“Nem, Cath, Will with me, everyone else give us cover while we advance!” Morrigan calls out, leaping out of cover and charging for the back gate. You follow after her, Cath and Nem by your side. The distance to the gate isn’t all that far but it’s far enough that you’re panting a little bit after the sprint with all your heavy gear.

You don’t see anything going on as you nearly slam up against the gate but you hear shouting and gunshots coming from the house. A bullet impacts the ground somewhere behind you but you can’t see where it came from. Instead you hear fire from behind you, the higher pitched sound of Mary’s SMG targeting somebody and then the loud bellow of Bellona’s new LMG as it roars, window’s all across the back shattering and dropping glass into the yard.

You don’t hear anymore gunshots, even as Morrigan tells you to…

>Cover Nem while she picks the lock on the gate.
>Help her get on top of the wall so everyone can climb over.
>Other.

“Cover Nem!” Morrigan Calls out to you and Cath, “Nem get the gate open, pronto!”
“Right!” Nem calls back, already digging in her leg pocket for her lockpicking kit, pulling it out as you and everyone else at the gate give her some covering fire. You don’t see anyone at first but suddenly the back door opens and several men nearly stumble out the door. You can’t tell if they’re half asleep or if they’re drunk but it doesn’t matter, you, Morrigan and Cath immediately light them up. With your new weapons and the excellent quality ammo that Koko has provided for you, even the vests that you see them wearing don’t hold up and they drop after being riddled with bullets.

You hear a thump behind you and you see Bellona, having run up against the wall. She gives you a nod, firmly in mission mode right now.

“Will, reload!” you hear Morrigan yell and you do automatically, dropping your magazine out and slotting in a new one, the partially expended one getting put back in you bandoleer. It’s somewhat amazing to you to have eight full magazine in reserve but Koko spared no expense on ammo for anyone.

Soon enough the Nem exclaims, “Yes!” the lock holding the gate shut popping open, Cath and Morrigan shoving it open as the entire squad heads towards the door.

“Alright,” Morrigan says as you all stack up, “I want...”

“I want us to do a sweep and clear. These are fanatics and I don’t trust any of them not to try and shoot us in the back. Everyone is tagged or bagged.”

Everyone nods, having been issued with zip ties and instructed on how to use them to tie up people in case you can find any prisoners.

“Alright, stack up on the sides, going on three,” Morrigan says, everyone getting lined up properly.

“One, two, three!” Morrigan counts, then ducks around the edge of the door and into the back area of the mansion, Nem and Mary follow, then you with Bellona, Cath and Sarah following behind.

Inside you find a large open area, with rooms on both sides. Morrigan points to one side and you head that way, squad pointed in multiple directions with Bellona taking up the rear like normal. With the sounds of gunshots coming from the other side of the house you can only assume that Koko’s squad is going for their objective, the lower levels that you aren’t sure where they go.

The first action you get is from the front, where a man pops up from behind a couch, weapon rising to take a shot. Morrigan is faster though, much faster and he drops as she shoots him in the face, blood splattering across the wall.

You hear chatter from behind as well, someone attempting to sneak up behind your group taken out by Bellona. Slowly you clear out the remaining corner area, then work your way around. With Morrigan in the lead she waves you and Nem through, your weapons searching as you enter a larger room with couches and chairs scattered about, your objective of the staircase across the way.

When you and Nem clear the door more men pop up, causing you to dive behind some furniture. They aren’t very good shots and they miss, with both you and Nem popping up out of cover to take one out. As two others try to take aim there’s a loud burst of gunfire from behind, Cath taking out both with a long spray.

The rest of the squad immediately begins to sweep the area, with the loud sound of “Clear!” being yelled several times before you all gather at the bottom of the stairs.

“Ammo check,” calls out Morrigan, changing out her own magazine, “Anybody hurt?”

“Good!” comes the call from the squad, nobody having been hurt so far.

“Alright, we’re heading upstairs I want...”

“Nem and Mary, you’re up front. I don’t know what’s up there and you two are the best we have in close quarters.”

“Roger Boss!” says Nem, Mary just nodding as she readies her SMG. When everybody else signals that they’re ready Nem leads the way up the stairs, Mary following after her with you and Morrigan coming close behind. As you make your way up the curving stairs, nothing happens until you reach the landing at the top.

There’s no notice as someone fires a shotgun, blasting Nem off of her feet and sending her crashing into a wall. Someone attempts to do the same to Mary but they miss as she ducks out of the way, her SMG coming up to tear through the man at close range.

“Will! Check on Nem!” Morrigan calls out as she rushes up the stairs, the man coming out of the shadows only to have Morrigan take him out with a burst. You go up the stairs after her, finding Nem twitching against the wall.

“Fuck...” you hear her moan, her hand reaching for her shotgun that she dropped when she got shot. You pull her upright, causing her to grunt in pain.

“Jesus Christ Will learn some bedside manner,” she says, though you can tell that there isn’t any heat in the words. Thankfully it looks like her armor took the shotgun blast full on and you don’t see any bleeding, the newer quality armor having held up. You reach your hand up and press against her chest, causing her to let out a groan.

“FUCK!” she cries, causing you to wince a little bit.

“Will what’s wrong with her?” Morrigan asks even as the squad fans out to secure the landing, no prisoners having been taken yet.

