---purple burgers for breakfast, yuck!!
---better than orange ones

You arrive at the location, which is a rented office in small office building
k
* Darius_the_Grey walks in unarmed, save for his sword
* Edwin_McManis goes up and knocks on the door
* `Cerberus walks up to the door with his infamopus duffle bag
* Shimmers go up to the door and says hi to everyone
*** Twisted_GM is now known as Johnson
lets wait for Kitten
---back, thanks
"Pleas come in the door is open
* Darius_the_Grey walks in unarmed, save for his sword
* Edwin_McManis pushes it open and walks in
* Darius_the_Grey sits down and relaxes
* `Cerberus is a fairly tall for a human, but as you see the sculpted features and pointed ears, you realize he's just about the right size for an elf. Although he wears the latest Tres Chic style of clothing and seems overly handsome, it does little to discuise his somewhat blunt manner.
* Shimmers walks in cautiously
* Shimmers is a human female, about 5'7" tall, 120lbs, shoulder-length dark brown hair, brown eyes. She is wearing a white tank top, black jeans, black ankle boots, with a black synthleather lined coat.
* Kitten-Nikki walks in, helmet tucked under her arm, jacket left open.
* `Cerberus walks in and looks for the voice
* Darius_the_Grey wears a grey suit with dark pin stripes. A long black coat covers his shoulders and the glint of sword hilt can be seen beneath. A black raven is perched on his shoulder surverying it's surroundings.
You walk into what seems to be a large conference room with a small nervous sitting at the head of the table
* Edwin_McManis is a human male 5'10 inches tall with Red hair and Deep Green eyes he is wearing a Black Trenchcoat over top of Form Fitting Armor and Black Boots
* Johnson looks you all over
"Glad to see everyone made it except for one, no matter you'll do
---uh, if its formfitting, I dont think we would be able to see it.....
<`Cerberus> "Except one?"
LOL
---um yes cause its black
---his mother dresses him :)
<`Cerberus> --- with the preception testas around here, we'd spot it in a second... :-)
"Did you call us for a reason or just to chitchat?"
"Yes, I called you all here to take care of a small problem that I have"
"Problem solving seems to be my specialty as of late. What is the problem, dear sir."
---does he look like corporate trash, or gutter trash?
* Darius_the_Grey listens silently
Well dressed corp type
---Yea, but anyone can dress corp style, I do often. Does he hold himself corp style, or wannabe?
"It seems that someone has taken someone that is important to me and I want him back"
* Kitten-Nikki cocks an eyebrow.
<`Cerberus> "SomeONE?"
"Is it a child?"
"No, an employee of mine that sought to end his contract prematurely"
"ahh, so we will not want to come back"
"No he will not. I have tracked him to a warehouse near the waterfront but I need someone to go fetch him and bring him back to me"
<`Cerberus> "How long is he going to be staying there?"
"Sir," Kitten looks him square in the face, and straighten her shoulders a bit to put on a respective look. "Do you have a folder on this said person? Who he or she was, what their specialty was, any clues we can use in finding him or her?"
"Ah, a warehouse...ok. Still need a picture though."
* Johnson pulls out a folder and slides it to Kitten
"Everything you need to know is in there"
* Kitten-Nikki opens the folder, and looks through it quickly.
"Thank you. Now the all important question....what are you looking to pay for getting your employee back?"
"Bringing someone back that doesn't want to is gonna cost"
* Darius_the_Grey reaches for the folder when kitten is done
"I am willing to pay you each 100,000¥
* Kitten-Nikki slides it over after I study the employee picture.
* Darius_the_Grey shows expression for a change
---sorry wrong one
"I am willing to pay you each 100,000¥"
"So, sir, you are saying that your employees are only worth 500,000Y to you?"
"Challenge?"
"
"The team that took him consisted of 4 cybered individuals with very big guns"
"Elaboration?"
<`Cerberus> "It ain't how big your gun is, it's how well you use it"
* `Cerberus hikes up his jeans for effect
* Darius_the_Grey chuckles
the folder that is being passed around has a picture of the target, the address, and his speciality decker
* Darius_the_Grey passes it on
"That is all I know about the team it happened very fast"
<`Cerberus> "Geekin' deckers is easy..."
