Kat's wild adventure!
Well, maybe not...
Somewhere downtown,
Dusk was a prelude to a far more devious darkness, a raider camp of sorts sat vigilantly over a small stretch of road. It seemed the closer to downtown she went, the more frustrating her journey was.
As she crept ever closer, the sounds of idiotic stories started to overwhelm her ears, "You see that girl yesterday? Yeah.. I got that."
"no way man, I tried to get with her."
Or even further, "alright, fifth deathclaw two nights ago. Dead by my rifle, this beauty right here."
"Proof." A gruff voice replied.
"you do not believe me?"
"No"
This was all shit to her ears but there was no sneaking past this.
Kat's form was perfect for stealth and she excelled at it. Silent steps gave way to a nearly invisible shadow. As she neared the first mongrel there was a deep breath, a sort of calm before the storm.
With a surge of excessive force, her right arm strangled the man while her left held his gasping mouth shut. She watched slowly as the Raider passed before dragging the lifeless body behind a wall.
There was a wide opening now, excellent field of view for her next operation. The sound of a silencer rolling into place on the barrel of her rifle would signal its start.
Kat rose the rifle slowly and aimed at the first Raider. The sound as she pulled the trigger was fainter than the shell casing that landed beside her.

That bastard never saw it coming.

Bodies began to drop rapidly with calculated precision but of course things were never easy. A metal clad warrior turned the corner and locked its gaze upon her.
Kat's eyes widened as the power armor brought a minigun to bear.
"Fuck!"
She dove on instinct, landing hard on the ground. By some miracle there was enough cover to survive indefinite barrages from that minigun, should the enemy stay where he was.
Kat rolled onto her back and took a deep breath. Her panicked instinct died down and was replaced with deadly focus. Her eyes shifted left and right to get an idea of her options. The gunner wasn't firing so she would have a few seconds to move before the gunner reacted. He was obviously no sniper.
With lightning speed, she ran for a large concrete barricade. It must have been luck indeed that she survived the buzzing roar of that minigun.
As she sat with her back against the barricade she could only feel disappointment at this point, knowing she was caught off guard like this. "Gotta get around this guy." She muttered before slowly leaning over to see where her aggressor was.
He wasn't far and closed in fast, not giving her any real chance to breath. The only option was her armor, though the drain on her power core would be extreme with the hail of bullets. It was either that or be this bastards next gloating story for another time.
With a twist of a flat knob on her chest piece the armor began to heat up. It wasn't enough to be uncomfortable but it was very noticeable. It was time for action.
With her Railgun now readied and armor that was designed for this at the active, she rolled from cover into a crouching pose.
The buzzing from the gun was muffled by a strange sound of short lived zaps, the sound of rounds being deflected by the powerful magnets on her armor. There wasn't time to linger though, this gun was chewing up her power cores energy quick.
Kat's eyes seemed to glaze over as she focused through the scope of the rifle. A shallow breath followed by the pull of the trigger landed a perfect shot.. Right through the weakest point on her enemy's helmet, the visor.
As if the world stopped in an instant, the minigun fell to the ground followed by a gentle clanks of the power armor shutting down. She didn't move from her pose but rather waited for a moment to see if anyone had heard the shattering blast of her mighty rifle.
A few moments passed before she lowered the rifle but she left her magnetic armor active. In her current state, no one would sneak up on her without serious consequence.
Kat just hoped the battle was over..
