Meat splits his legs apart as far as he can, giving Flak the room necessary to step under him while still keeping a stable stance.

Easy on the goods, Flak

[vinnmun]

Flak nods and he scurries under the tunnel known as Meat as he heads towards the discussion, camera on, sword unsheathed and resting on his back, with his right hand holding the blade ever so firmly, preventing any kind of reflection he comes across. He stays in the shadows as he sneaks over, finding a spot and crouching down to not be seen, but be able to have surveillance.

Infiltration roll, just in case. Infiltration 3 + Agil 7 + Urban (12d6.hits(5)=4)

Spending edge to reroll favors, i wanna make sure they do not hear me at all.

rerolling failures (8d6.hits(5)=3)

7 hits altogether

Flak creeps tot he corner, keeping as silent as possible. The darkness is thick and the sunlight casts only a single bar of shadow light, lying in the light is the severed arm of a meta human with teeth marks in it. Using his camera he shifts into the low light band and is able to make out the forms of other meta humans gaunt and ragged looking kneeling over corpse. It takes a minute but you recognize them as ghouls. The blind ghouls are feeding on the corpse which looks like its almost down to bones.

So basically you've found some ghouls hiding in the darkness feeding on the corpse. They are speaking in Spanish a basic conversation. 

[vinnmun]

Flak sighed ever so silently, Ghouls, go figure. He subvocals to the team as he counts how many. "Ghouls...snacking."

He'll relay to the team how many he sees. He quietly sheaths his sword and keeps his hands on his SMG, he'd rather keep distance if they got into a fight.

[HydroRaven]

"Ghouls, just what we needed" thinks Crow. "From what you see, what's our safest route? Should we take care of them or is there any way to avoid them?"

[Ympulse]

So, there's ghouls. That's wonderful. where is that damned box?

"Remember we're here for identifying information, not Ghoul hunting. We need to find the camera box, or back out and go to the other location. I don't feel like wasting ammo in a Ghoul den."

[vinnmun]

Flak does a count of how many ghouls are in the area and any alternate routes, he looks around for a terminal or something that would control the cameras. He replies subvocally, "Checking.."

Visual Perception (11d6.hits(5)=5) 5 hits on visual

Like a stroke of bad luck you see the camera junction box its right above the ghouls.



Spoiler a picture is worth a thousand words.  That is how the tunnel is playing out.

[vinnmun]

Flak is flat up against the wall on the ghouls side, surveying the area. Subvocals he speaks again, "4 Ghouls, controls look to be right by them. If we are going to take these guys out. I suggest I got across (Northern end and fire from there att he ghouls while you lay down a  surppressive fire at them, Crow if you got some sort of  AOE juju that would be great...if not take on the left side of the ghouls and I'll hit the right side. Crow focus on the ones advancing, I'll take care of the ones on the ground."

[HydroRaven]

Crow nods to Flak. Sub-vocally, he tells the rest of the team, "Come on Flak, you know I only have passive AOE tricks up my sleeve.

He then thinks for a second. "How about this: Try to get to the northern corridor without being seen and then try to reason with them. If they need convincing, you can always tell them we got them cornered. Since you'll be talking from the northern corridor and we'll be in the southern corridor, the bluff might work. I'd rather not get into a close quarters fight with any ghouls, but if it comes down to that, we'll be ready.

Crow then turns over to Meat and says, "If Flak waves at you, make some noise to let them know we're here and packing heavy."

[vinnmun]

Flak sighed at the answer of his juju"I figured you might have learned something new of recent. However, reason is not likely in these guys logic right now. They are hungry, and to corner cannibals like these without some sort of offering... we might as well go plan B. I'm the only one that knows Spanish and if you haven't noticed, never was much of a people person." He looks over at Meat, "Back me up on this big guy."

[Ympulse]

Meat pondered for a moment as to how much he DID NOT WANT to get Ghoulified today, then took a deep breath.

"Flak's right, if they're hungry enough, no amount of talking is going to matter. We'll try to stay civil, but the old saying 'A Smile, a Handshake, and a Machine Gun gets more done' is how we're going to handle this. Flak, translate for me"

With that, Meat flipped the safety off on his MG and stepped into the intersection, weapon already aimed and ready to fire on the ghouls. At the same time, he barked a forceful order at the ghouls, loud enough to have his intent known across language barriers, but also soft enough to not have the noise travel too far.

"Freeze. You move I kill you all"


Readied action to open up a Narrow Cone Full Auto attack if they so much as shift their weight towards me. Going to continue the post assuming they comply. If not, I'll edit

Meat waits a moment for Flak to translate the order, then continues.

"You will step back thirty feet and stay there. If you comply we will leave you in peace and even bring another corpse into the shade for you"

[vinnmun]

Steps next to Meat pointing his SMG att he ghoul's general direction and repeats in spanish what Meat is saying to them.

Intuition 4 + SPanish 2 (speak) = 8 (8d6.hits(5)=4) That was a roll I'm glad to not mess up on. lol 4 Hits

[HydroRaven]

Crow says sub-vocally to his teammates, "Guys, I'm sure they've had plenty to eat. They might be protective of their "territory", so don't get too close. Flak, ask them if they saw anything down here anyways. Wouldn't hurt to try our luck."

Lurking Crow stays out of sight from the ghouls, but close enough to help if anything happens.

[SeriousOne338]

The ghouls jump and back away raising hands in fear. Backing away you can see real fear in they're eyes.
When Meat speaks they quiver in terror and respond with.
Hunter!
Run Hunter!
IT will hurt US!

The group begins to turn away not wanting trouble. Three of the ghouls have the milky white eyes that are usual for the race, but the fourth's eyes are colored green and auto focus on the group, some kind of cyber eyes.

Ok so they're scared of the group calling them hunters, what ever that means. AKA the local Aztlan Garrisons have an open payout to anyone that brings in ghoul heads, so they think your there for the money.
