"I'm hearing a lot of gunfire for just two little drones. What's going on back there?" The tug captain radioed to the barge.

"Another boarding party! Nothing we can't handle, but I'm calling it in anyway!" the barge captain shouted back. He prepared to grab a flare gun to signal the sub, but was stopped short by one of Laelia's bullets going through his hand.

''THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS THINKING!?! ''Estellia and Stahlfritz almost shouted as the others unleashed droves of violence on the Order. Fortunatly, the battle couple had several ops worth of experience against the Order and thus all the proper contingencies. Especially in regards to a Trigger Happy neophyte...

"Shit. CATSAI, jam all comms!" Stella ordered while she phased into the the tug's bridge to silence the captain. With two high-tech guns and cybernetics to do the aiming for her, she cleared the bridge in milliseconds before phasing vertically above the tug to rain down fire on any Order troops on deck.

"Where's your 'holy beast' now, ya bastards!?"

While that was going on, Fritz cloaked, climbed out of the water and into the barge's control room. In there, the team's leader was desperatly trying to get a distress message out to his allies on the sub.

"Ambush! Crane is compromised!" he shouted into the radio. Nothing. With the rest of his men keeping the attackers engaged, he had a small opening in which to fire off that flare. The moment he leaned out of his window, an invisible hand belonging to Stahlfritz grabbed him by the neck and pulled him into the water. From there, Fritz clambered on top of the control room and finished off the remaining order with high-powered shots from shrekfaust.

With all enemies cleared out, Stella had CATSAI lift the jamming from her scroll. According to a poster on the bridge, the Order was to use color-coded flares in case of jamming. The poster listed yellow as: under attack, red as: mechanical issues, and blue as: all clear. Stella dug through the nearby cabinets and fired off a blu flare as per the Order's code.

"Well, that was a close one." Fritz said as he stepped out of the control room and de-activated his claws "...ok. So, now we've got a mostly intact crane barge with absolutely no crew. This doesn't look suspiscious at all." The merc said that with more than a hint of sarcasm. In earlier days, he'd be extremely ticked off at Cormac. He still was, but seeing as they were able to recover the situation, he let it slide.
