"If I was feeling suicidal I'd take a run at the albino scorpion with my knife and try to take its eyes out but even if I wasn't torn apart by the pincers the tail would probably rip right through me." Night Owl swore and sent more useless bullets rattling into the albino scorpions carapace.

"If we had explosives, I could suicide knife it like I did to the deathclaw!" shouted Alex. "Try and hit the legs! Slow the thing down!" he shouted before unloading some lasers into the scorpions around everyone. "Combine all your firepower into the tails to stop the sting and then combine your firepower to the legs to slow it down."

Demeter paused. "That's ok... Does someone want to volunteer their sniper rifle? Or themselves? It can still work, just riskier."

"well if sure if you shove my AMR down its throat and fire a few times it'll die."

He said as he killed one of the smaller scorpion

"It's similar to that method." Demeter looked around and she ran next to a nearby radscorpion corpse. "We need to find scorpions who haven't suffered any damage in the area right behind their head, any who have head shots probably won't work. We need to get a few of the corpses and take them back a bit, it'll take just a little bit of time but we've stirred up the nest. We need to give it a chance to calm down." Demeter ran and grabbed a scorpion she had killed by missing the area on purpose, dragging it back a few yards. She would be covered if the group decided to keep fighting the scorpions to start the plan, and could explain the plan to a volunteer if any came up. She was fully prepared to do the dangerous part herself however, but she or the volunteer would need help.

Low AGL or slow runners would not be wise. I forget how power armor affects this. Sneak could help but it's not necessary. Also if you're just volunteering your gun, you'll get it back so don't worry :)

Also my captcha literally has arabic script. What. the. Fuck?

" If you neeed a weapon,would my Assault Carbine be any use to you? It certainly isn't doing much good against these scorpions at the moment, I'm just wasting bullets on that monster." Night Owl shook his head and lowered his weapon, thinking desperately of someway he could injure the albino scorpion without getting himself killed in the attempt.

Demeter mused for a second, "Yeah, that would actually be great." Demeter pulled out her combat knife and began to carefully pry of plates of carapace of the carcass in front of her revealing the soft tissue beneath and carefully began to cut away layers of muscle. "I may need about two more radscorpions without any damage to the head or dorsal area." Her face scrunched in concentration.

Ethan grabbed one of the more intact rad scorpions that was closer by and dragged it away, over to Demeter. The albino kept its posturing up, but the team had gone over the ridge and it seemed reluctant to follow, clearly it was protecting its territory and was not willing to leave the bounds of the ravine. But it patrolled the edges of the pit, keeping its eyes on the movement of the team.

As Ethan dropped the dead insect by the busily working Demeter he saw her activities, nearly elbow deep in the muscle tissue of the mutated insect.

"well, hell you seem to be the only one with a plan, you need someone for a stupid charge, I'm your man."

Demeter carefully pulled out an organ and gently placed it next to her and began fishing around for another. "It's a bit more than just a stupid charge. You'll have to get a bit messy." She pulled out a different organ. She began to cut out the stomach. "Alright, prepare to have your mind blown with scavenger ingenuity. So this these organs are glands used to secrete hormones, especially during mating seasons. We're going to employ a little chemical camouflage and provocation." She slipped a canteen out from her boot. She stabbed her knife deep into the organ and pulled it out, quickly holding the seeping slit over the opening of the bottle. "Ethan, can you squeeze the slime out of this into my canteen? Be careful, we need as much as possible so don't spill any." She the pulled out the radscorpions stomach. She tied one end off and turned it upside down away from herself and others, letting the digestive juices pour out. "Ugh," Demeter groaned as the scorpions dinner contents flooded onto the ground. "I forgot how much this stinks." Demeter picked up the other organ she removed and stabbed it in a similar fashion to the other one. Being extremely careful to not get any of the juice on herself and that it all flowed into the stomach. As soon as it was drained she began cutting into the second scorpion to repeat the procedure.

Having hung back in a good position, Chaz noticed the huge beast crawling toward the group, measuring at least 15 feet. The group were spilling bullets into its carapace, but to no avail. Through his scope, Chaz noticed Demeter cutting up some smaller scorpions. Having no idea what she was doing, he assumed that it was important, especially as it took a gun out of the fight.
With this in mind, Chaz resolved to cover her as best he could, glad that his ability to sneak was pretty good. Skirting around the combat area, he found a set of rocks to use as cover, and aimed his sight at Demeter's area, just in time for a small scorpion to crawl into view. Lining it up in his sights, Chaz discharged a round, hitting square in the scorpion's head, killing it outright. Chaz let out his breath, and scanned the immediate area. He made a mental note to always carry some frags.

sorry about the absence, work sprung a load of shifts on me...

Demeter finished getting the chemical from the second scorpion and decided it would be enough. She motioned Ethan over.

