--Matt and Leroy--
Both of you were sure that even in a building of such proportions, exits like this didn’t exist in abundance. There must have been other underground connections to the outside, but you suspected those were much tighter than this one. Electricity didn’t need as much space to get through as water and sewage.

--Matt--
From your surveys, you suspected you were almost at the northernmost part of the building. The placement of this engineering center suggested two possibilities. Either the public utilities were concentrated in this area, making it easier to access from here, or there was another center near the southernmost part of the building. And the latter was more probable. But a thought hit you almost immediately. If they posted a guard here, to this underground passage, wouldn’t they do the same at the other side?
Your theory about the two engineering centers was quickly confirmed by what you found in the commlink. And there was a similar access hatch there. But these were the only two that led out of the building below ground level. As you saved as much information to your own comm, the screen of the other device started to flicker again, and within half a minute, it sparked for the last time, and with a puff of acrid-smelling smoke, it went dark.

He resisted the urge to immediately open the door. "Matt? Miko?" He called. "Do your maps state what's on the other end of this door? I can hear a bit of underpowered heavy machinery, but that's about it." He was hoping this might at least lead to another way out. Failing that, that the others in the room had gotten another way out. He could use a commlink, but wasn't really an expert with technology. He really didn't want to even try an Astral Projection in this mess.

[Csjarrat]

As the commlink fizzles and dies, Matt tosses it on the ground with a sigh.
He takes a good look at the in-tact door, and then at the maps he's downloaded.
I hate to break it to you guys, but we don't really have any other option for busting out of here. There's another engineering zone on the south side, but we'd have to risk our luck with the gangers again and any other police or beasties wandering the corridors. I can't help feeling we got lucky with this door, with those hydraulics active we wouldn't have got through that. There's no guarantee I'll even be able to open the door on the other side of the complex and the police maybe already inside the building by now.
Joel, I don't think that door goes anywhere important. Its shit or bust I'm afraid. We gotta go through that door, except this time we won't have the element of surprise {sly look at miko}
You're a magician though? Can you make us invisible or make a distraction if the SWAT guy is still around? Or maybe put him to sleep with a spell?
If we can't go over, around or under this guy, then we'll have to go through him. I dunno about you guys, but I'm more than happy to tase one bent copper to stay out of the electric chair.
Matt readies his taser and flicks the laser sight on again for added effect.

It's four against one guys, we can do this.

"So I'm not used to this," Jade said with a dirty look towards Matt, "so sue me.  But going through him might be an option.  Only I don't have a taser, although my fist can be considered one."

[MaxKojote]

"Sadly I specialise in finding magic, combat spells and summoning. So while I can't  put him to sleep, I can try to knock him out." Joel answered as he rejoined the group. "I find myself with a lack of reluctance for going right through him. Frankly, I just want to get out of here, preferably sooner rather than later."

No need to add that my magic is being disrupted by whatever happened here.

[Gustovness]

"Jus' don't kill the mothafucka.  Not being soft, but bent or not, a dead cop would complicate shit for us."

[Csjarrat]

Yeah, definitely don't want that on our hands. Right, I'll crack on with the door. You guys get ready. Leroy, you wanna take my taser? I'm gonna be preoccupied opening this bloody thing again. If the guy isn't there again, I'll pilot the drone through the hatch and scout it out before we move.
Sound good?

[farothel]

"If we're not going to kill him," Jade said, "I'm ready.  I just need my hands and the assurance that nobody will taser me while I'm beating the shit out of him."

[Csjarrat]

No-one here wants to kill anyone Miko, {looking at the door} shall we?

[Ren]

When Leroy opened the door, you saw the guard still didn’t leave his post. All of you could see him now clearly. He faced the door but luckily for you, he didn’t have his assault rifle at the ready. He started speaking in a complaining voice. ”Muchaco, don’t frag with me. If you… He got to this point, then he noticed the troll rushing him and even though he reacted immediately, he was already too late to raise the rifle to defend against the first hits.

The hatch was basically a wide, short corridor that ended in another door a few meters away. The guard stood on the left side, but as Miko rushed him, space tended to narrow down. A suitably agile person could use the commotion to get past the melee, but he risked being tread on.
[spoiler=Leroy]You can get by the guard in the first IP with ease if you want to, as you are faster than the troll. That is of course if you run, otherwise you don't have enough movement rate for that.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=situation]The corridor is about 3 meters wide, and it is 6 meters long. The door on the other side is closed,  seems to be the same kind as the one you just opened. The guard is about 3-4 meters from the door, so it is short range for all firearms, but it is enough space to charge him if Miko wants to. Lighting is the same as inside (partial light).
Astral background count is still 1 (-1 effective Magic).[/spoiler]

[Csjarrat]

As the door swung open, Matt's flashlight illuminated his target. Clearly the guard hadn't cottoned on that this was not his group of "pet" gangers.
Gotta take him down before that rifle comes up..
Matt grabs hold of the taser as quickly as he could, splashing the laser sight onto the dazzled guard as the team sprung into action.

Simple: ready weapon
Free:Activate laser sight
Simple: fire weapon
pistols pool 9, -1wound (8d6.hits(5)=3) 3hits, no glitch
 

[Ren]

[spoiler=damage resistance]Damage: 5S(e) + 3 hits = 8S(e)
Resistance: BOD(4) + half impact(5) + non-conductivity(4) (13d6.hits(5)=4), damage taken: 4S
Against stun effect, TH3: BOD(4) + WIL(3) + half impact(5) + non-conductivity(4) (16d6.hits(5)=7)[/spoiler]
The hit had little effect on the guard, even if it must’ve hurt somewhat. Being tased was never a good experience and his muscles must have hurt when they seized.

[farothel]

After the taser was shot, Jade jumpen through the door using a move her old sensei had taught her quite some time ago.  This to make sure she wasn't in the way of others.  While passing the guard she gave him a karate hit right out of a movie.


I move so that I don't block the door and kick the guard
Agility 5 + unarmed 3 =8 (8d6.hits(5)=3)

Damage: S/2= 3 + net hits +1 (karate)

PS: I don't have my books heer on holiday, so quick question: what do finishing move and watchful guard do?  I have both.

[Gustovness]

Leroy stayed put outside of entryway.  He did not expose himself.  As much as he wanted to roll over the shock trooper outside, he wasn't armed, and two others were.  It'd be stupid to run out there.  Better let the people with guns do the heavy lifting.

I won't bother rolling for full defense since Leroy hasn't even shown himself to the police officer and he's way out of reach of him.

[MaxKojote]

IF GUARD STILL CONSCIOUS

Joel narrowed his eyes in focus, reaching towards the nearest leyline of magic to channel into a forceful attack directly into the cop's aura.

Stunbolt Force 4 (Opposed with Willpower+Counterpelling) - Magic (5) + Spellcasting (4) + Combat Spec (2) + Wolf Mentor (2) - Wounds (1) - Domain (1) (11d6.hits(5)=2)

ELSE

As soon as the guard dropped, Joel quickly moved through the door, wanting to get a move on as soon as possible.
