“Hoi chummers, some fragging go gang spiked my engine and stole my wheels. I need you to pick up a set of spares from my dealer and bring them to me in the Barrens. Once you get here, I’d appreciate it if you could cover me long enough to get the cab going again. I don’t have a lot to pay but I’d be happy to introduce you to one of my very useful customers as a reward.”

Anotherz dudez onz da teamz knewz da samez trickz. Wez ablez ta makez outz a fewz werdz andz sum zoundz in da backroundz. Unzuprizinglyz demz chopz zhopz noizez.

Wez getz der Null sweatz andz parkz aroundz da cornerz andz Tinkerz sendz outz da dronez ta takez a lookz. Da zhop iz boardzez upz butz der arez peoplez inz it. Andz inz frontz iz allz dez tirckz outz Jackrabbitz. Dey git neonz, anz lightz, most git hydrolickz, andz allz da soundz ystemz iz boozted ta da max! Iz evenz zee da onez git nitroz.

Da mage drawz iz gun! DREK! Iz clickz myz jawz ta da rightz ta throwz myz reflexz inz ta overzdrivez andz startz bookzin it overz der.

Itz loadzez wit stickz nz schlockz andz zappz da gangerz beforze Kolibriz evenz finizhed pullzin da peice. Diz gangerz twitchez andz jerkz likez a mynomerz toy andz Iz gotz ta stiflez a laughz az e' crumplez ta da street.

Butz zee whilez doze tazerz roundz makez dat weirdz bussinz noize da krak O shotgunz shellz goingz offz wit da noize O' da rotozdronze wellz dat wakez da neighborzhoodz. Nowz wez deepz in da drek partz O' da Barrenz zo notz likez folkz gunna getz upz in armz bout da noize, yetz whenz da gunzhotz iz rightz outzidez youz stickz yo headz outz da windowz ta makez surez dat sum othra zucker iz da onez gitzin da smackzdownz.

Az zoon az Iz git mez feetz backz onz da groundz Iz zeez @Tankz andz @Kolibriz runz pazt mez inz ta da buildzin rightz inta da xrozz firez. Tankz darlingz dat E' iz haz da grace ta lookz dumbfoundez, butz Kolibri finallyz haz dat riflez outz andz iz bringzinz itz aroundz.

And den da ceiling cavez in!....

Okz wellz da wholez ceilingz didn'tz cavez in, Mrz Teaz jumpez throughz dat skylightz wit hiz megaton punchz techniquez. Da boi cumz downz onz da topz O' onze O' da Jackrabbitz in da zhop dat dey upgradinz. Dem thinz no madez fo a troll onz da roof, much lezz cummin downz fromz da skyzlightz in a fraggin suppa heroz poze. Da roofz O' da car cavez in andz shrappnelz O' thin metalz andz cheapz electronicz everyzwherez. Da neonz dey attachz iz sparkzin likez a trideo gun fu flickz, A goutz O' da neon evenz catchz a sparkin Mitsuhama 6431-A near da dazh andz flarez inta a eriez purplze flamez dat catches a poolz O' oilz leavzin a sicklyz trailz O' firez alongz da floorz.

Most O' da gangerz turnz ta lookz atz da crazh den Kolibriz pullz da trigerz on dat riflez. Itz barkz notz da smoothz electronic whinez O stickerz Nz shakez, norz da woomp woomp thud soundz O gelz roundz. Nah diz waz da reportz O' live firez, andz ifz Iz hadz anyz doubtz da ganger explodinz inta gobz O' meat and vizcera allz ova da place. Der wazn't much doubtz dat da guyz waz deadzo whenz whatz waz leftz O' em crumpledz ta da floorz.

Diz waz badz, itz wazntz likelyz dat wez couldz O' talkz ourz wayz pazt diz. Butz Iz waz kindaz hopinz Iz couldz workz outz a race fo TorgOz fredomez. Been too longz since Iz smokez sum pozerz. Butz chancez diz ended anywayz but boomztickz waz nil nowz. Iz meanz youz couldz seez da angerz on da gangerz facez, likez itz waz an AR iconz. Dey drewz der gunz at Kolibriz andz I hearz sum chantzin in Spanizh. Dat waz whenz Dialz Upz gotz inta da lightz andz plunged da garagez inta darknezz. Nowz wazn'tz totallz darkz, Whatz moonzlightz dat madez it throughz da smogz an acidz rain waz filterinz throughz da brokenz skyzlightz, andz der waz da sparkz and smallz firez fo da crushed car, zo wez waz zeeinz juzt finez wit da lowz lightz andz da thermozgraphz butz da gangerz waz dizadvantagez.

Dat null stopz dem fromz zhootinz dough...

