The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 6

<DeathStar> 4.3.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: Radio City Club (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> <Narrator> The Cypher Tech-Runner group is an unusual story. I have debated where to begin their story. The things that brought each of them to Asarar Cypher's club, which she built up with Kira Li, were varied. Reasons and agendas are everything on Kumen, especially in the slums, were life is hard and someone will kill you for the clothes on your back. Getting above the slums is not easy, except in certain Quads where you can rise up easier. Your DataReader, which is everything, can help you get through checkpoints, and lucky Asarar - who goes by Cypher, could crack it for them. Which let them get jobs above the slum levels or in other Quads. (cont)
<DeathStar> <Narrator> The group had been working together for many weeks by the time my story picks up. Doing little jobs, and trying to build a small nest egg for each of themselves, for whatever reason. One would wonder why Asarar ran such a group, when her club was successfully legit, which is hard to do, especially in Quad 5. And one of the few places where people could go to escape being molested or exploited. The top 5 levels were cut off to everyone in the club, even to those who rented out rooms in the building, open to only those part of the team, with special keycards that Asarar gave out to them. With rooms for them that would be considered VIP to anyone else, and the top floor their base of operations, where they could store their work tools and work on their own jobs and stuff. In the center was a massive terminal Asarar had hooked up, along with their radio broadcast channel, which allowed them to be hooked up in the quad to broadcast their 'radio songs' their singers sang.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits on the very top floor, tinkering with the terminal, wearing her traditional clothes, as shown in her bio top picture. Her gloved hands move along the keypad, researching a job she has been looking into for the past few days, chewing on her lip
<SuperKoala> *Otto cleans his rifle, looking over a news ticker as he does, a slim built human in his late 20s
<Seraphna> * Luciana, or Luci, was sitting nearby, tinkering with a bracer shield wearing very plain attire, loose fitting pants and a tank top, her long white and pink hair pulled back as she did.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back and taps a button, and a small map on the screen shows a few hundred dots moving around. "Well, that is a success." 6* She murmurs, and raises an eyebrow, tapping a few dots on the middle class area
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Huh. Neat.
<Seraphna> * Luci peers around. "Sound proud of yourself for something."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *is in a room that has been set up as a gymnasium, wearing boxing gloves and training attire, wailing on a large punching bag*
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva walks by, having just returned from a side job, with a cap on and some casual attire with a shoulder bag, not looking all that different from someone who might be doing deliveries. She carries a tray, setting a cup with a cold tea on a counter near Kira, then moves toward the monitoring room that Asarar and Luciana reside in.
<Seraphna> * Luci was a good singer, but could often be a little blunt in personal interactions.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Just those who download our song into their DataReaders can be tracked now. 6* She closes down the tracker. "Might be useful in the future for reasons." 6* She stands up and sits down in her chair, adjusting her tie. "Alright, this job looks legit, but I want to check it out." 6* She muses, and taps a button for an intercomm. "Attention, anyone interested in a job, I will be doing recon to make sure this is okay."
<Seraphna> * Luci raises a brow. "Solo recon or was that asking us to join in?"
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Asarar!
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva holds out the tray as she enters, offering a soda and a half a sandwich.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *grabs a towel to wipe of her forehead before draping it around her shoulders and then grabs her cup of tea, heading to the terminal*
<SuperKoala> *Otto looks up froms his corner on the monitoring room, tilting his head predator like and moves over quietly
<Chainy> 6*three small creatures trot in after Otto
<SuperKoala> *Otto eyes them coldly before squating and waiting for the information
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Asking, like usual
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I put in the order you wanted." 6She takes a breath and her hand not offering the tray removes her cap, shaking her head and hair free and letting her cat ears perk up and wiggle free. "But are we leaving again so soon, master?"
<Seraphna> * Luci's eyebrow twitches slightly as it does every time she hears a title like 'master' and shrugs. "I'm in."
<Chainy> 6*the creatures, phigglets, sit at Asarar's feet
<SuperKoala> *Otto continues eyeing them
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Do you even need to ask?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar blinks and pets Ylva. "Thank you. She picks up one phigglet, and leans back, waving Ylva to sit. "You should eat. You look tired."
<Chainy> 6*it whiggles its snout
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I am okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods, and takes a sandwich. "Alright, here's what is up."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar speaks, using her DataReader to connect to the terminal, being a hacker type, the line from her hand, adjusting the glove discreetly to hide her hand, to the terminal
<Seraphna> * Lisa picks up another, gently stroking the phigglet as she listens.
