Still Waters mutters, "Find out who hired him, and..." His sentence is halting as he is forced to temporarily look back on the mundane world to doublecheck his linguasoft. "...how they knew about our meet. If he is not... candid... I would be... glad to... rough him up and... rip the memory from his mind, yes."

As if on cue, the lightning-clad rain spirit rises from a spattered mudpuddle as it materializes. With a wave of its hand the falling raindrops seem to blur the outlines and cause attention to slip away from the shaman, as well as Hank, I/O, and the target. The spirit then sinks back down into the puddle, leering at the beleaguered enemy hacker before it vanishes.

"Er.. I could take a look at that linguasoft if it's bugging ou-", he watches the spirit sink. "Fragging creepy."

"And obviously, someone at the meeting told the old man."

I/O watches the exchange between Silk and the hacker.
<com channel =team> looks like they had information from inside the meeting, they knew we were coming and they knew I walked out before taking the job. I wonder if the Johnson was actually on the up and up. Whatever the outcome can I take his com, I have to burn the one I have now.

Noise had been waiting by the door watching their six while the VIP had been loaded up into the sedan. She looks back to I/O as she receives his message

Comm: Maybe VIP is Johnson.

Comm: "The possibility had entered my mind too. -If- that's the case, I'm almost sorry Hank's patching him up. Don't know how to match that to Creepy Joe's reaction to the commcall though. I/O, take his comm, but take it now, there might be a lot of blood on it pretty soon."

Silk played shock and amazement with ridiculously wide gestures, exaggerated wide eyes and overacted speech.
"What!? Oh my God, you really think they had inside information and knew we were coming?! I can't believe we missed that, thanks for that valuable life saving piece of information!"

The gesturing stopped with her gun pointing to a spot between his eyes. Her face straightened.
"That was sarcasm, in case you missed it. Twice I offered you a way out, twice you screwed it up. Would reducing the available options to "painful" or "painless" make it easier for you? Tell me you did some legwork on your employer. Stop stating the obvious, we want the double u's. Who hired you, why was he hiring a team, when did he hire you, where did he get his information. I'm quite sure I can come up with a couple more of those W's but I'm afraid time has run out, and that's worse news for you than it is for us. You've got until the rest of the group is outside, if you've given us nothing useful by then, I'll do the choosing for you."
She repeated the gesture ordering him to turn around and get on his knees.

Comm: "Didn't bleed and my hair's synthetic. I really think leaving those guys behind for the knights to find could be helpful, they will need someone to pin this on. You really think we can get something useful from the commander? The guy who hired him's lying on the backseat of our car, after all."

Noise tosses the previously acquired comm to I/O. "Have fun. It's locked out right now."

She had previously thought of sending a message out to the rest of his guards to try and get them to backdown, but the device had locked as soon as she'd pulled it from the VIP's pockets. So much for that idea, hopefully I/O could put it to better use. 

She also held up the two other commlink's she'd grabbed. "You want these too?"

"Corland Ragley, political dickface. To kill you all. 6 O'clock. Someone at your meeting, there were no bugs or sniffers."

"Now if you don't mind, you're very beautiful but very hard to please. I don't do bondage on the first date."

5, no 10, no 15, wow it keeps going up, notification after notification pop into Silk's view. You can't help smiling internally, your old problem kicking in. Then Hank turned to patch up the VIP while Noise and I/O were mid-toss. It was just a brief moment but he took the opening.

He didn't even move his Arms, he just slotted your hand through his looped left arm. Theres pressure on your wrist and his unseen right hand pulling your gun away.

Silk roll dodge, Though you need to beat 8, no penalties though I think, anyone trying to intervene will need to worry about hitting Silk, even magically. I stress his use of a non-damaging technique.

Commlinks are all 3/3/3/3

A Storm in human form raises from the ground behind the Hacker and brings his arms around, it's lightning aura crackling.

I/O not wishing to blow his invisibility, just in case the DJ does not know he is there. Steps aside and allows the com to hit the ground, not very happy with that he looks up from the distraction and notices Jacky chan start to take silks gun away. <stunbolt Force 5:7d6.hits(5)=2,

I/O reacted quickly, maybe too quickly, as the mana built to head towards his target it suddenly surged back at him.

I/O must Resist 3P with willpower.
The spirit lunged at the Hacker. Maybe I/O's Non-Shamanic weaving distracted it. It was a moment too late, the hacker had already broken contact with Silk. He missed, but the Lightning Aura caught Silk like a taser to her arm.

REA 8 + Dodge (Melee) 8 + MBW 2 (18d6.hitsopen(5,6)=8)

The ease to which he dodges is nauseating to Noise.

He doesn't wait around, he's running out the loading bay door.

As Andromeda Sees as someone is running through the Door, she reactionary uses the sedan to intercept him in the door, there is only a small slit open so this struggler has no space to doge. and most of all the sedan will be able to block it completely, so no one can escape the loading door not even the runner. Either he will stop or be hit by the car and thrown back into the loading dock.

The sudden unbelievably quick movement and the shock from the spirit's attack left Silk speechless for a moment, a rare occasion.
By the time she regained herself, the DJ was already running. She shouted after him.
"Hey, that was uncalled for, get back here, now!"

Silk turned to address everyone, the hatred in some of her team's eyes was obvious and they could miss another distraction.
"Okay, no more fighting! Let's act like professionals." She rubbed her arm, numb from the spirit's shock and turned to the approaching DJ. "We've got a job to do and we're close to completing it. The package is already in a pretty bad shape, let's not risk getting him killed by any more mishaps. The guy's obviously a pro, for the moment let's hope he acts like one and doesn't interfere with our job anymore. We've got the answers we needed from him anyway."

The Hacker Keeps going like he never heard her, did he go deaf?

-FFFSSSSSBANG

Something explodes in the room. The doors counter-weight slams into the floor and the door flies open the whole way.


Quote
Gym 3 + Agi 9 (12d6.hits(5)=4)

Everyone in the room Roll a willpower (3) test to avoid a -2 from disorientation for a bit

The Ex-Triad, Hacker, Deltagrade Chinese man slides across the sedan's roof and out into the rain.
Through the dust, rain and his Jamming, he's gone.

Something catches Silk's eye though. He left her gun on the sedan.

A new notification pops up for Silk, "Sorry, maybe we can talk professionally one day but guns make me... Nervous."

Sender: Cho. Trace: -ERROR-
