Hank decides that it's time to speak up. "Well, now, now we've got a problem. You see how it is, Mr. Grey. You want a package from us, and our employer, well, he wants it, too. Clearly someone's not going to be satisfied with how things work out. Problem is, we've got to figure out who that is." He takes a drink, then continues. "Our employer, of course, has a solid claim; so now we need to evaluate you and your "foundation"."

"As you suggested when you walked in, we did a run recently. But I hardly think that we took anything from you. Our targets were experienced military; your "foundation", on the other hand, seems to only have been able to afford one suit of armor and some old laser pointers. You're clearly not an experienced team. I mean, come on--a troll, two humans, and you decide the elf is the biggest threat in a close-quarters combat? I'm flattered, really, but I can assure you that even if your boys out there had guns attached to those laser pointers--which I doubt--you'd be dead before my corpse hit the floor. My associates would see to that."

"No, experienced military would have a plan for neutralizing the biggest threat first, and they wouldn't announce their numbers by this ridiculous show of force," he gestures to the lights still playing over his chest. "Unless training's gone far downhill since my days, at least. So, since we've established that you're not the people we...'dealt with' earlier, how's about you cut through the crap and give us a feasible reason why we should even consider your...proposal?" Saying this, Hank leans forward to hear what Mr. Grey's response will be.

Rybka, of course, can see the tightening of Hank's muscles; he's shifted to the edge of his seat, preparing to move quickly.

[Marak1972]

Marak shifts "uncomfortably" in his seat to get ready to move quickly, assessing the situation and deciding to wait to see if that damn shoe is gonna drop anytime soon.

[SeriousOne338]

Mister Grey turns his head and re guards the gangers. You see his through move as if he was swallowing something, or using a sub-vocal mic. the red dot on hanks disappears, and reappears on the gangers along with other red dots. A total of 5 dots appears on the ganger leader, then they shift out amongst his followers. "I guess we are at an in pass. Gentlemen you are no longer needed for this negotiation" mister grey says to the gangers.

'Now what the Frak does that mean!" he responds. You also notice the rest of the people in the restaurant start moving away from the gangers and the window spacing themselves from the impending combat.

'You'll notice the Red dots on your chest, offer hostiles and you'll be dead before you can pull the trigger" mister grey says as he takes a sip of kaf.

'You think your real smart, mister fancy the package belongs to us not you! we're here to collect, stole it far and square!'




yep things have gone from bad to worse.  So the comlink it has a single node its a comlink not some high priced super computer, its relaying audio data to a closed network near by.

[Marak1972]

Marak whispers "Yepp hear that chummers....that whistling is the other shoe coming in fast mon" As he gets ready to either flip the table or dive for cover.

[Netzgeist]

Rybka's right hand moves instintively nearer the holsters which are concealed under her jacket, but her attention is elsewhere... Mentally typing commands on an ARO representing a breach on the cheap 'link Mr. Grey is using to communicate with his associates, the girl goes in for a quick hack.

At the same time, she sends a subvocal message to all her team through her own 'link: @Team: Here's the deal, guys. I'm hacking Mr. Grey 'link, in order to get info on where his friends are. But my first move will be to send a false FIRE message to them, so hell will break loose in moments. Be on prepared."

Rybka is Hacking Mr. Grey Commlink on the Fly. Threshold is the commlink Firewall.
After three seconds: 6 (Hacking) + 2 (Improved Ability: Hacking 2) + 5 (Exploit) + 1 (Commlink Optimization) = 14 dice = 2 hits, no glitch
After six seconds: 14 dice = 5 hits, no glitch. Total hits = 7 hits in six seconds.
Depending on which turn Rybka cracked the 'link protection, the Commlink may try to find the attempted breach once or twice. Anyway, even if it finds her, she still has one action before being found out (due to her Exploit program being Muted).

[SeriousOne338]

The moment the laser sight moves off from Hank the 'Music Starts" with him diving across the table. The move is fast and brutal taking mister grey in the lower abdomen and tanking him to the ground. Smiley wisely flips his plate into mister greys face and heads in to assist Hank with mister Grey. What follows is a quick grappling moment that finds Smiley locking mister grey in a half nelson and using him as a human shield. And Hank in position of Mister Grey's predator IV's. When Hank leaps to takeout Mister Grey, Rybka  flips the table up for cover and drops to the floor and takes cover as well.  Marak following the lead of the group rolls quickly to one side and goes through the kitchen door and out of the line of fire. The moment the group takes cover there is two semi loud bangs like the sounds of a car backfiring, but you realize  that is after the front glass windows have shattered. Two of the ganger thugs drop in pieces, having been hit by a large bore rifle.  The two other gangers dodge to sides and take cover from the front windows before one takes up firing in bursts at the snipers. The other starts pointing his SMG at the table before letting loose with Long/Wide Burst. 


