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.

Team photo! The models on the right were Mukthar proxies.
My deployment was along the bottom.
Another view.
The Zhayedan LT moves up and knocks out the sniper. First time using one and I liked its performance.
The Mukhtar move up.
The way clear, the viral rifle Mukhtar slays his most hated for: a beeping antenna.
An early lead.
A lot of gunfire was exchanged but the Khawarij fireteam won the shootout.
GO MUKHTAR GO
HELL YEAH THIS IS GONNA RULE
HELL YEAH EAT NANOPULSER
hey wait you're supposed to be dead
uh oh
UH OH
Well that went poorly.
The Zhayedan LT, who I decided was my Naffatun LT with a promotion, punches the HVT in the stomach, throws him over her shoulder, and bolts.
My final objectives. A clear lead and Shamash couldn't make up the difference.
Cat tax!
