You forgot that Hardwire is lights years away on earth (billions of miles away)
The cyborg is back in Nuterra. The Mole is the one with him, together in the same place. So who's the back up?

Wow.....it is a Gbem gbem something them.......

Jade laid prone on the cold metal floor of a railing attached to a comsat signal tower with the rough metallic surface protruding on her body through the thick thermal clothing she had covered her self with. It was already night time, the night over Puerta del Cielo wasn’t really full black but a grayish indigo making the star lights a little more brighter than on earth. Unlike earth, it has three full moons and five dwarf moons orbiting the planet. Of the three moons, only one is up now, the other two are yet to come up. While the dwarf moons are all on the sky appearing like huge stars with unblinking steady lights.
The comsat signal tower was a mast with crisscrossed thin iron rods having several platforms as the support poles tapered to a point at the peak. The signal tower was old and out of use, but the metallic materials used in its built was coated with anti rust and anti aging oil, so it has remained standing all these years. Just some around 2000 meters from it is the target her attention was fixed. Through underground channels, she and Loomis have been able to discover the location the senator was kept. It was a two story well built house just some distance away from the residential section of one of the numerous highbrow dwellings common on the planet. This building was located away from the general places obviously for privacy reasons. The owner of the place, Jade discovered had sold it to a recent visitor to Puerta del Cielo. The former owner had died shortly in an air car accident after the sale. But the body was never recovered. In his record, his name was Rodney Howard Jones Jr. The owner of Blue Glade Resort, a place which Loomis found out does not exist. The new owner of the place newly arrived to this planet bought it for a company name Oatshell Management Inc., a company said to be registered on Mars, in the solar system. The name of the front buyer was Rhahada Murshmaan. Both the name of the buyer and the company that bought it doesn’t exist. These are the things that raised several red flags about the place. An on-site recon by Loomis clinched it that this was the place the kidnapped senator was kept.

Ride on sir....i tag this one 'Escape from Katanger'....nice update

Sorry guys, spam bot took me out since Monday, can't really get where my last update stopped because it was deleted. Let me just repost from here though I suspect I have posted part of it before.



She took a deep breath to still every involuntary moves of her muscles, calming the wave of anticipation with her eyes closed for few seconds letting the cold night breeze fill her lungs. Her eyes popped open fixed on the three targets on the roof. The view on her digital scope shows them moving at irregular paths and eyes fixed on the gate to the compound, the areas within its fance then occasionally raising a kind of binoculars to watch the air.



The watchers are all covered with level five body armor that can withstand a rifle bullet even at point blank range. Their heads were covered with a shatter proof ceramic plated titanium alloy deflective helmet, that can displace the trajectory of a rifle projectile round .



Jade wasn’t concerned about the protection they have on them because her .100 caliber bullets are guaranteed to penetrate whatever cover they have. She brought each of them to the cross-hairs of the rifle scope and gently squeeze the trigger.




Six rounds left the muzzle of the sniper rifle in less than a second, each pushing gently on her shoulder where the stock of the rifle was placed. It has been argued in the past to make sniper rife totally recoilless but practical use of that aspect of weapon demands that the shooter gets a kind of feeling when shots are fired, especially if the rifle is made with a silencer imbedded.





Anyway long use of the rifle by snipers have ingrained in them the always expected gentle kick of the rifle butt on their shoulders.

This one is too lng na......more please

Jade saw three head explode in rapid succession on her scope. Two bullets on each targets. Thankfully the targets all fell back on the roof, none fell on the floor of the compound, that would have alerted the ones patrolling the floor.



She tapped the micro comm on her ears and spoke. “Clear on the roof, but don’t have a clear shot to take out all five sentries on the ground at once. They are too scattered. I can take one close to the gate and the other close to him but no guarantee they won’t be seen by others. “
“Acknowledged. Take em out. “ was the reply she got.



Realigning the muzzle of her gun, with the muzzle now facing down, she released four shots, all on targets and the two sentries dropped. Their bodies punched by the heavy caliber bullets, tearing through the steel and hardened rubber of their body armors, perforating flesh and body tissues with the hit of a high speed air car smashing a standing person. Their internal organs mangled beyond recognition.



She just hoped and prayed the silence is maintained because that is one of their major asset if they will successfully rescue the senator. Her next major target is the power junction supplying light for the lazer grid fence. She calmly waited for another signal from Marvel.

