On the far rooftop, the Fixer crouches behind a vent stack, rain flashing silver off his coat. Across the bridge, the corporate drone beam slides away, and for one brutal second the sky opens clear.
The Fixer
There. Got a clean line. Their relay mast, south tower. If that stays up, more drones keep coming.
A corporate signal tower blinks red beyond the market, half-hidden by antennas and dish frames. Its console cage sits exposed on the roofline, guarded only by distance and open air.
Behemoth
The tower is the nerve center.
The Fixer shoves a cracked data wafer into Behemoth’s hand, his fingers shaking, eyes locked on the tower. He points once, sharp and desperate.
The Fixer
Kill that relay, and the cordon stutters. Miss it, and they keep tightening the net around us.
Below the tower, new drone lights flare on the wet rooftops. The corporation is already repositioning, and this war just found its next target.

SUCCESS (Legendary Firearms, rolled +0)
Behemoth
Get out of here. Let me take the heat, you know I can take it.
Behemoth rips the launcher free, braces its weight against his armor, and sights down the wet rooftop toward the relay cage.
The first shot slams into the mast. Red lights burst across the frame, and the tower staggers under the impact.
The Fixer recoils from the blast, then scrambles backward from the vent stack, turning to run for the bridge.
Below, the new drone lights surge brighter and swing toward Behemoth's position, locking onto the smoke and sparks.
The relay's cage hangs twisted, alarms strobing across the roofline, while fresh machine rotors whine up from the dark.
Behemoth stays planted in the rain with the launcher up, and the sky answers with incoming fire.
“i keep firing at the relay making peace that at least the fixer gets out of this alive even if i don't”
SUCCESS (Legendary Firearms, rolled -2)
Behemoth keeps the launcher locked on the relay cage, and another burst hammers the sparking mast. The frame caves inward, showering the rooftop in red-hot fragments.
The cage lights flicker, then die in a hard blackout. For a second, the tower goes dark except for burning seams and the stutter of backup relays failing.
The Fixer makes it to the bridge rail and throws a look back over his shoulder, half panic, half relief, before he disappears into the rain.
Incoming drone fire chews the wet rooftop around Behemoth, cracking tile and kicking sparks off his armor. One round tears through the damaged boot seal, stinging his exposed foot.
Behemoth
The relay is down.
Fresh rotor whine cuts in from above, but the remaining drone lights wobble as the tower feed collapses. Their aim goes sloppy in the strobe and smoke.
A final alarm pulse washes over the roofline, then the tower drops into dark, sparking ruin as the incoming fire starts to miss wide.