Ok, Rybka, soak  5DV as the bulets rip through the table.

So top of the initiative again bad guys have gone.

[Netzgeist]

Damage Resistance Test (Rybka is wearing her Urban Explorer Jumpsuit, which provide Balistic Armor 6)
Modified Damage Value = 5; Modified Armor Value = 6, mDV<mAV, so the damage is Stun
6 (Armor) + 3 (Body)  = 9 dice = 5 hits, no glitch
Armor resisted all impact; no damage done.
Still, almost everyone get's their action before Rybka, so I will just wait.


The table was a lousy protection, and bullets had passed through it. Rybka felt that her armored jumpsuit had just saved her life.

[Thvor]

Well, that went better than I expected, Hank muses to himself. Not wanting to risk Mr. Grey reacquiring it, Hank swiftly shoves one of the Predators into his pocket, keeping the one in his left hand pointed at its former owner. Then he grabs his Ingram. "Rybka, can you or Tach take out these lights? We're too visible!" he shouts.

Two simple actions to put away and then ready his weapons, plus the free action to shout. Hank's done for the round. Wish I'd thought to take at least one point in pistols during character creation. (sigh)

[Mirikon]

Sorry! There've been virus issues on my end. One of the drones picked up something, and I was working to keep them isolated from the rest of the group while purging them from my system.

[Marak1972]

Marak looks to see if there are any baddies in the kitchen before spinning, pulling his Ingrams and looking for targets.
just in case to the look in the kitchen   Percpetion + Specialization Visual    8d6.hits(5) → [1,3,6,2,4,3,6,2] = (2)
then again in the diner  8d6.hits(5) → [4,5,6,5,4,2,1,4] = (3)

Marak rolls into the kitchen, graceful except for running into the garage can. Upon the visual inspection of the kitchen marak sees the cooks have made a break for it. The back door to the alley is still open, and he can make out shadows moving toward the doorway from the alley.

[Marak1972]

" We got company coming in de back door ....chunky salsa anyone mon?? Marak quips as he opts to pull a frag grenade instead. Ready to toss next round

[Netzgeist]

Over the 'link, Rybka, from her not-so-covered location, replies to Hank's question. "Can't drop to VR on a battlefield!" Seeing that hacking Mr. Grey link has just jumped down on her priorities list, Rybka takes her thunderbolt from her holster and observes the place in order to find a better cover.

Free Action = Communication
Simple Action = Ready Weapon (Ruger Thunderbolt loaded with  Stick-n-Shock Ammo)
Simple Action = Observe in Detail
Observe in detail roll = 4 (Intuition) + 4 (Perception) +2 (Perceptive 2) + 1 (Enhanced Perception 1) = 11 dice = 3 hits, no glitch

[Mirikon]

The stealthed tank drone's turret turned, and let out two short bursts at the camera watching the van. Sure, Tachikoma could try to hack the system, but it wasn't really that good at hacking. Shooting things with drones, on the other hand, was really easy.

Two Simple actions to shoot at the camera with the tank's LMG. Short, wide bursts, so -2 to the camera's defense, if any. 7P+net hits, -2 AP. 7 hits on the first burst, 6 on the second, so I should be able to blow the camera away, yes?
17d6.hits(5)=7, 17d6.hits(5)=6

[SeriousOne338]

@ Rybka:
You see Hank and Smiley holding mister grey as a human shield between them and the Gangers. Who have taken cover behind some tables from the windows, ones facing the windows covering that angle the other is getting ready to pull cover fire on the team.

@Marak:
Marak readies his weapons in the kitchen, keeping his eye on the back door. Luckily by watching the door he sees the small round object get thrown in followed by someone yelling "Frag OUT!" Of a mind to survive the encounter he dives behind  a metal kitchen unit.

Dodge  threshold 3, if you succeed its stun damage not physical. Then save verse: 10s (For the distance away from the grenade)


@hank and Smiley
Ahh what are you guys going to do?


@Tachikoma:
The stealth tank disengages its camo and opens up with a quick burst at the where the camera should be. The LMG's round chews through the brick and wood but nothing dies, as if the person that was there is now gone.
