Eh...shout encouraging words to the rest of the team. Or blow spit bubbles. Either works really.

You blow encouraging spit bubbles.

Steve says bring them if we can, cleanse whatever we can't with fire otherwise. I'm done with the computer, finishing the other packing.

Finish packing, radio Milno and head to lobby when done.

You get everything packed up into a couple of bags and trundle downstairs, waddling under their weight. The sound of sirens can be heard coming from several directions and there is moaning and wailing drifting down from open windows all along the street. Apparently that seizure causing shock wave had more wide spread effects then just your team.

You drag the bags out into the lobby and onto the street beyond, tapping your foot impatiently as you wait for milno.

Milno - Literal Troubleshooter - Second Car

"Damn."

Check how much damage the pipe bombs caused to the gunnerbots and whether we have any more explosives. Shoot up processors as oriented by Steve in case Milno has no idea where they are and make sure they're destroyed. In case we still have explosives and my explosive-setting training applies, use those to help detonating the processors.


D'usse - Ex-Getaway Driver - Second Car

Keep helping Milno.

The pipe bombs did minor damage, they detonated a good distance from them, after all. You spray the mechanical parts with bullets, though it seems not to have much of an effect- the metal must be something pretty advanced. You'll need something with either more force or more capacity to destroy mechanisms.

(you have multiple things which could do it)

[Kriellya]

Skylar glances around the street before quietly reporting to Milno. Boss, I'm done here. Can hear sirens coming in, is someone available to pick me up or do you need to finish there first?

Wait wait wait. Consider public transit options at this hour if nothing else happens.

[renegadelobster]

Um...try and recover a bit? Or just drool in the corner like an idiot if not possible.

[Caellath]

((Posting when I wake up. I should have added a conditional action in case the armor-piercing bullets weren't enough but I supposed they'd be good enough at point-blank.))

Public transport is...well, less then likely.

You're regaining a bit of your strength, enough to sit up in the car and then immediately feel dizzy.

[Caellath]

((It's hard to make decisions in these situations where you might screw things, are pressed for time and on top of that you wish you could see the entire scene to know what and what's not an option.))

Milno - Literal Troubleshooter - Second Car

"Crap." Milno put a couple of stims between his lips just in case he needed them quick and got to work.

Spoiler: Action (click to show/hide)

Which multiple things? Confirmation on explosives/namite from last action. If we do still have some of those and that handy explosive-setting training applies, do set them up to destroy the processors as ordered. Remote activation, preferably, and spend some time carefully preparing to do it if necessary (dynamic in case I need to roll and the +2 to Uncon plus ? from training decide to screw things) to make sure things go smoothly. Some extra non-namite explosives too just to scare the authorities and have them waste time defusing/working on it.

In case the above isn't an option, analyze the situation and check Steve's opinion whether it'd be better to "steal" the gunnerbots or shoot the bots up with the handheld sibilus in the gauntlet then try to dress it up as something else, or even just up and use the gauntlet's powers to mess directly with the processors. Also how intact the bots have to be at the end of the thing since the gauntlet can destroy them to bits in more than one way - gauss shots and technological force crush. Reason: he's the one who knows about the UWM's modus operandi with investigations.

Do as appropriate; in the case the "modify directly with gauntlet fuckery" option seems the winner, check if I can take one of the bots to a spot where I won't be in plain sight of any authorities/arrivals - like the store D'usse crashed into, or an alley - when I start analyzing it, unless the bot is heavier than I OOCly suppose it to be and therefore it'd be a waste of time to do so. Prepare for the analypoking.

How close seem to be the sirens and from which directions are they coming from?

D'usse - Ex-Getaway Driver - Second Car

Fetch Skylar, help Milno if it's the kind of thing that D'usse can provide assistance. Remember to position the car strategically for a quick escape based on the sounds of the sirens and the memorized escape routes.

There are no explosives left.

At this point the theft if already "suspicious" because of everything else that's gone on. Better to just destroy it in anyway possible. Or steal them. Either works really. Though if you steal them we might be able to repair them and put them in the team fund.

Really, anything that makes it so they can't get hold of them is good. I'll let you choose.




D'usse takes the car around and grabs skylar before driving back over to you. The  sirens are getting closer, from the south and the north west. 

[renegadelobster]

((I'd say steal them. Seems the easiest option))

Rest and recover some more

[Kriellya]

(( If they fit in the car, stealing them is definitely the easiest option.

I don't think they'll fit in the car. And somehow I don't think we can inconspicuously tow them XD ))

Check on Thaddeus, see if there's anything I can do for him now that would get him a little more functional.

Help Milno with the bots if requested. Drive the van after they're loaded.

[renegadelobster]

((Eh, put them on top of the two bodies in the trunk. Might not close all the way though))

[Caellath]

Milno - Literal Troubleshooter - Second Car

"Shit."

Steal the gunnerbots. Make sure the van crash scene is clear of any ARM affiliation signs or high-tech before getting into the car to get away from the scene.


D'usse - Possible Getaway Driver - Second Car

Help with the stealing of gunnerbots and quick check of crime scene. Then drive away from the sirens and out of the city - preferably avoiding any troublesome paths and favoring side streets without getting into dead ends - or let Skylar do it in case he's a better driver and just needs some help with the escape route.

Whatever Kri put in that computer, it leaves you with a hell of a hang over.

Thad is fine but can't be helped get around faster. Also,the van is dead. You killed it, remember? Only the car works. So you can steal the bots, but you're piling them into the back of the car.

So, you grab the bots and pile them into the car. It looks quite strange to say the least, like a pile of grayhound corpses stacked on one side of the back seat, with a drunk man leaning against them,  but they should stay in place.

D'usse uses some gas from the fuel tank to set the van on fire,  effectively torching any evidence that might be left. She then crams herself in the back seat with Thad while milno rides shotgun and Skylar drives. They head west, away from the directions the sirens are coming from. They get about two miles from the area around the bank, taking surface streets, before finally getting on the freeway. It's almost completely deserted, and they follow it toward the city outskirts.

[Caellath]

Milno - Literal Troubleshooter - Second Car

"City outskirts, Steve. What about that light I saw earlier?"

Vigilant and paranoid as always.


D'usse - Possible Getaway Driver - Second Car

Vigilant and instructing Skylar on the best routes to avoid any large amount of traffic and get to the wilderness so we can get to that shuttle asap.

[renegadelobster]

Rest, recover and enjoy the ride.

[Kriellya]

Keep driving until suitably located for pickup.
