  1. May 08 16:09:37 * TeaGM has changed the topic to: The Shadow Sessions: Overture of Ash || Fairmont Olympic Hotel
  2. May 08 16:09:56 <TeaGM> "WHAT! Sir, why did you deploy them now? We're nowhere near ready for them!"
  3. May 08 16:10:02 <TeaGM> Inglewood knew his master was a foolhardy man, but even this was too much for him.
  4. May 08 16:10:09 <TeaGM> "We don't know what these people can do, let alone if they can work together! I know that Maestro has done extensive research, but to lay our trust onto him so suddenly is madness!"
  5. May 08 16:10:18 <TeaGM> The old man didn't bother to look. He could tell that Inglewood's eyes were furrowed in confusion. It was what he looked like when he was confused. The old man stared into the fire before answering his ward.
  6. May 08 16:10:25 <TeaGM> "Inglewood, it's Nadia. She is in trouble."
  7. May 08 16:10:37 <TeaGM> Inglewood froze. "Nadia? Her? But...but I thought you and her cut all ties with each other years ago!"
  8. May 08 16:10:43 <TeaGM> "I had Maestro keep tabs on her."
  9. May 08 16:10:47 <TeaGM> The old man, with extreme effort, stood up. Dust scattered around as the old man hunched over. He breathed into his respirator before continuing.
  10. May 08 16:10:51 <TeaGM> "Her life is in danger. I must save her."
  11. May 08 16:10:57 <TeaGM> The elf stood in silence, then nodded. "Then...then we will include her in our plans?"
  12. May 08 16:11:02 <TeaGM> "There's no other choice, Inglewood." The old man crossed his ancient arms as his gaze was fixed onto Inglewood. "It's almost time."
  13. May 08 16:13:01 * TeaGM has changed the topic to: The Shadow Sessions: Overture of Ash || Koffee, 31st St.
  14. May 08 16:13:10 <TeaGM> The weatherman declared the day to be a sunny day. And, for most of it, it was kind of true for the residents of Puyallup.
  15. May 08 16:13:18 <TeaGM> ure, the sky was still dimmed due to an everpresent layer of ash in the sky, but at least the winds weren't kicking up soot all around. People could actually go walking around without their masks.
  16. May 08 16:13:30 <TeaGM> Although, most wore it anyways, partly out of caution, partly out of habit.
  17. May 08 16:13:45 <TeaGM> It was a pleasant day for business in the small shopping plaza by 31st street. One shop in particular, Koffee, a huge chain store hipster-inspired coffee shop, was doing some good business.
  18. May 08 16:13:54 <TeaGM> It sat across the large AllMart department store, and many shoppers were coming and going through the parking lot outside.
  19. May 08 16:14:17 <TeaGM> This rare day of peace and prosperity would soon shatter into chaos.
  20. May 08 16:14:22 * Arachnae strolls into the coffee shop, flicking a wayward brunette fiberoptic strand out of her face, flat shoes clacking on the floor of the cafe as she promptly broadcasted an image of a spider and a loom over AR, assuming that's a thing she can do, while standing in line to get her koffee. God, she was never going to wish for a job when things were slow /ever again./ Fuck this run, fuck the circumstances, fuck the pay, fuck the bullets, fuck the Johnson, fuck Pullayup, fuck all of it.
  21. May 08 16:17:41 <TeaGM> as Arachnae enters
  22. May 08 16:18:06 <TeaGM> she can hear the jazzy sounds that Koffee sounds on their speakers, an attempt to sound groovy and hip.
  23. May 08 16:18:10 <TeaGM> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPH189gsVFg
  24. May 08 16:19:27 <Arachnae> "Ugh. Shitty canned Jazz." To be honest, Arachnae didn't really know of the quality of the music, but she really didn't care at the moment. Everything was terrible, no matter how good it does. Her apperance is... Well, like their mark's. The gang'd all seen the pictures.
  25. May 08 16:20:29 <Xander> Alex walked up to the counter, ordering a small drink, asking them to call out "Rider" when it was finished. He had realized on the ride over that no one had set up a way to meet. Worst case scenario, nothing happened, but... this would let any of the others know he was here. He grinned, his goggles around his neck for the moment.
  26. May 08 16:21:14 <TeaGM> The server, or /barista/ as his boss constantly reminds him, balefully looks up
  27. May 08 16:21:37 <TeaGM> He sizes up the guy wearing a jacket and goggles. He nods shortly.
  28. May 08 16:21:43 * Rabid_Child sits alone, perched on the cheap chair. She is particularly tall, and one might even say that she looms. Her hands, gloved, are visible from the long sleeves of the coat. The legs of a smooth blue jumpsuit protrude from below the coat. She seems very much thinner than you'd expect a boxer to be. Her projected face displays a neutral expression.
  29. May 08 16:21:51 <Xander> "Thanks man~"
  30. May 08 16:22:21 <TeaGM> "That'll be $4.50"
  31. May 08 16:22:46 * Arachnae looks over to Rabid Child, a bit distracted by her, in fact, as she stood up to order. Welp. That was probably one of the runners. ... She hoped people had their AR on, or at least paid enough attention to the picture to tell who she was.
  32. May 08 16:23:12 * Rabid_Child slurps a houp of cola through a black straw, protruding from the side of her helmet. She nods.
  33. May 08 16:23:14 * Xander pays, swearing he had ordered something cheaper. Ah well.
  34. May 08 16:23:47 * Arachnae nods back, smiling... A wry, humorless smile.
  35. May 08 16:23:58 * Rabid_Child ( http://i.gyazo.com/e6626210045707f7aeebece205933117.png )
  36. May 08 16:24:28 <TeaGM> The hum of the pricey espresso machine filled the air over the jazz background. Then, silence. "Rider! I have a tall espresso, easy on the cream!"
  37. May 08 16:24:45 * Xander takes the drink, looking around to see who looked up at that, and gives them a grin.
  38. May 08 16:24:46 * Arachnae tosses out her order, for whatever the most caffinated thing they had was. She'd need it
  39. May 08 16:25:01 <TeaGM> "$4.50" the server drones, bored out of his mind.
  40. May 08 16:25:15 * Arachnae looks up to the 'Rider' guy... That's two, probably. She gives him a curt nod, setting her credstick up onto the counter to pay.
