[Date: Saturday, Feb. 4th. Time: 6:30 p.m.] [You're in the command center of Site Dilov-34, a military installation located on top of the Tanigian oil well. Coincidentally, the facility's under attack by masked gunmen and ninjas in bikinis. Two of the ninjas have already made an attempt on the life of base commander Yasen Stoyanov, but you were there to thwart it.] [Judging from camera footage, the mercs and/or ninjas are now headed towards the well itself. Alysha has surmised that there's something there besides the well, and has managed to get you hired by the commander to stop the attackers.] [Caught up? Good.] (Thwart thwart thwart) [Start] [Alysha watches the cameras, those that are operable. "No doubting it, these guys are good. Better than..." She looks to make sure the commander's not listening to her. He isn't, he's gone to bark orders at some of the techs. "Better than standard Tanigian military. They must be a spec ops squad."] [She glances over her shoulder at Shiho. "You guys are the security experts; should I stay here or come with you?"] I'm your bodyguard. If I had a choice, we'd be leaving. * Montana starts stripping! Not really. But he is shedding the top layer of normal clothes to get at the suit underneath. His mask's already on, so what the hey, right. [Alysha grins. "But then we wouldn't get paid."] (Did Nigel ever get his answer regarding getting access to their security system? I don't remember.) That being said, if this place was attacked, someone may come back. I vote we split the group - at least one person to stay with you, and the rest heading to the well. ( I don't either :D ) (Which I know is a pain but it still seems like the right thing to do.) * Sonia pulls down at her jacket and waits a moment, then says, "Could just get back in the van. The bots are operational, yeah?" * Gordo doesn't voice his opinion, but if we're supposed to be gun runners, isn't taking the money and running supposed to be th thing to? ( Bwah, that is a pain D: ) Just set yourself up a defensive perimter or... whatever you military types do. ["Some of them. The ones that haven't been destroyed yet."] By the way, are we getting paid for this side venture, or is the money going straight to VA? * Montana grins, not that anyone can see it. * Sonia waves a finger at her. "I mean the ones you were tryin' to sell, dronkie." [Alysha grins in response. "I'll see that you get a nice bonus next paycheck." ] Pretty sure we just brought those. * Nigel turns to the commander. "It may be possible to use your current security system to lock this room down a bit more tightly, if I could have access to that. There must be some sort of hole in the security that the assassins were able to abuse." * Sonia turns to walk down the hall and out of the room. "Think of it as a tech demo." * Montana hands Sonia his hat as she walks out. "Hang onto this for me, wouldja darlin'?" Sounds good ta me, I need to fetch the long gun for this. * Sonia glances up at Montana and stops, takes the hat, then puts it on between her two puffballs. She blows a bubble at him, then keeps walking. (So there you go. Nobody has to seperate from the group.) [The commander frowns at Nigel, then looks at his techs, then responds, "If you have any ideas, my ears are open."] * Gordo fetches das shooty. ( Wondering if I need a second channel ) (To what end?) ( Some of you are going somewhere else? ) * Montana may have grinned at Sonia's bubble-blowing, but nobody can see because mask! (A small number are headed down to the van to get things, and will return shortly!) ( K ) (Yup, think that's the plan!) * Nigel shrugs. "I would need to have a look at your security system and see if there is something I could do." * Montana tests his comm, trying, "This work?" [Outside Gordo et. all hear lots of gunfire. A bot not far away opens up with chainguns at something out of view, until a rocket blows it up. * Shiho tells Alysha, "If this room can be secured, then I don't mind leaving you here." [Alysha nods. "Works for me. I can watch you guys on the monitors and keep in touch over comms." ] * Gordo radios up. "Still got action down here." [The commander nods. He signals for one of the techs to watch Nigel at work, though.] * Montana comms back, "Sounds like we should head down together then, unless you got it. Nigel's playing with the computers now." * Nigel heads over to one of the computers, sits down, and looks for places where the security may have failed. * Gordo radios up. "I'm not one for tangling with with SLRs with naught but a peashooter. Think our bots can handle it?" [All over the place. The techs seem to have been busily getting it back online.] (Can I make an attempt to help get