Chapter Seventeen

Tag braced his legs, swept the barrel out toward the fast-moving vehicles, and discovered whenever a target moved into the targeting system, the gun would lock on it. He opened fire and the barrel released its lock, as he swept the barrel across the line of approaching targets. He didn’t have to aim, he just had to pull the trigger and keep the barrel moving. The vehicles were the shape of an OA and he was firing on a downward trajectory toward them. In what seemed like an instant, all forty-vehicles were blown apart and flipped over. Tag swept the gun across the terrain in front of him and suddenly saw three-vehicles come out of the sand less than ten feet in front of him. He swept the barrel across and rapidly pulled the trigger three times. The vehicles flipped over and flew away from them in crashing rolls. Tag felt small fragments hitting his armor.

“I have bogies moving in from a mile out. They’re running a serpentine course.”

“How many?”

“Targeting system says fifty.”

Tag kept his eyes to the front and said, “These youngsters are tricky. Let me know if you need help.”

Danielle began firing off rounds and the explosions were huge. Tag stayed focused on the sand in front of them and quick-fired as six-vehicles emerged almost directly under them. “MOVE!” Tag shouted and pushed his back against Danielle. Tag finished the six-vehicles and then whipped around to add his fire to Danielle’s. He kept his armor’s tactical monitor scanning the ground behind them but nothing else appeared. They finished the bogies and scanned the desert around them. A moment later, Eddie, Bobby, and Janie teleported down in front of them. Tag and Danielle shut down the guns and Tag smiled, “You’ve built quite a weapon here. The rounds blew through those vehicles with devastating effect.”

Bobby shrugged, “We tried to make the targets as hard as possible, but we couldn’t come close to the skin of the OAs.”

Tag’s face tightened, “Say what?”

“These rounds your weapons used probably won’t penetrate the OA’s outer layer.”

Tag looked out briefly at the ruined vehicles and said sarcastically, “Then what good are they?!”

Eddie chuckled, “What would happen to a human body if it was hit by a punch moving at the speed of those rounds?”

“It would go completely through it!”

“Let’s say it couldn’t; what would happen?”

Danielle raised a shoulder, “Well, if it hit them in the chest, their sternum would be shoved violently against their spinal cords.”

“With what effect?” Eddie pressed.

“It would probably pulverize their internal organs,” Tag hesitantly answered.

Eddie smiled, “Bravo! The rounds probably won’t penetrate their skin, but it will push their outer layer into the inside of that skin. If there really are one-celled creatures, it would disrupt their internal structures in a major way.”

“I don’t see how you get that without penetration?” Danielle stated.

Bobby quickly replied, “The three-inch flat head of the penetrator will be hitting with the force of a fifty-story-building hitting in that small area. We know their outer layer is flexible; we can see that when they’re moving.