  41. May 08 16:25:29 * SilkySeeker 'arrives' in the area like a ghost in the coffee shop's public access node. A particularly trite icon looking like a window onto Shodan's Kandi-Raver little sister lights up on the Team's AR and comlinks. Also a party hat AR overlays on Xander with the word "This guy has gifts for you" hovering over him appears.
  42. May 08 16:26:12 * Xander grabs a table, waiting for the inevitable grouping of the other Runners.
  43. May 08 16:26:20 * Arachnae blinks, switching to subvocalization, and promptly sending a voice chat over to Silly's node. "Jebus, you scared the crap out of me. Set up a voice chat, will you?
  44. May 08 16:26:24 <TeaGM> Another humm, whish, then silence. "Tall americano!"
  45. May 08 16:26:52 * Arachnae wonders if he's looking at her? If so, she takes her coffee, sighing.
  46. May 08 16:27:28 * Rabid_Child stands up. A gesture which is oddly imposing. She cracks her fingers, thick masses of electromuscle and rubber. She wanders over to Xander. "This seat taken?", she says, voice monotone.
  47. May 08 16:27:47 <Xander> "Not at all, please, join me!" He grins, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a super girly commlink.
  48. May 08 16:28:21 <Rabid_Child> "That's adorable." She takes it.
  49. May 08 16:29:07 <Xander> "Not mine, you can thank Kitten."
  50. May 08 16:29:37 <Rabid_Child> "Yeah. I figured."
  51. May 08 16:29:44 * SilkySeeker Idly runs through a tally of the devices available and the comunication hardware everyone is using. Taping into every none-obvious audio channel available. Politely of course, she asks permission before hijacking anyone's coms more then she already has. "Ain't this gentleman a catch? so courteous, saves random pedestrians from suicide... "
  52. May 08 16:29:58 * Arachnae sips at her drink, sliding over to join the runners. "And where are you, anyways? You're not the cyborg, are you?" More subvocals. This time, out loud, to the rest of the group, she says. "Hey." A pause, a glare at nothing and general, and she sits down next to them, sighing. "Fuck our life, right?"
  53. May 08 16:31:04 * Rabid_Child 's face flickers, judders to a smile. "Yep."
  54. May 08 16:31:22 * Xander slides another comm to Arachnae, shrugging. "I dunno, I'd probably have done it anyway."
  55. May 08 16:31:29 <Rabid_Child> It looks utterly out of place. ( http://i.gyazo.com/125d3e59491388a2a48fce5ae050e6df.png )
  56. May 08 16:31:31 <Arachnae> "I've already got one."
  57. May 08 16:31:42 <Rabid_Child> "Me too. Mine are built in."
  58. May 08 16:31:48 <Xander> "Take it anyway."
  59. May 08 16:32:01 <Rabid_Child> "Redundancy."
  60. May 08 16:32:13 * Arachnae shrugs, slipping it into her pocket. "Whatever, free stuff's always nice." She looks over to Rabid, shrugging softly. ".... I guess there's a story behind that, huh?"
  61. May 08 16:32:29 * SilkySeeker Huffs and makes a pouty face with the kandi-shodan face... "Let's just say I am physically indisposed enough that I have no desire to let anyone with something more dangerous then a paperclip know where I'm holed up... let alone some one with guns or spells"
  62. May 08 16:32:30 * Rabid_Child awkwardly pulls back. She doesn't say anything.
  63. May 08 16:32:40 <Xander> "Story is... Yeah. From her."
  64. May 08 16:33:19 <Arachnae> "... Fair enough, I guess. Still, you can understand why it makes me paranoid. Anyways, just... I guess we should just display our names, so we know who's who. Or something. Or just say them over subvocals. You all have subvocals, right?"
  65. May 08 16:33:39 * Arachnae looks to Rabid, frowning a bit... "You don't have to say anything if it bothers you. We're all stuck in this shit together, after all."
  66. May 08 16:33:55 * Rabid_Child nods.
  67. May 08 16:35:17 <Rabid_Child> "Maybe I'll tell you later."
  68. May 08 16:35:28 <Rabid_Child> "Probably won't."
  69. May 08 16:35:53 <Xander> "I'll tell you later as well.... Though you'll probably hear it during."
  70. May 08 16:36:59 <Rabid_Child> "What's the plan?"
  71. May 08 16:37:00 <Arachnae> "That's fine. I'm not going to spill any of my story, wouldn't really expect you to either."
  72. May 08 16:37:06 <TeaGM> Suddenly, your comms pop up with a message. You can clearly see who it is from.
  73. May 08 16:37:13 <TeaGM> >>M435TR0
  74. May 08 16:37:13 <Arachnae> "Alright. Well... First, who's good at wha- huh, what's this?"
  75. May 08 16:37:16 <Arachnae> "Oh this fucker."
  76. May 08 16:37:18 * SilkySeeker idly loads up each of the comlinks each one is it's own color of slightly pastel rainbow and has... way too much cutesy emblems on the casing not taken up by the screens. "Sooo... those little gadgets should keep a matrix signal unless you burry yourself under a mountain, in the ocean also will keep signaling through your skin if all else fails... DAMN IT
  77. May 08 16:37:22 <Xander> "Oh boy, here we go...." Rider checks the time.
  78. May 08 16:37:46 <TeaGM> It is five past 1pm
  79. May 08 16:37:55 <TeaGM> (er, 2pm)
  80. May 08 16:38:03 * Rabid_Child rolls her eyes.
  81. May 08 16:38:06 <Xander> Phew, not time yet.
  82. May 08 16:38:18 <TeaGM> >>Hello! Sorry to bother you as you practice for you big performance.
  83. May 08 16:38:24 <TeaGM> >>Just need to let you know, we need confirmation of her survival. Please call when everything is safe!
  84. May 08 16:38:28 <TeaGM> >>Mutt, Squat, and Vic have confirmed they are outside, surveying the surrounding area.
  85. May 08 16:38:32 <TeaGM> >>Break a leg!
  86. May 08 16:38:39 <TeaGM> And with that, the message ends
  87. May 08 16:38:43 <Rabid_Child> ( http://i.gyazo.com/b1473a27ddd9ee2cc906dfec9673f514.png )
  88. May 08 16:38:48 <Arachnae> "... Anyways, back to plan. Who's good at what?"
  89. May 08 16:39:11 <Xander> "I'm good at melee, a bit of gunplay, and driving."
  90. May 08 16:39:40 * Rabid_Child just looks at arachnae.
  91. May 08 16:39:59 <Arachnae> "... Something wrong? Look, I know we all went over this before, but it's helpful to know."
