When you get there, a jolly old fat man with the nametag of Joe, escorts you through a run-down bar. (why dont you ever see jolly skinny people?) The back door is made of wooden planks, and opens easily. Inside is a rectangular table with 8 chairs.
* Shimmers arrives there
(Silver it smells like a heavenly perfume)
* [^^Silver^^] inhales dreamily as he enters the bar
* Darius_the_Grey sits down
I assume you are all in attendance before the meet time?
* Shimmers goes in and sits down

<[^^Silver^^]> ---yeah, I get there for 6:45
---yep
Precisely at 7pm, two men dressed in black three-piece armani suits with wingtip shoes, dark sunglasses, and those fancy earpiece com-units walk in. They each hold a golden pistol, and look almost like carbon copies of each other. They flank the door on either side.
"look! it's Hans and Franz!"
anyone who wishes to, may make a perception roll.

* Darius_the_Grey waits for something to happen
At 7:08pm, you hear footsteps, sounds like heals on hardwood flooring. The door opens soon after that and a young lady in a fance red business suit (skirt) walks in. You soon recognize her as Kitten. "Glad you could all make it. Agent Steen and Agent Johanson, please wait for me outside."
"hey there... did I miss something?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Agent?"
"I've been contracted to find a team for a straight up assassination. So if I called the wrong people, you may excuse yourself now. If not, then lets get down to bizz."
* [^^Silver^^] raises an eyebrow at Kitten
"Whats up?"
"ooookaaay, you got the right people"
---Oh shit can I play?
"Never mind them. They dont work for anyone you know or need to worry about."
Thought you had to get offline, Crim.
"so, who we gonna ice?"
---I do..... *sob*
<[^^Silver^^]> "You can count on me. What's the scan?"
"The target's name is Cyrus. Here is a picture of him." He is dark skinned, very heavy build human, cybernetic right arm, bald. The stats say 304 pounds, 6'5".
"pretty hefty guy, who is he?"
* [^^Silver^^] examines the picture closely
---Cyrus the Virus
"Why do you want him?"
"You may know of him. He runs a local hit and run gang on the lower east side. Latest intelligence leads me to believe he will be at his warehouse on 42nd and 138th for the next week before he goes to the caribean for his annual retreat."
"hmmm gangers huh? sounds fun"
I'm not ignoring the question, get to that later Shim.
<[^^Silver^^]> "What kind of opposition should we expect?"
"He has 6 professionals with him, and maybe another dozen of streeters he grabbed off the street."
"oh that's easy"
<[^^Silver^^]> "What is the pay"
"My employer wants his head, and he seems to be reasonable enough to pay 200,000¥ total for that head."
"you mean, actually wants his head?"
"Go on, I'm listening"
* Darius_the_Grey holds his hands out
<[^^Silver^^]> "Up front?"
"Yes, he actually wants the head. You know, proof that he is all the way dead, seems he has tried killing him before only to realize the runners he hired did a shotty job.":
"You get 10% up front.:
"ahhh, that I can do"
* Darius_the_Grey fingers the pommel of his sword
"ok, I'll help for you Kitten"
"Are there any other questions? If not, I have your down payment here."
<[^^Silver^^]> "Normally, I would ask for 50% up front. But for you I'm in."
"I am there"
"ok then. You can reach me at my appartment, or via my cellphone." Kitten reaches into her right inside pocket, and removes 1 credstick with 20,000¥ on it.
* Darius_the_Grey takes the stick
"well guys, shall we plan?"
---Well it has been real, good luck you are gonna need it
"Remember, I need the head in tact...so dont ruin the eyes or marr it in anyway."
---l8r
<[^^Silver^^]> "No problem then"
---later Crim.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---later
Kitten leaves the room, and you hear 3 pairs of footsteps leave the building.
---Nite
*** CrimsonDeity has quit IRC (Quit: Bringing back the Old School)
"so, how we gonna do this?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Nice rear view. I wonder what's up with that?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "I say we pass by the warehouse first and check it out"
"dunno, I am beginning not trust her though, shame that she's a johnson"
"and you know what they say.... never trust a johnson"
"my first rule never trust anyone "
"that works tooo"
"well, let's take a look at this warehouse"
"so should we case the joint and check around to see what's on the streets about him?"
"you know something I wanna know? why are they always warehouses? why not a nice boat? or a trailer?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Who's car do we take?"
How many criminals can afford a boat or trailer?
---me
---hehe
"you can drive"
<[^^Silver^^]> ---I could :)
<[^^Silver^^]> "Allright, lets go then"
* [^^Silver^^] stands and heads for the exit
* Darius_the_Grey wanders out to Silver's car
"I can check the word on te street if you want?"
* Shimmers heads to Silver's car getting in
Joe calls out: "Hope you enjoyed yourselves! Come again!"
"Go ahead"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Thanks, I'm pretty sure we will"
"Will do"
So you guys heading out to the warehouse, checking word on the street or what?
* [^^Silver^^] disarms the alarm system on his nice new care
<[^^Silver^^]> ---I think do
<[^^Silver^^]> ---do=both
Ok, who is checking the streets for info, and who are you contacting?
<[^^Silver^^]> "Well Darius you going to check the streets or come with us?"
"I'll talk around"
----roll street ettiquette?
Depends, are you going to talk to one of your contacts, or just ask around on the street?
-uummmm
---contact, Lone Star cop
* [^^Silver^^] starts up the Westwind and pulls out heading to warehouse
<[^^Silver^^]> ---brb
The warehouse is a 130 yards long, 40 yeards wide and about 15 yards tall. No windows, two doors on the right side, big front sliding doors. Its made of brick.
* Shimmers checks the astral
* [^^Silver^^] checking for possible sniping positions
Nothing astrally
Its a warehouse, they could sit on top and snipe, but no one is up there.
---k
"nothing on the astral"
>>>RING RING (Silver)
<[^^Silver^^]> >>>hello
Out front you see two pacing guards. They carry M22A2s, are about 15 years old each, human, and wear uniforms.
>>>this guy is heavy, has a rap sheet like my laundry list
>>>we will doing the world in general a favor by removing his presence
<[^^Silver^^]> >>>cool, where you want us to pick you up at?
>>>my place
About that time you notice a guard change over. The two pacing guards come to 'attention' and hold their rifles up, the two replacing them do the same, then the original two go back inside.
* [^^Silver^^] looking for spots for him to snipe from
<[^^Silver^^]> >>>Cool see you in a few.
The whole area are just a bunch of ware houses lining a street....one right next to the other, really no good spots to sit and snipe except roof top or in a tree.

