Aiko chuckled. "Indeed you match your suited roles. Have you ever heard of color guard?" Seeing the blank stares, she continued, "There are three jobs within the color guard. Flag, rifle, and saber. Or in our case, explosions, guns, and knives. A good color guard can perfect one. A great color guard can do all three." She gave a grin. "I am a great color guard member. I mostly work with saber, but rifle and flag are good too."

"Oh yes," said Shae, brightening up. "Here are my drums."
He drew his revolvers with a flourish, spinning them on his fingers and reholstering them.

"No, that's no drum." He pulled a chain of grenades from a strap within his many-layered coat. "This is a drum."

"Hmm. Snare line, perhaps," she told Shae. She was getting a lot more comfortable around these two. "As for you, Cado, the drums you have currently are the tenors. A drum with multiple drum heads at different pitches." She was happy to be working with such nice men. Well, men who'd killed and would kill and seemed slightly crazy (though she had her own craziness too), but nice.

Cado chuckled, returning the grenade chain to its place within the folds of his clothing. "What about this one? Incendiary," he replied, a grenade falling into his right hand from his sleeve."

"That would be part of the bass line in the percussion instruments. The drummers are still out on the field and have the lowest pitch of the drums, but they are incredible to watch play." She pulled out her knife and started to twirl it around her finger. "Any other instruments you want me to name?"

"My anti-tank buddy," Cado asked unhesitatingly, a wild grin on his face, indicating the long, thin launcher slung on his back.

Alyx didn't seem to be paying attention to them; she seemed off in her own world, a little off-whack. They were having a nice chat, driving along
everything was black
the car was upsidedown and on fire. Aiko discovered that part of her forehead was missing all the skin on it, and the steel and plastic underneath had been exposed. Cado felt suspiciously like his shoulder had dislocated, and Marcus - his stomach was bleeding from a minor cut.
Alyx wasn't in the car. The civilian who had been driving them was missing his head and right arm and right shoulder and right ribcage and -
ew.

"********!" Cado yelled, holding his shoulder. He mentally cued a dose of painkillers, and the pounding in his shoulder disappeared. "What the ******** just happened?" he screamed, bracing his arm against the side of the car. He grunted, cued another dose of painkillers, and threw his body into the arm, forcing it back into its socket. "Aghghh, should've used more painkillers," he complained quietly to nobody in particular.

Shae pulled himself from the wreck with nary a grunt and stretched out on the ground. "Cado!" he groaned. "Come wrap this up for me."
He lifted his shirt to reveal the cut.

Aiko crawled out from side of the car and felt her head. ".....this isn't good..." While the words were mild, she was furious. She grabbed at the side of her head as she looked at the other two. "How badly did you two get hurt?" She felt blood trickle down her head, but thanks to the upgrades, she didn't feel any pain.

Outside the car there were sounds of a warzone. Bullets pinged off the car on the far side from where Aiko was, and something shattered the last bit of glass in the car that wasn't shattered. They had to get out, it was getting hotter.
It appeared they were in a city street, and they could see vehicles running by with Agents gunning down other Agents. There were plenty up in the windows, many stories above them, as well. It was hard to tell who they were or if there would be more fire directed at the Bullfrog Agents soon. They needed better cover.

Shae activated his painkillers for the first time and sighed. "That's nice," he said, forcing himself to his feet. He gave a hand to Aiko, then helped Cado a bit. "Let's get some cover."
He led the way to the nearest building. Even before being an Agent, he was good at ignoring his pain to get others to safety.