  92. May 08 16:40:07 * SilkySeeker smirks her icon and blows a kiss "I have a drone with a sniper rifle hovering over the parking lot right now and I am working on owning every camera and node in the facility"
  93. May 08 16:40:12 <Arachnae> "... Ah, you're the one who hasn't... before, right?"
  94. May 08 16:40:24 * Rabid_Child nods.
  95. May 08 16:40:55 <Rabid_Child> "I can hit things hard. Repair vehicles. Jump very high. Decent at parkour."
  96. May 08 16:41:01 <Rabid_Child> "Nothing terribly useful.
  97. May 08 16:41:03 <Rabid_Child> "
  98. May 08 16:41:22 <Arachnae> "Alright. Pretty good for a team, though. Useful incase things go to shit, which you always assume they will, and they pretty much always do."
  99. May 08 16:41:34 <Arachnae> "I'm a talker. And good at disguise. Pretty much, I sneak into places and get access."
  100. May 08 16:41:52 * Rabid_Child finishes her drink. She idly crushes the can.
  101. May 08 16:41:53 * Arachnae switches to her subvocals from here on out, routing them through Silly's gifted comms
  102. May 08 16:42:46 <Arachnae> "Know some magic tricks, few other things. Alright, physical assets. Anyone have a vehicle or something to get the mark out?"
  103. May 08 16:43:58 * SilkySeeker ahems and brings up a map pinging the location of drone assets "I brought my van... and Xander has a bike... also a nice lynx is around the corner over there... the dobermans would be a bit overburdened with a full adult"
  104. May 08 16:44:00 <Rabid_Child> me nods.
  105. May 08 16:44:08 * Rabid_Child nods*
  106. May 08 16:44:24 <Xander> "I've got my bike, domed. Left the... Party Bike at home."
  107. May 08 16:44:25 <Rabid_Child> "two seater though."
  108. May 08 16:45:07 * Rabid_Child looks around. Leans in close. "We should probably leave soon. With you going subvocal it looks like we're having conversations with ourselves.
  109. May 08 16:45:40 * BestTeaMaker (Mibbit@dhcp-v093-022.mobile.uci.edu) has joined #TheShadowSessions
  110. May 08 16:45:41 * ChanServ gives channel operator status to BestTeaMaker
  111. May 08 16:45:53 * BestTeaMaker is now known as BTM
  112. May 08 16:46:13 * TeaGM has quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by BTM)))
  113. May 08 16:46:16 * BTM is now known as TeaGM
  114. May 08 16:46:35 <Arachnae> "Alright. And yeah. This is true. Alright, the general idea here... I'm going to go in, talk to her, get her to go, Xander's going to drive her out, I'm going to stay in, looking like her, and Rabid's going to cover me. Biblo will cover comms and hack things, and preferably call the police down. I'm going to try to get her ID and such before she leaves, so I look somewhat legit. Alright, now let's split up and go."
  115. May 08 16:46:55 <Xander> "I thought I was gonna talk to her."
  116. May 08 16:47:56 <Rabid_Child> "Arachnae, if they have surveillance on her then they'll know the jig is up the moment they see you."
  117. May 08 16:48:32 <Rabid_Child> "We'd have to make the switch in private."
  118. May 08 16:49:04 <Arachnae> "I'm good at talking. And that's why we drag her into the bathroom or something first. If the camera's cut, by our good friend here, they can't know which one of us is real. Heck, we could have swapped clothes, even. So they have to go in both directions. Split up the force. One combat capable person in each direction, and some of the drones too."
  119. May 08 16:49:16 <Arachnae> "Also, buy some subvocals after the run, they'll safe your life."
  120. May 08 16:49:29 <Xander> "Alright, alright...."
  121. May 08 16:50:02 <Arachnae> "Anyways, we can't go in until... Say, 2:50, she's supposed to get there around three. So I'm going to deactivate my mic, and we're going to have a nice conversation."
  122. May 08 16:50:38 <Arachnae> "Just send matrix messages, assuming Biblo's covered that, in case we need to do more planning."
  123. May 08 16:50:40 * SilkySeeker hums and starts initiating a scope out of the Allmart's security infrastructure. looking for her own way in as well as signs of anyone else being there. "I'll go looking for tomfoolery, I don't think these guys are liable to have any legit good matrix running "
  124. May 08 16:51:44 * SilkySeeker chirrups "Incidentally if you have any cameras, random appliances or what not on your person you can secure slave them to that comlink without using wireless via the magic of conductive body surfaces... so no radio leakage"
  125. May 08 16:52:23 <Rabid_Child> "No comment."
  126. May 08 16:52:36 * Rabid_Child does so.
  127. May 08 16:52:50 * Arachnae does that, really quickly, linking her trodes up to it. "Anyways, so, what's been going on with you guys? Seen the Brawl game?"
  128. May 08 16:53:27 <TeaGM> ((SilkySeeker, please make a Computer + Analyze roll))
  129. May 08 16:53:27 <Xander> "I did, it was pretty great. Did you see Rodriguez in the second half?"
  130. May 08 16:54:02 <Arachnae> ... Something seems to hit Arachnae, suddenly. "Ah, yeah, that was amazing..." She promptly sends a message... To MA3STRO or whatever the numbers were. 'So, uh, is there a drop off point for her?'
  131. May 08 16:54:30 * Rabid_Child switches her display to a disgusting jpeg compressed football.
  132. May 08 16:54:34 <Xander> "Don't think so. I figure I'd take her somewhere safe, guard her til we get an all clear...."
  133. May 08 16:54:51 * Arachnae was sending a matrix message to the johnson, not saying that
  134. May 08 16:55:05 * Xander didn't say that then.
  135. May 08 16:55:32 <TeaGM> A message pops into Arachnae's display
  136. May 08 16:55:45 <TeaGM> >>For now, not really. Just let me know when you have her~
  137. May 08 16:56:01 <SilkySeeker> !sr 13
  138. May 08 16:56:01 * ShadowDice rolled 13 dice for SilkySeeker and got ( 3 6 1 5 2 3 2 6 4 3 6 2 6 ) Hits: 5
  139. May 08 16:58:35 <Xander> "I wonder what it'd be like to be a Battler... Looks like a hell of a lot of fun."
  140. May 08 16:59:02 <Rabid_Child> "Never been too into it myself. Boxing's my bout."
  141. May 08 16:59:15 <Rabid_Child> "Fucked that up royally, though."
  142. May 08 16:59:38 <Xander> "Yeah, what happened? If you don't mind my asking...."
  143. May 08 16:59:39 <Arachnae> "Mmn, I used to want to be an actress... Eeh, but that was fucked from the start." Arachnae says this with... Well, more than a hint of bitterness.
