How a Rogue Doctor Escaped from the Enforcers with the Help of the A.P.A

04/12/44,265 ·

It was another bleak night in the Drake Sector. Captain Danville sipped his recaf and surveyed the terrain wondering how the hell he was going to get the Rogue Doctor across the wasteland to the drop point. He had no idea what he was facilitating but the money on offer was good and it was best not to ask questions. At least the Doc had the sense to stick a displacer field on, thought the Captain.  

The drop run was set to start at 5:00 a.m. sharp as, in his experience, most criminal gangs didn’t get up that early.

The Captain had amassed the best Drakes Watch had to offer in the hope that the numbers alone would be enough to put off any would-be assailants. That….or the hulking great Am-Bot ED209 he’d manage to poach from a reluctant Noble he had a bit of dirt on. 

Little did the officers know that The A.P.A had been on an all night bender and after a chance meeting in one shadier taverns had agreed to stop the handover despite the odds.  

The A.P.A set up the blockade at the bottom of the old mining plant and prepared themselves for a fierce firefight. 

The Enforcers closed the distance with precision and speed. It was quickly apparent that the Enforcers outnumbered the Orlock Outlaws and out-gunned them. Despite this the Outlaws fought with bravery bordering on the suicidal. 

Saitama found himself alone on the left flank. Outnumbered with nothing more than an autogun and the new ‘warp’ rounds he brought off an old gypsy, who swore they were the ‘real deal’. After he’d taken out one of the rookies he set his sights on the other.  The new shiny rounds glowed eerily green……. Smeg it why not he muttered and Jammed in the single round…. Despite the beers and blurred vision the round hit its mark. The round clunked off the armour causing no damage. He was going to make the gypsy wish they’d never been Born. Suddenly the rookie started to change colour from pink to red to purple…. Saitama watched the rookie strip naked, throw their weapons to the ground and run off into the distance clutching their head shouting that they didn’t want to be late again. Maybe these aren’t so bad he mused. 

Unfortunately no-one else I’m the A.P.A was that lucky….except (Lucky Seven) as the Enforcers picked off the gangers on the right flank slowly and surely. TIO and Dai Bo both going down in the hail of bullets from the Enforcers. Neil and Jariya desperately held the high ground trying to give cover fire. 

Sensing victory slipping away Jariya Sensei gambled with his life by moving out of cover for a final throw of dice. It was an impossible shot. Three precise bolt gun rounds smashed into the Doc despite the crowd surrounding the target. 

A flash of light erupted from the Doc as the displacement field kicked in and sent the Doc flying backwards and away from the drop site. Unfortunately for the Enforcers this flash of light caused SGT Booth to plow a shotgun round right into the back of the massive ambot ED 209. The shots took two huge chunks out of its rear armour and toppled the robot flat on its face before it could charge and kill two cornered Orlocks. 

With the Doc pushed back out of range of the board edge. The only chance for the enforcers fell to Patrolman Gibbs to remove the standing Jariya Sensei. He managed to seriously wound Jariya Sensei but as he remained on the battlefield unbroken the Enforcers were unable to claim the victory, the rackets and intrigues despite the huge ‘show of force’. Dia Bo, Zoro, Yarrick, Neil, XXV935 and the man who calls himself the Invisible One all taken out of action. The Enforcers came out relatively unscathed but will have some explaining to do back at the precinct.
