Stake, you have that thing opened. Does it have any blind side? What sensors does it depend on? I know that this machines are TOP but they are too small to equip full range of sensors as far as I know. Thermographic? Audio? Radar? Anything else?

[Ren]

"Well, if there's no other way... Let it be an explosion." Stake listened to Zach then started to work on the drone. "A moment, i'm checking."
[spoiler=checking sensors]LOG(7) + Hardware(5) [Mental(11)] (12d6.hits(5)=4)
Note: Stake doesn't know too much about how drones work (no mechanic skill) but i reckon the sensors are more likely related to Hardware skill.[/spoiler]

@Stake:

You're not able to tell exactly what each sensor you see in he suite does, but you do find the exact location of the core connector bus between the main microprocessor and the sensor array.  A good hit to this bus would sever he connection and most definitely completely blind the drone.  If you AR mark the location for the ork and the elf, they might be able aim for it if they're a good enough shot.

OOC: If you AR mark it,  then with a successful called shot (extra free and -4)  they could hit that spot. 

[Ren]

”The sensors are a jumble, but I can pinpoint where they connect to the main processors. Shooting there will blind the drones, besides any adverse effects the bullets might have.” Stake quickly made a 3D image out of the downed drone and highlighted where the connection was in there. He sent the image to the other two.

[Sichr]

Might be helpfull. Ok so shall we start? Zach gets ready to leave his defensive possition and move to the point from where he can leave the building and outflank the main attack vector.

[Ren]

Stake took a deep breath. "Let me just take that chip out. After that, i wait for your signal to hit the drones from cyberspace. Just a question: do you want me to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, or can i go back to VR? That way i'm more effective." After hearing the answer, he popped the chip out of its socket and pocketed it.

[Sichr]

As I see the situation, we are going to kill them all and then move as quickly and as far possible. So be ready to get back to physical if things look bad for us and you need to move on your own, until then you should be covered. Am I right, Storm?

[Thermo]

>>Correct. We hit them hard and run like hell. I'm going to get as many as I can with a lightning attack, you flank them and hit them with an EMP. Hopefully our new decker can clean up the stragglers. Once I hit them with the lightning, you need to hit them again immediately and then race as fast as you can to draw them with you. I'll fly out on my own once you're gone. I'm taking down your veils, there's no point since it'll be impossible to hide your bike against thermal. The storm spirit will help hide you until you're past line-of-sight.<<

Storm cancels the veils on Zach and Stake, as well as the illusion she previously set. She keeps her own veil as well as the sonic bubble.

The pressure she was feeling due to all the sustaining starts to recede a bit as she unwinds the spells.

Storm readies herself in order to cast her lightning ball as quickly as possible once the roof is blown open. Her position is perfect accordingly to her AR overlay of the drones positions. She switches her vision to thermographic and readies her image magnification. Her now-antique Spellslinger glove crackles slightly as she readies herself for combat.

Gonna fry some circuits tonight...

[Ren]

After  pulling the chip out of the drone, Stake sat down and slipped back to hot sim VR. ”Zach, give the word and I’ll unleash virtual hell on them.” He then readied himself to hit the drones immediately when Zach gave the word.

[Sichr]

Moving to possition.

Zach leaves his deffensive position, with only slight relief...this is how it always begins. And ends, also.
trying to stay as calm as possible he moves to the opaque windows lining the wall. They say that cat can sneak through any hole, and he feels her presence strobgly right now deep within him. Direct assault may be effective, well at least a bit surprise may be fun, adding some spice into the game.
He dont have time to pull his chameleon suit out and change clotches, well at least that means he will have slightly better protection from bullets.He expects that the explossion would also smash the windows out and he plans to use it to get into flanking possition as planned.
 He prepares for it and focuses on the drone for a second, since it need to deliver its last spark of life. Built in autodestruction system should be powerfull enought to get the job done...

@Everyone:
OOC: Roof rolls Structure + Armor: 10d6.hits(5)=5.  So that's 35 DV.   That's about 8 sqr meters, so a 3m x 3m hole we'll say.  I'll say that it constitutes good cover for parties on either side.

You brace yourselves covering your ears and squinting as the explosion rips the roof apart as if it were made of paper mache, the pressure wave blowing out the glass side windows as well.  The florescent lights got taken out (dim light)  and a gaping 3m x 3m hole in the tin roof exposing the clear night sky is what's left.  You catch a quick glimpse of the drones as they start to scramble out of formation.   

OOC: Initiative for drones = 6 + 4d6=11= 17.
Initiative: Thermo 33, Stake 26, Zach 23, Drones 17 
 
Thermo's turn.

[Thermo]

Why does it feel like we just whacked a hornet's nest?

Storm casts her lightning ball at the center of the group of drones. Her thermographic vision gives her a high-definition picture of the whirring drones, letting her see them even in the dim light overhead.

Cast F8 Ball Lightning: Spellcasting(10)+Mentor Spirit(2)+Power Focus(4)+Spellslinger(1)-Sustaining(5)-Partial Light(1) [Force](8) (11d6.hits(5)=4)

Edge re-roll (7 dice) (7d6.hits(5)=2) 6 hits total

Drain(7) Resist: Cha(11)+Wil(9) (20d6.hits(5)=8) NO DRAIN!! BOOYAH!!!!

[inca1980]

OOC:  Pilot 3 + Maneuver 4 + Good Cover 4 = (11d6.hits(5)=6, 11d6.hits(5)=3, 11d6.hits(5)=3, 11d6.hits(5)=0, 11d6.hits(5)=4, 11d6.hits(5)=6, 11d6.hits(5)=2, 11d6.hits(5)=4, 11d6.hits(5)=6, 11d6.hits(5)=4).  The respective damages they need to soak are: 8,11,11,14,10,8,12,10,8,12.  Soak is Body 4 + Armor 4 + AP-8 = (4d6.hits(5)=2, 4d6.hits(5)=3, 4d6.hits(5)=0, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=1, 4d6.hits(5)=2).   Respective damage is (P for physical, M for matix):  6P/3M, 8P/4M, 11P/5M, 13P/6M, 9P/4M, 7P/3M, 11P/5M, 9P/4M, 7P/3M, 10P/5M.  So 4 of them got fried and the ones that are left we'll call: 
Drone1 {6P/3M}, Drone2 {8P/4M}, Drone5 {9P/4M}, Drone6 {7P/3M}, Drone8 {9P/4M}, Drone9 {7P/3M}
Stakes turn


You see Storm focus hard as current collects around her body to the point where the whole room is lit up.  Suddenly she pumps her hands forward and launches an envelope of electric energy that shoots straight through the hole in the tin roof.  Before the drone have time to move very far out of formation the ball explodes right in the middle of the circle and scatters them every which way.  Sparks shoot out of each of the drones and you can see several of them go down; the AR count Stake has set up reads 6/10 left.

 Initiative: Thermo 33, Stake 26, Zach 23, D1 15, D2 16,
