  1. [4:33:13 AM] Rainer Underwood: For the record, Kay suggested Doc perform brain surgery to remove the cranial bombs on the survivors.
  2. [4:33:46 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: inb4 it was the ritual, not a bomb
  3. [4:34:11 AM] Rainer Underwood: Good guess!
  4. [4:34:21 AM] Frontier Siege: I still need an answer. Are you guys just sticking around at that place?
  5. [4:35:10 AM] Rainer Underwood: On the one hand, Kay knows full well that he probably shouldn't get any more involved than they already have.
  6. [4:35:11 AM] Frontier Siege: It being about an hour and 40 minutes after you initially opened fire.
  7. [4:35:31 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Yes, it's our new home now.
  8. [4:35:43 AM] Rainer Underwood: On the other, 130 bodies = go fuck yourself.
  9. [4:36:33 AM] Emily Faith: >what survivors
  10. [4:36:37 AM] Emily Faith: >they died
  11. [4:36:40 AM] Emily Faith: alla them
  12. [4:36:57 AM] Emily Faith: HOWEVER
  13. [4:37:00 AM] Frontier Siege: so, is that a yes?
  14. [4:37:05 AM] Rainer Underwood: We have four dudes don't we?
  15. [4:37:08 AM] Frontier Siege: You do!
  16. [4:37:10 AM] Frontier Siege: And that halloweener.
  17. [4:37:13 AM] Emily Faith: which four?
  18. [4:37:19 AM] Frontier Siege: 4 mooks that weren't killed
  19. [4:37:25 AM] Rainer Underwood: (We should probably rape-van them off somewhere for further "interrogation")
  20. [4:37:28 AM] Frontier Siege: 1 ganger from a faction antagonistic to loneK's
  21. [4:38:10 AM] Rainer Underwood: The punk-ass pussy one that gets topped by a troll just to get his dick wet.
  22. [4:38:26 AM] Frontier Siege: u.u
  23. [4:39:05 AM] Oracle: Eeey.
  24. [4:39:08 AM] Oracle: Este.
  25. [4:39:10 AM] Oracle: Karma!
  26. [4:39:12 AM] Emily Faith: oh, I thought the guys you shot up were dead dead
  27. [4:39:21 AM] Emily Faith: just sorting some stuff out
  28. [4:39:35 AM] Emily Faith: but yeah, if they've got cranial bombs, I'll try to surgery them out?
  29. [4:40:44 AM] Oracle: Cranial bombs are worth decent money.
  30. [4:40:54 AM] Oracle: They're also illegal as fuck.
  31. [4:41:09 AM] Emily Faith: also there are ethical issues!
  32. [4:41:19 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: What issues?
  33. [4:41:40 AM] Frontier Siege: Doc: You lug your medkit from the truck and check out the first alive mook. Scans show no cranial bombs. Sustained scanning for, say, ceramic-built bombs (or even any augs at all) show nothing.
  34. [4:41:44 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Este, can I summon Shedim spirits if I have a dead body to use as a vessel?
  35. [4:41:49 AM] Frontier Siege: You all hear helicopter rotors in the far distance.
  36. [4:41:51 AM] Frontier Siege: Derp: No
  37. [4:41:53 AM] Oracle: They're also one of the only augs that don't show up on a scanner.
  38. [4:41:56 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Why not? :c
  39. [4:42:03 AM] Frontier Siege: not your tradition
  40. [4:42:03 AM] Emily Faith: >Helicopters
  41. [4:42:04 AM] Oracle: So you can allahu ackbar them
  42. [4:42:18 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: You can summon spirits not part of your tradition.
  43. [4:42:36 AM] Emily Faith: ...So, I'm assuming 'sell the corpses to ghouls' is a no-go?
  44. [4:42:37 AM] Frontier Siege: Oh, is that so? Well, does Alice actually know this?
  45. [4:42:57 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Oh, I dunno...she's only a literal GENIUS and went to MAGIC COLLEGE.
  46. [4:42:59 AM] Frontier Siege: I will idly note to you all: LoneK grabbed video evidence of this pile existing.
  47. [4:43:02 AM] Frontier Siege: Just so you know for later
  48. [4:43:16 AM] Frontier Siege: So, did the Magic college teach her obscure and prolly evil spirits? :D
  49. [4:43:19 AM] Frontier Siege: anyway, sure, I guess
  50. [4:43:19 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp rubs her degree in the GM's face. ***
  51. [4:43:49 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Why wouldn't it? Ignorance of evil spirits won't protect you from them.
  52. [4:43:59 AM] Frontier Siege: anyway, sure, I guess
  53. [4:44:01 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: If anything, you're in even more danger.
  54. [4:44:04 AM] Frontier Siege: anyway, sure, I guess
  55. [4:44:10 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Este pls listen to reason
  56. [4:44:16 AM] Frontier Siege: okay, no, you cannot
  57. [4:44:16 AM] Emily Faith: [4:44 AM] Frontier Siege:
  58.  
  59. <<< anyway, sure, I guess
  60. [4:44:20 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Give me a second and I'll give you a few bullet points
  61. [4:44:28 AM] Frontier Siege: No, I'm literally ruling now, no you cannot.
  62. [4:44:36 AM] Frontier Siege: no sarcasm
  63. [4:44:36 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: No, wait, I have some bullets
  64. [4:45:04 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp compiles her PowerPoint. ***
  65. [4:45:19 AM] Oracle: If we're going to investigate blasphemous horrors of technoscience
  66. [4:45:24 AM] Emily Faith: SO GUYS, LET'S LOAD UP THE MOST SELLABLE BODIES (AND ALSO THE TARGET AND HER BF) INTO THE TRUCK AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF DODGE
  67. BECAUSE HELLIPOPTERS
  68. [4:45:26 AM] Oracle: we're going to need hazmat suits
  69. [4:45:34 AM] Frontier Siege: btw
  70. [4:45:36 AM] Frontier Siege: no downtime
  71. [4:45:39 AM] Emily Faith: well, one of us came prepared
  72. [4:45:40 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Are corpses really worth the trouble of selling?
  73. [4:45:42 AM] Frontier Siege: we'll continue this from where we left off on friday
  74. [4:45:43 AM] Oracle: Oh, fug.
  75. [4:45:50 AM] Emily Faith: yaaay friday
  76. [4:45:53 AM] Oracle: Este, can I get a lone Star contact?
  77. [4:46:06 AM] Oracle: Maybe Knight Errant too.
  78. [4:46:10 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Transportation, refrigeration, finding a buyer before decay gets too bad, etc.
  79. [4:46:13 AM] Oracle: :P
  80. [4:46:15 AM] Frontier Siege: I already okay'd it, you asshole
  81. [4:46:26 AM] Frontier Siege: oh hey rainer's here
  82. [4:46:26 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Avoiding the law, because you're selling corpses, etc.
  83. [4:46:29 AM] Frontier Siege: nevermind we're continuing this
  84. [4:46:32 AM] Frontier Siege: all of you shut the fuck up
  85. [4:46:42 AM] Frontier Siege: The helicopter rotors are getting louder.
  86. [4:46:44 AM] Frontier Siege: What do?
  87. [4:46:49 AM] Rainer Underwood: Pretty sure human flesh loses its "nutritional" value after a few hours of being dead, let alone a few days.
  88. [4:46:53 AM] Emily Faith: [4:46 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp:
  89.  
  90. <<< Transportation, refrigeration, finding a buyer before decay gets too bad, etc.I have a buyer I can turn up to RIGHT NOW, you just need to promise not to get me in trouble.
  91. [4:47:09 AM] Emily Faith: Rainer: ghouls can eat pretty rotted flesh, trust me.
  92. [4:47:10 AM] Frontier Siege: no more ooc discussion
  93. [4:47:16 AM] Rainer Underwood: or metahuman* as the case may be
  94. [4:47:17 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I think I recall the ghoul samurai from SR: Hong Kong--
  95. [4:47:23 AM] Frontier Siege: all future ooc discussion will be treated as wasting time IC
  96. [4:47:55 AM] Emily Faith: I say, IC "Grab the most unrotted corpses, and the prisoners, and the target, get to the truck and get out before shit goes down, right? Now."
