I was just about to go to bed when I noticed Tiruin's reply, so forgive me if anything is off about Turn Six.Things were chaotic with the usual last-minute preparations and positioning.
The warehouse where the mob boss was holed up took up a good portion of a block. The south side was where the only entrances were located, a regular-sized door and a rather thick truck-sized steel one. Both these doors opened onto a parking lot, which was filled with police vehicles and police men. The people door was surrounded by a pair of door breachers, a small robot, Thomas Jackson, and Jennifer Maxwell. The team's radio link crackled.
"Sonic and Blue are ready to go."
"Sonic and Blue? Seriously?"
"Don't even start with this."
Further to the south was a small building where a small team of snipers, including Nicholas Fortmüller, had taken up positions on the roof.
"Fire Fighter is good."
"And what kind of a code name is-"
"Seriously, knock it off."
A demolitions squad positioned themselves by the west wall, ready to blast open an entrance. Desmond Green, Ires Reon, and John Wash were getting ready to enter the breach.
"Red, Green, and Lash are in position."
"Entering in three... two... one..."
In a well-practiced maneuver, one of the door breachers shot open the lock and the other tossed in a flashbang.
Agent Jackson altered his perception of time, slowing the rest of the world down four times, as soon as the flashbang detonated. He knew he had about eleven and a quarter minutes from his perspective in this state. Running in while the thugs inside were blinded, he relayed tactical information over the radio link to the others as he searched for the switch.
"
Iswifemauuythmesi!"
"Uh... what?"
[
4] He found and flipped the switch with no problems and before anyone had recovered enough to start shooting at him. Slowly, loudly, the steel vehicle door began to open, and the SWAT armour and sniper squads readied themselves.
Meanwhile,
Agent Fortmüller's robot had snuck in unnoticed and began to assess the situation. A readout appeared on everyone's heads-up views.
Seven hostiles detected within ten meters. Two suits of powered armour. Three machine guns. Two shotguns. Magnetic field source detected underneath the floor.[
1] Unfortunately, this as far as the brave robot got before somebody recovered enough to see it and shoot it up. The robot was destroyed.
At about the same time as the robot,
Agent Maxwell entered, took to the shadows, and turned invisible. [
5] Nobody saw nor heard anything.
The two powered armour suits, three thugs with machine guns, and two thugs with shotguns had all recovered enough to see. Unfortunately for them, there was no longer anything to see.
At the same time the front door was breached a man-sized hole had been blown out of the west wall.
Agent Green led the charge, shielding everybody behind him with his shield and his own body.
"I see a suit of powered armour and three guys with machine guns. They're still stunned from the explosion."
He charged at the powered armour and [
3+1] knocked it down with a blast of kinetic energy.
Agent Reon was behind him, arrow nocked, Agent Wash at her side. Seeing a thug starting to take aim at Desmond, she [
2+1] fired at him, cutting his face with a graze and distracting him.
"Good job, Green."
Agent Wash followed her lead and disarmed the next man to try and take aim at Desmond with a well-aimed whip.
The SWAT armour squad that was supposed to back them up were too bulky to get through the hole, and the demo squad went back to work enlarging it.
One of the thugs with a machine gun recovered enough from his surprise to fire at Desmond, who simply robbed the bullets of their energy as they hit him. Some of the bullets bounced away and fell to the ground, others stuck in his clothing.
"Oh, shit! Everybody! We've got
supers!"
