The jolt from the small drone angered Rafa even further, or at least it would have, had it not been powerful to stun an elephant.
He threw the thing away from him towards the ground, shouting something along the lines of "Panther, shut that %$"@ thing down or it's gonna blow!". Though as dazed and confused as he was from the shock, he wasn't really sure if the words came out of his mouth correctly or if he was even right about the fact that is would blow up.
Through sheer willpower, the ork managed to stay upright and running, uncertain whether he was running in the right direction but for the moment, not giving a damn.

Uhm... ouch!
Resist 10S(e):6 Body + Impact 12/2 (12d6.hits(5)=3) 7S = Pain!
Resist secondary effect: 6 Body + 4 Will + 6 Half Impact (16d6.hits(5)=7) At least he's not lying down and drooling himself on camera.

As soon as Rafa grabbed the drone and it shocked him, Panther ducked behind the nearest available cover that looked as it could hold the explosion from the amount of explosives that could be packed into the little drone.

"Time for desperate measures," she muttered as she called up the little drone in her AR window.  The big one she left alone for now.  It could have shot them all if it wanted to and it hadn't.  Besides it was probably occupied with the club drones for now.


Spoof command.  I have the ID of the controller, which is a requirement.  I want to do two things, in order:
-shut down the self destruct
-have it RTB (return to base)
hacking 4 + spoof 6 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=4, 10d6.hits(5)=3)

Kour, the drone gets to throw pilot + firewall.  If I score more hits, it does as I say, otherwise it doesn't

The small drone's  engines started to work full thrust to halt the fall, stoll it was not enough, or rather Rafa's throw was so strong that it still hit the ground making a small dent in it's cassing, then it shot right up in the sky again climbing 25m in a second. There was no explosion, juat one more message >Thank you for your cooperation.< appeared on Rafas com.

The threat apparently gone, Rafa slowed down his sprint approaching his partners looking very glum, angry and a much less full of energy than usual.
"Not. A. Word.", he grumbled as he wired the money to Freya, stepped into the limo and banged his head into his seats headrest.

"Do you really think I find it funny that they apparently can come and go on my 'link as they want," Panther said, "I can tell you guys now, we have very important people interested in us.  Those drones and the ones at the movie studio were above military grade.  I mean they had firewalls like the Zurich-Orbital, which is not something you put on 'just a drone'.  We're going to have to be very careful."

Now she had seen these drones, it reminded her that they still needed to pay her for the others she had returned.  Maybe she ought to send a reminder, but she decided to wait a bit.  First they had to get the doped-up simstar/singer out of trouble.

Ahuechei shook his head  while watching the ork's battle with the drone. That one was positively crazy. And he liked that. Crazy people usualoly turned out to be those one could really rely upon, in the end.

And they tended to be more fun.

As the four of them moved towards a nice-looking lime, the red-haired elf paused a little. Was he supposed to stay until the party was over? He decided the party was just about to end anyway, and as he was assigned to this "interesting" group, he might just as well leave with them. The sooner they get to work on retrieving those materials, the better.

The ork looked like he needed some patching-up. Ahuechei saw him get in the limo and bent down to talk to him.

Do you want me to look at that? he motioned towards the burns. I've got my medkit with me, but my bike is further down the street. I can also offer you a lift, unless you prefer the limo.

The uncontrollable trembling in his limbs -only one of the effects of being electrocuted- started to subside a bit, making room for a splitting headache.
"Yeah, not gonna pass up on some painkillers... but if you don't mind, I think I'll just sit here and close my eyes for a sec, okay? I can take a simple friggin' taser, but man, this was something different."
He messed around with his eye- and ear implant settings, lowering most of the input to a level that didn't feel like he was being stabbed in the skull by burning needles.

OK, hold on, be back in a sec, Ahuechei nodded and went to get his bike.

