First sighting...part 4

We run almost before we hit ground and as we follow G'rr towards a possible "safe place" the first psycho war-vet is opening fire. I thank whoever invented UV as I'm hit in the chest by a high caliber explosive bullet. I spin around myself by the force of the impact but continues to run I knew this guy'd kill me if he get the chance! Luckily some carriens find the war-vet very interesting and he's forced to handle them before he can do something about us - unluckily those carriens of his has friends who'd like to eat us for supper! At this moment I'm realizing I must be a complete and utter moron to agree to an assignment like this!
The boys spread out to stop the carriens and I sprint towards a manhole so that we might get away from the surface and this arena! I rip the lid of the manhole and turn to look for the others. They run past me and jump down the hole - stupid stupid stupid Phoenix! I am looking at a horde of carriens... Blue grabs the lid and I jumped head first down the hole. Blue follows quickly, one of the big carriens had somehow gotten between us and began clawing its way down. Blue forces the lid shut and destroys the lock - that should keep them out! Sean and I deal with the carrien while Jack and Gregg runs to meet that manchine we can hear further down the drain - Blue is stuck since he can't get down because of the carrien, Sean and I. A few insane seconds later all is quiet. Only the clawing from the carriens upstairs, ragged breathing and dripping water (blood) is heard. A quick check reveals that everyone's still alive. Gregg has sustained some serious damage to his arm as the Manchine has tried to take it from him. We patch him up and continues our insane run through dark damp drainpipes.
Suddenly a horde of filthy wild civillians attack us. They're basically unarmed and we're carrying guns and swords!? They call for their protector and master and we're guessing the manchine might be it. Amidst the butchering of some 20 unarmed civillians I suddenly regains all my flux - one second it's spent - the next I'm feeling like I could burst with flux. I look at Sean and I can see the glow of power in his eyes. He felt it too!
We haven't got time to talk about it now so we climb through heaps of bodies trying to find a way out. Suddenly we can hear the nasty sound of claws - lots of claws - lots of running claws. Gregg and I take the back and the others scramble to find a way out. We follow but the carriens soon catch up to us. The biggest of the carriens quickly discovers that Gregg is hurt and they try to get him down, but the frother is by no means ready to give up and he empties his gun in their faces. Thy're still on us though and as I keep one at bay with my claws I grab Gregg and throws him ahead of me as we run. Sean is waiting for us and we quickly kill a couple of carriens before we continue down a narrow pipe.
I take front with G'rr and out of nowhere 3 guys in shiver uniforms jumps out to tell us where we're supposed to go. Obviously they're a bunch of frauds and I tell them to step aside or die. As they're not inclined to follow instructions G'rr lobs one "shivers" head off and the other two jumps to get the shaktar down - the two of us pulls them apart in seconds and we continue running for our lives.
We've got 50 carriens behind us and the only thing keeping them away is our occasional bulletspray in their general direction. Finally we find an exit and we throw ourselves out into an open area where we run for the nearest building to find some cover.
As we enter the building G'rr is shot in the shoulder by a big fucking gun. Who the hell told all these people we're here?
I follow G'rr into the building, damn short legs! The rest of the team follows and as we finally catch up to the shaktar we just see him cutting the head of the guy who shot him - nice!
Blue and I take point again as the rest of the team is looking like something out of Slaughterhouse Six. We run through the building and when we come to a long hall Blue takes point alone to spring traps and ambushes - I know he can make it but it just feels wrong anyway. It's not like I can do anything about it for the chagrin is so much faster than me and I can't catch up. Suddenly Blue comes running back with a giant "thing" behind him. It's a machine - maybe made for lifting really heavy things and it just grabs Blue and start crushing him moving towards some large spikes in the other end of the room. The team explodes in total chaos. We all try to get Blue out of the manchine but it has pinned him and no shooting, cutting or cursing is going to change that! In the end Blue takes matters into his own hands and he rips his arm off at the shoulder and pulls out - cutting the wires is no longer a problem and the team dismantles the machine while Blue puts his arm back on - yuk!
We can hear the noise from the cameracrews and Micks comments and we spot the goal just before us. We run as fast as we can but as we leave the building a wraithraider comes sprinting past us. He screams as if Digger is behind him and as we reach goal just seconds after him, we're told that Digger might have been on his tail and that his team didn't make it.
Well we made a nice second - and no one died - 2 teammembers lost their arms and in the middle of all this fuss we suddenly realise that our teamname gotta be Arms & Arms - Since half the team has lost an arm.
We get our 3 seconds of fame but what everyone else remembers from this episode of "Run for your life" is the insane Wraith Raider who ran from Digger and the stormer team who ended up blowing themselves to confetti along with a nest of carriens. But we got our invitation to a banquet with some mediapeople and Mick. So this wasn't a complete waste!
Sean and i talk about our strange fluxregeneration but we don't know what to make of it. So I just write a short note to our BPN report and let Allan sort out the rest - I'm going home to sleep!
