[Durability/Electricity/Limit]

Maybe if the nanosuit hadn’t been so badly damaged
Dane would have heard their comms. If Chino hadn’t
been so badly hurt, if both of them had been alert, then
maybe they would have heard them moving around
beneath them.
They had been pinpointed by thermographics. The
fire hadn’t helped.

***

The floor of the open plan office exploded in a circle
around Dane and Chino. They fell through to the floor
below them. The impact made Chino scream as multiple
wounds were badly jarred and he started to piss
blood again. The campfire exploded in a shower of
sparks.
Dane was moving. Disappearing, becoming transparent,
fading into the background. Then he was wreathed
in lighting. Electrostatically charged pellets fired from
K-Volt weapons stuck to Lazy Dane’s suit. The pellets
dropped the cloak, making him visible. More and more
of the pellets stuck to him. The voltage he was receiving
grew and grew. The damaged suit’s systems were
overloaded. They started shutting down. The pellets
were electrocuting Dane as he tried to move. There
were four members of the CELL spec ops armed with
K-volts. They continued laying on the fire.
Dane looked like he was made of electricity as he
stood up. Members of the spec ops team took a step
back. 

...

‘Reloading,’ the first K-Volt gunner said as he ran
out of pellets. There was only a hint of panic in the
man’s voice. He swapped out the magazine as the next,
and then the next gunner, ran out of pellets as well.
Dane took a step forwards.
Reloaded, they started firing again. Dane took
another step forwards through the electricity crackling
all around him and then toppled over.
‘Don’t stop firing, the Commander ordered.’ They
didn’t.
