[Day: Thursday, Dec. 3rd, 2082. Time: 8:30 p.m.] [You're at a police blockaid a block away from the Kirby store where a mutant is running amok. Woo. Gottlieb arrives, too!] [Session Start] (Now that's good timing!) * Gottlieb jogs over to the group and tosses off an apologetic nod. "Was over on the other side of the city scouting suppliers when I heard the news. Sohn said you were on your way. What do we have planned out so far?" * Roseli gets out and points at the building. "He's in there. Take him in or get him out. Keep our distance. If necessary, explode cars at him." * Gottlieb nods. "Inside count?" * Hotaru starts to unpack Ten's things. There's her familiar swarm of minature helecopters, but they're joined by a pair of much larger model helecopters, both of which seem to be armed. (Ten was in the process of hitting the cameras.) Waiting on it. (Thought Heinrick was getting Keiko to try to check.) * Heinrick nods. "Hopefully, he has mental weaknesses. Physical may be a concern. And we're currently investigating." (We both can!) (She doesn't have the range really.) * Roseli nods. "Close up, very dangerous. Sohn filled you in?" (I've got pleanty if anything's still working in there.) * Gottlieb nods again, and looks over to Luana. "Do you have any thoughts on this yet, Miss Hall?" (Keiko can't think that far, no. We're still, like, a half-block to a block away.) (At the barricades.) * Luana is standing by her motorcycle, looking fairly calm. "Some, sir. I can't tell exactly what we're dealing with yet, but since guns seem to be useless, I intend to keep my distance and use my pyrokinesis in order to fight." (You have something for me to roll to find the guy via security cameras and/or store merchandice?) * Keiko replies to Heinrick's question, flatly. "No." She rubs her nose. (The question being 'Can she count the minds inside. So it's all PC knowledge now.') * Gottlieb nods. "Good thinking." He looks around. "Do we know if he's getting any support from outside the building?" Doesn't seem so. * Heinrick nods to Keiko. "I thought not. And it's too risky to get too close until we have a clearer view." (Officers still around?) ( There are officers around. And go ahead, Ten. ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. * Gottlieb turns to the officer in charge, or that looks like he's in charge. "Sir, were you able to collect any accounts of the events leading up to this...character's outburst? Had anyone reported him as being suspicious, or having confederates?" (Poor Gottlieb missed the briefing.) ( Confederates? But we're not even IN the States.) * Ten eyes the officers and waves Rose over. Then the helecopters rise into the air and head to the building. (He got a briefing from Sohn, probably the same thing that you guys heard) [The officer answers! "Yeah, we got accounts. The bastard yelled something about showing the world what gene-tech was really about, then popped a needle into his neck and started killing."] (When he was located and notified the evenet) And nothing before that? All witnesses dead? * Roseli turns and heads over to Hotaru. She raises an eyebrow. * Keiko mentally comments to Luana, ~Well, at least he showed up.~ [He shakes his head. "Some of 'em got out..." And then he's interrupted as several black vans screech to a halt next to the barricade.] * Ten has Hotaru face her and then speaks. "He seems to have destroyed everything inside. I'm sending them in to look through the windows." * Roseli nods. "Good." * Roseli turns to gaze at the vans. * Heinrick goes over to Keiko. "I believe it suffices to say that this character may batter down the shield, but do not take unnecessary risks." His tone calms a little. "And we'll make certain to get you some medicine when we return." [A bunch of people hop out. They're wearing black kevlar and carrying automatic weapons. At least two have bazookas. A 50-ish guy with a white gaotee exits one and approaches the same guy Gottlieb is talking to. "Stand back, officer. We'll take care of this."] * Keiko glances to Heinrick a moment, then says a bit more bluntly, "I'll be trying not to die." * Ten ignores them and doesn't call the scouts off. * Heinrick looks over at the newcomers with a careful eye, then whispers to Keiko. "Any read on them?" * Luana glances over at Keiko. "We won't let you die. Don't worry too much." * Keiko murmurs back, "They wanna blow it up. Some people are just that simple." * Heinrick snorts and stands back up fully without comment. * Keiko then comments mentally to Luana, ~I was being sarcastic to Heinrick.~ ~Oh. My statement still stands.