"Affirmative.Say,Krestov, does this seem like a botched operation to you?Because if I didn't know Wasteland and her crew were shadowrunners I'd say that this mess seems  like a professional hit.Execution."

Done with the biz - collecting commlinks and the rigger control, harvesting a sample of blood - bnc exhales heavily and looks around.
"Jesus fucking Christ. Where have I gotten myself into? This mess, this... this carnage. Sweet Jesus, I need something to calm down. Where's the medkit?

bnc snaps open the lids of her medkit, longing for a dose of Whoom, an Austrian drug which would calm her down a bit. Everyone in the party knows she's addicted to it, although she claims she's in total control. Just when you started wondering how she could still get hold on it in Seattle, you figured out she's actually brewing the stuff herself. But as far as you know, she's not selling it.
She picks out a pack of the silvery patches and hesitates. You're on a run, you drekhead. There's no way you can let anything cloud your wits! She casts a glance at the corpses around her and closes her eyes to refrain from vomitting. The very moment she hears Krestov's voice in her head.

"Not to distract from the latest crime investigation technique, but have we located their transport, if they have one?"

She drops back the patch and closes the medkit. Grow up, girl. It's not the first murder you've seen. Focus on the job!

"We have not. Is it important? I guess, if I log on using Wasteland's comm, I should be able to trace it down. That is, assuming she MARKed it, which I think she would have done. Or else, I might try the rigger control. Question is: Is it important right now or can it wait until we're somewhere safe?

And in real voice, audible only for Krestov, she adds in a whisper. "Ivan, can you hold me for a second?"

The troll hmmed quietly to Torrent's question.  "Even with them as a runners, your view is noted.  I am inclined to agree"  Setting the pack down, he leaned over where Wasteland lay, checking to see if she was responsive at all.  He was not worried about stability; the trauma patch still applied to her combined with bnc's talents dissuaded any doubt of the orkette's safety.

bnc's comment brought him to reality once again, and he gave a little shrug.  "Consider it low-middle priority.  Acquiring it would ease extraction of all assets here once we are ready.."

He paused, hearing the whisper next to him as he slung his riot shield over his back, helmeted face turning towards her.  Silently, he nodded, bringing an arm out and pulling her in, a firm but gentle grip holding her in place.  "...you're handling yourself well.  We're almost through this." He whispered to her, muting his transceiver for the moment, letting her push away when she was ready.  Face hardening, he gave a nod, tapping his neck with his free hand.  "Assets are secure.  Recommend we bring vehicle to the door for extraction.."

She presses herself hard against Krestov, biting her lips. Pull yourself together, girl. If any of the others catches wind of what you're doing her, your career is over and done with.

She inhales deeply, eyes closed, and remains yet another couple of seconds in Krestov's firm grip, before she steps back with a sigh. "Thanks," she whispers almost soundlessly, then resumes an almost steady voice on the communication channel.
"I recommend checking the car's location when we're back and safe. They might have taken it with them. If so, it will lead us directly to their place in half an hour or so.

Fighting down the urge to Whoom herself to peace, she steps out of the boxcar, waiting for Jane's car to show.

"I'll go to get the van." "I probably won't blow out the transmission."

Slobbertooth shuffles out the door, his gun raised as he crossed back through the trainyard towards the van.

bnc shakes her head to get clear again. Apparently she had fallen asleep for just a second, though it felt like a longer time. But now she's wide awake again, and ready for anything fate might throw at her.

Ah ha! There it was. Wasteland's vehicle. Though it could hardly be called as such really considering it's design and what you really knew was hiding underneath the form of that vehicle that looked like a semi truck with a box car on the back. The thing was literally a wheeled, highly modified bulldozer, bullet proof and you wouldn't doubt for a second there would be light tanks that couldn't penetrate this thing. The last time you'd seen it was smashing through a wall during the Azzie heist. Hidden on the other side of the trainyard, parked against some low income housing. Sadly, not taken as loot by whoever the hostiles were.

Slobbertooth, you make it to the team's van without further issue. There are still no sirens. No sign around here that anything is even slightly out of the ordinary. Surely the cops should at least be on their way, right? But, there's nothing. It doesn't explode either when you hit the ignition and rumble the thing to the carpark for your extraction route.