Soon he was back, atop his red Suzuki Mirage and parked it just behind the limo. Having retrieved his medkit, Ahuechei folded himself in the back seat cursing that damn suit he was forced to wear throughout the process. In a matter of minutes, the medkit had analyzed the burns, and desinfecting spray covered the burns, followed by a cooling gel and pain-relieving patches.

Just drive when ready, I'll follow you on the bike.

Logic 3 + First aid 6 + Medkit 6 (15d6.hits(5)=6)

No Business Like Show Business!



After a successful Party you all arrive at the hotel, the way was pleasant, the were still some beverages to be had some insights shared some recordings edited and uploaded, all in all, except the Drone situation it was a rather pleasant evening. Talking about the drones Panther finds a Cred-stick on her pillow in her room with the rest of the promised amount and a chip.

Two days into the trip and you’re already making money and friends; now to look for Bacchus. Funny thing about these Angelinos, it’s like they all have some neuro disorder that makes them want instant gratification and attention. You easily have subscribed to Bacchus blog where he writes almost every detail of his day, finding him will be no problem, but knowing this would he be having the item you are interested on him, if not then where, just hidden or maybe some one is keeping it for him, and there is a kill-switch.

Additionally to the info on Andre, Bacchus, A-Kidz and Miss Daee,

Rafa's headache had subsided and he felt fit enough to get back in action. Along with the pain, his anger towards Panther slowly ebbed away too, though he was far from happy with her.
"Damnit chica, what the drek were you thinking not telling us about that drone business? If I weren't such a friendly peace-loving guy and you weren't so fine looking, or, you know, for the fact that I was groggy and you could probably hack my bank account, I just might've snapped your neck for almost getting me killed by those things! A heads up like 'Oh, by the way, we're being watched by military grade drones.' sure would've fucking come in handy before I attack a drone with my bare hands... or made a bet on it! You owe me 100 nuyen."

Freya was happy to get back to the hotel. She wanted to change for the job - Zoe gown was not a good choise for running... It was just too good to risk and damage it. That would be a real pity. She wore her armor, nice suit (she just couldn' t afford herself to look bad) and put her hair in a simple horsetail. She took both her weapons as well.
Party has been a success - very nice time arround the showbiz people and a new job with a bit of extra money. Not bad at all. I hope Panther have added the new guy to our comlink group, so he can hear our messages... Will have to ask her later.

Ok, now we just have to do some planning...

I feel stupid in this Tipsy ... Caretaker looked at himself in the mirror, wearing dark urban explorer jumsuit.
That's because you look stupidly, no class at all, and it's gonna hurt you balls, I can see already it's to tight where it counts, what are you thinking about? The ebony one or that candyhaired white? Tipsy removed a nonexistant piece of dirt from the cylinder and whirled his tail.

I wasn't ... oh shut up, Tipsy! It's getting worse now, damn you.

A little embarassed, Caretaker appeared at the lobby and ordered a drink (crushed quarters of limons on the brown sugar with a burbon and triple sec filled with crushed ice and sparkled limonade) on the room tab, waiting for the rest of the team to arrive and share their plans. Tipsy is sitting in the opposite chair picking in his teeths with an end of the tail.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Freya was ready to go downstairs to the lobby. It was not yet the time for the meeting, so she decided to have a drink in the lobby bar and wait there for the others. When she was in the lobby, she saw that Caretaker is already there - sitting at the table with a giant rat... That dwarf is really strange! Sometimes he scares me... Especially in moments like this... And why is he communicating with that THING??? she was confused. Freya went to the bar and ordered a glass of red wine - the real one. She couldn't stand the modified production - that was not a wine, just a piece of junk, impossible to enjoy.

Hey there! May I join your company? Freya smiled at Caretaker.

Sure honey. Tipsy responded before Caretaker was able to. The rats tail unfold into long straight line and rises slightly. I've kept this spot warm for ya.

The Dwarf looks like someone trying to die out of embarrassment.
