Operation Boom Goes the Dynamite

"This is a sub optimal operation." The 99'ers camp was a loose group of ramshackle buildings, there did not seem to be any rhyme or reason for the operation, things were just casually cast aside in some places. Xanthiana did not know much about mining but Elly assured her the 99'ers were very bad at it. They did seem to have a lot of guards around their haul, or that's what Xanthiana assumed the cybernetic monsters with large weapons were. Xanthiana had parked the car from a distance and used a pair of binoculars that the Top-Notch people had loaned her to make her assessment, Elly assured her that the EGO device could see that far with out the binocs but Xanthiana sure as hell couldn't.

"What's our play here?" She couldn't see the augments she was to steal, but the maps Top-Notch had provided had lead to this place and she couldn't assume they had sent her into to an ambush. "I mean they hardly knew her, you normally get to know a person before you try and kill them," She mused to herself.

"I suggest a forward blitz assault, we have the surprise advantage, if we kill enough to disrupt their operation we'll have time while they try and mobilize against us, then we just grab the parts and get out of there."

"Sure its not like we have no idea of numbers in there and these are some kind of cybernetic super soldiers or anything. I'm sure with my acid bullets, body armor and personal force field we can totally blitz this group and not get killed."

"That's the spirit Xan!"

"Or we could do the not stupid thing and you can tell me how I can explode some of that loose gulanite they have laying around and we can do this attack right." Elly waited a moment and then popped up instructions on how to explode the processed gulanite, Xanthiana suspected the little ego device was mad that she rejected her plan. Exploding the gulanite seemed simple enough, use the fire nano ammo from the pistol to start a fire than the chain reaction would do the rest. Xanthiana hopped down from her observation point and made her towards the mine. Elly kept a radar up, but as far as Xanthiana could tell the 99'ers weren't exactly actively looking for people to attack their mine, which made sense to Xanthiana considering they were cybernetic miners who routinely kidnapped people to turn them into robotic slaves. Her luck held out and she managed to make it to the run off of the mine where she could see some gulanite refuse.

"Elly if I ignited this gulanite can it possibly tail end into the other gulanite inside?"

"Running calculations, its possible Xan, though it will also alert the miners to your presence."

"I'll take the chance Elly, keep the radar ready." Xanthiana stepped back and withdrew the pistol, it was a burst fire, so she knew she'd waste at least four bullets when she fired, but she hoped then nano tipped slugs would ignite it in the first burst so she'd still have the remaining clip to deal with any miners who came looking. She opened fire and the gulanite exploded, a wooshing sound shot up from the run off and went right into the camp where a sequence of larger explosions went off. Xanthiana was knocked down by the force of the explosion, and then covered in exploded debris, parts of which appeared to be the former miners.

"Operation successful I believe the explosion distracted them Xan."

"Thanks Elly I hadn't figured that out."