~ * Keiko is silent in both ways a moment, then says back out loud, "I know." * Luana smiles at her. [The cop peers at him. "Yeah?" He nods and produces a badge. "Blitzkrieg at your service."] [The cop looks back and forth between that guy and Gottlieb, and shrugs. "Good luck, then." He moves off to assist other cops.] * Luana murmurs to Gottlieb, "Sir, we have jurisdiction, do we not? Has there been a change in orders?" * Roseli walks to the fifty something guy and says, "What's this about?" Hmmph. I'm curious to know as well. * Gottlieb snorts softly and steps back to let Roseli handle it, murmuring back to Luana, "As you may well recall, our existence as a group in this context has not been proven. Other factions are likely to take offense, or try to take over. As you can see." Yes, sir. (I get to handle everything!) There is also the possibility that Frau Sohn sent us out to test us whether or not we have jurisdiction. This, however, is slightly less likely, as if we do not, it would also be a good way to cast a black mark on our Section. (Ladies first! ;D) (Besides, she's military, we've got to set up the good cop/bad cop. ^_~) (I'm also as tall as the wards. >.>;) [The guy waves his people forwards, then turns to Roseli. He looks her up and down, then asks, "Who are you?"] (But you carry it so much better. ;p) (Nobody gives me authority. ;P) Roseli Taveres. Also Blitzkrieg. (Maybe that's because they don't want people who disagree with me punching themselves in the groin.) (Could be.) * Roseli flashes her badge. "We were called when the last team failed." (But it's mostly because she stepped up to ask, so Gottlieb yielded it.) (Ditto.) (I don't know, the humor could be worth the social awkwardness it causes.) (On the plus side, it shows the other guardians have faith in you. XD) (Just because I killed a bunch of people last surprise attack...) * Gottlieb steps back further from the upcoming jurisdiction chompface, and turns to Ten. "Any luck yet?" he asks, in a lowered, almost casual tone. [He scowls. "Well, your services won't be necessary. We'll take care of it."] * Heinrick steps forward. "Last report was that conventional weapons were ineffective. What makes you believe these will prove any different?" d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets a natural 1 for a result of 1. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. ["Conventional weapons included low-calibur bullets. With explosives and incindaries, we'll make a dent in that thing."] Possible. Shouldn't underestimate him, though. (I'm an incindiary! :D) ["You let us worry about that." He glances at the rest of you. "Get your kids to safety." Then he moves forward with his team. For the record, we'll say there's 3 men and 3 women, 4 carrying automatics, two with bazookas.] * Ten pulls the larger choppers back as a TV is thrown out of the building and obliterates one of the palm sized ones. * Heinrick pushes up his glasses. "I do hope you were planning on making "more than a dent." That sort of approach may result in someone quite angry. Not to mention collateral damage. * Keiko pets her duck. ~I wish everybody'd make up their mind.~ ~I'm concerned that he'll kill those people if they go in.~ ~You're right.~ * Gottlieb glances at Keiko. "Miss Hanano. Are you capable of seeing through the eyes of others, if you've already established contact with them?" * Keiko smirks to herself, in the car. ~But they're adults. That's their problem.~ * Hotaru picks up Ten and walks to where the others are talking. * Keiko then looks to Gottlieb, smirk fading from her face. She's silent a moment, then, "I don't want to try it with people who are about to die. Hotaru and Ten were already looking." * Roseli walks after him. "Let us help. We were called here first; if anything, you're the back up, not us." It's foolish not to use all of our resources. ...very well. I understand. Thank you, miss. * Ten keeps her voice down, but sounds smug as she speaks to Keiko and Gottlieb. "I have found him. But if they wish to die, that is their choice." Aha. Is anyone else alive in there? [He stares hard at Roseli. "And what do you think you can do?"] * Ten shakes her head. "I did not see anything else alive. He attacks even the walls." * Keiko glances to Ten for a moment. I see. This is...regrettable, but beneficial to our goal. A good deal. Our section was designed for threats like this. I wouldn't decline your help, but I'm surprised you would decline ours. [He snorts. "Your section was designed to make Zukunft look good."] * Gottlieb finally steps up. "Pure tactical logic does not allow for ingrained prejudices to push aside possible advantages." And if your section fails? It makes all of Blitzkrieg