4-13 Dark Days in Denver (remix)

Pain. Pain is the great equalizer, the secret to life. From the time I was a boy, I learned to always inflict pain faster than my opponent, to never let pain guide my decisions, and always harness. The pain for my own strength. The Great Quake brought misery and death to a countless number of people, but it made me a god ruler of my domain. The greatest bounty hunter. Do you ever live? No one, No one dared run from TJ. Swinson except one. They call her the lone survivor, the savior of the refugees, But she is my greatest bounty ever. This is life on the changing Earth stands from all, sir. Those cloaks are working like magic. The Old Brewery, Museum and University are securing Golden We took them completely off guard. Excellent. Thank you Lady Dolores for the wonderful tech. I'm concerned about the northern squad headed for the power plant. The snipers were heavily fortified along Highway seventy six. Once we secure Highway seventy we'll control downtown. Then we can reinforce them. They're focusing on our heavy artillery since they can't find the infantry it's leaving them exposed, but. The debris is thick. It's hard to move in there. Sir. We can't send in crews to clear the route though we're sitting ducks. It's going to extend our timeline. Stevens. Yes, sir, Radio Nickelton tell them to push hard. We need a distraction. Yes, sir, Gunny, this is command one. We need you to draw attention towards Sinti chriss is. What's going on here. We've run into a large group of FEDS help bent on holding their position. It's in that shopping complex ahead. What's the plan, sir. There's no superior position to take them out from. It's going to take us sometime, sir, time. We don't have vergess. Needs a distraction. We've part of the force should stay here and take care of them, and part of the force should press on. It's a valid plan, Gunny. Who's staying and who's going. Take Cassidy, Philip, Ned and Eli. We'll stay to mop up this mess. Sounds good. Patrick will see you in Centennial, Darren. I need you to direct those forces. We need six groups. I'll get them moving. Were punching alone in there, lining sir, keep going forward. Everyone, hold. The streets of South wad. Yeah. I thought it was a nice place to live at one time. Pushed forward through the parking lot. Keep your hands up. There could be I mean anywhere. Or watch out a Google go. Stay Frosty, holy ship. Do you need a hand. That's just sick, Kyle. Keep moving, guys. We need to reach those doors in three seconds. Google go, Yeah, get. Darn Get that shield team over here. Gunners, mind up, mind them, give them cover. Yes, sir, wish forward, stay together, any cover fire I got you. Pusham, don't hurt us. We're not here to hurt you. What are you doing here? They were taking us to Mexico to be sold with the flooding. They held us here until we could get through to the south again. We have people that any medical attention. We'll get you taken care of. Nikola. I get these people to my wife at the med center. Aren't you Erica Warner? Yes, sir, I am good. We want a fight with you. We could use the help. Bennett. Get your group together and report to this man here. He'll make sure you have a ways. We're clear, Gunny, we have secured the facility were hating. Her asses handed us. I need a media back up. We're on the way. Come on, Erica. We need to rally our forces to them. Go give them some backup. Let's do it an. It's all or nothing. Any sign of air traffic, no, sir, They're oil reserves are low. Dixon's been cutting the supply, sir. We have reinforcements from the University moving south down Highway eighty five. They're going to try to cut off our forces in Littleton. Are they Northern Soldiers? I think so, sir. Send the team from Littleton and try to catch them the Sheridan use the T shirt guns. You think lasting the pamphlets all over them is going to work. They deserve a chance of freedom. Once they know they can shut off the kill switches, they may change their mind about fighting. It's worth the shut I'll inform the squads. Where's can the team they split off Bennett's team the distraction words, sir, But they're pinned in at the Centennial Airport. If the FEDS send reinforcements east down four seventy, they're screwed, sir. Let's make sure we make the efforts worth it them. Let's push the artillery forward. I want to split that force in two.

He wants you to send out the propaganda team with the T shirt guns. Yep. We can't save them all, but we could use more fighters. That's the truth. Aren't we going to breach the city with them about it? No, I'm not taking you in, but we could get surrounded during the night. Come on, what is that's the place? It was a shopping mall, but it's been fortified since then. We need to stop any reinforcements coming down the twenty fifth. The militia should be cutting off the reinforcements by now. How are they going to read pamphlets of the dark. Not our problem, Cupcake. This job is to stay ready and hold this line. We don't want any of them retreating south. We have too much civilian infrastructure. There, Yes, sir, good answer. I need to check in with Darren. Stay here, eat a rashuvar. Okay, there's a. Perfect spot to watch from here, Vince. They're going to run right by here on the retreat. Why don't you take a break and eat something? Put these on here again? Oh man, Bennett, I can't breathe. In the thing.

No, they're okay, though that has changed the situation. Reinforcements from Littleton helped them. We take downtown another aftershock has gone in. Well, I guess that's one way to take care of them. Let's dig in help them. The light. Is that ash from the fire on our sleeping bags. I don't know, bro, it's trippy. And look at the sun. Have you ever seen anything like that?

How about that group of punks over there? Good point? What happened here? Think about it. Most of the honorable people are out fighting the fence with the militia or the Marks. The cities have been left to the criminals. Is this what we're fighting for? It's falling apart. I don't know. All I know is my dad is riding away in a federal prison. He believed in the Mark cause what can all have? We need a pass for a vehicle we're transporting refugees young for that the handle it will pay ass we board. We don't have any tron sports available for fog dice. I guess that will have to do. That. No, you lost your spuck. That now you stuggle to let go. M bad Now is ug? You know? Five days? What are we gonna do? You can't just point here that long. If it was just thought, I bet we could have gotten across Quaker. Yeah, but how will we get into the central region without jasper. We'll get a drink before we heading back. Sounds good, bro, But do you men like a beer or misty? We'll have a couple of beers. Ma'am, such nice man. It's hard to come these days.
