USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT)- 'The Real'

Like Mooks, you need three successes.

Because I can really remember how many successes it takes to kill the average mook...

Well, we're certainly going to be hard-pressed to kill anything in a single turn, that's for sure.

Fairly clear. Though, you just had to make the guns heat up, didn't you...

Nah, don't worry about my griping! 😛

"You ready?" Cloud asks San, moving with his calamari cooker to a position to protect the philo guys if sentinals should break through.

EDIT: Oh, while Finn is busy manning the guns, can I take the position of operator, to help the Philo guys out? 😛

I think San wanted that. 😛

Mors is all set. He will be issuing firing plans once we get started. We want dead squids, not lots of damaged ones...

I knew there'd be an overheating issue...

If things overheat, how long does it take to cool it off?

Anyways, Ares is ready to blow these bastards away.

Yes indeed I did, if possible 😛

I'd guess at the same rate they cool off normally?

Well, I'd assume an overheat would have some sort of penalty on the cooling...

I thought the penalty would be just on misfires and blowing up, not cooling down badly...

Eh...let's not do that then...

Yea..
Try not to overheat,
But don't be afraid to push it. Don't get too scared of the overheat. Keep shooting.

Melis is ready to fire!

"Don't have much of a choice." San replies to Cloud.

And ready San is, to do...um...whatever Marduk needs her to do...

Meeeyah! Lets roll.

Shadowed by the Percy, the Shez speeds through the tunnels.

"Contact time fifteen seconds!" yells Sequel.

"Faster!" says Dallas.

"What?"

"More power to the engines! Catch them at the corner!"

"Oh crap..."

The Shez's engines grow incandescently bright and you all feel the llurch as you shove forwaards at greater speed.

And then one more turn and...

The Shez steers headlong into a seething mass of sentinels that seemed to be blocking the entire tunnel. The argument of the small cars vs the tank on the highway is won by the tank. The sentinels seem slightly taken aback at turning the corner themselves only to be confronted by many tons of shipping coming their way and have no time to organise.

Shez rams them.

"SPIN!" calls out Dallas, and the next few seconds are hard on your stomachs...

"Jesus I didn't know this ship could do that..." Ares grumbles as he feels himself spin with the ship. His radar goes nuts as the Sentinels streak past the ship, but he holds his fire until he can get a better shot.

Mors keeps a grim face, used to the forces of intense hovercraft maneuvers by this point in his career.

"All Shez guns prepare to fire forwards," Mors says, clinging to his controls. "Percy, get ready to clean up what we miss."

"Holy crap! Captain, some warning might be useful next time!"

Hawk takes on a more businesslike tone as his stomach quits trying to burst out of his torso.

"Ready to fire, Mors, on your orders," he says, turning the gun to aim forward.

Dozens of Sentinels are trying to keep a hold on the Shez, but the spinning is throwing them off to one side. This blats a hole through the sentinel cloud which the Percy flies into.

"Open fire!" yells Marduk. it's hard to miss at this point (no game rules required yet); the air is 99% robot.

Burn Opens fire upon sentinals coming toward the Percy!
"Lets do this!! Comon!"