Out the window you see a cruiser drive by.
"hmmm, Lone Star, that's odd"
* [^^Silver^^] parks the car and gets out arming the sec system after Shimmers gets out
* Shimmers gets out and heads to the door
Not for a nice neighborhood it isnt.
"Hey Darius"

<[^^Silver^^]> Nice pad man."

RAINING...YES, I love it when it rains! (Sorry, that was off the subject. )
"well, you know, crime does pay"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Well for one thing the fragger has kids guarding the damn place"
"oh great, you got a narcojet?"
"I think we should do this as clean as possible"

"Well lets try not to kill the kids, all we want is the head"
"Shimers, you got any nonlethel spells?"
---are there warehouses on either side of it? If so how far away from the main building?

---BRB

<[^^Silver^^]> "Well we blow a wall at the back and throw some concussion grenades in"
<[^^Silver^^]> "How does that sound?"
"pretty good to me, let's roll"
<[^^Silver^^]> !booze
* Knever_the_Knowbot whips out a small notebook 1"guess I should start a tab huh?"6 and writes "tab for [^^Silver^^]"
It's now 9pm
"Sounds good to me"

<[^^Silver^^]> ---Sounds like your having fun Nikki :)
---tremendous fun...never good for a GM to be having. hehe
Ok, so you head over that way?

* [^^Silver^^] goes to his car disarming the sec. system getting in and starting it up
* [^^Silver^^] heads for the location
"let Shimmers use one of your narco's for the guards, I can be nonlethal"
You just driving up to the front door?
<[^^Silver^^]> ---brb

