"Well what do you
expect?" Lynda mocked again as she fought
The Mongrel
. "You think other warriors of the Alliance wouldn't do
exactly what I did to all that
cattle you pretended were warriors at Jedha? You overestimate Civilization's
restraint when it comes to your type, clinging to the Bryn'adul's
coattails..."
He was smart, she'd give him that much. He took the damage to his armor rather than the blade, because they
both knew that without it, he was a dead cyborg walking.
"I will admit only this much...killing Maw brings me
immense pleasure..." Lynda said, even as her databases looped the record of her dead pets.
"There will
always be a place in their world for those like me.
Because there are always enemies like you on the horizon..." she hissed as she struck, laughing coldly at his assertion that he served the three avatars.
"But you...take away the three Avatars, and what are you left with? Your rotted brain? An unfeeling body that even now struggles to keep up? You're nothing to your
Gods even if they exist. Why would they reward
you? Or any of the fools who died under your watch? Is that what you were told and you simply
accepted it, like the
cattle you are? Or did they have to
torture the belief into you, because you had too much common sense to buy into their paradise?"
The Mandalorians of Clan Hades were
fearless. When the Razorghasts appeared, they immediately waded into direct combat, dodging their onboard Weaponry while House Li-Ves Soldiers managed to seize E-Webs and started firing at the cyborgs to try and draw aggro on themselves, one Designated Marksman firing on one with armor piercing rounds.
Meanwhile, the Sonic Pistol of the Mongrel hit her at point blank range, making her fly backward.
Her flesh wriggled everywhere
disgustingly like rats were underneath as her design took the sonic damage. It was clear his sonic cannon had done
something even if it wasn't certain what. If the Mongrel squinted
hard he'd be able to view part of her strange, obsidian skull as parts of the flesh on her face tugged randomly in different directions. The flesh looked red as a beet, and she seemed only a second or two slower than usual as she snapped the fingers, flesh tugging away in random directions even there. Her blue and red, hoplite type armor
had sustained significant damage, torn and shredded like the flesh beneath. The sword was still intact, and had already begun repairing the damage to her systems. But she wasn't sure she could take another hit so soon...
She snapped her fingers and took a running leap. One of her own side, at the signal, tossed an active fragmentation grenade with three seconds on the timer at her and the Android (whose flesh hadn't stopped writhing) kicked it at the Mongrel as she leapt into the air...
Meanwhile...
Lynda's vengeance obsessed mind had accounted for the fact that such a sensitive operation for a known Maw Asset must surely have a HVT somewhere in the building.
While the Final Dawn Troopers and other assets of theirs were trying to evacuate (and getting blasted at through the walls by one of the stolen smuggler ships while the other continued to fire through the roof, now setting their sights on the razorghasts themselves), another team of House Li-Ves Soldiers had deployed on the roof, armed with Mandalorian Assault Rifles, and shatter pistols, along with stolen First Order Repeating Blaster Pistols and Stun Grenades.
The silent shatter pistols were used to kill EEC security teams as every EEC personnel here was assumed to be working for the enemy.
There was to be no negotiation.
Zero. Not with
Tu'teggacha
, and certainly not with
Aerarii Tithe
and GAMA.
They were crazy enough to take on GAMA.
That said, far more mercy would be shown to GAMA than EEC.
They only knew an HVT was here, but even their own considerable espionage group hadn't been able to tell them who.
That's why they moved quickly through the passages to the Executive level, shooting any EEC security team that got in the way. When they started encountering (and being held up for a bit by) and killing Final Dawn troops, they knew they were on the right track.
Orders upon reaching the Executive Suite were to execute everyone in charge of top level decision making at EEC, even if they were not the HVT they were searching for.
A message was to be sent: Any who dared work for the Maw willingly (or didn't rebel) was not safe. It didn't matter if they wore a business suit or battle armor, they were
dead meat...