✳ ✳ ✳ ✳ ✳
Marvel brought out his mini spy drone, activated it and sent it up above the building doing a 360° aerial view of the place. He switched on the holo display on his wrist comm and watched the real life images the mini drone was sending to him.



He saw the three unmoving bodies on the roof with busted heads, saw the other two at the front of the building, the other three were still alive and patrolling behind the house. One of them was turning to the front, which means in less than two minutes, the dead sentries will be discovered.



They will have to move fast. His major obstacle is not the fence or gate but the lazer grid described by Jade which he was seeing from the images been sent to his wrist comm by the mini drone hovering ahead. The Mole was silently behind him watching the images too. He pointed out the power junction feeding the lazer grid, he whispered to Marvel if the mini drone can’t take out the power junction without raising suspicion .



He knew he had asked Jade to stand by for taking out that junction. But he felt that a bullet hitting the junction might just alert the people inside to their presence. Something the Mole suggested to him might work but it will involve him bringing his mini drone too close down and risk exposure, but it’s better than have Jade shoot it.

The mini drone is capable of shooting out micro wave beam at short distances. If the drone can be brought close to the power junction unseen, it may just work.



There are two micro cam watching the power junction covering almost all angle around it except a 25° part that is outside the fence. Marvel have to remote pilot the drone outside the fence, bringing it lower to its level and directing to the blind spot around the junction.



The 25° angle is a tight fix for the drone, but it was small enough to hover through. Close enough to the junction unobserved, the mini drone released microwave beam at high intensity increasing the temperature within the junction box, the micro circuitry glowed red and began to blow up in tiny electrical sparks.



The mini drone quickly zoomed up high enough to avoid detection. A causal look at it will show that the junction overheated and the circuits blew up.

welcome Apollux

Going over the data sent to him by the drone, the lazer grid over the fence was down. Quickly Marvel shed off his long over coat wearing only his black all body armor, took up his FTL MAC penetrator, fixed in a full clip. Checked him self up, his combat harness webbing worn around him, holding several pouches with extra magazine clips for the penetrator, then frag, incendiary and HE grenade clipped on his belt.




His two hand guns were in their places on their respective holsters. He came with the TEC 5 RPG, but left it in the car. He is here for a rescue mission first and not a blitz run. He checked the Mole out. He was also putting on a combat harness over a torso triple layered body armor with anti impacts protection.



His trusted bulky plasma rifle cradled in his hands, a long muzzle MAC 500 tri-barrel multi shot auto hand gun locked on a holster at his waist. Grenades were hanged on his harness. Like Marvel too, he left his very heavy ordnance in the car.



Loomis, the Earthwatch agent, stayed back a bit from them, knowing he was out of his league seeing the heavy metals they are packing
“ Loomis we are going in. You stay here till we get back. “ Marvel said to him. “On no account must you come in unless you are asked to do so by me else, me or my friend here will shot you first and wouldn’t even bother to ask any damn questions later. “

Nice work man.....Hardwirez arrival come be like Jesus second coming

Getting a weak nod from the agent, Marvel moved with the Mole and ran to the wall. At the wall, he attached air suction fix to his hands and feet. These enabled him to hanged on the wall and climbed without falling. The Mole had the same with him.


As they landed at the ground beyond the wall, they ran quickly to hide behind one of the air car packed at the front of the building. The sentry walking to the front from his patrol of the back was just coming around the bend.


The Mole signaled to Marvel that he will take the sentry out. He dropped his plasma rifle on the ground and pulled out a long combat knife from its sheath and crouched ready to pounce. The sentry walked beyond the car they were hiding before something registered in his mind that the shadow beside the car is not an item to be there.



As the sentry turned to look trying to bring his rifle in line, the Mole moved. He was like a moving wraith, his dark skin blending perfectly with the low illumination. The Mole dove at the sentry, his weight knocking him off his feet and slamming him to the ground. In a swiftness beyond the compression of the sentry, before he could make a sound, he felt a sharp blade stabbed through his neck at the narrow opening between the helmet and body armor, cutting cleaning through his throat.



His attempt at a sound ended up in undecipherable grunts. The Mole quickly ripped off the helmet from his head, before the low sounds the dying sentry is making get picked up through its comm unit.