<SuperKoala> *Otto slowly looks away from the remaining phigglet to look
<Chainy> 6*the remaining one snorts at Otto to be held
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva tilts her head and picks up the last, stroking its head gently.
<Chainy> 6*its pacified
<DeathStar> 6* She brings up the job information on screen. "There is information on a large shipment of something being moved in our backyard, Quad 5. In the shadier areas." 6* She brings up a photo of Quad 5, known as the Red Light District to many due to it's nature in the slums, mimicing what it offers in the middle and noble classes in a distorted way
<Seraphna> * Lisa frowns a bit but keeps watching and listening.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> These photos show the darkest areas of Quad 5 where a lot of things happen, sleazy things and trafficking. This shipment is unknown, but it has a lot of sources whispering about the amount of coin
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If it is human trafficing - Biotects, fauna, whatever, I don't care. I want it. Even if we don't make coin, I'll pay you all out of my own pocket to get them to this club because I can employ them and make up for it
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Could be anything."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If it's something else, well, we'll get it. I don't like the sound of it. We need recon to see what it is
<Chainy> 68the phigglets snort in agreement
<Seraphna> * Lisa's shoulders relax a bit, she seems to admire Asarar for that.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Do we know if it's street level or corporate level. *His voice sounds dead, being completely flat
<DeathStar> <Asarar> All of it is pointing to street, Otto, but we can never be sure the Corporate don't have fingers in it. 6* Her voice goes dead whenever Corporate is mentioned. So far they have not done any jobs dealing with them, despite the fact Asarar seems to have a lot of files on each Corporation's dealings in the Slums, built up over the past two mnths
<DeathStar> <Asarar> After the Biotect VIII incident, and the public outcry, they have been very careful with human trafficking
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> But not unheard of...
<Seraphna> Lisa> "They bloody well better."
<SuperKoala> Otto> If we can find someone involved I can make it very easy.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. Not unheard of. 6* She whispers
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, lets go out. I will leave a message for those not here to find us
<Seraphna> * Lisa's hand tightens a little, human trafficking her big hot button.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva hides her ears with the cap she sets back on, not revealing herself a Fauna in the field, always calling Asarar by name or code rather than the title of master.
<SuperKoala> *Otto grabs his briefcase
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises. "I sent the location to your datapads. Get your gear and meet me there in an hour. Once we check the area out we will best decide on how to recon it."
<DeathStar> *datareaders
<Seraphna> * Lia nods and grabs her gear, throwing on the jumpsuit that conforms to her body and shows metal shards, befoe covering it with her greatcoat, bracer on under the sleeve.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *heads back to her room now*
<SuperKoala> *Otto heads out, looking at his datareader quickly
<Seraphna> * Luci fixes the rest of her gear under the coat and follows Otto.
<DeathStar> 6* The small screen appears to him, showing the block and street. Asarar opens the window, despite being about 40 floors up.
<DeathStar> 6* And grabs a small grappling hook to shoot it to the next building, her way out
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva walks over and glances out when she does, then peers at Asarar.
<Chainy> 6*the phigglets wiggle free and scurry to a room downstairs
<SuperKoala> *Otto takes the stairs wanting to be on the ground
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Asarar-- finish your sandwich.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at Ylva. "Yes, master." 6* She jokes, putting it in her mouth
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Hrmph!
<Chainy> <Wolfe>....6*stomach growl behind Ylva
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva jumps slightly, glancing back.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Ah, Mr... Wolfe. You're hungry?
<Seraphna> * Lisa walks with Otto so that no one's alone.
<Chainy> 6*Looming over Ylva is a scruffy man, still wearing a button up shirt and tie, and slacks, he nods, the phigglets at his feet
<Chainy> <Wolfe> to go
<SuperKoala> *Otto eyes her quietly but doesn't say anything
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I shall grab you something on the way out. We have a job!
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva notes, tapping his datareader. 1"Look it over on the way."
<Chainy> <Wolfe> I already know, possible trafficing
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *steps out of her room, zipping up her bodysuit, then heads for the roof*
<Chainy> 6*he yawns scratching his stubble
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Yeah... I really... do not like it.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva hands him a mug of coffee just made, smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks at Wolfe
<Chainy> 6*he grabs his coat and drains the coffee
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ah, Wolfe. Our wayward teammate
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Amusing Bismark..." *she says, thinking of something*
<Chainy> <Wolfe> Asarar 6*he nods his head
<DeathStar> <Asarar> See you on the other side. 6* She fires, and flies across to the next building, her coat flapping and lands, rolling and eats her sandwich as she climbs down the two story building to street level, her gauntlet flying back up
<SuperKoala> Otto> Yes.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Oh! When we are out, please call me Witch, Mr. Wolfe.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar taps her earpiece. "Cypher is on the move to location."