  144. May 08 16:59:59 * SilkySeeker hums and nods "man they really overwork and under-utilize the security on this place, I should own it in a bit"
  145. May 08 17:00:27 * SilkySeeker begins prying into the security network... keeping sure that stealth is up and running.
  146. May 08 17:00:35 <Xander> ".... I don't think I ever had something that I really wanted to do."
  147. May 08 17:00:58 <Rabid_Child> "You look like you'd be all right in the ring."
  148. May 08 17:01:30 <Xander> "I'm handy in a fight, I just mean I didn't really have a dream growing up."
  149. May 08 17:02:36 <TeaGM> ((SilkySeeker, please make a Hacking + Exploit (7) roll))
  150. May 08 17:02:56 * SilkySeeker begins idly humming a song from some random remix of a remix of a remix of a cover of a cover of song from a children's show over the comms, her icon's head bobbing to the beat.
  151. May 08 17:04:05 * Rabid_Child quickly sends a link of this to silky. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLkGSV9WDMA )
  152. May 08 17:05:11 * Rabid_Child sends a follow-up. "TMBG did a lot of educational music and such. It's pretty cute."

  160. May 08 17:07:25 * Xander sips his coffee, disliking it immensely.

  163. May 08 17:08:45 * Rabid_Child winces. "Well, if we survive this. I'll certainly fix that." She switches her face to one with a sort of bravado, but still manages to sound deadpan and vulnerable.
  164. May 08 17:08:47 <Rabid_Child> ( http://i.gyazo.com/1aa4d043dd1bb043416a64a54aeb2852.png )
  165. May 08 17:09:48 * Xander checks the time
  166. May 08 17:10:08 * SilkySeeker whoops and opens up the entire security system of the Allmart, then settles in quiet as can be with a subtle subscription "I'm in everyone, we have everything the lovely Ares Corporation can provide in security details for allmart!"
  167. May 08 17:10:20 <Arachnae> "... Don't worry, I'm pissed off about it, but compared to some shit you'll have to get in, we're going to the store to get a galleon of milk."
  168. May 08 17:10:21 * Rabid_Child nods.
  169. May 08 17:10:38 <Arachnae> "We might have to go get a bullet removed, but easy shit, relatively. Ugh."
  170. May 08 17:11:08 <Xander> ".... I think I need milk anyway."
  171. May 08 17:12:34 <Rabid_Child> "I don't drink milk. If you leave it too long it clogs the straw and smells horrible."
  172. May 08 17:13:04 <Xander> "... Straw?"
  173. May 08 17:13:11 * SilkySeeker hums and pops a display into the AR of those on the team "Allow me to illuminate, in the green we have security cameras, in the red we have panic buttons and yellow we got electronic locks..."
  174. May 08 17:13:17 <SilkySeeker> http://i.imgur.com/c9eMIhf.png
  175. May 08 17:13:20 <Arachnae> "... You know, I can probably find a guy who can replace a lot of that with bioware, if you want, at some point. Well, I know a guy who might know a guy- oh, important stuff."
  176. May 08 17:13:37 <Arachnae> "I don't suppose you can get the arcs on those cameras?"
  177. May 08 17:13:47 <Rabid_Child> "I'm allergic."
  178. May 08 17:13:55 <Xander> "To Bioware?"
  179. May 08 17:14:26 * Rabid_Child is silent.
  180. May 08 17:14:52 <Xander> "Alright then." He looks at the map.
  181. May 08 17:15:08 <Arachnae> "Ah... Sorry."
  182. May 08 17:15:26 <Xander> "Middle of electronics or Apparel might be good."
  183. May 08 17:15:27 * SilkySeeker adds a few circles to each camera "we got full 360 degree vision babes"
  184. May 08 17:15:42 <Arachnae> "Joy. Alright..."
  185. May 08 17:16:06 * Arachnae swaps to typing over matrix. "So, where' the bathrooms?"
  186. May 08 17:17:02 * SilkySeeker draws a big pink square at the bottom and then adds a bow to one of them "Yop"
  187. May 08 17:18:10 <TeaGM> Another message pops up in your comms
  188. May 08 17:18:14 <TeaGM> >>Mutt
  189. May 08 17:18:38 * SilkySeeker makes a yucky face, but restrains herself from actually changing anything in the simspace "Man this place is completely corporate balls!" she instead is setting her built in analysis software to passive watching the entire node and her other data-trawlers to watching the input from cameras and other security devices...
  190. May 08 17:18:56 <Arachnae> "Alright, plan. There doesn't appear to be any cameras in the bathroom. So, I'm going to bring her in there, from wherever in the store we happen to be. Silly, you'll cover cameras and try to keep us out of their vision, but I'm going to put up a 'twins' type facade anyways. We head in there, possibly swap clothes, I grab her ID, she leaves with Rider, Rabid covers me, Silly does all the shit protecting us with drones and hacking stuff."
  191. May 08 17:19:46 <Xander> "Alright, I'll be... In the Apparel section. I can watch the front and the bathrooms from there."
  192. May 08 17:20:59 <TeaGM> The message peeps and chirrs
  193. May 08 17:21:01 <TeaGM> >>Mutt
  194. May 08 17:21:36 * Xander answers.
  195. May 08 17:21:42 * Arachnae takes it, pulling him up onto the comms. "What."
  196. May 08 17:21:48 <Rabid_Child> "I ain't too good at not being seen, but I can shadow you from a distance away."
  197. May 08 17:21:55 * SilkySeeker rightoes and starts moving the van and the lynx to better provide support to the inevitable cluster fuck "I'm gonna put my heavy hitter Callie in the back, if it looks especially bad you go out through storage if available... the doggies Betty and Fran will be available from the front entrance"
  198. May 08 17:22:29 * Mutt (~Kato@c-50-143-9-56.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #TheShadowSessions
  199. May 08 17:22:32 <Xander> "Hmmm.... So, we ARE having a distraction team, right? I go one way, you two go another?"
  200. May 08 17:22:42 <Arachnae> "You don't need to not be seen. Just play the part of the convenient savior for when stuff goes down. With your profession and physical capabilities, it should be fine. Biblo, be ready to bring the police down on us if you need to. In theory, everything should look legit."