Krestov, bnc, Wasteland seems stablised for now, at least safe enough to move. She's carrying a lot of injuries though, and despite them all, somehow still conscious, or at least fading in and out on account of the hit of drugs flowing through her system. Reliving the incident, this one, or something else. "Front... rear. Hose them..."

Torrent, out of the back of the building, you can see that truck after minutes of staring at it not realising it for the distance and through all the traincars slowly moving about the yard. It's shut up and pulled tight, shut down and cold. Little did the machine know it's owners were almost all dead. Something catches your eye as well, on top of one of the buildings, about two rows back, one of the seven story ones that looks over this place. A whisp of black smoke that floats into the sky.

"I found the truck!Stay sharp,I'm moving nearer.I guess its powered down and locked, since bnc didn't find it."

Perception roll ->Top of the building/smoke: 10d6t5 3

I spend one edge point for my sneaking test just to be sure-Second Chance
Approaching the truck: 17d6t5 4

Second Chance: 13d6t5 6

So I can use 8 hits (Limit)

Please remember because of Traceless Walk anyone trying to hear me passing has -4 dice.

Slobbertooth backed up to the office building, "Alright, the ride is here. Lets exfiltrate, shall we?"

Krestov stood up from his reverie as his earbud came to life with the sounds of his teammates, the big troll standing up straight with a sharp intake of breath.  Slinging his shield over one shoulder and the bag of collected gear on the other, his lips curled into a sharp frown of resolve, preparing his body for bearing the weight he was to carry.  Turning to the fail decker next to him, he gave a nod.  "Pave the way.  We must go"  Were the only words he said as he put his arms under Wasteland at her neck and knees, Giving a grunt as he picked her up gingerly.

"Principle is secure.  Heading to Exfil" Was all the troll said as he departed the warehouse.  If he had time to recover the other three bodies, he would, but if not, so be it.

"Confirmed. Let's get the drek outta here."
bnc slides the blood sample into the medkit, checks the place one last time, suppresses a shudder one last time, steps aside to let Krestov (and Wasteland) pass. She unholsters her gun, unsecures it and follows Krestov.

Wasteland's truck is something to behold. It's almost a piece of Seattle history. That's how Wasteland's crew got started. They'd drive the bloody thing through walls and take a store for everything they owned, tills, safes, everything. Load it into the back of the vehicle and sort it out later. Channel 98 had refered to the crimes as the 'Unstoppable ramraiders' given to that nothing seemed to slow them down, not traffic bollards, not reinforced walls, nothing. Eventually when they found shadowrunning they stopped performing them, and let the crimes become one of the great unsolved misteries of the era. Up close, it's easy to see why they got that name. The truck is like the unholy love child of a snowplow, a bulldozer and a main battle tank. It carries fake corporation tags so Lone Star wouldn't harass them, an armoured car company, you knew it could be changed at a drop of a hat with it's spoof chips and chameleon coating.

Wasteland herself doesn't put up a fight, hefted and carried back to the van. There is silence. Bnc has her blood sample secured within the medical kit. Did the local population simply... miss this giant automatic gunfire?

bnc, Krestov, your departure for the team's van is both effortless and uneventual.

Slobbertooth, somehow, you manage to get the van to the exfiltration point without blowing out it's transmission.

Torrent, you are the sneakest person that ever was, and you are now close enough to touch a piece of Seattle history. You don't see anyone, and no windows look down at this direct position. In fact, as far as you can tell, someone would have to be on the street or on a roof to see you from here, and you see neither of those two.

Slobbertooth asks Torrent over comms, "Anything interesting in Wasteland's ride that you want to grab for safe keeping?"

With a stoicly solid expression on his features, Krestov eased Wasteland into the van, doing his best not to aggravate her injuries and make her comfortable.  He then followed by grabbing the recovered gear, stowing them into the far back, concealing them so as to not look conspicuous.  Nodding to Jane, he stuffed himself into the back with her, motioning for bnc to follow.

"Principal is safe and ready for exfil.  We can recover their truck if needed, but I feel we have no further need to be here.   Let us regroup and form a plan on safe ground, da?"   Heaving a heavy sigh, the troll eased back into the seat, pulling his helmet off, his blonde mane falling into place as he shook off the helmet feeling.  A hard expression on his face, he closed his eyes and tapped at a console at his belt, turning off his simrig.  There was no more need for it.
