Turn:11 Welcome to Man-Hunter HQ.
Since the start of the game it has been around 3 hours. It is around 3 am.
After a noisy, painful but highly amusing (to one of you) car ride you almost reach Man-Hunter HQ
The two cars speed downtown towards Man-Hunter HQ, Anthony's 2016 Chevy leads the way. The front two seats are actually relatively comfortable the spilled trash adds a nice layer of cushion between you and uncomfortably worn down seats. The goon truck is a bit more comfortable in terms of seating but the wedged-off door allows the cold night air to blast into the passenger compartment.
Almost there!
It seems Man-Hunter HQ is built into some kind of old military facility at the borders of downtown L.A. The premise is walled off with walls twice as high as a man and topped with barbed wire. The buildings are multistoried and square from birds eye view. The front gate is open which makes sense because it is visited by potential clients; however there seems to be some strange metal str-
That's a spike strip! And the Chevy ran right over it!
Were they expecting you? Even so why this kind of treatment?! Man-Hunter gets paid to send out hit teams, not complete contracts. In fact it's part of there business model to service those that seek revenge after surviving a hit even if it was a Man-Hunter hit!
The goon truck driven by Andrew swerves avoiding the spike strip; however, it does not enter the Man-Hunter compound with the Chevy. Instead it pulls around the compound.
The Chevy is caught! The heavy metal doors of the compound start to close behind you (Eiki, Anthony, Sanct and Recenser) Anthony switches to reverse and stomps on the gas! No luck the car doesn't not respond in a controllable manner with it's tires spiked! An alarm sounds! It seems they expected you yet had no idea when you would come! The Man-Hunter security team must be deploying now!
The front Man-Hunter compound features a parking lot to the west (You are on the northern end of the compound) full of various automobiles all painted black. Some have tripods but no weapons mounted. You know they have armored vehicles but those are not among these.
To the east there is visitor parking it's empty with the exception of one purple sports car. Anthony parks nicely in a parking spot the best he can while the rest of you tumble out of the Chevy guns at the ready crouched low.
Strait south (ahead of you guys) is the building. It has windows but it has another wall with barbed wire this one is only slightly higher than an average person.
Fuck there's no cover whatsoever.
Out of the southwest corner you see Man-Hunter security troops, they have black fully armored (21st century tactical gear)!

Anthony Brake (inaluct)
(5) You walk over to the three surrendered troops, you have a visible hobble to your walk but you have impressive speed and balance despite it. They look pretty happy to not be dead but they seem rather worried.
"Hello! Sorry about the whole- well- shooting you up deal." One starts.
"Yeah, it's just our job!" One chimes in. The one who spoke up first flashes an angry look at the second trooper. The trooper shies a bit. "uh, was our job I mean.... just our job..."
The one who spoke first catches the back of the head. "Um," he starts with a swallow, "You guys qualify for the Man-Hunter special Revenge deal!" He says with pitiable presentation.
Ignoring his marketing pitch you lay it out for him, issuing your demands in full.
1. Open the gate, or tell me how to open the gate.
2. I want to know who this suspicious vehicle belongs to.
3. I want to know everything they know about who put out this hit on us.
4. I want all of the food that is readily accessible. Boxes of MREs, packets of M&Ms that someone put in their plate carrier, all of it.
5. I want all Manhunter ID cards that they have on them.
6. I want to know how to get into the main building. Tell me security measures.
7. I want all of them to quit their jobs and get out of here.
One of the guard immediately runs off into the HQ building. Shortly afterward the gate opens.
"That car? I don't know."
"Um... We can't just disclose our client infor-" Recenser steps in, M16 pointed at the trooper. "-Um I'll see what I can do."
The trooper's hand over their ID cards.
"Um, the buildings main entrance is right there!" The guard points. Recenser takes another step closer with his M16. "Um, there's also side entrances!" Recenser pulls the charging handle back. Click. "Oh yes! And external and interior video surveillance monitored by a special security team for building defense!"
"Quit my job! Hey buddy, your crossing the line there!" Recenser steps forward again pressing the M16 barrel against the trooper's chest, "I have a family you know! And work isn't easy to find!"
The other trooper returns carrying a bin of assorted snacks and rations. "Here, you're doing us a favor this this we never use the rations anyways."
"Give them your ID."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
The trooper complies.
Three trooper IDs added! It seems like it would better to extract client data (and details about the car) from someone more involved with paperwork.
Bin of food secured!

Situation will govern how your rolls affect combat.
Allied suppressing fire (sniper, mg, rockets, etc), good cover, etc will better the
situation weakening the results of a low roll (3-1). Enemy suppressing fire will weaken the
situation. Situation is specific to each player and it basically has to do with how many people see you, how many are shooting at you, what kind of weapons and what kind of firepower you are you forcing your enemies to contend with.
If it doesn’t make to much sense then fight how you feel you should and you'll probably be doing it right, it's suppose to be pretty intuitive.
Enemy specials will get reaction rolls turning your roll, enemy normals will get a collective response roll at the end or beginning of the turn which governs how they adapt strategically and what kind of reinforcements they pull in.
Also remember if you don't specify the order of your actions then the order is the order that you guys reply in.
I’m trying to post twice a day.
Keep it up guys! You’re a fun bunch to write for.