  201. May 08 17:22:58 <Arachnae> "Team two is dealing with the other mercenaries."
  202. May 08 17:23:51 <Xander> "Alright, just saying, the less bullets heading my way, the better."
  203. May 08 17:24:38 <SilkySeeker> If we are gonna be doing this my drones should be last resort, their kinda obvious
  204. May 08 17:24:57 <Arachnae> "Yeah, they're hard to explain."
  205. May 08 17:25:13 <TeaGM> A third message pops up
  206. May 08 17:25:22 <TeaGM> >>M435TR0
  207. May 08 17:25:43 <Arachnae> "Oh, and biblio? Can you get me some voice samples of our mark- damnit." Answer that one too.
  208. May 08 17:25:59 <Xander> Time to see what the Maestro wants....
  209. May 08 17:26:16 <TeaGM> >>Urgent! There has been a slight change in the program!
  210. May 08 17:26:30 <Xander> "..... No....."
  211. May 08 17:26:30 <TeaGM> >>The four people sent to kill Nadia have infiltrated the store already
  212. May 08 17:26:45 <TeaGM> >>Luckily, I've been able to identify what kind of people they are
  213. May 08 17:26:55 <Xander> "Batshit insane?"
  214. May 08 17:27:03 <TeaGM> >>Two of them are just unruly thugs, but the other two may prove to be a bit of a problem
  215. May 08 17:27:03 <Rabid_Child> Shit.
  216. May 08 17:27:19 <TeaGM> >>One of them is running coms as a hacker, while another one has some astral signature
  217. May 08 17:27:19 <Xander> "What's up with the other two? Magic? Marksmen? Hackers?"
  218. May 08 17:27:36 <Xander> "..... Ooooooh this'll be fun. I can pick out whichever one has the astral signature."
  219. May 08 17:27:37 <TeaGM> >>I think one of them is serving as the lone gunman while the rest serve as backup
  220. May 08 17:27:47 <TeaGM> >>Becareful! And good luck improvising!"
  221. May 08 17:27:56 <TeaGM> >>M435tR0 has left chat
  222. May 08 17:28:18 <Xander> ".... Ok, I think this is gonna take a bit more of a rushed approach."
  223. May 08 17:28:21 * Rabid_Child stands up, cracks her knuckles again.
  224. May 08 17:28:24 <Mutt> Evolve and adapt
  225. May 08 17:28:28 <Xander> "I think we have two options here."
  226. May 08 17:28:49 <Xander> "First, we can stop her BEFORE she goes in, rendering any need to go inside and deal with this group null and void."
  227. May 08 17:29:23 <Xander> "OR. We can split up and go toe to toe with these fucks. Strength against strength, Silky takes on the hacker, Arachnae can take down the Astral Bitch, and Knuckles and I can take out one thug each."
  228. May 08 17:29:47 <Rabid_Child> I'm not comfortable with... Killing people.
  229. May 08 17:29:57 <Mutt> Then don't
  230. May 08 17:30:11 <Mutt> Just put them down
  231. May 08 17:30:13 <Xander> "Who said kill? I only carry gel bullets."
  232. May 08 17:30:14 <Rabid_Child> "I think we should avoid contact with these guys where possible."
  233. May 08 17:30:32 <Xander> "Hey Silky, think you can get eyes on the street?"
  234. May 08 17:30:36 <Rabid_Child> "All right."
  235. May 08 17:30:47 <Arachnae> "Shit, I haven't been practicing my counterspelling... and good, we only have to deal with one shooter. And someone who might blow us up. Anyways, we're not going toe to toe with /anyone./ I can't fight for shit. But, yeah, llet's try to intercept her. If we can't, we go in, and try /not/ to fight unless we have to, and if we do we need to make getitng the mark out priority uno."
  236. May 08 17:31:13 <Arachnae> "Of course, I'll still provide distraction. And I can... I can survive and maybe dish a little hurt, but don't expect much."
  237. May 08 17:31:35 <Xander> "Worst case, call me over. Though I have a feeling that the magic user will be able to see me when I walk in."
  238. May 08 17:32:22 <Rabid_Child> "Do we know what they look like?"
  239. May 08 17:33:11 <Xander> "I'm sure I could go find out what the magic user looks like."
  240. May 08 17:33:16 <Arachnae> Message M435tR0 "Pics plz."
  241. May 08 17:34:26 <TeaGM> A message pops back
  242. May 08 17:34:38 <TeaGM> >>Unfortuantely, we don't have any images clear of them
  243. May 08 17:34:40 <TeaGM> >>We do know
  244. May 08 17:34:48 <TeaGM> >>there are 2 humans, 1 elf, and 1 ork
  245. May 08 17:35:03 <Xander> "Which one's magic?"
  246. May 08 17:35:19 <TeaGM> >>The human who goes by Kore
  247. May 08 17:35:47 <Arachnae> "Alright."
  248. May 08 17:36:28 <TeaGM> >>One more thing, the back up guys
  249. May 08 17:36:32 <TeaGM> >>are on radio silence
  250. May 08 17:36:37 <TeaGM> >>they're waiting for some sort of signal
  251. May 08 17:37:37 * SilkySeeker scours the camera feeds with every pattern matching data system she has available to track down the biometrics of the targets. "Oh come on! I have one connection hiccup and all hell breaks loose? Complying"
  252. May 08 17:38:50 <Rabid_Child> "Let's head."
  253. May 08 17:39:03 <TeaGM> ((Xander, please give me a Log + Wil roll))
  254. May 08 17:39:04 <Rabid_Child> "Don't want to waste time."

  257. May 08 17:39:31 * ShadowDice rolled 7 dice for Xander and got ( 2 2 2 1 6 3 6 ) Hits: 2
  258. May 08 17:39:53 * SilkySeeker snarls a bit to herself, I thought one of them was supposed to be trying to hack this place to take up the cameras but I ain't seen a peep"
  259. May 08 17:40:26 <Xander> "... Hang on a tic."
  260. May 08 17:40:50 <Xander> "I know what Kore looks like. Asian man, black hair, dragon tattoo on his neck."
  261. May 08 17:41:08 <Arachnae> "9 These guys are supposed to be old gangers, right? Maybe I know something.."
  262. May 08 17:41:12 <Xander> "I saw it on his rap sheet, so be careful."
  263. May 08 17:42:09 <TeaGM> >>Do hurry
  264. May 08 17:42:12 * SilkySeeker cheers "Oh thank you Detective!" with the new info Silky starts going over the camera feeds with more intensity. Also spinning off some deeper analysis of the security nodes, some one is supposed to be hacking this place and there ain't any sign.
