The Raid By Andrew Pope#767307

We stood there facing down the on coming hoard , all that we had to achieve was survival it was going to be a 72 hour rage against the machine ......... literally , the machines were going to start coming and keep on coming. The call went out , form the wagons in a circle and keep the middle clear , the kill zone was not to have anything breating in it , not a heart , not a hydrolic pump , a battery driven servo ........... NOTHING.

That was the rule for 72 hours , that center is our space and that's how it is to stay ......... and slowly they answered the call , the smurf camp slowly came to life , a few salvo's here or there and then Jake stepped up and his guns belched forth fire and ice and every other chemical , known and unknown to man , and they dropped like fly's , limbs , prosthetic and all sorts of abominations attached to cores that boar the names of many a fallen pilot and some even resembled , in outward appearance only , the names and faces of many that had taken the field before and would take the field again .............

The sun rose and the sun set but the hoards didn't stop , but neither did the guns that the line had come to really on , as the empty cases piled by their feet , and the canisters that propelled so many different things lay strewn on the ground , it was going to take more that a mindless collection of clones to lay waste to the men and women of a proud and ruthless group . United they stand , but no way they would fall .....................
