<@Brett> [Date: Monday, Feb. 22nd. Time: 11:15 a.m.] <@Brett> [You're on the side of an old road leading away from town, staring at the Asahara facility across a sea of old, rusty broken cars. Somewhere in there are a bunch of crazy people armed with makeshift weapons wanting to kill Alysha and/or Sonia.] <@Brett> [Fun times! Start] <@Brett> [Alysha looks to Montana. "So? What do we do?"] * Sonia stands there, leaning on one foot, case still in one hand. * Shiho has her sword out and is waiting for someone to tell her what to do. She does look better now that they've found Alysha. Go fast and hope we don't get mobbed, huh? Pretty much. If they jump us, they're likely to gun for Sonia and you first, ma'am. Not that I think any of 'em probably have guns. Like fighting a bunch of genemodded football hooligans. More or less, yeah. * Montana jerks his thumb back towards where the junkyard is. "Like I said, I figured the best route I could, but with random patrols..." He shrugs. "Stick close, try not to make noise, and if we do run across someone, take them down quietish." * Gordo doesn't add flash surpressors to the list, they're already there! Just wish there was a road through, yeah? * Montana hehs. "Yeah. Ready to go?" * Gordo checks his ammunition again and then nods. * Shiho nods solemnly. <@Brett> [Alysha nods.] * Sonia says flatly, "Ain't gettin' anywhere standing here." * Montana makes sure his silencer is hooked to his gun, then gets his move on. <@Brett> [Alysha follows! And after sniffing the air, Snitch does too. He's still there? Yes, yes he is.] * Shiho heads after him, ready to kill things and get out. * Gordo goes! <@Brett> ( Montana, gimme a stealth roll :D ) 2d6+10 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 13. (Do I need to DR that?) <@Brett> ( It's up to you. TN is 12, everyone else gets to make a stealth roll at +however much you beat it by. ) <@Brett> ( Which is +1 right now :P ) (Right, DR1) 2d6+10 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 12 and a modified 22, a CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Astonishing! May I borrow your pituitary gland for a moment? You'll get it back good as new, I promise!" (Better!) (Hot digity!) <@Brett> ( Hokay then :o ) 2d6+16 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+16 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 25. (Fear my 1 point in stealth) (So, that's body+stealth+montana!bonus?) 2d6+16 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+16 for Sonia and gets a natural 11 for a result of 27. (That's what I rolled) 2d6+17 2d6+14 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+17 for Shiho and gets a natural 6 for a result of 23. * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+14 for Nigel and gets a natural 9 for a result of 23. (Although, I don't think it's actually possible for the rest of us to fail this) (Monty's just that awesome) <@Brett> [Montana stealthily leads you through the junkyard, avoiding all manner of people who look like a cross between rebel bikers and clowns. They tend to wear black leathers combined with brightly colored clothes beneath, and have hairstyles that are colored, asymmetrical, mohawkish or non-existant. Most of them have multiple parts of their faces pierced, as well as badly-smudged makup.] <@Brett> [They're male and female, and it seems like half the town is here. They're patroling, but not well. Most of them are goofing off or playing pranks or having sex or something as you sneak by. But all of them have weapons close at hand.] * Sonia would make a funny remark, but they're being stealthy. (For what it's worth, I'm using my sound suppression, but.) <@Brett> [Montana is able to get you right to the edge of the junk yard, where the cracked remains of an inclined road lead to the facility's gates. Three of the goons are standing guard here, though one is distracted throwing rocks at a pidgeon.] * Sonia looks over at Montana, shrugs helplessly, and pulls out a cracker bead, rolling it between two fingers. * Montana surveys the area, looking for a way around them and trying to take count of anyone within hearing range. * Gordo waits as quietly as he can as he's proven bad at this nonsense. