"God it, sensai. I think, it's a good time to point out that I don't have any optical augmentations, though. Thus I guess turning off the lights will do more harm to me than to them. Also, it might attract attention both at the demiGODs and the people inside the basement.
Still, your wish is my command, ol' tusker!"

Stepping around 3 to 4 meters behind the ork, bnc follows him. Her Tom is ready but she really isn't. She never used the gun in a real firefight and she hoped she wouldn't have to.

"Roger, Slob. I'll try not to piss my chameleon suite."
bnc tries to make herself sound cool, but there is a soft tremble in her voice. What's the use in seditative drugs if you can't use them when you really need them?

Biting her lip she focusses on the job and tries to be useful without pulling the trigger. That is, without pulling her weapon's trigger.

Which icons can I see behind the doors? Are there any controls? PANs? Weapons?

[Jack_Spade]

Behind the door only two icons can be found: The Mongolian barkeeper's commlink and what seems to be an autodoc unit.

Since it's still under her control, bnc has a split second warning to intercept and delete an outgoing message to Feng: <<Help, there seem to be intruders in the cellar.>>

Otherwise no sound comes from behind the door.


I've taken the liberty to roll a quick hacking roll for you

[Volker]

Very much obliged.
Control Device: 17d6t5 5 (see below)


"They noticed us and called for help. I could suppress the message but I suggest we do this quickly."

After she issued the voice message, she sends a message from Lung Feng's commlink to the barkeeper.

<LungFeng @Mongolian barkeeper <Confront them. Buy time by involving them into a conversation. Don't hide. Don't draw weapons. Help is on the way.>>
She blends in the conversation for Slobbertooth as well to keep him informed.

He might hear a soft chuckle over the voice channel.

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth saw the text comm run over his AR feed, shrugged his shoulders and put the flash bang grenade back in his pocket. Saves me some cash, anyway.

[SgtBoomCloud]

Krestov gave pause, standing up straight in a moment and turning away from Lung Feng, arms crossed in front of him.  Suffering of those innocent...I cannot allow that.  Forgive me Torrent

Pinching his brow, the troll slowly turned around and leaned in low next to the restaurant owner, his voice dropping some of its grit.  "...I am not unreasonable man, Lung.  Life made up choice and consequence.  All trouble can go away, and return normal as if I never here.  Lung need decide if ruin of business worth price of resistance.  I know Lung not straight with me.  So tell me.  What have down in basement, da?"

[Jack_Spade]

In the cellar, no answer came from within. Silence stretched for a moment.


Krestov saw how Feng's pupils dilated for a moment as he was confronted with the truth. Yet he said:
"This is just a restaurant. There are cooking supplies and our wine and spirits down there. I really can't help you with anything else."

[Volker]

"Slob? What are we waiting for?"

[SquirrelDude]

"I was hoping he would come out to say hello after your little stunt. But since he isn't doing that..."

Slobbertooth shifted himself to the side of the door opposite the hinges. He let his HK drape from his shoulders and pulled a flash-pak from his pockets. "If the door is locked, I'll try to kick it down. Get to cover, the moment the door opens, cut the lights."

Slobbertooth quickly tested the handle to see if it would budge.

[Volker]

"Sir, yes, Sir!" I'm ready when you are.[/color}

Or at least I hope so...

[Jack_Spade]

The door was not locked and the flash bang went in without a hitch. The sound was muffled by the excellent sound proofing of the interrogation cell.

Opening the door again revealed the barkeeper lying on the ground pressing his hands on his ears. On a dentist's chair with to many straps was a naked man that looked remarkably like Scary Spice. In his left arm stuck a needle that led to a massive auto doc unit.
Besides some really gruesome looking torture tools which had left some definitive marks on Scary, there were - as bnc could identify with a glance - quite a bit of magic paraphernalia connected to Feng Shui and detection magic.

[SquirrelDude]

Flash-pak not Flash-Bang but whatever works

Slobbertooth spun into the room, saw the bartender lying on the ground and the man in the chair. "Have a look at the Scary Spice, I'll deal with the bartender." Slobbertooth ran over to the man holding his ears on the ground and gave him a square kick in the ribs.

Melee Attack: 7d6t5 2
2 Hits, 5 Str. 7 Net damage

[Jack_Spade]

The man screamed in pain and rolled up to protect his ribs, making no attempt to fight back.


Yeah, that guy is a push over. You can subdue him without rolling

[Volker]

bnc nods and rushes over to Scary Spice.
"Lung Feng might know about our presence by now. There's some detection magic working."

She takes a glimpse at Scary Spice, estimating his condition. Depending on what the injection delivers, she most probably shuts it off and tries to restore his health.

First Aid: 13d6t5 6

[Jack_Spade]

A quick look into the logs of the auto doc showed that Scary had been pumped full of tranquilizers and different kinds of truth sera, the last being scopolamin.
Besides some bruises he was healthy, without broken bones or bleeding. The auto doc did note that he had very expensive bioware implants, including enhanced kidney and liver functions, making him very resistant to drugs.
It took bnc only a few seconds to administer something to wake him up.

He started to blink and looked around before asking: "What... where the hell am I?"

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth threw the KOd bartender out of view and moved over the doorway to check that their exit was clear. He answered the captive's question.

"We're in Lung Feng's restaurant. Would you happen to be Scary Spice?"
