* Sonia` drives after them! Annoying.
<@Brett> ["There's something you should know," Ice says as they give chase.  "The technology in my car is cutting edge.  Kind of experiemental.  And kind of illegal."]
<Sonia`> No kidding. I was there for some of it, you know.
<@Brett> ["But not all of it.  I'm talking nanomachines."]
<Sonia`> (... Brett, Dreamer is a nanite car. )
<Sonia`> (The four of them made that tech set _together_.)
<@Brett> ( And also highly experimental! :| )
* Sonia` rolls her eyes. "Yes, you're always talking nanomachines."
<@Brett> ( Ok, well let me rephrase that then :| )
<@Brett> ( As soon as I figure out how. :| )
<@Brett> ( Ok, forget the nanite bit :| )
<@Brett> [Instead we'll go with! "It's like your car.  Alive."]
<@Brett> [She looks towards her escaping car.  "Sort of.  Sophisticated AI. Like in that Neo Knight Rider show from the 80s."]
* Sonia` glances over at Ice slightly, surprised, then back forward to continue chasing. "Guess it was just a matter of time. DIdn't figure you'd ever want to give up the wheel, though."
<@Brett> [She shrugs. "It can react faster than I can.  It can react faster than anyone can."]
* Sonia` chuckles a little. "Alright. Fine. Then how'd I tie you?"
<@Brett> [Ice smirks. "It's smart enough to make bad decisions sometimes, too."]
* Sonia` smiles just slightly. Zoom zoom zoom!
<@Brett> [Ice frowns as they give chase. "She must know we're here. What's she doing?"]
<Sonia`> Probably leading us to her allies.
<@Brett> ( Gimme a body roll + driving, Sonia )
<@Brett> [Without warning the car abruptly turns down an alley! And the van follows, whether Sonia likes it or not.]
* Sonia` grits her teeth as she follows. "Ugh, driving this brick."
<@Brett> [Ice scowls. "Are you sure you can even handle this?"]
<Sonia`> You sure you can not lose your damn car?
<@Brett> [Ice sideglances at Sonia. "Could you lose yours?"]
<Sonia`> Just keep complaining.
<Sonia`> (Seriously, where is Dreamer. We wanna intersect!)
<@Brett> [They drive to Victoria's Peak, the big mountain in the center of Hong Kong, and get to the overlook when Dreamer finally shows up.]
<Sonia`> (OKay, so ideally we'd have Dreamer try to cut her off.)
<@Brett> ( You can try! )
<Sonia`> (I WILL.) 
<Sonia`> (How do I roll to do it?)
<@Brett> ( I'm thinking body + driving )
<Sonia`> (better)
<@Brett> [Ice's car skids to a halt as Dreamer cuts it off!]
* Sonia` hisses and says, "I can't fight her, Ice. Can you get this?)
<@Brett> [Ice nods as she gets out of the van. "Wouldn't be the first time."]
<@Brett> ( That she had to fight someone. Not Nyssa specifically :| )
<@Brett> [Nyssa gets out, too.  In case you forgot, she's a realtively average looking woman with her hair in long dreadlocks. And aside from a black trenchcoat, she's completely naked.  If by naked, you mean made of metal.  The only part of her that even looks human anymore is her head, and even that has two cybernetic eyes. And apparently wires mixed in with her dreadlocks.  The rest of her is an 
<@Brett> armored exoskeleton.]
* Sonia` comms what she commed.
* Sonia` gives directions and withdraws her weapons. Just in case.
<@Brett> [Frost forms around ice's hands, but Nyssa takes cover behind her car.  Annnnd.....]
<@Brett> ( Gimme a soul roll for Dreamer, + any mindshield. )
<@Brett> [Without warning Dreamer suddenly darts around fthe side of Ice's car, barrelling right for her.  Her eyes widen, but she manages to throw herself to the side as Dreamer goes barrelling past.]