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 11 for a result of 17. (Sorry. I'm paying more attention now. I was in the middle of a hellish last minute panic when I realized I hadn't registered for or paid for a hotel room for the conference I'm supposed to be presenting at in less than a month) (Oops) * Montana then looks back at Sonia and nods, putting a finger to where his mouth should be. * Sonia shakes her head slightly to herself, looks around to make sure people are readyish, and then takes the few moments to aim her shot as best as possible before sending it at the cluster of guard goons. * Montana takes out his gun, checks again that it's silenced, and aims at one of the guards. (Aim, total attack.) (Sonic Bead.) <@Brett> ( Go 'head. ) 2d6+12 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+12 for Sonia and gets a natural 11 for a result of 23. <@Brett> [The bead goes boom, sending the guards reeling. They all manage to stagger to their feet, though. And behind you you hear an exciting roar and a pounding of feet as the rest of the junkyard mobilizes.] <@Brett> ( Anyone else who wants an attack can take it, else we go to init. ) (Go team!) * Gordo shoots a dood once because we're outa stealth now. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. * Shiho takes a stab at stabbing a guy! 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 6 for a result of 14. <@Brett> [Gordo somehow manages to miss the dude! Fortunately for him, Shiho doesn't. The guy clutches his chest as he drops to the ground.] * Nigel raises his crossbow and fires! 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 5 for a result of 12. * Montana fires at the guard he was aiming for. (Aim.) 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Montana and gets a natural 8 for a result of 16. <@Brett> [And between them Montana and Nigel finish off another one. There's only one left, a woman with a mohawk, bleeding from the forhead. Despite this, she laughs aloud and raises her crowbar, rushing at... <@Brett> d7 * Dicesuke rolls 1d7 for Brett and gets a natural 2 for a result of 2. <@Brett> ( Montana! ) (Well, fine then!) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 8 for a result of 14. <@Brett> [Montana does not get crowbar'd.] <@Brett> ( And I'm not going to bother with init :P Feel free to go again, you've got 5 chances to finish her :P ) 2 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 7 7 ) for a result of ( 13 13 ). <@Brett> [And Gordo puts two bullets through her heart.] * Montana stares briefly as she goes down, then waves for everyone to get moving as he makes a run for the facility. * Gordo starts running for the gate. "Which way Monty?" * Sonia doesn't look at her as she goes down in a spray of blood, instead lugging her way after Montana. <@Brett> [Alysha and Snitch follow, Snitch glancing backwards and pointing. "Is more!" Sure enough, the crazies are pouring out from everywhere, running your direction.] <@Brett> [You get to the top of the hill, finding the facility was surrounded by a wall, but the gate is long gone. Beyond a small parking lot, the glass doors of the place loom ominously.] * Sonia looks for the best chokepoint, then pulls out a second bead and says, "No following," as she drops it. (Quake Bead to make a crevasse.) (How big is the gateway?) <@Brett> ( Big enough for two cars to pass through! :D ) * Montana waits for everyone to catch up - he moves fast, but he's not the only one - and then makes for the running again, for the facility. "Gotta hide or stand at a choke point." <@Brett> [Meanwhile Sonia makes a large hole in the ground.] The hell's making a stand going to get us? The only calvery coming's theirs! * Shiho continues running silently with everyone else. <@Brett> [Alysha nods at Gordo. "We need to get inside."] * Nigel runs as well. "I agree. Let's just try to get inside as quickly as possible." <@Brett> [The goons are stopped at crevasse made by Sonia's bomb. but only briefly. They quickly start gathering junk from nearby to make a bridge. Or fill it in. Either way.] * Gordo runs for the big !friendy doorway. * Sonia says, in a near growl, "Only got so many of those. Keep moving." She doesn't seem winded or bothered by the running in the slightest. If anything, it seems easy for her. <@Brett> [The door has a big padlock on it. It's rusty, like it hasn't been opened in a long time.] (I will give you all a chance to be awesome and break it before I _punch it to death_.) * Montana tries just shooting the padlock off. (Yessss.) * Shiho starts to draw her gun, then just lets Montana do it. <@Brett> [The padlock is invincible and reflects bullets! Actually it just comes right off.] * Montana opens the door! At's one way. <@Brett> [The door opens, and Montana is hit in the face by stagnant air. Inside is a long dark corridor. Dark because all the lights are