CAPTURE BASE
A story based on the game "Laser Squad"
(C) 1997 Demon '& Flyer (ZX-LEGION)
Continued (see the beginning of the previous issue).
Group Dzhonlana in polutemkah moved along the corridor -
the explosion damaged the wiring. Dixon walked behind, and,
smiling mischievously, poputi threw grenades into every room.
At this time, Trooper Brady and Keil, who were playing cards,
sitting in one of rooms, they heard a faint noise in the
corridor.
- I'll check - said Brady. - And
map not podtusovyvat!
Trooper went over to the exit, as
Suddenly something flew into the room abruptly, and
Brady instinctively caught the subject. "Wow,
something familiar, "- thought of soldiers, and became
feverishly to remember special training course: "... a body
with longitudinal and transverse furrows ... in the upper part
of the body has threaded hole for screwing ... Fuse! "Brady
yelled as I could:
- Grand-A-A ...
His cry was drowned in the din ... This
fell off the chair Trooper Kale. Jumping up, he
tried vypihat paralyzed horror
Brady out of the room, he soon succeeded.
Locked the door and a sigh of relief, Keil
suddenly noticed the unfortunate object of their
feet ...
Plastic door shattered into small pieces, and blast hurled
Brady, splash him with warm blood.
"And yet he cheat!" - It was
last thought, visited razmozhzhennuyu
skull soldier.
Meanwhile, a detachment went Dzhonlana
your way. Front of the hall, heard
some sounds: Sergeant Grissom managed
unravel the secret password to log in
government database, and now
he was sitting in front of the monitor, blithely played
Sex-Tetris. Imperceptibly entered the room, O'Hara
aimed his rifle at the sergeant's head ... Bah! The screen
shattered into smithereens, and Grissom, cut a three-story
floor-mat, crawled over tables. Then they heard the tramp of
feet. From the adjacent room in the hall ran a few more
OMNIkorpovtsev. They also hid the table and began pouring lead
Dzhonlana with his subordinates. Laser squad'ovtsy ran in
different directions, and only a corporal, standing at full
height, barely raised the muzzle of Marsec'a and pulled the
trigger. After dropping off the full clip (mostly on the walls)
Dzhonlan realized that standing in front of the enemy is not
very profitable, especially because a few bullets have damaged
his body armor. Corporal threw himself under the nearest bed.
There is already lurking Dixon.
- A, Dixon! - Spoke to him a corporal, tried to drown the
sound of shots and drunk guys yelling from OMNI. - Stop the them
grenades!
Dixon guiltily looked down and Dzhonlan turned purple with
rage ...
- Corporal, whether it is time to take the attack? - His
voice O'Hare because of the neighboring database. Dzhonlan
reloaded Marsec and typing the air, screamed:
- Forward!
The soldiers rushed out of the shelters and
opened fire on OMNIkorpovtsam. "Barker,
As always, shoot at her ", - said
Dzhonlan. - "Well, at least this time he
gave only a pistol. "jumping to
android, a corporal went to him on the butt
head and continued to scribble in the enemy. A few minutes
later his little puzzled by the enemies that have absolutely
not heard the shots.
- Stop shooting! - Ordered
as he opened first one eye, and then
another.
Looking closely, they saw that the four OMNIkorpovtsev lie
on the floor without moving.
- Barker is ready ... - Heard Dzhonlan
a voice and turned around. Android unnatural arms outstretched,
lying face down.
- Curse - curse Cpl. - I
'm not much ... I do not like it at all
cut down. Honestly!
There was an oppressive silence. After some time,
somewhere came the sound of febrile rifles.
- Our beat! - Recollected Dzhonlan
and, getting up, rushed to the side
corridor.
of o on
Corporal Heavy led his team towards the dining room. It
was there, in his opinion, should have placed the main forces
opponent. Front crossed the aisle more one corridor. Heavy
peered around the corner ...
- Spotted! - Someone shouted stupid
voice.
