Harbinger: Blake 2

> First things first you need to locate the two large herds
> A quick interview of locals confirms the two herds are moving in
> One is located in the local park the other is on the opposite end of the neighborhood in an empty retention pond
> The park has the 150 member herd
> Eating gardens and receiving food from kids and dumb locals
> They'll only grow through the upcoming spring
> Not to mention that they are recruiting and accosting local pet fluffies
> You'll need to attempt to recover the pets
> Secondary objective though
> The other fluffy herd is living in an empty retention pond a few blocks from the park
> The pond is rich with plant life and the fluffies eat well
> While a downpour would end them it hasn't and isn't projected to rain for weeks
> Assessment team did well spotting these two
> They would both probably break 500 fluffies given ideal conditions
> It doesn't get much more ideal than yuppie suburbanites and their kids who feed them
> And, if they meet and join they could break 1,250 fluffies
> A megaherd
> And, absolutely unacceptable

> Before you begin you inform the locals and police that you'll be using firearms
> Don't want anyone getting caught in the fire
> Even with a silencer it's still deafening
> Police officer arrives to oversee proceedings
> He blocks off the road near your RV and you climb onto the roof of the vehicle
> Ready your weapon
> Magazine loaded bolt readied you signal him
> He gives the all clear
> After a little scouting you know the smarty is a bright pink fluffy with a pink mane and horn
> A bit odd for a fluffy stallion smarty, but whatever
> "Smawty say sweepie noaw! Nuu fwuffy wakies duwwin big bwight! Too wawm fo fwuffies to pway an eat! Nappies till big bright go way."
> Good advice, but it makes your job easier
> The smarty is the last awake
> Just as he's finishing his rounds and begins to return to the fluff pile you draw a bead
> *Cccrack* the fluffies legs are torn to shreds
> In an instant his body bounces against the ground and flies back
> Back legs and most of the lower body missing
> "eeEEEEEEE! FWUFFY HUWTIES BIIIIIG! BIIIG BIIIIIIIG HUWTIES! HEWP! FWIENDS HEWP SMAWTIE!"
> Right on the money
> He bounces away from the herd and they shit themselves with fear at the gunshot
> Several scatter away with mares and foals
> "WUN FAMIWY WUN! BIG SCAWY NOISE!"
> The smarty is too busy screaming about the pain to effectively order his herd
> Attendants are leaving dams, stallions leave mares, even some foals try to scamper away
> Phase two, Chinese fire crackers
> Light a string and throw into the herd
> The shrinking and shitting pile is a good fifty feet away but it lands close enough
> *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG*
> "EEEE BIG NOISE SCAWY! WUN WUN! HEWP FWUFFY MUMMAH! HEWP WOWW! NEE SISSY FO WOWW!"
> Some dams are being rolled away others are left with the herd
> Dozens scatter in family groups or alone
> Most flee with eyes closed simply running blindly from the deafening explosions
> You fire into the dams next your gunfire now masked by firecrackers
> As a dam explodes from the round the shrill screams of the surviving terrified dams is even louder than the fireworks
> "MUMMAH HUWTY! MUMMAH NEE HEWP! MUMMAH NUU HUWTIES PWEEASE HEWP! HEWP! HE-"
> *Pop*
> Slimy foals scatter as the nearby dam who witnessed her friend explode fluffsplodes herself
> They chirp for help and wobble around but are drowned out in a cacophony of explosives
> Not a single fluffy notices the wiggling babies at their feet
> They are quickly suffocated by barely moving dams desperately attempting to scatter from the fray
> The herd is down to less than half its original size
> Looks like your secondary objective is achievable as well
> Most of the remaining fluffies are cowering covering their ears and crying for help
> Around 20 or so have collars on
> You get down from the van, the herd successfully scattered
> Smarty down, dams entering premature birth or fluffsploding, stallions and mares with their foals fleeing, and several fluffies trampled to death
> This herd is dispersed
> The officer looks on in awe
> The whole affair took less than three minutes, three rounds of .308, and a few strings of fire crackers
> You walk past him cap gun in hand
> Loud but more to deter than hurt
> Approaching the still screaming, shitting, pissing, and crying fray you open fire
> *Pap* *Pap* *Pap*
> Not nearly as loud as the fire crackers but it scares the already terrified fluffies even more
> "NUUUU NUU MOWE EAW HUWTIES! I SOWWY! HEWP! HEWP!"
> Each fluffie once again shits
> How this is possible eludes you but it keeps the collared fluffies pinned to the ground
> Ears covered by weggies and faces in the shit covered grass
> Breaking out the Drake special, zip ties, you hog tie each fluffy and move them to the side
> "EEEE! HEWP MUNSTA HAFF FWUFFY! NUU TAKE WEGGIES I SOWWY! I NUU WUN WAY! I GO HOME! I SOWWY! MISS MUMMAH! MISS DADDEH! HEWP! HEWP FWUFFY!"
> 16 pets are recovered all crying and screaming on their backs about taken weggies
> 3 unfortunately die of shock or fire cracker blasts you aren't sure
> For how death prone these things are it's an acceptable number
> The remaining thirty fluffies are the only remnants of the smarties herd left in sight
> They cower hugging one another watching as you hogtie their "Nuu fwiends"
> You fire another cap in their face and they too flee
> In a group, but they're no threat anymore
