The Girls From Alcyone II: Vengeance

This Week: Seeking answers to her past, Sigrid explores a darkened warehouse, looking to confront the mysterious woman in green.

Sigrid reached out with all of her sensory nodes, but as much as her spine tingled she sensed nothing from the interior of the warehouse. A scattering of intermodal shipping containers littered the floor, the hundred-meter-long boxes lying open and empty. Above her, the giant cranes used for moving the containers hung silent and motionless. 

In the engineering complex she'd cursed the mercenary soldiers for walking into a such an obvious trap, and yet, here she was, openly inviting the same fate. But she hadn't come here to retreat, to run away. Whomever, whatever, was waiting for her, she was determined to confront them.

Just as they were eager to confront her.

The Girls From Alcyone II: Vengeance

This Week: Leta shows off her guns. No, really!

While Leta was mounting the last of her weapons to her harness, Sigrid spied something of interest; an unusual weapon clipped to her back.
   "May I…?"
   Leta unslung the ancient-looking rifle presenting it to Sigrid with a smirk. "Ma'am."
   The weapon turned out to be a short-barreled shot-gun, and very, very old, by the looks of it. The worn wooden grips were dark with age, smooth after decades of handling. The twin barrels looked to have been cut and filed down, too. Incredibly, it only fired a single shot, but Sigrid knew the shortened double-barrels would provide savage stopping power, capable of unleashing a devastating spread of pellets, obliterating anything in their path.
   "For crowd control," Leta explained. "These mercenary boys can be all hands, trust me."