- And you're gone ... - Growled the corporal and
opened a furious fire on the figurine OMNIkorpovtsa, is safe to
this very minute. A smell of fried. Lieutenant Brenner with a
plaintive wail flopped on the floor. Heavy grinned and blew
smoke over barrel of the laser. Suddenly I heard screams behind
Cpl. Turning, he saw that Anderson grappled hand to hand with
some type, and Smailes with Stone standing beside him and
foolish to look at them, discussing the merits of
and disadvantages of the fighters.
- This idiot ran out on us because of
corner - said Stone. - Anders, napodday
him!
Ebony swung and punched his opponent rocket launcher on
the ear. Those not having even cry, threw himself collapsed.
Heavy squad continued to gently move to the dining room.
Cpl again step forward. Suddenly, the silence pierced the ugly
squeak. Corporal everyone else froze. Door, located a little
further, beginning slow to open ... Holding what are ready
Laser, Heavy stiffened. Door painfully
long turned. In the end, the corridor slowly walked
OMNIkorpovets. Officer Nelson (and it was he) of the
Constitution bleary-eyed at Heavy. Laser Squad'ovtsy
not firing surprised looking at the Nelson.
Having stood as a couple of minutes, the officer squeezed
crooked smile, and fell flat on his back.
- Opium - said Anderson, a greedy
sucking air nostrils. The corporal led
all the more.
From the dining room could hear occasional gunshots,
followed by shouts of laughter and idiotic. Heavy nastozhilsya.
Whisper ordering all remain, he quietly approached
input. In the dining room, very careless with his back to the
entrance, several OMNIkorpovtsev shot on the empty bottles. Cpl
decided to give them a surprise, and tried to sneak closer. But
it has been issued zapodlistsky crunch crumbs scattered on the
floor. Turning around, the soldiers saw dull on one foot Laser
Squad'ovtsa and sharply directed their weapons at him. Heavy
jumped back, and grohnuvshis on the floor, with fantastic rate
crept back behind the angle. OMNIkorpovtsy opened fire.
- I have a plan - said the corporal his
subordinates, when it was raised. - On account
all three jumps and palim! Again ... two ...
three!
Anderson, Smailes, and Stone, wildly shouting,
jumped out from behind a corner. Heavy same, quietly
giggling, stayed in the shelter. At this time
others have faced with their enemies,
which also launched an attack. Struck up a melee battle. Havey,
seeing that without it it does not fit in, went out and
reluctantly began to give commands:
- Anderson, come to the right ... Stone,
You beat Smailes! Let him go!
Inspired by Corporal did not notice
side slumped OMNIkorpovets and attacked
at him. Under the weight of a soldier Heavy collapsed.
- Hurrah-ah! - Suddenly ripped noise
against someone's drunken roar. OMNIkorpovets,
belabour corporal, had gone off somewhere.
Recovering, Havey saw that the rear on
Dzhonlan enemy flew with his team. Formed an awful dump. Heavy
with Dzhonlanom failed to cooperate: Heavy
crawling on the floor and pulled the legs OMNIkorpovtsev and
Dzhonlan quickly jumped up and kick butt kicked defeated teeth.
Others Laser Squad'ovtsy randomly
ran around the dining room and tried to stuff
face as many as possible OMNIkorpovtsev, while often they
receive.
- And where is our cyborg-killer? - Heavy pointerisovalsya
have Dzhonlana, when it was a slight pause.
- Bastards. They killed Barker - turning away, said Cpl. -
Okay, guys, rounded!
The last words belonged to Anderson, Dixon, Smailes and
Stone, who kicked one OMNIkorpovtsa, although the is absolutely
not budge. Due to the large pot with flowers peeped cautiously
O'Hara. Seven Laser Squad'ovtsev, shaking and wiping the blood,
were gathered together. Y many of the eyes were large and
fingaly broken noses.
- All right, that's that, you now need to find a wine
warehouse and ... - Thoughts Dzhonlana roughly cut the sound
flushing, which came from the toilet nearby. All looked at each
other.
- Maybe it's Barker alive? - From the wacky
facial expression suggested O'Hara.
But all of a sudden out of the closet came OMNIkorpovets -
Trooper Derman. He buttoning his pants on the pants of degree 4
protection. Lifting his head, Derman recoiled:
lined up a semi-circle and sending him
gun barrel, in front of him stood a
platoon.
