These Schematics are shit" said Vanderlei
"It's from The Animals, don't expect good quality tech" said Hendo
"Yeah but still these shards glitch harder then a Proxy on Numbness" said Vanderlei
"You mean a proxy OD'ing on Numbness" said Hendo
"Same Shit" said Vanderlei
"No. it ain't" said Hendo
"Tell me the difference" said Vanderlei
"Ones dead due to Numbness, the other is almost dead due to Numbness, she ain't dead yet" said Hendo
"Bullshit, no proxy can handle Numbness or even live long enough to OD on it, they just die immediately because they ain't built like that" said Vanderlei
"My point still stands" said Hendo
"No it doesn't because the situation in general wouldn't happen" said Vanderlei
And they argued and argued until it all just became noise to Terry.
Hendo and Vanderlei were probably the best duo in Maelstrom, together can cause major damage to any group they're up against.
The issue is that they have the attention span of Flys.
Despite the retardation.
They were a benefit.
Shane was being a dumb ass and was listening to what the 2 nimrods were saying and was actually giving the bases of the argument the time of day.
And then there was Rich and Dum Dum flipping a coin for the 5th time on who takes the transport bay.
Because neither wanted to go through the front doors.
"YOU CAN'T OD WITHOUT STILL BEING ALIVE MORON" said Hendo
"AND IM SAYING IT DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE IT'S A BULLSHIT SITUATUIION THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN" said Vanderlei
"I Give Up, I'm Done, Fuck This Guy" said Hendo pointing his SMG at Vanderlei.
As Vanderlei put his Shotgun in Hendo's face.
The worst part is that the same end was happening between Rich and Dum Dum as they had already started popping shots at each other.
"You Stupid Fuck, take your Loss like the loser you are" said Dum Dum.
"Fuck You, it's suicide and you know it" said Rich.
As both had long left the vehicles and were trading shots backs and forth with each other.
Vanderlei and Hendo had taken sides different from the teams that were previously established.
Shane and Terry decided to just go to what was already pre Established before, The Squabble happened.
And for a good 40 minutes a shoot out took place between the team Shane and Terry being the only 2 not taking part of such baffoonery.
At least that was until a Transport arrived.
Right when that transport came into view.
Any idiocy was out the window and everyone got back in the van quick.
Dum Dum got on the holo.
Rich was taking video of the Transport as he was wispering to himself.
Hendo and Vanderlei were getting some drones preped and ready.
And Shane was getting more loaded up.
Terry had no idea what was going on anymore as he was just following Shane's lead.
"What the fuck is going on" said Terry pointing to Shane.
"Something big, our clean up job just got made more troublesome then what it was originally" said Shane not knowing the details yet understanding that plans just flipped.
"That Transport was a Biotechnica shipment, which that by itself can be a great asset or the end of anyone that touches it" said Hendo.
"Cannibal fucks did biz with Arasoka and Fucking Petrochem, they got spots around the globe, Headquarters in Rome yet they got Spots in Dallas, Seattle, London, Sydney, Rio De Janeiro, Hamamatsu,
They try to pass themselves off as a small Corp but they got hands in every corps pockets, and they make they're own Bioware products which are currently on the market" spoke Vanderlei.
"Have you been keeping an eye on the market, Van" spoke Hendo
"Always, but product from Biotechnica outside the usual food and goods, Not much anymore, I want to say shortage, but those products have been out since 2078, they might be moving to discontinuation or just a complete shut down of they're Bioware divison" spoke Vanderlei
"What's the stocks" spoke Hendo
"Average, nothing goes down to a point that could cause drastic changes but it's not moving up drastically either so they're not making a killing but they ain't going desperate, so maybe its not a discontinuation or a shut down" said Vanderlei
"Maybe a new bioware product" spoke Hendo.
"Yo Rich, what's your take on Biotechnica Product" spoke Hendo.
