Rafa's hands didn't even have the time to close around the empty clip, with one fluid movement -the result of years of experience- the empty clip vanished in his pockets and a new one was jammed into the rifle.
Adrenaline pumped through his body, he enjoyed the rush. In combat everything was clear, simple, fun. It made him feel alive.
Caretakers words reached his ears and forced him to take action.
Talk? Surrender? Ni de coña!
He spun around filled with rage and made sure to make his shot count. No way in hell was this guy getting out of this without a good asskicking.


Composure combat monster (6d6.hits(5)=0) So yeah, Rafa keeps fighting.
Simple to insert clip, simple to shoot:
Geek the mage! (14d6.hits(5)=6)
Edge: Rafa's P.O.ed (8d6.hits(5)=4)
So, 10 hits to shoot the mage.

If only Pusher had known what this day had in store for him he would have defiantly stayed home, maybe not only today but even the rest of the week, but now it was too late. the bullet fired by Rafa was accurate and hit Pusher right between the eyes, The force so massive, it played ping-pong with it's designated target, not once but twice hit pushers head the ground leaving blood red markings on it. He was alive, but for all he might as well be dead, so impressive it looked. You notice that both elevators come your way, most likely the Sec, even KE might be coming up.

Suggestion to Rafa to get rid of his Rifle - hide it, so there are no problems with the Law, at least until they see the bullet and determine this was no pistol.
Going on, this can be retroactive


The cavalry finally arrives: more than a dozen Knight Errant officers, Needle security, and men in black—presumably the movie’s security. The confused fans are escorted out for questioning, while the thieves are secured with zip-ties and hauled away. Big Ben is on the phone with Needle owners talking about scheduling delays and negotiating a new filming time, when the place has been cleaned up later this year. DocWagon paramedics arrive in the next elevator, going from person to person checking to see if any need medical attention and/or they have a doc wagon contract.Pusher, and Utha receive first aid to keep them alive, thou the injurie were severe, but not lethal, not for now. The stuntmen that were to wear the armor appear from the green room oblivions to the commotion that happened here. The elf and Pandora are now surrounded by security. The elf appears to have some medical training as he’s checking if Pandora has a concussion, though you’re a bit distracted as you can finally see Pandora’s beautiful hazel eyes. This leaves you standing in the midst of scattered Pandora memorabilia.

The elf leaves Pandora and walks over to you. He greets you, handing out his card, which reads “Richard Fermin, Media Arts Manager, Charisma Associates.”

“Hey, I’m Mr. Fermin from Charisma Associates,” he says as he shakes everyone’s hand. He gives a small note to Freya while giving her a handshacke “I appreciate you guys’ help. Pandora wanted me to express her thanks.” He looks to her and nods. Pandora smiles back as she is escorted by security down stairs. “I want to go one step further. If we have further incidents due to Ben’s props, I would like to have your group there to handle it. I can offer you a retainer during the filming of Big Ben’s new movie, plus I can set up accommodations while you are working for me.”
nego and every else will be handled by us later phase, but the just of it is, you are going to Hollywood, if you agree that is, pay is double Slade paid you. a bit more if the nego go well. you are given 3 days to prep for the travel.
you are taking a orbital plane, meaning heavy security, travelling light, so will want to have a list of items you are taking or leaving, of course there is a possibility to pay for extra luggage - 2k

"What the ...," Panther said as she spotted something coming up at hight speed.  She ducked instinctively and it flew just past her.  Hearing another shot she spotted the guy who had just surrendered going down.  'Probably Rafa,' she thought as she quickly grabbed his commlink, turned it off and put it in her bag.  She took one of the other commlinks she had scanned and did the same, just before the Errants arrived.

When Mr. Fermin came with his offer, she was immediately in favour.  She, going to Hollywood, seeing all the stars she had read about on the matrix.  She might get some prime footage that way.

With everything calmed down a bit, she turned to the two mages in the group.
"Not that I don't appreciate your contribution to the fight," she said, "But next time could you please try to do so without affecting your teammates with those spells, or putting them in the line of the object you throw."

