<@Brett> [Date: Monday, March 28th. Time: 5:30 p.m. Location: Somewhere between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.] <@Brett> [Where as Hassan Ford and his security force left for Abu Dahbi hours ago, Alysha decided to stick around and go shopping, and that pretty much meant the rest of you did too, like it or not. You're making better time anyway via chopper. Alysha's doing her usual thing on her holocomputer, dressed in a dress shirt and pants, wearing her hair unbound. There's still some time before you get to the <@Brett> city, and more so before the operation begins.] <@Brett> [Not sure if I forgot anything, so....] <@Brett> [Start!] <@Brett> ( And you can gimme mind rolls if you like. ) (How was the dinner with Shiho and Rebecca?) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 8 for a result of 13. 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Shiho and gets a natural 4 for a result of 9. * Ardweden (ardweden@173-16-137-10.client.mchsi.com) has joined #mc5 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia` and gets a natural 4 for a result of 9. (rollin' good) <@Brett> ( Delicious if you like Middle Eastern food, entertaining if you like talking about weapons, combat techniques or the hard life of an Asian American. ) (Awesome. Shiho has a new friend!) <@Brett> ( They can trade stories about how much they hate their bosses. ) (Yes) <@Brett> [Alysha tap-tap-taps on her computer. "Ughh. I wish Nigel was here so he could just forge Hassan's signature. The man's impossible do deal with."] * Shiho looks up from the tv. "Is that something Nigel does?" Doesn't seem his style, unless you're talking about some other Hassan from a few thousand years ago. <@Brett> ["Electronically? I'm sure he could. Just like I'm sure I could convince the emirs to buy our goods if I wasn't a woman." She pauses and looks up from her computer. "You didn't think blowing up a single factory was the extens of my plans, did you?"] <@Brett> ( That s was a d before. It's supposed to be a t though. I fale at spellink ) Ma'am thinking about your plans just makes my head hurt. <@Brett> Alysha grins. "Good! That means MMO won't have thought of them either." * Sonia` chuckles lowly, twirling a strand of straightened hair around one finger and glancing to her suitcase. "Usually it's better to just play at crazy than be it." * Shiho turns her attention back to the television, idly braiding bits of her hair while she watches. <@Brett> Alysha grins wider. "Actually there are a large number of things in this universe that are impossible to understand unless you're a certain degree of crazy. But I won't get into that. We should probably talk about the operation."] * Gordo clears his throat, "Ahm, speaking of headaches if we're going to keep traveling by small helecopter and you're going to keep growing yer hair out, you might want to keep it braided or in a bun or the like." (Is Gordo talking at me or Alysha?) (Alysha mostly) Good point. <@Brett> [Alysha shakes her head. "I like it straight. It fits me better." She grins. "Like wearing a cape! Sort of.... Maybe...?" She glances out the window. "I was wondering when someone would notice." Maybe you could just tie it back when we're traveling. Tieing it down's all I'm worried about, don't want it caught in anything's all I'm saying. <@Brett> ["Well, it's not like I'm going to be marching into battle."] * Sonia` snorts and says, "We all notice, girl, but most people like us keep their eyes on the road." * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Client closed connection) <@Brett> ( >.> ) (Hotel interwebs must have hiccuped. Speaking of which, how closely are you watching the incoming weather Brett?) * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #mc5 (Rehi) <@Brett> ( Close enough. There's a hurricane on the way, but we won't see signs til Sunday. ) (Yeah, that's why I'm getting out at 6 AM on Monday.) (Ah, good. The reports from the weather service we're seeing make it look like it's going to be a really bad one.) <@Brett> ["Speaking of..." Says Alysha, and a few taps on her keyboard opens up an image of a factory, presumably the one you're about to attack. It's a long rectangular building in a section full of long rectangular buildings. <@Brett> ( It's looking