As Marco lifts the ganger in the air and spins him about he screams, arms and legs flailing in mid-air. And as he realizes he's been placed in the line of fire he screams again in terror.
The hail of bullets causes numerous small indentations on the van's armor but are no more than a nuisance. The grenades explode and suddenly the world around the van turns dark grey as the smoke is released.
Yelena has the satisfaction of seeing the rocket explode against the wall of a nearby warehouse.

[Qwikfix]

Arc blinked only once as she started to hear the discharge of rocket fire, her memories flashing of all the hijinks and work she had to do as a wheelgirl for the Howlers.  The image of her ork persona lowered her head once as she gripped the ground, letting out an exhalation of breath as she let instincts take over.

"Nope, gonna need to be better..."

The van seemed to move with a subtle grace with Arc at the controls.  The doppler-effected sound of the rocket flying past whizzed by the side panels whilst the machine pistol fired danced on the outside paneling.  For Arc, it felt like an itch placed on her side, little sparks flying along her physical cyberarm and hair from the effect.  And as the smoke popped, she sighed, blinking twice and turning on her thermal vision, using the map as her guide whilst the cameras to identify her opponents.  Doing the same with her camera drones, she started tagging them on their HUD display left and right, identifying for her friends as she used her last bit of attention towards a forgotten party...

Guiding the drone, the silenced barrel of the sniper rifle extended from the device, leveling on where she believed the sniper was.  With a mental squeeze of the trigger, she sent her own little delivery to the figure on the rooftops...

Okay, Super Awesome Driving Skills Go!

On the rocket:
Vehicle Dodge!: 13d6t5 3
missed, but mute point.

On the machine pistols: (target hits 2,2,3]
Vehicle Dodge!: 12d6t5 4 Miss
Vehicle Dodge!: 11d6t5 3 Miss
Vehicle Dodge!: 10d6t5 3 Glancing shot, chipped paint but no damage.

Grenades are smoke, so no damage caused, but -4 to perception to anyone that doesn't utilize alternative vision

IP 3 ACTIONS:
Free action to swap vehicle vision to thermal to circumvent smoke.

Complex action to take a drone shot at the confirmed sniper on the move.

Drone Sniper fire: 12d6t5 8 (ACC at 8 due to smartgun linked to drone)
Damage Value is 12P + net hits, AP of -4
I am sure that some concealment penalties are in order, so the hits would go:

-1: 8 hits
-2: 7 hits
-3: 6 hits
-4: 5 hits

Please also note that the drone is being aided by magical concealment, and also uses a silencer, so the shot should not be anticipated.  At all.

Marco watches the light dim and go out of the ganger he's suspended in mid-air.

As Arc watches the rooftop where the sniper is she sees a trail of sparks as heat blossoms and then is snuffed out by the snow.

[gilga]

"Dead, dead dead..." whispers Marco as he drops the ganger on top of his friends. Hoping to demoralize and distract them. In the meanwhile, he tells Wendy - "Nobody threatens the wind lady with smoke, Let's give them a taste of their own medicine... blow this smoke in their faces so that they cannot target us as easily. It comes from a grenade you should be able to pick"


He placed a man in the line of bullets and he feels nothing... Not even the slightest bit of guilt.

[SmilinIrish]

The astral fireworks make it quite obvious where the warded (or previously warded building) is located.  Jed wills himself to be there, moving at the speed of thought.  Poking his face through, he sees the mage booking it for the North exit.  As his spirit enters the building in pursuit of the mage, Jed positions himself in front of the man, and manifests himself before him.  We are coming for you.  There is nowhere for you to go.  The sad part is, you won't even see them.

[ismilealot]

Suddenly Jed's spirit materializes in front of the mage in the form of an Anklesaurus and bashes him in the face with it's club like tail.

[Qwikfix]

As her vision shifted, an overlay of the streets mixing with the thermal projections, Arc was confidently able to ignore the smoke the pervaded the van.  Her ork persona grinned as she shifted her weight, facing the group of opposition as she growled.

"Got a hit on the sniper, no confirmed kill.  Y, providing cover!""

With a roar, she unloaded on her HMG, unleashing a spray of suppressing fire over the multitude firing on her vehicular body...

Suppressive Fire: 13d6t5 6

Opponents take -6 to all dice actions for the round.  ADditionally, those not in cover must make a Rea + Edge roll or suffer 12P with AP-4

[ismilealot]

Arc's thermal vision registers widening pools of heat around the targets of her HMG fire. And suddenly the fog begins to swirl around the van in a slowly widening circle.

