"Well it's nice of you to join us today Roeyka did you get lost?" The leader of the band of three was a Sensoth, fairly large lumbering one too, Xanthiana could see what looked like a not particularly well dressed wound on his right shoulder. He was also missing most of the hair on his face, it looked like it got scorched off. The other two with him were human, one male, one female, they looked like brother and sister but Xanthiana was always terrible telling humans apart.
"Your directions are shit." It was partly a joke, but the bunker was in a fairly remote area and Xanthiana did have to take some weird paths to get there, Elly was quite proud of her AI self for getting them there without conflict.
"Bitch bitch bitch, its like being back in the Votanis Collective." Xanthiana smiled, most former VC soldiers did not talk very kindly of their former service, that was something the humans definately had going for them, they were at least proud of defending their home. The Votan's felt a bit of shame at destroying earth, and anger at how humans had treated them, but never pride for what they had done. Well outside of Casti's but they were assholes of the highest order.
"What's the situation?" Roeyka wanted to focus on the task at hand, she could tell from the glaze eyed look of the humans they were in conversation with their own EGO units, she hadn't been around many Ark Hunters since land fall, but what she'd seen they all would stand their in a stupor when deep in EGO converstaion, it was almost comical.
"We have a signal, possibly Von Bach, possibly something other VIP, its coming from inside. Mutants are swarming the entire complex, though there appears to possibly be some hellbugs inside, my EGO picked up some of their stink earlier, could have been a former nest of the fuckers or slowly becoming a new one. Can't be too sure until we get inside." Xanthiana could see the entrance, it looked fairly well guarded, the mutants for whatever brain ailment they had that made them still think the war was on, were still well disciplined. The entrance had two guard towers with what appeared to be a sniper and spotter in each one. Sand bagged entrance fortifictions with heavy weapons back up, and at least one blue man stomping around for extra shit and giggles.
"So what's the plan?"
"Kill everyone, collect the vip, get out."
"Sounds great how do you expect to accomplish any of that?"
"I figured with the four of us being ultimate bad asses we could have it done in time for lunch."
"Are all Sensoths entirely insane, or are you just from the same family as every other one of your race I've ever worked with?"
"Nah we're all crazy."
"Well at least that makes me feel better."
"The Ryan's here can provide cover support, she's nasty with a sniper rifle, he's a decent spotter, I figure you and I charge up the middle, I've got a couple rounds in a grenade launcher I borrowed from an Erep soldier here. Figure we can blitz hit them so fast they won't have time to realize our numbers don't resemble our moxxy."
"And what makes you think I like to charge anything?"
"Your charming wit, and your EGO device." Xanthiana wondered what else Elly said to other EGO devices she wasn't aware of.
"Are we going to talk all day or are we going to shoot somebody." The male Ryan was overly eager, but Xanthiana appreciated the sentiment.
"Lets do this before I get a brain and figure out this is a really bad plan." Xanthiana already knew it was a bad plan, but levity always helped in the face of futility. The sensoth who went by Max according to Elly piping up very briefly checked his weapons and motioned Xanthiana forward, and into the breach they went.
