Alicia Strade smirked as the wide horde made their center push. 20 girls abreast, 8 ranks deep the block couldn't be beaten. The boys had upped their game recently, this battle being expected to take a day or two. She'd taken several detachments of five or ten people and had begun to flank the large horde from the buildings above. Radio coverage found some of the girls ambushed by sneaking boys, but for the most part, they acted as cover for any mounted effort. This was the largest operation she'd fielded and she was sure they would taste victory today.
Calon Weaver looked at his map, texting and radios from his assistance had produced the battlefield of the day. He had explicit orders from the boys council to stick out of combat. They couldn't lose his tactical genius. They were full of crap, he thought. But why else would he be in this position. Awaiting the reports holding a suitcase full of certificates they paid their mercernaries with, allowing them to drop by supply depots and pull random mechanic parts and food, the general looked to his quadrant ensign, "How's the tank of Isaac's doing?..."
-The rounds silenced nearly every escaping girl, the others who had were either taken out by the group of boys or had run so fast there was no telling where they'd ended up. From his radio chatter box, he heard a priority order on the girl's frequency to switch their Jackrabbit unit to his coordinates. Nothing in his notes would reveal any sort of information on what that might be, but it was coming his way. In the meantime though, there were cheering boys, some even hopping onto the armored hide like they saw in video games.
-(Ah. Minor Military Info Dump: The battery refers to the boys artillery unit, a concentrated group of cannons that's been raining all types of hell on the girls. It would be a shame if the cannons were blocked or broken with explosives or otherwise. As for control, I always encourage players to take some creative liberties with what they do. That way I don't have to describe each of their footsteps, y'know? You could have snuck all the way to the battery by now if you'd wanted, I could work around that. What I wouldn't accept would be some short sentence like "Julie succeeded and broke everything and went home". Anyway, we'll figure out a good middle ground eventually)
Concealing herself was easy. No boy was looking for a single girl on the move, they had their sights set for the huge battalions that regularly assaulted them. Up ahead, it looked like the boys had deployed a splinter group, three or four boys skulking in the shadows like her but with far less skill. She could track them the day after a blizzard if she really wanted to. (So at this point it wouldn't be unheard of for you to take down one of those boys. They're nameless enough, lol, you could declare that you took one out. From there though, we'd initiate combat. You could also simply avoid them, knowing your skill is high enough and get to the battery.)
-The medic team Sean was a part of hauled into their transport truck, a large, custom-designed rig with an increased bed size. It wasn't as maneuverable, but it could transport up to twenty unconcious boys from the field...and something at the heart of Sean made him feel like he was going to be having a hard day of transporting. He was ordered to the front and center of the line where he and his medic would use the small amount of deterrents they had on the first victims, kicking them back into the fray even as their bodies began to change. Once they were out, they could only load up their truck and go...back and forth and back and forth until they came for him. "How many you think we get today?" the driver sort of half-joked in the depressing pall of what was to be expected.
-The gathering of boys Micheal found were a somber bunch, knowing all the work they'd put into their living space was about to be dismantled and moved like nomadic survivors. They nodded, holding up their thumbs and pinkys together, their symbol to represent the desired unity between both forces. "Micheal." one of the fifteen year olds started, Gus "Where are we going to go? What will we take?" he asked, knowing that they couldn't take the beds they'd...appropriated...from the surrounding buildings. "What will we do about the girls?" an older boy, 17 in a few months, Andy asked. It was obvious his prejudice against the girls was still innate by his sneer. He'd come a long way since defecting, but old habits die hard...
-Walter could barely remember what had happened. The girls had come out of nowhere, striking so swift with such cunning it was not to be believed at first. Instantly, the truck in front of his was tipped over as a pink mist shrouded the land. It was only by luck he'd gotten his gas mask on in time before the mist seeped into his jeep. The driver's doors opened and he was tugged out, from the window a girl commando quickly plugged the boy with a Femme X tranq dart before his own door opened and the swift butt of a rifle clocked him across his jaw...in his daze before he passed out, he could hardly tell he was being carried save for the fact he was staring at the ground. No small feat for a girl to lift him...
The light was bright and he instantly knew his wrists were strapped behind his chair, his ankles to the legs. He had very little time to notice the feminine hand slapping him so hard he could see two days into the future. "All right." the girl started, sitting in a chair in front of him, "Walter Krupke. Epsilon." she stated. She was pretty, her hair was perfected and makeup was just right despite the obviously dire situation. Her bosom, fully-developed into a C cup attached to her amazon body hinted at a beauty that her mood did not confirm as another slap answered his moment of silence, "Epsilon."
It's not about how much dough you make -- it's about how delicious a pizza you eat at the end.
