn't have any extensions, or even any other weapons. But I was dead wrong!
The enemy AC fired its chain gun, and instantly destroyed all the missiles. Well, so much for that. I loaded my MG/1000 and charged at the AC. I fired my MG/1000 in a constant spray, since the heavyweight was so slow. I was getting lots of easy hits and I thought I was going to win, until I received a few shots of the chain gun.
I was hit by a few chain gun rounds and my AC was struck to the ground. My AC was overheating already! I asked for a damage report, and the core had severe hull fractures. That chain gun is a beast! I boosted left while the enemy AC continued firing his chain gun. My AC was faster than his could turn, so I easily flanked him and came at his side with my laser blade. I got a good hit, but the armor of his AC was really thick. I boosted backwards and started firing my MG/1000 again.
By now he turned around to face me and started firing his chain gun. He got few hits on me again, but only about 3 or 4. I boosted up so I was right above him. I came down and landed with each of my legs on his shoulders. His AC could support my weight. I brought my left arm straight down, grabbed on to the AC's head, and yanked as hard as I could.
You'd think 'Oh, Myk's a warrior! That AC is finished!', but that's not the case. Heads are usually bolted on super tight on heavyweights, so the head of the enemy AC didn't budge at all. So instead, I brought my laser blade straight down. I plunged the blade as deep in as I could, and I guess it must have punctured the generator, so the AC shut down.
I boosted backwards to look at the satisfying destruction I caused.and I was sure as hell satisfied. I went up to the rubble to get the chain gun. Damn! The thing was heavy! I couldn't even move it. I tried yanking it, and it probably only moved a foot. I decided that I could pick it up later. I went toward the facility's entrance and moved the rubble that used to be MTs so I could get inside.
I'm going to find Soni.
