Robyn quickly analyzes the movements of the combatants and sees that the enemy are trying to flee.  She sends a quick message out.  >>Team. Robyn.  It seems that the enemy wants to leave.  My recommendation is to let them.  Any further fighting will only delay our movement to Below, risking our welfare for little real gain.  Let them flee so that we can depart this place and head for the mages.<<

Isaint watched the swerving Van. Almost absentmindedly he commanded Arthur:
<<Hold fire, start engine, prepare to drive.>>
While he did that, he lined up another shot, this time targeted at the Van's engine block. "Vade Retro"

Racing over to the ork archer, Al keyed the mic on his lapel and got as far as <<Inna car, big guy, less'n ya wanna...>> when he realized the thing had gone dead.

No wonder he wasn't getting any chatter from the rest of the team.

But for Al, old school was the only school. He leaned hard on the horn as he pulled a tight cookie around his coworker's feet while leaning over to push the shotgun seat door open.

Jackhammer saw the chance to be reunited with his bow and jumped into the moving vehicle using his amped-up agility like a professional acrobat. His Ruger slid somewhere inside and he nearly crushed an unconscious Robyn, suddenly finding himself somewhat distracted by the close proximity. He got his head back into the real world and scrounged for his bow. Shooting from a moving vehicle, especially one Al was driving, wouldn't be easy. But it beat sitting with his hands in his lap and listening to the radio.

Decksard wasn't gonna try to hold on to the other Van, his concentration fixed on the already levitating one, but he had other tricks in his sleeves, or rather other targets.
As he saw the big cyborg trying to retreat into the moving van, Deckard sent a wave of mana that clinched into the man - or robot,  or thing - what ever it had become.

If he had control of both the Van and the Tank, making the two tons vehicle fall onto the chromed man would be much easier.

In the back on his mind, he sent a mental command to his bound Air Elemental. "Thank you. Now could you bring the target back to us please."

His connection with the Elemental was fading, he would have to rebind it to keep it around, or he felt the next service would be the last.

Part of Robyn's conscious thought focuses on something she had earlier filed away and now brought out to the front of her mind.  >>We were splattered with many RFID tags that right now are pinging their location to the world.  If even one of them stays on us, the opposition will know where we are.  I do not have enough tag erasers to kill all of them.  Ideas?<<

[Jack_Spade]

<<If you have an agent, now would be the time to have it start data spiking. But it will be quicker if we can get pulsed again by a friendly mage. For now we need to stay within the jammer range to keep them from narcing.>>
Isaint replied with a semi conscious effort.

[Mercy Merchant]

>>Yes, I will have it do that.  That will give Ivan something to do after sitting around all day.  Um......ISaint, are you injured?  Do I need to come get you?<<

Robyn sets her deck agent to seeking out the tags and spiking them.  These spikes are weaker than hers are, but they are only going after tags.  She is more concerned right now about ISaint's condition.

[Jack_Spade]

<<My biomonitor tells me it's probably a very extensive haematoma- so yeah, as soon as we have a minute, I'll gladly let you operate on me. For now the adrenaline makes it tolerable.>>
Isaint watched as Rick tried to squash the cyborg with the floating Van, while he moved towards his bike.

With the tide clearly turned against them and their options to run being removed rapidly their desire to take you alive seems to be lower on the agenda as the first van’s turret grenade launcher fires an air burst high explosive towards the Morgan, Isaint and Deckard…
 
Meanwhile the decker, and perhaps the rigger have been busy as two of the parked cars suddenly lurch to life, one trying to impede Al’s speeding vehicle and the other accelerating towards the two remaining runners on foot…

... At least that was what the Van intended to do. Isaint noticed the turning turret and lined up his own shot before his opponent could pull the trigger.
One bullet left his rifle and hit exactly into the firing mechanism, turning the turret into dead weight.

Head on a swivel, Al did his best to keep track of the mayhem around him as he danced his ride around the parking lot-come-battlefield. One of the previously parked cars in the lot was suddenly accelerating towards Rick and Isaint. It'd likely hit a wall if it hit them, but he doubted there was anyone in it to care anyway.

And then there was another car barrelling toward him from his flank. Ignoring that one for a precious few split seconds, he floored it to close with the first car then lined up to sideswipe it off course....

[Mercy Merchant]

Robyn notes the cars starting up and realizes that the decker must be using them, perhaps with the help of the rigger.  She sends a data spike at the car's ignition and hopes it is enough to dissuade her opponent.

Robyn and Al’s interventions stop the haywire highjacked vehicles from doing any real damage but they serve to impede you all just long enough for the mortar rounds to rain down from the sky with a dim whistle…instead of whickering shrapnel however they explode just above the deck spraying an all too familiar sticky white foam across the area which almost immediately begins to harden into weird sculptural forms…with at least some of you encased within!

Freeze foam generates an armour and structure rating of 6 each across the 3x 10m radi…probably enough to swamp the whole of the car park and front of the safehouse.  It will make driving difficult but Isaint is likely to be in the area and I think Deckard is still standing in the relative open too…

[adamu]

Al never had to swerve for the chase car - it veered off course and crashed into a parked truck before it ever got close to him. He concentrated on the other ghost-car, overtaking and pushing it off course and into a wall as it was bearing down on Rick.

Then the sky went white with more of that damnable foam stuff from the mall, and he shifted course and added more speed in a bid to get clear before that crap ruined his paint job. It hardened with incredibly speed - virtually on contact - but he poured on the gas...
