from a KE security drone. Seems like they had some trouble with a few humanis
frags that got past them.

The image resolves to an image enhanced night time view of a spacious and
influential community which the distant landmarks indicate as being somewhere in
Snohomish.
A dozen shadowy figures are hurrying from the communities' roadway to the steel
gate of a large ivy covered stone house set back on a small hill. One of the
figures gestures wildly and the gate warps and rips violently from its hinges.
The image intensify enough to make out that the twelve forms are a motley
assortment of humans. Some of the them in poorly maintained secure jackets with
a small handful of the individuals wearing light security armor. The house
grounds, which had been gently lighted to emphasize the artistic landscaping,
suddenly fall into the pitch black of the cloudy Seattle night. The effect only
lasts for a second or two as the figures rush towards the house which suddenly
becomes a brightly glowing beacon in the oppresses midnight air.
The assailants fall into a moment of disarray as half of force heads on quickly
towards the house while the more disorganize faction hangs back indecisively for
short period of time before advancing on the house. The forward group slows as
it reaches the oversized wooden door of the dwelling and one of the groups
members quickly sets a rocket launcher to his shoulder. The roar of explosives
shatters the night air. A fast shadowy movement from the roof of the house is
the only warning before an enormous form lands with less than gentle energy on
the rear two figures of the advanced group. The screaming sound of tearing
metal and the loud percussive shattering of ballistic plastic once again
shatters the less than still night air as the looming figure spins. A 3 meter
long Tetsubo quickly follows along the twirl and impacts the armor of two more
assailants with shear brutal force and sends them soaring into night.
The image enhances again revealing the massive form of a mammoth troll, quite
possibly nearly 4 meters tall. The rocket wielder drops his empty weapon and
starts to reach for second weapon while the magician responsible for the gate
begin to speak in an archaic chant and gesture wildly.
It is the action he is able to take before the trolls arm cocks and flies
forward. A glint of a metal light streaks forward to impact the forehead of the
mage, but it continues on to imbedding itself in the stones of the house. As
the mage collapses bonelessly to the ground, the rocket wielder frantically
tries to bring his weapon to bear but his line of fire is interrupted by the
troll gripping his head and moving it and the attached body to his rear. The
sickening sound of bursting vertebrae sounds before the clamor of gunfire
resounds in the night air. Jerking wildly in the brief flurry of automatic
weapons fire, the body is only given a brief moment of respite before being
heaved irreverently into midst of its still living fellows.
The body is followed immediately by a small cylinder as the troll dives behind
the protection of a low plant holding brick wall. The attackers not grounded by
the weight of their deceased companion alight into the air under the impulse of
the grenade.
Silence.
Down the street a dog barks vengefully into the night. The troll slowly stands
from behind the divide and looks down bemused at the carnage. "Great, now CRUSH
build wall again."

Well, it sort of gets boring after that. KE pulls up only a few moments later,
too late to be of assistance, but at least they cart away the bodies. One
strange thing happens as the inevitable questions are asked though when an
annoying voice from inside the house inquired whether any of the people present
wanted a small snack of toast]<<<<<