"Decent, but nothing to write home about, I've seen some good modded shit of they're products so that's probably why they get business in the first place, not alot of companies dabble in Bio Mechanical Engineering the way they do" spoke Rich.
"What's your eyes" spoke Rich.
"Looks like a plane shipment, they're not expecting heat" spoke Dum Dum
"But weren't you all just shooting each other a few minutes ago" spoke terry
"This is Pacifica, shoot outs, and gunfire is a daily occurance around these parts" spoke Hendo
"Dumb fucks probably thought it was a couple of Booster gangs fucking around and decided to ignore it" spoke Vanderlei
"Ok, Change of Plans" spoke Dum Dum as he got off the Holo.
"Bet is off, this mission went from loud and messy, to quiet and clean, were all going through the back and were taking them all out and then taking they're shipment back to the Totentanz"
"And the contact" said Hendo.
"They know now, they want to discuss it further after retrivel" spoke Dum Dum.
"Silincers on" spoke Rich as everyone began attaching silencers to they're current weaponry.
Rich began to replace certain Daemons in his Cyberdeck.
As the situation called for it.
"Let's move" said Dum Dum as everyone followed.
It was the afternoon as everyone in the crew stuck to the shadows.
Examining the Transport bay with they'reKiroshi Optics as they spotted about 8 different people.
2 from the transport, 3 Scavs, and 3 from random Booster gangs.
"Pick your shots make'em clean, 2 for each"
"I got 2 of the Scavs" said Vanderlei as he prepared some knives for the occasion to take out his targets.
"I'll take out the last Scav and one of the Boosters" said Hendo as he readied his SMG marking his targets in red.
"The last 2 Boosters are mine" said Shane as he readied his rifle taking aim.
"I'll take both Transporters" said Terry as he aimed his Ashura.
"I'll begin going through they're interface and get visual of everything inside" said Rich as he stuck to the shadows and kept to himself as he began hacking the buildings sub interface.
"I'll take care of the situation if anyone fucks up, on my mark take the shot" spoke Dum Dum as he had his Revolver ready.
The pressure was so tight that Shane was getting caught up in it.
He didn't want to fuck this up, as this missions went from black mail to an oppurtunity and if he did good here he saw more jobs like this in the future.
Terry was ready as he had his targets lined up perfectly, he was getting anxious but he was managing.
Vanderlei and Hendo were unexpressive as this was far from they're first rodeo, and they were ready to get into the heat of it all.
Right now they were in they're Habitat.
Dum Dum watched and examined as everyone was ready for his Mark.
But he wasn't ready to give it yet as he waiting on Rich to cut this groups connections and coms.
He hated to make the freaks wait but what was a boy to do.
As he had his Revolver ready and overall the only thing bothering him was Shane and if he would Crack under the pressure.
Vanderlei and Hendo were an experienced duo that tore they're way up to the high ranks in Maelstrom.
And ever since they made it to the Totentanz he had been they're baby sitter.
He knew what they were capable of.
And he didn't have to worry about Terry because Terry may be the youngest out of the group but he was smart and knew how to line up his shots.
As long as he did his part that's all that matters.
Shane was the mystery Salad though, he had heard about Shane and Marcus and how they worked they're way up in the All Foods plant.
Two kids with a chip on they're shoulder but had enough luck to get by.
Believe it or not, they were both in line to get tested to possibly get moved up, not to the Totentanz, but an upgrade from the All Foods and get real opportunities to make good cash.
But then the situation with 6th Street went down and now that was history.
But the mystery remained, he hadn't seen Shane work, specially under pressure.
"Your Clear" said Rich giving Dum Dum the green light as dum dum opened his mic.
"Mark"
And in an instant all tension was released and dropped like an axe.
Vanderlei threw 2 knives with enough force that both knives went through the throats of birth targets and instantly killing the 2 Scavs as the bleed crazy.
Hendo went and popped in 2 shots each on the last Scav and one of the Boosters as they're brains got splatterd on the nearest wall.
