Wake up
[end: 5]
"Ughhhh" you regain consciousness and sit up.
Milno watches the whole affair only getting to the obvious conclusion either the killer is subtly influencing the doctor's pet into shocking his teammates or he is just really that stupid.
"The loner went aggressive and was taken down."
After answering any of his teammates' doubts about Travis' fate, Milno changed his comms to relay his voice to both teams.
"There are civilians outside the houses seventeen to twenty, and I really doubt they want to shake our hands and congratulate us for our good work. Both teams should stay close to each other in case any of us need help."
Check fuel, keep flying erratically and once more try to figure out where the killer is. Obviously it wasn't the loner. After failing spetacularly or succeeding, keep an eye on the civilians.
70% fuel left.
[int:5] Well, the killer is using the people already in the houses to kill each other so that he doesn't have to go around and do it himself. That means he's probably camped out somewhere, not moving. The civilians seem to kind just be standing around outside the 21st building, not moving.
(( Eh, I feel obligated to point out that Maurice is, in fact, male. And have always been. And have always been straight.
Wait. Have Maurice's gender been changed at some point? 
Oh, and could I have had a willpower roll to resist the hysteria? Or was it a concealed 1?
Still, that's not the worst way to administer first aid to an electroshocked person. I might have opted for internal cardiac massage (believing Renen's heart to have stopped), considering I had the right equipment for that sort of aid 
))
EDIT: (( Oh, I endured the electroshock. Well, that explains everything. Except for the gender change. ))
Supress the hysterics. Administer aid to Renen, this time do something more intelligent.
(Ah, alright, I think I was conflating him with Pyro's new character. You two are eternally linked in my head)
You're about to check on Renen when he sits up and grumbles. Huh, guess he's alright.
"Steve, I was wondering, just where do you find people that are this incompetent? This is the first time I've ever seen anyone repeatedly fail to touch a house.
Anyway guys, I'm going to go check on those civilians over there. Milno, keep an eye on things in case one of them is our killer."
Walk over to the civilians, say the following
"Excuse me, but we're currently investigating reports of a serial killer here. I would highly recommend that you go back into your houses, hide, and start praying to your deity of choice, as being near the rest of my squad is extremely dangerous.
The civilians say anything but proceed to slowly move and form a circle around you. They stare at you blankly.
Jim figured Mesk could doctor himself - that was his profession, anyway - and went in to check the house.
You walk into the home. The front room is empty, as is the kitchen beyond it, but there's another door that looks like it leads farther into the house so you go to have a look. You jiggle the handle. It's unlocked. [Intuition:4] You stop before you open the door. Something feels...wrong here.
Pop a painkiller and set the toes as best I can as I follow Jim.
[Med:1+1]
You get out a pain killer and pelt your foot with it, plinking the pill off your boot and onto the ground. This has negligible effects.
"STOP MOCKING ME!" You scream at your broken foot, trying and failing to work out how you could strangle it.
DOOR RAEG DOORS DIE NOW. Kill door.
[Str:2] You manage to yank your arm out of the wall, dragging a 2x4 with it, and try again to smash down the door. However the large surface area that the 2x4 makes your blow completely ineffectual.
"Oh now this is just getting stupid."
((Doors. The bane of the existence of this team.))
"...D'oh. Still learning this dope suit. Lemme try again."
Burn down the house with less fail this time.
((Be thankful I didn't use the rocket slug launcher- pretty sure I have a -1 to it.))
[uncon:5]
You finally manage to press your hand against the house and pump electricity into the wall till it ignites. Fucking finally.
