episode 1 of odinrun

[20:23] <Odin> AT THE AMALGATED STUDIOS CORPORATE OFFICE: IN BREAKROOM B-12. IN COMFY CHAIRS WITH A TRID PROJECTOR THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE WALL.
[20:24] <Odin> The LA megapalax Skyline at night appears, framed on one end by the waters of the Pacific, and on the other end by the sandy desert.
[20:25] <Odin> A dragon roar sounds, and the title appears: SHADOWRUNS: In the City of the Angels!
[20:26] <Odin> The graphic dissolves into shifting lines of matrix code, replaced with bio shots of everyone.
[20:27] <Odin> CHLOE appears, having some conversation across a table with a shadowy Deep Throat-esque figure.
[20:27] <Odin> CAZADOR appears, a moment later in action with her bandana up, firing her preds at targets unseen.
[20:27] <Odin> QUADCORE'S VAN appears, followed by a shot of the Rigger in the seat.
[20:28] <Odin> ALLIE appears, climbing up a wall in tactical gear, before switching to an action shot of ravekini dancing.
[20:29] <Odin> And finally, CRASH appears: Fingers frantically typing at a mechanical keyboard while progress bars dance in the empty space above him.
[20:29] <Odin> (NOT FINALLY)
[20:29] <Odin> Finally STONEJAW appears, staff raised as a (Much improved in CGI) lightning bolt crashes out of the sky.

[20:31] <Odin> A DARK SMOKEY CLUB, WITH MR. JOHNSON ACTING MORE MAN IN BLACK THAN THE XCOM COUNCIL MEMBER
[20:31] <Odin> (You notice that all of you are arranged around it in the same way you were when you spoke to Mr. Producer to get the first mission)

[20:38] <Odin> Editing makes the fight seem MUCH longer than it was in reality (ESPECIALLY with the interspersed shots)
[20:38] <Odin> The action shots from the intro are clearly taken from this bit for Stonejaw and Cazador.
[20:38] <Odin> (It totally was. You and Quadcore both.)
[20:39] <Odin> PANICKED ESCAPE FROM GUNFIRE. CHLOE SNATCHING MISS LEVERAGE