off.] <@Brett> [Behind you you can see the murderous horde fill the crevasse with junk and start crossing it.] Inside, everyone! * Montana certainly does get inside! * Gordo gets in. * Montana also tries to find a light switch, assuming the place still has power... which it might not. * Sonia nods and pulls out a second quake bead, rolling it down towards them. Hopefully it'll be more delaying! And then she gets with the getting inside. "All those insane people. Reminds me of home." * Shiho stays at the back until everyone's in, then slams the door shut and looks for something to block it with. Or a lock from the inside, that would also be convenient. <@Brett> [You get inside. Yay! Montana finds a light switch, but it doesn't work. Snitch squeaks. "Is need power." He points down at his feet. "That way!"] <@Brett> ( Shiho finds a crowbar! ) (Can I assume there are handles wide enough to slide the crowbar through and jam the door?) <@Brett> ( Yep! ) The basement? Okay. * Shiho blocks the door with the crowbar and looks around. Not very effectively, given that it's dark. * Montana looks to Sonia. "Y'want to take the lead, darlin'? You can see better than any of us." * Montana turns and helps Shiho with that crowbar, since he doesn't have so much of a problem with the darkness. I'll just stand here in the dark, shall I? Sure. Goin' down. * Sonia starts moving forward, sunglasses still on, sounding out the way down. "Grab a handfull of Monty's ass and follow, Gordo, I ain't got a light." * Montana sighs and hands Gordo a (very small) flashlight. The kind he uses to help him see - if he absolutely needs to - fine details. "There, now stop your whining." The smile's in his voice, though. And he heads after Sonia. Yes'sir! <@Brett> [Alysha follows, after a second cursing as she stubs her toe.] <@Brett> [Snitch squeaks!] * Gordo turns on the light so he can see his own damn feet and follows down. * Nigel sighs. "Hang on." He rips his shirt sleeve off and wraps the cloth around a couple of crossbow bolts before waving his hand over it to light it on fire. * Nigel then starts walking with his makeshift torch. * Shiho follows after the shiny lights. (So yeah, I'm trying to sound my way along Snitch's directions towards power.) <@Brett> [You start heading down the hall. As you reach the end, there's a loud thud on the doors. It persists a few times before stopping. It's not long before you encounter an elevator, but it's not working for some reason. Fortunately, Snitch points out some stairs a bit further in.] * Sonia nods, sounding her way to the stairs and down. "Why do we need power for the train," she state-asks. <@Brett> [Alysha says, "Hey, I was wondering that too."] <@Brett> [To which Snitch replies, "Is door. Heavy door have big lock. Not open in darks."] Yeah. What about automated security. Thinkin' we could cut through the door or blow it open? (Sorry, had to afk for a phone call) * Sonia shakes her head slightly. "Left my seige weapons in Zurich, boy." <@Brett> ["There probably isn't any," says Alysha. "This place is old. There's no one to watch the cameras, and even if there are bots, they couldn't be much older than first gen. They probably aren't even operational anymore.] And my welding kits in the hanger doing us no good. <@Brett> [Snitch leads you through the basement. It's dusty, with more than a few spider webs here and there.] * Sonia looks over at Alysha, then shrugs. "Who knows what a corp's thinking." Eeeeeeh, in theory this place was cleaned out. But in theory, there shouldn't be a fuckin' problem to begin with, yeah? * Montana brushes some cobwebs away. * Gordo looks around for the generators. <@Brett> [Alysha nods. "In theory. And Asahara was always further along in technology than the rest of the world..."] That's the stories, anyway. * Sonia chuckles slightly. "Oldtimers talkin' about boogeymen." <@Brett> [After leading you through a series of passage ways, Snitch pauses in front of a set of double doors at the end of a corridor. "Here. Is here. But... is scary place."] * Montana nods. "What makes it scary?" he asks Snitch. <@Brett> [Is for big part. Snitch is small part. Other thing small part. This," he gestures at the door. "Big part. For science peoples."] * Montana blinks at that, then looks to the others to see if they understood. * Sonia shrugs. "Musta been the big project for the place? Don't know why the power's back there." <@Brett> [Alysha catchs that look. "Whatever is inside here, this is what the facility was built for."] There anything left in