A Routine Travel Gone Bad

It was a beautiful sunny day when the Gateway Trucking squad set out from Kingdom of Longo headed for Gateway Truckstop.

Things were going completely according to plan until this.....

"Joey, you're coming into this turn way too hot!"
"Man, I got this. Sammy Cull tells me he always rolls through here at 80mph".
Joey took his eyes off the road just for a second, Iron Dick hit a rut, and violently flipped onto it's roof.
Before the rig had even stopped, both Charity Peterson and Hunter Solomon were outside trying to get it back onto it's wheels.
It was a valiant but futile effort as the lead Badlander from Cyber Formation crested the hill and opened up with its guns.
Both Charity and Hunter jumped back into Iron Dick and got back to their rear mounted Heavy Gatling Guns.

The armor was literally being peeled off the side by gunfire and then Iron Dick suddenly flipped onto it's wheels.
Joey was immediately on the gas but the Badlander plowed into Iron Dick and flipped it back onto its roof, this time in a couple of feet of water.
Water came pouring into the vehicle as the gunners tried desperately to find a target. The Badlander came into both guns arcs and it was torn apart in seconds, itself flipping upside down in the water.
But the Antagonist was sitting just feet away from the side of Iron Dick and was unloading volley after volley into it.
Suddenly, Iron Dick rolled onto it's wheels again. Joey gunned the gas but looked back at Charity and Hunter and said," I really want to get out of this rig".
Charity managed to get the Antagonist back into her arc and landed a volley. The Antagonists next volley wounded both gunners, Hunter decided he wanted out, and Iron Dick was surrendered to Cyber Formation.

You can check out this exciting battle plus a couple of foot squad battles in my newest video on Stronger Than Steel. Enjoy.

Nexus, I have a bird. Flo. He's an Amazon Parrot. 27 years old. 1 foot and 1 pound of mean! I've had him for 17 years. He likes to make noise when I'm talking to anyone, including any phone calls, or recording video. He's pretty cool.

For future reference, when the recording starts coming out of sync, pause it and hit the "Jump" button. It does a sort of soft reset and puts things back the way they should be, at least for a little while.

P.S. If I were you, I would've kept firing those HGGs as a recoil boost, probably would've had you out of the event with the Badlander.