Shane took his chance and fired only 2 shots on the last Boosters blowing they're brains out easily.
And in One swift motion both Transporters were killed instantly with one shot from Terry and his Ashura.
All dead, area cleared.
"Preem work, Rich get to work on the transport and send me a visual of the spots inside" said Dum Dum as he waved for the rest of the team to deal with the bodies as they started lining them up behind the transport.
Dum Dum got a visual as he got a good look at the G.I.M.
"Damn, there's got to be at least 40 of 'em" said Dum Dum as he looked from camera to camera.
"71, counting the 4 that were just killed, so now there are 67 left" said Rich as he began showing Dum Dum the path to get inside.
"If you continue through this path it will take you to a weight room on the second floor there are 10 Scavs pumping iron in there, from what I've seen top 4 floors are also inhabited by most of the heat so you have two options"
"Clear the second and go up from there or clear the second and then the bottom floor and then go up from there" said Dum Dum as he was catching on to the same train of thought as Rich.
"Keep your com open for this order" said dum dum.
"Van, Hendo. Move up to the Weight room ahead 10 pulses waiting to get flatlined" said Dum Dum as the two freaks ran off to get the deed done.
Shane, Terry, your with me, there is a store on this floor that has a stair way to the third floor.
Were going to clean whatever trash is on the way and we're going to get a head start on the third, Rich take charge of Van and Hendo someones gotta steer them in the right direction.
Also, do some tech magic for me and turn off the lights on my mark" spoke Dum Dum as he closed his mic.
"Ok, you two on me,
let's get this work"
In the matter of seconds 10 bodies were flatlined.
In the most brutal way possible.
5 scavs, 5 Boosters.
One scav had his knees blown off while he was bench pressing 250 pounds dropped the bar and it landed on his head caving his head in and snapping neck killing him instantly.
Another scave had a hole blown throught her core while she was working on the leg press machine pushing about 220 pounds once they were shot they could no longer hold the weight as the machine crushed they're legs and folded the scav to death.
One of the bigger scavs was lifting 400 pounds off the squat rack, they're legs were shot to shreds as the scav collapsed with the 400 pounds coming down upon his neck killing him instantly.
2 scavs were doing some curls with 50 pound dumb bells but then dropped them on what seemed to be they're last rip as both they're heads were blown off by Shotgun fire.
2 boosters were ripped to shreds by sub machine gun bullets as they were working on the pull up bars but then dropped lack a sack a shit after the devastation occurred.
3 Boosters weren't even working out just chatting up as if they were in a bar or something, a knife was throw and pierced one of the Boosters throats as they died choking on they're blood, the 2nd Booster was shot right between the eyes dieing upon impact, and the last Booster had his head blown off with a blood splattering the other 2.
In the matter of seconds all 10 of these gang members were turned to scrambled ligaments and organs as they were all mushed up together in a pool of each others blood.
Vanderlei and Hendo were waiting on the others as they examined the other targets throught their optics.
Looking from the first floor to the second floor.
The rest to them were unimportant as they're time would soon be upon them.
But right now they were just waiting for orders.
And that's when it came in.
"So much for Clean Work, Dip Shits"
"Don't be mad because you had to hold back" said Vanderlei trying to find a way for both he and hendo to get out of this nagging for they're recklessness.
"6 more on this floor for clean up"
"We'll take care of it"
"No, wait on Dum Dum"
"Fuck That" said Vanderlei as he ran off.
"I got him" said Hendo as he joined Vanderlei to clean up the rest of the floor.
"God damn it" said Rich as Dum Dum knew that this would happen he would leave it to him to deal with them.
Rich said fuck it in his head and activated the turret on the bottom floor as there was a combined amount of 15 people on the bottom floor.
The turret ripped them to shreds as blood and guts sprayed the place a new sort of Crimson, making the white floor really pop.
Hell was being raised as Dum Dum planned.
As Rich, Van, and Hendo were shooting the place to hell.