look bad. *shrugs* Not that that's any of my concern. (Do the wards have badges?) (Not that I'm aware of. You're just grunts.) (No offense.) * Roseli nods at Gottlieb. I can see no reason why the ability to throw fire within a thirty-meter radius would be useless, for example. Especially if you're working with incendiaries. (Why would a piece of equipment have a badge?) (Seriously.) (None taken. :D It just occurred to me that if we're ever seperated, a badge would go a long way in making people accept orders from kids.) [He don't look happy.] (We have Keiko for that) (Yeah, I was about to say.) (Orders?) (Ooh, true!) We may not even need to go that far. * Keiko continues petting her duck, and says out loud, since only the wards are still near the cars, but quietly, because she doesn't need people overhearing, "Yes, we're all getting a bit sick of this." (We are too, but we don't wanna, you know, go in anyway and have them BLOW US UP WITH HIM.) (I know. I was saying it out loud for Tentaru's sake.) [The guy folds his arms. "I don't like this. Messing up kids and using them in combat. It's not right."] -Global- Ladies and gentlemen, Sourdough appears to be experiencing major network difficulties at the moment. Please hang on tight. - Calculus (I don't care about you! You're mean!) * Gottlieb glances at Keiko, glances at Ten, then nods. * Gottlieb turns back to the guy. "Terrorism isn't right, either. It's more like an apprenticeship, anyway. What career *doesn't* fundamentally change its practitioners?" Your personal and moral objections are duly noted. However, there is still a killer on the loose. * Ten whispers. "I am begining to entertain the idea of attacking him while they argue over whos right it is." * Keiko whispers back, "And take the lashes for it?" * Gottlieb gestures inside. "But this is becoming more and more pointless. Shall we?" * Gottlieb starts heading in anyway! * Luana grins and follows her guardian. * Ten wishes she could smirk. "I do not forsee a need for that." (Oh, Lubean. You know just what I want you to do, so's I don't even have to emote it. XD) * Heinrick blows out a breath and sticks his hands in his pockets. "My my. I always thought those older than us were supposed to be the calm and patient ones. I suppose we should follow the wisdom of our elders though." He follows Gottlieb. * Roseli makes a curt gesture. "Hotaru," she says, and walks with. "Come if you like," she tells the fifty something as she passes. (Lubean? XD) (I came up with it tonight and have been kind of dying to use it. XD) [The guy waves to his troops. "We'll stand down for now. Don't get your kids killed."] * Gottlieb gives the guy a vague sort of nod/wave/thingygesture. * Hotaru stays with the vehicles, but one of the larger choppers starts to follow Luana. * Heinrick waves slightly. "Of course. Ms. Hanano, if you will?" * Ten speaks into the comm devices she's just read about in the log. "He's still on the first floor, and attacking anything that moves and many things that do not. I might suggest a distraction." * Keiko stands up slowly and then drifts towards the door, duck in hands. Once she gets close to Heinrick she gives him a half-smile and asks, "Are you sure you don't want a rocket launcher?" * Gottlieb nods at Ten's report. "Miss Hall, be prepared to create a small conflagration opposite of wherever we are. Do not actually put this into play until my orders, though. Yes, sir. * Heinrick strides forward. "Tempting. But I'm afraid the collateral damage to the building already sounds extensive. It might bring it down on top of us. And if you're talking bringing them with us without choice, well...it just wouldn't do for public relations." (...Actually, I don't have range on my creation. I can toss a fireball if you want, though?) * Keiko continues following, and once she's inside the doors, that slightly distortiony shield springs up in place around her. "If you say so." (Say that, Ten brought flairs) (don't you?) (You've got 1m area and 30m range, no?) (Oh, right,t hat's the teek, not hte create.) (Fireball still counts as "creating a conflagration", though, so we're ICly good XD) (Heinrick has incindiaries too anyhow.) (As well as things that just explode quite nicely.) (Okay, so we're burning things instead of rocket launching then. 8D) [You approach the building. Sure enough, you see a grey-skinned creature that looks very much like the Hulk, only bald. Bad news is, it notices you, too. Roll init!] (It's more controlled!) (But we can TK them not on fire) (How'd you get 30 meters?) (There's no way to get a PMV of 30 meters.) