<Space> While out in the woods the Zephyr forces gather, checking equipment, dawning body armor as the commander speaks. "On my command we attack."

Cookies shows up in her relatively bulky artillery suit. She stalks her way up to the meager fortifications and grunts... First things first, she reports to her commanding officer. She does a flash of her RSX operative badge and a salute. "Sir. I am carrying high-powered or otherwise volatile weaponry, sir, and I'd like to make sure it stays pointed wherever the server /isn't/, sir- in the best interests of everyone involved. Helps to know what we're guarding, too. Where is the server being secured?"

Fenris stands waiting for the inevitable attack. "Stupid Zephyr," he mutters under his breath. He had been part of the group that scouted this place for Zephyr. He sincerely hopes that none of the villagers realize that. It was shameful that the corporation felt like they could take what they wanted. The (most of the time) tiger doesn't mind helping them acquire resources from mad ferals who can't use them, but this was a peaceful village of PEOPLE, not the wild animals they had told him were here. Fenris secures his long coat and preps his weapons. The server isn't so important to him, but he WILL protect the people he helped endanger. Even if they are mostly dogs.

Having arrived with her pair of 'pets', the loyal attack plant Billy, and the brainless walking shield Bob, Savi looks over the battle field outside of the forested area. Prepping her large bladed canon, she sighs softly. Looking toward her teamate for guidance, she turns to face the comming battle with a worried look burried beneath her combat gear. Petting the little billy at her side, Savi closes her eyes. For the first time in public, the little plant taps into her earthen affinity and begins to grow. Becoming the not-so-little plant. Knowing in her heart what she must do, she knows only Edels presence on the battle field stops her from it, forced to protect her group-mates first and formost. A long standing order than cannot be broken. Looking between the sides carefully, Savi waits as she finishes her transformation.

After some climbing exercises, Skade has finally reached her position, as high up as she could possibly get, looking out towards the forest. Her trusty long-range gauss rifle set up in a sniping position. She's quite covered in various technical devices to help her get an edge on the various mutants. Targeting HUD displays, nanite-reinforced light armour.. you name it! As well as her trusty automatic guns in case things get up close and personal. Bending her microphone towards her mouth she opens a com-channel to the RSX-operatives below "Sniper in place. Should I just.. open fire at anything that moves?" she asks over the radio.

Chance frowns as he climbs down from the transport, his left paw grabs hold of his baseball bat as he looks aound, at the area, still not quite used to this form. The rat, no wait tigre now, walks forwards towards the CO. He's geared up lightly showing he prefers to be a scout, and runner, rather then a straight out fighter. He salutes the C.O. in a manner showing his civilian nature, and turns when allowed, trying very hard to keep hs nervousness in check, he moves to what seems the best spot to have a fast moving, and hopefully fast reacting sort.

Edel is on site, arms folded after taking a moment to adjust her glasses. "Let's hope nothing gets violent, hmm?" Lending to her point, her weapons remain sheathed.

CaseyRune is standing outside the town, flexing their pyrokenisis in one hand, the other holding their .45 USP stareing out into the darkness where the Zephyr agents were hiding. Listening to their comrades set up behind them only tells them one thing, if this defense falls, it will be a bloodbath and that's not going to happen. It was an innocent farming village, it doesn't matter who Zephyr think they are, they have no right exicuting civilians. Casey lets them know as much, "Leave now Zephyr. If you do, you leave with your agents. Attack and I will kill you. This is your last warning." They're already prepared for the battle, anyone near Casey would feel the air around them quickly growing rather hot, as if a bonfire had been lit nearby. There will be no civilian casulties on their watch.

"Server is being secured in the town hall Miss, so as long as your artillery doesn't hit friendlies it should be fine." States a Collie as shi walks up to the group, the leader of the Prommies that came here. "Well, Villagers are in place. But I don't think they will be much help, they are poorly armed and I didn't get much time to teach them how to use their powers before we realized an attack was coming." The RSX operative, a black panther, responds to Skade, pressing the mike on his com-unit as he speaks "Anything that moves that isn't us is open game." Chance gets a nod in response to his saulte, the feline eyeing the tiger a bit before he turns to the others. "Thank you all for coming, lets just hope that Zephyr isn't foolish enough to attack."

CaseyRune's threat is met with utter silence as the rest of the Zephyr strike force finishes arming up, the commander giving a low growl as he looks over the Village. "When I give the signal we attack."