* Darius_the_Grey looks to see if there is a decker in the group
<`Cerberus> 'Getten em back alive, that's soemthin diffrent"
"I want him back alive if possible, if not I want his employment terminated"
"Yea, if they dont have security."
<`Cerberus> "Well, for 100K I'll go through hell and high water"
"alive is no problem"
<`Cerberus> "Assuming, of course, my compadres are in on this too"
* `Cerberus looks
<`Cerberus> to the others
the picture shows a blonde, 40ish looking man with horn-rimmed glasses, very weasely looking
"Excuse my impertinance. But do you know who hired the goons, what you employee is planning to do with his freedom, ie run the streets, go to another corp, whatever, and if the goons have any other friends to worry about?"
"I'll help"
---What is the guy's name?
"I am game, nothing else to do next couple a days"
* Edwin_McManis shakes his head
"No"
Hans Scmidth
* Johnson looks at Ed
"No?"
---This character is pissing me off I gotta switch
---I cant do this with a guy who says one word at a time
---go ahead It's okay with me
*** Edwin_McManis is now known as Quentin_M
---uh, ignoring my questions is he?
* Darius_the_Grey sees Quentin walk in
"long time no brother"
---errr
"long time no see brother"
"All I know is that Fuchi was looking to acquire him as an employee"
"Hello"
"Sorry I am late"
"Glad you could make it sir"
"Will you all do it?"
* Quentin_M nods and sits beside Shimmers
<`Cerberus> "Sure"
"Yes"
"Fuchi, gotcha. Its a place to start. Count me in. What kind of time frame are you looking for?"
*** Lichtbringer has joined #shadowmask
"I am in"
--- don't ban me, I stay calm
"Good, my info. says that he is to be transferred to Fuchi within the next couple of days. As soon as possible please. Just meet me here when you get him"
---just use protocol
"I'm in"
"okay, we are there"
* Darius_the_Grey gets up and goes outside
"Ok sir, we need a number to contact you at when we acquire your person for you."
* Quentin_M leaves too
* Johnson hands Kitten the LTG number
"Thank you sir. I will be in touch."
"You can also call me here"
* Kitten-Nikki pockets the number, stands up, straightens her mini-skirt, and walks outside.
* Shimmers heads out
* Darius_the_Grey looks to Quent
* Darius_the_Grey then at Shimmers
"What you think?"
"easy"
"should we take a look?"
*** Johnson is now known as Twisted_GM
"Nothing is easy"
"Oh Aurora I want you to meet my brother Jason"
* Quentin_M nods at Darius
* Darius_the_Grey nods
* Darius_the_Grey smiles
"I told I could trust him, and that I woulda hated killing him"
"Uh, hi"
* Quentin_M smiles at her
"and on that note, I think I should take a peek"
<`Cerberus> "Well, we kinda look a little odd oput here"
* `Cerberus motion around the streetcorner
<`Cerberus> "Where can we meet?"
"doing this on the street is conspicuous"
"anywhere's good, there a bar around here?"
"Lets go to the Loose Moose"
"sure"
* Darius_the_Grey follows Quentin
"Lead on, I'll follow you."
* Quentin_M goes to the Loose Moose bar nodding to his ol buddy Zak as he sits in a booth
<`Cerberus> --- heh, Cerb meets Zak, this could get scary
---heh
* Darius_the_Grey sits back and relaxes
* Darius_the_Grey then apparently falls asleep
"So what is the plan?"
* Shimmers follow Quentin
<`Cerberus> "We go in, shoot everyone who isn't the target, kick him a swift kick upside the head, and drag him out"
<`Cerberus> "It's foolproof"
"They sounds like pros"
"Uh, if he is in a warehouse, couldnt we just gas the room, walk in, take who we want and leave?"
"Gas is just so..... boring"
"Unless you have something good"
"Yes, but it is ever so effective."
* Quentin_M ponders
"WE cant just go running in"
"So gas sounds good then we go in shooting"
"Sure. Gas and flash grenades. Most people wont be wearing masks and flare comp, most runners dont."
<`Cerberus> "If they're really cybered, ghas might no affect them"
"We could blow something up then drive into the warehouse and open up"
"Exactly, but we are talking corperate goons, and most corps dont over cyber people...they cant afford a few hundred thousand yen on each employee."
* Darius_the_Grey jolts back 'awake'
"Not with my car. We are taking someone elses car if we are doing that. That paint job was 15,000 yen!"