that way, yeah. They say we might get flooding here again x.z ) (I'm traveling tomorrow and Monday, I hope the storm isn't too bad up here...) * Sonia` leans in slightly to look over her glasss at the factory image. <@Brett> ( It's already cloudy with high winds here ) * Shiho turns off the tv and looks at the display. * Gordo has probably seen this part at least, unless Alysha handed him a set of co-ordinates and said fly here. <@Brett> ["I'm thinking we can have Hassan's men create a diversion out front. While the guards investigate, you can sneak in and sabotage the production lines. And more importantly, get into the main office." Alysha looks at everyone. "If my information is correct, it's no coincidence MMO suddenly took up an interest in Abu Dhabi. I think they might be after the jewels as well."]] * Sonia` nods slightly, with a slight wry smile. "The company and your side mission too." <@Brett> ["Specifically, the earring." She pops up a smaller image, in case you forgot, lifted from the datacube Rowlins gave here. It shows a silver earring with a bright green stone.] <@Brett> [Alysha nods. "I'm all about effeciency! Besides, I don't know that they actually have it. But they suddenly decide to set up here as soon as information about the earring surfaces? Sounds fishy to me." She leans back. "Anyhow, see what you can find."] * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Client closed connection) <@Brett> ( ._. ) * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #mc5 Makes me wish Monty could be in two places at once. * Sonia` shrugs. "Ruin production, steal records. Don't take a boy to get that done." <@Brett> [Alysha grins. "Don't worry, he's got his hands full too."] <@Brett> ( You all caught up Mecha? ) (Yeah.) We've got this handled. <@Brett> [Alysha grins. "I knew I could count on you."] * Sonia` 's face gets a slight frown on it a moment before she adjusts her glasses and shakes her head. "Yeah, yeah." <@Brett> ( We can ff when you're ready ) (Go head) (sure!) * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Client closed connection) <@Brett> ( <.< ) (orz) <@Brett> ( orz ) (Man, hotel interwebs suck) <@Brett> ( Is the hotel just periodically kicking him off? ) * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #mc5 (Probably just shitty wifi connection) <@Brett> [Time: 9:00 p.m. Location: Outside the factory.] * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Client closed connection) <@Brett> [Some time later, you head to the fact.......................... orz (agggh) <@Brett> ( By the way, has anyone been logging? ) (oh, btw, I will be absent the 9th) (I've got one) <@Brett> ( Mecha usually does, but... ) (I'm always logging.) <@Brett> ( Ok, good ) (It's not like it eats up my harddrive or anything, so) <@Brett> ( Since everyone's here anyone, there will be a session next week. ) (Awesome) (Sorry about missing last week by the way, my cancelled plans to go see the Madoka movie suddenly got uncanceled) * Sonia` (me@66-87-84-178.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #mc5 (fdkjfdhsjkhsjk) (I am so jealous!!!!!! I had to work every night it was showing!!!!) <@Brett> ( ._. ) (My body at home is logging.) (Rolf.) <@Brett> ( Yay ) (Madokaaaaa) (I think there's a showing in LA tonight) (I am pretty sure that by the time I get from NYC to LA, I will be out a ton of money and it will be too late.) (I know it'll be out on Blu Ray soon enough, but still) <@Brett> [Some time later, you find yourselves in a van, parked across the street from the factory. Harold and Robert McCaul are there with you. Alysha is not, having opted to stay at the hotel with Hassan, guarded by Rebecca and Louie.] <@Brett> ( It's only 5 hours. ) (It's pretty much just the TV show with a little bit of added animation in the transformation sequences, better scene transitions, and a couple new scenes of Homura moping in a graveyard before the episode 10 flashback) (Movie 3 will be all new though) (Oh, and Miki has a new hairclip) (I know, if I miss the third one I may beat my head against the wall.) (Yes, stay out of danger Alysha! Good boss.) (I'm so proud of her!) <@Brett> [The McCauls are readying their gear. "So we draw all the attention and you sneak in the back? Sounds like we got the short straw."] * Sonia` is