<Seraphna> Luci> "That you prefer the ground to high up. Here we go..." *she begins to make her way with Otto*
<Chainy> <Wolfe> ...6*he snorts slightly and heads out with Ylva
<SuperKoala> *Otto taps his "Aegis and Bismark as well"
<SuperKoala> Otto> Because I'm a marksman
<Seraphna> Luci> "Yep."
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva grabs a stack of ten sandwiches wrapped in saran from a fridge as they pass the kitchen, handing it to Wolfe, grabbing a modified pistol from her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks along the street, mild acidic rain falling, rare for Quad 5 due to the major lake they have unlike other quads
<SuperKoala> Otto> That's the fallback
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe seems to inhale the meal before heading fter the others quietly, hands in pockets
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *makes her way down from the theatre roof to an access vent that she slips inside and heads for the meetup site in her own way*
<DeathStar> 6* Passing various clubs and prostitutes on the ground, Asarar makes her way down the streets, then climbs up a ladder to a rooftop and uses it to kneel, waiting at the target location, a series of warehouses on the outskirts of Quad 5's northeast area, the clubs here dirtier and offering rougher stuff, the areas larger and wide open - and much more empty space for crimes. The warehouses from long ago when the slum level was the first level of the city before the other two levels were built on top of it
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks for terminals and sees nothing on the outside, despite the entire city being one big hookup, but the slums do have lots of holes in areas
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva considers, then reports. 1"Witch and Sheriff en route, Empress underway."
<Seraphna> * Luci moves along, adept and shifting her small body to move through crowds, hood of her coat pulled up to hide her hair and to not fully make people take note of a teenager girl in the slums. While keeping close to Otto, who provides a more then adequate escort.
<Chainy> 6*a sea of people seem to part for Wolfe, he yawns
<SuperKoala> *Otto blends onto the street below, becoming more scruffy as he walks through shadows, a beard forming, his skin yellowing and signs of homelessness appearing
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva doesn't really get messed with-- she's next to Wolfe.
<Seraphna> * Luci slips into the shadows with him as they move.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't see much terminals or cameras in the area. It looks like a rare deadzone, even for the slums. *she say, touching her ear piece
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A lot of warehouses, and quite a few of the roudiest clubs I've seen. The cliental here look.. disgusting. *She whispers the last word*
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *slips out of a vent and moves to kneel down next to Cypher*
<SuperKoala> *Otto taps his "Watch for people coming and goings, point someone who looks... easy to me"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers back, glancing up into the sky, taking note of the vent
<Seraphna> Luci> "Well if there was a spot to perform such a thing..." *she mumbles softly*
<DeathStar> 6* The acidic rain lets up finally, the towering plate above no longer dropping it, the sounds of fans and gears above quieting
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar muses. "You might not need to copy anyone - just come to my location on a warehouse."
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves to her location
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe quietly scans about for any missing cams or hidden eyes as they move in
<Seraphna> * Luci moves with him.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar glances at the pictures and holds up her screen glowing from her gloved hand, studying it and trying to match it - she eyes the club to the right, then peers down, tapping the roof of the warehouse.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It might be in one of these empty looking warehouses. Whatever it is. There's a dozen of them, and a dozen clubs.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva makes a face at being somewhat wet from the rain and shivers.
<DeathStar> 6* As everyone arrives at the location, on ground level, they would notice that the werehouses do have cameras on ground level, despite no hook ups on the roof
<DeathStar> 6* Near the doors
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe hands Ylva something
<Seraphna> * Luci taps her ear while facing away from them. "Eyes on the ground."
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> H-Hmm?
<Nyaomi> 6She peers up at Wolfe
<Chainy> <Wolve> put it on and lets go
<Chainy> 6* he hoists her up by the scruff
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Have a match yet?"
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva acks, flailing a little, then undoes the bundle and blinks at a red-hooded mantle.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Thanks, Sheriff.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva smiles, slipping it on.