Cookies gives the others one last salute. What a patriot, eh? Eh? True American spirit! "I'll ensure the hall is... well, at least twice as secure as the rest of this dump. No offense, but the board-and-nail method only does one so much good," she murmurs to the promethean before making her way to the hall. She knocks at the door a few times with the butt of her shotgun. "Excuse me, in there? Zephyr will be coming to tear down the walls any minute. I'm here to provide additional support and reinforcement for the barricade, if that's alright," she speaks in soft tones. "I have some spare heavy-duty weapons out here. I don't have enough arms to fire all these myself anyways."

Fenris focuses his attention briefly on the nanites around him creating an illusory haze around his position. He won't be much use until the Zephyr operatives get in to close combats, best not to make himself a target. Besides, there might still be a way to avoid combat all together. Zephyr just has to see that this trip isn't worth their resources. There might be an idea there. Fenris hurries back to find Clair, the collie heading up the Promethean side of this mission.

Savi looks at the group around her and slides her mass back, allowing the Zephyr agents to take the lead. Marking Edel's position, Savi makes up her mind, with a soft whisper towards the leader of the Zephyr assualt, Savi gently intones "Send in the soldiers, at that point Savi will step in with shock and awe, trust Savi. This will work." Crouching low, the plant reaches behind her with two sets of two vines, each pair grasping around the base of a large tree. With the both trees gripped firmly, Savi tenses her entire body. Ready to put her plan into action and end this battle quickly and with as little civilian life lost as possible. With a look toward the town Zeph is about to assualt, Savi whispers to herself... "I'm so sorry..."

Skade takes a deep breath, her ears tilted forwards as she watches the forest through her scope, her finger resting on the trigger, ready to shoot anything that steps out from the protective treeline. Although she had to wonder what that cat girl was up to, opening the doors to the objective like that. Still, she had enough weapons to qualify as a small tank so the human didn't really give it that much thought, turning back her focus to the darkness enveloping the trees. Was that movement in there?

Chance was not scared, he was terrified. He had never been on a mission like this, sure he'd done scouting, few dangerous messenger runs, but this was a stand and defend, this was likely to be a full-on battle. Shaking his head the rat, tiger keeps quiet about his misgivings, no need to bring the morale down. If it came to a fight, well he'd fight, he just hoped no one he knew from Zephyr was out there. Chance finds his eyes drawn to the trees, briefly, just a fleeting thought, he shivers and looks back towards the others, unable to shake the feeling something bad was about to happen.

Edel glances at the one that would order the attack and nods. "I'm going to slip around. I'm not a front-liner, yeah?" That said, her clothes begin changing colour and pattern to help enhance her ability to hide in the darkness as she breaks way from the group and... Sort of just wanders off into the sidelines.

CaseyRune is slowly becoming more and more agitated, Zephyr was going to attack soon, and they were not going to get past them unless it was over their corpse. They bring up their pistol, bracing themselves for the first agent that came within their sights. No retreat, no surrender. That was how Casey was operating right now, and no matter what happened, they would make sure Zephyr didn't harm anyone. They let the fire in their hand start growing, if need be a 'firewall' to this server could very much be put in place.

As Cookies asks for entrance into the Townhall the doors open, but the three canines inside give her cautious glances as they allow her in. Keeping a close on on the Feline as they weren't being to trustworthy. Fenris would be easily able to find Clair trying to help the villagers fix the fortifications at the front of the village, a small sandbag wall that could be used for cover.

As Saviante and Edel get ready the Commanding officer gives the order to attack, the soldiers pressing forward through the trees. One targets CaseyRune opening fire with their rifle, managing to clip the Human with about two rounds before he is able to drop to cover. "Attack!"

"Clair!" Fenris calls out as he draws near the collie. "Can the server be moved? Or shut down?" he pants, "If they think it is destroyed, they will leave. No server, no profit, no fight." He jerks around at the sound of gunfire. "Quick! Can it work? If not, say so and I'll get back into the fray!"

Cookies turns her back to the prometheans the moment the doors shut, then looks at the doors. "Hmmm. Yeah, looks... pretty secure... How long do you think this measures out?" She looks over her shoulder for a brief moment before looking back and running one hand through the crease between the double doors. They seal together and to the frame, silently and subtly. She backs away from them and peers over to the three canines, grunting at the sounds of combat beginning outside. "Sounds like we have company..." She unholsters her shotgun and backs up away from the door, gun trained straight on it. "Keep your weapons to the door. I think we're about to have uninvited guests," she whispers cautiously to the others as she steps behind them. "I'll get out the heavy weapons." She shrugs her pack halfway down her arm as though to emphasize she was totally about to do it, honest. "Just keep them out for a second..."