"well, I gotta a scan on the site"
"What did you see?"
"6 wireboy and our target"
<`Cerberus> "I wouldn't say that"
<`Cerberus> "Corp goons can get VEWR good at wehat they do
* Quentin_M looks at Shimmers
"You have been very quiet tonight"
"and when I say wireboys, I am not kidding"
* Shimmers looks back
<`Cerberus> "They may not wire slags, but they're razorboys and kick thier fair share of ass"
"it's a new thing for me. talk less people listen more"
"Zombies?"
"Just thinking, a lot to take in"
"don't think so, but they looked almost"
"What do you suggest?"
"walk soflty and carry a very big stick or two"
brb-need a drink talk amongst yourselves
"is there any other way in?"
"I can stun our target with a spell, and that'll keep him subdued"
"First things first, we need to find out if he has any astral protection...most likely he does."
"it's standard wharehouse, no magic support"
"I am for the diversion"
"Yeah, but we still have to take care of the others"
"none that I could see, if I couldn't see it, we don't want to be there"
"Gas probably wont work"
"How about an explosion in the rear and sides of the warehouse then they can only come out the front"
"except through the holes we make"
"I can take one you hardboys with and make a hole in the back wall"
Quentin your phone rings
"the rest can go in front and attack them from behind"
* Quentin_M picks up
>>>Q
"Ok, now, we dont want to make too much noise. I would say sneak in with silenced pistols and sweep the warehouse. We dont want to Lone Star."
"like I said, the second I see him I can subdue him"
"Nah Shotgun is coming with me for this deal"
<`Cerberus> "Well, I'll go with you if you need a sedondZ"
"I think silence would be golden on this one Quent"
"you can use my HK if you want"
"Good Deal"
* Quentin_M puts the thought of Panther Cannon out of his head
"I mean, I know you can whack the Star, but I hate the thought of being a cop killer"
"I like kitten's idea of stealth"
*** Seldarine-Rodcet has joined #shadowmask
"who here is good at sneaking?"
*** Seldarine-Rodcet is now known as Nikki-Kitten
---sorry disconned me again
"Not me, not very stealthy I'm afraid"
"I am a Sniper I am a master of stealth"
"Cerebrus? Nikki? are either of you stealthy?"
*** Kitten-Nikki has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
"I can be quiet, and deadly, yes."
*** Nikki-Kitten is now known as Kitten-Nikki
* Darius_the_Grey looks at Cerebrus
<`Cerberus> "I guess I can do stealthy"
<`Cerberus> "Not nearly as fun though"
"until the killing starts"
"as soon as we attack the game will be up"
"and then stealth is definately not an option"
"If there are so me outside windows and good cover I could snipe
"and Shimmers can attack through a broken window that you make"
"so Cerebrus, Nikki, and I will be head to head with the goons"
"Sounds like a plan"
"sound fun wnough Cerebus?"
"And I can come in as last minute backup"
"as usual?"
"I'll have to stop by home, need to get my pistol gear."
<`Cerberus> "Sure"
* Darius_the_Grey smiles
* Quentin_M whispers what he is supposed to say in Shimmers' ear
"now I can stun the guy at the surprise of the beginning"
<`Cerberus> "Teargas?"
"cool, we meet outside of the wharehouse in one hour?"
"Yes"
* Shimmers turns to Quentin
<`Cerberus> "I'll be there"
"Lets meet one block east of the warehours in an hour."
"teargas would not be good, we don't want to hurt ourselves, it's hard to cast through a mask"
"One problem at a time"
"Dont want to alert their guards."
<`Cerberus> "Illusion?"
"not my specialty man, I am all about combat"
"One block away would be better"
* Quentin_M laughs
<`Cerberus> "Killing him would be bit of a shock..."
"one block away it is"
"Oh that isnt a problem. A dart gun with some tranqs would work just as well."
I like tranqs :)
"like I said, I can stun the target, you guys worry about the goons"
* Darius_the_Grey gets up
"The target can be shot in the hip. No need to waste time stunning him."