- Rest in peace, - Anderson revealed
several broken teeth, pressing the trigger
hook.
- Anderson, you have the same pa ... - Yelled
Havey, trying to warn him.
A powerful explosion shook the building. Strength to break
free and, as if rejoicing in her destroy everything in its
path, broke through the walls and ceiling, floor Dig ...
of o on
First came the corporal Havey. Seeing
that the mangled body armor drains
something red, he understood everything, and groaned:
- Niger ... Moron ... You blew
wine cellar!
- Really, - licking his lips,
agreed with him came a Dzhonlan.
Looking around, Corporal issued a surprise
cry and started licking her
machine gun. Moved were lying everywhere
in various poses Laser Squad'ovtsy.
"This is a vital force has
alcohol ", - concluded himself Havey.
In fact, they were in the wine
cellar. All the boxes have been around Dig
falling soldiers, broken bottles, and
precious liquid is spilled on the floor.
Heavy barely persuaded others not to engage in
cleaning the surroundings. Finally drunk (literally) party
headed for the exit. Heavy could not resist:
- Damn! Is that we've done? Polbazy must rebuild from
scratch. It's all because of you, nigger.
Everyone considered it my duty vlepit
cuff Anderson. That depressed
silent.
When all is immersed in the lunar rover,
Dzhonlan regretfully said:
- How do I do not want to say this, but
We seem to have forgotten our Terminator.
Stone had chuckled, but he broke off abruptly
Heavy:
- Razkomplektovyvaysya and ran for a march
Barker.
Stone immediately darkened. Shmyaknuvshis
on the ground (he helped quickly descend
Dzhonlana leg), Private wanted to express what he thinks about
the commander, as He fell on top Smailes sent
his assistance in this difficult matter. Ordinary went to carry
out orders. Tightening Barker on moonwalker proved to be
difficult. When he slipped out a couple of times the hands of
men (this had a hand, that is Dzhonlan leg), Barker decided
pritsept cable to the lunar rover, and thus drag
to headquarters. When this was done, fell in behind Anderson
and strained his aching muscle. The procession slowly traveled
to way back.
A few minutes later Dzhonlanu tired of listening to
Anderson's groaning, and he sending to the aid of the ordinary,
he began to count the losses:
- Two front teeth are broken - for it
The Order of the Moon. Headache from these whiners -
Vacation on Earth Svisloch ...
- Now we want you anything posthumously awarded if you do
not umolknesh - Heavy evil promised. Dzhonlan with surprise
looked at each other:
- What are you doing?
- Soon you'll know. - Heavy nodded in the direction from
behind a hill of Staff.
of o on
- Donkeys! Idiots! - Spluttering screamed the general. -
Boobies! Stupid!
- But we were very careful -
trembling voice, began to make excuses Havey,
rubbing face lace handkerchief, when
General paused to collect air. - A OMNIkorpovtsy ...
- What OMNIkorpovtsy? What OMNIkorpovtsy?! - Frantically
screamed the general. - Yes, these imbeciles do not use the
rocket launcher!
The whole platoon stood with bowed heads,
partly because of shame and partly in order
that the person did not get the ubiquitous drool
General. However, from time to time some of the cast evil
glances at Anderson. In corner, leaning against battered head
against the wall, was disconnected Barker. Yell, Gen. little
cold.
- Actually, - he said. - For the elimination of the enemy
you put a reward. But you do not get it!
The whole squad even more gloomy.
- By the way! The day after tomorrow fly free from
captivity "Metalliksa" his comrades - Scott Adams - went on
"please" soldier general. Dzhonlan winced.
- Oh, how beautiful it was without these
Two idiots - he muttered.
- From now on I'll enter the dry
law, - continued the general. - From all
alcohol, including alcohol, from the infirmary,
will be in my office, and then
it disappears by leaps.
In the face Dzhonlana ran spasm:
"Once again have to settle for the brake
fluid.
- Crewe ugom! Quick march! Yes, do not leave you here this
idiot! - General Barker pointed out.
- Finally! Tomorrow go out to
unscheduled work day! - Have followed Laser
Squad'ovtsam shouted the general.
- But tomorrow, Thursday - croaked
Heavy. General noisily slammed the door.