Waiting just long enough for the shock troops to move forward, Savi applies the full force of her superhuman strength into one fluid motion. Rather than spring herself forward, She pulls up, pulling the treees up, or shearing them off. In one full fluid arc The enormous plant trails the giant clubs high, aiming very carefully, the plant charges her thrown and whips the logs into the air! .....In a directly downward slam, the logs never actually leaving her grasp. Saviante Scythe's them right towards the massed grouping of Zephyr soldiers. Having seen one sever go down in her life was enough. "This ends here!" she bellows, turning her fury on her own side.

Skade breathes out in a fluid motion as she fires at the first threat that steps out from the shelter. Her unshielded gauss rifle making a high, loud whining sound as it discharges with a whoomph, sending a slug of supercharged molten metal down range at an unfortunate soldier if she manages to hit her target.

Chance was severely worked up, you know that weird calm before a big storm, that's what this felt like, exactly like that. He couldn't take this stress, he needed at least some action so he could move. Hmm, that cat what was she doing...wasn't that the door to the objective? The gunfire rips through the night, he turns towards it, eyes wide. looking back the cat's back in room, no hesitating he runs towards the fray, suspicious or not the cat was not the priority here. With a horrifed yowel he watches the trees slam down into the village. Running towards the impact he spots the plant hulk, thingy start to run amok among Zephyr. He backs up a bit, he was not in for this, maybe he should just head back towards that suspicious feline who opened the door to the server. Yeah she seemed shady, and less painfully berserk, he makes a beeline for those doors.

Edel hangs back for a moment, watching Savi. She certainly wasn't expecting that. "Well, damn." She gives a quiet applause before leaning against a tree to watch the rest of the proceedings, still not drawing a weapon.

CaseyRune jerks to the side, shifting their fire hand to the back and their pistol hand to the front, just barely avoiding two rifle rounds coming at them which clip their shoulder. Luckily the wounds start healing as soon as their made, suit healing with them. Casey manages to hold onto the fireball they were holding. They need that for later, not going to drop it this time. A split second later they open fire with their pistol letting loose a return volley of 3 shots at the agent in front. Hopefully that was the leader.

All three of the Canines turn to look at Cookies, their ears folding as they turn back to the door. They didn't know what they were really doing, they were just villagers not soldiers. r% r% Outside it was utter chaos, the Zephyr soldiers charge utterly broken as two go down under Saviante's onslaught. "We have been Double-crossed, return fire!" Shouts the officer, before two rounds from Casey's gun sends him spinning. Another soldier screams as Skade's gauss rifle injures his legs and sends him crashing to the ground. Those still standing turn and open fire on Saviante, who manages to evade and move behind covoer.

Cookies takes a deep breath, lifts her gun a little higher, aims a little lower... and promptly launches a coned, focused energy blast into all three of the poor bastard rookies' backs, lighting the front of her suit on fire and doing far, far worse to the canines. She doesn't even take a moment to look at the result of her pulling the trigger. No time, no time to even think about it. She spins the fuck around and beats her chest like a savage, trying to pat out the flames. She only keeps the futile effort up for a couple seconds before she peels off the front of her armor, throwing it to the ground besides her and leaving her chest quite exposed. That function was more for comfort for those fat cow tits of hers than utility, but hey, it worked out in the end! This would be way hotter if it didn't also mean being quite vulnerable to gunfire. With that she begins the search of the hall, taking one of the two open doors first. She starts rooting and searching around... What she's looking for probably isn't there, but damned if she isn't wasting time searching for it! NO STONE UNTURNED!

Fenris whips around as the sounds of combat reach his ears. "Never mind," he shouts, wrapping his illusion around himself again, "too late for cleverness I guess." The tiger dashes for the front line, long-bladed spear in hand, ready to help however he can. Why did that last explosion sound so close?

Dropping the logs in order to to avoid being riddled with bullets in her favorite face, Savi considers her options. While considering, she spins around from her tree and unleashes a volly of strikes at the remaining Zephyr soldiers with lashing vines whipping out from below her flower petal-like dress. A rapid fire set of bashings, blunted, but with her full strength behind the strikes. In for a pence in for a pound she decides, already in action as the thought comes through. Tearing into the group with reckless abandon, Savi growls and hopes the sounds in the distance, the ones that sound like explosions and screaming, are the good kinds of explosions and screaming.

