>>>>>| I'm back. Here's the second part of the Overdrive run - as seen by
me.

So like I was sayin' the snake looks at NightShade and half of hs armor jacket
starts melting - at first I thought it was Acid Venom - but then I see this thi
ngs eye start glowing, like its ready to cast a spell -- So I duck underneath t
he water. Good thing too, the thing threw a firebolt at me . . . which was larg
ely disappatted by the water. I come up spraying both my Uzi IV on full auto.
The bullets bounce of some protective field. Luckily NightShade brought out the
Panther and shot it. The protective field shattered and the bullet made a fist-
sized hole in the thing. That was all the opening I needed - I grabbed an explo
sive grenade, popped the pin, ran up and stuck my arm into the wound of the sna
ke thing wrist deep, left the grenade there and ducked. The thing turned around
- murder in its demonic eye --- and exploded.
After that it was smooth sailing til we got to the cavern with building in
it. Their were three pairs of sentries out front. Two at the North corner, Two
at the South corner, and two guarding the door. We walked up casually as if we
belonged (we were still wearing the Coyotes jackets) and tried to enter the squ
at concrete building. But these fraggers had order from "El Diablo" not to let
anyone in. What could we do -- we had to get in. We scragged the guards, pushin
g them into the doorway. Unfortunately, the other two sentries squads noticed.
We ended up shooting it out. We flatlined them, but not before NightShade took
a hit in the ribs - cracking it.
We quickly entered, and found ourselvles at a T-intersection of corridors.
Thankfully we took the left. After 20 meters we found ourselves passing their
main computer/security room - we casually lobbed a few frag grenades in there
(hoping it would help you guys out. Meanwhile we started hearing some heavy
duty battling going on outside: guns, explosions, roaring/howling, the works .
. . We decided you guys must've arrived. We kept going down the hall until we r
eached an elevator - with guard standing in front of it. Nil sheen, as they say
-- after punching his ticket we got the passkeys for the elevator and took it
downstairs.
A real chamber of horrors. This place was divided into three rooms. The biol
ab where they kept the professor plus formula plus everything else necessary to
geneticly engineer the Overdrive Snakes. We took care of this place first - you
geussed it - lots a chemicals plus explosives = big bang. Thats were we took
out the prof and got the data disk of the Overdrive formula. The second was the
armoury --- stacks and stacks of goodies. We took some samples an placed seven
timed charges -- 3 minutes. Then we went into the third room . . . and wished
we hadn't. It was a conjuring chamber or something - dead animals, pickled huma
n parts, scarlet feathers, writhing sigils, and this guy . . .He was painted re
d with stuff written on him, burning eyes, he lifted his hands over his head --
we ran. and ran. as fast as we could go. The fireball hurtled us both thirty
feet. I remember landing. And starting to pass out. I was sure we were geeked
as soon as he walked out of his room. Then I remember some voices, shapes pasin
g us, a big fireworks display, then being dragged out, and having a running fir
efight with the remaining Coyotes and Hellhounds. Then we were out. I guess me
and Ole NightShade owe our lives to you guys. Thanx Legion, Milhaus, Ragman.
You really savied our soy back there.
So thats it - everything I saw during the run. Alot of gaps. Milhaus,
Legion, Ragman. I'd really like to hear what you saw and encountered on the
run. Please post it up. Eagerly Waiting.|<<<<<