Dum Dum, Shane, and Terry snuck around the Morons and found they're way up to the third floor.
"What happened to the plan of clean and silent" said Terry.
"Out the window I forgot those 2 Morons only do what they want to do, had to improvise" said Dum Dum.
As he unloaded his special DR-5 Nova all 4 bullets finding they're targets and making they're heads non-existent.
Shane didn't ask questions, he just shot and killed the enemies which he killed about 4 enemies using his clip wisely and tearing through the trash.
Terry was a rather Recent addition to Maelstrom and he was losing it over the drastic plan changes, nothing is ever concrete, nothing can ever be what was originally planned, it's ever changing and it usually leads to the most bloody outcome.
Regardless of this Terry still lined up his shots and took out 2 of enemies with only 1 bullet and then took out his pistol which was a DR12 Quasar and unloaded the entire clip in the last enemy.
Together they had cleaned up the 3rd floor.
And right behind them was The retarded duo, Vanderlei and Hendo were ready to go and rip heads off chickens if they were ordered to.
"Who's left" said Dum Dum.
"11 ahead on the 4th floor, 7 on the 5th, 4 on the 6th" said Rich
"22 left" said Dum Dum as he pointed to Vanderlei and Hendo and then to the stairway to the 4th floor.
The duo understood as they went in for the clean up.
As they left Dum Dum reloaded his Revolver.
"Load up" said Dum Dum as Shane and Terry did as they were told as all they could is the gunfire on the floor above them.
Dum Dum pulled out a cigar and lit it as he decided to take a smoke break.
Shane decided to load more clips as he had began to take bullets from all the Scavs and Boosters that have been killed and add on to his bullet count.
Terry was just trying to catch a breather.
"Feeling the pressure" said Dum Dum.
"I knew what I was signing up for, but still being in the heat of it all is still way different then the imagination can predict" said Terry
"I'm used to it already, if it makes you feel better I'll go ahead of you and give you openings to take some of that pressure off your shoulders" said Shane
"You've both done good so far, a little bit more experiences and you'll probably be moved up
But until then I'm still going to use you both like lap dogs, Shane is going in first, and Terry you'll follow, and I'm going to finish my smoke, have fun with that"
And it didn't take long for the gun fire from the 4th floor to end as Shane and Terry moved on up to the 4th as they didn't stop to look at the carnage done by the Retarded Duo.
And then moved onto the 5th floor as Shane once getting to the next floor didn't wait for any retaliation as he fired away emptying the whole clip instantly taking out 4 of the enemies.
Terry used to oppurtunity to line up his shot and take out 2 of the enemies with one bullet from his Ashura and then switched up back to his Quaisar and unloaded the whole clip in the last enemy on the 5th floor.
Vanderlei and Hendo caught up with them as smacked both Terry and Shane in the back of the head as if tagging in as the went to clean up the 6th floor as there was only 4 left.
No questions asked, no answers needed.
The Grand Imperial Mall was cleared and so was the job.
Dum Dum didn't just take a smoke break, he decided to just leave this mission to the rest of the team while he sat on his ass on the bottom floor waiting on the rest of them to get down.
Choosing specifically to sit next to the turret that tore apart the 15 enemies at the bottom floor.
He got on the holo to talk to royce to fill him in on the status of the job and of new info.
Effective yet short convo.
That'd how they've always worked.
Dum Dum the do'er and Royce The Giver.
The convo ended and the group meet up as Dum Dum filled everyone in.
"Well Dip shits. Jobs closed, last thing we got to do is wait for the animals to show up and take control from here"
"Ez, Pz, just like that" said Hendo questioning waiting for the punchline to arrive.
But it never came as Dum Dum didn't continue further.
"Well fuck me, easiest favor ever forced on me" said Vanderlei as he his shoulders relaxed same with hendo.
"Fucking christ, sweating bullets back there" said Shane as his heart was at ease as well taking in the hype of success at his feet.
Terry didn't need to say anything as he was feeling everything of what everyone else was feeling.