"Thank you Professor. You can get back to the astral now." - Eddy was a little disappointed he wasn't much of a help in the fight but he was determined he will be of some help. As fast as he could, he went into the corridor where Rafa's "victims" laid. He knew security was on the way, so he quickly chose the smallest one of them and concentrated. His power flooded out of him, encased the attacker...and changed him. When Eddy was finished, it was just a small animal, laying there unconscious. He quickly gathered every piece of evidence that remained (his deactivated commlink, weapon etc.) hiding them in his pockets, entrusting everything else on his spirit. "Carry him to my room and lock him away. The window is open, so you can get in easily. Conceal and guard him until I get there, if you may!" - he told to the Matriarch.

Information is always appreciated. - he thought in himself.

Freya felt really relieved she had dodged from the flying object sent by Eddy. Silliness, she thought, if it will go on like this, it will turn out to be the craziest mission ever with the strangest partners ever… luckily not all of them…  Situation took an unexpected turn when the terrifying dwarf started to talk to Pusher standing in the mob and suddenly the guy fell down with bloody red point between his eyes… That’s Rafa for sure, Freya chuckled to herself amusingly.

When she saw all the security persons coming, she collected her taser and put it under her jacket as well as Browny.  Freya looked around and saw Pandora with an elf. Freya smiled at Pandora seeing she was fine. Then she noticed the elf coming to her and introducing himself. Pleased to meet you, Mr.Fermin, Freya answered him with an enchanting smile and unperceivably put the note in her pocket. The possibility to continue working with the film group sounded very tempting even if it has proven to be not an easy one.

Later on Freya heard what Panther said to mages and added in quite a sharp manner – yes, that would be nice if you didn’t try to kill your teammates and Mr.Anderson could do less rabbiting and more working next time. I would really appreciate that. Luckily we all are fine by now and it would be good to keep this state.

Mr. Anderson dodges the flying object, wondering whether it was a friendlies doing or not. Looking around, most of the chaos died down save for a few bullets fired as things calmed.

As security finally arrived Mr Anderson casually slips his pistol back into his arm slide, not worried as he had a license for it. He also takes a second to tone down his wired reflexes to 3, still weary of what may go on before finally shutting it down completely as they later exit the building. 'God I need a smoke' he thinks to himself silently.

He leaves the negotiations to the specialists, but hearing that they're going to travel soon, he starts to ponder on what he may need to bring, and what's worth trying to smuggle past security.

After they've dealt with security, the confused people, received the gratitude earned from the big troll and the femme fatale (the latter was more pleasurable, plus he scored an autograph from her), Eddy tried to get to the hotel as soon as possible. He hoped that the Matriarch's journey home was eventless - such powerful spirits can conceal themselves not just from mortals, but from sensors and magicians too.

Fortunately, he found the both of them in his secure room. First, he examined the gear he and Matriarch bought home; weapon, armor, commlink - he searched for something unique. Then he put those away into the room safe, asked his spirit loudly to protect him from any harm and gladly dropped the spell. He was getting tired from it. Not wanting to replace it immediately with an other, he showed the naked man his machine pistol, pointed to the Amazon Queen besides him and said:

"I know it's uncomfortable, standing here naked, not knowing where you are, in one room with an armed mage and a royal spirit, so I will be brief. You tell me everything, your business in the Needle, employers, location, payment and such, and you can leave. I don't care about you, killing you would be pointless and messy and I assume you are just a hired hand, so you have no further obligation to your employer. We do what we are paid for, yes? If you tell me everything honestly, I'll let you go - honor among thief and such - but if you lie to me even in the tiniest detail, I'll brainwash you so hard, you are gonna spend the rest of your life in a rubber room, begging for popsicles! Or would you prefer living as a worm? Do you want me to transform you into one next time? It's not as furry and adorable as the previous one, is it?" - he said, reminding the thug about the fly above the city as a fluffy Koala. -"Now start with your name and work your way up from that!"

That was an eventful day. How about we hit a party tonight to celebrate new contract? We could get to know each other better and discuss our options. We could invite Slade if he's around also...
 
