Isaint's shot had gone wide, but at least his opponent hadn't hit him either.
They had gone to ground, but didn't surrender. 'Well, they had their chance.'
He let go of the rifle, so it hung from the sling and once again prayed for guidance. This time he felt a change even if it was just a little bit. 'Seems like someone up there is not thrilled with my performance.'
With his free hand he grasped into his pocket and retrieved a flash bang grenade. 'Thank god this job pays well. I hate to throw a 100 bucks at my enemies.'
<<Fire in the hole, flash bang>>

With a twist he activated the impact detonator and threw the grenade towards his second enemies supposed position. But even as the grenade left his hand he knew, that the throw would go wide. On the plus side he didn't hit himself or Daddy who had appeared uncomfortably close to the unintended impact zone.
<<Ups, sorry Daddy>>

In case they're needed:
Defense: [12d6t5=3, 1, 1, 5, 4, 4, 5, 6, 2, 6, 4, 3] 4 no penalties factored in
Damage Resist: [25d6t5=5, 2, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 6, 3, 3, 5, 2, 4, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 1, 1, 6, 5, 1] 7 no AP factored in


Aaron sees the incoming fire at the last second. Luckily he was already flat against the wall, but unluckily that made dodging a little more complicated too. He responded to the fire from the buzzing drone with a single arrow. "Don't take too long." he replies to Duke as the man sets up his shot.

Arrow Attack! [15d6t5=4, 4, 4, 2, 3, 3, 5, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 4, 2, 6] 4 no penalties factored in
DV = 12 + net hits

Solo shares some of the highlights of the searched data.

<<Frenchman...  apperantly our lady has multiple talents. Formally she is not a lady at all... she is however the famous decker: eTher perheaps you can say that you are a fan of eTher works... her persona is a drake by the way... >>


Holy crap a decker thinks Solo... I guess I am not the only magical decker in the world... this is somewhat reassuring, but who knows what she is capable in the matrix...

One thing he was sure... no drake is going to drill a hole in her head in order to have the head ready at all time... most awakened find augmentations repulsive to behold in the astral world... and think that their magic is the most important thing...  Solo was not an exception of that... awakened was somthing that he is... he'd never perpously damage his talent altough a DNI would make his life a lot easier.

Wednesday, June 17th, 2075, Oxford. Primary Extraction Team

Trotting up the stairs with his head on a swivel, Al heard an unholy wrenching sound and looked up in time to see a whole section of the structure directly above him separate from its struts and come tumbling down. He bounded up several more steps just quickly enough that it crashed down at his heels, spraying a mist of acid that stung the back of his neck like fiery pinpricks, reminding him of that dread day more than forty years ago. His hands tingled at the memory.

No sooner had he dodged that hazard, however, than Isaint called, "Fire in the hole," and Al closed his eyes, covered his ears, and hunkered down until he heard the blast, then resumed his ascent.

All hell was breaking loose and still no sign of Doctor Dick.

Smiley will go ahead and put the guy out, since he already has him cinched up, but now he he is worried that they may be getting made.  Speaking into his subdermal mike he says urgently, "Hallie, we need magic eyes, how many are still in the building?  Tobbis, can you put a tag or something on that kid to find later?  We need to make sure no police calls go out from this house and we are going to get made!"

Subdual of dude (AGI + MA +Superior position): 19d6t5 7  When I get the chance to start putting him out my damage is 5

If I understood that right, we keep the initiative scores and Isaint goes again:

Isaint moves up the stairs, so Foe #2 comes in sight and shoots her with the rifle:
Shoot Foe #2: 15d6t5 2
I hate Orokos and it hates me...
11S AP-2

Afterwards -10 to ini to go on full defense

32



Isaint moved up the last steps, went around the corner and had just enough time for another snapshot at his second opponent before he went into a dive roll to avoid the inevitable response.

[Wednesday June 17th, 2076, ~23:32, Various Locations, Oxford]

@Main Team [Al, Snow Crash, Isaint, Daddy, Duke, Jackhammer (& Tobis)]:

Fraggers just don’t know when to quit!  A dull thunk is followed by a clatter and then the air around Al and Daddy ignites as the magnesium particles ejected by the flashbang grenade combust with another deafening crack…almost covering the soft sound of more bullets winging towards, and past, Isaint…

Ignoring the incoming fire whickering towards Duke and Jackhammer they calmly line themselves up on the drone and with efficient grace sending it tumbling out of the sky where it crashes somewhere out of sight on Observatory Street…

'Huh, did that grenade actually hit?' Isaint didn't have much more time to think and his shot had already hit the unconscious body.  Well, the Gel ammo hopefully wouldn't kill his downed foe and anyway he had more pressing concerns. A new player had entered the game and his team mates where still playing a few levels below him.
Silently he thanked god and what ever engineer had designed this cheap, cheap rifle to be outfitted with a slightly larger magazine than other, stronger types.

He took a moment to steady his aim and sent another gel bullet downrange towards his new opponent.


Ini 13:
Simple Action: Aim
Simple Action: Shoot Foe #4: 16d6t5 7

11S AP-2 + successes

[Tobbis -Wednesday June 17th, 2076 - Following target in his Jackrabbit - Kid Extraction team - Current condition 2 Stun damage - in VR in Hot-Sim
Hearing panicked cries on his commlink, Tobbis threw out a few perception checks towards the school and the maths department, yet before he could hone in on anything down there to really help them out as that was the primary goal, the conflict was practically over. Good, the main objective should be easy for those guys, now to focus on the two secondary objectives. he thought to himself.