<kalonZombie> 6*A shadow passes over Luci
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No. We have to check out this general area, or narrow it down by hacking into something
<kalonZombie> <Max> Miss me? 6*He says quietly
<Seraphna> * Luci pauses and braces herself. Then relaxes, "Shards and sharding fracks." *she says quietly under her breath*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Where are the others? *she asks, glancing around the roof*
<SuperKoala> *Otto starts hacking them silently (Hacking Implant Lv 1)
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers over the roof
<SuperKoala> *Otto is sitting in a gutter, looking the homeless part
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe sits Ylva on his shoulders on a neighboring building so she can try and climb up if possible
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Some went by foot. Tried calling them?"
<DeathStar> 6* Otto manages to hack into the camera on the warehouse with the hacking implant
<Seraphna> Luci> *comms* "We're below you."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar taps her ear. "What's the situation down there?" 6* She asks those on the ground, watching them
<SuperKoala> *Otto starts to look into the system if he can "Access"
<Seraphna> Luci> *comms* "Cameras on ground level. Otto's looking into them."
<Seraphna> * Luci barely speaks, counting on the comms to actually deliver the sound.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max stays quiet as well, staying near Luci, nodding
<DeathStar> 6* The camera seems to just be on it's own security system, which seems to be set to record and set to alert if anyone gets too close. It can only be set to off, or loop feedback
<SuperKoala> *Otto attempts to hack into another, rising and stumbling down the street if needed to be in range
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Empress and I are up here. One of the warehouses likely has what we are looking for - there's 12 of them so we need a way to narrow it down. There may be a terminal inside one. With these clubs nearby, they could go to the warehouse to do what they want. Keep the warehouses between you and the clubs. I'll keep an eye on the club to see if anyone goes to a specific warehouse
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva holds onto Wolfe, blinking at first, but over the months has come to trust in him despite his appearance
<DeathStar> 6* Otto will need to use Camera Interface, and they just scrambles a camera
<DeathStar> 6* In a general area
<SuperKoala> Otto> The one i got into is alone on a system *comms
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "If its... companionship or drugs, the clubs make ideal distribution."
<Seraphna> * Luci peers over the warehouses, looking between them and the clubs. While pretending to fiddle with her device.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes. 6* She muses, feeling along the warehouse for weak points to get in
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Otto, use your camera interference and just knock out all the cameras for a bit.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It won't last long but the others can check the doors at least
<SuperKoala> *Otto does so, "Done, go"
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves to check a door
<DeathStar> 6* The first warehouse door is locked
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves to check a second
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Check if there is a terminal inside; if so I will drop in and hack it
<Seraphna> * Luci moves to check a third.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves to check a fourth, not adept at picking locks
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks at the club, stil watching. Each warehouse is locked, but the third has fairly high security locks. Not Corporate
<Seraphna> * Luci steps back, tapping her comms. "This one's got some pretty strong security on the door." *she marks it for their communications net and moves to another*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods to Kira and leaps off the roof, landing and moves to the third warehouse
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wolfe!
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *nods back and leaps down after Cypher*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves for Luci
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I need you, Sherriff
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Cypher's calling for us
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves for Luci
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe hurries to Asarar
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If anyone has anything that can bust locks, can you break this down? 6* It would take likely 4 strength points to just break a lock of this power
<Chainy> <Wolfe> leave it to me
<kalonZombie> <Max> I could break it if Wolfe can't.
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe attempts to break the lock by force
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe uses 4 of his 9 mighty strength points and shatters the lock
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe dusts his hands off
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...yeah... I do know how to pick a lock."
<kalonZombie> <Max> This is faster.
<SuperKoala> Otto> We are on a table
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Let's just move."
<Chainy> <Wolfe> Asa, Kiki 6*refering to Ylva
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pats Kira and steps in
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> K-Kiki?
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves inside*
<DeathStar> 6* As they move in, she looks around, and lights automatically come on, responding to them. The deleric warehouse seems to have some modern tech in it. There is a terminal in the corner and there are sounds of voices in the far back, past a lot of cargo crates, marked with various quads, marked with S, MC, and NC next to each name
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Quad 5, S, Quad 6 MC..
<Seraphna> * Luci peers back in to join the others, flexing fingers and peering around quickly to see if they attracted any undue attention.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *taps her ear and then points toward the voice sin the back*
<DeathStar> 6* She whispers, moving to the terminal - the crates, large like you would need a huge crane to move, make a maze, likely for defense, block the source of the voices, yet a voice calls out. "That you, Tony? Come on and bring the food in
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hooks up to the terminal with her hacking mod and begins to9 do her job, motioning the others to do theirs
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe moves out of sight for the moment
<SuperKoala> *Otto adopts a similar accent "Yeah be back in a second!"
