There ain't no rest for the wicked. (Borderlands, IC, RP)

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Sprocket pointed at the group of bandits ahead and then to the one behind. Both groups were growing as more bandits joined in the fray. Some fell to Alex and her shooting while others were immolated by 'Pinks' the SMG. "Rip and Tear into them crazy guy!" She said with a giggle. "Looks like you're gonna meet Quicksilver sooner than I thought!" She said with a grin. She raised her left arm while holding her SMG in her right. There was a flash and a strange digital noise followed by a beep. The large robot stood, swaying on its tentacle like legs while it's similar arms sat, slacked by its sides. It whipped its arm out, snagging a bandit by the skull and promptly crushing him. 'Quicksilver' stretched its long legs, coming down on top of the bandit group as it tore into them. Sprocket provided covering fire with her SMG.

[Ubaria]

Neo turned his head to the emerging bandit squads, they appeared from nowhere, some wielding crude weaponry above their heads in a foolish banzai charge towards the group. "Bandits. Foolish Bandits. Time for target practice" Neo chuckled and drew his sniper rifle off his back, a matte grey long barreled rifle, red streaks highlighted the guns ridges and indents, the scope was a 30x magnified optic with in-built target highlighting technology that synced with Neos in helmet display. He clasped one hand around the grip and another on a handguard on the underside of the barrel and bought it dead level.

Squinting ever so slightly he lined up his first bandit target and pulled the trigger. The shot reeled off and hit the bandit in the head, though this was not its final resting point, the ammo was designed to penetrate, then explode after a pre-defined time, so the bullet ventilated the head of the first bandit and exploded his friend behind him, its head exploding like a firecracker in a watermelon, chunks of brain and face rained down around the place, as soon as this happened Neo had already lined up another shot and fired. Another 2 bandits falling, their heads evaporating into a fine mist.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Under the heavy firepower of the group the bandits were dealt with in a timely fashion. Various dismembered body parts and vital organs littered the floor painting the silver corridor a gruesome red. Amongst the carnage lay ammunition (all kinds), an electrified Vladof rocket Launcher
a jakobs assault rifle, a maliwan pistol,
a Vladof assault rifle and a Jakobs sniper rifle.

Sprocket grinned and looted some cash from a bandit.
"Well? Go on! Loot the bastards!" She said with a giggle as Quicksilver deconstructed behind her.

[Morlodania]

Nataria holstered her SMG after reloading at, and looked to the bodies, and all the loot around. She reached for the rocket launcher, and grabbed several things of rocket ammo and SMG ammo. "This looks like it might be fun to use..." She looked to Laurel, and smiled. "Like my new toy? I think it fits me quite well... I should paint it purple and black..." She looked to the rest of what was there, and shrugged. "Not much else here that catches my eye... Besides some of the cash." She grabbed a couple wads of cash, leaving the rest for everyone else. "Ready when you are."

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Laurel giggled in her strangely upbeat manner. "Purple and black sounds nice." She said and focused for a moment. This wouldn't work, there were too many of them to travel together inside this arena. She knelt down and pulled a small plasma torch of her belt. She began talking while burning an image into the floor. "We're gonna have to split up to get out of here. Dibs the pretty siren, she has tattoos I can blind the baddies with." She said with a giggle as she placed the finishing touches to her scorch-map. "Copy this down somewhere." She said as her robotic eye's aperture shut for a moment as if it were blinking. "Come on Nataria we're taking the service passages, shouldn't be many there with our discovery." She said and pointed to a camera on the wall nearby.

[Morlodania]

Nataria nodded to Laurel. "Alright, then. Are you sure you only want the 'pretty siren' for her tattoos? After all, everyone says that, but no one ever means it." Nataria smiled again and put the Rocket Launcher away, going to Laurel's side. "Lead the way, Mechanomancer. I have no clue where the tunnels or anything like that are." She drew her SMG again, just in case.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Nataria nodded to Laurel. "Alright, then. Are you sure you only want the 'pretty siren' for her tattoos? After all, everyone says that, but no one ever means it." Nataria smiled again and put the Rocket Launcher away, going to Laurel's side. "Lead the way, Mechanomancer. I have no clue where the tunnels or anything like that are." She drew her SMG again, just in case.

Laurel shrugged, "Could be fun to have somebody else to talk to I guess. Quicksilver isn't that talkative." She said as they walked down a corridor. "And it's Mechromancer . . . As in death row . . . Just mechro." She said cheerfully as she darted ahead. "The tunnels are down here." She said and (literally) smashed a control panel which opened a hatch in the floor. "Down ya go."

[Morlodania]

"Mechano, mechro, whatever. I'm not good with words." Nataria shrugged and followed Laurel to the control panel, and smiled a little when she smashed it. "Destructive tenancies much?" She looked to the tunnels, and back to Laurel. "Me first, I guess." She went down the hatch, SMG still in hand, and when she got to wherever it went, waited for Laurel to catch up, scanning the tunnels.