Focusing on the team he was part of now, he realized that they were having some trouble with the first guard, and as they had agreed, were working to knock the sucker out. Tobbis was a bit of a devious dog, he didn’t hack like deckers would of course. If had known about the garbage in/garbage out, and had cleaner at paw, he so totally would have started running that, nearly two hours ago. But alas, he didn’t have these options at the time. So he went  with his next best trick.. Make them think something has already happened. 

As his dog-brained car continued to go down the road, he’d soon need to check where the target he was chasing was, he began threading power around him, channeling it into the form of a bow and arrow, pulling back the string and firing a shot towards the servent’s commlink was, Floom! The arrow fired off, streaking across the matrix, suddenly making it appear as if not only the commlink called the police already, but was currently connected to the police department. He takes a note that next time, he’ll use Garbage in/Garbage out, along with this power to really  make things go the way he wants. A voice will start playing an on hold.

Thank you for calling, all agents are currently catching other bad guys. Your current wait time is thirty minutes. Please stay on the line, and an agent will be with you shortly.


There, that should allow those two deal with that one a little easier, unless the servant started trying to actually make the call from his commlink. After all it only seemed like it was connected.


22th Post
So far Solo and Hal have cameras 8/10 cameras left in my possession.
Hal has a Data jack of mine

Resonance Veil - New Icon appears - Deck attempting to hack the rigger's control rig Servent's commlink appears to already be connected tot he police - Level 2 - Blow the Limit: 15d6h5! 10    15d6h5!: 10 [15d6h5=4, 1, 4, 5, 3, [6, 5], 1, [6, 3], [6, 2], 1, [6, 2], [6, 1], [6, 6, 5], 4, 1

Ressit 2 fade: 12d6t5 2

The car wasn't given the order to follow the other icon, but to continue south on the road they were on as to keep the guy in a closer distance. Tobbis is going to have it follow, but only by giving it commands it can actually follow.

Concepts are great, but implementation sucks. Why not improve it?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2075, Oxford Local Grid. Primary Extraction Team

Snow Crash's digital avatar frowned in concentration as filaments of code wrapped around the icon of the jamming device, resolving into three straight razor slash marks. using this admin level access to upload a short virus into the boot-sector that would format the device's firmware and then triggering a reboot. The wraith like orc grinning in triumph as the opposing jamming suddenly vanished.

Snow Crash to Primary Extraction Team [Alright, that's the enemy jamming taken care of. Time to... what the frag people?! I thought we where going in for an extraction! Who the blazing hells using lethal rounds on an extraction!


Cursing in a mixture of English and Or'Zet the orc decker decides the next thing to do is to locate their payday, fast!

Matrix Perception: Searching for comlink owned by Doctor Richard Pelletiere. ((AFAIK we weren't given a comcode.))
Computers 6 + Intuition 5 + Perceptive 1 + Hot Sim 2 - Running Silent 2
Matrix Perception test: 12d6t5 3 hits
What is the device's comcode?
What grid is it running on?


Locating the target's comlink and finding out the comcode he sends a message.

Snow Crash to Doctor Richard Pelletiere [Dr. Richard, my name is Snow Crash, I'm part of the extraction team hired by Art seeking to secure you and your family safely. As you have no doubt heard things have gotten complicated, a rival team has shown up and there's a firefight going on. My primary concern is to make sure you don't get caught in any crossfire, I'm going to ask two things of you. Firstly for now, stay where you are, if your office has any cover, I would suggest making use of it. Secondly, I need you to extend me two marks on your comlink and allow me to run and maintain a trace on your physical location. This is primarily to ensure that we do not get too close while the firefight is still going on and risk you getting injured. I am presently running Matrix overwatch, more of my team are making their way towards your office once they have dealt with the other team, we also have others providing physical overwatch. Two other teams are working now to safely extract your wife and kids.

[Jackhammer -Wednesday June 17th, 2076 - At Mathematics Institute on Observatory roof with Duke - Main Extraction team - Current condition 2 damage - bow loaded & ready]
Aaron let loose his arrow, but was almost certain it would miss as he stepped between bullets and caught one in the chest. He grimaced as he pulled back his jacket and saw blood seeping around titanium-bound ribs. At least he was getting some mileage out of his 'ware. "I'm going to need some meds." he says to nobody in particular.
Pulling back the string of his bow, he laces the arrow and casts his gaze inside the building. He suddenly wishes he had some kind of microphone for communication like they did for his security jobs. "Just bring them to me..." he muttered, aiming at the hole Daddy had left in the wall.

Wednesday, June 17th, 2075, Oxford. Primary Extraction Team

Having run the veritable gauntlet of destruction on the first flight of stairs, Al had just topped up his magazine when he caught up with Daddy on the third level, only to hear a very bad clattering sound. He thought the mage was starting to yell something but he'd already thrown himself against the closest sofa, covering his head with his arms for the second time in the past five seconds.

Even through his dampers the blast sounded like the devil's own war trumps, and the light found its way past his arms into his eyes, though at that point his flare comps were able to do their job.

Immediately bounding up over the back of the sofa, he wanted to check on Daddy, but then there was no medicine in a firefight - first they had to win the engagement. He hightailed it on up to the top floor, leveled his weapon and cast about for a target. He quickly spotted a new asshole firing at Isaint from about where Doctor Dick's office was supposed to be….
