Hive Warfare! Part Duex

Max: “Ideally high caliber mortars. But for bunkers I guess they’ll do”

Akira: "We have this thing called roofs, max. mortars don't work inside."

Max: “Shush, I said ideally”

*kerak pops his head over akira's. Standing behind her and quite literally talking over her, seeing as he's 7 foot tall, and she's five foot four.* "Or Kroot could hunt silent yes? Bite throats, take place quiet?"

*Max shakes his head*
“It’ll work for the first few bunkers, but once we breach the complex it’ll become a meat grinder. From what little I know they’ve fortified one of the big mining complexes. Lots of corridors interspersed with big clearings. Killing fields.”

Akira: "Flamers. It'll have to be. Flamers and molotovs. Then the breach team."

Max: *nods* “We’ll take the outer ring of bunkers, and then breach the complex wherever they are weakest. From there we grind through, until they’re all dead.”

Akira: "We're gonna need a whole truckload of grenades."

Max: “And enough men to use them, I’ll have gangers start scouting as soon as we’re back. You gonna join the assault?”

Akira: "Of course."

Max: “I’ll join you then, hopefully the cogboy has fixed my gun”

Akira: "If he hasn't should teach you not to break shit."

Max: “It swung an axe at me!”

Akira: "That gun is worth more than you are. Block with your face."

Max: “What? And risk ruining my dashing good looks?“

Akira: "Why didn't i shoot you in that market." *she starts walking back the way they came, throwing her hands up in the air* "I ask myself this every day!"

Max: “She can hear him chuckling as he follows her*

Akira: "One bullet, and the biggest pain in my ass would magically disappear!"

Max: “You’d be stuck with my job! And you fuckin hate it”

Akira: "..............." *Eyebrow raised.* "ohhhh you're getting it later."

Max: “It’ll take a while to rally the men, does ‘it’ have to wait?”

Akira: "Because of that comment, yes."

Max: “Aww” *Having caught up he puts a hand on her hip and matches her pace* “Nothing can persuade you otherwise? Not even a lovely romantic evening setting people on fire and carving out yet more land of our own”

Akira: "I think, after that, i'll want a shower and a nap. Maybe a quick roll in the morning." *she puts an index finger on his chin, steers his face towards hers, kisses him quickly, then pushes his face away.* "But we've got shit to do!"

Max: *Satisfied with this result Max smiles to himself and pulls Akira along as he walks* “You prepare your Kroot and the assault teams, I’ll ready the flamers and general chaff”

Akira: "Scrounge up as many grenades and shields as you can while you're at it."

Max: “I’ve got a couple of refractor fields I fixed up for you. For everyone else..I’ll find some heavy duty ballistic shields”

Akira: "The kroot and i already have shields, i was thinking for the people coming in behind us."

Max: “I’ll see what I can do. Who do we want following you?”

OOC: I have been on a train for 5 fucking hours. I want to strangle something.

Akira: "This is going to be a shitshow. Keep the juves back, have them run ammo. I want good men behind me."

Max: “That’s a given, Juves will panic. I’ll make sure we have veterans backing you. Corridors and open rooms so shield teams and assault teams. Push slowly in corridors and use the shields to protect the assault teams until they can strike”

Akira: "Get as many combat stims as you can as well. I don't want people dropping from a single lasbolt."

Max: “Stims won’t cover having your arm obliterated, but I’ll have them handed out. With enough doctors for our wounded in reserve...do you or the Kroot need anything?”

Akira: "Could have the juves start praying. Luck'd be a fine thing."

Max: “Have our local ‘priest’ lead a battle hymn, maybe have him bless shit to calm everyone’s nerves?”

Akira: "Should do some good."

Max: *Nods* “Bastards we’re fighting are built like space marines, and have enough drugs to fund pretty much anything we want. As long as we don’t let them get close we’ll be set”

Akira: "well lets hope they still burn."

“Everything burns”

"Damn right it does."

Max: “My Black Hand will be dispersed amongst our men, and I’ll keep four with me”

*Akira is fairly familiar with the Black Hand, gangers personally chosen by Max for their loyalty and ferocity in battle.  They act as his rather more murderous equivalent to the Kroot. Only instead of being assault troops, they specialise in mercilessly reducing all in their path to ashes*

OOC: Edited the character bit of my original post. Changed and improved elements of descriptions and made the Akira-Rhossin fued a little more clear. Namely that Rhossin is really protective of Max but she uses this trust to manipulate the man. Which Akira has routinely shutdown at gunpoint

OOC: Want to continue??

OOC: Sure

Akira: "You'll keep back from the shitshow, right?"

Max: “Only if you do. Besides, I’ll have Rhossin and the Black Hand with me, I’ve yet to see something get passed them”

"Just stay a little back okay? Just behind the push. For me?"

*Max goes quiet for a moment, thinking the request through. Before nodding*
“Alright, for you”

Akira: *kisses him on the cheek* "Thanks."

*He squeezes her hand appreciatively, not wanting to prematurely kill her good mood*

Akira: "Quick bite to eat before we go fuck up some roid junkies?"

Max: *nods* “Mess or would you rather I cook?”