  97. [4:48:08 AM] *** Emily Faith fireman carries a corpse over each arm. ***
  98. [4:48:40 AM] Frontier Siege: There are about six total corpses that aren't horribly decayed. They're all halloweener, and one hobo.
  99. [4:49:28 AM] Emily Faith: (also the 3 headsploded technicians)
  100. [4:49:30 AM | Edited 4:49:42 AM] Rainer Underwood: "Goddammit. Snap decision time - no bombs means these guys are getting spooked to death to keep them quiet. We either bag 'em and see if we can break the ritual hoping they don't go pop leaving the premesis, or finish 'em off to keep from getting made."
  101. [4:50:04 AM] Emily Faith: Estie: can I scan the dead techies for headbombs?
  102. [4:50:25 AM] Rainer Underwood: "...Seriously? It's a pick-up, not a semi. We barely have room for six extra bodies, let alone enough to make a profit."
  103. [4:51:05 AM] Frontier Siege: Emily: They have no heads anymore. You find no mechanical parts in their headsplatters.
  104. [4:51:09 AM | Edited 4:51:21 AM] Rainer Underwood: (By six I mean the targets and the surviving mooks.)
  105. [4:51:31 AM] Frontier Siege: Are you taking the living mooks with you?
  106. [4:51:31 AM] Oracle:
  107. "I got ropes. Truss em on the roof."
  108. [4:51:36 AM] Oracle: "Like a deer."
  109. [4:51:53 AM] Emily Faith: "What she said. Now pick up a dead person and get moving."
  110. [4:51:54 AM] Frontier Siege: The rotors are getting louder.
  111. [4:51:58 AM] Oracle: "Uh. Not sure how running corpses on the vehicle would make us look innocent."
  112. [4:52:08 AM] Oracle: "Although it wouldn't look out of place in the barrens..."
  113. [4:52:17 AM] Emily Faith: "We stick a fucking tarp over them, get the fuck on with it already."
  114. [4:52:20 AM] *** Oracle makes her way out to the door. ***
  115. [4:52:35 AM] *** Rainer Underwood grabs the targets, just to make sure they don't forget. ***
  116. [4:52:48 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Please tell me the targets are dressed.)
  117. [4:53:01 AM] Emily Faith: (estie: how many corpses can I carry in one go?)
  118. [4:53:08 AM] Frontier Siege: Mmm...2?
  119. [4:53:26 AM] Frontier Siege: Have any of you searched the captured mooks?
  120. [4:53:32 AM] Frontier Siege: At all?
  121. [4:53:34 AM] Emily Faith: (yeah, liz did iirc?)
  122. [4:53:37 AM] Frontier Siege: I don't remember ever hearing that.
  123. [4:53:45 AM] Emily Faith: (she was looking for IDs and stuff)
  124. [4:53:50 AM] Frontier Siege: If anyone said they did, I know I never announced what was on them
  125. [4:53:55 AM] Rainer Underwood: I thought we did a general "Search everything"
  126. [4:53:59 AM] Frontier Siege: Oh, yeah, IDs. I don't mean rifling through their pockets.
  127. [4:54:23 AM] Rainer Underwood: I also definitely a nnounced that gear and weapons and shit was fair loot.
  128. [4:54:27 AM] Emily Faith: unrelatedly https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xla1/t31.0-8/s960x960/10012752_10153986363142920_112206927142663810_o.jpg
  129. [4:54:27 AM] Rainer Underwood: IC
  130. [4:54:35 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Guys, we're wasting valuable IC time with this OOC shit.
  131. [4:54:39 AM] Frontier Siege: Alright, well!
  132. [4:54:46 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: You'll just have to assume I checked the mooks. ;D
  133. [4:54:53 AM] Frontier Siege: So, Emily carries 2 corpses to the car.
  134. [4:54:57 AM] Frontier Siege: What does everyone else do?
  135. [4:55:11 AM] Frontier Siege: tell me right now
  136. [4:55:16 AM] Rainer Underwood: Kay prioritized the targets' corpses
  137. [4:55:19 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I carry two corpses back inside from the car.
  138. [4:55:20 AM] *** Oracle runs to the truck and starts it up. ***
  139. [4:55:27 AM] Oracle: <Come on, let's go.>
  140. [4:55:38 AM] Frontier Siege: What is done with the 4 living mooks and the halloweener?
  141. [4:55:58 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Mind Probe.
  142. [4:56:03 AM] Emily Faith: (liz srsly?)
  143. [4:56:18 AM] Rainer Underwood: Well, I'd wanted to bring them with so we could figure something out, but apparently warm bodies matter less than cold ones.
  144. [4:56:30 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: (hm?)
  145. [4:56:46 AM] Emily Faith: (you're putting my dinner BACK?)
  146. [4:57:06 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: (You can eat LoneK.)
  147. [4:57:08 AM] Rainer Underwood: (The implication seems to be that they're ritual'd to go pop if they think about things they shouldn't. I wouldn't risk Mind Probe, personally.)
  148. [4:57:26 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Oh, sorry, I forgot who I was playing with. Nevermind.)
  149. [4:57:41 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: (Please, tell me NOT to do something risky.)
  150. [4:57:53 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: (SEE WHAT HAPPENS)
  151. [4:58:21 AM] Rainer Underwood: (You do something risky, fuck the mission, and then wonder why things went poorly. No, I think I get the picture.)
  152. [4:58:42 AM] Emily Faith: So, assuming we've got some corpses and the targets in the car, are we good to go?
  153. [4:58:58 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Sure, minus any potential intel.)
  154. [4:59:00 AM] Frontier Siege: I need to know, are you taking the mooks to the car or not?
  155. [4:59:03 AM] Frontier Siege: I need an answer.
  156. [4:59:08 AM] Frontier Siege: What do you do with the mooks and halloweener?
  157. [4:59:14 AM] Frontier Siege: Liz, if you're doing mind probe, roll it.
  158. [4:59:35 AM] Emily Faith: If nobody else is doing anything, I'll grab a mook and the halloweener.
  159. [4:59:41 AM] Rainer Underwood: Well, we've clearly prioritized the dead bodies, and I don't know if we even have room for the others.
  160. [4:59:49 AM] Emily Faith: Remember: I'm faster than these guys!
  161. [4:59:58 AM] Emily Faith: bich we pile 'em up and sit on top of 'em
  162. [5:00:01 AM] Emily Faith: it's not hard
  163. [5:00:03 AM] Frontier Siege: Hold up.
  164. [5:00:05 AM] Frontier Siege: Pause, pause :v
  165. [5:00:11 AM] *** Rainer Underwood pauses. ***
  166. [5:00:11 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I'm not doing that ICly.
  167. [5:00:26 AM] Frontier Siege: Do you grab the 2 corpses, then go back for a mook and a halloweener Emily?
  168. [5:00:44 AM] Frontier Siege: I'll stress for the eighth time that time is of grave importance
  169. [5:01:22 AM] Emily Faith: Is anybody else grabbing them?
  170. [5:02:00 AM] Rainer Underwood: (If we're up for trying to get actual info out of these guys, sure, Kay'll help.)
  171. [5:02:15 AM] Frontier Siege: Okay, so rewind I guess.
  172. [5:02:18 AM] Frontier Siege: semi-pause
  173. [5:02:22 AM] Frontier Siege: EMILY what do you get on your first trip
  174. [5:02:29 AM] Frontier Siege: I-It shouldn't be this hard to get straight answers
  175. [5:02:32 AM] Emily Faith: The target and her boyf
  176. [5:02:42 AM] Frontier Siege: RAINER what do you get on your first trip
  177. [5:03:10 AM] *** Oracle drives up closer to make this process faster. ***
  178. [5:03:40 AM] Rainer Underwood: Mooks. Fuck the Weener
  179. [5:03:49 AM] Frontier Siege: LIZ what do you do?
