I go to the jeep, obviously there must be some encryption hidden within the verses and beats.

Ninja-Die Antwoord: Claiming as my theme song
Theme song get.

You go over by the jeep and listen to the song. Frankly, unless the hidden encryption has to do with fucking ho's and wasting fools, you're not really sensing any encryption in there.

The guy on the driver's side notices you standing near their jeep and yells at you.
"Hey, Kaffer! The fuck you looking at?!"
He's interrupted by his friend in the passengers side, who shows him a text on his phone. He curses and takes off, driving off towards the gate next to landing strip.

Meanwhile, inside
try and implant myself into the security robot and take control of it
[2] You succesfully take over the security bot. It resembles a steel trashcan, with three wheel on the underside and two stubby arms. It has a camera at the front. The little arms have grasping claws and can shoot out electirc stun arcs.

As the little security bot activates, the hoodie punk takes out his cellphone. He shows a message to his two friends, and they all head out of the door onto the landing strip.

"That's our shipment, isn't it? ... I don't like how those three suddenly started whispering among themselves."

"Its not like I took up the entire plane. Other shipments are coming in too, you know. Your too paranoid, lets get some fresh air to calm your nerves. Maybe a smoke."

Ken watches the suspicious people leaving, following them out after a short time.

"The plane is landing soon anyway, and the mental patient on the intercom is starting to grate on my ears. No reason to stick around here anymore."

Ken then looks for the hoodlums, scanning the area with his augmented eyes.

I know these people are up to something fishy-they wouldn't even be in the country if they weren't-but my profits are where I draw the line. I might as well see what is going on.

Track the suspicious guys from a distance, to see what they are up to.

"Being paranoid is my job, isn't it?"

Ryker follows after Ken and takes out a rather crumpled pack of cigarettes out of his back pocket once they're outside. He then lights up a smoke and holds out the pack towards Ken with an asking look on his face.

"There! Gotcha."

Sharp, after finishing his multi-turn pinpointing of the location of the guy who is trying to spy on/sabotage us, walks there while remotely turning off the intercom. He then shoots ATH twice in the back of the head with a silenced pistol. This guy's seen and heard too much.

What? You expect me to just leave alone a guy who's been listening in on our conversation about our illegal activities and is actively trying to expose us?

((That's, uh, not how it's gonna work. For one, you don't have a gun. Secondly, ATH doesn't have a head. Thirdly, I'm not sure your characters actually know eachother, you'll have to ask Stirk.

I also still need you to change your augmentation aspect to something else, as I said in the OOC thread.))

((All right, I'm not going to make a habit out of this, but I'm ignoring ATHATH's action for now due to some kinks that still need to be worked out in his character sheet, also the fact that he doesn't have a gun yet. That said, a plane full of guns is about to land. Try to work it out between yourselves wether or not other players are part of your crew already.))

Follow happily yelling heroic catchphrases and gloating.
You start rolling after the three, yelling catchphrases in the annoyingly childish and high pitched voice these security drones tend to have.
"Stop right there criminal scum! Justice will prevail!"
The metal armed thug turns around with a scowl on his face and steps towards you. He gives you a kick and you fall over, rolling helplessly on your side.
"Justice will not be stopped this easily, cretin!"

Track the suspicious guys from a distance, to see what they are up to.
follows after Ken
You watch the three stand near the landing strip, looking at the horizon. Soon, a small cargo plane begins to descend towards the strip. The hoodied thug takes out a pair of claw hammers from underneath his hoodie, holding them behind his back. The white member takes out a small caliber pistol. The metal armed thug kicks over a little security bot, and then goes to stand near his companions. The three of them seem to talking to eachother, but you can't hear what they are saying over this distance. The plane is now clearly visible and will land any minute.

((We probably know each other, I'm fine with that. Though we weren't talking blatantlly about anything illegal and killing someone randomly-especially a PC- is really unnecessary all things considered. Even if we wanted to kill him, we probably wouldn't leave it to the hacker  :-\.))

