((I'm around, and I agree with fast-forwarding to the important parts.

Or, failing that, make sure to at least repost the map at the end of each turn, to save us the trouble of searching for it every time.))

"So," Turgidly-Ululate says. He finds that it doesn't sound emphasized enough.

"So," he repeats with more inflection. He supposes he can go into that lab or something, yeah.

Carefully proceed into lab. Look about for anything important-looking.

Post to watch/wait?

((Hello! Please submit a character to gain a spot on the waitlist, and send it to me via PM, if you would be so kind.))

((As for everyone else... ENGAGE WARPTIME!))

...

Armoth stood his station valiantly, and the guards did not suspect a thing. Does he stay at the station, or join back with the group?

The main group moves on, finding little of value on the main floor labs. They avoid the guards, and find their way to lab B-3, where your target, Foren, is located, along with two other scientists. Or rather, just outside B-3. The door to the room labelled GEN is just opposite the door to the lab, though there probably isn't much to see in there. How do you proceed?

" Ughhh fine 50 it is. "

Go place a bet with every person taking bets, put it on myself. Place the maximum bet with each one until I run out of people to place them with or I've bet 1000.

Then go to my fight, for the fight do my best to look scared of him so he attacks me then put my knee into his gut as hard as I can to put him down then keep kicking until he stays down.

You wager a total of 320c before they call your name. You project your total winnings, including your stakes, to be 840. That is, if you win.

You enter the ring, much to the joy of the crowd, who whistle and holler at you in a disrespectful fashion. Major himself seems unimpressed with you, but he takes no chances. He equips himself with a pair of brass knuckles and assumes an unfamiliar fighting stance.

You initiate your bluff, feigning fear... He takes the bait! He comes in strong, attempting to punch you in the face. His fist flies over your head as you duck down to avoid the blow. A clear opening awaits as you attempt to come back up and knee him in the gut. Your blow connects with such ferocity that your opponent is forced backwards, but he saves himself from falling.

Now without his hat, the man strikes at you once more, but this time more cautiously. His fist finds its way to your shoulder as you dance around him. It was a glancing blow, at best. You're now on his left, his exposed side.

[Dwarmin]

Flit nods, and makes a motion with her hand-indicating she'll take the North Door, and they all charge in at once.

Action: Flit sneaks around to the North Entrance so she can cut off any avenue of escape. Then she charges in with the rest! Don't engage in melee, though, just use my shotgun as a motivator. Try not to shoot anyone.

[Alexandria]

Aim low to take his legs off the ground or break his knee. Once he's down take my foot to his face. Hard.

[Hapah]

Maintain position at Desk.

[Harry Baldman]

"Right then! Each of us covers a particular entrance, yes? One of us should go and take the west hallway, eh?"

Take up position at south entrance, cautiously look into the lab. Anything particularly interesting in there, aside from presumably our target?

Hawk and Lokk take position at the west entrances, and you four are set to enter...

You can't see into the room without opening the door fully, since it's electronically controlled. So you decide it's best to charge in and ask questions later.

The four of you enter simultaneously, drawing weapons and keeping your eyes peeled. The lab you enter is full of large tanks covered with warning labels and numbers, as well as several empty basins in the floor. Two scientists stand near the centre of the room with PDAs, looking at a terminal. When the group activates the doors, the two scientists look up. One of them, the vesuan, drops his PDA in fear and looks around. The other one, the hintling woman, seems less surprised.

"I should have known. These tanks are extremely reliable, only a saboteur could cause a leak like this..." She puts her PDA on the table and puts her hands in the air. The vesuan quickly raises his hands as well, shaking. "We won't resist, no need for guns." The woman seems completely unafraid.

"Alright both of you, lie face down on the ground unless you want this to get bloody.  If either of you set off an alarm or call for help, I will personally gut right here.  Understood?"

Make sure they comply, while keeping my eyes on the other doors into the room.

[Dwarmin]

"Let's secure them and get outta here." Flit says, looking about. Then she moved around, to clear the way out. No surprises.

