It all started easy and slow. When French Conquerors asked if i can help in their noobot run none of us could foresee how it all will end...
As i had the highest defense skills I took the job of carrying the noobot through the Labyrinth of Death, the courier's job.
Already in "Bear's Den" we meet the first green dot, somebody's waiting for us with few bears and wolfs
It's Syava from Highlanders. He dies fast, but as revival is close he is soon again on our trail. So he has to go back to start once again.
Everything on our way dies fast and easy, the mood is high. The noobot suddenly speaks up: "u guyz rock :) ...how long u play?" ..
It's the calm before the st0rm - the word about our location and direction of movement has already got out.
At Main/East crossroad 2 more green dots appear on the radar: Snuffy (Pleasure and Power) and Mirror (NAP). Good for us, Mirror joins up with our team.
We meet St0rm (Shadow Corpse) near the lake, and pretty soon we lose our 1st team member, Windslow. We try to take down St0rm, but he is not easy to kill. No time to waste, the clock is ticking, so we give up and keep going.
In the valley NE from the lake i succeed in making 75 damage hit with my Akinakes Dak. St0rm's not ready for that, so he scores a free trip to the nearest revival - which at that point, unfortunately, is ahead of us.
Mirror follows, to clear the road and keep St0rm busy, but i can't follow - the courier has to go all the way on foot.
A moment of peace, only me and my soc mate Axle (Irken Invaders). I look at the coords, and at the clock.. and then i realize i'm in trouble. We had wasted too many time, it's almost impossible to make it from here to the noobot pad in time.
From that moment on i'm going at full speed, not doing anything but drinking the Red bears, and dragging everything i meet on the road after me. Soon the radar shows i have a long red tail.
The lines pop up in chat:
2010-08-06 20:46:07 [T] Mirror Fair: killed him
2010-08-06 20:46:32 [T] Mirror Fair: where are you?
2010-08-06 20:46:43 [T] Fifth: N from revival
2010-08-06 20:46:50 [T] Mirror Fair: kk
2010-08-06 20:46:57 [T] Fifth: damn, 5 min left
By the time i reach the others near the NE outpost, Shadow Corpse has got enforcements, i can see SFF, and St0rm has revived again too. Mirror keeps them busy and i rush past them like an express train.
When i see the noobot pad over the last valley i know already i will not make it.. the time runs out when i reach the last plateau. Silent "explosion" of the Dark matter, damage 370 points, blood, i'm falling down.. the last thing i see is St0rm running up to me and looking at my corpse.
We had won all the battles, but lost the war..
Well, at least now i know how exactly it explodes!
