" I'm pretty sure your targets will be happy to come to you without my help," Solaria said. The Sentinel made an odd half step, before walking backwards a few paces. " Okay, yeah, that's a wall there," Solaria whispered to herself. At the end of the street, a warbike tore around the corner, tires kicking up smoke as they fought for traction for a second before catching. On the back of the bike, an ork half stood, raising a long, tube shaped weapon to it's massive shoulder.

Mir took half a breath and aimed carefully. If he missed they'd die. Well... they'd die assuming the ork's rockit launcher functioned properly, he loaded it with a krak missile, had it pointing the right way, and he showed exceptional aim for an ork. Regardless, weirder things had happened and he wasn't taking chances. When he pulled the trigger the lasbolt passed through the bike's handlebars and right into its engine. The warbike exploded in a brilliant fireball sending bike and ork parts ricocheting through the alley.

Solaria's excited whoop turned into a scream as the saurian came stomping around the corner, giving a roar to challenge the boom of the exploding bike. It looked down at the walker with it's one good eye, stalking forward as Solaria threw the machine full in reverse.

"Back up, backup, BackUpBACKUP!" Mir screams as he fires a shot. Solaria's quick maneuvering threw off his aim though and the lasbolt passed over the saurian's shoulder.

" GEE, YA THINK?" Solaria screamed back. The saurian's long stride quickly outpaced the sentinel's backwards speed, and it's great jaws snapped shut with a crack as loud as any gunshot, missing by less than a meter as Solaria made the walker dance sideways. Droplets of drool splattered over the windshield, flung by the rapid closing of the great mouth.

"AAAAHHH!!!!" Mir yelled. He didn't bother to aim, the snapping jaws so close that he reflexively pulled the trigger. The first shot punching a hole in the beasts chest. Solaria's jerky movements yanked the walker back and Mir's second shot blasted between it's jaws and up into the roof of its mouth.

The first shot caused the saurian to stagger, a feeble roar escaping as it's punctured lungs fought to work. The second shot caused it's head to explode, raining a torrant of brains and blood all over the sentinel, obscuring all sight for several seconds until Solaria, with a shaking hand, flipped on the wipers, clearing a small patch of semi-clear glass through the gore. She then put her head between her knees, and vomited. Through his seat, Mir felt the carnisaur's huge body hit the ground.

Mir pried his hand off the weapon joystick with some effort, his fingers were dug deep into the synthleather. "I think we need to find a hose."

" Uh huh..." came Solaria's somewhat weak reply, her voice muffled from her bent over position. Pulling herself upright and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she adds " For now, how about a hiding spot?"

"Yeah, the streets are striking me as all that safe. Chaos Space Marines, Orks, and whatever the frak that thing was. This place is just full of wonderful people."

With Solaria back in control of the sentinel, the pair had a much easier time of avoiding the orks, who seemed to be engaged in hit n run raids against several other targets besides the walker, though neither Mir or Solaria saw anyone else. The constant sound of gun fire and rocket explosions however echoed around them, and the red blurs of warbikes passing down cross streets assured them the xenos where still around.

They finally came across a multi-level parking garage, and Solaria ducked the sentinel into it, scrapping the roof a bit in the process. " Do we go up, or stay on the ground floor?"

"Lets head up. We'll park this thing on the level below the roof then go up on foot for a look around. I want to see what we can find around here."

The trip up was painfully slow, the low roof of the garage forcing the sentinel down as low as it could crawl, with tiny, jerky steps. Even still the roof of the walker met the garage roof several times with ringing clangs that made Solaria wince nervously, even with the racket the orks were making outside. When they reached the second highest level, she let out a weary sigh and slumped down in her seat.

Mir unbuckled himself and got ready to debark. "How you doing sugar? Having a good time?"

Solaria didn't bother to open her eyes from where she was nearly passed out in her seat, merely raised a hand, and a single finger, in responce.