"These guys are subtle, aren't they? Real air of professionals about them."

Lets see, three of them, only one competently armed. Maybe another one in a getaway truck, if that. I doubt they have any connections at all to the local leadership, they seem to be the kind of guys who could vanish without anyone caring. Such a clumsy robbery attempt, could they have heard of the shipment?

"Well I've seen enough. Do what you want with them. Try not to get too bloody if you don't have to, nobody likes outsiders making corpses in their territory. Just walking behind them and screaming would probably send them scattering."

Wait, ATH's an AI? I didn't really pay attention to the other character sheets.

I thought that we had agreed that my second skill would be Hardware/Engineering.

Just lock ATH out of everything, then. I don't want to deal with him right now.

"Ah, just what I was waiting to hear. I was hoping to be able to take those augments..."

If the rest of the team also decides to attack, sneak up behind the leader, put him in a chokehold, and violently squeeze his neck to kill him.

"Got it."

With that, Ryker approaches the three thugs and trains his Mateba on the head of the most leader-looking one of them.

"How about you folks stop yourselves from doing something stupid and go home. I wouldn't want to be forced to put you in a hospital. Or a morgue."

In case they get hostile - shoot the one with the pistol in the arm. Afterwards they will probably calm down or try to rush me.

If it's the augumented big guy that rushes me - kneecap him and punch out the other guy.

If it's the other guy that rushes me first - counter his attack and take him as a shield/hostage. Tell the big guy to stand down or face consequences (in the form of his shanking the guy I grabbed and/or getting himself kneecapped).

If both rush me at the same time - welp, both of you are getting kneecapped.

Anyone tries to go for the gun - yer getting shot in your arm.

If the leader is dead by the time I get close enough to choke him, choke another one of the thugs.

((A disembodied ghost, not an actual AI. In practise the difference isn't all that big, but I do feel like it's an important one.

I must have missed/forgotten the engineering thing, sorry))

Using your braincase's wireless connection, you attempt to block the security bot out of everything. [vs] In no time your vision starts flashing with warning signs and the guard bot's defensive barriers begin counterattacking. You terminate the connection quickly enough that the worst effect of the counterattack is just some mild blurring of your vision, which goes away after a few seconds. Odd, those security rustbuckets usually take much longer to detect an infiltration.
 
You wait for your teammates to make the first move...
Get up and follow casually.
You try to get back up. [-1] But your stubby little arms can't push hard enough to turn the robot back up again. You clang around and make a lot of noise, but all you manage to do is turn yourself over so that you see what's going on with the people on the airstrip.
"Got it."

With that, Ryker approaches the three thugs and trains his Mateba on the head of the most leader-looking one of them.

"How about you folks stop yourselves from doing something stupid and go home. I wouldn't want to be forced to put you in a hospital. Or a morgue."

Anyone tries to go for the gun - yer getting shot in your arm.

You approach the three guys, and they're clearly startled. The leader turns around and points his gun at you. [2] Before he can do much of anything you squeeze the trigger and the mateba kicks back with satisfying recoil. The .44 round hits the guy in the shoulder and the gun gets flung from his hand. He falls on the ground with pieces of his shoulder falling around him. The guy with the hoodie drops his claw hammers and starts backing off, clearly feeling that this shit isn't worth it anymore.

The big guys with the cyborg arm, on the other hand, starts bum rushing you. His arm opens up and a large machete like blade flips out. [3] You wait for the perfect moment and kneecap him as he's mid stride. The round shatters his knee and he goes flopping to the ground, his blade somehow getting underneath him and cutting him up even worse. He's out of the fight for sure.

As the two guys lie on the ground, the fight seems over. Somehow, Sharp (ATHATH) has managed to sneak his behind the guy formerly holding the claw hammers and is now holding him in a chokehold.

By now the plane has landed, and the pilot is looking at what has happened here with wide eyes.