"Ok,in an hour then"
"I will meet you folks there in one hour"
<`Cerberus> "We could just give him a quick blow to the neck"
"as I said, let me take care of the decker, you guys worry about the goons"
* Quentin_M gets up and goes to his car
<`Cerberus> "Sure"
* Darius_the_Grey gets in his car and drives off
* Shimmers gets in her car and goes to her place
* `Cerberus gets in his gleaming new truck and trive home
* Darius_the_Grey arrives in one hour at the wharehouse
* Kitten-Nikki jumps her bike, and gets her 'kit'
* Quentin_M goes and gets his bad ass combat suit yeah you know the one and goes there at the needed time
* Shimmers goes to her house and gets her Predator just in case
* Shimmers goes to the meeting place
* Darius_the_Grey waits for the others to arrive
* `Cerberus load up some gel rounds in his pistol, put it in the duffle bag, and make a purple burger for the road
"good thing Fuchi is light on magic"
* Kitten-Nikki shows up at the meeting place with a very weird looking predettor II, infact it looks like it has been turned into a rifle, she has on her skirt and jacket from before, except now she also has a couple grenades on her chest and a really mean looking knife in her boot. (9" blade)
"okay guys, are we ready?"
You really should lay off the purple burgers dude :)
"nice digs Catgirl"
<`Cerberus> --- but I got the whole COW!@
1d6
--- Quentin_M 1d6 ( 2 )
Yeah but for breakfast and Lunch, you're going to get a heart attack
---if the bullets don't get him first
---is everyone at the meet place?
---yes
"How do you know Fuchi is light on magic?"
<`Cerberus> --- independed research labs show purple meat is leaner :-)
---yup
---yes, I am there
* Quentin_M puts his palm pistols in his sleeves and his boots sheaths his knife and holsters his Preds
"that is normal for them, high on cyber, low on magic"
* Darius_the_Grey just carries his sword
"Okay"
"okay, so how do you think we should go in?"
* Shimmers readies herself
"I dunno but Dar why do you carry so many weapons?"
* Darius_the_Grey chuckles
* `Cerberus points to one of Kitten's grenades
<`Cerberus> "With a bang"
"I don't think I need I need guns, I have other weapons"
* `Cerberus pulls out the Happy Sword
"that isn't very sneaky, besides we might kill the target"
<`Cerberus> "I know the feeling"
* Quentin_M looks for a good sniping location
brb
"let's see, we can try to sneak in a window"
* Darius_the_Grey looks for a windows to go into
"You dont want me to use my frags. First off, he's right, the target could die. Secondly, it really makes a mess. I suggest a straight shoot out."
"What is the layout of the warehouse?"
"that is usually clener"
"standard wharehouse"
"big empty room in the center"
"Then won't they see you go in through a window?"
"if we pick the right one"
"They wont see me go in. Especially if you have an invis spell on you."
"hehe, like I said, illusion in not my specialty"
"but it's just one big room"
* Quentin_M keeps looking for a good sniping spot
"Yea, you said that. Ok, well, I would suggest slipping in through a window, preferably one that has an obstructed view of the inner chamber."
"
"hell I could just knock on the front door and one of you could shoot the guy who answers"
"Dont suppose one of you would do a recon astrally and tell us where the targets are?"
"sure"
The warehouse is bordered by two warehouses on either side and open area in front
* Quentin_M wonders if he could climb up one
"I will get us some recon"
There is a ladder on the one to the right that leads to the roof
"hey, we could just climb on top and snipe from there"
* Quentin_M gets his suitcase puts it over his back and climbs up
>>>Comm check
>>>yeah I'm here
"Good idea, but we need people groundside. Otherwise that aluminum roof isnt going to give you much protection, and your LOS will be limited."
"yeah, let's see, we could have Nikki and I go up front, Shimmers and Cer at the front door and Quent sniping"
---front=top
"when Nikki and I go in, Cer and Shimmers can come in through the front"
>>>Dont start til I am ready though
>>>sure thing bro
* Quentin_M when he gets up assembles his rifle and looks in
Where are you Q?
On the roof trying to peek in
okay, we have 7 hardboys now, three near the front, and four wathcing TV
"okay, we have 7 hardboys now, three near the front, and four wathcing TV"
You notice the windows are blacked out
roll percep Q
* Quentin_M slips his bot an evvelope
6d6
--- Quentin_M 6d6 ( 1 3 7 2 7 1 )
>>>Windows blacked out
* Darius_the_Grey starts climbing up the ladder
>>>cool, we can break them
"you comin NIkki?"
you hear what sounds like a door squeking open
---Kitten, not Nikki....
