Part 444: King of the Pirates - Turn 14

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 14

Thomas Gunn’s first memory was the utter contempt and hatred he had for his own name. He’d never seen a real Tommy Gun of course, but bootleg gangster holodramas had always been dirt-common in Lyran space where the polite brutality of monstrous Mafia caricatures was put on display in an effort to warn Lyran criminals away from organizing along the same lines as the Combine’s yakuza. The dramas had only mixed success, but the Commonwealth’s underworld had never congealed as an interstellar organization. Gangs rose on any world downtrodden enough to support them and typically fell as soon as they caught LOKI’s attention.

“Tell me again,” he growled into his headset as another string of ammo-belts ran dry. The Quickdraw staggered and fell, its hip jammed by a lucky hit. It exploded a moment later as the impact jarred its SRM ammo bin, scattering parts and shrapnel across the wide Tortuga streets. “Tell me again how Machineguns are just doorstops, and I’m wasting my time on them.”
