Neil had expected everything to turn to shit, but he didn't expect it to happen this fast. He had felt a few 'tings' on the back of his mech and as suddenly as he realized they were small arms fire, it stopped sprinkling and began to pour. "Alright this is a little much," he muttered under his breath as he began to redirect the MH-350's systems and undo the cargo latch, opening up and taking the Aestimobium inside the mech where it's safe while his back was still turned to the growing mob of attackers. He turned when he heard the tredds scraping against the floor of the plaza, and finally drank in the army and the newly arriving armor. 

Ironically enough, Sven had taken this time to disappear much like Saxon had earlier. While the Xenos on the other hand decided it was his time to make his debut, and a group of a dozen men who shot various lasbolts and traditionally kinetic firearms at Neil lost half their number in mere moments. Saxon had uncloaked his massive form and attacked from their flank, serrated blades of Xarconian steel protruded from his forearms as he literally butchered 4 men before they realized they were under attack. Neil still felt it wasn't enough. Sayeeda was already being suppressed from above. 

His weapons had been mechanically 'sheathed' to better grab the treasure. It would take a few moments to redirect the systems to unholster them again and set them up. He knew he didn't have the time. Even if the vehicles hadn't shown up, there were enough gang members here to get a few bullets into his cockpit before long. He felt a sudden surge of frustration at everything having to go wrong so quickly. His mind worked without him realizing it, the mech reaching down to grab a sufficiently large enough piece of rubble. He locked the hand-like claw onto the stone and turned the propulsion of the MH-350's right arm at full strength, something you would only ever normally use to shove large obstacles at high velocity. 

"Eat this, bitch." Neil spat, aiming on instinct and unleashing the energy of the mech's arm, launching the stone that probably weighed more than Neil's body weight flying like a bullet into the cockpit of one of the tractors. Needless to say the vehicle had lost its driver, though the machine still moved, turning as it did without someone to steer and ramming into 8 gangers, crushing them like so many twigs. 

That was when the explosion happened, Sayeeda's expert shot having detonated the Dart T Combat car, though Neil could only watch as the aforementioned warfare was shot at Sayeeda's perch, shattering the building below her and sending her flying into the air. As if on cue, Sven's voice was heard over the comm. "That explosion will give you time. Leave her and go." 

"Fuck you!"  

Neil had already shifted gears and sped the Mech toward where he calculated Sayeeda would fall. He knew he couldn't catch her gracefully, controlling a high powered and modified cargo mech. But he managed to just catch her by her stomach, only her legs bumping into the metal of her arm uncomfortably, but not so much as to worry Neil at the moment. He had the treasure and the Captain, they needed to get out of there. He pulled the arms in and had Sayeeda close to the cockpit as he sped out of there through one of the main roadways, killing an unfortunate ganger who had wandered into the wrong direction by simply running him over. 

"We'll rendezvous at the corner of Nicias." Neil replied over the comms and shut them off abruptly. On his rear camera, he saw the last tractor mowing over debris and in pursuit of him. It was about a 10 minute run before the tractor had finally lost track of the mech it had been chasing, the Ordellion Xenos with its tentacle-appendages wriggling back and forth already annoying its human companion in the passanger seat. 

"You lost him. Now you'll need to explain this to the boss." The man said, or would have if his window had not been torn open and a mech's arm didn't unload a small canister of its flamer ammunition into the tractor, igniting the skin of the passengers before they could even scream. Neil didn't like having to kill to indiscriminately, but he had set an unconscious Sayeeda down a block away and had to end the pursuit as quickly as he could. 

Once that was over with, he made his way back over to her and settled his mech into stand by mode, opening the cockpit with a 'hiss' and dropping out of it, lifting the woman's head up from the (relatively clean) pile of bagged waste he had left her sitting next to. "Captain?" he said. He patted her cheek hurriedly, pragmatism and worry intermingling. "Captain, come on. Don't do this to me." he breathed. "I know you like fucking with me but now is not the time..."