  180. [5:04:33 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Also, I'd just like to point out that I had already answer the question twice before it was asked. That answer had been "The targets' bodies.")
  181. [5:04:46 AM] Frontier Siege: (im just clarifying, sorry~)
  182. [5:04:52 AM] Emily Faith: (it has been confusing)
  183. [5:04:57 AM] Rainer Underwood: (It has.)
  184. [5:05:20 AM] Frontier Siege: assuming liz does nothing because she's too dainty
  185. [5:05:27 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter is getting CLOSE
  186. [5:05:30 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT do you DO
  187. [5:05:30 AM] Rainer Underwood: Probably.
  188. [5:06:05 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I AM too dainty.
  189. [5:06:09 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I'm a fucking magician
  190. [5:06:23 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Do I look like physical labor is my forte?
  191. [5:06:23 AM] Rainer Underwood: (What do we currently have in the truck?)
  192. [5:06:42 AM] Frontier Siege: TWO MOOKS
  193. DEAD BOYFRIEND
  194. DEAD GIRLFRIEND
  195. [5:06:51 AM] Emily Faith: (is oracle carrying anybody?)
  196. [5:06:53 AM] Frontier Siege: NO
  197. [5:07:01 AM] Frontier Siege: Oracle drove the car closer to make it easier to load bodies in
  198. [5:07:02 AM] Frontier Siege: faster*
  199. [5:07:08 AM] *** Rainer Underwood piles on more mooks. ***
  200. [5:07:10 AM] Frontier Siege: the car is now parked directly outside
  201. [5:07:20 AM] Frontier Siege: To clarify, you go bac inside and grab the other two mooks?
  202. [5:07:30 AM] Frontier Siege: Alright then. EMILY, LIZ, ORACLE, WHAT DO YOU DO
  203. [5:07:42 AM] Emily Faith: (right)
  204. [5:07:44 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Yus)
  205. [5:07:44 AM] Oracle: "Time to haul ass, guys."
  206. [5:07:55 AM] Oracle: "Got black hawks in the air."
  207. [5:08:03 AM] Emily Faith: I go back, GRAB THE HALLOWEENER and a dead techie, back to the van.
  208. [5:08:13 AM] Frontier Siege: LIZ what do you do
  209. [5:08:22 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Someone grab that Jackhead; I don't think he has the balls to keep quiet about anything.>
  210. [5:08:32 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I'm dithering about, because I'm a collegial scholar and not a career criminal or badass.
  211. [5:08:37 AM] Emily Faith: (what's a jackhead)
  212. [5:08:37 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Oh, good, you got it already.)
  213. [5:08:43 AM] Frontier Siege: (random insult)
  214. [5:08:44 AM] Frontier Siege: OKAY
  215. [5:08:47 AM] Frontier Siege: the car now has
  216. [5:08:50 AM] Frontier Siege: FOUR LIVING MOOKS
  217. [5:08:52 AM] Frontier Siege: DEAD BOYFRIEND
  218. [5:08:54 AM] Rainer Underwood: (For Halloweeners specifically, yes.)
  219. [5:08:55 AM] Frontier Siege: DEAD GIRLFRIEND
  220. [5:09:01 AM] Frontier Siege: HEADLESS MAN IN A HAZMAT SUIT (SEALED)

  223. [5:09:21 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT DO YOU DO
  224. [5:09:30 AM] Frontier Siege: THE HELICOPTER IS VERY, VERY, VERY CLOSE
  225. [5:09:30 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Tarp 'em and GO)
  226. [5:09:49 AM] Frontier Siege: WHO IS DRIVING
  227. [5:09:55 AM] *** Oracle raises hand. ***
  228. [5:09:58 AM] Emily Faith: (oracle presumably)
  229. [5:10:05 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT DO YOU DO, ORACLE
  230. [5:10:09 AM] *** Rainer Underwood is riding his bike. ***
  231. [5:10:15 AM] *** Oracle drives off, howling into the distance. ***
  232. [5:10:20 AM] *** Oracle turns on the radio. ***
  233. [5:10:23 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp hangs halfway out the window to avoid puking from the GOD AWFUL smell of ROTTING CORPSES filling the vehicle TO THE BRIM. ***
  234. [5:10:27 AM] Frontier Siege: WHICH DIRECTLY DO YOU DRIVE
  235. [5:10:32 AM] Frontier Siege: THE CITY IS TO THE EAST
  236. [5:10:37 AM] Frontier Siege: THE HELICOPTER IS TO THE NORTH
  237. [5:10:43 AM] Frontier Siege: THE BARRENS EXTEND TO THE SOUTH, AND THE WEST
  238. [5:10:44 AM] Oracle: I'm following Rainer.
  239. [5:10:51 AM] Frontier Siege: RAINER, WHERE DO YOU GO
  240. [5:10:53 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp assures them all she will not be working with any of you ever again. D: ***
  241. [5:10:57 AM] Oracle: He knows this area better than me.
  242. [5:11:15 AM] Oracle: Also, I take out the fresh pine tree of new car smell and stick it on the back.
  243. [5:11:32 AM] Oracle: Immediately neutralizing the foul foeter and decay of several rotting corpses.
  244. [5:11:40 AM] Oracle: Also, there's a bag of body bags at the back.
  245. [5:11:41 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Right so, I'm assuming we DON'T wanna drag this mess into corporate space. Exnay on the etcitay, right?>
  246. [5:11:45 AM] Frontier Siege: Oracle: Your car probably has a setting that's like an AC except it spews a scent of your choice.
  247. [5:11:51 AM] Frontier Siege: You can download scents off the internet.
  248. [5:11:53 AM] Oracle: If you wanna stuff em while you're there.
  249. [5:12:11 AM] Frontier Siege: Rainer, WHICH DIRECTION DO YOU GO IN
  250. [5:12:25 AM] Frontier Siege: WHICH DIRECTLY DO YOU DRIVE
  251. THE CITY IS TO THE EAST

  257. [5:12:50 AM] Emily Faith: (Estie: how far from here does Greg Ames live?)
  258. [5:13:01 AM] Oracle: "Yeah. Let's try to lay low."
  259. [5:13:06 AM] Frontier Siege: He's about two and a half miles to the northwest
  260. [5:13:12 AM] Frontier Siege: What DIRECTION do you DRIVE in
  261. [5:13:26 AM] *** Oracle hits the ham. <Just make sure I can catch up with yah, kay?> ***
  262. [5:13:37 AM] Frontier Siege: All further answers that aren't a cardinal direction are 'do nothing while deliberating'
  263. [5:13:39 AM] *** Emily Faith points northwest. "I got a guy we can dump the bodies with, over thattaway." ***
  264. [5:14:10 AM] *** Frontier Siege just wants actual answers ***
  265. [5:14:15 AM] *** Rainer Underwood heads deeper into the Barrens, leading them WEST. <Gotcha. Follow my lead, I got a few tricks up my sleeve if we need to vanish quick.> ***
  266. [5:14:52 AM] Frontier Siege: You peel off to the west, getting out of there about 15 seconds before the helicopter bathes the area in a search light. It looks very menacing and worrisome.
  267. [5:15:11 AM] *** Emily Faith is fucking bricking it. ***
  268. [5:15:37 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: "Oh god, you're all psychopaths and I'm going to die out here. You're taking me somewhere to kill me." Alice rants worriedly in the car.
  269. [5:15:41 AM] Emily Faith: (also you guys should totes change your skype names temporarilly for this)
  270. [5:15:48 AM] Frontier Siege: As you drive to the WEST, you see dozens and dozens of ghouls, gangers, trash, mutants, freaks, and fools peeking their heads out of the windows, doors, sewers, and holes where they live to look at the helicopter.
  271. [5:16:08 AM] Frontier Siege: Thankfully, they're all too freaked out by the helicopter to care about you (much)
  272. [5:16:08 AM] Rainer Underwood: (I WASN'T EXPECTING AN IMPROMPTU SESH AT FIVE IN THE MORNING.)