there but bad memories? <@Brett> ["A generator, maybe."] Well. Only one way to find out. * Montana moves forward and opens one of the doors. <@Brett> [Behind the door is...] * Nigel readies his crossbow in the hand that doesn't have a torch. <@Brett> [A dark room :P] * Sonia has sonic senses 10 meters deep into it, easy! * Gordo has a small flashlight to wave around the room in tandem with his gun. <@Brett> [But with what little light you have you can see a few things. Some desks, a REALLY old computer, a generator next to one wall, and at the far wall a large tube. It seems to be filled with some sort of brownish-yellow liquid that's gotten thick and stagnant with time. There's something inside it, but you can't make it out.] (Infra or sonic pick up anything interesting beyond that?) * Gordo makes his way over to the generator. (Hey Brett, does fuel still go bad after a few months without being stirred in the future?) (One hopes it isn't a gasoline generator.) <@Brett> ( Try it and see :D ) (Clearly it's a minireactor) <@Brett> ( Actually it's hamster operated ) * Gordo starts to wipe the dust off. "What we have here?" (Hamsters would def. be dead by now, poor things) <@Brett> [Sure is dusty.] <@Brett> [Gordo spreads dust everywhere.] (It's okay, we've got Snitch to replace it.) * Montana walks in a bit and peers at the tube. "Uh, looks like there was a human in there or something... ain't alive any more, though." * Montana is unbothered by dust! * Gordo sneazes. "Not my problem. Chist how'd so much dirt get in here?" * Sonia heads over to the generator. "Falls out of the air." <@Brett> ( Anyone looking at the generator... ) <@Brett> ( mechanics roll :D ) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. * Montana moves over to the computer and wipes dust off of it. * Shiho looks around idly. <@Brett> [Between the two of them, Gordo and Sonia manage to get the generator working. Meanwhile, Montana cleans off the computer screen. It's one of those really old ones where the computer and monitor were actually seperate devices. With the computer being this box-shaped thing and the monitor looking like a flat screen TV. Neanderthals.] * Nigel wanders around the room, moving the torch around to illuminate different areas so that he can see. (Hey, at least it's a flatscreen!) <@Brett> [As the power turns on, so do the lights, and everything starts up with a humm. The computer prompts: ASAHARA Station 1A. Username: _________ Password: __________. <@Brett> [And the tank starts humming, the liquid inside it slowly being drained.] * Montana blinks at the screen. "Huh." (Is that the thing with the maybe-human in it?) * Nigel moves over to the computer and looks it over. "You need some help?" <@Brett> [Alysha peers at the computer, too. "Hey Nigel. Think you can do something with this?"] <@Brett> ( Yep ) (Swap those) I can do a little bit of hacking, but yeah, I think you'd have better luck than I would. * Sonia looks at the container and frowns. "See, that's what I'm talking about. Systems picking up." * Montana moves so Nigel can access the computer. Hey, ancient stuff is his specialty. Yeah, 's why we gotta keep it down. * Nigel sits down in front of the computer. * Gordo stands up and wipes his hands on his pants. "Ahh old engines..." * Montana moves to look at the tube, now that it's draining. Too bad it doesn't go anywhere. (afk a minute) 2d6+11 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+11 for Nigel and gets a natural 5 for a result of 16. <@Brett> [It's surprisingly difficult to hack the computer, between ancient protection methods and ancient coding. Not unlike trying to translate a dead language. Nevertheless, Nigel succeeds. The computer contains two folders: "LOGS" and "Project_S"] (back) <@Brett> [Alysha peers over Nigel's shoulder.] * Nigel looks back at Alysha. "What do you suppose we should look at first. miss?" (... Project_S. o_o) <@Brett> ["Logs, I guess."] * Nigel shrugs and opens the logs. (Thankfully, I have no idea what that means.) (It's all Sonia's fault) <@Brett> [There's a bunch of video files in here on .mv6, an recording coding system. The earliest one is dated July 17th, 2037.] (Or Shiho's) * Gordo fusses over the engine a bit longer to make sure it's got enough fuel to keep running for a bit. "We good to move on?" * Nigel shakes his head. "We probably don't have time to watch these all." (Do I have any means of saving these files for later use?) <@Brett> [Snitch nods, but Alysha says, "Hang on." To Nigel, she says, "Let's just pick out a few."] * Nigel