* Sonia` curses and comms, ~C'mon, Dreamer, gonna need you to function.~
<@Brett> [Ice starts to get up, and throws a blast of frost at Nyssa (who's bleeding from a head wound, incidentally).  Nyssa is able to avoid, and counters by firing a shot from her hand, which Ice deflects with an ice shield.]
<@Brett> [Dreamer's having a hrd time with that.. Systems seem to be malfunctioning.]
<Sonia`> (I'll take a potshot at Nyssa.)
<@Brett> ( Okay! )
<Sonia`> (shoots)
<@Brett> [Sonia hits Nyssa with a sonic blast!  She staggers from the impact, and then Ice follows through by freezing part of her left arm.]
<@Brett> [Nyssa scowls, and then Sonia needs to make a Soul roll + any mind shield]
<@Brett> [Sonia feels her body rebelling against her! Her limbs start trying to move in ways she doesn't want, her sight dims and her hearing begins to go.  It's all she can do to keep control.]
<@Brett> [She does manage to see Ice avoid another shot, and Nyssa avoid another blast.]
* Sonia` fights for her own body! Awkward!
<@Brett> [It is! Especially since she could feel her hand with the gun in it trying to pull itself Ice's way.]
<@Brett> ( Speaking of which, gimme another soul roll + mind shield )
<@Brett> [The good news is Sonia keeps her body from acting against her will.  The bad news is that her body stops acting at all.  For what feels like an eternity, she's unable to move, see, or hear anything.]
<@Brett> ( Which gives me an excuse to let the others get here without messing up time too much :| )
<@Brett> [Eventually, everything comes back all at once though!  Which may or may not be a good thing, since the first thing she sees it Natsuki Kirishima's face, who's shaking her. "Hey! Hey!"]
* Sonia` is shaken! She comms, ~Dreamer?~ a bit woozily as she looks at Natsuki. "What...?"
<@Brett> [Dreamer reports being all right! Yay!]
<@Brett> [Less alright is Ice's car.  It's on fire.  Ice herself is propped up against a tree on the side of the road, bleeding from a dozen wounds, dried tears on her face.  Tilda is looking after her.  (also apparently they arrived in a fancy convertible).  Nyssa is nowhere to be seen.]
<@Brett> ["What happened here?" Natsuki asks. "We were coming back from a... um, thing, and we saw someone running away."]
<Sonia`> We were... tryin' to get Ice's car back. Nyssa got control of me.
<@Brett> [Natsuki frowns. "That bitch... Wait, she can DO that?"]
* Sonia` stands up and says Dreamer should get here.
<Sonia`> Not perfect.
<@Brett> [Dreamer gets there!]
<Sonia`> But she managed to lock me down.
<@Brett> [Natsuki shivers. "I didn't know. That's scary!" Then she glances towards Ice and Tilda. "Um.... Your friend's not doing so hot."]
<Sonia`> (How bad is the car 'on fire'?)
<@Brett> [Pretty bad.  It looks wrecked.  And there's bits lying around it rather then in/on it.]
* Sonia` shakes her head and says, sadly, "She'll live. The car'll take more work."
* Sonia` then looks at Natsuki and Tilda. "What the hell put you two here?"
<@Brett> [Tilda looks up from where she's tending to Ice. "She may not."]
<@Brett> [Natsuki waves her arms. "Like I said, we were coming back from a thing and found this mess!"]
* Sonia` jogs over to Tilda. "Yeah, a thing. What kinda thing?" She moves over to Ice and looks for anything obvious she can help with.
<@Brett> ["A job," Tilda says simply. Annnd.... gimme a medical (diagnosis) Sonia.]
<Sonia`> (Diagnosis! My specialty!)
<@Brett> ["She wrecked him," Ice says, staring at her car.  "She wrecked my baby."]
<@Brett> [Ice is bleeding from numerous gunshots and lacerations.  Tilda's right, she may not live.]
* Sonia` comms a few things, then says, sharply, "Stay focused, Ice. We can put it back together."
<@Brett> [Ice grins at Sonia. "'Couldn't do it.... Couldn't beat her.  I always win.... not fair..."]
<@Brett> ( And back to main chan. )
