Chapter 14: Sarin Gas

We were getting down to the nitty gritty survivors now. Hardened soldiers who knew what was coming and welcomed the experience. Consummate gunman that did not have a fear of death and for that reason alone were twice as dangerous as the others.

There were no sentries on duty at the Firebase, nor were there any Pirates around the remains of the camp fire. Nor were there any in the Firebase that we could see or sense. Hence no one to snipe with the Pulse rifle, or drop grenades on, or for Beast to stalk and butcher. As far as we could see the remaining five Pirates had retreated back inside their ship. No doubt mining and booby trapping the hell out of the surrounding area. Maybe leaving a few Automated Sentry Gun Units behind to torment us when we show up.

To be sure we moved in above the Pirate ship and dropped grenades all the way around its parameter to setoff whatever ordinance they might have setup to trap us. We did get a number of secondary explosions but not what we expected. It was beginning to look like they had run out of stuff to go bang. It also looked like they were inviting hand to hand combat within the ship. Something that was not about to happen in my game play book as that was sure death.

We collected our drones as they had done a magnificent job of harrying the enemy to death. And returned to our ship for a council of war. My objective was to kill the remaining five Pirates, dig up the buried ones, clean up the area and throw all the junk into the Pirate ship, attach a lift device to the ship and lift the mess into space and with a few well-placed explosives turn the whole thing into pile of garbage set on a path to interstellar deep space where it would never be found. But to do that we had a few problems that needed resolution.

“Muther, can you go through the wiring diagram of the Pirate ship and open the loading bay ramp? If you can then I can fire in several canisters of Sarin Gas, you button the ramp back up and keep it closed and we gas the rats in their holes. Perhaps you can even ensure the gas is circulated through their HVAC system so everyone in the ship gets their fair share.” I ask.

“I don’t see that being a particularly difficult request, though I would like to get within say five hundred meters as I can get much better schematics and have much more absolute control of their ship system.” replies Muther.

Poe lifts the ship up out of the canyon and we move across the valley to hover close to the Pirate ship. Meanwhile I collect my Sarin gas canisters and my modified M79 grenade launcher that I will use to fire the Sarin canisters in through the loading dock opening.

“Ok, I have the schematics and control of their ship.