  273. [5:16:21 AM] *** Emily Faith waves to her brethren, slightly crazy with adrenaline. ***
  274. [5:16:22 AM] Frontier Siege: <3
  275. [5:16:30 AM] Frontier Siege: YOU SEEM TO HAVE MADE IT AWAY SAFELY
  276. [5:16:36 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter banks WEST
  277. [5:16:57 AM] *** Oracle drives. ***

  281. [5:17:14 AM] Oracle: "Should we go dark and wait for it to pass?"
  282. [5:17:15 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: \o
  283. [5:17:20 AM] Oracle: "Or keep on for hard leather?"
  284. [5:17:31 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: "Quick, pull into an alley!"
  285. [5:17:37 AM] Emily Faith: "CMG, yer more useful alive than dead. Go dark. We wanna be Not Followed before we dump our stuff off."
  286. [5:17:41 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: "I'll throw up an illusion!"
  287. [5:17:57 AM] Emily Faith: "CMG, yer MUCH more useful alive than dead."
  288. [5:18:17 AM] Frontier Siege: Oracle and Rainer
  289. [5:18:19 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT do you DO
  290. [5:18:46 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: [19:18] College Mage Girl: -sr 14 Spellcasting: Trid Phantasm (Force 6)
  291. [19:18] B-Cell: Games: College Mage Girl's roll: 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, total of 4 successes.
  292. [5:18:54 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT are you TRID PHANTASMING
  293. [5:19:10 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Us
  294. [5:19:31 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Encase the car in the illusion of a pair of large public dumpsters
  295. [5:19:41 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Or if we wanna keep rolling, a different car.
  296. [5:19:42 AM] *** Oracle attempts to hide the vehicle from the inevitable thermographic sights the searchers overtop have. ***
  297. [5:19:43 AM] Frontier Siege: While you are DRIVING down the STREET?
  298. [5:19:52 AM] Frontier Siege: Oracle attempts to hide the vehicle from the inevitable thermographic sights the searchers overtop have.HOW are you doing THIS
  299. [5:19:57 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I said pull over :P
  300. [5:20:01 AM] Oracle: Yeah.
  301. [5:20:14 AM] *** Oracle pulls over to some... very smelly dumpsters. ***
  302. [5:20:21 AM] *** Frontier Siege isn't treating 'pull over' as '/me pulls over' ***
  303. [5:20:31 AM] *** Oracle turns on the AC to 'icy cold.' ***
  304. [5:20:39 AM] *** Emily Faith searches the bodies for tracking devices. ***
  305. [5:20:42 AM] Emily Faith: :D
  306. [5:20:44 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: >_>
  307. [5:20:45 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: <_<
  308. [5:20:57 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp makes the illusion a small garbage fire instead and the vehicle a heap of garbage ***
  309. [5:21:11 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp thinks that should account for any anomylous heat signs ***
  310. [5:21:22 AM] Frontier Siege: that is CLEVER
  311. [5:21:34 AM] Emily Faith: (it is, isn't it?)
  312. [5:21:35 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter FLIES DIRECTLY OVER YOU AND PAST YOU
  313. [5:21:44 AM] Frontier Siege: it SEEMS that the worst is OVER and you have LOST THEM
  314. [5:22:03 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter COMES TO A STOP, BANKS, and SLOWLY TURNS AROUND BACK TOWARDS YOU
  315. [5:22:08 AM] *** Emily Faith is quietly hyperventilating as she checks for bugs. ***
  316. [5:22:17 AM] Oracle: "Ah, fuck."
  317. [5:22:22 AM] Frontier Siege: they seem to have REALIZED they have LOST YOU and know WHICH DIRECTION YOU ARE IN
  318. [5:22:33 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp flips off the helicopter from behind the illusion. ***
  319. [5:22:54 AM] Emily Faith: (I love how estie puts RELEVENT INFORMATION in ALL CAPS)
  320. [5:23:07 AM] Frontier Siege: the HELICOPTER'S SEARCHLIGHT begins to BASK THE STREETS AND ALLEYS IN LIGHT
  321. [5:23:14 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: ESTIE enjoys a nice AFTERNOON SESSION of SEX WITH STRANGERS.
  322. [5:23:16 AM] Oracle: "LoneK... you think we have a better shot splitting up?"
  323. [5:23:50 AM] *** Oracle unlimbers the grenade launcher from underneath the baby safety chair, and takes out a tripod from underneath the seat. ***
  324. [5:24:15 AM] *** Oracle racks it in the trunk bed. ***
  325. [5:24:38 AM] Frontier Siege: the SEARCH LIGHT directly PASSES OVER YOU, but thankfully CONTINUES
  326. [5:24:40 AM] Oracle: "Here. Have some high explosive. It's expensive."
  327. [5:24:41 AM] *** Emily Faith SEARCHES for TRACKING DEVICES on the CORPSES AND PRISONERS ***
  328. [5:24:44 AM] Frontier Siege: they seem to have a VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE YOU ARE
  329. [5:24:47 AM] *** Rainer Underwood marks a location for Elize. <There's a busted wall leading into the sewers. They're lousy with giant rats and shit, but they shouldn't be able to keep up the chase without a ground team. I can hold the chopper's attention.>> ***
  330. [5:25:05 AM] Oracle: "Think we can shoot the chopper out of the sky?"
  331. [5:25:16 AM] Oracle: "If LoneK gets them out of sight?"
  332. [5:25:21 AM] Frontier Siege: Doc: You are now aware that CORPORATE SOLDIERS, in addition to all gear that isn't owned by street trash, often has MANY TRACKING CHIPS
  333. [5:25:39 AM] Frontier Siege: and that NOBODY thought to check for the RFID TAG TRACKING CHIPS
  334. [5:25:56 AM] Oracle: Well, we're street.
  335. [5:25:59 AM] Frontier Siege: it is likely that the HELICOPTER is TRACKING the moving MOOKS
  336. [5:26:02 AM] Oracle: How the heck would we know.
  337. [5:26:38 AM] Rainer Underwood: (That's the kind of shit you learn the hard way.)
  338. [5:26:41 AM] Frontier Siege: RFID TAGS are COMMON outside of the street
  339. [5:26:43 AM] *** Emily Faith begins METHODICALLY REMOVING all the TRACKING CHIPS, using surgery where needed, and collects them in a little baggie to be disposed of. ***
  340. [5:26:46 AM] Frontier Siege: YOU WERE NOT ALWAYS STREET, eliza
  341. [5:26:56 AM] Frontier Siege: DOC: Roll me...whatever search is.
  342. [5:27:13 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Probably Perception I guess?)
  343. [5:27:52 AM] Emily Faith: intuition + perception?
  344. [5:28:01 AM] Frontier Siege: It's just chips within their armor and clothes (every article). However, there are indeed some chips under their skin. Their cyberlimbs (each man has 1) also likely has chips in them.
  345. [5:28:15 AM] Emily Faith: let's get that shit removed :D
  346. [5:28:37 AM] Oracle: (Anyone else have Heavy Weapons or Drive?)
  347. [5:28:38 AM] Rainer Underwood: (I believe someone had a tag eraser on them? Busting them is also an option, though removing them gives us the option of leading them away.)
  348. [5:28:48 AM] Emily Faith: (11223356)
  349. [5:28:55 AM] *** Rainer Underwood has Drive. He's currently Driving though.) ***
  350. [5:29:01 AM] Frontier Siege: It will take the entire party, working together, 3 minutes of searching bodies to find the chips, before surgery even happens. This may be faster or slower based on rolls.
  351. [5:29:12 AM] Frontier Siege: a TAG ERASER would help a LOT
  352. [5:29:16 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Kek
  353. [5:29:18 AM] Frontier Siege: as would DITCHING THE BODIES
  354. [5:29:21 AM] Oracle: (I don't even need peeps to be an action hero or anything. Just drive the car so I can shoot the grenade launcher.
  355. [5:29:21 AM] Emily Faith: (oh shit, I have one of them!)
  356. [5:29:27 AM] Emily Faith: tag ereser here we go!
  357. [5:30:31 AM] Emily Faith: (also, spending an edge on that roll to re-roll all the not-hits?)