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva jerks and moves to hide behind Wolfe
<SuperKoala> (Master Manipulator 1)
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps guard, since guarding is what she does. She keeps out of sight for the most part, but close enough to Asarar to cover her.
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'll cover you guys while you're in there. 6*He says quietly, grabbing his hammer to protect them
<DeathStar> 6* Footsteps approach, moving the length of the maze, and two men begin to approach, talking, holding what looks to be Corporate level blasters. They pause, glancing at Kira
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *slips into the shadows*
<DeathStar> <Man> Whuh--did you see... <Man 2> Look, someone at the terminal
<DeathStar> 6* They move for Asarar, who ignores them and aim at her
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe grabs them
<Seraphna> * Luci steps out between them, her shield coming out of her arm bracer.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max grabs the other one, headbutting him
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva panics and chocks a bullet up, firing it into the ground and erupting it into a sphere that lacks gravity
<Seraphna> Luci> "Gentlemen, don't struggle, you're not paid enough."
<DeathStar> 6* 6* Wolfe, Luci, and Max, as well as the two men to float as Ylva uses her move
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe looks displeased
<Seraphna> * Luci grunts and kicks her feet back to move zero G style back to Asarar.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar turns; the one man looks dazed at the headbutt, his gun floating away from him, but the other squirms to try to escape while Wolfe is confused, swimming in place
<SuperKoala> *Otto continues along to the back
<Seraphna> * Luci grumbles about greenhorns.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max pins the one he headbutted to the wall, holding his arms behind his back
<DeathStar> <Asarar> This is the place - the shipment are exotic girls of all races. They ship to high bidders all over the quads, including up north as far as the nobles, and corporations.
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe grabs the remaining and punches him in the face
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Wh-What...
<SuperKoala> Otto> Check pockets may have key
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves through the warehouse, sticking to the shadows as she scouts it out*
<DeathStar> 6* The other goes limp - soon the effect, with both out of it, ends and they hit the ground
<Seraphna> Luci> "There might be more guards too."
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe turns him upside down and shakes him down
<Seraphna> * Luci lands in a crouch and peers around, slowly.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Ylva, watch where you fire that bloody things."
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I-- I was protecting Cypher!
<SuperKoala> *Otto is continuing along to the back, taking man 1s shape (body morph 1)
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar follows Kira; moving in a L shape through the crates, they reaach the center, kneeling beside Kira; the center has a cage of girls - Nymphs, Fauna, Weregirls, and some women who stare around blankly and look a little wooden, as well as one beautiful women with bat wings and horns
<kalonZombie> 6*Max pats down the one he's got pinned for keys
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe manages to make him drop a pack of synthetic cigs, some keys to a hovercar, make that is older than dirt, and a keycard
<Seraphna> Luci> "Probably shouldn't pull her shield away then." *she sighs and pers over the women, looking ticked off, but not a Ylva really*
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva furrows her brow at Luci and sucrries to follow Cypher, gasping at the sight of women.
<DeathStar> 6* Max finds a shock collar on the others
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe takes the card and cigs, leaving the keys
<DeathStar> 6* Two men watching them turn toward the shadows
<DeathStar> <Guard 1> You hear somethin'? <Guard 2> Think it's Tony?
<kalonZombie> 6*Max grabs his hammer and gets ready
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe drags his guy away to the shadows and gets ready for the next
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves to the side and starts making her way along the perimeter to try to come up behind the two guards*
<DeathStar> 6* The Guard approaches the shadows with the three girls, his nose hairs quivering
<SuperKoala> Otto> Nah, just me! *Otto walks to them (Body Morph Max)
<SuperKoala> (Voice and body language)
<DeathStar> 6* Then jerks back as Otto steps out of the shadows. Kira would see the area is too lit up to sneak around. She could try to climb the crates, but that is it
<DeathStar> <Guard> Where is Murphy?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar remains kneeling, standing in the shadowed spot where the lights don't reach
<SuperKoala> Otto> Went to look for Tony, got a call from him bout some shit.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Said he forgot his wallet, you know Tony
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *moves to scale the crates*
<DeathStar> 6* The guard nods and turns back to the cage; many of the girls look under fed. One is even an Asmos who looks pissed off
<DeathStar> <Guard 2> Tony, having a wallet. Hah.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max grips his hammer tighter
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps to the shadows. She eyes the final guard.
