lol  Unless the fight is next door, it should be over long before the Wasp can get there.  How far away are we?

[trv123]

So as I see it, our preferred outcomes, in order, are:

1) follow shooter back to bad guy HQ
2) subdue/interrogate
3) murder

Assuming we're going for #1, it might make sense to not even engage the shooter, but instead just let him get in his car and leave.  The trick would be identifying him, I doubt he's going to walk out of the building wearing a "I'm the shooter" t-shirt.

Just voicing thoughts here, as always, others are certainly welcome.

[Mercy Merchant]

Good thoughts and I think that summarizes it well.  I am waiting to hear from Earlybird to see if he is flying solo or if he thinks the Wasp will support me dangling from below.  Tanya is good for going either way.

Am working group late but will get a post up when I get back to the hotel.

Alright, so last time around, I was doing this sort of one person at a time posting and then having the results and then doing IC posts.  This time around, folks just post your intent and then I'll try to run through an entire pass at a time.

What is my actual ETA anyway there Jade?

[Mercy Merchant]

Love the new you, Trv

[trv123]

Thanks, MM!  I'm loving it too, it is a perfect pic of Calico. I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate myself again, this time for avoiding the absolutely despicable "purrfect", which is altogether unacceptable and should never be used by anyone, ever.  Not even cat shamans.

Speaking of cat shamans, Calico will yell "Benson, get down shots fired!!", and haul ass into the other office, tackling him if a) she has time/actions for it, and b) if he allows it. Because let's face it, she's not exactly built like a linebacker.

Edit: Oh, if the door's locked, she'll blast it open with a Punch, say F9.

So Trv, can you look around for a pic of a blind Elven steampunker I am setting up for a different game?  Her hair is darkish but I am flexible about that.  Dark glasses can hide the blind eye look.  Just asking.  Please do not make this a top priority.  I am just drawing a blank.

[trv123]

If I run into anything I'll let you know, but nobody really knows what your blind elven steampunker should look like but you

So John is going for Hodges then. Ideally I want to stop the secretary from entering the room. If I can get her to open the door from the side I'll try to go in low and make use of any furniture etc in the office as cover and try to get to Hodges. If I can get him out and see if he's still alive that would be my ideal scenario.

[trv123]

I'm guessing he's dead but hoping I'm wrong. But one of us in each office sounds like a good approach for now.

[Stoneglobe]

So am I. As you went for Benson I thought it would be a good idea to at least try and save Hodges

Cal is in full-on 'neutralize threat' mode. Preferably in a fashion that allows for information-gathering.

First order of business would be identifying potential escape routes for the shooter and covering them without causing commotion.

[trv123]

Jayde, hopefully you're not waiting for Kumiho, but if you are I'd say just go ahead and roll his initiative for him. Unless he shows up to speak for himself, I guess I'll go ahead and say he would look for a Smartlink in the building that the shot came from.  Assuming he's aware of the situation.
