"Yeah, Jink's a regular renassiance man alright, just keep him away from the women."

Switch nods to Sundance: "Fine by me."  He turns to Motoko: "You can probably put the rifle away.  If we were going to shoot you, we would have done it before pulling in here."

[Psikerlord]

Raising an eyebrow at Motoko's response, Jink smoothes back his silver black hair and quietly mutters something about the armour on her drone not being so wiz, so maybe her mechanics are not as boss as she thinks... "We talk more later, si? I promise good deal. Good for both of us, neh?" He tries on another cheesy grin, making sure to turn his head to give Motoko his "best side" as he moves alongside the unconscious Rat.

With a theatric longcoat swirl, he plucks out his trusty medkit, and gets to work, trying to coax his his patient to wakefulness as gently as possible. He makes sure to step back to give their subject eyes on his rescue team as he starts to wake (especially Crimson), hoping this will prevent an immediate freak out.

OOC:  First Aid check on Vanian (6 Logic, 6 kit, 3 skill, -2 poor conditions) (13d6.hits(5)=4) I forget exactly how much stun damage he took - hopefully this is enough- else I think you can add an extra dice for each skilled helper? Also I havent added his own -1 for his 4 boxes of stun, assuming his high pain tolerance and turning off his cyberarm takes care of two boxes for the purposes of penalties - if not though (or if that would have lead to a penalty on the first aid check) - the last dice was a miss anyway.

Also, at some point he tries to heal himself too: First Aid check on self. Including -1 for his own 4 boxes. (12d6.hits(5)=3). I think he is left with 1 box of stun for now.

Ps - Jink still  has his wired reflexes running for now. Just in case.

[Kontact]

When doing First Aid, you can specify whether you're healing physical or stun, so as long as one track isn't full he's conscious/alive.  That said, there is a threshold of 2 on first aid, so you'll have healed 2 boxes of stun on Rat and 1 on yourself.  You'll heal all the stun with rest anyway, so don't worry too much.

Vanian came to a few seconds after Jink had done his work.  He was on his back and still very groggy.
"Ahhh... fuck.  Wah happen?"  He takes a moment to look around, not really settling on anyone in particular.  "Who are all you people and what kind of trouble am I in?"

[Mirikon]

Motoko shook her head. "In your dreams, gaijin." Whatever Jink might think of himself, it is fairly clear that Motoko has no interest in him. Then again, she also doesn't look like the combat biker kind of person. As Vanian came to, she moved forward, gun over one shoulder at the moment, and said, "We're the group hired to get you out of that drekhole. I'll be taking my money now. I have repairs to do because of this run."

Vanian came to a few seconds after Jink had done his work.  He was on his back and still very groggy.
"Ahhh... fuck.  Wah happen?"  He takes a moment to look around, not really settling on anyone in particular.  "Who are all you people and what kind of trouble am I in?"

Crimson circumvents Motoko, to place the troublemaker in second row, there is time and place for everything, and asking a man in Shock form money is nowhere near considerate. @Mokoto >Mokoto, Behave if you want get paid!< The com massage was short but to the point.

"Yo, Boss, Had a nice nap there?" Crimson asked with humour and a pinch of directness, in a way just she could without being called rude. "Some Private army is after you, tried to geek you and as to boot. These people, they were a big help to get you out, without them we all would be dead." Crimson put it on thick, but she had to get the other team on the good grace of Vanian, he never spills his secrets just for fun, there must be some debt to be paid for them to get these things out of him.
Seeing Vanian's mistrusting eye, she added "Uniformed armour, same armaments, polished boots, more military and you are already in the army yourself."
"Jink's here seems a bit more knowledgeable why they might be after you, so they came to your rescues, he is the one who fixed you up as well."

[Kontact]

Rat's eyes darted back and forth.  "Crimson, right?  Nagasami's girl?  Suppose the insecure one is who Kanaga-san sent, and another one of you answers to Bilotkiy's call.  He said 'Sundance?'"  He looked over the runners he'd yet to positively identify.  "That leaves a lot of 'saviors' unaccounted for.  Equal number to my gun-hands here.  Not a particularly favorable position for anyone, tactically or financially."  He frowned a little at this, narrowed his eyes, and then rolled over on his side and started heaving as the adrenaline wore off and he nerve dumped.  "Ah!  Uhk!  Fraggit!  I'm no good for this 'playing it hard' drek.  Some of you want money, and some of  you want info.  I've got both, but what I want is to get the hell out of town."

[UmaroVI]

Sundance speaks up when Rat looks for him.

"That would be me. The Terminator sends his regards."

He decides to keep his mouth shut while Rat freaks out and let Crimson calm him down.