at the wheel, because she's a wheelwoman. "You wanna stay hidden, specialize in movin' and hidin'." Orders is as orders does. <@Brett> [One of the McCauls (It's really hard to tell which is which if you can't remember who's bald and who isn't) sighs and says, "Yeah, but these orders suck."] The orders always suck. * Sonia` grins slightly to herself. "If they didn't, they'd be doin' em." Right? <@Brett> [The other McCaul says, "Fine. We'll keep 'em busy as long as we can. Just don't take too long in there."] * Gordo nods. Sure thing <@Brett> [The two McCauls poise themselves at the doors. "Ready when you are."] Your show Sonia. * Sonia` nods and says, with a slightly predatory grin, "You want me to stop and let you out, or you just want to roll?" <@Brett> ["Stop the van. Best not to start off already injured."] * Sonia` chuckles and pulls up near to the factory, so the boys don't have far to run. <@Brett> [The McCauls get out. "We'll give you two minutes to get into position. Then the fireworks start."] * Sonia` nods. "2 minutes." And then, once the door's closed, she heads around to the back, taking a few moments to be a little circuitous. "Everyone ready?" * Shiho nods with a hand on her sword hilt. "Good to go." * Gordo does a quick pat check for his pistol, ammo, and a few other tools. "Aye." * Sonia` pulls around to their entrance point, then! Hopefully they are unbothered before she parks the van quick on the street. * Sonia` then pushes her door open the second they're stopped. "Hup hup." <@Brett> [You get to the back of the factory. There's two guys out back, who you see by a light above a door. Gimme sight and hearing checks.] (Seperate rolls?) <@Brett> ( Yep ) <@Brett> ( Do sight first just so I don't hurt my brain. ) 2 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 3 7 ) for a result of ( 8 12 ). 2 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural ( 6 6 ) for a result of ( 13 13 ). 2 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+6 for Sonia` and gets a natural ( 11 4 ) for a result of ( 17 10 ). (If sonics apply, sonics apply woooo.) <@Brett> ( Man.... How awkward. ) <@Brett> ( Shiho made both, Gordo made hearing, Sonia made sight ._. ) <@Brett> [Ok then. Shiho and Sonia notice a camera above the door. They also see the two men (both armed and clearly security forces) looking at it.] <@Brett> [Shiho and Gordo hear them speaking! ...... But I forgot neither of them speaks Russian. Oopsie.] (How do they sound? Bored? Angry? Confused?) <@Brett> ( Confused. ) <@Brett> [And then there's an explosion from the front of the factory, followed by gunfire.] * Sonia` says, lowly, trying to look casual, "And there we are. Let's see how they jump." (Ah, right, I was going to buy a flash surpressor for the gun at some point.) * Gordo nods and waits to see what the guards do. <@Brett> [The men do jump, alright, and oddly enough open the door and head inside, instead of making their way around front like you'd think. One pulls out a hand radio as he enters, shouting Russian into it.] * Sonia` pulls out her sonic pistol as they head doorward and aims at it, saying lowly, "Jam the door, Shiho." (at it being the camera) (WESSA GONNA BREAK A CAMERA) (BREAK STUFF!) (I'm going to take a shot at the camera, Brett.) (Howww do I do that?) <@Brett> ( Ok. It's a +3 ) (I feel like I'm misunderstanding something, or missing something.) <@Brett> ( Put your foot in the door I guess? ._. ) (The guards at the back door ran inside when things started to explode, your job is to make sure the door doesn't swing shut behind them and lock us out, and then keep it open for when we run away.) (That makes sense! Sorry, I was thinking along the lines of, "Jam it shut," followed by, that makes no sense I must be getting this wrong.) (Heh, sorry.) 