[02:41] <GM> * The echoing roar of the rotors and scraping of metal on concrete deafen you all as Jordan makes his final shots for life... * [02:42] <GM> * There is another spark from the drone and it sways madly again, only this time smashing into the roof of the tunnel -- sending it careening against the wall where it explodes, showering shards of metal everywhere. * [02:42] <GM> * Everyone roll body. *

[02:43] <GM> * Jordan, you feel a burning in your leg. * [02:43] * Jordan grunts [02:43] <GM> * Saburo, your shoulder jerks as the tunnel is lit up by a flash. * [02:43] * Saburo swears in Japanese. [02:44] <Jordan> "You said it..." [02:44] <GM> * You both catch some shrapnel. * [02:44] <GM> * L wounds. Cauterized. * [02:44] <Saburo> (( which shoulder? I'm right handed. )) [02:44] <GM> * Right shoulder. * [02:44] <GM> * The drone burns, crashes, and dies -- and there's a lot of smoke as water drips into the tunnel from the Sound above, fighting the fire. * [02:45] <GM> * What now? * [02:45] <GM> * You got an unconcious doc, a van with 3 tires, and two wounded men, one stunned. * [02:45] <Saburo> "Stop." [02:45] <Saburo> "We need to ditch the van." [02:45] * Nixie stops [02:45] <Nixie> "Good... I don't want to drive this thing anyways" [02:45] <GM> * In the tunnel, Nix? * [02:46] <Nixie> ((yeah, in the tunnel)) [02:46] * Saburo gets out of his coveralls. [02:46] * Saburo goes back and helps Jordan. [02:46] * Nixie slips out of hers too, and puts on her coat [02:46] * Dirk gets out of his suit as well [02:46] <GM> * Nixie stops in the tunnel as you all hears sirens from police and fire engines start in the distance. * [02:46] <GM> * You're all still in the van, with the police and fire trucks coming, and probably the Plex guard not far behind. * [02:47] <GM> * But you all ignore the danger and cooly strip off your coveralls. * [02:47] * Nixie grabs her gun and holsters it [02:47] <Nixie> "Let's GO!" [02:47] <Saburo> "Yes." [02:47] * Dirk follows nix [02:47] * Saburo too. [02:47] <Dirk> "Someone grab the doc" [02:48] * Saburo helps jordan. [02:48] * Jordan grabs his bag and limps along behind them [02:48] <Jordan> "I'll be fine, I don't need help" [02:48] <GM> * You're about half a mile from the unblocked exit of the tunnel, with smoke filling the place rapidly. * [02:48] * Jordan starts running [02:48] <GM> * ...It'd been smarter to keep driving. * [02:48] <GM> * But you'll never get the van going again, now, in the shape it's in. * [02:48] <Saburo> (( okay, so maybe ditching the van wasn't the best idea )) [02:48] <Saburo> (( no other vehicles? )) [02:48] <GM> * Nope. * [02:49] <GM> * Jordan gets out and starts running. * [02:49] <GM> * Jordan, roll quickness. *

[02:54] <GM> * You all make it out of the tunnel, the doc having to be dragged and unable to keep up on his own. Smoke begins to billow from the mouth of the tube, threatening to choke your party with acrid fumes. * [02:54] <GM> * The sirens are dangerously close. There are alleyways next to you all. * [02:55] * Saburo looks for alleys. [02:55] <GM> * Right there to your right. * [02:55] * Saburo runs into an alley. [02:55] * Jordan runs down an alley, leading the way [02:55] * Nixie drags the doc after Saburo...or Jordan. whatever. [02:56] <GM> * Everyone hauls ass into the nearest alleyway as the Lone Star and Fire Department arrive on the scene of the conflagration, followed by the 'Plex guard about 10 minutes later. * [02:56] * Dirk keeps going [02:56] * Saburo keeps running also. [02:56] <GM> * You all run along the maze of alleys until you emerge about 15 minutes later in downtown Seattle. * [02:56] <GM> * There are a few vehicles parked on the corners.