Still following the information given to him by Marvel, the Mole found the areas the unmanned auto guns are located. Saw the power supply coils that links to the guns, the targeting sensors and the smart mini brain box.



As he was the one with the more experience in handling auto guns, he volunteered to deactivate them. With practice ease and dexterity, the Mole disconnected the alarm system attached to the guns, cut out the power supply coils to the guns effectively disabling the guns without raising an alarm.

While still crouched beside the car, Marvel took a look at the real time images being sent to him by his hovering mini drone, he noticed that the last two of the perimeter sentries in the compound were still walking their rounds behind the back. It will take too much time for him and the Mole to go round the back and take them out.



Also Marvel doesn’t want to go into the building, having likely opposition at his back. Studying the areas around the back, he noticed floor mines with smart anti temper settings. The smart recognition program may already have the readings of the sentries in its basic programs but Marvel or the Mole stepping there may just blow up the mines. That means taking the two men out will need the long touch. Jade is angled the wrong way, she might not have the angle of sight to hit them.



He toggled the remote control of the mini drone, brought it lower and directed the small gun ports on the mini drone to open. He sighted the muzzles at the sentries and clicked on the fire control. Two thin orange colored beams of concentrated light and heat, shot from the drone and hit the two patrolling men.



The beams hit them at the chest. Since the armor they are putting on has no heat sink tech, the beam burnt through them and the flesh they are made to protect. The sentries dropped to the ground silently.

Marvel signaled to the Mole that the back was clear and they can head in. Just before they can move, a loud crackle sounded from what seem like a public address system. An unseen speaker mounted somewhere in the building unseen. Both the Mole and Marvel froze in their hidden states trying to see where the loud noise is coming from.



“Marvel I welcome you here. I know you are somewhere within the compound. I have already witnessed your efficient handwork. “ the voice from the PA system blasted out.
Marvel cursed himself inwardly, there may have been other watching devices he missed that may have captured what he did and broadcasted it to those watching inside the building. Well the surprise element is lost, he will just have to improvise.



“Do not worry, bounty hunter, the senator you have been hired to rescue is still alive. “ the voice from the speaker continued. “I kept him alive because I know you will be coming for him. Please come in and get him, we are waiting for you. Be assured, I have adequate reception waiting for you. I believe you will be heartily entertained. Come on in Bleep face bounty hunter, we are waiting. “

I'm loving this Mole....he is good,ride on

Just as the sound cut off it came on again. “Uh just wanted you to know, this is Redmane speaking. “ Deafening silence covered the whole place as the speak finally went silent. The Mole crawled silently to where Marvel was still crouched.
“So what do we do Marvel? “
“We’ve been invited for a party, we honor the invitation. “ Marvel said to the ominous smiling face of his friend. He tapped the comm unit that linked him with Jade. “ We are going in, cover our backs. “



Picking up his penetrator rifle, Marvel moved to the main entrance of the building as the Mole followed behind him, using the cover and advance combat stance method. Few feet to the door, Marvel stopped and signaled to the Mole to do the same. The setup has ambush all written over it.



He directed the Mole what to do with hand signals while he stood back and hid behind a massive pillar on which the top stairs balcony was held. Plucking out a HE explosive frag grenade from his combat webbing belt , he activated and set it to explode on impact. Throwing it at the door, he squatted covering both ears with his hands. The grenade exploded as it touch the door with a loud blast. Tiny pings followed as shrapnel from the frag bomb struck stones and iron.



Just as Marvel was planning to rush at the blown out door, using the cover of the smoke and fire produced by the explosion, multiple lazer bolts and bullets from guns flew out from it. Marvel had to dive back out of the way and behind the pillar again to escape the shootings.



The Mole had stayed back on the other pillar where he was hold up. The fire coming from the inside was fierce, with bullets and lazer bolts blasting the broken parts of the door still standing, the lentils and some hitting the pillar Marvel was hiding behind and taking out huge chipping from it. The steady shooting went on for a whole minute without a response from Marvel, the duracrete pillar having received huge gorges from shots hitting it. Just then someone ordered a cease fire, called out some names to go check them out.

