The back room still reeks of smoke and hot metal. Behemoth takes the cred-stick from the fixer, and the old merc watches the exchange with a hard, measuring stare.
The Heavy Mercenary
Two blocks east, corp perimeter. Drones, spotters, maybe a jammer. They box the sector tight.
He thumbs a scrap of tactical cloth free from a torn vest, then points toward the alley where blood trails vanish under neon rain.
The Heavy Mercenary
If you’re hunting them, move now. Their cordon is fresh, before they finish sealing it.
Behemoth
The perimeter is close enough to touch their line of retreat.
Behemoth squares his armor toward the east exit, the alley glow painting him in red and blue. The fixer stays behind him, ready to cover the door if the corp doubles back.

“behemoth charge through the corporate perimeter and into the corp using bertha a massive multi barreled lmg to take out anyone dumb enough to stop him”
SUCCESS (Legendary Strength, rolled -3)
Behemoth hits the alley mouth in a dead sprint, Bertha rising into his grip. The first corp line turns, too late, as the barrel cluster spits a brutal stream of fire and light.
A guard drops back behind a cracked bollard, helmets snapping toward him. Another staggers clear, smart-scope aim ruined by the blast and the neon glare.
The Heavy Mercenary
That’s the breach, keep moving!
Behemoth’s charge shoves through the gap, boots splashing black rain and glass. The corp’s perimeter line breaks around him, but the roar of Bertha’s barrels lights every camera in the block.
The Fixer
Payment’s still good, Behemoth, if you walk out of this with their gear.
A drone whips overhead, its search beam catching his armor, while the merc behind him drags a wounded line of fire toward the flank. The street ahead opens into the corp cordon, loud with alarms and fresh movement.
Behemoth
The line is broken.
A slammed hatch on the far side starts to part, and silhouettes stack behind it, reacting to the sudden blast. Behemoth is in the cordon now, and the next shot comes from deeper inside.