[02:58] <Jordan> "Someone just doing a carjacking. . ." [02:58] <Saburo> (( are the authorities still closing in? )) [02:58] <GM> * No, they're taking care of the bridge. * [02:58] <GM> * Erm, tunnel. * [02:59] <Nixie> "Somebody get us a car please" [02:59] * Dirk checks out a car [02:59] <GM> * A few pedestrians coming out of bars look at you all. * [03:00] * Saburo looks at us all. [03:00] * Dirk looks innocent [03:00] <GM> * You're bloody and battered. Jordan most of all. * [03:00] <GM> * Dirk looks less-than-innocent with a toolbox and electonics kit. * [03:00] * Saburo asks the group if they have supplies. He knows a little first aid. [03:01] <Jordan> "I have a medkit, but we need to get moving" [03:01] <GM> * The Doc is yarfing his guts out, while Nixie holds him up...She's pretty bruised. * [03:01] * Dirk goes for a car not in view of everybody in the city :P [03:01] <GM> * You make for the station wagon. * [03:01] <Dirk> ((yes)) [03:02] <GM> * You hotwire it an you all pile in. * [03:02] * Dirk drives this time [03:02] <Saburo> (( heh )) [03:02] * Nixie takes care of the doc [03:02] <GM> * Who's driving, who's sitting where? * [03:02] * Nixie sits in the back [03:02] * Jordan lays down in the back [03:02] * Saburo takes shotgun. [03:02] <GM> * Nixie sits in back with the doc while Dirk drives. Jordan is in the back as well, with Saburo riding shotgun again. * [03:02] * Saburo pulls out his Colt and holds it next to his leg. [03:03] * Saburo rolls down his window. [03:03] <GM> * Aren't you all forgetting the valuable info? * [03:03] <Jordan> ((I thought about that...)) [03:03] <GM> ((might want to ask the Doc)) [03:03] <Dirk> [i thought he had it] [03:04] <GM> ((i'm j/k)) [03:04] <Nixie> ((ARGH that's just mean)) [03:04] <GM> * You all drive towards the meeting place. * [03:04] <GM> * The doc looks worried. * [03:04] <Saburo> (( we should go in a little more presentable than this, perhaps? )) [03:05] <GM> * Your call. * [03:05] <GM> * RP it. * [03:05] <Nixie> ((this is fine)) [03:05] * Dirk isn't bruised or anything [03:05] <Saburo> "We should go in a little more presentable than this, perhaps?" [03:05] <Dirk> "Why?" [03:05] <Dirk> "We got it done. How we look shouldn't matter" [03:05] <GM> * The doc looks at Saburo. "Where are you taking me?" * [03:06] <Nixie> "The quicker we deliver him, the better" [03:06] * Jordan uses his medkit on himself [03:06] <GM> * Jordan... * [03:06] <GM> * Not very smart for an adept. * [03:06] <Jordan> ((that's only if I have deadly damage)) [03:06] <Jordan> ((or isn't it?)) [03:06] <GM> ((No)) [03:06] <GM> ((just don't use a stim patch)) [03:06] <Jordan> ((I won't:) )) [03:07] <Saburo> [to Dirk] "Style is very important to some employers, it is only a consideration." [to Doc] "Hush, we will be there soon." [03:07] <GM> * Dr. Hall: "I don't feel so good." * [03:07] <GM> * He vomits again. * [03:08] * Jordan backs away [03:08] <GM> * It's on the floor at his feet, nowhere near you. * [03:08] <GM> * You're in the very back. * [03:08] <Dirk> "I'm all for style, but there is a time and a place, and driving around with a vomiting