Ok

my turn

Marvel was holding down his breadth strongly to prevent inhaling the heavy dust on the air that had somehow gotten behind his throat, scratching it and threatened to make him blow out in a heavy fit of coughing. Looking across the distance at the Mole, since most of the lights at the entrance have been blown out my bullets or lazer bolts, the night was bright enough for Marvel to locate him. He signaled to him that they should attack.



Four shadowy forms have appeared at the blown door, starting to fan out with rifles held at the ready and eyes trying to see through the smoke and dust haze to locate any fallen body. Marvel brought the FTL MAC penetrator rifle up and around, pulling the trigger as the muzzle faced the shadows. Armor piercing bullets shot out of the gun hitting the people at the doorway. Two dropped to the ground as their bodies got perforated by the fast moving bullets.



The Mole also shot them with his plasma rifle, which shoots concentrated microwave heat in small balls of light. The balls hit the bodies burning through hardened armor and flesh. The plasma rifle is a great gun with only one weakness, its concentrated heat can be defeated with a heat sink tech covering, which none of the attackers had on. In less than a second all four were down.

Marvel raced at the door before the last of them has fallen but didn’t go through, he stayed by the left side wall of the destroyed door, then lobed in a smoke grenade through it. He needed the cover to be able to get in.


As the smoke grenade exploded spewing out thick fog of eye irritating smoke, Marvel brought down his mini drone with the remote control, directed it through the smoke covered door into the house. Soon enough loud coughs were heard inside the room, as Marvel had made sure the breeze was blowing into the house before he threw the grenade. Rapid fire followed but were wide and uncoordinated.


He had made the smoke as a cover for the mini drone getting in but that doesn’t stop him for taking advantage of it. With a quick look at the image the drone was relaying to him, he can already pin point several targets. The door led to a wide sitting room, having stairs leading up to the next story of the house. There were about five doors in that sitting room leading to other parts of the house, all opened, all having a shooter at the entrance.


Marvel realized then that he was fortunate not to have rushed into the house earlier, because the sitting room have been cleared of all furniture, so it is an open place with no single cover at all. He would have been exposed and open to fire. The case is different at the moment. Now he knows where each target is and which direction to dive in.


Looking at the images, he detected a concentration of four shooters directly opposite the entrance. Two by the doors on the left side another two by the doors on the right side. There are two stairs ways leading up, one on the right, the other on the left. The two stair ways formed a railing at the top with gold fittings. On the railings are two other shooters.

Ten warm bodies to chop to pieces, Marvel thought grimly as he dove through the wall into the sitting room, squinting his eyes as the smoke entered them. He rolled to the left side as both bullets and lazer beams chased him. There was no cover in the room, so some of the bullets and lazer bolts struck him, but his body armor and the heat sink tech under the armor dealt with that.



His gun was already lifted and firing, in semi auto settings, taking out the two shooters at the doors to the left. They both tumbled backwards as the bullets struck them. While shooting, Marvel has plucked out another frag grenade, activated it to explode on impact. He threw the grenade at the four gunners in the middle, opposite the entrance, who had turned their guns on him and firing.



He did a frontal roll both to avoid the shots hitting everywhere around him and to escape the shrapnel that will result from the grenade explosion. Before the shooters will see clearly what was thrown at them, the grenade exploded right before them knocking them off their feet and the red hot metal fragments from the grenade tore through flesh and bones.



Three of the four took the brunt of the blast directly on their faces, which the shrapnel tore like a pincushion, eyes, nose, mouth and necks all severed clean. The fourth person got his right arm slashed so badly, the part below the elbow was hanging by just a thin strip of flesh, the gun dropped from nerveless fingers. His two legs have been cut in several places, that they could no longer support his weight and he dropped to the ground.



As he mourned in pains, Marvel brought his rifle and targeted his head. With a gentle stroke of the trigger, the crying man’s head exploded in a spray of blood, bones and brain matter.
The two shooters at the top directed their guns at Marvel and opened fire. He ran ahead and dove under the protrusion of the railing, giving him a little cover temporarily from their fire. The two on the right sides of the door from across the sitting room turned their guns too on Marvel. They were both carrying lazer rifles.



They were so intent on taking out Marvel, they didn’t notice the Mole crawl into the room through the door. The Mole lifted his plasma gun, pulling the trigger, he knocked both of them off their feet and slicing there bodies with microwave bolts. The plasma gun might be just a heat generating weapon, yet the bolts it fires as bullets packs enough kinetic force to hit and knock a human target off his feet.



