Xael nodded. "Yea, that's probably a good idea," she said, looking around again, this time looking for an exist to the cave they were currently in. Zephyr grinned and continued firing.
"Disgusting," Euclid remarks, averting his eyes even further. "Absolutely disgusting. How we let these people here and why we continue to do so is beyond me. They should be rounded up for experimentation, if you ask me. Better than letting them go to waste like...this."
[Critical Fail: 2] The guards notice you and open fire, one spraying a few shots into your right leg and another hitting you in the forearm, rendering your left hand useless.
Hookbeak cries out in pain and falls backwards, trying to scramble away to safety. He hold the sword tightly with his right arm.
[OVERCRIT: 20] You hear a loud *BANG* as the man from earlier fires off your gun, the shot killing both of the soldiers. He drags you into the boot and starts binding you up with some nano wraps in the med kit in the station, then injects a red stim into your leg. 'Your gonna be ok man, we made it, we broke through. It's thanks to you. Now just rest, we got it from here.'
[Success: 17] You manage to take down two other jets before the flak cannon has to go through a reload phase. One of the jets gets close enough to drop some bombs. One hit the tower, making it shudder but no major damage. Another hits the barracks, thankfully no one was in it. It explodes, caving in. The others land outside of the fort.
Hookbeak smiles and nods to him. "Aye, thanks for your help too. Ye' want yer blade back?" he asks, raising the sword to him.
