Steel Waste Chapter 559
Advertisement
Tamia sneaks up to the treeline looking over the clearing of the NCR encampment... Boone had already clambered up a big tree to get a better observation point, and Josie was doing god knows what with those explosives...
She glances down at the sack Josie had handed her and grins despite herself, it was dense with C4, and she'd been asked to place it around the encampment as she snuck in. She was aware that Josie had already scattered a shit ton of Plasma mines around the area Boone had set up, hopefully, they wouldn't destroy too much of the landscape... After all, not many places in the Mojave are as beautiful as this.
Regardless, she now had a mission to complete, one she wasn't really trained for, but that could be ignored for now... She activates the Stealthboy and slowly makes her way over to the NCR encampment, making sure to stay on the path to prevent her footsteps from being spotted in the snow.
She easily avoids the few patrolling teams who don't notice anything wrong and slips towards the first fortification... The watchtower. Without much effort, she sticks some C4 to the inside of one of the struts holding it up. If the strut was knocked out it'd probably cause the tower to fall over right onto a group of military tents... Nice.
Continuing, she next enters some sort of cabin that had smoke billowing out of a chimney... It's a dining facility of some sort, a few NCR troopers eating and chatting while sipping warm coffee. Cautiously, she sneaks over and sticks the C4 to the underside of the table holding the coffee machine... By the time anyone noticed it was there, it'd already been too late.
She almost brushes past someone as she leaves the cabin, but quickly recovers and staggers around them... If they were more perceptive, they'd have heard her small gasp and panicked footsteps.

Tamia continues to rig other high population or important locations around the encampment, fortunately without being caught... Now, however, it is finally time for her to capture some scientists. She should have enough energy in her Stealthboy to kidnap some eggheads and get out, but, that presents its own problem in itself... The Stealthboy wouldn't render the scientists invisible, so it'd essentially be her sprinting out with them on her shoulders. Worst things come to worst, she could use them as meatshields.
The only actual obstacle to reaching the scientists was the group of soldiers wearing power armour standing outside its entrance... There were around six of them in total, all of which were either wielding miniguns, Anti-Material rifles, or Supersledge hammers.
Luckily for her though, they were still completely unaware of her presence... She activates her Ultra Chainsword and charges them, easily swinging it at the necks of the first two closest soldiers, their heads quickly tumble from their necks as the others watch in shock, seemingly unable to comprehend what'd just happened.
Tamia continues though and manages to kill two more before the two remaining men finally recognize the threat to their lives. The first swings his Supersledge randomly in the air, almost actually hitting Tamia with it, while the other begins revving up his Minigun...
Tamia wasn't waiting for him to alert the rest of the base though, slipping past the Supersledge wielder and leaping straight at the other guy. Stabbing her Ultra Chainsword straight through his chestplate.
*SCCccreeeeeeee!*
The sound of squealing metal rings out as the energy blade cuts into the soldier's heart, the man is dead before he could even get his first shot off, leaving the single man with the Supersledge... Of course, the man's body language says it all... He's about to shit himself in fear and was stuck between fleeing and randomly attacking in all directions to see if he could get a hit on his invisible attacker.

Eventually, he chooses the former, but by the time he decides, it's already too late. Tamia cuts down against his helmet, getting some resistance from the metal for a moment before the energy blade cuts through, liquifying the man's brain. He crumples heavily to the floor as Tamia deactivates her weapon, "Your armour is trash." she spits as she glances towards the tent entrance.
She didn't know how long she'd have until the next patrol came around, so it was probably best to do this as quickly as possible. She dashes through the tent flaps, her movement catching the attention of the three scientists inside who were currently dissecting a Supermutant.
"W-what was that?!" the woman timidly asks.
One of the men push their glasses to the bridge of their nose, "Not sure, but it probably has something to do with that sound occurring outsi-*GHUK!*" his sentence is cut off as he's bashed on the back of the head by the invisible Tamia, faceplanting on the floor in front of the other two scientists.
"I can only take two of you, so, who's the least important out of the three of you? And be quick with this, I don't want to waste time killing all of you." she growls, her voice sounding even more menacing with her invisibility still active.
The girl cowers but retains enough mental capacity to point a finger at the unconscious man, the other guy choosing differently and pointing at her instead...
"W-what? Y-you fuckin-!*Guk!*" she starts but is knocked unconscious. Tamia then proceeds to cut the head off of the last remaining guy who'd pointed at the woman. The fact he hadn't chosen the easy unconscious target to vote out made it likely that he'd be resistant to interrogation. After killing them, Tamia throws each of them over her shoulders and sticks her head out of the tent, just in time for the next patrol to appear and spot the corpses.
"W-what the fuck is this!?" the squad leader asks, completely dumbfounded before he takes up his radio and starts reporting, "Alert! We've discovered-"
*~It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip~*
...
"Sarge, where's that coming from!?
