Disruptorss Operation In Lauriea 240926
In a gritty tale of rebellion and survival, the Disruptors, a group determined to dismantle the unjust defenses of slavers, engage in a harrowing mission near Lauriea. Sparks fly and steel clashes in the dead of night as Emmanuel, wielding his trusty rifle, and Korina, with her supernatural agility and command over light, lead their band against the Golden City loyalists. The battlefield, a chaotic nightmare under the shroud of darkness, becomes alive with ethereal butterflies of pure light, missiles of multihued energies, and the ferocious leaps of a juvenile dire-cat. The Disruptors, though faced with a relentless onslaught of arrows that whistle past them harmlessly, persevere with their eyes set on disabling the slavers' defenses.
As the battle rages, Ash, with a mix of determination and disdain, works meticulously on the magical wards to protect the slavers' defenses, a task that weighs heavily on their conscience. Meanwhile, Korina, enduring injury upon injury from passing loyalists' blades, stands staunchly by Ash, deflecting arrows with a dance of prismatic energy. Novel, too, takes significant risks, navigating the battlefield with his blade, only barely missing enemy strikes. The climax of the conflict sees an explosive drone strike, strategic tear gas deployment, and a spectrum of magic from Korina that paralyzes her foes with dazzling light. Eventually, despite the wounds, close calls, and the ethical turmoil of their mission, the Disruptors claim victory, symbolizing a significant yet somber win against the formidable defenses of their adversaries.

Mission: Get to the designated site and continue working to disable or protect the slavers defences until the process is complete.
With an attack on the Disruptors from those who control the Golden City due to their work with the Lost, the disrupting rebels have doubled-down on this course of action, taking it as a sign that theyre ruffling the right feathers.
With information gleaned from the enforcer, Anemone, the Disruptors are preparing an ambush against a hidden encampment of Golden City loyalists, intending to free the slaves theyre holding there.
The attempt begins with a weakening of their defences, through a nightmare operation, with a ground force of the Lost and Disruptors waiting to take advantage of this weakness should the operation prove successful.