<SuperKoala> *Otto grins and dashes in, biting at Guard 1s neck and tearing if he connects
<kalonZombie> 6*Max rushes out and swings at Guard 2
<DeathStar> 6* The guard screams at the surprise attack and damage, grabbing at his neck and trying to push Otto away. Asarar grabs her energy sword and moves in, swinging at the second's legs with Max, before the guard can recover, going for a kill move, her purple eyes looking mad
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *leaps from her perch and aims a kick at the back of Guard 1s neck*
<DeathStar> 6* The second guard, looking barely 16, screams girly like, holding up his hands as the hammer smashes him onto the ground, and Asarar stabs at his heart
<SuperKoala> *Otto shifts and swings a club formed from his arm at his knees
<DeathStar> 6* Kira's kick knocks the guard's head around, knockikng him out, ans Otto knocks him down
<Seraphna> * Lisa rushes out as well, but places herself between the guards and the girls, her suit shifting to look like even stronger armor, peering around for more threats as the others have this in hand.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max doesn't stop Asarar.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva hesitates, looking a little rigid at the slaughter
<Seraphna> * Lia uses Armor Transformation 1 (+3 Durability)
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe sighs, looking away
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Mmmm. Overkill. Bismarck, with me. We're checking the rest of the place for more guards. The rest cna start rescue ops."
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows, wiping the blood off his mouth
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe moves to the women and bows his head sightly, trying to get them to trust him and make this go smoothely (Shaggy Dog)
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns and peers about, taking a breath. "Can we move all these girls?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *heads to scout out the rets of the warehouse*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves with Wolfe to free the women, looking at the cages
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans against the giant crates, deactivating her cyber sabre quietly
<DeathStar> <Asmo Woman> So, new captors?
<Seraphna> * Luci peers around to see if there's anything that will prevent the girls from running, any traps, etc.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes them, her bulbous tail swishing
<Chainy> <Wolfe> the opposite
<Seraphna> Luci> "No, we're freeing you. Though we have a place for you to stay and work if you need it."
<kalonZombie> <Max> Cute. Can we leave this one?
<DeathStar> 6* The cage seems to have an electric field running through it, the field being generated from a terminal near by. A nymph is laying on the Asmos' lap, likely burnt from it
<DeathStar> 6* The Asmos shows Max her fangs
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe eyes them then the terminal
<Chainy> <Wolfe> let me see if the key works
<Seraphna> Luci> "Someone shut down the field."
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe looks the terminal over
<kalonZombie> 6*Max looks unimpressed, but moving to find the power source if it's in the room
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva grits her teeth and brings her revolver up, firing into the field with her Evangelist: Dispel
<DeathStar> 6* The terminal has a slot for inserting something. Asarar lifts her head, hearing voices faintly. "We have our girls in here. They have not been sampled too much. We left the rare ones like the Asmos mostly in tact, since we heard taking their virginity ties them to you. Wouldn't want to lower the price." 6* Asarar peers around for another exit, moving to the back of the warehouse
<DeathStar> 6* The field sparks and seems to remain due to the power source
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Damn it..
<kalonZombie> 6*Max smashes the power source with his hammer
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *gestrues to Otto and indicates the source of the new voices*
<DeathStar> 6* Max smashes the terminal/power source, sending waves of power splashing about, and overloading the cage. The women inside scream in agony as the cage begins to overload with a surge of power
<SuperKoala> *Otto nods, still in Man 1 form and moves for the voices
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar turns back from the back door
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva jerks, bringing her gun up and ... oddly fires into her own head with full recoil and all-- then runs into the field.
<Seraphna> Luci> *comms* "Turn it off. Fast."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Keycards, heads out ass *comms
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> T-To me, to me!" She calls to them, relying on Evangelist: Equalize
<DeathStar> 6* Ylva fries herself - since her move deals with mana and status effects, not raging power sources.
<SuperKoala> *Otto rushes to intercept the voices
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe tries to use the key to get it to stop
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe could have if the terminal wasn't smashed.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar thinks quickly and yanks Ylva back. "Try your Dispel again."
<DeathStar> 6* Her hands smoking, holding the crispy Ylva
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva whimpers, but nods to Asarar, expending a Stamina point to recover Evangelist: Dispel, and shoots the field again
<DeathStar> 6* The power surge dies downm, smoke rising. The racket seems to be drawing people; Asarar points
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Max, Wolfe, cany ou use your strength to knock the crates and block their path?
<DeathStar> 6* She asks, since with it being a maze, there is only one path
<Seraphna> * Luci moves over to open the cage. "Is anyone badly hurt?"
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *scales some of the crates to get to a high vantage point to try to spot the guys coming in*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves to try to do so
<SuperKoala> *Otto contiues rushing to intercept the voices!