nods. "All right." He plays the first one. <@Brett> ( Nope. This computer won't support any means of file transfer you might have :P ) (Bummer) (Sounds like we pick it up and take it with us.) * Shiho starts paying attention to the computer once it starts doing something. Movie time! <@Brett> [A webcam image pops up, of a Japanese-looking doctor in the same room you're in now, albeit less dusty.] * Sonia looks over at the tube and then walks towards the door, not watching the screen. "How long you gonna screw around in here?" (Can I see what's in the tube yet?) <@Brett> [He starts speaking! In Japanese. Luckily Alysha is there to translate! I guess Shiho could if she wasn't. But she is, so!] <@Brett> ( Nope! ) * Montana calls over, "Could probably just copy it to a portable drive or somethin'." * Nigel shakes his head. "Sadly, no. Not something this old." That's why god gave us arms. * Gordo makes his way to the bunch huddled around the computer. "Not to complain overmuch, but there is an angry mob above us somewhere." <@Brett> ["This is Doctor Katsumori Moto. The date is July 17th, 2037. We are now operational. Work on this facility began 15 years ago, but of course we had to give the public time to get acustomed before we could finish the... the parts best kept from their view. We had to gain their trust."] <@Brett> ["Following --" Alysha pauses, "I want to know what this is. What this facility is for, and why the ESO did such a poor cleanup job. This can help."] So let's take it on the train with us. <@Brett> [She starts again, "Following the loss of Director Nagawa and severe damage to the facilities in Japan, we decided to transfer all research on Project S to this remote location. The local Serbians need work, so it was easy to procure a plant. The setback will be difficult to recover from. I must get Project S back on track within a limited window, or... I don't want to think about that." The <@Brett> file ends.] <@Brett> [Alysha points at a random file, Aug 15th, 2042. "Try that."] * Nigel nods and plays it. * Montana paces a bit, then moves to the doorway, looking out. <@Brett> ["This is Doctor Katsumori Moto. The date is August 15th, 2042, and I've just received terrible news. Director Lau is dead. Already there's a power vaccuum. The directors of other regions are vying for control, some of the plants are going independant, and rumor has is Zukunft is preparing to swoop in and seize Asahara assets for themselves." The doctor pauses, sighing heavily. Alysha pauses <@Brett> too, waiting for him to go on.] * Gordo goes back to futzing with the generator. <@Brett> ["This is disasterous. I'm going to try to continue the project, but without Asahara's assets, without direction.... Can I even succeed in reviving Project S in time?" File Ends.] <@Brett> [Alysha wiggles her finger around the screen before picking out another file. October 12th, 2045.] * Nigel plays it. * Shiho mutters, "I've seen this movie, and it ends in zombies." <@Brett> ["This is Doctor Katsumori Moto. The date is October 12th, 2045. I've recieved news that Director Lau's top scientist, Akira Shibamura, and some of the other major Asahara figures are rallying behind Director Valmont of the American branch. They haven't contacted me yet. If they do, should I go? Funding is running out, but... I fear they may not see the big picture, the importance of Project S. <@Brett> I must try to complete this project at all costs! If I fail..." He pauses.] <@Brett> ["Maybe... Maybe I can run some side projects to generate funds. We've got some lab rats still. And of course, the townspeople. This place is remote, no one will come asking questions." File Ends.] <@Brett> [Alysha glances at Snitch briefly.] <@Brett> [Snitch us busy watching the tank rather than the computer. The water's draining so slowly. He squeaks. "Is slow. Is cloggy pipe?"] * Montana looks over at Snitch. "One way to put it. There's a body in there." <@Brett> [Alysha picks out another file, "Try this one."] * Nigel nods and plays. "You're the boss." Boss. we really should get going. <@Brett> ["This is Doctor Katsumori Moto. The Date..." He pauses, closing his eyes. He looks tired and old at this point. "The Date is June 22nd, 2056. It's over. The Holy European Supernatural Organization is on its way. The world is doomed, all because of some stupid college kids in Japan. I did... I did what I could." He pauses, and Alysha says, "In a second," in the interm.] * Nigel shakes his head. "We should have a look at that Project S folder before we