Phoenix's arival

[Rich]

A forest to the northwest of Pyke:

Five sligs with guns and other weapons run into a clearing.

Brak: (under heavy fire) Shit! I knew we should've stayed in the odd damned factory!
Guntek: keep your head down, those guys probably have snipers everywhere!
Kaz: Phoenix! have we got the grenades?
Phoenix: Yeah! give 'em some o' this!

Several enemies die but are replaced by more.

They head further down the slope.
Kaz: jeez! this is my first real fight, I'm getting pretty nervous!
Guntek: better watch you don't piss in your pants!
Zen: (2 years old!) My master always said that bullies are cowards at heart!
Brak: HaHa! maybe that's why I bust him up in one!
Guntek: alright I'm just kidding!
Phoenix: optimistic as always eh?
Guntek: If you don't shut up I'm leaving.

He walks out of cover. Shots are heard. He runs back in.
Guntek: on second thoughts!
Phoenix: lets get down this mountain!
All five: Agreed Bro!
Brak falls down a hole.
Brak: Ahh! Phoenix help!
Two enemy shotgunners jump in.
Guntek does the Matrix on them.

More later...
Hey! Maybe some raspberry picker Muds could come and find them in the wood?

who are the enemies?

i'd love to help, but i've already rescued silver's character, and anyway if i rescued you you'd have to accompany me to the GT, which is this great 'powers of the mind' competition that rettick and kugal are entering. on the other hand, Pyke is currently being attacked by two separate invasion forces, so maybe you're better off coming with us...

if you'd like rett to rescue you anyway, just say so here. otherewise wait a bit longer.
