Onward then. Bounty head. Move guys, move.

Drone first of course, Code use the fact he is already closest to the treasure and goes for the neareast 'executive looking' doors.


Sorry for a small delay ;)

Devoted didn't have it easy. The magic in this place seemed to be constantly fighting against his attempts to help his friends.
Hostile.
In every way.

He finally managed to finish his spell, a cloak which would bend the light around Code, preventing anything from seeing him. He didn't know the spell had failed and didn't really do much. He struggled with the mana to sustain it.
"You should be safe to walk around. I don't think further security devices will be able to see you."

Digger shifts Gardner into a more comfortable position and wonders to himself how the frag they were gonna get this monster down if he doesn't wake up.  Then he finds a good angle to quietly cover the guys searching the hallway.

With Digger eying the way out and Machete trying to figure out how to treat a guy with first aid when he has bark for skin, Code wandered out into the hallways.  This was a technological goldmine.  In the outside world, this tech would be well outdated, but in the Zone, this was probably the most technologically advanced public building in the whole of Chicago.  At least, when you counted what was still in tact.  Code was positively beaming as he went toward the doorknob, but as he reached out to grab the knob, he felt the hair raise up on the back of his hand, and paused.  He turned to say something to the others about the knobs being electrified, when loud blast went off and the door above his head and to the right was perforated by a shotgun blast coming from inside the room.

Flat. Code dropped to the ground rolled to the side. Flipped into full vr and jumped into the drone.

Once in, he jumped high through the perforated doors.

Things happened quickly. Only a couple of seconds ago had Devoted requested from his Valkyrie guardian spirit to protect and assist him and his friends should they be in danger and now the door seemed to explode.
He saw Code dropping to the ground and hoped this was because of a protective reflex, not because he'd been stunned or killed by the blast. Without thinking, he ran towards him.

A robotic voice came out from the hole in the door.
"I regret that Mr. Pelletier will not be seeing any visitors today."

Machete dives as well to the floor and trains his shotgun on the door.  "Pinche surprises...I hate surprises.  Should I move in?"

Once in, Code moved Ruckus to the side as well and started to scan for wireless nodes in the executive apartment.

Your're welcome to join the party Machete.

"I could take a look, you know, on the astral plane... If they had magic security installed here when it was still in use, the time and the FAB will have gotten rid of it all, no?"
He switched his vision to see that magical plane that lay on top of the material one.

There was nothing immediately visible on the astral beside the presence of Devoted's team mates and the ever-present angry static of The Zone.

Machete was extremely quiet as he advanced on the door.  Pushing Codemonkey back with his hand, he set about rigging the area infront of the door with what seemed like a whole crate of commercial blasting sticks.  He strapped them all along the inside of the two rail drones recently removed from operation, and placed them about 10 centimeters from the door right about the height of the knob.

Waving everyone back into the stairwell, he set it off.

The explosion rocked the whole building.  The door, the wall, part of the floor and even part of the wall behind, were all blown to rubble.  The waiting room of, apparently, Mr. Pelletier, was gone to shit.  After the dust cleared, an android with a synth-skin covering, perforated in many places, could be seen blown halfway through the wall into the next room. 

From the next room over came the sound of a shotgun.  *Pa-choom* *Pa-choom* and then faintly..
"Oh goodness!  Ms. Phelps!  I almost didn't recognize you!  My, but you look quite the state!"

Devoted looked at the destruction with open mouth and big round eyes. His ears still rang from the explosion but he didn't care. He almost hopped up and down like a child while exclaiming "That... that... that was amazing Machete!!! Did you see that?! Man, I bet you took out that robot and part of the next wall too! Look! Even part of the floor is gone!".

The voice reached his ears. "Another robot? Can't be someone like Holland again, right? Noone's managed to get here in 20 years."

Machete puts his finger to his lip motioning for silence. "Sounds like we got another crazy vato loco on our hands.  Judging from how fucked up the last crazy was i'm not taking any chances.  Any loot worth taking will most likely be behind a safe.  I'm done with Mr. Nice Guy, we're pushing on through.   I'll scope it out."  He grabs a piece of plasticrete debris and with his Remington in the other hand.  He he pushes the muzzle of his shotgun round the corner of what's left of the doorway to try and get a view with his smartlink.