Reaching your hand up under her vest you feel along Nem’s ribs until she cries out in pain again.
“She’s got a broken rib,” you say as you reach into one of your medkits, “Maybe more.”

“I can move!” Nem says, attempting to move until you put your hand on her shoulder.

“Still,” you say, pulling out a syringe and jabbing it into her leg.

“Can she fight?” Morrigan asks you.

“If she moves slow maybe,” you say Nem letting out a sigh as the painkillers go to work.

“Alright, Nem you’re in the middle,” Morrigan says, “No heroics.”

“Fine,” she says, managing to stand and grab her shotgun.

“Sweep and clear again,” Morrigan says, “I want...”

“I want you to try and take some prisoners up here but don’t do anything stupid,” she says, “We don’t have enough people for heroics and I don’t want anyone else to get hurt.”

Morrigan looks back to Nem and Sarah.

“I want the two of you to stay here, Nem you’ve got the upper stairs Sarah you’ve got the downstairs.”

“Roger,” the two of them say, Nem settling in on the stairs with her SMG and Sarah taking aim downstairs with her rifle.

“Mary, you’re with Will and Bell, Cath with me.”

Everyone nods, with Morrigan and Cath heading off to the left side and the three of you on the right. Mary leads the way, clearing rooms and corners with you and Bellona following behind. Soon enough you find a room that has its door shut. Mary gestures to the two of you to stack up on the other side and you do so, with her on the other side.

A quick nod and you open the door, the sound of gunfire whinging past… stopping after only six shots. Mary ducks inside and you hear the sound of fighting before you can even step inside. You’re right behind her though and you see Mary pinning a scared looking young man to the ground.

“Will,” she says to you, “Secure his hands.”

You do as she asks, tying the mans hands behind his back. As you do so Cath does the same to his feet, the young man trussed up and secured.

“Please don’t kill me!” he says, “I’ll tell you anything you want just please...” his words are cut off as Mary stuffs some cloth in his mouth.

“We’ll leave him here,” says Mary, finishing securing him as the rest of you nod.

You finish your sweep of the level when you meet up with Morrigan and Cath, then sweep back towards the front.

“Get any prisoners?” Morrigan asks.

“Just one,” Mary replies, “He’s hog tied in one of the rooms.”

Morrigan nods, all five of you reaching the landing once more.

“Any activity?” Morrigan asks.

“I think we both shot somebody,” says Nem, “My ribs hurt a bit but good otherwise.”

“One target down,” says Sarah, “Otherwise good.”

“Alright, one floor to go,” says Morrigan, “I want…”

“Nem and Sarah, you guys stay here, Mary and I will clear the front. Will, Cath, Bell you’re after us.”

You nod, everyone locking and loading for the final climb up the stairs. You make your way behind Morrigan and Mary, the two of them ready for the top. When you do finally make it, there’s gunfire and as you come up you see two men dropping from Mary and Morrigan taking them both out.

Ahead of you you see nothing, turning to check one of the corners only to have someone dart out pointing a gun at you. You attempt to turn around and get your gun up but they’re too fast and you feel the impact of several bullets against your chest as the gun barks at close range.

Mary and Morrigan attempt to shoot at the intruder, missing as she ducks behind you and attempts to grab you. Shot as you were you’re still aware enough to duck through her hands and instead of wasting any time the woman darts down a side passage again.

Morrigan takes aim at the woman but then curses and lowers her weapon as she gets out of sight.

“Will are you alright?” Mary asks, her weapon still pointed at one of the places where the woman could come out.

You grit your teeth and fight the pain, feeling around at your chest.

“M’okay,” you say, “Armor took it.”

“You’re going to have some more bruises in the morning,” Morrigan says, her weapon still pointed down the way the woman disappeared, Cath and Bellona having come up behind and now covering all three directions.

“What do we do now?” Mary asks Morrigan.

“We...”

“We’ve gotta take it slow,” says Morrigan, “Clear room by room just like we were doing before.”

She looks over to you again.

“Will are you good to move?” she asks.

“Yeah,” you say, giving her a nod.

“Alright, lets get moving everybody,” she says.

You head down the left side of the hall, everyone on guard as you move through rooms. Thankfully there are fewer of them up here, it seems that these are nicer than what were down just one floor. You make it through two rooms without finding anything, things getting tenser and tenser as you move deeper.

As Morrigan rounds a corner you see a flash, Morrigan managing to duck out of the way just in time. She attempts to bring up her gun but the girl ducks back, Cath letting out a burst through the wall in close quarters. She misses but the girl is forced back, giving everybody room.

It’s then that you see a dark flash run by, Mary taking the lead. There’s a sudden sound of knives sliding off of each other, a clatter and some thumps. You round the corner and you can’t even tell what’s going on, at least until there’s a cry by the other woman and she falls to the ground, Mary going after her until the last of the knives are discarded and she’s bleeding on the floor.

Morrigan approaches with her rifle at the ready, the woman breathing heavily, her neck fluttering.

“Am I going to have to shoot you or should I let Will here do the honors?” she asks the woman.

“...No,” says the woman, raising her hands up just a bit.
“Alright, Will make sure she doesn’t bleed out, Mary keep her hands down.”

Everyone nods, you digging into your bag so you can patch up the bleeding woman.

Three prisoners, nobody is dead and you’re not quite finished with the upper floor.

Things are going pretty well, at least for you.
