((@Zako: What's currently available isn't the total extent of what will be. I was planning on adding more things periodically, along with suggestions that I can balance properly.))
____
Smitty checks over his equipment in preparation. His flak jacket is fastened securely, his pistol is holstered, and his climbing line is looped diagonally from shoulder to hip. He checks over his PCA again.
[5]
The tablet computer is operating perfectly. It is roughly the size of a paperback novel, though much thinner. It has enough processing power and memory to house a semi-intelligent AI, the "assistant" part of the name. Smitty pulls up an exterior map of the block.
There are two main buildings, as well as a warehouse. The larger of the two offices is situated on the north-west corner of the block and is connected to the smaller office near the center of the compound with an elevated walkway. A large warehouse occupies the east side of the block. The south-west corner contains the gas station. A parking lot covers part of the northern side of the block. The space between the central office and the warehouse is filled with shipping crates and flatbed trucks.____
Joseph checks his PCA for locations of the hostages.
[5]
Apparently they are being held in several locations:
The third floor of the north-west building.
The second floor of the central building.
The foreman's office in the warehouse.____
John jumps out of the van. He tries to remember how to use his PCA as he sneaks into the complex.
[1]
Too busy being puzzled by a simple computer, he walks straight into a chain-link fence. It rattles quite loudly.
____
Edgar checks his PCA for the location(s) of the hostages and floor plans.
[4]; [2]
He finds the same information as Joseph.
Apparently they are being held in several locations:
The third floor of the north-west building.
The second floor of the central building.
The foreman's office in the warehouse.However, when he searches for floor plans for the buildings, the search is blocked, stating that he doesn't have clearance for that.
____
Sasha gets out of the van and tries to load her UZI. She remembers that she bought an AK-47 ((Check your own charsheet, TCM, geez.
)). She decides to remove the full magazine, check it, and slide it back into place.
[1]
She accidentally fires off a round, which ricochets from the asphalt and off into the night.
A quick check of her PCA reveals that [3] there are in fact terrorists of some sort in the buildings.
____
G.E. checks his munitions while searching his PCA for a way onto a rooftop.
[3]; [5]
He isn't sure how heavy the magazine in his Beretta is, and he thinks that he has some grenades. His PCA isn't very helpful, but using his Mark One eyeballs, he can make out a drainpipe leading up the side of the central office building. It looks large enough to support the weight of a human being.
____
Snake starts crouch-walking towards the buildings.
[6]
He crouchwalks so well that he makes it over the chain-link fence and the razor wire at the top before he even notices that it's there. He is currently standing in a small, grassy area with a few benches. Likely a lunch area for employees. The rest of the team is a decent distance back. A four level office building in the middle of the block is the closest to him, currently, about 25 meters away.
____
[2]
Nobody but the team hears John walk into the fence.
[5]
Unfortunately, a whole lot of people hear Sasha's misfire. Panicked shouts rise from the complex as someone peels out from the gas station. What lights
were on in the office buildings and warehouse are quickly switched off.
[4]
You can hear tinkling glass, likely terrorists smashing windows to fire from them. Several figures in balaclavas patrol the roof of the north-west building, watching the ground within the compound warily, hefting automatic weapons.
((S'what happens when you group your flavor with your actions. Incidentally, I think I'll modify the rules a bit to make a single check of the PCA per turn into a free action. Just simple stuff, though.
))