While under the cover of the railings, Marvel took time to notice that the floor of it was made of just thin layered duracrete, as the two gunners up there continued to fire hoping to get a lucky shot at him. Looking at the duracrete floor, he knew it was a simple matter for the armor piercing bullets of his penetrator to cut through. He switched the firing settings from semi to full auto as he lifted the muzzle of the gun upward to under the railing at the point he was sure the gunners were standing.



The bullets from the rifle broke through the duracrete floor and hit the shooters standing on it. The high impact bullets blast through the floor, hitting them and knocking them over to hit on the ground, dead and several holes on their bodies pouring out blood. Marvel pulled out the empty clip and slapped in a fresh one on the penetrator.

dapollux@gmail.com am I right

Yes, you're right

Marvel took the stair by the left, taking careful steps as he got to the area where his bullets have perforated. The Mole came from the other side, they met midway, after quick nods, slowly opened the door but didn’t enter. The bounty hunter brought the mini drone down and through the door activating its stealth mode.


The floating ball seems to disappear but with careful and penetrating look one will notice a slightly invisible tiny ripple on the air where it passes .Marvel watched the images sent by the drone as it floated for several feet, there were some doors leading to empty rooms with little or no furniture, making Marvel to wonder if any one has ever stayed in this whole house.


With heat sensor, there appear not to be a living person on that level. As the drone moved up to the next level, showing a corridor with some body heat signatures gathering around two doors opposite each other creating an ambush point. Marvel smiled showed the Mole the image as he also nodded soberly.


As the drone turned round, its visual receptors picked up several other body heat signatures that appeared stationary. From what he can read from the images, they appeared like that should be the senator and his family. But the total body counts were like six of them in a small room, one of the image was far larger than the others.


Both anger and cold feeling tingles down his spine, because the bigger image is someone he wished never to face again . The memory of him is not a pleasant one. He got close to the Mole, whispered some tactical moves with him then led the way to one of the stairs leading to the next floor.

Getting to the floor, he looked at the long passage heading both ways. He faced his left hand side, looking down the hall ways, he saw the two doors opposite each other that the ambushers lay in wait for them.


Both doors were the only open ones along that part. He gave a nod, then reached down his combat webbing, touched one of the two grenades clipped there. He ignored the concussion grenade and went for the frag one , because he brought that with him to be used in a place where both the enemy and the hostages are together. The grenade can knock people to unconsciousness or at least disorientation, that is a better bet than going in with guns blazing.


But with what the drone has showed him, those waiting in ambush are from a different place from the hostages and will be safe from a frag grenade attack. With a knowing nod to the Mole, who also pulled out a frag grenade from his belt, nodding also with a grim smile threw the grenade down the passage immediately after Marvel did the same. They both turned away hiding themselves from the expected backlash from the coming explosions.


“Hey what’s that sound? What tha’ fuc.k, it looks like a…” someone yelled down the hall way before two loud explosions cut off the rest of what he wanted to say. The explosions shock that level giving it a much more powerful bang because of the enclosed space.


Both of them charged down the hall way while the blast of the explosions were still ringing in their ears, Marvel faced the left and the Mole took the right. The grenades have blown out both doors and those behind them. Mangled bodies were what was left, no one of them survived the explosions because they have all been crowded behind both doors to get better shots at Marvel and his partner. Seeing nothing more to do, they passed the place, with smoke and fire still burning amidst the dead bodies and head down to the last room along that way.

The door was invitingly open, Marvel had to peered in the room before stepping in with rifle leveled as the Mole stepped in behind him. It was an average sized room with several occupants. The senator has his hands tied behind him, his lips bloodied and eyes puffy from hours of uncontrolled tears.


He was forced down on his knees with his clothes torn and dusty. His wife and two daughters were in the same position too, all their eyes wide open with a sudden look of fear as Marvel came in, faces showing that they have become so afraid that hope is a forgotten distant memory.


Behind them was a well muscled bald head man wearing a black leather sleeveless coat with brown combat fatigues pants. He covered the senator and his family with the lazer rifle in his hand. His bearded face was twisted into a blaze of annoyance watching them entering.


By his left is the face Marvel have dreaded to see since he took this job, an ugly face surrounded by wild red colored bushy hair and furry beard. His face was like a human lion with the red hairs forming a mane it.


