To house 27!
You turn around and see Travis standing in the doorway, blocking your way out.
Travis didn't even hesitate. He brought up his Crystalline Projector and fired at Ivan
That's for all the civilians you killed, you monster.
He sprinted out of the house and waited for the crystals to take their effect. He brought out his knife in case Ivan followed him.
[con:1+1]
You fire wildly at Ivan and proceed to sprint off in the direction of Building 25. You make it about half way there before everything goes black.
(You're dead)
((If I survive))
"Under fire by Travis! Repeat, Under fire! I think he's the killer!"
As you shout your warning, you notice a crystal growing rapidly on one wall, crystalline tendrils reaching out toward you. You decide it's best to take a step back.
(If Ivan gets his message out)
"No time to find out! Kill him or lock him in a closet, I don't care. Come on, we've gotta help Ivan!"
Run off to find Ivan!
You sprint past jim, down the blood soaked stairs, slipping a bit as you round the corner,and heading out to the street. You stand in the center of the street, looking around for ivan but not seeing him anywhere. Damn, he should have told you where he was. You do see someone run out onto the street near house 25 and then drop to the ground, but you can't tell who they are.
(Remalle's action is also based on that, so I'll also add a back-up action.)
IF IVAN GETS HIS MESSAGE OUT...
Jim abandoned the man to his fate and ran outside to stop Travis with his Psychokinetic Microwave (got confused, sorry >.>) Amp, aiming to melt his weapon.
You follow Mesk out to the street and look around for Ivan or Travis. You see someone go down in the street near house 25, but you have no idea who. Dang it Ivan, more exact information about where you and Travis are at would be nice.
((Leaving for my birthday, but here is my next action.))
The loner may actually be the killer in disguise, and if it isn't him, he is still being controlled. It is time to take action.
"Take down the loner, Steve. Get him in a coma or something."
Swirl and drop to a roof if needed, aim at Travis' weapon arm, fire with the laser rifle with high power and a concentrated beam at medium or long range using the scope (+1) depending on the situation.
((@Orb: No meta here, Milno was watching Travis' movement and got an intuition roll for that.))
You drop from the sky like a lead weight, cutting your engines on at the last moment and coming to a stop atop house 22 in a burst of exhaust, tiles and smoke that hangs around you like a shroud. You take a few steps out, smoke clinging to you as you walk up to the apex of the roof, and take careful aim at the figure that is now actively running toward house 25.
[Con:4+1+1]
You smack your lips and sniff as you line up your shot. Watch the stride of the run. Line up the sights. Breathe out. Steady the shot. Too easy.
You put a solid beam of laser light straight into the back of Travis's head. The man makes it maybe 2 more steps before the beam makes it through and catches him just at the base of the skull and completely severs his spine from the brainstem. The beam continues on and hacks a path across his face as it burns it's way out, carving his jaw almost completely off. Travis goes down like a bag of hammers.
You rest the rifle on your shoulder and step back down to the crater you made as you landed, taking a moment to stamp out a small fire your exhaust started.
Head outside, towards the crossroads.
"Status report, what's going on out here?"
You run outside just in time to see someone drop on the road near building 25. Oh dear.