Action: Secure out exit path for extraction of the HVT

[Harry Baldman]

"Let's get our business in order, then!"

Help securing these people, particularly our lady-friend. Wonder if there's actually an extraction path that we can take these people on.

[Silcugar]

Maintain position at Desk.

Not much is going on right now at the front desk, I'm afraid. But maybe that's a good sign?

Aim low to take his legs off the ground or break his knee. Once he's down take my foot to his face. Hard.

You kick him in the side of his knee, forcing him to the ground without much issue. Then, with him in a vulnerable position, you spin around and kick him in the face, sending several teeth flying. Major falls to the ground, defeated.

The crowd waits a beat in disbelief before cheering for you. "Red! Red! Red!" they chant. You exit the arena and collect your winnings for that round, 840c. The clerk informs you that you earned a 50c bonus for fighting without a weapon, to be payed at the end of the tourney. There are 15 more rounds of fighting before you're up again, would you like to watch the matches?

Make sure they comply, while keeping my eyes on the other doors into the room.

"Very well," she says. The two scientists slowly drop to the floor in compliance. Party willing, you secure the hostages with the zip ties you got from Armoth. No alarm has gone off, you're still ghost.

((Don't forget, you all still need to get to the mainframe and get the data.))

[Alexandria]

Watch the matches and remember the fighting styles of the winners so I know who I'm up against in my next fight. Once next fight is announced to the rounds again placing the max bet allowed on myself with as many people as possible.

(( If you just begin the fight to save time. ))

Charge the moment the fight begins aiming for the weak side of whatever fighter I'm against. Aim for the gut and knees to put them on the ground again.

[scapheap]

I'll search for the mainframe(check a map(computer) to help find it?)

[Harry Baldman]

"Right! I suppose you all can be trusted to see this matter through, so I'll be moving on then, eh?"

Move on, eh. Help Hawk with the whole finding the mainframe thing, avoid Dread Mothers.

You recall the map seen before...

Spoiler: The floor below you (click to show/hide)

But there's a S card locked door keeping you from the mainframe. Asking the prisoners, Floren speaks up. "I have an S class card. No doubt you'll be needing if if you intend to steal the blade." The vesuan keeps quiet. Do you head to the bottom floor of the facility?

Meanwhile, up on the first floor...

Armoth would see a little red light start flashing on his terminal. ALERT: A-CLASS CARD SOUNDING ALERT... SECURITY BREACH CLASS 3, ALL SECURITY PERSONNEL TO SECURITY STATION LAB B3! and a second warning, Insufficient security personnel on staff. Please call mercenaries to action. And finally, a third pop-up, Automated general distress call in progress... Cancel? Y/N

Charge the moment the fight begins aiming for the weak side of whatever fighter I'm against. Aim for the gut and knees to put them on the ground again.

The clerk tells you you'll be up against a man named Mitt. From afar, you spot your adversary. He doesn't look as strong as Major, but still stronger than the average man. Mitt looks out of place in the Depths. Clean shaven and without any scars, wearing common street clothes. He distances himself from the others, with a smug grin on his face.

The fight right after yours pits Mitt against some street scum. Mitt dances around his opponent with masterful agility as the scum tries to bash him with a hammer. After a few minutes of this, Mitt's opponent tires himself out, becoming easy prey. Much like you, Mitt walks away without a scratch.

The odds are more equal this time around, you find. People now fully understand how dangerous you are, and as such the odds are pretty close. About half of the bet takers place you on the winning side, while the others favour your opponent. The most favourable odds place you at 5:2 on while the worst odds put you at 3:1. You place your bets even with the favourable odds, totaling 530c total put up. You calculate your total winnings, including stakes, to be 980c.

You enter and begin your attack, vying not to take a weapon. You think his left side is weaker, so you run to his side, attempting to punch him in the gut. Unfortunately, your punch flies to the side of your target as he jumps away from you. Mitt doesn't counter-attack. Instead, he keeps his fists up and locks eyes with you. There's a calmness in his eyes that only comes with formal training.