"What the.." the redhead exclaims as she hears the explosion from the town hall. She was just starting the rather ardeous reloading of her complicated rifle but it seems it'd have to wait. Besides, seemed like the front was somewhat secure as it was. Skade decides to simply ditch her rifle, leaving it on the rooftop and making her way down to the ground as quickly as she can and drawing her two automatic guns. "Report! What's going on!?" she shouts into her microphone.

Edel glances towards the village at the sounds and starts in that direction before she stops and reconsiders. She doesn't want to be taken for an enemy, so instead she kneels down and draws her pistol, preparing to aid Savi from her position. Should that even be required.

CaseyRune lets loose, hurling the fireball at the broken charge letting it arc into the field, then when it gets to where they want it to be they snap their fingers, detonating the it. The moment the fireball explodes, Casey readies up for another attack, going on the cold left behind to freeze moisture, creating throwing daggers of pure hardened ice. They whip around hearing the explosion from behind them, wasting no time in making a mad dash towards its source. The wounds have already sealed, like they had never been hit at all. Which is good. Noone needs to see the odd colors Casey now has for blood.

All three Canines go down with the blast, falling limp to the floor as a massive hole is blown through the door. "I don't know, Someones inside the Town hall!" Shouts the RSX officer into his mike as he heads towards the source of the explosion.

Saviante's onslaught takes the Zeyphr troopers still standing by surprise, there was no point to their charge anymore. "Fuck this, if they want to keep that server so badly they can have it! Retreat!" They weren't going to be able to do anymore, grabbing their wounded as they try and break away from the conflict.

Cookies tunes everything out. There's only her and the goal in the eye of her mind. She hauls ass to the next door over, jiggles the handle. Locked. Good, maybe. She lifts her shotgun and rams the butt into the deadbolt lock, smashing it into the room and shouldering that door open with an urgency that burns in her mind. She shuts the door behind her and seals it with nanomagic, picking up the smashed lock and handle- one knob falls right off and, followed by a series of cursing, she hastily slaps the rest on in a way that leaves only small cracks to see through. No time. She tosses and turns things, makes an absolute racket that would lead any seekers right to her position, then she opens a drawer in the desk, and... Was that... It? "No way," she says with an almost snarky tone to her voice.

Moving forward over the zephyr agents with no real malice, Savi moves her mass across the battle field toward the Server. Closing in on the ring of guards the plant looks down. "If you are going to stop her, Savi suggests you go as a group. Cookies will not show you mercy." Nodding her head towards the town hall Savi continues, raising her viciously bladed cannon (currently rather pistol sized) "And Savi suggests you hurry. You will be covered from out here." With that she flips thetoggle on the cannon, lights that run up the side join a loud and teeth shaking humm that signals the weapon is live.

Skade gets to her feet with a groan. Damn that ankle is going to be sore in the morning! What was supposed to be a graceful dismount into a dead run had turned into an ugly fall thankfully cushioned by a hay bale. Still, no one saw her. Right? RIGHT? Alright. Drawing her guns and pushing the pain into the back of her mind she advances along with Casey, albit at a slightly slower pace.

Edel tilts her head as she watches Savi approach the village. Ears picking up the name, she scowls a little and hops up to rush over. "What? She's here, too? If that little trollop destroys this server, too, I'm going to have her head!" She shakes her head vigorously and glances around for a moment before chasing after the others.

CaseyRune runs at full speed toward the church doors, leaping right though the hole with little effort. The first thing they see is the downed guards... Damn thats 3 down, and 3 too many. Their next move is to keep moving into the church, looking for anything out of place. and a bashed in door is very much so. They move to the door taking cover on the frame, ready to breach and clear the room. Whoever is in there is going to get a nasty shock. They look at the door. Sealed, but that will soon change.

As Casey takes the the door with his shoulder it creaks, the seal Cookies made starting to give way. Once Skade gives a hand the door comes crashing down, revealing Cookies and her prize.

Outside the Village the Zeyphr soldiers are gone, all but vanished as they pulled out and left the Village to themselves. That is...until the Officer Casey had shot walks out of the treeline, his arm still dripping blood as he pulls the pin on the rpg's warhead. "Should of taken our deal when you had the chance!" He shouts, as he takes aim and lets the rpg fly...right towards the Townhall.

