The Bomb Run

Story so far

With the Semeru Dwarves on standby, Britney cues the run and Louis answers "Heigh ho, silver! Bombing now!" Every bomb aboard Party Planner arms at once, lighting the cabin; Carl concentrates and stamps Overclocked over each one. Floor panels slide open, freezing mist curls into the cabin, and the whole load drops in seconds — square No Disassemble shield-and-tech-busters first, then the heavier round Waffle Maker tubes.

The first detonations slap the invisible shield, followed by the thwum of several shields cracking open like an egg. The defenders' Flak spells are useless against gravity bombs, and Louis suspects they taxed their anti-air on the Reaver missiles. Then a green long-range death ray — Carl guesses a Synergy Towers emplacement with a war mage inside — misses by about a hundred feet and splashes across the invisible ceiling of the level like liquid lightning poured upside down. The ship angles away into the smoke and reports clear.

Role
