Map: Badwater Basin. Payload.

BLU operations in the area have met with horrific resistance from RED of late. Steps, as they say, had to be taken. When the intelligence reports last filched from under RED's nose indicated the RED team had concentrated vast quantities of infrastructure in a single location accessible by rail from an old, forgotten BLU listening post...

Well. Who are the BLU field operatives to ignore an opportunity dropped in their lap?

Time for some serious mayhem.

Ohhh crap.

Alyx breaks into a dead run, turning back over her shoulder to fire in the pyro's general direction.

Crud, no sense in wasting ammunition on a retreat she can't catch up to. Didn't look like she hit, either.

But on the other hand, it looks like she's managed to avoid this shot (mostly) and make most of her trek. She goes back to her original plan of reaching the ledge in order to set up for an ambush.

Unfortunately, Alyx is heading for the next ledge over. And as soon as she gets there, she swaps the scattergun for the pistol and starts firing on the approaching pyro, taking more care in her aim this time.

Mia keeps on the move, aiming to circle around Alyx with the fire.

But Alyx is a better shot and faster...

When you're wielding a flamethrower, you don't need to be fast or accurate. As evidenced by the fact that the back of Alyx's shirt has just caught on fire.

"FUCK!" she screams, diving for the ground and rolling in hopes of smothering the flames.

If Mia were the type to laugh evilly, this would be the perfect time. But she's not and she's hit her target.

Hmm, no water, no Medics...better to jump down and finish the job.

"Sorry about this; it's honestly nothing personal," she mumbles through her mask.

Though all Alyx might here is burning.

Re: LET THE MAYHEM COMMENCE.

[vance_prime]

And that's all she feels, too. Burning, spreading all over her body...

And then, suddenly, it stops.

Hesitantly, Alyx opens one eye, then the other. She's back in the locker room where she started. Her clothes are intact, and there's no sign of any burns on her body.

"...the fuck?"

She recovers quickly, however. Regardless of how, she's alive and uninjured. And once she's resupplied, that psycho with the flamethrower is going down.