Cookies has one hand on a grenade on her belt, ready to flip it into action when she sees, almost immediately followed by Casey crashing through, a rocket growing closer and closer in the background. "Oh, shit," she valiantly declares, then scoops up the server into her arms, almost juggling it a bit and shielding it with her armored arm before slinging up her shotgun towards the one GOD-DAMNED BOARDED UP WINDOW IN THE ROOM! She fires it off with an electric hum followed by a KZZAAPP, energy blast frying a brand new spanking hole in the town hall... and setting her presently bare chest on fire SWEET FUCKING JESUS NO BAD THING WHY?! Flailing spastically, she pounces and scrambles her way through the hole, falling into the ground behind the town hall below with a soft thud and immediately rolling about in it, mewling and whining up a storm as she gets rid of the flames trying to wreathe her body. It wasn't as bad as it could've been, but there's not much good to be said about third degree burns on your tits and the hideous pain that accompanies. All a day on the job, though, or so she kept reassuring herself as she started getting dizzy from the rolling.

Seeing no other choices, Savi Steps into the oncoming path on the rocket propelled grenade. Dropping to one kneee, Savi wraps her vines around herself and closes her eyes. Knowing how many people are in the Town hall, and that the server must be protected, Savi waits a split second, then springs herself forward, willing to take the shot as soon as she can, rather than risk being blown back into the town hall anyway. "Dammit..." she mumbles... not knowing she also just stepped in front of Cookies' shot.

Skade doesn't even have time to think coherently as her operative training takes over. With suprising speed she dives down among the pews and rabble, trying to shield herself from most of the blast. Quite needlessly as it turned out. She watches the rocket streak straight for the friendly green monster. Well, that's not good. Not good at all! Acting quickly she activates her nanite buffer, erecting a temporary glimmering nanite shield around Savi, hopefully just in time. Or possibly just in time to shield a heap of compost. She'd find out once the smoke had cleared..

Edel, having not yet gotten to the townhall stops in her tracks once she sees Savi and the rocket. That's not all she sees, though! She glares at Cookies and takes aim with her pistol, taking a shot for her legs.

CaseyRune Grrs. "Damnit! Get back here!" They move fast, jumping though yet another hole right after Cookies, keeping their ice knives at the ready. No way their getting away from Casey.

As the Nanite shield comes up it takes the initial explosion, soaking up some of the damage before it pops like an over inflated ballon. Savi gets blown back, her vines scortched as the explosive charge hits her as her hindquarters are marred by Cookies blast.

Edels aim is true, the only thing stopping her from kneecapping the escaping Feline was Cookies agility. Instead the bullet smacks her right in the shine, taking her leg out from underneath her and causing her to fall face down in the dirt.

Cookies wharrghghlbls in the dirt for a brief moment before she snaps up onto one knee, pushing herself back up and pressing onwards. Between her leg and her chest, she was starting to limp, the bullet in particular serving to be a huge pain in the ass. She hobbles behind the all too temporary cover of a side of a house, taking the opportunity to rip a medical nanobot injector out of her belt and jam it into her leg just above the wound. She groans, but the pain is numbed, although they do little for helping the actual wound itself. She breathes heavily and stares down at the server, then around... Where to go from here and holy fuck that insane dog thing is going to come around the corner any minute BAD DOG. She fumbles desperately with her belt, trying to unlatch something...

Tumbling back, then almost righted by the shot from hehind, Saviante drops to her knees, then falls. Catching herself with one arm and droping her Harvester, She rases her head and levels her gaze at the single Zephyr agent still standing. Raising her one free heand, Savi lifts one shaking hand and raises her middle finger. "Savi quits." she says in her soft voice, before collapsing full to the ground, eyes closed, breath ragged but steady. As her form stills, her loyal mutant companion, the plant-like attack dog Billy creeps out of the forest slowly, homing in on the officer, Billy underlines Savi's resignation with his claws and thorns.

Skade glances over just in time to see Casey dive out after the traitor. She was in no shape to run with her ankle though and it would seem the kitty cat was outmatched and outgunned, she hoped. Instead she elects to limp on over to the collapsed plant and administer some helpful nanobots to soothe the worst of the pain. "You did good, flower girl. Thanks. I owe you one." she says as she manages to find her auto-injector in her pocket.

Edel scowls, and while she doesn't go chasing around that corner just yet... She replaces her pistol and swipes what is essentially a glorified, oversized, overpowered bolt launcher from her back and takes aim at Cookies again. This time she makes a shot for the other leg. "Just give up, please! I take no pleasure in this!" Talk after the shot? Well, why not.