  265. May 08 17:42:21 <TeaGM> >>it's past 2:30!
  266. May 08 17:42:34 <TeaGM> And with that, the message ends
  267. May 08 17:42:54 <Xander> "Right. I'm going now. I'll head in and scope everything out, someone keep watch on the street."
  268. May 08 17:43:11 * Rabid_Child shakes her head. She ambles towards the door, coat flowing as the wind blows in.
  269. May 08 17:43:42 * Xander heads out about a minute later, grinning. Time to do what he does best... Cause some trouble~
  270. May 08 17:43:59 <Arachnae> "Silky, get cameras looking for the mark, will you? I'm not heading in quite yet. Rider, stay safe, okay? Don't start any shit."
  271. May 08 17:44:19 <Xander> "I won't start anything that doesn't need to be started. Besides... I can be sneaky."
  272. May 08 17:44:34 * SilkySeeker "I'm looking so intensely it would make your eyes bleed to know what I see Lady-bug!"
  273. May 08 17:44:53 <Rabid_Child> "Won't we want to fan out? Try not to make it look as if we're together?"
  274. May 08 17:45:19 <Xander> "I'll head in near the electronics, you head towards the office entrance."
  275. May 08 17:45:33 * Xander slips on his goggles.
  276. May 08 17:45:48 <Arachnae> "Yeah. Basically. You can head in, I'm staying in here, for the moment. We need to watch for her..."
  277. May 08 17:46:27 <Xander> "I think it's best we do it this way. We have two fronts, one trying to prevent her from coming in, another stationed inside in case she DOES get inside."
  278. May 08 17:46:50 <TeaGM> ((SilkySeeker, please roll Computer + Analyze + 3))
  279. May 08 17:47:04 * Rabid_Child nods.
  280. May 08 17:47:12 <SilkySeeker> !sr 16
  281. May 08 17:47:13 * ShadowDice rolled 16 dice for SilkySeeker and got ( 5 5 4 3 2 1 2 1 1 3 5 3 3 2 2 1 ) Hits: 3
  282. May 08 17:47:41 <Rabid_Child> Uh I guess I'll uh...
  283. May 08 17:48:09 <Rabid_Child> "Find something to punch."
  284. May 08 17:48:19 <Xander> "Sounds like my kind of plan."
  285. May 08 17:48:24 <Rabid_Child> (oops that was supposed to be matrixy)
  286. May 08 17:49:43 * SilkySeeker throws a ping in the cafe "I got kore looking casual ... also Fruitcakes and Bananas these ares cameras SUCK!"
  287. May 08 17:50:33 * SilkySeeker throws a camera capture with highlight showing Kore hanging out in the cafe eating fries and drinking a soda.
  288. May 08 17:50:49 <Arachnae> "Anyways. I'll stay in here, when someone sights the mark call me, I'll head out of the store into the lot."
  289. May 08 17:52:28 <Rabid_Child> Thanks, kitten.
  290. May 08 17:52:34 * SilkySeeker goes back for scanning for the mark across the cameras "hey some one should probably watch outside the entrance for the mark, Kore is eyeballing the front entrance" in fact silky starts shifting the lighter then air drone to get a better vantage of the entrance and throws a mini-vid of it's view to the team's AR
  291. May 08 17:52:39 <Rabid_Child> "Let's go beat him up then."
  292. May 08 17:52:50 <Xander> "No no.... I got this."
  293. May 08 17:53:31 <Arachnae> "Rabid, in general, beating people up is last resort. Don't hurt anyone if you don't have to."
  294. May 08 17:54:02 <Rabid_Child> "Yeah, I getcha."
  295. May 08 17:54:09 * Rabid_Child almost manages to look disappointed.
  296. May 08 17:54:45 <Xander> "You can punch him when shit goes south. For now... A little stealth is needed. I'll chill out here, you focus on finding the goons. I'm guessing one of them is the gunman, go wild on him."
  297. May 08 17:56:14 <Rabid_Child> Mm.
  298. May 08 17:56:24 * Arachnae watches the entrance... Pretty sure we can basically skip to when the mark arrives, now?
  299. May 08 17:57:08 <TeaGM> The large doors of the AllMart was a clear landmark in the grey, soot-covered parking lot. People were milling in and out of the store. Cries of children prancing around and the grunts of store workers.
  300. May 08 17:57:14 <TeaGM> One worker, distinguished by vest of AllMart bright blue, is seen gathering stranded shopping carts. Some less savory characters are hunched over the curb, smoking and leering at the people coming into the store. All in all, AllMart was quite the sore thumb of surburbian qualities in the rundown area of Puyallup.
  301. May 08 17:57:50 * Disconnected (Connection reset by peer).

  308. May 08 17:59:15 * Topic for #TheShadowSessions set by TeaGM!Mibbit@dhcp-v093-022.mobile.uci.edu at Thu May 08 16:13:04 2014
  309. May 08 17:59:51 * You are now known as Widow_Spider
  310. May 08 18:00:17 * SilkySeeker as an afterthought sends a ping to her eye in the sky "Sarah" and has her begin acquiring target on the Ork. Just in case it happens to be one of the four. After all the cliche rogue gun man had good odds of being an ork. Metrics and all.
  311. May 08 18:00:27 * Arachnae has quit (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
  312. May 08 18:02:40 <TeaGM> The interior of the AllMart was a stark contrast to the soot-covered exterior. Everything was a polished scheme of bright blues, yellows, and white. The tiled floors were shined to a gleam thanks to a handful of floor-scrubbing bots whirring around the floor. People are milling about, some heading to the shopping carts, others pushing by to reach the exit.
  313. May 08 18:03:05 <Xander> "..... This place always seems... too happy."
  314. May 08 18:03:36 <TeaGM> A scrub bot bumps into Xander's foot, then merrily chirrups its way along, polishing the floors of nasty soot.