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe knods and tosses what he can to block the way
<Chainy> nods^
<kalonZombie> 6*Using his strength to do so if he needs to
<DeathStar> 6* The women inside are unconscious, two of the robotic looking women looking completely nonresponsive and the nymph girl looking bad off. Otherwise, the women seem fine, just needing medical aid
<DeathStar> 6* Kira would see a fancily dressed club owner moving along with men dressed in fancy suits, along with a lot of goons with blasters moving until the crates fall in their path
<Seraphna> Lisa> "They're out. The cybernetics will need repair." *she growls a bit* "I can only carry one."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *pulls back and then taps her comm, keeping her voice low* "Hurry it up. There is a small army inbound."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Boss! Some hulked out fucks busted in, y'all need to get out!
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> Sorry, Cypher... I guess I was not ready after all..
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks around, trying to find something. She opens the back door and spots a hovercar
<SuperKoala> (*Burn stamina for Master Manipulator Lv1)
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyone good at hotwiring?
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Otto, can you jury rig the ride?"
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe keeps tossing boxes at the incoming inbetween barracading
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *makes her way back to the group*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max helps Wolfe out
<SuperKoala> (Otto is away from the group trying to buy them time)
<Chainy> (ear piece?(
<SuperKoala> (Also, master manipulater is better bluffing)
<Seraphna> * Lisa takes a breath and begins working to at least bring the girls out to the car. *comms* "Check the guards for car keys or something."
<DeathStar> 6* The goons pause, peering at each other
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar carries them out
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *grabs a girl when she gets back and takes them to the hovercar*
<SuperKoala> Otto> Our guns didn't do shit, get EVERYONE
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll try hacking the car, but not sure if it will work
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar tries her hacking interface level 2
<kalonZombie> <Max> We should have gotten keys...
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar motions Ylva to call everyone to the car as the last of the women are brought in
<kalonZombie> 6*Max gets in
<Seraphna> * Luci fits the last into the car and peers back.
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe hurries
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> C-Come, over here!
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar cranks kt up and sits behind it, then looks a little blank as she grabs the wheel
<Chainy> <Wolfe> you can drive cant you?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh. By the way, I do not know how to drive team. We always used other modes of transporation these past few months
<DeathStar> 6* She nods at Wolfe
<SuperKoala> Otto> I'm out of here, I'm not getting paid enough! *Otto bolts for the front door
<Seraphna> Luci> "Move over."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shifts into the middle
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *climbs in and buckles up* "Move it."
<Seraphna> * Luci moves to get in and takes the wheel, readying the car to move.
<DeathStar> 6* The hover car lifts up, the radio blarring some porn music
<SuperKoala> Otto> I'll catch up later *Comms in a low voice
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *mumbles about learning, since the team likely knows she's an amnesic*
<Seraphna> * Luci turns off the radio and then moves them out, she drives with the experience of former law enfrocement.
<DeathStar> 6* The car drives off. Asarar grabs her medical drink, giving it to the nymph who is worse off. She begins to look better off.
<DeathStar> (er, to the robot looking girl)
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ylva, heal the nymph
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva nods, taking a deep breath.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Check them for tags and trackers too. We don't want to lead them back to our place."
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva holds up one of her bullets and uses her other hand to channel a Mage Cure upon the Nymph.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back, nodding to herself. "We did it guys. Normally I would have had us take more time but the reason I rushed us was that the ywere going to be moved."
<DeathStar> 6* She feels around the car and declares it clean after a bit
<kalonZombie> <Max> It's fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar points at Luci to land on the club's roof so no one will know they work at the club
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and moves in for a landing.
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "...barring someone gettings smashy."
<DeathStar> 6* As they land, the girls begin to recover, except the other robot looking girl, which Asarar lifts up. "I'll get her another booster drink from my collection."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Max has been fine on other missions. I made mistakes the last week
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It'll take time to gel as a team
<kalonZombie> 6*Max gives Kira Li a look
<Chainy> <Wolfe> Asarar
<Chainy> <Wolfe> shall I dump the car later?
<Seraphna> * Luci looks over the car. "If we repaint it and clean it up, change the registry, we might have a company vehicle on our hands."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Or chop it for some creds."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "At least they didn't die. Also... strip it down and sell it to the local chopshops. USe the coin to buy a clena ride."
<Chainy> <Wolfe> or we could dump it elsewhere, this model is nearly a junker
<kalonZombie> <Max> Stripping it sounds best to me.
<Seraphna> Luci> "No one appreciates the classics."