go." * Sonia looks away from the door. "Well, we're sure as hell taking it with us." (Those darn kids, and their naginata too!) No? (Gah, ignore that) (I misparsed) <@Brett> ["I let the rats go. They'll all die anyway. All of them are just mutants I couldn't sell... Well, almost all. One showed surprising aptitude for mechanics. I hope... I hope he survives." Pause. "Zukunft got a copy of the Project S research. I know they'll use it. Probably to make some sort of super psychic. But they don't understand the reason. They don't understand WHY I had to continue it <@Brett> . I... He takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes.] <@Brett> ( Should be quotes after that "I..." ) <@Brett> ["I did what I could. He's not ready, but it'll have to be enough. I arranged a deal with an officer of HESO: I give myself up, give him the funds I made, and he'll make sure the teams don't poke around too closely. Maybe... Maybe there's a chance he's strong enough. Maybe I did right. Strong enough to...." File ends.] <@Brett> ( Gimme soul rolls, except Shiho. ) <@Brett> ( Actually ) <@Brett> You can make it Soul Rolls or Mind rolls. <@Brett> ( OOC :X ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 10 for a result of 15. 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 8 for a result of 13. (Hm, okay!) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. <@Brett> [Meanwhile the tank drains enough to reveal a head! A brown-headed Japanese kid about 19 years old stares out at you with empty purple eyes. His body's surprisingly well preserved. Must be whatever that liquid was.] <@Brett> ( Oh um, tell me if you're using mind or soul though ) (mind) (Mind) * Shiho steps between Alysha and the tube. "Boss, against the wall, now." She pulls out her gun and fires at the tube. (Soul.) * Gordo points his gun at the tank. "The fuck?" * Montana just sort of stares. "What... it's a kid?" <@Brett> [Alysha does as she's told, a look of shock on her face. Snitch squeaks and dives to the ground as Shiho shoots the tube. The glass cracks easily, the whatever-liquid running onto the ground. The body inside doesn't react.] * Shiho continues firing at the body. * Sonia looks over at Shiho. "What the fuck are we doing here--" Hey, hey! * Montana moves to push Shiho out of killing the body, or whatever it is. "It's just a kid!" 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. <@Brett> [Shiho puts several bullets into it, blood mixing with the containment liquid. The body doesn't react, the same dead look on its face.] (That was mind. Sorry was distracted) <@Brett> ["A.." Alysha's voice catches in her throat. She tries again, "And dead. He's already dead."] Well, yeah, he was stuck underwater for fifty fucking years. Are we done panicing? Can we pick up the computer and get to the train? * Shiho holsters her gun. "The guy on the tape hoped whatever that was was strong enough to 'kill the Johnson girl'." That's the most senseable thing I've heared tonight. I wasn't going to take chances that it was alive and going to pop out at us. ... What? Okay, right. Right. Can we go now? * Gordo nods at Sonia. "Her, not you." <@Brett> [Alysha swallows and nods. "Y... Yeah, let's go."] We still bringing the computer to hook it up with an antique monitor, yeah? <@Brett> [Suddenly the generator shorts!] * Nigel shakes his head. "Hang on.... " Then pauses. "Um... Miss Johnson, he couldn't have been talking about you. Or if he was, you look quite good at fifty." <@Brett> [The lights go out. But then the generator is back on, and the ligths with them.] Bloody hell. <@Brett> [But now the body's gone.] * Montana looks at the not-a-body, then looks at Shiho. "Think you made him mad." Five'll get you ten that was whatever grabbed that guy last night. Let's get the fuck out of here. * Sonia walks over to the computer, to grab it up and sling it over her shoulder. "Give it enough wire and time, you can hook up anything to anything." <@Brett> [Alysha looks at Nigel, clearly spooked. "Who else would it be?"] Fucking son of a... <@Brett> [The computer is both heavy and awkward to carry! Friggin' neanderthal designs.] * Sonia exhales and mutters, "Might have more metal in it than I do." Boss, stay in the center of the group, okay? <@Brett> [Alysha nods slowly.] You're fine. We've got you. * Shiho stays to the rear, as she usually does. * Gordo keeps his gun at the ready and starts to move twords Alysha while watching the shadows. "Let's just concentrate on getting out." (AFK to feed cats) <@Brett> [I'ma call it here. End!]
