Looking more intently at the doors you realise you were right, there is something odd about the public affairs liaison office.
A beam of light is visible through the gap under the doorway.

Seeing the light from under door Knives positions himself next to the door on the handle side.  Once set he'll message the team, <Look sharp gents we may have a live one.  I'm going in, maybe this could be our way in.  Mantis be ready to back me up just in case.>

Knives switches on his smart jammer letting it disrupt all signals except those belonging to the team.  He then turns the handle slowly and carefully hoping the person on the other side is not paying it any mind.  Pulling the door open just enough,  Knives slips in the office taser at the ready.


Infiltration 3 + Agility 6 = 9d6
9d6.hits(5)=4
If needed.
Smart Area Jammer is rating 3.

A smart, well lit office awaits you on the other side of the door. A tired and disheveled man in a crumpled suit on the far side of a holo-terminal looks up at the apparently empty door space.
Hello? Hello???

Knives quietly crosses the office to get a look at the suit's terminal.  *If this bloke is already logged on this could be cake.  I'll just put him down and go to town.* 
He stays out of the guys route to the door in case he decides to get up and keeps the taser locked on to him.

as you look at the holoterminal's display you can see he's writing up a case report due to the backwards wording casting an orangey glow on the wall behind him.
As you enter the room, the suited man reaches into his jacket and grabs an identical panic pendant to the guard you shocked earlier and stands up;
Hello? Is anyone there? John, is that you?

*Fuck can't rely on the jammer to kill that panic button.  If he doesn't sit back down I'll have to get it away from him.*  Knives remains perfectly motionless as the man stands, hoping he will just sit back down.  He keeps his eyes trained on the hand holding the pendant, preparing to impale it with his knife if the need arises.

John, stop dicking about!
The suited man keeps walking towards the door, intent on finding the security guard he thinks is trying to spook him.
he is only a few steps away from crashing into you..

*If you insist.*  A smile creeps across his face as Knives strikes out at the pendant hoping to dislodge it from the man's grasp.


Knives 8 + Agility 6 + Imp. Ability 1 + Personalized Grip 1 - Called Shot (Disarm) 4 = 12d6
12d6.hits(5)=2
That's miserable, luckily I'm invisible.  Base damage is 4P.

On his next pass, if the disarm was successful, Knives will blast him with the taser.

Mantis fallows Knives to the workers office area. As Knives enters the room Mantis stands back doing his best to keep a visual on the late night worker, making sure if a fight starts he can throw mana down on the guy. Mantis waits to hear if Knives goes combative on this guy. Not knowing that Knives has started the attack Mantis waits until he hears the taser then will let loose a stun bolt to add mana to the shock this guy is going to get.

The man screams in surprise as your blade smacks into the pendant knocking it clear but gouging a chunk out of his hand as your strike follows through.
The pendant sails through the air, causing the holo terminal to flicker in protest as it disturbs its rendered screen. In tortured slow motion, you hear the metallic clunk of its impact, the panic button depressing as it hits the back of the chair.
A flashing red LED is the last you see of the pendant, the screams of the suited man and the burst of blood on the floor, desk and your blade sharply bringing you back to reality.
The shit had just hit the fan.

*Just my bloody luck!*  As the pendant hits the floor Knives lets loose two darts from the taser.

As watches the scene unfold he quickly gathers mana to drop the late night worker.


Stun Bolt F5

Spell Casting (Combat)  5 (7) + Magic 3 - Sustained Spells 3 = 7
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4221013/ 1hit

Drain (F/2)-1 = 1Stun
Logic (Psyche) 7 (8) + Will 5 + Daredrenaline 1 = 14
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4221014/ 5 hits No Drain



With the spell in the air Mantis starts to run through his mind how the hell the team is going to deal with the alarms ringing off the hook. Best get this intel and get to the boat quickly. Or we three will be turned into a red mist painting on the wall.

The two taser bolts impact into his business suit, causing his whole torso to spasm and contort. Once again, the mana bolt was the final insult. his limp, unconscious body impacted against the far wall, slid down it and lay in a crumpled heap, a steady flow of blood oozing from the deep gash Knives cut into his hand.
The emergency pendant alarm rolls into view, its red LED pulsing with life. You all knew you only had minutes before security were on you. you had to move, and fast.

alright guys, shit has hit the fan. time is really important now, so i'm gonna need you to state your actions as if we were in combat; i need to track initiative passes etc so please state simple actions/complex actions etc until i say to stop!
ps, good luck!!!
