I crept out and frowned.
The next batch weren't alone. They were all together.
Usually, that won't mean i can't go quiet anymore. And that it was time to go loud, but luckily i had this one good trick that Scavs absolutely HATE prepared!
Flipping open the fake cover of my handy-dandy watch, i slammed my palm down on the big red button beneath and watched in satisfaction as TRUE STEALTH Mode happened.
Time to go SNAKE.
Terry 'Terror' Hamilton, leader of the Greatest Wraith Branch to roam the Badlands was in the midst of explaining his masterful plan once more on how he would have totally seized that Arasaka AV if it wasn't for that kissass Isaac jumping the gun when the lights cut out.
"NERD, FIX I-"
Before he could finish shouting at the Nerd, the lights flashed back on again allowing Terry to see all of his crew hanging on his every word. Yep, Nine of his most adoring fans, the ones that he could rely on to back him when he went to put the screws to Isaa-
THERE WERE ONLY NINE OF THEM.
Quickly scanning the room once more, Terry could still only count up to Nine members, the NERD that handled all the Net stuff had disappeared with nothing but what looked like a overturned box near his desk full of nerd stuff.
Terry found himself frowning as he attempted to remember if that box had being that when he started explaining his plan. Just as he was about to approach it, a ding from his laptop distracted him from doing so.
WHEW, that was closed! Maybe it had been a tad over-ambitious to sneak across the whole room and take down the Netrunner before the lights sprung back on, but like what Kojima Sensei and taught me, TRUE STEALTH Mode can never be broken!
And now, with the Netrunner down, time to start implementing the Extra PAYOUT Device!
Taking advantage of the relatively empty room as the majority of the Wraiths within darted away the moment Mr Borg strolled off, i pounced on the two remaining guys in quick succession.
I mean, i was only going to stop at one but when the other guy went and said "Man, this batch is totally rad, i see a box eating Brandon" , i had to do it!
Though it was a good thing i managed to hack his voicebox, because while the shouts of " AHHHH, THE BOX IS EATING ME! MY LEGS, MY LEGS!" was hilarious, it would have been a tad loud.
Still, Mission Accomplished, and now to launch the Extra PAYOUT Device before cleaning up the den! Dragging my unconscious BONUS PAY Money Sacks to a convenient window, i attached the device to their backs and watched as they soared to the Great Jail Cell in the Sky with the aid of my trusty PAYOUT Balloon.
Ok. So technically Hiromi promised they be sent to prison after Arasaka is done running some "little teeny tests" but i'm not exactly sure they'll survive said test. Still, it couldn't happen to more deserving dudes!
Now time to clean up the mess!
Terry Hamilton found himself panicking. But only slightly! Sure, everyone in the base seemed to have been killed but him, and sure he had not figured out who was doing it, but he wasn't worried!
No siree! Terry had the power to make Time his servant! And he'll be more then willing to show it to that the person when they showed up! Yeah, just like that little purple haired gremlin that was standing on the roof and looking at him!
Wait a minute. Did the group had any purple haired gremlins?
OH. OH. SO, THAT WAS THE ONE THAT HAD BEEN MESSING UP HIS DEN! Well, now he was going to have to stroll up that roof and throw her off it just to show that he meant BUSINESS.
Keeping his cyber eye focused on her, Terry started making his way to the stairs when he started to pay more attention to the gestures the Gremlin was doing.
What did she mean by pointing at him before pointing upwards and then slamming her fist into her open palm? And was it him or was the sky getting darker?
Driven by curiosity, Terry looked up only to get the perfect view of what the underside of an Caliburn looked like for all of 2 seconds before it and his skull came into even closer contact.
Scratch one Borg! Sure, it came at the price of Malcom's car, but sacrifices had to be made! All thanks to arranging for an Express Delivery and hacking it to dispose of the cargo midflight!
I mean, even though i hacked into the Express Delivery to get it delivered for free, people would totally ask questions if the vehicle in question is like a shitty Archer and no way could i send my baby in right?
Still no worries, i'll totallly make it up to Malcom! Afterall i remembered the local Batman's car being stashed somewhere around here! i'll just loot that and give it to him!
Hmm, i wonder if i can get Malcom to growl "I am the Night" ?
