Masks 2

The Demon shook her head, shrugging.

"No matter. Not sure how you found us or what you're doing here, but we'll take the help," she said, looking to everyone. "For the record, I hate the idea of crawling through mutant-infested sewers too."

By this point, the resistance troops that had arrived with Candy and the Demon had finished unloading the arms, supplies, and explosives from the dropships. Their loads completely dropped off, the dropships began to power up their engines and ascend. As they went, a number of gigantic thorns shot out from the city foliage, soaring several miles and narrowly missing the dropships as they traveled away.

"Warning shots," the Demon said, glancing back towards the city. "We should probably get moving. Emily, do we have any options for cracking the walls?"

"Hi everybody!" Emily said over their resistance-assigned communicators (which Ezren, sadly, lacked). "Best option is probably a concentrated cruise missile strike. We can launch a barrage out of Nellis if the Omnicorp's missile defense systems are offline. I should let you all know what options are available, actually. We have jets and missiles operating out of Nellis Air Force Base near Vegas if you need air support. On the sea front, both Siren and Atom Rain are standing by to attack from that angle. We're also ferrying in a number of resistance heroes and troops, but right now you're the tip of the spear."

At the mention of Vegas, Folly smiled broadly beneath her mask.

"No harm in trying the missiles first. Fire a barrage at the eastern wall," the Demon told Emily. "If that doesn't work, Thereaea suggested explosives. Any weakspots?"

"Yeah! If you can plant three of those plasma charges under the eastern wall, it should produce a strong enough blast to make a breach. It'd be a pretty loud entry though," Emily told them all.

"Not like the stupid giant tree doesn't already know we're here," Gullgirl muttered.