;-)
"Ok, I'll use a narco, honestly how hard do you think this will be?"
<[^^Silver^^]> ---back
"you never know"
-errr
"you never know"
* [^^Silver^^] parks about two blocks away on the street behind it
ok, you're there.
* [^^Silver^^] gets out and goes to his trunk and opens it
"okay, so you blow the hole, take Shimmers with you, I'll come in through the front"
Did you want to drive past the warehouse behind, or come around sneaky like?
<[^^Silver^^]> ---sneaky like :)
oky doky.
--I am walking around the front, sword hidden by my longcoat and a conealed predator
---why do I have visions of Highlander running through my head???
---hehe
Ok, Dar, you get around front, you dont think the guards have seen you yet.
---There can be only one!
* Darius_the_Grey walk along looking like he belongs there, waiting for Silver to work his magic in the back
<[^^Silver^^]> ---inside of the trunk are 3 shotguns, a couple of UZI III's, a sniper rifle, a couple of cases of ammo, and a drekload of CXII with detonators
<[^^Silver^^]> ---and the narcojects
---oh goody, CLAY!!! Sorry you woulda had to be there for that run to understand it....n/m
<[^^Silver^^]> "Which one you want Shim? Pistol or Rifle"
---we took a footlocker full of C12 and made little doughboys out of them, and dropped them on a ganglords bunker. It was hilarious.
"Pistol, please"
One of the guards looks at you Dar, then seems to ignore you and goes back to pacing.
Its a little girl, about 13 years old, wearing a military outfit and struggling to keep the 26 pound rifle in her hands.
* [^^Silver^^] gives her the pistol
* Darius_the_Grey wanders up to the door
"scuse me, any of you got a light?"
* Darius_the_Grey pulls some smokes out of his pocket
* [^^Silver^^] checks his Manhunters and makes up a charge of CXII with a radio detonator
"Yea sure." The girl goes to one of her pockets, the little boy holds his rifle, knees shaking aiming it at you.
---you guys better hurry
"hold on there son, I just wanted a light"
* Shimmers heads toward Darius
* Darius_the_Grey holds his hands up
"Sorry sir, orders. By rights I shouldnt let you on the property, but you look harmless enough."
(all that said while his knees are still knocking.)
* [^^Silver^^] puts the charge in his inside pocket and holsters his pistols. Closes the trunk and walks over
"well, you know, I was sposed to meet a 'friend' of mine here and well, she looks to be late"
---hold on, GM must go afk for 1second
or more
---k
<[^^Silver^^]> ---k
back
---k
* [^^Silver^^] walks up to Darius
"Ok, just move slow, and keep your hands where I can see em."
<[^^Silver^^]> "Hey man whats up?"
"no problem man"
---is that Shimmers or SIlver
* [^^Silver^^] raises his hands slowly and approaches slowly
* Darius_the_Grey lights his ciggarrette and then backs off
<[^^Silver^^]> ---me
----k
"thanks for the light"
"Thought you were meeting a girl here!"
* Shimmers walks up
"there she is"
"Sorry I'm late"
* Darius_the_Grey nods at Shimmers
"about time"
"later guys.."
"What is this, a fragging party...this is private property! Shove off!"
* Darius_the_Grey starts walking up
"Hope you don't mind I brought a friend?"
---of
"sure, the more the merrier"
The girl seems to be getting a bit nervous now too, but she keeps the smile plastered on her face.
---I though you were gonna go through the back?
* [^^Silver^^] flashes the girl a big grin and follos Dar
<[^^Silver^^]> ---heehee I'm sorry I thought that was the back :) sorry
<[^^Silver^^]> ---that is what I get for not paying attention
Ok, the guy has his rifle pointed at Shimmers, and the girl grabs hers a bit tighter...but still non-threateningly.
* Darius_the_Grey starts walking off
* Shimmers follows Dar
--we gotta do something...
* Darius_the_Grey whispers to Shimm 1"I'll get the girl, you get the boy, with your pistol"
You hear the door open to the front of the warehouse. If you turn and look you see a Stretch=Stretch=Stretch white limo pull out and stop on the drive.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---k, how about we fire a shot in the air and you come running back saying that we tried to kill you
---sure
* [^^Silver^^] looks over his shoulder
<[^^Silver^^]> ---then I go to the back and blow the back
* Darius_the_Grey stops and looks at what is happening with the Limo
You see a man get out of the drivers seat. He is dressed like a butler.
He just waits in the door of the limo.
* [^^Silver^^] whispers to Darius lets duck into this alley
* Darius_the_Grey ducks into the alley 1"shit that's gonna be the target, new plan, I get the target, you guys take the guards"
* [^^Silver^^] gets a concussion grenade ready
* Darius_the_Grey waits
* Shimmers nods and gets the pistol ready
Soon after, a short, fat white man in a white suit comes waddling out with a big accountant's briefcase. Gets into the back of the limo, but the driver doesnt move.
---was that the target?
---Not him
---cyber guy
