Spoiler: Spiderking50 (click to show/hide)

Just about 0. You get the sense that making you wait out here is an attempt to force some kind of bonding - after all, they'd know that you weren't able to speak to each other in the van.

[Trapezohedron]

"Guess we all have time to kill. What did RHCU give us for weapon supplies, I wonder?"

Identify weapon (and armor) loadout.

[ATHATH]

Whistle. Refuse any offered cigarettes.

[GentlemanRaptor]

As you are talking among yourselves, the double doors suddenly burst open and a flustered-looking woman bursts out, long brown hair trailing behind her and folders nearly spilling. She quickly makes it down the steps, panting.

"Oh...you're here. You all better follow me quickly. Normally we have orientation and a little tour, but there's a Tier 2 fucking around in Chinatown and all the other local teams are deployed. Let's walk and talk and I'll fill you in."

She leads you up the staircase and into the building lobby. It looks pretty bog-standard, right up until she looks off at an odd angle for a second and a section of the wall slides away to reveal blast doors.

"Retinal scanning," she pronounces. "Let's keep moving."

Past the blast doors lies a hallway, with doors spaced evenly on either side and a staircase at the end. The woman walks at a brisk pace, motioning to follow her to the stairs.

"We'll have time to get to know each other later. Right now let me fill you in." She fiddles with one of the folders and pulls out a picture. It's of a Caucasian man, with green eyes and blonde hair. "This is Kristoff Schmidt. He's been on our radar for a while, but until now he hasn't done anything really worth our attention. Got priors for shoplifting and possession, but nothing more than that. About fifteen minutes ago, he entered a small grocery just inside of Chinatown. Barricaded himself inside with all the shoppers. Kicker is? He's invisible. That's one of his manifested powers, the others being a bit of telekinesis and some ability for fucking with machines. Only reason we know it's him is because PRISM twigged to a text he sent one of his friends, who should be receiving a 'special visit' right about," she looks at her watch, "now. Anyway, back to the sitrep. Some shoppers have tried to escape, only to find the glass door locked. Several have tried to break windows, but anything they throw is thrown right back. No demands have been made, but we're treating this as a hostage situation. ROE is try to neutralize nonlethally, but if civvies are in danger than take the fucker out. Questions before we get to the armory?"

[Yourmaster]

"What's the biggest gun I can carry that you have?"

[GentlemanRaptor]

"For urban deployments like this, most team members usually have suppressed M4 carbines or MP5s. You're the weapons specialist, right? Let's see...Weapon specialist, here we are. Not sure how much good it'll do you in this situation, but the biggest weapon in terms of caliber you can carry is an XM500 anti-materiel rifle. It's a heavy bastard, too. Stepping down a little, there are a bunch of LMGs lying around. M249, LSAT, PK, take your pick. No high explosive - we're in an urban area, and he's only a Tier 2."

[Trapezohedron]

"Don't think heavy weapons are good in this operation. We don't want to scare the civilians with unnecessary gunfire. By chance, do we have a Remington CSR? I'm never comfortable until I'm sure I can shoot things from a distance."

Reyes asks for the picture, and takes a good long look at it.

"This Schmidt, by chance does he appear on infravision?"

[ATHATH]

"May I have a full-auto paint gun?"

[Yourmaster]

"XM500 Will work. Could take position on a roof and take him down. If that doesn't work, you all could still moves in. Though, it would be doubtful that you would have to do anything if I was able to get ten shots at him with a .50 caliber BMG bullet.

[Twinwolf]

"Invisibility. Could you hit something you can't see?"

[Yourmaster]

"You have as good a chance of taking him down moving in blind."

[Trapezohedron]

"Don't you think Anti-Materiel Rifles are a tad bit too overkill? One shot and it's gonna pierce through the store manager's office, likely killing someone in a misfire. Paint gun's nice; the lack of electronic component's gonna help a lot taking down this asshole."

"Maybe, we should get a full-auto paint-thrower. Spray the place pink, ahah. Oh, and motion detectors too, though the guy's most likely to jam that shit down."

Reyes looks at his cigarette supply, but remembering these cigarettes were 2nd grade crap, he laments.

"If only I had a good smoke. Sigh."

[ATHATH]

"Dogs might help."

[Cheesecake]

"Hey miss, could you give me infrared goggles? It'd help, you know, seeing our target." He takes a look at Schmidt and the current situation. "This guy's in control of what he's doing; at least, he isn't the type who's just got out of bed on fire and runs down the street screaming. Point being, he's less dangerous."

Damien analyzes Schmidt's manifested powers. "This guy's like a poltergeist. Invisibility, floating shit around, causing tech to go haywire." He scratches his chin. "What if we scared this 'ghost'? Scared him into giving up?"

[Trapezohedron]

"I'd like to hear more details about it. What'cha got in mind, D? Yeah, by the way, I'm calling you D."

Reyes approaches Damien, who seems fixated on analyzing Schmidt in one corner of the room.

"Dogs are nice. If we used dogs and then paint guns, well I'm not sure if our canine friends would be able to sniff our target. Guy could also jam electronics, so I suppose infrared vision goggles are his number one target. He doesn't want us to sniff where he doesn't want us to see."
