06:46:54: Package picked up by Mercer Pompadour
06:46:55: There are automatic rifles and there are these. The GZNKA tank killer is surprisingly light as 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 Mac Nielson has used it, targeting Mercer Pompadour's ship as it races across the horizon. However, Mercer Pompadour's ship is not only retrofitted with two meter thick armor, but also an electronic shielding system. Mac Nielson's rounds do find their way through the shields, but only make it one foot into the armor. Mercer Pompadour dips their ship, skirting past Mac Nielson and giving them third degree thruster burns across half of their body.
07:00:35: Blaylock Samson tried to sneak on board Mercer Pompadour's ship but a security robot detected and repelled the attempt. Mercer Pompadour continues their delivery.
08:00:42: Blaylock Samson steadily took aim from a second story window as Mercer Pompadour ran by below. Sweat dotting their forehead, Blaylock Samson inhaled sharply and squeezed the trigger. It was a miss. Mercer Pompadour resumes delivery, trying to ignore the echoing rifle shot and fragments of wall exploding just overhead.
09:00:25: Mac Nielson is impaled on a lengthy spear with a laser tip by Mercer Pompadour after a failed package theft attempt. Mercer Pompadour resumes on their way.
10:00:35: Blaylock Samson does not normally mourn death. Blaylock Samson is accustomed to the loss of those they meet, in one capacity or another. But that last death. A split second of Blaylock Samson thinking about it meant they were a split second too late on the trigger as Mercer Pompadour emerged from the parking garage, package in tow. The shot missed. Mercer Pompadour dove, taking a shot mid-air. Mercer Pompadour was not thinking about human connection, unlike Blaylock Samson. This is arguably why Blaylock Samson was shot in the gut. Mercer Pompadour resumes their delivery, package in tow.
11:00:20: 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 Mercer Pompadour smiles. Winners aren't born; they're built. 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 Mercer Pompadour's adrenaline. Ignoracious Buttafucco fires a wrist mounted laser, signing the hip of Mercer Pompadour. "Not today, my friend." Mercer Pompadour twists in mid-air and strafes the area with bullets, hitting Ignoracious Buttafucco four times square in the torso and then resumes delivery.
12:00:26: Ignoracious Buttafucco misses their double-fisted pistol shots. A sad attempt involving a total of 24 rounds fired at Mercer Pompadour. Mercer Pompadour resumes delivery of their package.
13:00:22: 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 Mercer Pompadour smiles. Winners aren't born; they're built. 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 Mercer Pompadour's adrenaline. Mac Nielson fires a wrist mounted laser, signing the hip of Mercer Pompadour. "Not today, my friend." Mercer Pompadour twists in mid-air and strafes the area with bullets, hitting Mac Nielson four times square in the torso and then resumes delivery.
14:00:18: The delivery point only has one way in, about a hundred yards away from a gated entry. Ignoracious Buttafucco 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. Mercer Pompadour ignites their rocket boots, attempting to vault over the death trap. Mercer Pompadour almost makes it, but is caught on their ankles, immediately becoming a tangled bloody mess in Ignoracious Buttafucco's trap. Frantic, 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, Mercer Pompadour hustles towards the remainder of the delivery path, lobbing grenades over their shoulder. As Ignoracious Buttafucco manically runs after Mercer Pompadour firing rounds in their direction, they are caught in one of Mercer Pompadour's grenades, losing a leg. Mercer Pompadour continues, hobbling, towards the delivery point.