it back online and also maybe see if I can reinforce it somehow?) ( Sure, gimme a computers (security) roll ) 2d6+11 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+11 for Nigel and gets a natural 3 for a result of 14. (wow DR) 2d6+11 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+11 for Nigel and gets a natural 8 for a result of 19. [Nigel is able to repair and improve much of the security.] * Nigel nods and stands up. "There you go, commander. Hopefully that will keep them out a bit longer." [He nods. "Good."] * Gordo tries to get to the van without drawing too much attention to himself. ( It's a truck. ) (It's big, boxy, and has wheels!) [But the truck is parked just outside the command center, so it's not hard to find.] * Gordo gets his gun and waits for Sonia to do her thing with our bot reinforcments * Sonia adjusts the hat on her head, glances around, then takes a quick jog towards the truck. "How we getting to the well?" ["There's a bridge to the drilling facility from the Command Center," responds Alysha.] (Nobody actually said we were gonna enable the bots.) (Gah, I cannot reading comprehension today.) (Since Alysha's staying inside and all. Sonia just knew we were going to have to go, so she went to get ready to move.) ["You guys should gather on the second floor," says Alysha. "That's where the bridge is. Once you get to the facility, look for a way underground."] * Montana looks over at Nigel and Shiho. "You two ready to go?" (Okay, for those of us who are bad at reading things today. There is a bridge between the building that the command center is in and the wells where we need to go fight. Y/N?) * Nigel shrugs and stands. "Yeah, sure." ( Yeah ) (That's apparently the case!) (Now you have a sniper rifle!) * Gordo goes back in now that he's has his ability to reach out and touch people back. Yeah. Alysha, if anything happens, please -hide-. Don't grin at the enemy, don't bait them. (Sorry, she said 'Boss,' not 'Alysha'.) [Alysha grins. "Where's the fun in that?"] If you keep that up, Shiho's just going to kidnap you and take you back to the States. * Montana semi-salutes. "Just sayin', ma'am." He heads off to catch up to the others, in the name of great not splitting up the party! * Shiho follows after everyone else. * Sonia shrugs as people head in, puts the hat on the metal case she brought into the truck, and murmurs, "Driver, not fighter, I know." She then looks out of the truck for a moment to make sure she's not gonna get crossfired. * Sonia then heads up to the second floor as well. [You gather together on the second floor of the command center, where an elevated corridor connects the two. You can hear gunfire as you approach, and a Tanigian soldier falls over dead from around the corner.] * Sonia grimaces as she draws a gun and a metal bead, moving close to the corner. "Who wants to start this easy ride?" (I'm using sonics as best I can to get a picture of what's around the corner.) ( Gimme a hearing roll Sonia! ) * Gordo sticks with his pistol for now, it's better for close up fighting. * Montana sneaks ahead and blends with the scenery as he peeks around the corner to see what's what. ( Gimme a stealth roll Montana! ) * Shiho lets people who can actually sneak do sneaking and stays ready with her sword. 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 11 for a result of 16. (wub) 2d6+10 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 17. * Sonia nods slightly to herself and comms, "Sounds like they just cleared the hall." Jolly good. * Montana comms quietly, "Four men, assault rifles. They want people dead, not just out." [A few minutes later, they start to move on, down a corridor in the well facility.] * Montana comms, "They're leaving for the well. Get 'em in the back?" * Sonia commplies, "No time like now." Sounds good. * Gordo nods, checks safty on his pistol and tries to move up quietly. ( You can all get one free attack, then we roll init. ) (I'll punk goon #3!) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. (I'm rolling an AoE in on them.) * Shiho sheathes her sword, draws her pistol, and moves forward. ( Incidentally, Shiho, Montana and Gordo are still wounded from last time. ) ( I'm keeping track :P ) 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 2 and a modified 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE! "Excellent! We've been looking for a test subject. Hold on to this horseshoe and penny while I alert the Leprechaun Entrapment Brigade, we'll have you fixed in no time..." (Bleh.) ( Hoo boy ) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. * Montana makes with the disarming of one goon with his whip. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. ( Chibi Vernon hates you ) (Yep.) (Did I miss?) (I can totally DR.) ( Yep. Waiting for Nigel though. ) (DR1) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. (Way better!) (Sorry. Distracted.) * Nigel pulls out his crossbow and loads a bolt. He fires at one of the guards. 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. [You make a sneak attack! Nigel and Gordo put a bolt and bullet in one, taking him down. Montana disarms another, and Shiho and Sonia miss. One of the men screams, "Hostiles!" and they scramble for cover.] ( gimme init rolls ) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. 2d6+11 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+11 for Shiho and gets a natural 5 for a result of 16. (I love missing with AoEs.) ( It can happen :P ) ( not that you said what it is you were using to attack with ) (It's really hard to miss against people who are unaware of the attack. ^^;) (Anyway.) 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 11. ( Waiting for 3 init rolls ) (Where is there even cover?) ( Corners in the opposite building, overturned chairs and tables, stuff like that ) 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 4 for a result of 9. ('opposite building'?) ( Waiting for Sonia ) (We're on the upper floor of a single building.) 2d6+5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. ( You're on the upper floor of a building outside a bridge that connects to another building. ) (Bridge to the well site. I had to ask too.) (I'm aware there's a bridge, I just was confused at the description of cover.) [Shiho, Gordo, Montana, Sonia, Soldiers, Nigel] [Shiho!] ( The men are a turn away for melee ) * Shiho ducks behind an overturned table and fires over the top of it at the goons. 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. [Shiho plugs one of them in the shoulder.] [Gordo] * Gordo fires a pair of shots at the one that Shiho wounded. 2 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 5 5 ) for a result of ( 11 11 ). ( Uh ) ( That's weird ) (CV doesn't like us tonight) 6 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 6 2d6+6 for Brett and gets a natural ( 7 11 6 5 6 8 ) for a result of ( 13 17 12 11 12 14 ). ( Hm, guess it is working though ) [He manages to crouch behind cover, but not before Gordo hits him in the leg. he's not looking in good shape now.] [Montana] [Sonia ] (Sorry!) * Montana drops the automatic behind him and snaps his whip at another one of the still conscious/living guys, trying to disarm him too! 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 9. (DR2, woot) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16. [Montana disarms him, too!] (I am so awesome!) [Now Sonia Close: Fri Sep 09 22:12:53 2011 Start: Fri Sep 09 22:13:03 2011 Ident: #mc5 * Now talking in #mc5 ( .... ) (Mutter.) (Was typing and hit something.) ( orz ) * Sonia reaches into her pocket and pulls out a second sonic bead, cocks her arm, and throws it into the midst of the guys in cover to try to hit as many of them as she can. Explosives: they're great! (Damage trap.) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. [As many = 2, apparently. Sonia blows up the wounded man and injures an other.] [The remaining guards draw pistols and fire at....] d5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 1d5 for Brett and gets a natural 3 for a result of 3. d5 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 1d5 for Brett and gets a natural 5 and a modified 5, a CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Astonishing! May I borrow your pituitary gland for a moment? You'll get it back good as new, I promise!" ( Nigel and Sonia ) 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 9 for a result of 15. 2d6+6 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 9 for a result of 15. [Both Sonia and Nigel are able to take cover in time to avoid being shot.] [And Nigel's turn.] * Nigel pops out from his cover fires another bolt at the remaining guy. 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 11 for a result of 18. ( The injured or uninjured one? ) [Nigel sends a bolt into the injured guard, finishing him off.] [Shiho!] * Shiho looks over her cover and fires at the last guy. 2d6+7 * Chibi_Vernon rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. (Sorry. Was under the impression there was only one left. That's fine.) [Shiho hits him, and finishes him off 'cause this is taking too long. (Works for me) ( And I think I'm going to call it here. We've spent 2 hours getting to a spot that should have taken 1 because nobody's paying attention. ) (Ahm.) (Sorry.) (If I knew where my mind had wandered off too I'd totally go fetch it.) [End for now]