supposed kidnappee is not style" [03:08] <Saburo> (( if he explodes, I'm going to be very upset. )) [03:08] <Nixie> "Is there any reason you think you're so sick?" [03:08] <GM> * He looks you in the eyes, Nixie. "Thank you for getting me out of there." [03:08] * Nixie nods [03:09] <GM> * "It's my nerves...T-that's all." * [03:09] * Nixie strokes his hair, and tries to soothe him [03:09] <GM> * "J-just nerves." * [03:09] * Dirk keeps driving, trying to be smooth [03:10] * Nixie snuggles him, keeping an eye out for anything she might need to shoot [03:10] <GM> * Nixie, his head snaps back and your hand is tossed away violently. You all hear an audible *pop*, and the interior of the car on Dr. Hall's left side is covered in a spray of blood. * [03:10] <GM> * Including you, Jordan. * [03:10] <Jordan> "fuck!....." [03:10] <Nixie> "ooooooohgod!" [03:10] <GM> * His lifeless body slumps forward in your arms, Nixie. * [03:10] * Jordan looks him over [03:10] * Dirk keeps driving "what the fuck was that?" [03:11] <GM> * Dirk, you see a lot of blood. * [03:11] * Nixie looks over the wound [03:11] <GM> * Dr. Hall, ex-communicatto, has a large hole in his head on the left side. * [03:11] <GM> * Upper lefthand quadrant. * [03:11] * Jordan looks through his pockets for any information [03:11] <Saburo> "No use... information is worth nothing without the man." [03:12] * Nixie looks if it's due to some implant thing, or a bullet [03:12] <Saburo> "I take that back. ..Information is always worth something..." [03:12] <GM> * Jordan, you begin looting Dr. Hall's corpse immediately and find some pocket lint and a grocery list. * [03:12] <Jordan> "Fuckin shit..." [03:12] <GM> * Nixie, the damage looks to you like a cranial bomb. * [03:12] <Nixie> "Fuck... I thought so..." [03:12] <GM> * His mouth is slackjawed and blood dribbles down from every orifice of his face, ruining your catsuit. * [03:13] <Saburo> "You think that's something he would have mentioned..." [03:13] <Dirk> "Maybe he didn't know." [03:13] <Nixie> "Well... now what?" [03:13] <Dirk> "Should we go back anyways?" [03:13] <Jordan> "I'm going back, at least." [03:13] <Dirk> "Back it is." [03:13] * Dirk drives to the meeting place [03:14] <GM> * And the body? * [03:14] <Nixie> ((we'll take it)) [03:14] <Saburo> "I don't think the Johnson ever said 'alive'... though we do not have the information." [03:14] <Saburo> "Though usually extraction means alive." [03:14] * Saburo looks glum. [03:14] * Nixie looks at the poor doc sadly [03:14] <Jordan> "Maybe this is what he planned all along..." [03:14] <Jordan> "...or maybe we're just royally fucked!" [03:14] <GM> * You drive around like Samuel L. and Vincent with a dead body in your car. * [03:15] <Jordan> "It's worth a try" [03:15] <Nixie> "Maybe... " [03:15] <Saburo> "Either way, we do not get paid." [03:15] * Saburo wants to get his bike first. [03:15] <Dirk> [did you see a sign on my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"?] [03:15] <Nixie> "Best to bring the evidence, though... The Johnson may well want to see this " [03:16] <Jordan> "But leave it in the car at first..."