  358. [5:30:31 AM] *** Rainer Underwood can set his bike on auto pilot and remote-pilot the car.) ***
  359. [5:30:49 AM] Frontier Siege: you use the TAG ERASER to IDEALLY purge THREE of the mooks of their tags.
  360. [5:30:59 AM] Frontier Siege: your TAG ERASER runs out of charge
  361. [5:31:06 AM] Emily Faith: (getting 334556)
  362. [5:31:11 AM] Emily Faith: (so 5 hits total)
  363. [5:31:14 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter's spotlight is VERY SLOWLY searching the EXACT ALLEY you are hiding in
  364. [5:31:29 AM] Emily Faith: I guess I'm just gonna smash the remaining tags with a small hammer?
  365. [5:31:36 AM] Frontier Siege: the BRIGHT LIGHT shines DIRECTLY in through your windows (through the illusion)
  366. [5:31:55 AM] Emily Faith: "Right you useless cunts, get back here and help me with this, capiche?"
  367. [5:32:00 AM] Frontier Siege: one fast ooc question I wanna check really fast
  368. [5:32:00 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Fuck it, stuff all his shit into a bag; I'll drive off with it while you guy ssearch for anything under his skin.>
  369. [5:32:06 AM] Frontier Siege: hold up, pause a second
  370. [5:32:14 AM] Frontier Siege: why are you guys taking the mooks again?
  371. [5:32:27 AM] Rainer Underwood: (To interrogate them?)
  372. [5:32:27 AM] Oracle: I don't like that you can pause whenever you want, but we never have time to think
  373. [5:32:31 AM] Oracle: Z_Z
  374. [5:32:34 AM] Emily Faith: (to interrogate them?)
  375. [5:32:36 AM] Frontier Siege: why do you want to interrogate them?
  376. [5:32:37 AM] Oracle: Also, it's 4am for me.
  377. [5:32:42 AM] Rainer Underwood: (GM has priority on shit like that.)
  378. [5:32:45 AM] Oracle: Not exactly think quick time of my life.
  379. [5:32:49 AM] Frontier Siege: I don't like that you can pause whenever you want, but we never have time to think
  380. Z_ZI pause so we can have a discussion without you guys forgetting to respond to me
  381. [5:32:56 AM] Emily Faith: (to work out wtf is going on?)
  382. [5:33:13 AM] Frontier Siege: Why do you want to do that?
  383. [5:33:33 AM] Oracle: Because we're not just amoral mercenaries.
  384. [5:33:40 AM] Oracle: We're suicidal, idealist mercs.
  385. [5:33:40 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Because fuck the people behind this.)
  386. [5:34:02 AM] Frontier Siege: So you're getting deeper into this, okay
  387. [5:34:05 AM] Frontier Siege: proceed, sorry <3
  388. [5:34:19 AM] Rainer Underwood: (We're seeing where it leads at least.)
  389. [5:34:41 AM] Emily Faith: (also I might get a job from them: I like the cut of these guys' jib)
  390. [5:34:46 AM] *** Oracle lets Rainer jack into the truck as she scrambles to the back of the flatbed. ***
  391. [5:34:57 AM] Oracle: "We gotta move!"
  392. [5:35:23 AM] Frontier Siege: So, are you getting out all of the chips and giving them to Rainer?
  393. [5:35:31 AM] *** Rainer Underwood gecko-grips himself to his bike as he throws it into aout-pilot so he can VR the truck. ***
  394. [5:35:41 AM] Emily Faith: (Yes)
  395. [5:35:57 AM] Oracle: Is the helicopter very close?
  396. [5:36:06 AM] Frontier Siege: it is VERY VERY CLOSE
  397. [5:36:13 AM] Frontier Siege: it is DIRECTLY OVERHEAD
  398. [5:36:25 AM] Oracle: Can I aim at the pilot with a rifle?
  399. [5:36:41 AM] Frontier Siege: you CANNOT because he is on the TOP of the helicopter, and you are on the BOTTOM
  400. [5:36:42 AM] Oracle: Or a grenade launcher?
  401. [5:36:48 AM] Frontier Siege: you can see the helicopter CLOSELY now
  402. [5:37:07 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I find it ironic that as soon as we lose both TMs, we run into this problem.
  403. [5:37:08 AM] *** Rainer Underwood gets these morons out of there as he directs his bike in the other direction. ***
  404. [5:37:10 AM] Frontier Siege: it is an ATTACK chopper, fit to transport TWELVE HIGH RESPONSE TEAM SOLDIERS
  405. [5:37:19 AM] Oracle: I load a high explosive grenade.
  406. [5:37:22 AM] Frontier Siege: it has ROCKETS and two AUTOCANNONS
  407. [5:37:23 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: And our rigger, which could have taken control of the copter
  408. [5:37:39 AM] *** Rainer Underwood is picking up the rigger's slack. ***
  409. [5:37:50 AM] Frontier Siege: pause, so lemme see
  410. [5:37:56 AM] Frontier Siege: because I think that nobody is aware of what rainer is doing
  411. [5:37:59 AM] Frontier Siege: except for me and rainer
  412. [5:38:01 AM] Frontier Siege: is that correct?
  413. [5:38:09 AM] *** Rainer Underwood would not be surprised.) ***
  414. [5:38:20 AM] Frontier Siege: LONEK has taken the CHIPS that the helicopter is TRACKING YOU BY and has BEGUN TO DRIVE AWAY with them
  415. [5:38:23 AM] Frontier Siege: (Is that correct?)
  416. [5:38:34 AM] Rainer Underwood: (That is indeed the plan.)
  417. [5:38:51 AM] Frontier Siege: Meanwhile he is RIGGING the TRUCK and making it rive the OTHER DIRECTION, presumably after a brief delay
  418. [5:39:00 AM] Rainer Underwood: (The bike's on auto while I drive the truck remotely so that Elize can help find any last chips.)
  419. [5:39:25 AM] Frontier Siege: LONEK: the HELICOPTER begins to immediately GIVE PURSUIT as it attempts to STABILIZE its SPOTLIGHT on you to see where and what this MOVING SMALL THING with the TRACKING SIGNALS is
  420. [5:39:54 AM] *** Rainer Underwood sets the bike to EVADE PURSUIT. ***
  421. [5:40:09 AM] Frontier Siege: it drives VERY FAST
  422. [5:40:15 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter is ABOUT AS FAST
  423. [5:40:22 AM] Frontier Siege: but it is having trouble GETTING ITS SPOTLIGHT on you
  424. [5:40:27 AM] *** Rainer Underwood is glad he gecko-gripped to it. ***
  425. [5:40:41 AM] Frontier Siege: ROLL ME your DRIVE in whatever INCARNATION that IS, whether DRIVE or an AUTOSOFT or WHATEVER
  426. [5:40:41 AM] *** Oracle fires a high explosive grenade at the helicopter's underbelly. ***
  427. [5:40:54 AM] *** Rainer Underwood 's EVASION sub-routines tend to stick to ALLEYS when possible. ***
  428. [5:41:15 AM] Frontier Siege: Eliza: Are you SURE you want to OPEN FIRE on an ATTACK HELICOPTER that is FLYING AWAY from you
  429. [5:41:47 AM] Oracle: I don't want Rainer to die!
  430. [5:41:56 AM] Rainer Underwood: [05:41] B-Cell: Games: LoneK's roll: 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, 6, total of 4 successes.
  431. [5:41:58 AM] Frontier Siege: I just want to make SURE
  432. [5:42:00 AM] Rainer Underwood: (I got this)
  433. [5:42:18 AM] Oracle: If we can take it down, we're home free.
  434. [5:42:24 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Well, my bikes Autopilot's got this.)
  435. [5:42:31 AM] Frontier Siege: IF
  436. [5:42:54 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Not worth the trouble.)
  437. [5:43:13 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: rip
  438. [5:43:21 AM] *** Oracle takes the shot! ***
  439. [5:43:26 AM] Oracle: Shoot the shot!
