Detroit Suck City: Episode 14

 

 
The crew spends a few days resting, healing, and just enjoying the environment of the Undercity. The hospitality of the crew's hosts allowed them to be the most well fed and rested they have been since they can remember. A good number of the crew entertained their vices while 9s spent time with Ren as Kamanji hangs out with the green faerie.

The fateful morning finally came when it was time for business and as they are discussing the job with Azarel and Mr. Doyle, Kruder walks in with a very large crate full of gear and says, "suit up". The crew finds that all of their requests for gear were met and as they are still picking through it Kruder reminds them that when they are done, head down the tunnel to the end of the tracks.


The crew soon finds themselves at the end of the tunnel with Kruder and a few other Undercity guards as they roll out an old beat up truck that has been modified to ride on the rails. As the crew starts loading up their supplies, one of the tunnel walls explode outward and multiple bug like creatures emerge from it charging at the crew and friends. Kruder yells, "the bugs are back" and unloads with his shotguns. During this time, one of the bug creatures takes a bite out of Huey and 9s retaliates with a claw swipe that sends pieces of the bug flying off in the distance. The bugs continue their assault as one of them takes out the driver of the truck and another one snaps one of Kruder's legs but as he is falling, he unloads another volley of shotgun blasts and swings madly with his lead pipes. Huey then teleports to Kruder to try to help him out and give him cover. 


Kamanji pushes the dead driver over and slams the truck in reverse are starts backing up quickly but not quick enough as two bugs jump onto the truck - one going throughthe drivers side and the other in the bed with 9s. Kamanji takes a claw to the face as 9s gives the one in the bed of the truck a lesson in personal space. During this time, Kruder blows another bug a apart with some well places shotgun blasts as two more bugs come through the hole and Parrot takes this opportunity to mental blast one of them. 9s is able to dispatch his unwanted guest as Huey steps into the tunnel and fires his crossbow at the bug still trying to get in through the driver side and connects which causes a shriek from the bug as it looses its grip and falls out of the truck in a twitching heap.Parrot takes a shot and misses at the bugs still coming out of the tunnel. As Kamanji slams on the brakes and puts the truck in drive to run over the bugs he can see in the tunnel the doors behind Kruder open up and two Undercity guards emerge with large flame throwers and light up the bugs and the hole they are coming from. When 9s and Kamanji returns with the truck Kruder lets the crew know to get into the truck and head - they have this under control. 


The crew rides the truck to the end of the tunnel and finds themselves in front of a large concrete staircase. The crew climbs the staircase that eventually opens up into a big warehouse with a heavy reinforced door and Kamanji knocks on the door. A voice from the side asks for a password and 9s explains who they are and who sent them. The door opens quickly after that and the crew is shown around in what appears to be a mechanics ship with various vehicles in different states of repair. One of these vehicles was a supped up, armored, dune buggy with tires bigger then some of the crew. The crew then inquires if that is what they are getting and the workers just laugh and explain that is the bosses and they do not even have the keys. The workers then lead the crew over to the hovering mini van and one of the workers slap one of the panels and says, "she doesn't look like much but she will do .5 past light speed". The reference fell on deaf ears as the crew rolls their eyes and begrudgingly starts to load up. 9s then notices a hover bike and bribes the workers to let him have it. Once packed up, the crew heads out into the Burn. 


Just another day in Detroit Suck City...
