Turn 6!!!!!: Time for a visit to Man-Hunter HQ. Need some cars though...
The totaled bar is one shop front of a row of New York style store fronts. The second stories of these buildings each have a couple of street facing windows, they must be the living quarters of the people who run the shops.
Opposite the bar there is the back of another storefront and a chain-link fenced lot. It’s mostly empty with a collection of trash and trash bins in the far corner. Is that a body? It seems there is a body in the stuffed into a trash bin. That is really not that uncommon in L.A.
A few cars parked nearby have been totaled by the goons chasing Andrew earlier.
Nearby is
Ivory Arms: weapons and printing!
Andrew Merald (Dustan Hache)
(6. I’m not even surprised anymore) “Oh.” The goon looks surprised. I guess he figured he’d be stabbed in the face about now.
“Of course. You know after today-“ He pauses as he navigates the pools of blood, broken skulls and the spilled brains and entrails of his comrades. “-I think I’m gonna quit my job with Man-Hunter.”
You lead him to a table with two chairs in the north western area of the bar which saw the least action. “It just doesn’t seem to agree with me. Ya know?” He produces a cigarette and lights it adding to the bar room’s smog. “I feel like all I got during my time at Man-Hunter’s is a bunch of regrets. You know what that’s like?”
“Anyways… I’ll tell you what I know about the job we got to hit you guys up. It’s not much, but I suppose it’s something.”
He proceeds to explain what he remembers. It seems that they this attack was planned about a week in advance. The AA-12s and a special drug were actually purchased for the operation by the client. Records about the client and transaction should exist at Man-Hunter’s HQ building in down town L.A.
You'll need an address and cars to pay this Man-Hunter company a visit.

(6) You gather up around 5 of the finest condition AA-12s. You notice Eiki behind you gathering up AA-12s as well. You take the arms full of AA-12s to Ivory Arms across the street.
A friendly electronic ring goes off when you enter the store. “Hello, I figured you’d show up when I started to hear the gunshots. The winners always try to sell off the losers guns.”
The store walls are covered in weapons of all kinds; katanas, swords, axes, firearms ranging from 21st
century to early 20th century. Behind the counter there is an array of weapons from the current era; a phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range, a few assorted rail rifles and a couple of laser rifles. There is also a K11 assault rifle (it has a built in bullpup 20mm grenade launcher!)
Weapons that you don't find you could ask to be printed. This is a lot more expensive though then purchasing an gun laying around in the shop.
You also notice a peculiar sign. It reads: “This shop is insured and maintained by Garrio Luvinski.”
The worker is a punkish looking man in his late twenties. He’s covered in tattoos, wears an armless black vest and has his hair up in a Mohawk. He seems pretty chill.
“Not a bad catch. AA-12s...” You hand them over the counter. He inspects the AA-12s, lifting them up, pulling back the charging handle and inspecting the chamber.
“Someone must have really wanted you dead,” He offers you a decent price for the weapons you sold him.
“Hey. I like the loadout buddy. You’re not the only nostalgic in this town. Here take these; they’re replicas that haven’t sold.” He hands you a Walther P38, a S84/98 III bayonet in a scabbar and some extra mags for the P38.
P38 and ammo obtained!
German WW2 bayonet obtained!
Money from weapon sales obtained!

(5) You manage to find a couple more intact AA-12s. Most of the AA-12s have actually been destroyed in the fight, their polymer frames shattered by gun fire. You take them to the gun shop. “Hello.” The worker says as you enter. (Read Leocks post for details about the Ivory Arms store)
You meet Leock in the store and sell the AA-12s to the punk worker for a decent price. During the transaction you tell him about your misfortunes with your launcher.
He starts to break up laughing. “You had white phosphorus loaded? Poor girl Ha ha ha. Well, tell you what. You bring that old exploded tube by and I’ll restore it for you with the printer in the back. You’ll have to pay for the printed ammo replacements though.”
You make another trip bringing back the destroyed launcher. He disappears in the back for some times, later reemerging with a reprinted storage cylinder/rocket launcher and ammo.
Launcher rebuilt! Ammo restored! Extra money from weapon sale!

Recenser Bonum (Midnight Jaguar)
(6) You reenter Restoration mode. Your body heats up! The beat of your heart shakes your very flesh!
You wake up. You cannibalized a single corpse to secure the materials need for your restoration/bear arms. You left it in a rather grisly (Ha ha bears get it?) condition with out a nose, cheeks or lips and with a missing forearm and some muscle torn off here and there.
Ahh that feels much better! You start to collect AA-12s. One problem... Leock and Eiki already cleaned them up!
No problem though, you gather up the spare drum mags and 12g ammo. Then you make the trip across the street. (Read Leocks roll for details about Ivory Arms)
The man at the counter looks very pleased to see your haul. He has all of these AA-12s with no extra AA-12 mags! You use this advantage to drive up the price. He doesn't seem to mind considering he just works here.
You also sell the mix of slug and buckshot 12g ammo you collected. You get a fair price for them. In a city like L.A. 12g ammo is always in demand!
You're loaded! Money obtained!

((You took a while to respond! Or maybe I just update a lot! No worries though, I know what it is like to be busy/not stare attentively at Bay12 Fourms RtD section.
On non-combat turns you'll be allowed to retroactively take an action which I'll sub in and roll for.
On combat turns/high-stakes turns I'll generally wait longer for responses. If you still do not respond your reflex type will be used to generate an action for you. This goes for all players.))