  440. [5:43:32 AM] Frontier Siege: your ARES EXPERIENCE will help you note that while it is NOT an ARES CHOPPER of IMPECCABLE MAKE, it is the kind of ATTACK HELICOPTER taken into WARZONES
  441. [5:43:41 AM] Frontier Siege: ROLL the DICE at -6
  442. [5:43:56 AM] Oracle: It's close range, isn't it?
  443. [5:44:01 AM] Oracle: How far is it?
  444. [5:44:05 AM] Frontier Siege: It is RAPIDLY MOVING AWAY from you
  445. [5:44:13 AM] Frontier Siege: hmm
  446. [5:44:16 AM] Frontier Siege: actually no, only -4
  447. [5:44:18 AM] Oracle: This is a heavy weapon
  448. [5:44:26 AM] Frontier Siege: whats the range on your gun?
  449. [5:44:40 AM] Emily Faith: test
  450. [5:44:46 AM] Oracle: I have a extreme range band of 500, uh, units.
  451. [5:44:49 AM] Frontier Siege: hmm
  452. [5:44:51 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: 666
  453. [5:44:54 AM] Oracle: meters, I presume
  454. [5:45:00 AM] Frontier Siege: actually no, only -4for being a quickly moving helicopter and the darkness making it difficult for you
  455. [5:45:01 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: because it's edgy af
  456. [5:45:16 AM] Frontier Siege: if it weren't for the spotlight on it it'd be MUCH worse, but as it stands its still hard to make out exactly where it is
  457. [5:46:23 AM] Frontier Siege: ROLL the DICE to ANTAGONIZE the DRAGON
  458. [5:47:08 AM] Oracle: I'll burn Edge to smack it down.
  459. [5:47:18 AM] Oracle: Go down to 4.
  460. [5:47:29 AM] Frontier Siege: 4 what?
  461. [5:47:32 AM] Frontier Siege: roll the dice yo
  462. [5:47:40 AM] Oracle: I succeed, with four net hits.
  463. [5:48:02 AM] Frontier Siege: And...what's the DV and AP?
  464. [5:48:10 AM] Oracle: High Explosive Grenade.
  465. [5:48:15 AM] Frontier Siege: Which is what?
  466. [5:48:24 AM] Oracle: 16P.
  467. [5:48:31 AM] Frontier Siege: And what is the AP?
  468. [5:48:32 AM] Oracle: AP -2
  469. [5:48:35 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: KOd it
  470. [5:48:48 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: heli is ded
  471. [5:48:57 AM] *** Oracle furrows her eyebrow as she takes a long breath. ***
  472. [5:49:06 AM] Frontier Siege: the GRENADE sails through the AIR and impacts the UNDERSIDE of the HELICOPTER, briefly sending it OFF-CENTER.
  473. [5:49:31 AM] Frontier Siege: It immediately BANKS and comes after YOU. The SPOTLIGHT is directly on your TRUCK, which is SIGNIFIGANTLY more CUMBERSOME than the SPEEDY MOTORCYCLE
  474. [5:49:35 AM] *** Rainer Underwood speaks up through the truck's speakers. <...Please tell me that didn't actually just happen.> ***
  475. [5:50:25 AM] Emily Faith: <It seems so>
  476. [5:50:32 AM] *** Oracle aims at its rotors. ***
  477. [5:50:38 AM] Frontier Siege: it seems that the DISTRACTION TACTIC has FAILED, as the HELICOPTER has stopped caring about the BAIT and is now after your VEHICLE
  478. [5:50:48 AM] Emily Faith: <CMG, an illusion of our truck speeding off rightabout now, please>
  479. [5:50:58 AM] Frontier Siege: you are CURRENTLY SPEEDING OFF already
  480. [5:51:06 AM] Frontier Siege: your VEHICLE is being PILOTED by an AUTOPILOT
  481. [5:51:12 AM] Frontier Siege: sending you in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION
  482. [5:51:12 AM] *** Rainer Underwood swears. <Se-curo ja!> ***
  483. [5:51:27 AM] Oracle: What's the penalty now, Este?
  484. [5:51:29 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Nah, I got the truck.)
  485. [5:51:31 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: \o/
  486. [5:51:32 AM] Rainer Underwood: (By remote.)
  487. [5:51:33 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: rip
  488. [5:51:36 AM] Frontier Siege: the penalty is now -3
  489. [5:51:47 AM] Frontier Siege: if you are aiming at its rotors, take an additional -4
  490. [5:51:58 AM] Emily Faith: <CMG, in yer own time, we got no pressing concerns>
  491. [5:52:17 AM] Oracle: If the helicopter is still up, then holy shit. It's a flying tank.
  492. [5:52:22 AM] Oracle: Jeeze.
  493. [5:52:25 AM] *** Rainer Underwood feels the need to clarify just what he was doing.) ***
  494. [5:52:41 AM] Oracle: Okay, 3 successes.
  495. [5:52:44 AM] Frontier Siege: ATTACK HELICOPTERS sent to FLY ATTACK RUNS and TRANSPORT SOLDIERS are often VERY HEAVILY ARMORED along the UNDERSIDE
  496. [5:52:50 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: hmm
  497. [5:52:55 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: might work
  498. [5:53:07 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter BANKS TO THE SIDE and your SHOT goes WIDE
  499. [5:53:28 AM] Frontier Siege: its TWIN ARMOR-PIERCING ANTI-TANK AUTOCANNONS open FIRE on your PICKUP TRUCK
  500. [5:53:30 AM] Oracle: I didn't know Shadowrun had rules for armored sections
  501. [5:53:43 AM] Frontier Siege: the bullets TEAR MASSIVE GOUGES across the ASPHALT BEHIND YOU
  502. [5:53:55 AM] *** Rainer Underwood drives for their lives. Well, everyone else's. He's perfectly safe at this point. ***
  503. [5:54:03 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: [19:53] College Mage Girl: -sr 14 trid phantasm force 5
  504. [19:53] B-Cell: Games: College Mage Girl's roll: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, total of 6 successes.
  505. [5:54:04 AM] Frontier Siege: EVERYONE is currently REGRETTING THEIR LIFE CHOICES
  506. [5:54:20 AM] Frontier Siege: CMG, WHAT do you have your TRID PHANTASM DO
  507. [5:54:32 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Kay's fine with his, he's far away and only getting further away.)
  508. [5:54:52 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Still hates Elisa tho.)
  509. [5:54:54 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: copy of our car split off at an intersection and go the opposite way
  510. [5:56:11 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter FLIES DIRECTLY STRAIGHT, COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR THE PHANTASM
  511. [5:56:11 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Really, his only regret is breaking his own rule of "Never let the autopilot be your getaway driver.")
  512. [5:56:22 AM] *** Oracle puts down the grenade launcher (It'd only tell the fake from the real, anyway) and unlimbers her rifle... ***
  513. [5:56:31 AM] Frontier Siege: it SLOWLY comes to a STOP and turns AROUND as the pilot tries to DECIDE WHAT TO DO
  514. [5:56:35 AM] *** Oracle spends some actions aiming. ***
  515. [5:56:44 AM] *** Emily Faith is loudly hyperventilating, and in an effort to calm herself removes her mask and crouches over one of the living captives. Very soon, he isn't living anymore. ***
  516. [5:56:49 AM] Frontier Siege: the ATTACK HELICOPTER slowly FLIES AFTER THE PHANTASM-CAR
  517. [5:56:52 AM] *** Rainer Underwood jukes a bit, rattling her aim. <No. Bad.> ***
  518. [5:56:56 AM] Frontier Siege: it fires SIX ROCKETS
  519. [5:57:27 AM] Frontier Siege: for THREE SECONDS, this part of the BARRENS glows BRIGHTLY as though it were DAYTIME
  520. [5:57:34 AM] Frontier Siege: the SOUND is DEAFENING
  521. [5:57:48 AM] Frontier Siege: the HELICOPTER banks TOWARDS YOU
  522. [5:57:48 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: "Can we LOSE THESE GUYS NOW?"
  523. [5:57:51 AM] Oracle: (You know, if burning edge didn't do anything, you should have downgraded it to just spending two edge.)
