Grid Traffic controll:
Device rating - Security(4)+GridSensors(4)+Clearsight(3)-Weather conditions(2)-Traffic density(1) (8d6.hits(5)=2, 8d6.hits(5)=1, 8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=2)@Motorized Crew: Garrage gate opened and two SUV`s bolted into the night. Mask was working something on his bike, and bids you farewell, he will catch up with you on the way.
Tight alley didn`t offer too much opportunity for the driving magic, so drivers just pushed the pedal and hope that everyone in the way would jump away. As a convoy merges with the traffic on the main street, thins changed a bit. More stunts, acceleration, sharp breakes.
For Brian this was fun, he never did otherwise. Fan and Judah were out in their own worlds, so they didnt mid it that much.
Shadow, well...it was a bit strange to sit in the car and watch the wheel turning all by itself. It was even less comfortable, as she knew, that in case of accident the driver is in the other car so he would be safe. OR, in case Brian didnt make it, they will simply all end up on one pile of scrapped metal. She decided to pay more attention to their surroundings to avoid such thoughts.
As both cars were passing by Cassey`s they had to deal with more dense traffic. People comming and leaving, and some of them even a bit high, werent prepared for two armoured SUVs jumping out of the night and disappear again in the rain, leaving only stench of burned gass and tires. Some bikers have their Vikings parked on the sidewalk, and as Brian avoids one slower car, with no other options left he barrely missed those,. But no harm done. Some gang members outside the bar shouted and het on their feet, well second car passing right after gave them cool splash as the car passes the pool by the road, and that seem to calm them down. Especialy when those not hit by the dirty, oily water, exploded in laugh.
Right after the crosroad the first sweat appeared on Sylvias forehead. As Brian made his way to the right dirrection with no mercy, forcing some cars to hit the breakes or to move to other stripe, he creatred enought distosion in the traffic that the sittuation was much more difficult for Fang. He had to avoid the tight spot by driving in the oposite dirrection for a few seconds, and when he barrely misses fully-loaded trailer to finaly get into right side of the road. Shadow has the image if chrommed grating and bouncers before her eyes a little biit longer than she would love to.
Both cars speed up the road , having only a little problems avoiding light traffic. 1:AM, half of the shift in Boening, rainy night, there are only those who have to be on the roads. Truck drivers, taxis,trash vans and maybe a few other professionals. It wasnt as dense to threaten fat sunning SUVs, but it wasn`t the empty road.
As serpentines down to the river closed Brian gets almost relaxed behind the wheel...
Car running in the opposite side, suddenly appearing behind the curve took him all by the surprise
Expression in the face of the driver, when first SUV avoids him from his right is worth remembering. Only thing that calms Brian down on the situation is the fact that even if he didn`t made it, they would probably not fly too far in this forested area.
Shadow watches the whole situation with increasing nervosity, as it almost looked like Fang is leaving her alone. She was almost ready to take the wheel and try to override it, trying at least to save her life or die by her own hand, but Fang surprised her with swift zigzag, and they passed the sedan from its right. Shadow for sure has much more time to observe driver and by the moment of their closest passing, she knew for sure poor man pissed himself.
And suddenly, they were out of the curves and forrested arrea and there was clear view on the Auburn - Echo lake cotoff road, standing above the terrain like some ancient viaduct. As the crossroads and ramps closed, they knew they would have to choose.
Traffic on the highway would possibly be more dense than on side roads they were just passing, well multiple stripes are amking it spread and you all know, that by this time you may launch street race up there with only little obstacles Also, the Highway surface is hydrophopic and with the micro drainage, it is highly possible that the road would be completely dry. Well, for those races most time cops are paid to look away, otherwise the security network on the highway is much denser, with grid sensor combined with gates, aerial surveillance drones and omnipresent highway patrolls. It is possible to avoid their attention, at least for the short distance, And thios crew need only about 4 kms, but the risk is high.
On the other side, continuing by the SE Auburn Black Diamond road means continuing on the same way as you do untill now, as the traffic would be heavier as you close to the centre of the district. The surveilance increases also, but far less than on the highway. This road takes you almost exactly to the place you need to be, depending on the direction Nick is running. The distance you need to drive is the same.
@Fang During the long sprint following the T-crossroad you can see that thre was some minor accident following your
entrée. Before you reach the end of the straight way...
Roll Matrix perception.@Nick: You start to run again to get out of the house ,and you hear strange pitching sound and screams of pain behind your back, even throught those doors. You are on the 3rd st. NW. To the left you you would get to Auburn hospital, to the right there is monorail track. About 120 meters south there is monorail station. If you run straight a few meters more, you can get to main road with quite dense traffic, which you can see from here. If you across the street you can get to some entrance to Auburn Junction. You know this place, because lots of yours patients home visit, at least those more adventurous types, happened here.
Huge bulk of multilevel buildings, densely interconnected with skybridges, elevators and escalators, forming a complex used both for commercial and for residential purposes.
Many enclosed patios, wide corridors, roof gardens and parks were once meant to create place of harmony, firm point of human coexistence in chaotic urban wilderness. Well, it possibly even was...before men moved in.
Its construction is a history of corruption, abuse of public funds, furious competition and even some sabotages between developers. Not every wall, ceiling or floor was built with use of proper technologies and materials, in adition to that this place is fire-fighter`s nightmare.
Some apartements and even larger areas were abandoned, well, before squatters settled there, and with squatters some more vicious threats came. Some parts of the complex are believed to be haunted, both by magical and technological means, and less than half of Junction is now considered to be "Safe place to live, work and raise childen".
Still, there are many, who embrace all possible advantages this place has to offer. Maybe 3000 people living here...
@Judah: You know exactly where to go, and it doesnt surprise you that you are on the spot faster than you spirit puppy. The street is calm and quiet at the time of your arrival, only a few watchers visible guarding the appartement complex. And, of course, there is Nick, running for his life from the buildings entrance. His aura shows great disturbances, not that he would need healing, but he is eveidently under heavy pressure and even when you se ehope and faith in his aura, you also see fear and doubt.