Sorry for a small delay ;)

"Red....Foot, my name." He was visibly tired and on the verge to faint. he looked very sick, being dropped by Rafa and then unconscious flown to the hotel.
"We did ... it on our own ..." After this sentence he vomited. the room filled witch the stench, you could really consider healing a bit to have a better conversation.

Shit! You could have used a thrash can! - Now I will have to mop up to stay on the good side of housekeeping! Although...the things that happen in a hotel, this shouldn't be anything major. - Sit down, let me take a look at you. Seems you have a moderate concussion and some pretty bruises. After we are done, go home and sleep it off. Here, take this Minozol for your headache, Dremital against nausea and some ice on that bruise. If you have some mystic-healer, you should see him - my magic is for hurting people, unfortunately. - he hands a plastic cup with water in it to him, while looking into his eyes to make sure he understood the meaning of the last part. - Now tell me about the job, where did you get the tip, and about those garbage bags.

That would be a good thing to do, don't you think? Freya turned to other group members while they still were here. Surely, first of all we need to get home to change and leave all the stuff and we could meet somewhere later in the evening. Just one evening out of 3 days could be spent together, she smiled. Actually, she really wanted to get home as soon as possible and get clear with the note, Fermin has given to her. She hoped there was something worthy. Probably, I should call Phil. Maybe he's in LA..., she thought.

The man took the medicine, not long after you could see that his gaze cleared and her regained a lot more composure and stance, he was no more the weak looking man you had before you just a few minutes back. Now if there were no black places from the gel round impacts you would not guess he is in pain.

How about yellow :) Just kidding, I noticed it too, going with green like everybody else.

Okay, I see I have to pry every word from your mouth. Literally. - He took a step back, so Matriarch will be between them, and said with a tone that sounded like more than one person was speaking. - Don't you think you should tell me everything? You think we are friends, aren't we? You think you should trust me, because that's your only chance. Tell me about your connection with Pusher and Slade!

The whole load was destroyed and the KE got a lead on Slade. then they even came after us and Slade had to reach deep into his po.........." For a moment he looked a bit confused then he started to talk again, this time you could feel a bit of hatred in his voice. "Hey, We ARE no friends, friends do not take each other hostage, but i can tell you that we used to run for Slade, I mentioned that he burned us, left with no work and no connections. Are you happy now, can I go now?
Oh whatever."
You can see he is angry, at least he is not calm any more.

Rafa quietly unscrewed the silencer from his rifle and hid it in one of his backpacks hidden pockets while considering what just happened. He'd just dropped four opponents without breaking a sweat -three of them before his partners even knew they were there- in the same time his five team members had taken down two. The civilians didn't even count; he could have removed them from the situation with a single grenade. Sure, voodoo-mans spell had been somewhat effective but he'd lost all credit that bought him by offering that last guy a chance to surrender.
The whole thing had seemed a little clumsy. His team members had been unprepared  to do their jobs and instead of focusing on their job, they had been star-struck and distracted by being on a movie set.
All of that boiled down to two things. First, there'd be more enemies for Rafa to deal with, which was pretty fun. But second, he couldn't count on someone having his back covered, which wasn't really that great but at least now he wouldn't make the mistake of thinking he was safe. All in all, it had been a learning experience.

Rafa dropped down to the ground and walked towards the rest of his team with a grin on his face. "So yeah, while you guys were playing with these trolo here", he prodded one of the unconcious bodies with his cyberfeet, "I took care of three more that were trying to get to the armors and still had time to take down one of them on your side of the fence."
He raised his hands, palms open, in a defensive gesture. "No, no. Don't thank me. Con gusto, de nada. Just thought that I'd let you  know that at least someone here is doing what we're paid for and that next time something like this happens, you señoras better be putting on gasmasks. Some CS or Punch would have finished all this mierda before it even begun and since I seem to be the one handling defense here, I won't hesitate one second to use it... for your own protection, of course."
He flashed a grin and winked at the two mages of the group. "Don't look like you expertos really mind friendly fire very much anyway, right?"

He listened to the job offer from Slade. It sounded like a better pay for the same job. Sure, the location wouldn't be as familiar but considering how easy this all seemed he just kept quiet and and simply nodded.


Rafa doesn't come up with anything useful to say for negotiations.