  524. [5:57:52 AM] Frontier Siege: it is SOMEWHAT FAR AWAY
  525. [5:57:54 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT do you DO
  526. [5:57:54 AM] Oracle: (Z_Z)
  527. [5:57:54 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Man, I had big plans for my little chase too...)
  528. [5:58:31 AM] Frontier Siege: (You know, if burning edge didn't do anything, you should have downgraded it to just spending two edge.)Wait, you burned an edge entirely? Oh gosh, nono, you only spent it <3
  529. [5:58:32 AM] *** Emily Faith switches on her chameleoline and exits the truck. <Fuck this noise, I'm goin' on foot.> ***
  530. [5:58:45 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: levitate a powrline into the helicopters rotors
  531. [5:58:46 AM] Frontier Siege: (Notable: The helicopter was definitely injured, but it wasn't down yet)
  532. [5:58:46 AM] Oracle: (okay. Sorry about it.)
  533. [5:59:07 AM] Oracle: (That's why I was a little disappointed when it shrugged off a high explosive grenade.)
  534. [5:59:18 AM] Oracle: (Okay, it's cool.)
  535. [5:59:41 AM] Frontier Siege: (It rolled 7 hits on its structure+armor)
  536. [5:59:52 AM | Edited 6:00:23 AM] Frontier Siege: WHAT do you DO with your MOVING VEHICLE that the HELICOPTER is now LOOKING FOR with its THERMAL SCANNERS
  537. [6:00:56 AM] *** Oracle hops back into the cab. ***
  538. [6:01:17 AM] Oracle: "Aight. Let's just try to get out of this alive..."
  539. [6:01:20 AM] *** Emily Faith has EXITED THE VEHICLE and is RUNNING AWAY. ***
  540. [6:01:21 AM] Rainer Underwood: <I'm almost afraid to ask, but do you have things from here on out?>
  541. [6:01:35 AM] Frontier Siege: there are many ALCOVES, ALLEYS, and OPENINGS in BUILDINGS that you could attempt to HIDE IN, or you could attempt to QUICKLY DRIVE AWAY
  542. [6:01:44 AM] Frontier Siege: the HELICOPTER is still FASTER THAN YOU
  543. [6:01:44 AM] *** Oracle attempts to make a break for it. ***
  544. [6:02:04 AM] Frontier Siege: to be sure, WHAT are you intending to DO?
  545. [6:02:08 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: Would my Levitation idea work?
  546. [6:02:09 AM] Oracle: To the city, where hopefully it doesn't have license to use the airspace.
  547. [6:02:24 AM] Frontier Siege: the BARRENS require, nor respect no LISCENCES or LAWS
  548. [6:02:24 AM] Oracle: Or go under a tunnel.
  549. [6:02:42 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Well, that's why the city should be an obstacle - the city DOES.)
  550. [6:03:08 AM] Oracle: (I don't think that even on the best of days, you can get an attack helicopter in the city.)
  551. [6:03:24 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Also, Kay's been driving the truck to a specific shortcut into the Barrens underground.)
  552. [6:03:26 AM] Frontier Siege: CMG: there are NO POWERLINES in shadowrun, and there DEFINITELY WOULD NOT BE ANY in an area that has NO POWER or INFRASTRUCTURE such as THIS ONE
  553. [6:03:44 AM] Frontier Siege: (I don't think that even on the best of days, you can get an attack helicopter in the city.)you have a LONG WAY TO GO to the CITY
  554. [6:03:52 AM] Rainer Underwood: (The closest thing to powerlines would be GridGuide's powersupply tech.)
  555. [6:04:00 AM] Frontier Siege: ^Which is UNDERGROUND
  556. [6:04:25 AM] Frontier Siege: Eliza, WHAT do you DO
  557. [6:04:28 AM] Rainer Underwood: (Never said it wasn't. Modded my bike to steal power from it though~)
  558. [6:04:47 AM] *** Oracle attempts to buy some time to think by heading for a more... urban, ruin. ***
  559. [6:05:27 AM] Frontier Siege: you will note that THE BARRENS BEING RUN-DOWN and RUINY only serves to HURT you, as it makes navigating more DIFFICULT, while the helicopter can FLY DIRECTLY OVER ALL SUCH OBSTRUCTIONS
  560. [6:05:28 AM] Oracle: <Uh, Lonek? Know any bigger, badder fishes out there that would give Black Hawk Down some company?>
  561. [6:06:18 AM] Rainer Underwood: <You better believe it!>
  562. [6:06:35 AM] Rainer Underwood: <...you might have to do some bodywork on your ride after though.>
  563. [6:06:39 AM] *** Oracle swerves away from suburbia and frantically tries to rack her brain for ideas. ***
  564. [6:07:12 AM] Rainer Underwood: (I'm assuming you've TAKEN CONTROL of YOUR TRUCK back at this point, right?)
  565. [6:07:13 AM] Oracle: <Well, I'm running out of options, here! Sorry. It smells. Even with a pine sol air freshener.>
  566. [6:07:17 AM] *** Oracle nods. ***
  567. [6:07:32 AM] Frontier Siege: RAINER I will SUE you for COPYRIGHT
  568. [6:08:35 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: The GM is objectively SHIT so feel free to massage one OUT while her HELICOPTER kills us ALL.
  569. [6:09:03 AM] Oracle: I feel really street right now.
  570. [6:09:10 AM] *** Rainer Underwood snaps back to his own reality of being driven through tight alleys at highspeeds while dangling from his bike on his gecko-grips. Jesus Christ. <!!! Uh, yeah, I got a marker for ya - those are some of the more heavily armed hangers in the area. Smash through them and the chopper'll probably engage trying to fuck you up, at which point the gangers'll end up shooting back. Just try not to actually eat the crossfire.> ***
  571. [6:09:44 AM] Oracle: <That's the best you can do? Okay. Maybe death is better than certain death,>
  572. [6:09:48 AM] Rainer Underwood: gangers*
  573. [6:10:09 AM] Rainer Underwood: <I'd have gone there myself, but a certain someone completely ruined the original diversion plan.>
  574. [6:10:28 AM] Emily Faith: (test?)
  575. [6:10:28 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Maybe that someone shouldn't whine, yeah?>
  576. [6:10:38 AM] *** Oracle pulls a machine pistol from the glove box and tosses it to the back seat. ***
  577. [6:10:47 AM] Frontier Siege: Eliza, I will need a DRIVE roll to EVASIVELY DRIVE
  578. [6:10:50 AM] Oracle: "Okay, hold on to your hats, people!"
  579. [6:10:54 AM] Oracle: K.
  580. [6:11:08 AM] Frontier Siege: the only PEOPLE in the CAR are four MOOKS and a HALLOWEENER and your WIZARD
  581. [6:11:15 AM] Frontier Siege: ALL of them are in varying levels of HORROR
  582. [6:11:15 AM] *** Emily Faith is not in the back seat, she's quietly sneaking off in the opposite direction. ***
  583. [6:11:27 AM] Emily Faith: (three mooks, I drained one)
  584. [6:11:38 AM] Frontier Siege: ONE of the mooks was KILLED
  585. [6:11:39 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: The corpses especially are freaked out
  586. [6:11:40 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Doc, need a pick-up? Not really doing anything right now...>
  587. [6:11:48 AM] Oracle: They're in body bags.
  588. [6:11:50 AM] Oracle: I think.
  589. [6:11:58 AM] Oracle: B-Cell: Games: Eliza Leifdottir's roll: 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, total of 5 successes.
