[Gordo and Sonia are roughly a block away from Shiho and Alysha. In a rental van. Woot.] What's the range on yer listeners? * Sonia looks at Gordo through her sunglasses, then chuckles as she toys with some equipment that is in the van. "Depends on how lucky we are. It's more like sonar anyway. Ya know sonar?" A wee bit. You running active then? * Sonia nods slightly. "Pretty much. Cities aren't that great for passive even if you get time to do backgrounding. Although I've done it." They're a great mess for radar, echos everywhere. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sonia (2d6+6) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 10. (Ugh.) (This is why DR is important) [Sonia hears noise! So much noise.] * Sonia winces and mutters something under her breath, before asking, "This girl needs to start giving us a little more warning." * Gordo shakes his head. "Don't think she even know what a flight plan is." * Sonia laughs a litlte loudly, then starts messing with the equipment again. "Most people say I don't either." [There's basically 3 buildings nearby where snipers could be hiding] 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sonia (2d6+6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. Oh, filing and following are two compleatly different birds, but it's nice to know when ye can wake up around noonish. * Gordo checks over his guns. * Sonia makes a slight laughing noise through her nose, then nods her head in a direction. "The building that way, 30th floor." * Sonia turns a knob slightly and looks over with a slight smile. "You think you can handle one paramilitary goon by your lonesome, boy?" Give me a wee bit of credit. * Gordo looks at the building in question. [It's big.] (Is the 30th floor the roof?) [It's a high rise, not unlike the buildings both Alysha and Montana's groups went to. The 30th floor is not the roof, but it's close.] You know which room he's in? (And are there balconies and that sort of thing?) ( Nope ) ( Plenty of windows though ) * Sonia tunes a knob and tries to correspond the sounds to the map. (Trying to precise up the estimation and give him a room.) ( Roll for it :P ) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sonia (2d6+6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. Putting it at the corner window. (I'm going to assume that one of the corners is closer to the restruant than the others and carry on from there.) * Gordo puts his own sniper riffle in its case, holsters his pistol and moves out. "Let me know if he's got any other friends." * Sonia nods and replies with a slight grin, "I'll be listening to you." [Gordo heads into the building, where a guard is sitting at a desk watching the elevators. These guys are everywhere! ] (There anything that looks like a building directory?) [There is! But the lettering is strange and Gordo isn't sure what's supposed to be what.] * Gordo walks over to the directory and at least learns how full the building is and if the whole thing is one flavor of goons. [The building does not appear to be a goon hideout. Actually it seems pretty normal. The directory's not much help there.] * Sonia comms to Gordo, ~Something stop you?~ * Gordo nods at the directory and heads for the elevators, nodding at the guard as he passes. "Not a fan of candid camera." [The guard stops Gordo, pointing at a book with a pen lying on it. Seems to be a sign-in sheet.] * Gordo rolls his eyes and walks back to the desk. He checks his watch and then scribbles something that might be signature and the current time." [The guard thinks this is good enough, and lets Gordo by.] * Gordo wishes he could read what the other people wrote, the guy on the 30th floor probably had to sign too. * Gordo goes to the elevators and hits the up button. [An elevator arrives shortly.] * Gordo waits for anybody in to get out, and then gets in and hits the 30 button. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sonia (2d6+6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. [Gordo reaches the 30th floor in no time ] * Gordo steps out of the elevator and takes a moment to orent himself and look around. What's on this floor? [Nothing! It's currently being renovated. Cardboard walls and plastic sheets are abound.] [It smells of paint.] * Sonia comms, ~I've got a echo off a possible second sniper.~ (How likely is it that somebody in the corner heard the elevator arrive?) (Like is there noice from people working up here, or the sort of dead silence that a 'ding' would totally carry?) [There's a loud fan that may or may not have obscured it.] * Gordo moves for cover and then draws his pistol. * Sonia pulls out a device to wire to the van's sonar stuff, then leaves the van pinging as she rolls out of the van into a jog, towards the second possible sniper target. She's in hoodie configuration. (So that I can listen to it while I'm on the move.) * Gordo waits a moment and then tries to sneak his way around to what would be the corner office if there were any real walls left. [As Gordo comes around a corner, he practically bumps into a dark-haired man carrying a revolver, who also looks surprised. Gimme an init roll! ] 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gordo (2d6+6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. [Gordo gets to go first!] [Meanwhile Sonia reaches the building.] * Gordo shoots himself a mercinary, or at least tries. 