A job well done and the desire for a beer is the only thing that was on his mind.
Dum Dum turned and everyone followed as they walked out through the front door.
And right when they left the G.I.M they saw that there was a Galena full of Scavs coming right for them at full speed.
But it didn't last long as as the vehicle was shot with an explosive as it set the car a blaze and Exploded in movement as everyone saw the fireworks display and turned toward the direction of where the blast came from.
And it was no other then Rich as he used his Projectile Launcher System arm Cybernetic.
"Forgot to Holo in about some extra flies, but I took care of them" said Rich as in his other hand was his rifle Moron Labe.
As everyone got a look around and saw more bodies around.
"How much" said Dum Dum
"Not Much, first car came and hacked the driver crashed into a wall, second car came in and i unloaded a few clips into them before they had the chance to find good cover, and the car that Exploded was the last car" said Rich.
"What the new Orders" said Rich.
"Sit and wait" said Dum Dum as the group moved back into the Villefort Columbus as they waited on the Animals to show which lucky for them, came not too long as it was 4 red 620 Ragnar's rather rolled up on the scene.
Only 2 peoples left the Columbus.
Dum Dum and Rich.
As the person that was taking charge was a dark man in black suit, very big, looked like if he flexed the suit would tear.
"It clear" said the man in the suit.
"Cleared, your welcome to check it if you don't believe me" said Dum Dum
"Ha, I believe you, but I do have to say, not as sloppy as I had in mind" said the man in the suit.
"Take it as a sign that we take this Biz between us serious" said Rich
"Before you leave, is it true the Transport is Biotechnica" said The man in the suit.
"I'm for sure it is, but I have to admit I'm not too familiar with Biotechnica Transporters" said Rich.
"I am, I'll take a look at it before you take it" said the man in the suit.
The man in the suit turned to his fellow Animal gang members and yelled.
"Move into the G.I.M, get a head start on the clean up" said the man as the whole group moved in the Grand Imperial Mall.
As the man in the suit now moved as Rich followed but Rich made signs for Vanderlei and Hendo to follow.
In which they followed behind.
And they made they're way back to the Tranport bay and to the Biotechnica Transporter.
The man in the suit went in and looked into the transporter itself.
As he went to the keylock of the Transport and input a specefic code that caused a sound to occur upfront.
"So how do you know so much about Biotechnica Transports"
"Used to work for the company used to prepare the shipments myself and eventually I made it high enough in the company to repair the transports.
The company are smart in how they save money so they specifically only use transport ships from 2067 and hire few repairman under them to help with getting they're transports in order.
What people don't understand that make Biotechnica transports different then other companies even arasoka is that Biotechnica specifically get they're transports made by Villefort and one key part that let's you know that Villefort made the transport is the very specefic code the opens up the front to reveal the huge headlight with the Villerfort logo on it" said the man in the suit.
As when they went to the front of the Transport they saw the huge headlight with the villefort logo.
"Wouldn't this big headlight be a disaster money wise"
"Well that's why this particular transport model is only used and bought by Biotechnica, it's a staple to the company yet it doesn't look much different then any other" said the man in the suit.
"It's low key" said Rich
"See your starting to get it" said the man in the suit.
"Anyway the transport is legit, good doing business with you" said The Man in the suit as he raised his hand for a shake.
"Rich" said Rich as he shaked the man's hand.
"Mike Rotwell" said the man in the suit.
"Till the next business venture, Mike" said Rich as he waved for Vanderlei and Hendo to get in the transport and get to the Totentanz.
"You as well Rich" said Mike as he went inside the G.I.M through the transport bay.
Hendo got in the driver seat of the transporter and Vanderlei hung on the back as the goal from here was to drive the transport through Pacifica, and take a detour through Arroyo, Santo Domingo, and then crossover to Charter Hill Westbrook and then through Japan town all the way to Northside.
Damn was it going to be a Long Night.
To Be Continued.