  590. [6:12:00 AM] Frontier Siege: if they ARE, that is NEWS TO ME, because NOBODY SAID THAT
  591. [6:12:04 AM] Frontier Siege: you DRIVE EVASIVELY
  592. [6:12:07 AM] Emily Faith: <Sure, it'll be nice to get a throbbin' engine between my legs. Come find me.>
  593. [6:12:14 AM] Frontier Siege: the GUNSHIP fires multiple ROCKETS at you
  594. [6:12:22 AM] Frontier Siege: the ROCKETS impact the PAVEMENT BEHIND YOU
  595. [6:12:25 AM] Rainer Underwood: <...I kind of wanna take back the offer now.>
  596. [6:12:39 AM] Emily Faith: <I'll give you a hand shandy>
  597. [6:12:39 AM] *** Rainer Underwood zooms off to grab the Doc. ***
  598. [6:12:51 AM] Frontier Siege: your REAR WINDOW SHATTERS as SHRAPNEL flies through it, then through the WINDSHIELD
  599. [6:12:52 AM] Oracle: "If you'd like, we have red hot rockets coming at us from behind."
  600. [6:12:59 AM] Oracle: "Ah, fuck!"
  601. [6:12:59 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Word of warning, my ride isn't made for more than one person, so it's gonna be awkward.>
  602. [6:13:03 AM] Frontier Siege: Your VEHICLE is not DAMAGED
  603. [6:13:08 AM] Frontier Siege: eliza, ROLL me drive AGAIN
  604. [6:13:20 AM] Oracle: B-Cell: Games: Eliza Leifdottir's roll: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, total of 5 successes.
  605. [6:13:22 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: just keep driving until they run out of gas
  606. [6:13:25 AM] Emily Faith: <Whatevs. I can cling the fuck on like a pro.>
  607. [6:13:39 AM] *** Oracle is driving. ***
  608. [6:14:19 AM] Oracle: (I really should have bought the single shot rocket launcher.)
  609. [6:14:40 AM] Frontier Siege: the gunships AUTOCANNONS narrowly MISS you. The WIND from your shattered WINDSHIELD is blasting against your FACE. You are now AWARE that your right arm is BLEEDING from a MINOR CUT from prior SHRAPNEL. It you were leaning INCHES TO THE RIGHT you may be DEAD right now.
  610. [6:14:47 AM] Frontier Siege: ROLL me drive one FINAL TIME
  611. [6:15:33 AM] Oracle: I'm going to go down to 1/5 and reroll 10 dice.
  612. [6:15:57 AM] Oracle: B-Cell: Games: Eliza Leifdottir's roll: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, total of 2 successes.
  613. [6:15:59 AM] Frontier Siege: did you fail that?
  614. [6:16:02 AM] Oracle: Games: Eliza Leifdottir's roll: 1, 1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, total of 6 successes.
  615. [6:16:08 AM] Oracle: 8 successes total.
  616. [6:16:44 AM] Frontier Siege: you are able to SUCCESSFULLY DRIVE to, and through, the area that loneK MARKED for you. You are VERY CONFUSED by what you see, but it seems to be some sort of GANGER HIDEOUTS.
  617. [6:17:07 AM] Oracle: "Any port in a storm..."
  618. [6:17:09 AM] Frontier Siege: MULTIPLE HEAVY WEAPONS light up the air, as if EAGER to bring down a DRAGON.
  619. [6:17:34 AM] Frontier Siege: the helicopter begins to SMOKE as what appears to be a HEAVY MACHINE GUN rakes FIRE across the vehicle's TAIL
  620. [6:17:56 AM] Frontier Siege: it TURNS ABOUT and UNLOADS WHAT APPEARS TO BE ITS REMAINING ROCKETS into the COMPOUND
  621. [6:18:09 AM] Frontier Siege: There is still SCATTERED LIGHT and HEAVY FIRE upon the HELICOPTER
  622. [6:18:22 AM] Frontier Siege: it APPEARS to be ENGAGED IN BATTLE with THOSE INSIDE THE COMPOUND
  623. [6:18:27 AM] Frontier Siege: it has not FORGOTTEN about you
  624. [6:18:35 AM] Frontier Siege: but NOW is your time to SLIP AWAY to RELATIVE SAFETY
  625. [6:19:04 AM] *** Rainer Underwood marks a few more hideouts relatively close by, just in case. ***
  626. [6:19:24 AM] *** Oracle guns it. ***
  627. [6:20:05 AM] Frontier Siege: funfact: If you failed any of those rolls, I would have rocks-falled your vehicle and crushed both of Eliza's legs. If you botched, she would lose all of her limbs and CMG would be knocked unconscious, and soldiers would immediately begin to dismount from the helicopter via rapple-ropes. If you crit-botched, I would have rocks-falled Eliza, completely.
  628. [6:20:10 AM] Frontier Siege: WHERE do you DRIVE to?
  629. [6:20:33 AM] Oracle: Back to the city! Back to the city!
  630. [6:20:47 AM] Oracle: Well, I'm going to be very low on Edge for a while.
  631. [6:20:49 AM] Frontier Siege: any roll below 3 says your vehicle is destroyed and immediately crashes, which comes with the horrible rider damage of crashing
  632. [6:20:54 AM] Frontier Siege: good job
  633. [6:20:57 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: I feel like such a street-level mook.
  634. [6:21:05 AM] Frontier Siege: shush, miss ball lightning
  635. [6:21:10 AM] Emily Faith: totes~
  636. [6:21:25 AM] Frontier Siege: DOC is picked up by LoneK
  637. [6:21:30 AM] Frontier Siege: LoneK drives to safety
  638. [6:21:33 AM] Rainer Underwood: <Raé, I don't even know how to feel right now. On the one hand, I could've done it better; on the other, I still got what I wanted AND they have no idea I had anything to do with it!>
  639. [6:21:37 AM] Frontier Siege: ELIZA drives to safety with CMG
  640. [6:21:46 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: shush, miss I won't make you guys have to deal with TM problems oh btw a HTR helicopter is tracking you because of technology
  641. [6:21:52 AM] Oracle: <I feel like shit,>
  642. [6:22:09 AM] Oracle: <I wanna go home and cry.>
  643. [6:22:19 AM] Frontier Siege: the PARTY collectively agrees to LAY LOW for a while, JUST TO BE SAFE
  644. [6:22:21 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: <I think that's entirely justified after...all of..THAT.>
  645. [6:22:27 AM] Frontier Siege: the NEXT SESSION will pick up, TWO WEEKS LATER
  646. [6:22:31 AM] Frontier Siege: I am going to BED
  647. [6:22:32 AM] Oracle: <I gotta deal with my broken window... somehow.>
  648. [6:22:35 AM] Emily Faith: <Oh get it together, you'll be fine.>
  649. [6:22:38 AM] Frontier Siege: THANK YOU for DOING THIS with me
  650. [6:22:44 AM] Frontier Siege: I am SORRY for dragging you INTO this
  651. [6:22:47 AM] Oracle: <Dunno how I'm going to pay for all my ammo...>
  652. [6:22:52 AM] Frontier Siege: TALK among yourselfs as you WISH
  653. [6:22:55 AM] Oracle: <Shit! My kid!>
  654. [6:22:57 AM] Frontier Siege: good NIGHT <3
  655. [6:22:57 AM] Emily Faith: Are we going to keep TALKING like TOTAL SPAZZES
  656. [6:23:01 AM] Frontier Siege: yES
  657. [6:23:01 AM] Emily Faith: ninight!
  658. [6:23:03 AM] *** Emily Faith missu ***
  659. [6:23:06 AM] Emily Faith: *kissu
  660. [6:23:08 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: ni ni este!
  661. [6:23:11 AM] Oracle: <I'm late to pick him up from daycare!>
  662. [6:23:18 AM] Oracle: <Son of a bitch! We're making a detour!>
  663. [6:23:30 AM] *** Oracle shakes the corpses in the back as she hits the breaks. ***
  664. [6:23:32 AM | Edited 6:23:31 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: <O-Oh! Okay...>
  665. [6:23:37 AM] Emily Faith: (seriously, though, can we pick up a new player to be a hacker, since our hackers quit...)
  666. [6:24:01 AM] DerpHerpMapleSerp: A decker or TM would have noticed the RFID tags, and usually they're the ones to bring Tag Erasers and the like.
  667. [6:24:12 AM] Emily Faith: (yeeep)
  668. [6:24:18 AM] *** DerpHerpMapleSerp 's job on Blank was to make the party untraceable electronically. ***