She looked to the tunnels, and back to Laurel. "Me first, I guess." She went down the hatch, SMG still in hand, and when she got to wherever it went, waited for Laurel to catch up, scanning the tunnels.

Laurel chuckled and jumped down into the earthy service tunnels. "I just don't like people who put me in prison cells . . . And I like breaking stuff but I mean honestly can you blame me? With these arms it's hard to resist!" She said cheerfully and hopped into the lead again as the hatch slammed shut behind them. She smashed another control panel and pulled two wires out of the sparking wreckage, reconnecting them. Strips of light surged through the tunnels and illuminated their way. "So . . . I'm curious, do you know how your tattoos work? They're very pretty and all but what do they actually do?" She asked curiously as they advanced down the tunnel.

[Morlodania]

"With those arms, I can understand it. They look pretty damned cool." Nataria followed Laurel and watched, somewhat in wonder, when Laurel turned the lights on. "You really know your machines. Not that I'm surprised." Nataria quickly checked her SMG to make sure it was in working order, and fully loaded, and followed Laurel. "I never actually learned how they work... You'd have to ask my mother, if she were still alive. She knew how, all I know is how to apply them."

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Laurel nodded sadly, "I see. . . Sorry for your loss." She said when Nataria mentioned her mother's death. "I know my machines yes, but it's more than just that. Anyone can learn how to rewire a light switch. I . . . How do I explain it? . . . " She thought for a moment while they ran. "It's as if I'm part of the network. I see the currents, the circuits. I sense them too." She said and giggled, "Apparently that means I'm crazy but I'm not going on the word of a bandit jailer who forgot to take my weapons away." She said and laughed.

[Zepplien]

Alex walked up behind the two, looking them over silently as she collected some sniper and SMG ammo from the stock of bodies. She then looked back to the other two "You are welcome to the arms, they are inferior to my Hyperion ones, and I do not like the armaments of other companies." she then tapped her wrist device to active her stealth systems, walking ahead of the group slowly and deliberately.

[Morlodania]

"Yeah... My whole town... Settlement.... Whatever, was wiped out by bandits about six years back. Been hunting the fuckers ever since. Managed to make quite a pretty penny doing so, too. People pay well for the heads of big named bandits." Nataria kept moving, watching the entire tunnel for any sign of movement. "You might be crazy, but I happen to like crazy. Crazy is fun, crazy is enjoyable, spontaneous, and most of all, crazy is dangerous and deadly. I'm likely quite a bit crazy myself, if you asked anyone who knew me. Might be all the time I spend Phasewalking, might be my insatiable thirst for revenge. Whatever it is, it spices up life."

Might be all the time I spend Phasewalking, might be my insatiable thirst for revenge. Whatever it is, it spices up life."

Laurel shook her head, "I hate the bandit bastards. Did you know they hate cookies? The bastards ate cookies! I was so angry I destroyed an entire camp!" She said irritably and punched the wall, leaving a small dent. "They're still better than those old Hyperion cranks!" She said with a giggle.

[Zepplien]

Alex turned around, and deactivated her cloak, walking deliberately towards Laurel. She stood above her and grabbed her by the hair, shoving her SMG into her guts "What did you say about Hyperion?" her voice had an icy calm "Because I thought I heard you insulting them by saying Bandits were better. I must have misheard you..." she tightened the grip on her hair "So perhaps you would like to reiterate what you said."

[Morlodania]

The moment the Hyperion woman had her hands on Laurel, she had an SMG and a pistol to her head. "You best think your next move out very wisely, else you'll be losing a very important part of your anatomy VERY soon." Nataria wasn't going to put up with anyone threatening Laurel after she helped her escape. "Now, walk away. Slowly. Put down the gun, and drop. You do ANYTHING funny, and I fill your pretty little head full of lead."

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Alex turned around, and deactivated her cloak, walking deliberately towards Laurel. She stood above her and grabbed her by the hair, shoving her SMG into her guts "What did you say about Hyperion?" her voice had an icy calm "Because I thought I heard you insulting them by saying Bandits were better. I must have misheard you..." she tightened the grip on her hair "So perhaps you would like to reiterate what you said."

Laurel looked up at Alex with terror on her face. "N-n-no I didn't say that! Pl-please don't shoot me!" She said her voice quavering, sounding terrified. A grin spread across her face, "Psyche." She said and reached up to Alex's wrist with her robotic hand. She wrapped it around and crushed down on the tendons, forcing the hand open against Alex's will. "Please Hyperion girlie, you're embarrassing yourself." She said cheerfully as she released Alex's arm and turned around. "I'm fine Nat, destructive tendencies remember?" She said and shot Alex a grin. "You're welcome to shoot, maybe you'll hit something organic." She said with a grin, for some reason being mauled and crushed by a fire bullymong meant she wasn't afraid of much anymore. . . Or was it a skag? She struggled to recall.

