Infrastructure: Part One Hundred and Forty Seven

As the last of the First Boat's marines were finished off two more boats converged on the the Hunter, each making it's way to  the opposite side. Commanding the second boat to arrive was Dravos. As committed to vengeance as he was, he still understood that a commander's place was not in first rank. The Infrastructural Soldiers returned fire against these assailants as they approached. As his boat approached the Infrastructural ship, the grapnels went up and he and his marines began to climb. He was also surprised to hear that the gunfire from above had stopped and he heard commands which he did not understand, but sounded to be to the effect of "run away" to his ear as he climbed.

As he was half way about small salvo of objects things went overhead. They looked vaguely like maces with green heads and short handles. He did not get much time t look at them in any case. One hit a marine, but did no damage. A couple ended up splashing into the sink. One ended up on his boat's shield.  Two more of the landed in the boat itself. He briefly wondered what these things could be. He got his answer soon enough with a trio of deffining bangs, the sudden burst of light and a shower of wood and steel fragments.
