Seeing that these guards are much better protected than the poor bugger working the desk that almost sadistic smile found it's way to Knives' mug once again.  *All right at least I don't have to feel bad now.  Anyone wearing that much gear knows what he's signed up for.  You may get a work out tonight yet mates!*

[Lumen]

Knives pivots around the corner of the door frame, leveling the taser as he swings.  He send two darts into the nearest guard as the almost sadistic grin finds it's way to Knives' mug once again.  As soon as the two darts are in the air the signal goes out to engage the Flash-Pak.

*Not quite time for the bang.  Let 'em get a touch closer...  but not too close or me mates will have to make a show.*

[Csjarrat]

The first shot glances off the armour of the first security responder as he barrels through the double doors into the corridor, its discharge casting a blue glow as it discharges into the air.

Your second round impacts squarely into his chestplate, arcing 50,000 Volts into it.

You hear an audible groan as the taser bolt forces his muscles to contract.

A split second after the rounds impact, your flash pack triggers, casting the corridor in a staccato stop-frame animation. during the brief pulses of light, you see the still advancing security responder's visors darken in response.

Both guards barrel through the door under their momentum, the first one swinging his stun baton wildly whilst raising his taser arm to shield himself from the glare.
make a dodge +rea test at -1(distracting lighting) pleasedunno how blind fire with melee works, this will do!
The guard at the back hangs back, pressing something on his comms piece and barking an order into it
"we've been ambushed, magic users, declare order 6, repeat, order 6!!!!

The glowing taser baton sails harmlessly by as you gently duck.
You find yourself trapped between the two guards, the stunned and blinded one advancing down the corridor towards Mantis' position and the source of the alarm, the other retreating towards the lifts.

[Lumen]

Knives easily sidesteps the wild flailing but now the guard had gotten too far.  *That's it arsehole!  Come on out mate it's time to play.*  His left hand falls from the taser and instinctively finds the hilt of his fineblade, drawing it out by his side.  He creeps up close behind the guard and lets loose another dart from the taser.

___________Lumen____________
Your taser dart impacts squarely into the back of the guard's leg, crackling audibly as it discharges yet another 50,000 volts into the hapless victim.
His muscles contract, convulse and give way in protest at the voltage coursing through his nerves.
He doubles over, desperately trying to grab at the dart and hits the deck, clearly in no mood to carry on the fight.

4d6.hits(5)=0 6Sbase+3net hits for 9Se to resist.

_______Scawire_________
The download crawls and crawls, microseconds feel like years as the deafening alarm assaults your ears. You know it's only minutes to go until your exfil deadline and the security alert meant you weren't going out the front doors without a fight.
You hear a fracas in the corridor outside; as you look up from the terminal, a heavily armoured guard hits the deck, convulsing and screaming right in the doorway to the office.

Knives breathes a sigh of relief as the charging guard finally starts to fall to the floor.  Having just gotten the signal that Mantis is done the guard calling in orders is much more of a threat than the half unconscious and electrocuted one.  *I don't know what Order 6 means but those sure would make some shitty last words.*  Hoping to continue to delay actual bloodshed as long as possible Knives takes a few steps back towards the lift, firing two darts at the cautious guard.

A blinking red AR notification alerts Knives that the clip is down to a single dart.  Another small display shows there are only two left in the other clip.  *Shit if we don't get out of here fast this is going to get a lot messier.*

The second security guard had retreated far enough that your taser darts thwack into the swipe-card wooden fire doors as they swing shut behind him. You see him break into a run towards the lift, interacting with a gesture that you assume is an ARO and yammering into his commlink. Through the haze of combat and the din of the clanging alarm you make out the words; "Order 6" again.

[Scawire]

When it is Mantis's turn he will do the fallowing.

Also at least Mantis know the saying of better living through pharmaceuticals or that would be a -6 that would be BAD


Once he gets the final confirmation of the download Mantis makes his way to re-group with the other two. Sub-vocalI'm done and heading to the hall. How are we exiting?

[Lumen]

*Bollocks!  Shots missed are shots wasted.*  Knives walks back towards the fallen guard and fires the last dart into his back.

[Csjarrat]

___Lumen____
Your last, cruel, shot to the back put the guard out for good. His spasming and contorting was replaced will complete stillness. He wasn't going anywhere now.
The small pulsing ARO changed to a large red angry flash, indicating your taser was out of ammo as you rendezvous with the other two in the corridor.

___Both____
The second security guard disappears into the lift as you turn your back on the corridor and head towards the far side of the cubicle farm.
Aside from the deafening alarm tone, the tone of the area has altered. Gone are the cleaning drones with the soft sound of vacuuming.
The narrow pine-smelling corridor opens up into a much much larger space. Central to this is an area roughly 30ftx20ft neatly divided up into individual cubicles, each with a basic holoterminal and a jack-in point.
AR displays of productivity data can be seen on the far walls of this area, with varying offices for low-level management, a staff room, rest rooms and storage areas surrounding the cubicle farm.
The fire escape signs can be seen at the far side of the cubicle farm, the green ARO and emergency light pointing to a door in the far left corner of the large space.
