Ravener scans the parking lot for KE vehicles, noting them for future reference.  Letting the digital world slide into the background, he readies his rifle.  'Switching to rifle,' he mutters into his comlink. 

[0zee]

Redline released her breath as she watched her shot impact the Knight Errant officer. Steaming soykaf splashed across the pavement and the second officer soon began jerking and swaying almost drunkenly. They'd managed to clear an exit for the team inside, but the oni knew not to count on it lasting.

"Exit's clear - everyone inside needs to move to the ambulance ASAP. Advise if you're bringing company." Redline pulled back the bolt to her rifle and slotted another round in its chamber. It was a matter of when - not if - some nurse or janitor spotted the splattered KE officer or the ruckus inside and hit a PANIC button.

Still, Redline had to be impressed at Ravener's quick thinking with the alarm. Hopefully the confusion would last until they could get their package loaded and clear of what would soon be a hive of LEO's. She nodded faintly at Ravener's comment as she re-sighted her own scope.

"Don't engage anything that isn't making a beeline for us or the inside team. Hopefully they don't have company..."

[Shaihulude]

Jujin lunges forward. The guard is fumbling with his weapon as Jujin lands a series of quick strikes with his electrified blade. Jujin can feel the sword bite home, but he tried to regulate some of his damage. The one guard had to die, he was right next to him and Jujin was taking no chances, he would not kill just to kill however, unless it came to that. Sadly, it probably would.

To the nurses: "Leave now!"

[WillAsher]

Ravener tucks the butt of his rifle into his shoulder as he scans the parking lot for threats.  'Ready on overwatch,' he mutters over the comms as he readies his rifle. 

[Shaihulude]

Jujin realizes he can't waste anymore time. He runs for the doorway with his blade ready.

[Shaihulude]

Through the door, Jujin pivots around a guard, blade streaming behind him. The next guard in front of him is bringing up his rifle. Jujin rushes the guard, and puts all the strength he can manage behind his thrust, riding the momentum, as the guard falls back, already dying as the electrified blade burrows through his armor and into his chest.

The guard collapses and Jujin pulls his blade out.

He felt the hammer blows of the bullets hitting his armor, knocking him forward. Staggering against the wall, he puts a hand out to steady himself,

Jujin can see the guards seem panicked and he hope he has brought himself enough time, as he begins to sprint towards the exit.

[Jayde Moon]

Jujin moves quickly down the hall, nearly catching up with Whiskey and Raiden in seconds.  Whiskey fires another burst at the remaining Lone Star officer inside, catching him in the chest and knocking him to the ground.

He doesn't get back up.

The nurses run out of the room and then screaming down the opposite end, deducing that there isn't a 'fire' and choosing an exit besides the nearest.

The possessed guard stops dancing and looks down at his hip, before taking out his commlink and staring at it intently and with great curiosity.

[0zee]

Redline's ear twitched at the muted sound of gunfire from within the hospital. She began lining up her sights on the second previously soykaf-possessing guard, his dance interrupted as he peered down at his commlink.

"Pixie, guard number two still handled by you?" she questioned quickly through the team's comms. Her direct experience with magic was null, and she didn't exactly make it a habit to pursue making friends of awakened operatives in Renraku. Was this guy waking up out of whatever haze the fairy had put him in?

She continued looking down her sights at the remaining guard, knowing that any moment runners would be bursting through the door adjacent to him. Stating the obvious, she muttered to Ravener, "Once they're out, we need to cover them for a solid twelve seconds before bailing. Then we need to clear out fast."

[Jayde Moon]

@ Redline

The comms return a lot of static and what sounds like the pixie's voice garbled coming through.  The KE Officer holding his commlink is looking at it like it's something completely foreign to him.  After a moment, the officer cants his head and brings the commonly close to his ear, then starts and hurls it away from him.  It smacks onto the street and breaks scatters into a few pieces.

[Jayde Moon]

Several more tense seconds pass and then Jujin, Raiden, and Whiskey burst out of the front doors, pushing Kingston's gurney towards the ambulance.  Cherie hops about impatiently atop it.

The parking lot is full of nearly a hundred people, all of whom have evacuated from the hospital.  In the rush of the crowd, there doesn't seem to be any other dangers when there is a muted -CRACK- and suddenly, Whiskey flies forward, face planting into the asphalt.  The gurney lurches to the side, pushed only by Raiden who stumbles a bit.

Everyone else looks to the roof of the hospital and makes out the outline of a sniper, aiming down at the asphalt and likely preparing to take another shot...

[Forrest]

Suddenly from just above the ambulance a bold of magical power flies at the first sniper, hitting him squarely.  Another bullet rings out trying to find the invisible target, and ricochets off the concrete

[Jayde Moon]

As another shot flies, Jujin looks up and scans the roofline, noting a second sniper almost too late.  He darts to the side and a powerful rifle round etches a line onto his sleeve.  Useless against long ranged threats, he trusts in his fire support to take care of the problem.

[Shaihulude]

Jujin picks up Whiskey and continues to run towards the rest of the team. With every step, he expects to feel the punch of a bullet, but he thinks they'll make it.

[0zee]

"Drek-" Redline cursed, eyes darting to the hospital's roof to reveal the subtle outlines of shoulders and a rifle. The oni chided herself for focusing so intently on the hospital's exit, forgetting to cover other positions entirely.

Responding to her subconscious, her cybereyes shifted to a low orange hue, and the chaos of the scene below her and Ravener shifted to a cacophony of red and orange heat signatures. Adjusting her Remington's barrel towards the second enemy sniper with the aid of her enhanced vision, she reminded herself that her team needed the shot to land.

[Jayde Moon]

Just as she's about to fire, Ravener's rifle goes off.  She flinches inwardly as she fires as well, noting that the round seemed to ping off of... something? No, no... that should have hit!

She curses, ready to fire again when she notices the snipers turn their barrels towards her and Ravener.

Three more High Threat Response Officers come around the side of the building, armed with assault rifles.  Looks like there was a team on-site.  That would have been good to know.  Cherie looks over and waves a hand, her brow furrowed, and all three of the men fall to the ground.  Cherie smiles grimly before ducking suddenly and turning her attention elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the two snipers on the roof have lined up their shots and they pull the trigger.
