Ghost Cartels Part 1

Cant remember where Franks shop is, which is where you were hacking from iirc, so I cant say exactly. Probably 10-15 mins.

You shooting at him then Grim?

No dodge roll for him, as he is unaware of the attack, so straight to damage resistance. He makes a valiant effort, resisting 4 total, but still...two shots to the back and he falls, dramatically slumping against the side of his monocycle.

Once everyone's inside I'll drive Yelyena over to the body and bring it inside.
Lenin is gonna come back and sit in the van with me, Stalin can guard the corpse with his nasty-blasty grenade launcher.

Doned. He's actually not *quite* dead. He would need to get to the hospital pretty damn speedy though, or he will be gone, as he is bleeding all over the place.

You hanging about here for the others to catch you up (for simplicity, I'll say everyone who was heading your way will be with you within 5 mins of you picking up the body), or are you heading out to meet them half way?

Either way, you notice that the depot has gone slightly batshit in response to the gunshots. They are still staying put, but there are now a number of goons milling about (all look like they will need a change of trousers soon), and a bunch of serious looking oriental dudes. In the middle of the oriental dudes are the old guy from the first nations that you followed there, and a slim looking troll. They are talking urgently to each other, but you cant make out about what.

OK, now that I've cleaned up my signature, I will head back to my body and meet up with the rest of the people, at the body ASAP to make sure our tracks are covered. I'll take my car.

I shan't be hanging around, I'll meet my squadmates half-way and tell them what I'm seeing as I drive there.
I'll chuck Xa underneath one of my drone racks after Yelyena kicks into action - and disarm him if he's carrying anything nasty.

Shit, I didn't see any of the shoot the dude bit.

My shop is a good half hour away even if the bike has its throttle nailed open start to finish. Its over in Tacoma if I remember correctly.

Frank will move up under cover of Nik and his drones and help retrieve Xa as sharpish as he can, then -

Frank wrote:Nik, I'm none too happy about you doing that, no matter what tits told you. But seeing as how you've already acted, lets get it cleared up.

Frank wrote:Everyone else who's on route, turn round. We have no need to flood the area with vehicles and weaponry at this time and it just increases exposure.

Frank wrote:Nik, if he's still breathing it might be prudent to see if he'll talk on why he was in there. He's not running anywhere so strip him of any gear, wrap his head in tinfoil or whatever in case he's got some cranial shit, then strap him to your medi-board thing and see if that'll slow down the speed he's leaking.

If we get anything extra off him that she doesn't want us to know then we'll have an ace ready to play in case she decides to do the exact same thing to us.

Talking is out of the question. Breathing is pushing it a bit. The blood flow is starting to abate, but that's probably not a good thing.

Besides, not dead yet..

I'll wave my hands in the air and then haul him into my medical chair to get stabilised.. Maybe?

Chair acts as a level 6 medkit, you have logic 4, -1 for conditions (back of a truck isn't exactly a sterile hospital room) and -2 for his implants. Dice pool of 7 then, and you need at least 2 hits or he croaks.

Of course, if you get 2 hits, he doesn't magically get better. He will just stop dying. You will need to heal him up out of his physical damage overflow to get him conscious.

I thought as it's a drone it would work automatically, but I guess that makes sense.

Healychair magic
5,2,6,6,5,1,3 = 4 hits

EAT STABILISATION, YOU MOTHER!

This was plan all along.. Da.

It can if you want, but that would replace your logic with its pilot program. Your logic is 4, its pilot is 3.

So, you have stopped the bleeding. He isn't getting any worse, but he's not getting better either. Also, the only thing keeping him alive now is the medkit built in to the drone, so if you take him off again....well, he better be in a clinic already.

Checking him over, he has a heavy pistol, stun baton, armour jacket, comlink...all the sort of stuff you would expect on a ganger.

People who are searching him, do a perception test, no modifiers.

Dae is calling again.

Perception 3 Intuition 4 +3 actively looking +4 cyber eyes = 14

5 hits

Perception 3 Intuition 4 +3 actively listening +4 cyber ears = 14

4 hits

Frank wrote:Nik, you talk to her. As far as she's concerned this guy died on the road before we even picked him up.

Frank, to everyone wrote:Right, team talk. Do we save this guy or not? Maybe we can get a street quack to fix him up if we get there in a hurry, then keep him sedated and out the way. Or is it too big a risk? Do we just unplug him and send his body to the crematorium?

I'll answer Dae's call.

I'll park my car around the block from the crime scene and do a cast of Sterilize.

Sterilize horse 3 (DV: 3)

Magic (6) + Spellcasting (6): 4, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 1, 6, 4, 5: 5 hits.
Draiin Resist: Logic (5) + Willpower (4): 2, 5, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3: 1 hit, 2 points of Stun.

After that, I will head up to meet with the rest of the people.

Getting on the bad side of Mr. J's is not something I want to start doing. If we're getting paid for it, then that's fine with me. This guy seems small time enough anyways.

Post by **HereComesPete** » January 7th, 2010, 21:54

Joose, did we spot anything untoward with the body?

Frank wrote:Right, consensus is dead so he gets dead.

Frank reaches over and turns off the feeds stabilising the guy on the board/chair drone.

Frank wrote:Done and done. Nik's talking to Dae, will update shortly.

Frank then gets Nik's autopilot to send the vans location to Leland so he can catch up after the astral scrub.