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+7) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 20. (Wow, not even stealth rolls.) (Dunno? Shary wrote that part up for me.) 2d8+13 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gottlieb (2d8+13) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 22. 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 18. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 14. (Bought 3 poitns of range? I dunno.) (3 points of range is a kilometer. ^^;) (I can throw fire -forever-. Cool.) (Rowy: It noticed and swatted a 2x diminutive helecopter out of the sky) (...dandy! XD) (Okay, well, we have a km then!) (So you need to check that sheet. ^_~) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 21. (Dear Roseli, please get over 22 on init, or Gottlieb will be forced to claim that WHIPPERSNAPPERS AM SLOWS. 8D) Waitin' on Ros. * Roseli reaches to her bracelet and hits a few buttons. 2d8+18 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+18) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 25. (Cheater!) (Well, yeah.) (Whew.) (Tasty cheat) [Roseli, Gottlieb, Keiko, Ten, Luana, Hulk, Heinrick] [Roseli!] * Roseli draws her gun and aims it at the guy, stepping in front of Hotaru. "Keep your distance," she orders. "Try to draw him out." (And hold my action.) [Gottlieb] * Gottlieb opens his vest to reveal a shoulder holster; he pulls out a pistol and ducks and rolls to a position far enough away from Hulky to set up the beginnings of a triangulation formation. [Keiko] (It's a Dalmatian sensation!) * Keiko grits her teeth and then holds the duck in one hand as she looks into the thing's eyes. Maybe she'll get a successful MC this time. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. (Hey, by 4. Neat.) ( I need to relog. Sound got shot. ) (look...at...me...) (Go Keiko! Show 'em you can do more than fall unconscious!) [Keiko makes eye contact! But nothing happens.] ( Be back in a sec. ) *** Signoff: Brett (Quit: ) (That's the problem with having Telepathy and MC. EVERYTHING winds up with Mindshield.) (Such is life. Although if this one does, it's very selective.) (It'ts okay, we'll just kill it.) (Seriously.) (And it's serum enduced.) *** Brett (vortex@pool-209-158-55-150.scr.east.verizon.net) has joined channel #MC4 *** Mode change "+o Brett" on channel #mc4 by ChanServ ( K, what'd I miss? ) (We woodled a lot.) (I trade sheep for ore.) (And then I mined for fish.) [Ten's turn] (And then I rolled a yahtzee.) (Sheep is useless unless you own ALL of them. And then it's awesome.) * Ten moves the helecopters around so that one can shoot if he comes charging out of the building and the other can shoot in, then she holds her turn. [Luana] * Luana makes a fireball about as big as her head. (FIREBALLS THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD!) [The hulk does not hold his turn, instead rushing at...] d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d6) and gets a natural 1 for a result of 1. (Unfortunately, we need a fireball the size of HIS head.) (GIVE 'EM A TWIST, A FLICK OF THE WRIST, THAT'S WHAT THE GUARDIAN SAID!) [Gottlieb! As he runs, he picks up a chair with one hand and flings it at the old guy.] (Badunkaduranged defense?) ( Yep ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gottlieb (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. (grr, miss by 2, DR) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gottlieb (2d8-2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 11. [Gottlieb is beaned with a chair.] (:O) [Heinrick] (Does the chair go to pieces?) (And is the hulk out of the building?) (Are the fancy turn holding people going first?) (I am!) (That depends on the answer to my previous question) (If he's out of the building, yeah.) ( We'll say yes. ) (I'd like to take my turn to fire one of the flairs behind him so he can't run back in.) (flare even) ( Uhhh... Flares aren't that big >.> ) ( You need 37 pieces of flair to work here.) (THey are when the lady with the fire TK makes them that big) (She already used her action!) (She's got her next one before the hulk!) * Ten orders one of the big helecopters to attack the ground! 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (You'll have to tell her if that's what you want; otherwise, I've got a big fireball to toss.) [Ten shoots a flare at the ground.] ( We're still on Heinrick's turn ) * Ten radios "Use that if he tries to retreat." (Any other turn-holders going?) (Since I'm the end of the round, figured I'd ask. :P) (Hehe. I'll fire.) * Roseli backs away as she fires at big and ugly! Because he is big. And ugly. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 2. [Roseli hits! For all the good it does. *Ping!