[Zepplien]

Alex looked between the two others and growled ever so lowly under the his of her breath entering and exiting the suit she was in. She withdrew her SMG and put it back on her leg mounted holster, her fingers twitching over it before she she clasped them behind her back "Perhaps you wasteland scum aren't as useless as I thought, though it isn't hard to beat my standards for Bandits." she turned forward once more, and adjusted her armband before continuing forth like nothing happened at all. She glanced back for a split second before once more engaging her cloaking device, though she kept walking forth.

[Ubaria]

Neo brushed off the barrel of his Sniper rifle after the last bandit fell in a bloody heap. "Please, send a challenge" Neo remarked to himself and slung the rifle into its holster on his back. He turned to the group of others just as the Hyperion Assassin clutched the girl in her closed fist. Neo simply stood emotionless, observing of the pair and almost in an instant one of the other group reacted, drawing both weapons, then in a lightning quick maneuver, the girl engaged her robotic hand into a clamp around the wrist of the Assassin. Brutal, quick and effective, the grip was released. In a huff she turned on her heel and walked away. Neo simply crossed his arms and chuckled to himself.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Laurel smiled cheerfully in the direction of Alex's disappearance. She could vaguely sense the tech from the Hyperion Assassin but that was a damn good cloak, it muffled the signal substantially. "No hard feelings right? It's nothing personal I just don't like Hyperion . . . Something to do with them exiling me to this wasteland or something like that." She said with a giggle and turned to Neo. "Oh . . . Seems everyone missed the 'split up' idea. Group of four should be fine, great to have you with us robot man." She said and continued walking down the service tunnel. She took a right and then a left which led to a door. "Storage closet, I'll just need a moment to hack it." She said and with a grin smashed her hand through the glass touchplate of the interface. The door opened with a hiss and she smiled to the small group, "There, hacked."

[Morlodania]

Nataria shrugged as the Hyperion woman walked away and cloaked. She'll have to be kept in check, that one... Nataria thought, as she followed Laurel down the halls. When they got to the storage room, Nataria smirked slightly at Laurel's destructive tendencies. "You just love smashing things. We should get along just fine." Nataria leveled her SMG before herself and entered the room, just in case something was inside that might shoot back.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Laurel smiled and nodded, "Yep, we'll get along great." She said with a beaming smile as they entered the storage room. A pack of repurposed Hyperion loaders, modified by the bandits that ran the arena turned from their various jobs to the pack. "Intruder-" one began but was cut off as a fiery ball of plasma melted through it's eye.
"You loaders have irritating voices." Laurel said and opened fire on the loaders.

[Morlodania]

Nataria ducked under Laurel's shot at the loader. "Very annoying voices indeed... And nice shot." Nataria smiled and looked around quickly, taking cover behind a pillar in the room. After scanning the room, she found an avenue she could phasewalk through, and did so, ending up on the other side of the loaders. "Stupid loaders. HEY ROBOTS! I'M OVER HERE!" She smiled and opened fire, cutting into the group of loaders with glee, watching the carnage she created unfold.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Laurel smiled and pressed the trigger fully and laughing maniacally. "I FORGOT HOW TO AIM . . . AGAIN!" She said and giggled as plasma balls flew everywhere, clipping loaders and ricocheting off walls. "WHEEEEEEEEE!" She said and grabbed a nearby PWR loader by its fan blade which came to a stop with a grinding noise before she ripped it off and slammed it through its chest. "Owowowowowow" the loader said and fell.

[Ubaria]

Neo tagged along behind, instead drawing his revolver as a backup weapon, he watched intrigued as the Hyperion Assassin cloaked completely. Neo had a similar technology built into his suit, however the reverse engineering from numerous stolen Hyperion plans had not been fully integrated into the suit, instead his image was faded and jumped around quickly, so an enemy would potentially see multiple targets running in different directions, glitching out, masking the actual assassin himself, combined with the speed and agility it would create a pretty fooling effect on most enemies, even sensors would be scrambled.

Neo followed them into a room where instantaneously another battle erupted, this time Hyperion loaders which had been modified presumable by bandits. Like a flash Neo already had his revolver up and had let off the whole cylinder into a Hyperions eye, it fell with a faltering robotic voice which was garbled. In one smooth motion Neo took another speedloader, unclipped the cylinder, pushed it in and loaded the bullets and snapped the cylinder shut again all in a matter of a moment, then unloaded two more bullets on an encroaching Power Loader that had approached from the left, without even moving his head Neo pointed the gun to the right and downed another bot.

(OOC: I've also updated my character sheet to show the kind of helmet and armor Neo is wearing.)