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Sonia` and gets a natural 10 for a result of 18. * Shiho starts to run to the door as Sonia raises her gun. * Gordo hustles like a guy who has not spent enough time hustling! <@Brett> [Sonia blasts the camera! If they spoke Russian, they'd have known it wasn't working right anyway, but oh well! Meanwhile Shiho makes it to the door before it can slam shut and props it open.] (Shiho: Practically a Ninja. If Ninjas Propped Open Doors.) (It will go on all her business cards.) (An excellent resume.) <@Brett> [Outside you can hear bullets, but inside... It's oddly quiet, though you can hear the shuffling of boots on concrete and the occasional Russian shout. You can't see anything though, because A) it's dark and B), there's a maze of shipping containers in front of you.] (I have sonics: I should be able to 'see' within its 10 meter range without difficulty.) * Gordo puts on his handy dandy night vision goggles. (Boxes make me think of Ten. Just sayin'.) (I have blind fighting, so I am good if any boxes or Russians attack me directly.) <@Brett> [Gordo can see more boxes! And Sonia sees the production line, shortly beyond the crates.] (I too have blind fighting.) (Didn't you just love those rooms you had to physically drag her out of? And deal with her begging people to open them for her?) (I don't!) * Sonia` comms, lowly, "Production line's over the crates. C'mon through the maze." She tries to lead the others through the maze." * Gordo follows Sonia! <@Brett> [You head through the maze! And surprisingly, there's no soldiers or zombies in there to attack you. It's not long til you get to the production line, which is basically robots and a convayer belt.] * Sonia` nods slightly and looks around. "Where they keepin' the data?" * Gordo glances around, but unless one of the robots is _wearing_ the earring he doesn't expect to find it... zombies and guards he does kinda expect. Think they've a manager's office? <@Brett> ( Alysha seemed to think so o/~ ) Gotta keep 'em somewhere. * Shiho mutters, "Why is it so dark in here? There should be low lights or something at least..." Boys out front blew the breakers? (We are looking for an office!) <@Brett> [It's too dark to see one!] (Uhm, 2/3 of us can see in the dark.) <@Brett> ( Oop ) * Sonia` points up and says, "Catwalk office, up off the workfloor." * Sonia` goes to find a way upstairs. * Gordo looks. "Good view from up there." * Gordo looks for the stairs as the freight elevators are probably out of service. * Shiho follows along closely <@Brett> [You find stairs not far away! Gordo and Sonia gimme sight rolls. Shiho at +6 (You mean -6, right?) <@Brett> ( Right! ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia` and gets a natural 2 and a modified 8, 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..." (damn you dice) (Can I DR her out of that? I forget.) <@Brett> ( Not other people's. ) <@Brett> ( Or crits in general. ) (I'll try it on my own slightly below average roll then.) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 11. (I feel so average.) <@Brett> [Gordo notices nothing unusual. Sonia spots zombies in the offices! Or are they?] * Sonia` grimaces and says, as she heads up, "Ugly shit in the office," hands tightening on her gun. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6-6 for Shiho and gets a natural 5 for a result of -1. * Sonia` looks over to Shiho and adds, "Lemme know when you can actually see, I'm not supposed to be your pointwoman." * Gordo chambers a round. "I can't see 'em yet." Not my fault. <@Brett> [You head up the catwalk. It leads past several offices in that corner of the building. All have their doors closed. Sonia can't be sure, but some of them may have people in them.] (But the lights are all off in them?) <@Brett> ( Yep ) * Sonia` frowns and says, "Gonna have to sweep 'em up fast." She looks to Gordo. "You wanna hand Shiho your goggles? She's gonna be the best at this. We can catch 'em as she pushes the suits out." Unless they're really ugly. Then... she still needs to be able to see. I can't see shit in here without 'em. Is that you volunteering to check the offices? * Sonia` shrugs with a shoulder. "Sounds like it." It's that or sit on my arse. * Sonia` nods a little and looks to Shiho. "Guess that means you keep the runners from doin' anything stupid. Let's move, clock's tickin'." * Gordo checks for doors with signs on, but it'd probably be too much to hope that the cryllic for "Manager" or "Data Center" look like their English equivelents. <@Brett> [Sho'nuff. It's all in Russian.] * Gordo shrugs and tries to sneak into door #1. Hopefully the zombies don't have nightvision. <@Brett> [As Gordo opens the door, he's suddenly confronted by the end of the session.]