*] *** Signoff: Keiko (Ping timeout) *** Keiko (mlink@c-69-245-251-83.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined channel #mc4 * Heinrick whirls around after he passes by and takes a vial of liquid nitrogen out of his coat. He aims for the legs as he throws it. 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+1) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 10. [Heinrick expertly throws it between the hulk's legs and into the store.] *** Signoff: Keiko (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [Roseli!] (...Ooops) (It's better than acid!) * Roseli moves to cover Keiko as well as Ten, firing again. For all the good it does, maybe it'll make him attack her instead of someone else. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. (Eh, miss anyway. XD) * Hotaru is still back at the baracade and as such doesn't need much covering. [Roseli misses. Gottlieb!] (sorry, was bioing) (anything around/above him?) ( Mmm... Phone lines ) *** Keiko (mlink@c-69-245-251-83.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined channel #mc4 (Darn, I"m not strong enough to bring a phone pole down on him) [hold action until just before Lubean's turn.] [Keiko] * Keiko , after reviewing the log, looks to the beast again and whispers, "You're angry? Be angry at yourself for doing this to yourself." Mind control attempt again! 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (By 5 this time!) [Keiko has control!] * Keiko reahes out with her hand as she says, mentally, angrily, ~You made yourself the problem by making yourself a freak. Fix it by breaking your legs.~ ( So, which is _more_ in tune with his mood? Hurting himself, or standing still? Choices, choices.) (Clearly he's emo.) (One hopes!) [Ten!] * Ten searchs for something suitable to hit the guy with, and realizes there's a flaw in her cunning plan with all the vehicles they brought with them being on the wrong side of the baracade, so she searches for a parked car with automatic transmission, remote ignition, and power stearing. ( Gimme aaaaa... I guess straight mind roll. ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. (Made by 2) (Although I bet a mechanics (automotive) would have been the correct skill) ( Fair enough. ) [Ten locates a car!] (Can I try to start it this turn or wait?) ( You can try to start it this turn, but you won't be able to get it to attack ) (Good enough for me, computers(intrusion) roll coming up) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4.

( Oi, this is gonna be a long night. ) [Luana's fireball sails past the hulk.] (Lu, you have a DR) (ack, too late) ( Or maybe not ) ( You can use it if you want. ) (Okay then, DR) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (Swing and a miss.) [Luana's fireball still sails past the hulk.] [The hulk raises his arms to smash his own legs, but apparently decides he doesn't wanna do that after all, and instead jumps coming down with both fists at...] d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d6) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. [Keiko!] (Damnit you emo bastard! You represent all that you hate right now!) (I thought breaking the control was an action.) (Not if it's against nature.) (Ah.) (Hence my question.) ( What question? ) (The earlier ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (Dodged.) ( I don't see it. ) [Anyhow, Keiko dodges. Heinrick!] ( So, which is _more_ in tune with his mood? blah blah blah) ( Ah, totally missed it. ) * Keiko is already stepping to the side as he makes the swing, and so dodges it with an inch or two to spare on her forcefield. ~Oh, come on, you can't tell me you _like_ being how you are.~ * Heinrick frowns and takes out another vial, tossing the incidiary in the guy's (if we can still call him that) face. "Hopefully you can use this, Ms. Hall." 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. [The hulk moves, but not quickly enough, and the vial hits his shoulder. He screams as the flames engulf him. Rather quickly, at that.] [Roseli!] * Roseli raises an eyebrow. "Hm." She moves to cover Keiko if she's attacked again. (And hold.) [Gottlieb!] ( Yes, please. I would be quite upset to have to explain a flaming Keiko on my hands.) * Gottlieb narrows his eyes and pops off a few shots at the base of the guy's spine. *** Signoff: Keiko (Read error: Connection reset by peer) (What's teh called shot penalty for that?) *** Keiko (mlink@c-69-245-251-83.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined channel #mc4 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gottlieb (2d8+2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 15.