"Alright, this is going to smell but you can shower afterwards." She took her canteen and dumped the extracted chemicals all over Ethan and began to rub it in making sure it absorbed in his clothes and hair. "Radscorpions can tell members of their nest from others from a chemical mark in each scorpion that matches the queens. This is this nests mark, it'll expire outside of a live scorp pretty quickly so you need to be quick. Both the queen and the albino should ignore you until you show aggression." Demeter picked up the repurposed stomach. "This is filled with the same chemical, but we can alter it to trick the queen into thinking albino is from a different nest, since nearly all the guards are dead it will provoke her to attack the albino, we can focus fire on the albino as well causing it to be distracted enough to pull of the finishing move without too much fuss." Demeter began to take off a glove "The best part is altering the hormone is pretty simple, you just need to add some alien biological chemicals to it. If it's not an exact match the nest's mark it will provide the result wee need" As she said this she took her knife and cut a slit in her hand, cupping the blood and feeding it into the stomach. Unfortunately the stomach wasn't full enough, first with a frown then with a grimace she stuck her finger down her throat. She filled the stomach with her own bile. She glared at Ethan "You owe me."

She tied off the stomach and handed it to him, "Now you just need to walk up and toss this onto the albino one. It's full enough so it should burst like a water balloon release the chemical, be careful not to get any on yourself or you'll get attacked as well if with the chemical mark." She handed him her combat knife "Take this and cut a deep slit in it's stomach, preferably between sections 3 to 7 on it's body." She handed him Night Owl's Assault Carbine. "Stick this as deep into the slit as you can and pull the trigger and release as much as a full clip and you can directly into the scorpion. The bullets should ricochet off the carapace tearing him up from the inside, and if you get him in the area I told you you'll shred his lungs. That way if the bullets don't do him in for some reason he'll drown in his own bodily fluids. And if we're lucky, he'll kill the queen for us before we finish him off, but we shouldn't count on that." She took her bandana and wrapped it around the gash in her hand, "Actually..." she undid her makeshift bandage "Here, maybe you can tie this around the trigger causing it to shoot while you get out of danger. I don't know if it would be plausible, but might as well try, just make sure you insert the gun fully into the wound if you manage to so we can get the most amount of damage." She turned to Night Owl "If for some reason if gets lost in the guts, I promise to buy you a new, better gun." she said with an accompanying heart crossing motion. "Alright guys, as soon as Ethan hormone bombs the albino just shoot at it as quickly as possible. We need to keep it distracted enough until the queen comes over. And Ethan, good luck."

"Precision. Guided. Pain. Coming up!" said Alex before climbing onto the ridge and taking his aim.

"Thanks, I'll get you dinner to pay you back when we get back to Vegas, hopefully it will smell better than this.", Ethan said, trying his best to avoid noticing the odor of the juices he had just bathed in.

He ran down the ravine, chucking the engorged balloon of a stomach at the gigantic white scorpion. At this the last of the smaller scorpions started to attack the albino, it reacted by jabbing its stinger into the head of the smaller one.

The queen, realizing that its protection was gone started to move towards the "intruder", stinger and pincers poised to attack. The queen came scuttling over to the albino scorpion. ready to attack. As it moved forward, Ethan ran down the ravine while the giant albino was distracted.

He slid under the massive scorpion like a runner stealing third base and thrust the knife under its carapace. using the gap left in it's soft underbelly, he thrust the assault carbine and tied down the trigger. But as the monstrous beast started thrashing around in fear and desperation Ethan realized one crucial flaw, which he realized right as one of the massive legs came crashing down onto his arm, the loud snap of bone cracking sounded harsh in his ears and he started to feel dizzy from the pain.

The assault carbine was lodged firmly into the scorpion, and as it thrashed and swung the carbine did so as well, causing untold damage to the insects interior. As Ethan climbed/crawled out of the ravine, he looked at Demeter and said "Was that the idea?" before collapsing, his arm bent at an impossible angle.

Night Owl let out a cheer as the plan seemed to work, glad his weapon was finally of some use in the fight. He joy quickly faded when he noticed Ethan hadn't escaped unharmed.

"He's down, that scorpion near tore his arm right off!"

"Shit!" shouted Alex before throwing off his helmet and breaking into a full, flatout sprint. "Cover me!" he yelled as he kept running, hopping over corpses on his way. "Up you get, I'll fix you in a sec." he said to ethan, lifting him up. "This stuff stinks." he said as he was running back. "I'm going to have to snap this thing back into place, its the only thing I was ever shown." he said putting ethan down. "Issac, you mind giving me a hand here?" he said.

Night Owl clenched his teeth in frustration, drawing his knife as it was only weapon he had left.

"My Assault Carbine is hopefully going to finish that albino scorpion off, until then I've only got this knife left which is going to be about as much use a a BB gun against a death claw if the queen comes near me."

Night Owl was confident the albino scorpion was the only one with a damn near indestructible carapace but he wasn't keen to try a close quarters knife attack.

"Issac, you mind giving me a hand here?"

"Sure thing. Let me have a look... This doesn't look good. The arm looks like to have a closed, comminuted fracture." He said. "We need to make a makeshift splint. Quick, someone give me something to stabilize the arm and keep it in place." Isaac kept calm and continued. "Alex, can you make a sling?"