[Mercy Merchant]

From her vantage point, Yelena is mostly hidden in the snow from the attackers, but she is fairly certain the sniper has transmitted her location so she grabs up her shell casing and rolls a few feet to the side and brings her rifle up to sight in on a target. Cycling through the vision enhancements on the rifle scope, she uses the thermographics to aim in on the wounded rocket launcher carrier.  Taking aim, she sends a second messenger out to the target, already chambering the next round.

[ismilealot]

Yelena has the satisfaction of seeing her target go down through her sights.

Suddenly Nicolai shouts, "Look out!" as he gazes through the front of the van window through the clearing smoke he sees what thermographic vision can not, a sudden barrier in the road.

[Qwikfix]

"what!?  OH frag. HANG ONTO SOMETHING!"

As Arc registered the barrier, her instincts kicked in, taking over as she read in every factor, pooled into one response.  The vehicle weight and capabilities, their current speed, the icy conditions, the nature of the barrier...

Her figure crouched low, not unlike a skateboarder, as she went onto action.

The sound of tires on snow and ice screeched mildly as she banked right, the weight of the van swaying left.  But before it could right itself, she was already making a hard left turn, finding a patch of ice in the road to lift the right side wheels into the air.  Balanced on the two left tires, the hard left lined her up perfectly to graze tire on barrier with their obstacle, using it to bounce off of and pull a dime sized U-turn...

Now righted and clear, she gave a smirk with an exhale of breath.  "Everyone aight?"

Pilot Ground (push the limit): 18d6h5 11

Using one point of edge to push the limit, 3 remaining.

...given the roll results, I took some liberties on my performance ^^ lemme know if I need to edit.

[gilga]

As if the bullets and automatic fire were not enough, Marco was unaware of an obstacles but he was very much aware of his body and the entire van spinning. He did not have time to put on a seatbelt with the heat of battle and now with that kind of maneuver he was thrown to one of the walls of the van. Barely protecting his face from impact.

Marco desperately grabbed one of the seats, and stabilized himself. "I am okay..." he replied to Arc and then puked his previous meal all over that seat. The meal itself was far from gourmet and was no loss, but Marco felt dizzy and sick.

On the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse on Nikolai, the man seemed broken, defeated and now partially injured from the tilt. He remained silent and passive while the bullets and missiles were flying around, and Marco was wondering if the man really had emotions left in him and was mourning, or if he was coldly planning yet another revenge.

[ismilealot]

The mage jumps back startled at the sudden appearance of the anklysauros. And then an ugly look crosses his pimpled face as he pulls out a knife as quickly as thought and in an elegant graceful gesture says, "Hyvardemudelamvah." and suddenly three spinning scythes of flame come flying out of the weapon expanding to become an inferno in the small space. He looks straight at Jed and says, "Możesz umrzeć następnego."

  "You die next."
 

The van dances around the barrier, it's tires just barely clearing the spikes meant to shred them and as it spins Nicolai throws himself over Hellfire shielding him from any harm. When Arc finally rights the van he rights himself and lifting up from protecting Hellfire, his face a stone cold mask, he tells Arc. "I will take rear guns.". "Is trap. Get Yelena and get out." Getting to the rear guns is easier said than done and Nicolai fights to get to them in the back.

[SmilinIrish]

So the mage didn't bite on his little ploy.  Sending his will out to his other spirit, Jed called to him Maintain any aid you are providing to Yelena, but I need to you come and trick this mage into looking into the astral 

As his spirit slips through the door, Jed hovers menacingly over the mage, and saysNie umrę. W tym czasie wszystkie one są zrobione z wami, tsina nie będzie nawet w stanie powiedzieć, że tu jesteś.  Przez czas zrozumieć, będzie już za późno.

I won't die.  By the time they are all done with you, Tsina won't even be able to tell you were here.  By the time you understand, it will be too late.

[Qwikfix]

While her physical form lay dormanr, strapped into the driver''s seat as it was, Arc's virtual self was alive and active, eyes of that of the defiant wolf, refusing to be caged.  Keeping the pressure on their ambushers, she registered Nicolai''s words with a little growl.  "she ain't gonna like that, but I'll tell her.  Get me an exit."  Adjusting her course, she activated the team comm again.

"Y, N is calling job a bust.   COMING to you, be ready to pile in."