  315. May 08 18:03:40 * Rabid_Child keeps pace with Xander. "Tell me about it."
  316. May 08 18:03:59 <TeaGM> above, the most inane of muzak could be heard
  317. May 08 18:04:10 <TeaGM> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdJWZxPW45c
  318. May 08 18:04:19 * SilkySeeker as another afterthought to fill time (she has lots of thoughts very quickly) checks to see if security has permissions to get admin access on the cleaning bots, one can never have too many minions.
  319. May 08 18:05:24 <Xander> "Who thought this music was a good idea..... Urrrrrrrrrrrgh." He shakes his head, keeping an eye out for anyone suspiciously armed.
  320. May 08 18:05:52 * Rabid_Child turns on the MP3 player in her jumpsuit.
  321. May 08 18:05:53 <Rabid_Child> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaTe_ynxk9o
  322. May 08 18:05:56 <Widow_Spider> "Silky, if you can, please inform me when the mark arrives." ... Arachnae buys three or four coffees, starting to go through them incredibly quickly.
  323. May 08 18:05:59 <Rabid_Child> "Let's keep going."
  324. May 08 18:06:46 <Widow_Spider> "remember, split up. Don't look like you're together if you can."
  325. May 08 18:07:01 <Rabid_Child> Mm.
  326. May 08 18:07:02 <TeaGM> ((Silky, please roll a Computer + Analyze (2) for me))
  327. May 08 18:07:22 * Xander wheels off from Rabid, heading towards the... apparel section.
  328. May 08 18:07:31 * SilkySeeker sighs and pulls a strained face "Darling Eight-Legs... I am looking as hard as I can"
  329. May 08 18:07:52 <TeaGM> As Xander approaches the apparel section, he can hear the loud obnoxious whistling of a nearby janitor, mopping the floors.
  330. May 08 18:07:54 <Widow_Spider> "That's fine, that's fine. Sorry, just... on edge. I'll be fine in a moment. Caffine."
  331. May 08 18:08:11 <SilkySeeker> !sr 10
  332. May 08 18:08:12 * ShadowDice rolled 10 dice for SilkySeeker and got ( 5 4 6 2 5 1 5 2 6 1 ) Hits: 5
  333. May 08 18:08:15 * Xander looks for a nametag.
  334. May 08 18:08:31 * Rabid_Child wanders up to sports, gazing into the windows. She turns away abruptly.
  335. May 08 18:09:29 <Widow_Spider> "... Idea. Might send a spirit in, depending."
  336. May 08 18:09:34 * You are now known as Arachnae
  337. May 08 18:09:55 <Arachnae> Message to Maestro "Names on the rest of the members?"
  338. May 08 18:10:16 <TeaGM> Xander peers at the janitor's nametag, and he can see JOHN emblazoned in the most corporate of fonts
  339. May 08 18:11:02 <Xander> "Excuse me, John?"
  340. May 08 18:11:10 * Xander isn't looking directly at him when he says this
  341. May 08 18:11:48 <TeaGM> The janitor continues mopping and whistling
  342. May 08 18:12:02 <Xander> Is he wearing headphones?
  343. May 08 18:12:18 * SilkySeeker continues pouring over the camera feeds, looking for anyone suspicious that might fit the demographics of the other three mercs... "... Oh heavens and cupcakes... why do they play the music in the security node!"
  344. May 08 18:12:28 <TeaGM> Xander checks for headphones, and very much, he is
  345. May 08 18:12:36 <TeaGM> One is in his ear
  346. May 08 18:12:39 <TeaGM> the other is looped around him
  347. May 08 18:13:33 * SilkySeeker rumbles and tries to listen in to any extra wireless traffic that does not belong... using the infrastructure of the Allmart as a listening device.

  558. May 08 19:06:45 <TeaGM> The family walks in and stares at Xander and the man he's carrying.
  559. May 08 19:07:04 <Xander> "My friend has narcolepsy, I'm so sorry."
  560. May 08 19:07:08 <TeaGM> Unfortunately for Lyle, his day was about to turn shittier.
  561. May 08 19:07:25 <TeaGM> He buckles over as a solid punch lands in his back
  562. May 08 19:07:49 <TeaGM> The family, meanwhile, stares, then just walks past without a word.
  563. May 08 19:08:06 <Xander> PHEW.
  564. May 08 19:08:28 <Xander> This store has those carousels of clothes, right
  565. May 08 19:08:28 <TeaGM> Kore gets up and starts surreptitioiusly walking towards the front
  566. May 08 19:08:49 <Rabid_Child> Got the fucker. Kid's got a glass chin.
  567. May 08 19:09:02 * Xander puts the janitor in one of them, then books it to the front
  568. May 08 19:09:04 <Arachnae> "Mark's entering near the front, I think."
  569. May 08 19:09:10 * SilkySeeker woops "We got a signal off, following to try and isolate now, Kore is bugging"
  570. May 08 19:09:13 * Arachnae actually said that already forever ago, I think.
  571. May 08 19:09:23 * Rabid_Child frisks the guy for weapons (if he's out?)
  572. May 08 19:09:42 <TeaGM> MEANWHILE outside
  573. May 08 19:09:46 <TeaGM> Nadia turns
  574. May 08 19:09:50 <TeaGM> at the sound of her name.
  575. May 08 19:09:53 <TeaGM> "Um, yes?"
  576. May 08 19:11:56 * SilkySeeker chimes in helpfully "so I think their routed, by a signal to the 'boss' went off to an intersection on 39th and 5th so that is probably the backup, we should bugout soon and get her some where safe"
  577. May 08 19:12:48 <Arachnae> "Hey, look. I have to say, this is probably really strange, but Silas has called down a group of mercenaries on your head. We've been hired to make sure those mercenaries /don't/ get you. It sounds like my crew's dealing with it pretty well, but we need to get you out. It's entirely possible that their backup will get here soon, and we need to get you off as fast as possible."
  578. May 08 19:13:07 <Arachnae> "Yo spirit get your ass over here to cover us."
  579. May 08 19:13:21 <TeaGM> Nadia is stunned by the sudden splurge of words. "Wha...what? What are you talking about?"
  580. May 08 19:13:51 * SilkySeeker orders the drone to target Kore when he exits the thing and then jumps to direct remote control in case sniping is called for...