[funkytim]

Ghost thinks to himself that he better let Jink or Switch explain the situation to Rat realizing he might recognize his voice from the hacked call he placed before the fight.

[Kouryuu]

Typical Rat, even thou he just escaped death he is already plotting how to get his way out of paying or answearing, but this time it will not work, Crimson will not let it happen again, as Crimson was just about to start talking, Rat himself declared the lose in this. He might have seen tat it would not be as easy to play the runners, or maybe he feared what would happen if he tried. his demands reasonable. so Crimson just  went on.
"Secure location out of town? what do you have in mind? or have you prepared for such a need already?"

[Mirikon]

Motoko shook her head angrily. She didn't care about what these gaijin wanted. All she wanted was her money, so she could call the mechanic and get to work on fixing her drone. This night had already gone from bad to worse. She didn't see any reason why the rest of her team should bother helping the other team. Just get the money, and leave. She wasn't being paid to care about their problems.

"I've got some friends in the NAN if you can get me to the border.  That should cover the 'escort me to safety' part of our contract.  It's also worth it to me to drop by my shop in Redmond and pick up some of my spend-ier gear.  Don't know if it's still there.  Didn't really want to find out after my closed-circuit cameras caught a bunch of guys in black executing Lou and Graham.  Scumfuckers.  This point though, I'm burnt in this town.  Guys showing up at my home, I can't work no more.  So, if I gotta quit town, it's worth some cred if someone can bring me by the shop before we head out."

Looking at Cato, Jink, and Ghost, Vanian continues.  "Crimson says I owe you three my life.  Seeing as how I was paying her for that service, I doubt she would be saying it just to make herself look bad.  So what?  You wanna know about the eye, right?"  He sticks his hand down the front of his pants and starts rummaging around grotesquely for a moment before coming back out with a surprisingly well-made cybereye.  "I mean, it ain't a coincidence that I get this piece of shit and my world starts falling apart right after."

[funkytim]

"I have to strongly suggest against going back to your place of business.  After we got there looking for you a guy name "Clean Steve" showed up with goons sneaking in through the back and magic support.  You're lucky we got there first looking for that eye, and yes that's why we showed up at your house.  Fortunately we're working for someone who doesn't like the way some of these companies do business and has no reason to believe you had a part in some of these recent deaths.

[Psikerlord]

Jink nods along to everything people are saying, pausing only to pluck the eye from Vanian's hand and holding it up for all to see.

"Thank you Mr Vannnian. Maybe we help you out bit more, si? Maybe shop, maybe border? What do you know about this eye? Have you had, you know, good look at it?" the rigger asks.

He checks the feed from his wagon as the talking continues, keeping an eye out for any lurking bad guys...

Seeing Motoko's angry head shake, he also sends a quick message to his long time friend and mechanic, Boss.

<@Boss: Hey Bossman, Jinky here. Got a Lynx combat drone all shot up. How much you fix? Quick fix, not like last time, you hear me? OK how much. Ping me you bastard, si? There's a girl involved  Yes, course she like Jink.>  He sends Boss a few stills of the damaged drone (and a close up of Motoko...) from his camera feed to give him an idea of the damage.

[Kouryuu]

"I've got some friends in the NAN if you can get me to the border.  That should cover the 'escort me to safety' part of our contract.  It's also worth it to me to drop by my shop in Redmond and pick up some of my spend-ier gear.  Don't know if it's still there.  Didn't really want to find out after my closed-circuit cameras caught a bunch of guys in black executing Lou and Graham.  Scumfuckers.  This point though, I'm burnt in this town.  Guys showing up at my home, I can't work no more.  So, if I gotta quit town, it's worth some cred if someone can bring me by the shop before we head out."

"Our Job, is your Security, you will not get near the shop, as it may still be under surveillance, it's much safer to send some one to get what you need then to go by yourself." A strict voice said, it was hard to believe that Crimson's voice had become so hard and determined. " You are welcome to argue, but i doubt you have a shred of hope to convince us otherwise, especially how desperate poor Motoko here is to get paid, she defiantly will not allow you to risk your life to get some trinkets."
"If some one is up for risking their lives to get this man his stuff, then speak up, but i will take one of the cars and keep him safe, while others can go get the stuff." Crimson spoke more to the runners, then to Rat, He was only a fixer, not a Johnson, and fixers she handled easily.

[UmaroVI]

Sundance shrugged. "Picking up your stuff is a separate job from getting you to safety, but if you're willing to pay more for the extra work, I'm sure we can do that."

*subvocal to Crimson* *Can you handle the negotiations, Crimson? Also, see about getting us our pay transferred for the 'getting Rat to safety' part first, maybe that will stop Motoko from whining.*
