Happy Halloween. One hundred and twenty-two is the count of our turns.Agent Fortmüller fires his tranq gun, [
3+1] [
1+1-1] putting one more foe to sleep before a dart sticks in the barrel. [
4] He works out his frustration with an open-handed strike to the head of the last one, who's out cold instantly.
Agent Green looks down at the men on the ground, and at the others across the street. "Uh, put down your weapons!" The unconscious ones don't comply, and the ones on the other end of the street just ignore him.
Agent Reon finds cover across from Desmond and Nicholas from the non-existent gunfire from the other end of the street. [
hidden search check] She realizes as the watches the gunmen that they've lost interest and are simply chatting amongst themselves, weapons still drawn but held at their sides, not even looking in the team's direction.
Agent Maxwell rifles through the equipment of the nearest guard, [
hidden search check] finding a standard H&K USP, a small radio receiver in his ear, and a small, black plastic card.
Agent Conners waits to make sure nobody's coming before moving on. She climbs out of the back window and circles around to scope out the situation. Her teammates are finishing off the opposition on the other end of the street; on this end, a few of the armed men are simply loafing about, pistols still drawn but making no move to shoot across at her teammates. If they've noticed her, they make no sign.
A massive eighteen-wheeler rumbles up, crashing through and destroying an electrified fence as Lisa and the gunmen scatter, and stopping in the middle of the street. The side of the truck opens and six brightly-coloured powered armour suits pile out, taking positions around the truck, around and on top of the houses, and in one case in the air, heavy weapons trained on the team, mostly on Nicholas. A speaker built into the cab of the truck squeals and a tinny voice comes through.
"Attention Mr. Wall, Mr. Fighter, Ms. Arrow, Spectral Command has authorized the use of lethal force on your persons. Stand down immediately or we will open fire."
The men in black finally snap to attention and rush up to support their armoured allies, one breaking off to watch Lisa.
"Stand down!"
