As the van came to a halt, Krestov's eyes opened, head raising as the internal switch in his instincts flipped on: it was go time.  In a swift motion, the troll donned his combat helmet, single-pane visor covering his eyes and flickering to life, its systems activating into combat mode.  His various AROs quickly arranged themselves the way he liked: map overlay to the side, along with condition monitors, environmental indicators, etc.  The only thing that stayed near the middle was his smartlink reticle.  As the van stopped, the door slid open, and Krestov moved surprisingly quick for a troll, grabbing his riot shield and jumping to the ground, the van's suspension raising a good couple inches upon his departure.

As he weaved through the trainyard, his heavy steps were the only things out of the norm he could notice.  The 'silence' put him on edge, and he felt like something was off.  Following Slobbertooth, he pulled out his Crusader in his main hand, quietly clicking off the safety and taking up position opposite the ork, looking for him to give the signal.

"Affirmed.  I can open or kick the door, your call"

Torrent readies his pistol.
This is fucked up.

Slobbertooth raised his HK-227, and modified the thermographic vision on his helmet.

"Kick it. If we have hosts, let's distract them for Jane and Torrent."

Krestov gave one curt nod, stepping in front of the door in two strides, taking a stance facing parallel to the door's facing.  Two deep breaths, that was all that was heard on the comms before, like a coiled spring, the troll moved.  One step, side-step, the front leg lifted up at the knee, the back foot rotating away from the door.  His hips shifted, throwing the force of all 400 pounds of his weight into his front leg, springing straight and driving his heel into the door like some great wrecking ball.: 10d6t5 5.

Knowing that his hit struck true, he didn't wait for confirmation on the results of his kick, as the resultant noise would alert any 'friends' they had.

Breach initiated.  Go go go!

"Drek. I hacked a bio-monitor. Our target is dead as any corpse can be."

Let's do some work. Crap - there's way too much to day. Where shall I begin? Intel, always. Knowledge is power, in the shadows and everywhere.

bnc takes a deep virtual breath. Oh, I almost forgot! I'm still not used to go in a team. bnc configures our commlinks and smartguns as slaves to her deck, then tries to gather what information she can find on the freightyard.

Krestov kicks in the 'front' door. Torrent pops the rear. Krestov's heavy, heavy shoe connects with all the force and anger of a man woken at balls'thirty can muster, and combined with his body weight, turns the heavy oak portal blocker into nothing but splinters and bits and pieces which splatter the room. The doorway frame cracks visibly as the hinges are ripped from their resting place. Not a half a second later, Torrent makes his entry and in less than a second, the wide open space is completely under team control. There used to be offices in here, that much was certain, until the old dry wall fixtures were ripped out, and likely reused elsewhere to save money. Old computer terminals and wall fixtures still remained, like a wallphone so old it beloned in a meseum, and a timetable outdated about twenty years ago. There are old stacks of boxes that stand around, as if this building had been repurposed as storage and then forgotten about some years later. The cobwebs are thick and fierce with a place like this. If it weren't for the desperate call for backup, you'd have put good money on being the first people to enter in a long time.

Some of the old office equipment remained. A table here, a chair here. Torrent sees it first as clears to his left. The rigger, the source of the flatline. Back rested against the wall, a trail of blood from where the orc stood when he'd been hit to where he lay sitting now. A bloodied hand rested against the wound in his chest with a rag, clear sign that the man had bled out trying to keep his drones in the air at the same time as trying to keep himself breathing.

Krestov splits to the left around the main stack of boxes. Shell casings lay scattered, in a thick sort of line leading further into the boxes to his right. But six steps in was where they ended, the cause of which is clear. The team's first troll and machine gunner with his M202, still smoking and barrel glowing a soft red lay with two holes in his flak jacket... And a third execution style to the skull to put him down for good. A glance back where you came from reveals what might be why, a line of chunks missing from the wall, three or four were bloody, like confirmed hits on an attacker, by his facing.

Breaking to the right behind Krestov was Slobbertooth, his heels crunching over dust and long dead spiders the whole way down. A quick 90 degree turn to the left when the 'hallway' made of boxes and wooden crates. The rustling of metal lifting brought his attention quickly to the ground, a raised SPAS-22 shotgun aimed downrange (And right at him!) before the bleeding form of Wasteland was able to ID the target and lowered it a slight. "You're late," Came the out of breathe introduction before the shotgun clattered to the floor, clattering like it was completely empty. There's soft whiff of smoke rising from her vest, probably a commlink, smoking from the round that had penetrated it and gone into her shoulder.

bnc, in the wide open digital world that is the matrix, you find that helicopter nevermore. You *know* it's there, you can just feel it. But, it's gone, and you've no idea where it is. More heartening though, is you can locate four of the army of Wasteland's team drones, Idling, hovering Optic-Xs with cut down Protector SMGs strapped on. Waiting for master's orders that would no longer come. But aside from their drones and their equipment, you locate two more bodies, the remaining of Wasteland's team with further, deeper searching. The other machine gunner was killed at the northernmost corner, two tracks in, on the opposite side of the trainyard where you entered it from. His commlink his smashed, likely by enemy fire, his attached devices hanging threadless and pinging now and against for their host device no longer operating. There is nothing else in the trainyard. Beyond the carnage and the loss of life already evident, whoever did this had already cleared out. There's nothing left in the trainyard at all. Just you... and the corpses, and the barely alive Wasteland.

