01:38:17: Package picked up by Mercer Pompadour
01:38:18: There are automatic rifles and there are these. The GZNKA tank killer is surprisingly light as @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) hefts it on their shoulder. The rounds are known to puncture holes two feet wide through heavy ship armor, and are held in a backpack and fed via sling. It is this reason alone that @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) has used it, targeting @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour)'s ship as it races across the horizon. However, @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour)'s ship is not only retrofitted with two meter thick armor, but also an electronic shielding system. @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson)'s rounds do find their way through the shields, but only make it one foot into the armor. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) dips their ship, skirting past @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) and giving them third degree thruster burns across half of their body.
02:00:19: The delivery point only has one way in, about a hundred yards away from a gated entry. @peepso_user_7(Blaylock Samson) has taken the precaution of wrapping that entire entry-way with barbed wire. The only issue with barbed wire in this day and age is that once spotted, it can be avoided. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) ignites their rocket boots, attempting to vault over the death trap. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) almost makes it, but is caught on their ankles, immediately becoming a tangled bloody mess in @peepso_user_7(Blaylock Samson)'s trap. Frantic, @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) activates their shield generator which creates a kinetic field of energy around their body, and it successfully severs most of the barbed wire. Limping, @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) hustles towards the remainder of the delivery path, lobbing grenades over their shoulder. As @peepso_user_7(Blaylock Samson) manically runs after @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) firing rounds in their direction, they are caught in one of @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour)'s grenades, losing a leg. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) continues, hobbling, towards the delivery point.
03:00:19: Someone once told @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) the best way to handle this job is like it's personal. Not business. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) got one over on @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) once before. So definitely, for @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson), that advice hits close to the chest. No guns. Not this time. @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) stakes out the area. Hides in the shadows. @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) see's @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) running hurriedly down the street. @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) takes one last look at the triple barrel sawed-off shotgun in their sling. Certainly safer. No. It's time for revenge. @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) ducks out of the corner, an electrically charged knife in a firm grip. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) doesn't even skip a beat, slicing downward with a chainsaw that @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) did not see before. @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) takes a long horrified look at their severed limb on the ground, still clutching the knife, and then once more up to see @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) escaping with the package still in tow far down the road. Don't worry. The Intergalactic Postal Service has excellent health coverage for limb replacement.
04:00:29: @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) is on a roll, carving a violent swathe through everything in their path when they enter a crossroads. Dangerous territory. A field of Space Bastards, but @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) smiles. Winners aren't born; they're built. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) lets loose a volley of grenades while igniting their rocket boots, soaring over the carnage below. One failed attempt. Two. Three. Four. Each attempted theft of the package raises @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour)'s adrenaline. @peepso_user_7(Blaylock Samson) fires a wrist mounted laser, signing the hip of @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour). "Not today, my friend." @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) twists in mid-air and strafes the area with bullets, hitting @peepso_user_7(Blaylock Samson) four times square in the torso and then resumes delivery.
05:00:03: @peepso_user_9(Mac Nielson) is impaled on a lengthy spear with a laser tip by @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) after a failed package theft attempt. @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) resumes on their way.
05:14:38: @peepso_user_118(Bacon Moo) shot a missile at @peepso_user_140(Mercer Pompadour) and obliterated their ship. All that was left was the package which was picked up and continued its journey with @peepso_user_118(Bacon Moo).
05:38:42: Package delivered by Bacon Moo for $120,000
