[A still of a dwarf in a chemsuit, respirator covering the whole face,
next to a Volkswagen van. The dwarf assumes the pose of a hunter,
leaned against the open driver's door. There is a black box connected
to both the autopilot and ignation. A male human is tied to the
driver's seat and steering wheel, asleep or unconscious.]

[A Mercedes station wagon. The rear doors are open, and Twitch -
concealed by dark glasses and a cloth wrapped over his mouth and chin -
lies in the car, a Saeder-Krupp one-shot missile launcher aiming at the
camera. You notice a wall welded into the car to protect the driver
from the launcher's exhaust. Some kind of machinery is attached to
the rear door, probably to open it automatically. A sticker on the
door reads: "Baby an Bord"...]

The Autobahn, somewhere in Germany. More then 70% of the cars are
Volkswagens, Mercedeses and BMWs. Next to the steering wheel rests a
non-cyber version of a remote control deck, currently displaying the
message, "Autopilot Linkage active!" The Mercedes - easily
identifyable by the characteristic star on the steering wheel - speeds
at 200 km/h on the Bahn, passing slower cars. After about a minute,
Ein_Schuss announces "Contact," and receives a grunt from behind as
confirmation.
The Mercedes passes three BMWs, which are appearently armoured and
drive in convoy. Passing the leading BMW, the Mercedes slows down, and
switches lanes on the right one, in front of the luxury sedan.
Switching to autopilot, Ein_Schuss picks up the rig with gloved hands.
Deactivating the linkage, he speeds the remote controlled car, until
the display shows it is parallel to the third BMW in row. "Showtime,"
he announces, and pulls the joystick sharply to the right. The last
you can see before the display fails is the van crashing into the
sedan, and bursting into flames immediately.
Ein_Schuss looks up, and in the rear view mirror you can make out an
enormous fireball blocking the Autobahn. He disengages the autopilot,
and kicks the car to greater speed. "Hit 'em, hard," he yells, and
from the rear you hear Twitch answer, "Yeah," as with an electric
whine the rear door opens. Suddenly there is a hissing noise,
followed by an explosion shortly after. When Twitch cheers "Got'em,"
Ein_Schuss hits the brakes and the Mercedes comes to a skidding halt.
From the rear, there's some crashing souznd, and a heartfelt curse
from Twitch, while Ein_Schuss jumps out from the driver's seat.
Turning left, he just sees the middle BMW coming to a stop, rolling
through the burning remains of the leading vehicle. Twitch throws
aside the still smoking missile launcher, and grabs an automatic
shotgun from the car, laughing loud.
Ein_Schuss brings up a large barreled, short rifle, aims it at the
car. Suddenly, the back door of the BMW flies open, and something or
someone jumps, or rather, _flies_ out. Both Twitch and the dwarf
fire, but their target is too fast even for the hit-dwarf's tactical
computer and simply refuses to be where the rounds are.
"Scheisse," curses the dwarf, moving quickly. The enemy, a male human
in a wide long coat, is moving faster then it should be possible for
any creature, runs at him, and somehow a long blade appears in his
hands, charges him. Tactical data mixes with the standard output of
the smartgun, and just as the sword comes down on him, the rifle barks
again, nearly point-blank. Coat, armor vest and shirt of the enemy are
torn open, blood squirts, but it doesn't stop the blade from tearing
open the dwarf's chemsuit, and the metahuman's blood mixes with his
enemies'.
The camera picks up an image of Twitch, hosing the car and an armed
opponent with a full automatic lead hose from his shotgun.
Although his enemy is out of view, the dwarf's target computer
announces a 80% probability to hit, and the hit-dwraf tries his luck.
As the weapon's report is followed by a cry of pain, his enemy wasn't
lucky today. "Bastard," comments Ein_Schuss, his voice dripping with
satisfaction. Then he raises to his elbows, scanning the area.
Twitch still fires, and by now the BWM looks more like a swiss cheese
then a car, and no other opponent is in view.
The dwarf looks down, and curses violently in at least three languages
when he detects the light red bubbles of blood on his chest. His
cursing is stopped by a sudden cough, and suddenly he drops backwards.

ARMED ATTACK CLAIMS 14 LIVES
dpa - An armed attack on the A995 near exit Giesing cost the lives
of 14 people. After a Volkswagen crashed into a BMW, a so far
unidentified Mercedes station wagon opened fire on two more vehicles.
Police suspects a corporate linked attack, as all victims in the
gunfight were members of a local cybertechnological coporation. Among
the dead was Herr Frankes, rumored to be one of the corporation's main
researchers. Rumors all the equipment used by the attackers being
issued by Saeder-Krupp hasn't so far being confirmed. Two more people
died when their overspeeded Porsche crashed into the site of the
attack. See also ...

As you can see, your employee's opinion was confirmed - people die from
speeding. Twitch moved me out, and your medical support proved to be
really competent - I guess I know why you offer it, after all *grin*

his skin is red from infection, and both his hands are swollen to
nearly double normal size. The dwarf's bed is under a plastic foil, and
several tubes are running to and from his body to machines. Next to the
bed, the lower body and parts of the legs of an enormous person,
possibly a large ork or troll, are visible, in camouflage trousers.]
