Chopper shrugs at Frank.

Chopper wrote:I dunno. Could be anything. Bar brawl I got into maybe? Funnily enough just before we went to the Verge that time I'd just been in...oh.

Erm, did I ever tell you guys the story about that bent detective?

Frank wrote:No Chopper, you didn't. The short version before we bust this door in and take a look downstairs would be good.

Nik, if you could get your drones up and watching for trouble that would be great.

Remember guys, this is nominally a triple A corp facility. If we fuck up we won't get arrested by some pissant lone star, we'll get taken, fucked up, experimented on and then probably mind wiped and cut in to bits for further testing.

If we're lucky.

Chopper wrote:Oh you know, usual shit. Some cops turned up at the bar drunk as hell, started messing with the girls. One of them got a bit too hands on with one of the girls, and I don't like dudes that hit girls. So I laid him out. Then we went to the Verge.

Chopper looks thoughtful for a moment.

Chopper wrote:
Oh yeah, so when we got back I tracked him down, took him out and burnt down his house. You reckon that's what this is all about?

Frank wrote:You know, if it was anyone else I'd stare in disbelief, but as it's you I can't even be certain it's the most stupid thing you've done.

Did you recognize the guy behind the counter? Maybe he was in the bar when you fucked up the rent a cop.

Anyway, this isn't getting us any further, lets go.

Frank puts his helmet on and seals it up, then eases the door open.

Agility 7 + infiltration 2 = 9, 3 hits.

Hahaha!

Nik' thinks for a moment, too.

Nikolai wrote:Seems fair.

I'll pop lenin out too, and buzz my dragonfly up to Frank.
I'll be calling my Ferret back to the van, doesn't look like anyone's coming out the front door.

Chopper wrote:Dunno about that guy behind the counter. I'm not entirely sure it's about that anyway. I mean, I did burn down his house to get rid of the evidence. Even tried to make it look like he'd passed out drunk and dropped a cigarette.

Good plan I thought.

I'll be setting Lenin and Stalin to circle the joint and keep peepers on entrances and exits.
I'll buzz my Dragonfly up to Frank and hop inside, too.

Nikolai over comms wrote:Ah, Frank! Xotite potancevat?
Where do you need eyes, friend?

In hindsight I'll be leaving my ferret on a patrol route around the perimeter of my van.

Inside the door is a staircase down, turning a corner a floor down. No lights, but there's light enough to see by coming from behind you.

*cough*

I assumed Frank would be going recon - but I'll shoot my 'fly down and take a peek around the corner.

Jooooooo...

I mean

Peeeeeeete!

Right, Frank will button up and head down a few metres behind the drone whilst cycling through vision modes and keep his wunder ears pegged back.

Eyes - intuition 4 perception 3 cyber 4 actively looking 3 = 14 = 5 hits

Ears - 14 = 5 hits

Chopper will saunter along after Frank. Stealthy sauntering.

Infiltration (3) + Agility (5) = 8

3,1,3,5,4,6,6,6 = 4 hits

Chopper, you stealthy bastard. Of course, stealthing along behind a big ork in heavy body armour slightly spoils the effect.

Drone gets to the bottom first, and can see around the corner. Its a long corridor, cleanish but cheaply decorated, with a number of doors off each side. One of the doors is open, with what is either a tall dwarf or a really hairy short human, wearing only pants, peering out down the corridor sleepily. He is looking away from the direction you guys are coming from, towards a double door at the end of the corridor. Its all brightly lit in the corridor itself, but the rooms off to the side appear to be in darkness. The one with the half naked guy in certainly is.

Oh, and Frank can just about hear someone talking urgently from the floor below, but you cant make out what they are saying.

I shall communicate thusly :D

Nikolai over comms wrote:Watch out. Naked man 'round corner.
Is hairy like you, Frank! Ha ha.

Chopper whispers to Frank wrote:Maybe you should consider fighting naked - they'd run away screaming

Frank on subvocal mic wrote:Always with the funny huh? Later we'll talk bout your special ball gripping interrogation techniques but right now, shut the fuck up.

Frank shall firstly tune his ears to the voices and start to intermittently switch between the voices and background sounds even though he can't hear it clearly, then sneak up behind the dude and attempt to grab him and put a hand over his mouth and lift him off the ground so he can't kick out etc.

So, stealth - Agility 7 + infiltration 2 = 9, 3 hits

subduing - unarmed 0 Agility 7 -1 defaulting = 6, 4 hits

lifting him - Strength 6 + body 7 = 13, 6 hits

I think that'll cover it?

Chopper looks puzzled for a second as he can't specifically remember grabbing someone's balls whilst interrogating them, but on reflection he realises it's something he probably would do anyway.