CaseyRune follows after Cookies, knowing Cookies wouldn't leave unless they had what they came for. They watch her round one corner, so they go around the other way, looking to catch her from behind. Its not that easy to escape. They trade their pistol for their rifle, holding it steady, and ready to fire.

As the chaos starts to die down the defenders start to appear. Angry villagers start to close in on Cookie, pitchforks, hunting rifles, anything they could use to defend themselves in hand as they start circling. Looking for blood for their own that Cookies Killed.

Cookies closes her eyes and takes clears her mind, swallowing hard and taking a deep breath... then unclips a grenade from her belt, pulls the pin and slaps it straight onto the side of the server, positioned so she can hold the spoon down. Working a little basic construction nanomagic, she seals the two firmly together. She makes a point of keeping the loose pin around a finger. "ALRIGHT EVERYFUCKINGBODY," she roars out, holding the grenaded-server up. "If you kill me you kill this server and god only knows what happens then." She looks over all the villagers with a terribly blank stare. "Redding, California. We broke a server. Odds are damn good somewhere around a hundred thousand or so was it? That was the death toll there. Because we broke the server. Everything turned to decay and dust." She stands up straight and, back firmly to the wall, makes her way towards the nearest goddamned way outta this crappy village. She makes a point of waving the server around threateningly at people who try to come too close. "I don't know about all of you, but, heh, hahaha, oh- hahaha, I REALLY like being not-dust."

Saviante heals with the added assistance, but she stays down. Herconscious part in this conflict over and done with.

Edel levels her gun at Cookies. "Put the server down, or I'm going to shoot you anyway and let the bomb sort it out. If you escape, I will hunt you down and kill you in your sleep. If that server leaves, your head is mine. I will count to three."

Fenris steps from behind a wavering, shadowy illusion directly behind the mad cat-mayor, a large, cast iron frying pan raised above his head. He swings it down hard, hoping for a good hit while reaching for the grenade with his free hand.

CaseyRune lunges at Cookies, discarding their knives and dropping their rifle for now. Their first target is the Server and genade, grabbing it and hoping to seperate the two quickly, knowing that this thing will blow quickly, they try to at least keep pressure on the lever for now.

The Villagers back away, not wanting to their server to blow up. But as soon as CaseyRune lunges for the grenade there is a collective gasps, some of the villagers taking cover as they don't know what is about to happen!

Cookies topples over again face dirt into the goddamn ground as Casey snatches away the serverbomb. And the damn pin is still on the catgirl's finger!!! Oh, she bites the dust. For all of about two seconds before she scrambles back up and bolts straight for Casey's arms, aiming to REVERSE-YOINK the device!! "LetmetakethatoffyourhandsIcanhandleit" she mrowls out at a probably incomprehensible speed to Casey.

Fenris clears his throat. "Lady Mayor," He says loudly, "May I propose a trade?" He produces the rare, illustrated edition of Alice in Wonderland that he um. . . borrowed from the cat town library. It bears a remarkable image of the Cheshire cat on the cover. "I have this fine bit of literature that I think will enrich cat town far more than this chinck of plastic."

Edel pauses and holds her fire. She doesn't even do the count, yet! Seem like they might have it under control? Maybe? Either way, Edel maintains a safe distance and keeps her weaponry trained on Cookies, just in case. "Just give it up. Make it easier for everyone."

CaseyRune gives a seely cold gaze at Cookies. "Move and I sever more than just this grenade from the server. They produce a thin but undoubitly sharp blade from underneath their coat, slicing at the weld point between the grenade and the server.

Cookies stares at Fenris for a moment and gives him a smirk with a hint of admiration in it. That cheeky little bastard, trying to trade off stuff he stole from us TO us! Maybe it was the painkillers making her feel that way, though. In any case: She fucking legs it, not out of but straight THROUGH the village to get to the other end entirely. She is out of there, running for her goddamned life and doing her best to herd the villagers away and behind her, brandishing her explosive little super-duper-jury-rigged trap that was probably only a finger slip away from detonating from how much it's been passed off.

Fenris shakes his head. There's just no dealing with the mad thing. "Let her go," he says, loud enough to be heard. "What has that thing brought you but misery?" He turns to leave. The lives that could be saved had been. It was up to them now.

As Cookies runs through the crowd they leap out of the way, not wanting the server to be destroyed. No one went after, they were to afraid of what Cookies might do to the server if they did....
