VIDEO: How the Asura felt storming that bunker.
- - - - -
Sabri punched a code in to the door, trusting that Atiq and Naseeb were watching his six. The door swished open, and without a sound the three of them stormed the catwalk. Sabri and Atiq rushed the door on the far side of the circular catwalk, sparing a quick glance to the ground floor to make sure they weren't being flanked. Naseeb crouched behind the catwalk opposite the far door, his viral rifle leveled against anything on the other side.
Sabri glanced at him over his shoulder, and Naseeb gave a nod. He looked to Atiq, who gave a nod. Sabri punched a code in to the door, and it swished open. What happened next was fast and deadly.
The thing was in the shape of a woman, but its skin was anti-ballistic plate armour, its eyes hyper-movement optic sensors, its hair a sophisticated web of environmental sensory equipment. The sword it carried was, more or less, just a sword, only one with several thousand years of metallurgical advancement behind it; and, of course, it was lightly dipped in Teseum.
All three Mukhtar opened fire. Several rounds of viral ammunition struck the thing in its chest, boring holes in to the armour. A boarding shotgun went off, taking a chunk of its torso away. A web of nanophagi filled the air, and the thing only laughed.
Sabri went down first, slashed quickly and cleanly from the stomach to his neck. Atiq's knife was out as the thing shoulder-checked him in to the railing. He stabbed the knife down in to its neck and it bounced off, the tip snapping and the impact sending a massive shock up his arm. The thing recoiled about 60 centimeters, using its backward movement to allow it space to swing its sword downward. Atiq ducked to the left, the vicious chopping blade shearing the railing behind him in half. He struck out over its swinging arm and slashed across its eyes, but his knifeblade snapped at the hilt – sheared off by the impact and the fact that the damned thing had closed its eyes in time to save its sight. Atiq had just enough time to start to swear when the thing ducked under his outstretched arm and brought the sword across his belly.
Naseeb strated firing now that his teammates were out of his line of sight. The instant Atiq hit the floor the Asura stood up firing, and the dark bunker was lit up by gunfire. Naseeb knew the moment he pulled the trigger that he missed, and he felt the rounds of the multirifle lift him up and blast him back out the door.
The Asura received an update. Despite its victory, the other team of Khawarij had accomplished their objectives. She gave the order to retreat.
Woot! Cool game, and yeah, I too learned to fear the Asura
Mmm…triple muhktar…well done!

The cats always score me better points. Good kitties.

Nice work keeping an eye on the objective, it’s really easy to get me to focus on removing a model I’m worried about.
+3 for cats… and we’re off the charts. Superb work and important win.
Extra points for the video, CTHD is one of my favourites.
Interesting fight, the Asura kicks arse on one side while the Khawaraj win the game on the other. Still, a wins a win! Fun read.
Uff, bad idea to try to eat an Asura in CC. But well done with the rest of the team!
Well, as one man once said, “Caliber 10 bullet with adequate velocity behind it beats kung-fu every time” 😉
Nice Report, well done