The hair spread round to his shoulders that stood up like two towering mountains on which his heavily muscled hands that looked like pistons were fixed. Marvel knew he was staring at a seven foot tall monster of raw unbridled muscles with long red hairs covering every inch of it.

Stories have it that Red Mane is a cannibal, that he filed his teeth to make them sharper so he can easily chew flesh. Red Mane was holding just a lazer pistol in his right hand, that appeared like a toy on the massive callous fist, which wasn’t pointed at the direction of the kidnapped victims thankfully.


“Marvel, welcome, I have been waiting for you. “ the voice boomed from the bushy bearded surrounded lips. “Quite an impressive feat actually, taking out more than twenty men just to get here. In a way I was hoping you will survive so I get to kill you myself. “


“Give it up Red Mane, it’s over. “ Marvel said his gun pointed at the giant.
“No Marvel, it’s over for you. Drop your pea shooter, same with you black midget. “ Red Mane turned to his associate with the gun pointed at the kneeling senator. “Or he gets blown away. I have kept the sh.it faced senator alive till now just to get you here. Now that you are here, he is of no use to me. If you keep that gun with you another second more, he looses his head. “


“Don’t worry Marvel, I got a clear shot at the thug with the rifle. “ crackled Jade’s voice in the micro comm unit in his ear. “I don’t have a clear shot at the big guy though. I can only see him through the wall by the X-ray and heat sensor. “
Taking a look behind the one holding the rifle, he saw there us a plastiglass behind him but Red Mane was standing before the duracrete wall. With a slight knowing nod at the Mole, he dropped his rifle and his friend followed his example.


“Don’t tell me Red Mane that you will stay behind hostages to get at me, sounds cowardly don’t you think so? “ Marvel tried a taunt just to see if that will buy him sometime.
“I don’t need any help to deal with you. These are not hostages, they are corpses just a bit late to die. “ As the giant said this, the wife and daughters of the senator whimpered choking on their fears. “Shut the hell up bitches. “ The voice boomed again causing an instant silence.

“There’s a lot I owe you for Marvel, I’m going to make you pay. “ Red Mane turned back to face him. “You cheated me in our last fight, sent my ass to the slammer, I was given a death sentence. “
“You were said to be dead, Mane, you should be dead. “
“Yes Marvel, for all practical purpose, I was dead. But I came back from the Afterlife just to get my revenge. “ Red Mane blow up with a prolonged boisterous guffaw. “Get that, came back from the Afterlife. “


Marvel looked on stoically as if he has no understanding what the joke was all about. The Mole looked at him, his frozen face hiding the boiling rage behind his mind. Marvel turned his head slightly in the negative.
“Why don’t you let the senator and his family go? You already have me so you no longer need them. “


“I’m going to kill them just to embarrass you and show that you failed before I kill you. “ Turning again to the one with the rifle, he spoke. “Kill them, but do it slowly, I want to give this bounty hunter a good show before I make him kick the bucket. “
Marvel made his move just then as he had been tensed all this while waiting for just such an opportunity as this. When Red Mane told his associate to kill the hostages slowly, the man had dropped his rifle but still on a sling hanged on his shoulder, he pulled out a long knife from his belt while Red Mane turned to cover them with his pistol.


“Now. “ Marvel yelled as his dove at Red Mane, knocking the hand holding the gun away and slamming into the heavily muscled chest with his shoulders. Red Mane staggered backwards a bit and fell on one knee as Marvel tackled him again, he fell on his back. The second man about to slice the senator’s neck with the knife had his head explode as a .100 cal bullet from the DRG 150SR rifle cradled by Jade’s hands hit him. The man’s headless body jerked spasmodically as it fell down. The hostages all screamed as thick blood and bones pieces were scattered on them.


The Mole already dove for his plasma rifle on the floor had it on his hands as Marvel made his move but didn’t shoot because Marvel was tangled with the giant. Just then Red Mane kicked out and Marvel was knocked back away from him. Marvel was back on his feet, crouched and ready to pounce as Red Mane got himself up.
“Allow me Marvel, let me have a shot at the giant , I can take em. “ The Mole said as he stood behind Marvel, his plasma rifle raised.
“No. Get the senator and his family away from here and to safety. “ Marvel spoke grimly. “Red Mane is mine. “
