Augmented Humans
Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:47 pm
We got the call to arrest yet another mage who had reached his hands in deep in several criminal enterprises from arms dealing to human to smuggling to pharmacological augmentation of humans. It's been an ongoing investigation actually. We killed one such human a while back. After more than a year of intense investigations, we moved in to decapitate the organisation.
I was riding shotgun, literally. I pressed the muzzle against the lock and pulled the trigger. Wood splinters and lock parts flew and I grabbed the handle of the door and pulled it back as my team poured in some flashbangs. I came in last and the shit had already hit the fan.
Lyosha was hit and Roma was already covering. I saw two bad guys down as I heard someone running down the hallway towards the back of the apartment. Lyosha was back on his feet, his armour had taken almost all of the damage. We regrouped and slowly made our way down the hall, which ended in an 'L' shape. As we approached we popped a couple more flashbangs.
These guys hardly seemed to notice. I shot one in the face with my shotgun spraying bits of skull, brain, lips, tongue, and eyeball across the back side of the room. I pretty sure he didn't notice that either. With spiderman fast speed one came bolting into my peripheral vision and I felt the familiar pain of a knife sliding in to my gut, twice. I took one hand off of my shotgun and buried my fingers deep in his eye sockets and slammed him to the ground, pounding his head with two silent thuds, a crack, and then soft wet smacks. I rolled to my side and saw the handle sticking out of me; the blade was in deep.
As I was rolling I saw Sasha's blade flash and the clank of swords clashing; and then I saw it flash again as it sliced sideways deep into Sasha's opponent's abdomen. I could smell his shit and bile and fuck knows what as it poured out of his midsection. Another flash and the poor asshole's head was severed and hit the ground the before the body did.
A few more gun shots rang out. I regained my feet and reloaded.
All of the bad guys dead and alive were augmented.
The apartment was cleared. Our mage wasn't home. It's only a matter of time, however, before we catch up to him.
In the meantime, if anyone has information about augmented humans or slave girls from Africa, please do let me know. Before Shang Li died he mentioned to Natasha something about augmentation and it seems that old Japanese fellow had some information, too. I just don't remember right now. I'll probably be digging in.
Just as soon as my stab wounds heal.