. ..

[03:16] * Dirk drives back to that alleyway we started in [03:17] <GM> * You do, Dirk, and see the same troll standing there outside the same club. * [03:17] <GM> * He watches the bloodied interior of your vehicle as you pass him. * [03:17] <Saburo> (( wow, I thought everyone'd be gone )) [03:17] * Jordan hops out and walks past the troll. [03:17] * Saburo walks in as well. [03:17] * Dirk follows [03:17] * Nixie stands outside. [03:17] <GM> * You all move past the troll. "What's with the blood?" he asks incredulously. * [03:18] <Nixie> "That's what happens when people blow up" [03:19] * Nixie picks bits of skull and brain off her sticky outfit [03:20] <GM> * "...Dat's not good." * [03:21] <Nixie> "No, it certainly is NOT"

. ..

[03:21] <GM> * You all file in before the Johnson and explain what happened. * [03:21] * Nixie comes in all covered in goo. [03:21] <GM> * The same 3 metahuman mooks stand guard in the same spots as before. The troll in the coat follows Nixie into the room. * [03:21] * Jordan leans on his staff. [03:21] <Dirk> "He blew up" [03:21] <GM> * "He did, WHAT?!" * [03:22] <Dirk> "I'd put it another way if I could..." [03:22] <Dirk> "Apparently he had a cranial bomb." [03:22] <GM> * The Johnson slams his fists on his desk and shoots up out of his chair. * [03:22] <GM> * His eyes widen slightly. * [03:22] <Dirk> "He..exploded" [03:22] * Dirk wipes blood off the back of his head [03:23] <GM> * Mr. Johnson: "Fuck..." * [03:23] <Dirk> "Quite." [03:23] <GM> * "Was anyone hurt?"* [03:23] * Jordan looks at the Johnson all bloodily [03:23] <Dirk> "Yes." [03:23] <Jordan> "Nothing I won't survive." [03:23] <Dirk> "And the van is gone..." [03:23] <GM> * He nods, "Good." * [03:23] * Nixie flicks bits of bone off her clothes [03:24] <Dirk> "We have the body" [03:24] <GM> * He sits back down. * [03:24] <Nixie> "That was unpleasant." [03:24] <GM> * "I'm sure it was, but far less unpleasant than allowing yourselves to fail my organization, I'm afraid." * [03:24] <GM> * He looks up at you all concernedly. * [03:25] <Dirk> "We didn't fail. Your information failed." [03:25] <Dirk> "We weren't made aware of his cranial bomb." [03:25] <Saburo> [under his breath] "What information?" [03:25] <Dirk> "Exactly my point!" [03:25] <Dirk> "This was a suicide mission." [03:25] <GM> * He waves his hand at the lot of you. "I realize that these...circumstances -- although avoidable with proper planning -- were somewhat beyond your control." * [03:26] <Dirk> "Proper planning? 4 hours?" [03:26] <Dirk> "Lose-Lose situation..." [03:26] <GM> * He swivels his chair around and regards Dirk. * [03:26] * Jordan keeps close attention to everything in the room, ready to act [03:26] <GM> * Mr. Johnson: "I've seen far better accomplished in less time." * [03:26] <Dirk> "And with less information to go on?" [03:26] <GM> * He nods. * [03:26] <GM> * "Still, the fact remains that the mission was a failure." * [03:26] <Nixie> "Much to our dismay, I ensure you" [03:26] <Saburo> "You asked for a scientist. He's outside." [03:27] <Dirk> "...Most of him." [03:27] <GM> * Mr. Johnson continues: "I am aware of the trouble this predicament causes you all...But you must also understand the situation that I myself am put in by it as well." * [03:27] <GM> * "I've always thought of myself as a fair man." * [03:27] <Jordan> "Hey, we also fucked up a rival corporation" [03:28] <GM> * He laughs. * [03:28] <GM> * "You have no idea." * [03:28] <GM> * "I see no other course of action than to come by the information I require by other means -- seeing as the head in which it was contained is now mush." * [03:29] <GM> * "I'll tell you what...Take another job to retrieve the information from an alternate source and all will be forgiven." * [03:30] <GM> * "I'll even give you your pay, even though the mission was far from successful..." * [03:30] <Jordan> "We don't need your forgiveness." [03:30] <GM> * "Maybe not, Mr. Jordan, but I suggest you take it." * [03:30] <Dirk> "And what does this source have? 2 cranial bombs? Maybe 47 armed guards?" [03:30] <GM> * "No, this source is a datahaven." * [03:31] <GM> * "With reliable, hard facts on paper printouts." * [03:31] <Dirk> "Why didn't you give us that one first, instead of sending us out with nothing?" [03:31] <GM> * Mr. Johnson: "Because this was the most simple means of getting the information." * [03:32] <Dirk> "Apparently..." [03:31] <Jordan> "When would this be?" [03:32] <GM> * "A week from now, when you've had time to recover and gather your strength." * [03:32] * Nixie nods. [03:32] <Dirk> "Fine." [03:32] <Jordan> "I guess that works." [03:32] <Nixie> "Fine by me." [03:32] <Saburo> "I don't care for debt. I'm in." [03:32] <GM> * He nods. * [03:32] <GM> * "Extra help will be provided...Help that is properly prepared to retrieve the required data." * [03:33] <Dirk> "Good" [03:33] <GM> * "Very good." He snaps his fingers and the ork hands you all credsticks. * [03:33] <GM> * "I'll call you." * [03:33] * Nixie takes hers. [03:33] * Jordan pockets it. [03:33] * Dirk takes his and leaves. [03:33] * Dirk gives the Johnson back his phone first. [03:33] * Saburo takes his and leaves as well. [03:33] * Nixie leaves too. [03:33] <Jordan> "I don't suppose I could clean up in here, could I? [03:34] <GM> * "We have showers in the back." * [03:34] <GM> * "Along with tea and cookies." * [03:34] <Nixie> ((LOL)) [03:34] * Dirk leaves [03:34] * Saburo is gone. [03:34] * Jordan sighs. [03:34] * Jordan leaves. [03:34] <GM> * You all split. *
