Yes, you have your wireless bonus (actually, since bnc used her wrapper program, you've had it for your complete stay here)

Now question to SgtBoomCloud:

Did I miss it, or did you not actually give the Ares Alpha's to your teammates?

Also a free hint:

If you have three FA weapons, it's very useful to have one person lay down suppressive fire while the others fire vital shots and/or targeted bursts.
Also, if anyone has the Knowledge Skill Small Units Tactics, this would be the ideal time to use one of the defensive maneuvers.

Lastly: A mage needs direct, optical line of sight to target their spells.   
 
Once this door is open, you'll face an extremely pissed of mage in a very durable armor.

Jack.  You are correct, but please give me a bloody chance to post something up after my busy weekend to rectify that, as I was planning on working that out anyway . Krestov will have one, and I assume Slobbertooth will want one.  That leaves the third open for snagging.  Who wants?

[Jack_Spade]

That's what I do. 
RL comes first, no question, but your last post was 5 days ago.
So please forgive me for checking on you before I remote control your character.

If no-one else wants it, Schmitt can take it.
He has a dice pool of 8 w/o smartlink support.
His Ini is 10+2d6

Hank is more a pistols/unarmed combat guy, but could in a pinch lay down supressive fire (But he is still back at the Valkyrie Pods with the hurt spider.

Round 1 Initiative tracker:

bnc: 27 (Delayed)
Slobbertooth: 26
Torrent: 23
Krestov: 12
Schmidt: 15
Enemy Mage: 19 17

[SquirrelDude]

Are you delaying bnc's action again, Volker?

[Volker]

sorry for being absent

No, she doesn't. She goes for the other limbs ;-)

Concerning the flashbang. I'm not sure whether I got some rules wrong again, but the reason I suggested it in the first place is the "Blasts in a confined space" rule. On the assumption that the staircase is no more than 2 meters wide that would be:
10S
+2x8S (rebound after 2x1 m on both sides of the staircase)
+2x6S (-||-)
+2x4S (-||-)
+2x2S (-||-)
 = 50 S.
Depending on how high the ceiling is, it might be even more.

Even with 10 autohits or so, she should be puree by now.

If you for any reason decide that this rule doesn't apply, I'll go for the sensors at the shoulder:

Called Shot: 8d6t5 3

[Jack_Spade]

Yeah, no.
Flash bangs have a fixed range which would lead to absolutely ridiculous dangerous  results.
By that logic, Krestov would have been blown to pieces when he dived on the grenade.

Since she can't dodge now, you hit and do 12 damage. Her arms stop working. She is totally immobile now.

[SgtBoomCloud]

Yeah, no.
Flash bangs have a fixed range which would lead to absolutely ridiculous dangerous  results.
By that logic, Krestov would have been blown to pieces when he dived on the grenade.

...and I for one, am grateful that wasn't the case!

[Volker]

Yeah, me too ;-)
I thought this is exactly what the Junky Salsa effect means, but it's absolutely fine by me.
If I understood correctly, she herself doesn't have received any damage, "only" the armor. Right?

[Jack_Spade]

Yes, the actuators are separate systems (but they also don't receive the protection of the hardened armor)

So, Ding Dong the witch is dead, the path is clear and your ship is ready

[Volker]

Guys, do you think there is any possibility we can continue this group? I really like the atmosphere, interaction and also the players behind your characters.

[SgtBoomCloud]

Flattering   I, for one, am not against the notion.  I'll leave it up to you guys

[Jack_Spade]

Sure, although I'll need a bit time to prepare the next run 

[Sabato Kuroi]

I'm also  in for another ride

[SquirrelDude]

Sure, why not.

And don't worry about taking some time Jack. We all need to count ammunition, spend karma, and make shopping lists if we were to continue.