  581. May 08 19:13:52 <TeaGM> meanwhile, Arachnae spots the Spirit of Man following her
  582. May 08 19:14:00 * SilkySeeker the Sky bounded drone...
  583. May 08 19:14:15 <Arachnae> "Come with me if you want to live, god damnit!" "If I point at someone, kill them."
  584. May 08 19:14:31 <Rabid_Child> I've gotta get the heck outta here... I think I just KTFO'd this loser.
  585. May 08 19:15:07 <TeaGM> "What?! Are you crazy? I'm not going with...look, if you want money, I don't have much. Now leave me alone before I call the cops."
  586. May 08 19:15:37 * SilkySeeker sends a general ping to everyone "Yo bug out of the store, Rabid, you can take the back exit if you want, looks like things gonna go down that way if you need to chill a sec"
  587. May 08 19:15:41 * Arachnae sighs.... and tries to cast Alter Memory on the girl, at force 2.

  593. May 08 19:17:19 <TeaGM> "Look, I'm going to go get security. You better leave alone right now."
  594. May 08 19:17:24 * Arachnae facepalms one more time, then tries something else. "COME WITH ME." Using her commanding voice adept power?
  595. May 08 19:17:43 <Arachnae> "Stupid idea. Silly, shoot up the place a bit but don't hit anyone"
  596. May 08 19:17:59 <Arachnae> "She's not listening."
  597. May 08 19:18:12 * SilkySeeker "um why not just set off a fire alarm?"
  598. May 08 19:18:28 <Arachnae> "Because then I can't convince her that my story is true, and thus she wouldn't go /with us/, she'd just go."
  599. May 08 19:18:40 * SilkySeeker "Fine"
  600. May 08 19:19:02 <TeaGM> ((Arachnae, please give me Leadership + WIL))
  601. May 08 19:19:02 <Xander> "PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ANYTHING."
  602. May 08 19:19:16 * Rabid_Child nods to the camera, makes a brisk pace for the back exit. For someone who fights for a living, she ain't super good. She finally bursts out of the double-doors and leans against the wall. For a moment, she tries to rub her face, and is instantaneously surprised at the helmet. She recovers.

  619. May 08 19:21:12 <TeaGM> Nadia follows, although she is not really sure why.
  620. May 08 19:21:20 * SilkySeeker Growls and commands the drones to stop "Make up your mind, these things are clumsy and slow"
  621. May 08 19:21:21 <TeaGM> Meanwhile, Kore steps out of the door
  622. May 08 19:21:21 <Arachnae> "Change of plans, bringing her into Silky's van."
  623. May 08 19:21:30 <TeaGM> upon seeing Nadia, however, his eyes widen.

  627. May 08 19:22:02 <TeaGM> Suddenly, Xander /slams/ into Kore
  628. May 08 19:22:15 <Arachnae> "Oh. OKAY RUN RUN RUN KEEP RUNNING."
  629. May 08 19:22:17 <Xander> "COMING THROUGH MOTHERFUCKER! MISS NADIA, THIS GUY'S TRYING TO KILL YOU, GO!"
  630. May 08 19:22:21 <TeaGM> A shot whizes by where Kore's head once was
  631. May 08 19:22:48 <TeaGM> Kore, slightly fazed gets up.

  753. May 08 19:48:25 <Xander> "And one relieved of his weapon!"
  754. May 08 19:48:25 <Arachnae> "Er, I think, anyways."
  755. May 08 19:48:56 <TeaGM> The crowd, now less curious, decides to just leave things alone. Weirder things happened in Puyallup.
  756. May 08 19:48:56 * SilkySeeker chirps in "Also we are gonna nead to head out to make this look good so you probably should give us some where to go with the mark"
  757. May 08 19:49:11 <TeaGM> They resume their daily lives, slightly interrupted by the scene, but all seems to be normal
  758. May 08 19:49:33 * Rabid_Child waits till they are out of it, and makes a runner to her car.
  759. May 08 19:49:51 <TeaGM> >>Ok, please keep her for now and message again when the back up crew is dealt with
  760. May 08 19:49:59 <TeaGM> >>we want to be absolutely sure she is safe
  761. May 08 19:50:10 <Arachnae> "...Silky, call the cops, K?"
  762. May 08 19:50:23 <Arachnae> "That'd be the easiest, I figure."
  763. May 08 19:50:53 <TeaGM> >>Are you ready to take on the rest of the mercs?
  764. May 08 19:51:11 <Rabid_Child> ... Oh dear.
  765. May 08 19:51:28 * SilkySeeker nods and her color scheme goes red and blue for a bit "On It" a quick description of some rogue action by perps, with photo ID of all the guys that were incapacitated... no mention of anything else.
  766. May 08 19:52:00 <Arachnae> "Actually we're just calling the cops on them"
  767. May 08 19:52:30 <TeaGM> >>...you....you called the cops?
  768. May 08 19:52:34 * SilkySeeker chirps "Security is in bound, time to bug out" the van doors close and it begins to gently pull out at an unsuspicious pace.
  769. May 08 19:52:51 <TeaGM> >>Did you get a read on who the backup are?!
  770. May 08 19:52:59 <TeaGM> >>Or just their location?!
  771. May 08 19:53:05 <Arachnae> "Yeah, the other group's dealing with them right now, as I recall."
  772. May 08 19:53:16 * SilkySeeker nods "Ya there located n 39th and 5th"
  773. May 08 19:53:27 <Arachnae> "It should be fine! Jebus, it's like you've never hired runners before. This is actually a pretty good run."
  774. May 08 19:53:33 <TeaGM> With that, an explosive sound rumbles through the air
  775. May 08 19:53:43 <Arachnae> "RUUUN"
  776. May 08 19:53:50 <TeaGM> All present turn southward towards the source of the sound, where a large cloud of smoke appears
  777. May 08 19:53:54 <Rabid_Child> I agree with that sentiment.
  778. May 08 19:54:03 <Mutt> Tch
  779. May 08 19:54:04 <Arachnae> "OKAY NEVERMIND THERE ARE BIGASS EXPLOSIONS THIS IS BAD."
  780. May 08 19:54:05 <TeaGM> right in the direction where their three fellow runners were...
  781. May 08 19:54:13 <TeaGM> ((END OF RUN))
  782. May 08 19:54:15 <Arachnae> "HOPEFULLY TEAM TWO IS LESS, UH, FUCKED"
  783. May 08 19:54:52 <Xander> "..... Fuck."