2 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gordo (2 2d6+6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 13 16. * Sonia glances to make sure she can actually go in the building, as opposed to have to scale it. [Uh... Yeah, Gordo drops him with two shots.] ( That was easy O: Just as well ) * Gordo comms. "Got on, you hear anybody else in here?" Then he continues to try and sneak about in case the sniper's still here and he just picked off the lookout. ~Not over the gunshot.~ ~Maybe the boss'll sell me a surpressor.~ (Can I go in the building?) ( You can! ) [Gordo finds a sniper rifle and a carrying case, as well as a cell phone. Seems that guy was the sniper. That or the real sniper's in the restroom.] * Sonia heads into the building, then, walking with purpose. She's a woman on a mission. [Sonia enters! Thankfully, there's no security guard for this one.] ~I'm heading towards the other target in the building. Haven't picked up a third.~ ~Roger.~ * Gordo sets up in the now empty sniper post and tries to find #2. ( Gimme a sight check ) * Sonia heads up to where she pinpointed the guy, her fingers resting in her pockets. (Any bonus for having a scoped riffle?) ( Nope. You still gotta search for him :P ) (Damn) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Gordo (2d6+5) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 8. [Meanwhile, Sonia heads up to a giant room full of cubicles, all deserted. It's quiet up here.] [Gordo doesn't spot anyone (Relying on my local sonics to try to ID him.) * Gordo checks on the restruant. * Sonia walks slowly, staying low, which is easy because she's short! [Gordo can see things are heating up over there. Alysha's sitting at a table, grinning, with Shiho behind her. Leaning on the table across from her is a man with a thick mustache and nice suit. He looks pretty angry. And surrounding them are 4 MiBs.] ( Gimme a stealth roll, Sonia ) (If I get within 10 feet, I can suppress his ability to detect me at all!) (Hear me, anyway.) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sonia (2d6+6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. (STEALTHY) [Sonia is stealthy! And stays such til she gets to the far windows, where she sees a man kneeling and aiming a sniper rifle at the restaurant across the way.] * Gordo looks around for sniper #3 and in general tries to be more alert than #1 was. * Sonia stays dead still as she smoothly withdraws one of those smooth metal balls from her pockets, aims for a moment, and then carefully rolls it towards the guy. (Gonna blow him up with the Damage Trap!) ( K ) ( Roll for it ) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sonia (2d6+7) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. ( K, describe it :P ) * Sonia 's ball rolls right up next to his prone form, and then there's a sudden high pressure sonic explosion, like a low 'whumph', right next to him, probably throwing off that sniper aim just a touch! If he's still conscious or alive, anyway. Ow! [He's out!] (It also probably knocks down the nearby cubicle walls and rattles the window, heh.) * Sonia comms, ~Second sniper down. Haven't heard a third,~ as she jogs over and pulls out a ziptie for the poor sniper's hands. ~Negative here. Things are heating up with the boss. ~ * Sonia ties the feet similarly, and then takes the guy's sniper rifle and tries to set up so she can see the targets. [Sonia sees... what's going on in the main channel ] ~I'm pretty steady, airman, but no trained sniper here when things go south.~ (I am basically using the aim action repeatedly to maximize my chance of putting one in the body.) (For when combat starts.) ~Take it slow and try to relax. If ye try to force yerself to hold still you'll just get the jitters. ~ * Sonia smiles just barely. ~Didn't say it was my first ride.~ * Sonia squeezes off her shot and takes a guy's head off. Her breath hitches a moment, then she breathes out slowly. ~Like riding a bike, eh flyboy?~ ~Maybe you should be the one telling me how to shoot.~ * Sonia picks up her rifle and adds, to Gordo, ~Another day. Got a boy to pick up. You can pick up my guy when you get the chance, I'm leaving tied up on the floor.~ ~Now, what exactly am I supposed to do with I tied up baddie in the middle of a city and not even a vehicle or hotel room to call my own?~ * Sonia jogs out of the cubicles to go pick up her favorite brothers. ~Ask the boss.~ ~Leave 'em. We're wrapped up here, can take a pick up when you're ready, Sonia.~ * Gordo double checks to make sure that he hasn't got any blood on him, and the packs up both sniper riffles to take home.