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe waits on Asarar's choice
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Strip or dump.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You can decide
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe will remember that
<Seraphna> * Luci sniffs a bit, leaving it on so it can be moved.
<Seraphna> * Luci then gets out, mumbling something about kids.
<Nyaomi> <Ylva> I can help with disassembling the car, Cypher.
<DeathStar> 6* She climbs out. "Honestly, I should have hooked up to the terminal and realized what would have reacted that way."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max climbs out and follows Luci "Drink on me?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she sighs, helping carrying the one girl; the other women begin to shakily get up*
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Ok, Max, I'll get you a drink so no hard feelings"
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe tends to the other ladies
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar quietly carries and lays her down to give her a drink; she writes on the board to get them a hover car, something she should have thought of also. She seems quiet since stabbing, having shut down thinking when she did that
<Seraphna> * Luci peers over the women. "If you want to get out of here, let us know and we'll drop yo off somewhere, if you'd rather stay, we have food, work and shelter until you want to leave. You're free otherwise."
<SuperKoala> *Otto wanders back into the club, having assumed his normal human skin
<DeathStar> 6* The Asmos girl looks around, quietly; Barry, the supposed owner of the bar, shows up and nods to Wolfe, talking to them and leading them downstairs, to offer them jobs if they want. He also tells the others their credits are on the table on the top floor
<Chainy> 6*phiggies great the ladies in smoking jackets
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *then moves after Asarar* "So having some issues to work out?"
<Seraphna> * Luci sighs and pulls down her hood, rubbing her head and smiing a bit.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves to Barry and orders himself and Luci something
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks the one girl over, then leaves a note for Barry to retrieve her when the others are settled in. She looks up, typing her mission notes, putting the blame on the incident with the cage on herself. "I've killed before but not like that. I saw red and wanted to kill. It wasn't self-defense or necessity."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "Yeah, total bloodrage back there."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Killing is killing, be an apex predator
<Chainy> <Wolfe> its not always the answer though
<DeathStar> 6* A temp bartender takes Max and Luci's orders, getting them drinks - everyone on the team getting free drinks. Barry helping the girls decide on their future. Their being bars on each of the floors, even the second floor club, while the first floor is more relaxed and enjoying the atmosphere music
<SuperKoala> Otto> It's the easiest usually, why make it hard.
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva takes a break, and after helping her own wounds, sighs, taking off her cap again and reveals her tail.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe. But I didn't like that side of me
<Nyaomi> 6Ylva heads to the bar and takes over serving drinks and food while Barry helps the girls.
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe shrugs
<Seraphna> * Luci orders a Sunspot, her usual drink, citrus juices mixed with rum, looking like the surface of a gas giant.
<Chainy> <Wolfe> you have to live with the consequences of hasty actions
<Seraphna> Luci> "Feels good to take down a few subhumans sometimes."
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> "So anyone want to hit the dancefloor?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises, putting the mission file into the computer for others to read. "Yes." 6* She takes her tie off and moves for her room on the first floor of the top five floors. "Have fun, Kira."
<kalonZombie> <Max> In more ways then one I hope. 6*He grins at Luci
<SuperKoala> Otto> Killing is natural, you know that as well as I do Wolfe.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Slavers deserve to die." *she says simply and flatly, drinking*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max drinks as wel
<Chainy> <Wolfe> except she didnt stab the leader, she stabbed some boy who might have only been working there
<Seraphna> Luci> "He saw the cage, he knew what he was guarding."
<Chainy> <Wolfe> or protecting someone else from
<Jackieness> <Kira Li> *grabs a drink and downs it in one go before heading out to the dancefloor*
<Chainy> <Wolfe> but I dont know the truth any more than you do
<Seraphna> * Luci shakes her head. "There's no gray area here for me."
<kalonZombie> <Max> He was a dumb kid who knew what he was doing. I don't it.
<Chainy> <Wolfe> I know when to go so dont worry, enjoy your night
<kalonZombie> *don't regret
<Chainy> 6*Wolfe moves to get his money and moves to where Barry and the phigglets went
<Seraphna> * Luci nods. "Sleep well."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Let's not try to put morality on something she did in the heat of the moment
<Seraphna> Luci> "Not a matter of morality for me either. Least I think not."
<Seraphna> Luci> "I'll sleep soundly knowing a few less girls are under the hand of some perverted monster who only sees dollar signs over lives."
<Seraphna> * Luci's eyes are a little red, masked rage.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max looks over at her, a bit worried
<DeathStar> -END-
