“Target … them clockwork soldiers … ten rounds independent … FIRE”.  On the CSM order, the marines opened fire but to no effect. The bullets bounced off the metal casing of the clockwork soldiers that kept approaching their position. Suddenly, Quartermain’s elephant gun boomed and one of the clockwork soldiers staggered and fell in clouds of scalding steam. However, the others kept coming and as one, sent a volley of electricity and flame at the marines. The wall protected them from the worst effects but two marines were writhing and screaming on the floor. Dr Watson immediately dashed to the nearest and began to tend him.
Holmes yelled at the CSM, “Not the mechanical soldiers … the man with the box by the castle, he’s controlling them” The CSM was the units best marksmen. One round felled the controller and two more shattered the box. Holmes leapt the wall and jabbed his stick between the legs of the nearest mechanical man that toppled to the ground and lay there face down with its legs still moving. “FIRST SECTION … the gentleman has shown you what to do… CHARGE!”
Whilst the first section dealt with the mechanical men Holmes rejoined Watson. He was gently closing the eyes of one of the fallen marines. The other also lay still and silent. A shake of the head to the CSM confirmed that the two marines were beyond help. There was a grim expression on Watsons face that was new to Holmes and his friend had taken one of the dead marines rifles. “Excuse me Holmes old chap. Could you go through these poor fellows pouches and bring me their ammunition clips. I have some unfinished business here with the cowardly swine who created these inhuman weapons” .
