The rear van doors burst open. pumping lead and bolts. While mage continued patching up Mata, his spirits moved to intercept his enemies.
But it was short one the simple apperance of the troll-like creature was enough to make them flee. After scoring two hits at the troll, the mystic disappeared between cars.
For few more seconds you're hearing shots and cries of pain as the spirits fough Triad. Rapidly the link between Stryker and Guardian was severed and about minute later the same happened to the link with Spirit of Man. Both were banished from this plane.
You've been far away however by that time. An autopilot driven van using sidewalk, brute force, lamps and sounds sped through the jammed lanes. Limo fared much worse. Even though the autopilot tried to use the space after van before it closed, the standard autopilot wasn't able to cope with more difficult to handle Nightsky, and eventually it stuck between others cars hopelessly surrounded. Few minutes later a forced reboot, or maybe police EMP crashed the node and decompiled Cursors sprite, hopefully erasing all of your matrix traces along the way.
Well this was an interesting minute.
Another Bore-der
You drove in silence for several minutes, before going off-grid. You just have to manage this one more border crossing, then deliver your package – apparently to a Mafia higher up. But your encounter has been surely recorded by multiple grid cameras, and the pictures of the shot car without front glass will most probably be on most if not all border stations by now. Heck with that high body count you might even make it the tonight news. Still the decision time has come. The time now is 5:45 pm. Are you going to call Peaches? last crossing went so painlessly, surely this one won’t be any worse, right? or will you try your luck on the border, or maybe you'll try swapping cars?
Time is ticking and the border is closing.