Blood spurts out like a mini geyser.] [Keiko] * Gottlieb calls out, "It looks like a weak spot! Aim there!" (Arright, can I take my held turn?) ( Go ahead ) * Roseli nods once, aims for the spine as well, and fires. 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-1) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 7. (By two.) ( It's a +4 penalty, don't forget. ) ( My bad, I should have said that ) ( You can do something else if you prefer. ) (I'd shoot at his eye instead, but I assume that's also a +4, so.) 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+1) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 15. ( Nope, that's a +8 ) (Eyes were +8 when I asked actually.) (Eh... okay, fail if we go with that, make if we go with the original roll. :P Because that'd be a 9.)

We'll put you out of your misery.~ Worth one last try. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. (More makin'.) [Ten!] * Ten attempts to hit it in the weakspot... WITH A CAR! (What's the roll for this? Driving vs ACV? Improvised melee?) (Aw, that trick'll never work.) ( Ummm...

WITH A CAR] [Luana!] (I've got another attack o/~) * Ten just tries to run him down this time. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (See, but the thing is, if she had hit, she'd have attacked his weakpoint for MASSIVE DAMAGE." (And that's a potential hit) (I know ;_;) ( You did -3 again ) [Ten misses the hulk. WITH A CAR.

You're going for front? ) (Yarr.) ( K ) [Ten ruins a car.] (Sweet! One exploding gastank coming up) [Then Luana burns him to death. The fire consumes him quickly and he falls over.] (Mesenses a tired Brett.) ( Yah, finish up ) (It's only 1:34!) * Luana removes the fire and lets it dissipate once she's sure that he's not getting up again. * Keiko turns her entire body away from the guy, and steps away, shuddering. She murmurs, "He barely had a mind left when we got here." * Gottlieb looks around and does a quick check for any other threats before cautiously reholstering his gun. "Well. Good work all around, I think. Miss Hall, good work on the extinguishing, you're getting much better at that." * Luana beams at him. "Thank you, sir." * Heinrick sighs and adjusts his coat. "I do so detest more lethal methods, but if it's necessary. Keiko. Are you alright?" * Gottlieb turns to Keiko. "Miss Hanano--I'm sorry, I didn't think to warn you before I hit his weak point. Were you...within?" * Roseli walks over and looks at the husk, then turns to the wards. "Good job, all of you. Is anyone hurt?" I'm unharmed, ma'am. * Ten speaks over the radios. "One of my scouts was lost, but other than that, he seems to have caused our organization little grief." * Ten orders the rest of them to return the truck. Thank goodness those other people didn't go in first. * Roseli nods. *** Signoff: Keiko (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Heinrick makes certain that the car isn't going to explode any time soon first then goes up to him and starts searching the body.

It's the nature of the organization. And we're "rookies" after all. * Gottlieb half-shrugs philosophically. "Ah, well." He heads back. * Luana follows Gottlieb. * Roseli walks along, gesturing for Hotaru to walk with her. She stifles a yawn while she's at it. * Keiko glances to Heinrick, then Gottlieb, shudders one last time, then draws herself up, standing straight up, as she bites off a quiet, "I'm fine." She looks down at the body once more, clenches a fist around her duck, and starts to drift out. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. * Hotaru picks up Ten's tray and follows Rose. * Heinrick frowns slightly but kneels down slightly next to the body, taking out some casing, an empty vial, and an eyedropper. He pulls a few drops of something up from somewhere and puts it in the vial before sealing it, putting it away, and heading with the rest. *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) *** Luana (WD@24-151-190-56.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com) has joined channel #MC4 [Session End]