Krestov stopped in his tracks as he spotted the first troll's freshly slain form on the ground, noting the shell casings.  No one uses cased ammo anymore...this one enjoyed the classic style..  Quickly scanning the surrounds, he cleared the area before setting his shield down, holstering his Crusader as he dropped to one knee.  Propping up the body, he pulled the M202 away from his hand before crossing them before his chest.  Reaching up, he closed his eyes before bowing his own head, as if paying reverance and giving a quick field 'final rites' deal.

His comm was silent for a couple moments before he finally spoke up, his rumbling voice quiet and withdrawn.  "Man down...executed."

Slobbertooth surveys the room, shielding his nose from the smell with his arm. "Well, it could be worse. They could still be suffering." (Or'zet)" He notices the drones. They're hovering. They're armed. "Matrix overwatch, can you shutdown these drones, or at least prevent someone else from remotely taking control of them?"

Slobbertooth lowers his HK, approaches and kneels down next to Wasteland. "You can tell our driver the route she should have taken after this, let's get you stable and jet." He pulls out the medkit he keeps in his pocket, but realizes Wasteland will probably need more than what he has on him, and holds out his free hand to Krestov.

The quick orders from the ork brought Krestov from his reverie, reminding him that there was a job to do.  "Understood, on my way"  He subvocalized before standing.  He stepped nimbly, clearing the distance in a matter of seconds before he was upon Slobbertooth, positioned in front of Wasteland.  Without a word, he reached into one of his pockets, withdrawing the requested trauma patch. 

"Hold still, we will get you out of here" He rumbled softly, finding a bare spot of skin to apply the patch.  Activating it, he let the cocktail of painkillers, stabilizers, and coagulants go to work on the Ork.  He would wait one moment before speaking again.

"Recommend we extract the target as soon as possible.  Same goes with the fallen.  Link visual feeds to me, I want a look at everything if possible. For Wasteland, I can and will carry as able."

"Strange news, chummers. There appears to be no enemy activity. I guess the team has already cleared. I can find no commlinks save four ours and theirs and nothing else apart from the drones. There might, however, be a really skilled decker outside who conceals something from me. I can't even find the drekky helicopter."

"Matrix overwatch, can you shutdown these drones, or at least prevent someone else from remotely taking control of them?"

"I can. I will have to lift the protection from the strongest of your links, though. Maybe I might put them to good use, but I think I should join you in meat. I just heard there are survivors. I'm coming instantly. There's little I can do online anyway."

If nobody objects, bnc switches her deck to AR mode and returns to her meat body. She quickly unsheathes her gun and makes for her team in what speed she can muster reasonably without making herself a potential target. Even while running, she lifts the master slave configuration of the strongest four commlinks in our team and enslaves the four drones. "On the way. Position him in a way the he doesn't lose too much blood. Eight-six-eight-two, what do you need a vis feed of?"

"She, Malyutka."  Krestov muttered in reference towards Wasteland, their survivor.  Hidden under his helmet, his cheeks flashed red in reference to the handle she used.  Ignoring that, he gave a response to explain his intent.

"Visual feed of as much as we can of the fallen and surrounds.  To confirm what our witness knows and make up for what she missed."  He paused, kneeling beside Wasteland as his mind did a quick count.  "The fourth, a troll, is not in the vicinity.  Possible he fell outside building.  Locate and I can go confirm when you get here.  Step light and swift."

Turning back to Wasteland, he used his arms to steady her, trying to get her in a comfortable, stable position.  "Help is coming.  Can you tell us what happened?"

"Apologies"
bnc pants heavily, yet her online voice is clear and almost calm.
"I marked the Wasteland team's 'links in your ARO map. The orange triangulars. One of their team's commlinks is offline, though. I also fed in the four drones, of which I will take care of thouroughly 'soon as Wasteland's clearly not wasted.
If they've got a cam, I might feed real visuals."


Breathing heavily, bnc arrives in the interiors of the boxcar. Looking at the carnage, she has to steady herself at the wall. "Oida, Scheiße," she curses. "What the f..."
She closes her eyes for an instant to recover, than gives her best to be her professional self again. She kneels besides Wasteland and examines the wounds for a couple of seconds while she opens the medkit without looking at it. You know from your only run before that bnc has a knack for medicine and that she knows what she's doing (given her mind is clear).

"Krestov, get her out of that vest, while I prep my stuff. Hurry."
bnc takes out the pinchers, the needle and some hygienic cloth, while Krestov (hopefully) undresses Wasteland. She then urges him to move her in a lying position and prepare something to drink. bnc tries to locate the bullet(s) and, if possible, remove it/them, before applying bandages and medication, ever watchful for the stopping of either breathing or her heartbeat.

She seems worried and upset, and from the expression on her face, you are not entirely sure, whether she is really focussed on the tasks. Her fingers, however, appear to know what they're doing.

Slobbertooth realizes it would be better if he didn't interfere with bnc too much. He grips his HK and begins moving back to the entrance he came through.