Zome piztolz openz up andz streakz rightz pazt Tankz andz a fewz catchez Kolibriz in da chezt. Nowz Iz zeez um twiztz awayz andz da armorz vezt seemz ta havez ztoped mozt O' itz. Ztill Kolibriz iz hurtz andz diz iz lookzin badz. Gunnz be badz fo myz repz ifz sumonez getz geeked on der firzt runz, andz all diz waz, suppozed ta bez juzt changez a tirez.

Nowz I hearz a wordz. I meanz youze hearz chantzin inz churchz butz whenz a magez sayz dat finalz wordz dat forcez realityz ta sitz downz in da cornerz andz bringz sumthin fromz der ta herez, youze canz hearz itz. Dat wordz wellz itz juzt differentz. Youze canz hearz dem final wordz wit youze soulz notz juzt ya earz.

Wellz Iz hearz it andz diz magez iz null creativez andz wit da announcmentz O' fuego flamez roarz inz fromz elzewherez andz fillz da zhop. Nowz Iz zorryz boutz diz butz youze zee a magiked firezballz roarzin downz atz youze well youze juzt reactz. Iz clozed da doorz az fazt az Iz couldz! Zorryz Tankz andz Kolibri Iz knowz itz burnz. Butz Iz slamzez dat doorz clozed andz itz git warmz butz itz keptz da burnz out.

Whenz da roarz andz da screamzin diez downz Iz kickz da hotz doorz backz openz. Da rotorzdronze fliez inz andz Iz zee a scorchez Tankz and Kolibriz butz dey iz null worze fo wearz. Da rotorzdronze openz upz wit da radienz butz zince da zhotgunz iz dryz itz da mainz cannonz andz splatterz diz punkz wit live roundz. Da punk behindz em iz nowz inz myz sightz andz Iz unloadz Sally atz em. Iz expectzin da krackboomz az Iz showez dem howzmuchz bloodzhedz Sallyz can kickz. Butz Iz iz dizapointedz ta hearz da electronicz whinez of da stackz Nz shackz exitzin Sally! Youze zee da lazt runz Iz wentz onz waz ta getz da duckz fo Velvetzteenz andz dey waz bigz onz da nonz leathalz. Zo Iz loadedz da stickiez, andz whilez Iz cleandz Sally Iz stillz hadz dem in da chamberz. Diz punkz goez downz inz a electricalz kracklez likez a chumpz.

Iz lookz aroundz fo da magez ta linez upz anotherz shotz butz da tweakerz curlzed upz inz a ballz, vomitinz, andz bleedzinz fro da eyez anz earz. Dudez pullz a Hailz andz turnz itz upz ta elevenz. Remeberz ta tipz yaz aztralz bartendaz folkz.

Wellz TorgOz iz stillz tiedz ta da chairz wit doez trollz zip tiez (steelz cablez moztlyz) andz Mr Teaz jumpz upz fromz hiz craterz doze a flipz andz landz cuttzin TorgOz looze. Nowz TorgOz iz chillz andz willz tellz ya E' uzed a knifez, butz chipz truthz Iz sawez itz wit mez own eyez da dude uzed hiz hornz andz torez doze cabelz likez deyz waz ribbonz. I knowz evenz a latez nightz trideoz wouldznt expectz yaz ta believez sum thin likez dat, butz Iz tellz ya Iz sawz em dooz it! Den az wez hearzin footz ztepz O' da rezt O' da gangerz runninz ta da mainz roomz. Wez ruzh in ta grabz Torgz andz scoopedz upz hiz comlinkz andz pullz em out O' der. Cept fo Tank; Zeez whenz da bulletz startzed ta fliez E' ranz inz a straitghz linez downz da hallzwayz jumpz andz burztz throughz da doorz atz da endz O' dat hallz. Tankz knewz diz waz da serverz roomz wherez da techz headz waz handzin out connectzed ta da matrix. E' burztz throughz da doorz andz diz skinnyz littlez nerdz sittinz der nakedz covaed in pinkz bodyz paintz, wit trodez stickzin outz allz overz. E' lookz atz Tankz flyinz throughz shardz O' plywud andz nearzlyz wetz emzelf. Tankz doez a flex rightz outz O' a strongzmanz competionz andz layz downz da lawz. Inz noz uncertianz termz doez anyzonez touchz Torgz. Torgz iz protectez andz allz da gangz betta wize upz ta dat. Den Tankz juzt smilez andz da kidz sayz juzt takez whatzevaz youz wantz, Iz dun wantz no troublez.

Wez getz Torgz ta da van butz wez knowz dragzinz da cabbz itz null gunna outrunz dez Jackrabbitz.

Whilez wez speedzin awayz wez startz callzin ourz gangz and lawz contactz. Wez letzinz peoplze knowz Torgz iz safez andz ta bringz da hammerz downz on dez Jackrabbitz foolz. Nowz mozt peoplez wood thinkz diz notz needz, butz wez leftz leazt two bodiez bloodiedz and brokenz. Nowz Iz knowz whatz youze sayzin, whoz givez a damnz dez iz gutter punkz SINlez barrenz trazh.
