Tarran Smith And Dominique Wakeman"If you want to figure out, maybe you should check the door. Maybe you'll find out who. I have no idea."
Get ready to cowboy-draw my Sleipnirs.
"I'd listen to him, he has a point," Dom said, stepping aside. "We were just wondering that ourselves, I mean that's a heavy door. Maybe you should go in and check it out." When the last deadhead passed her, she was shooting it in the back of the skull with her Abassy.
[Tarran Lie 3][Dominique Lie 1] [Deadhead Security Detect lie 4] Both Tarran and Dominique act perfectly innocent of the whole there's-a-giant-hole-in-the-damn-wall situation, the Deadheads however seem unconvinced and merely peer at them unnervingly. [Deadhead Security Detect lie 4]
"Sub-vocal stress patterns corroborated by cognitive pathology indicative of facetiousness, you will be detained as witnesses and suspects to vandalism case 0023. Please remain where you are pending retrieval." Yeah right, when pigs fly.

Taric SizierUse part of the wreaked door to seal the ants into the helmet, Then ready the frankie for COMBAT!
"DAMMIT DOM!, YOU WREAKED THE EMITTER!"
[Kinetics Auto-Fail (You'd kill yourself before you managed this.)] Despite your best efforts are unable to mutilate the door with your mind, and after a pair of quick attempts whose only results were deep furrows in your eyebrows you give it a rest. With sweat already beading on your forehead you give it a rest, you're going to need more people to work metal with your mind alone...
Monotone voices from the hall get your attention though, and judging from the words they're supposed to be the security team that was dispatched to pick you up and arrest you. No way in hell you're going to let that happen without a fight. Dropping to one knee you hunker down and train the sights on the doorway that Dom renovated.

Ashley Fey, Jordan Grey, Harry NakamunoIm assuming Ash notices the deadhads?
Silently Ash lines up her fingers with one of the deadheads, ready to open fire with her javalin as soon as everyone else opens up
Harry Staps the nearest one as son as hostilities commence, and activates his Aegis if the bad guys are not al dead after the initial flurry
Jordan Pulls out his Laser rifle as soon as the bad guys are not looking at him
The dark suited figures do not go unnoticed by Ashley as she works on the door. Remaining unnoticed at the far end of the hallway she carefully lines up a shot for whenever hell decides to break loose. Jordan and Harry just stand out of the way as Tarran and Dom dig themselves in deeper, they'll do what's needed when the time comes.

James Evan You remain silent with Harry and Jordan, talking was never your strong suit and these guys don't look in the mood for a polite bit of chit-chat. Instead you position yourself to pummel the nearest security guard the instant it comes within range.

Security ForceThe deadheads march forwards, leaving two of their number to watch Dom and Tarra -much to their chagrin- while the others move to retrieve Taric from the red-lit room. For a moment the deadhead stands silhouetted against the light as it begins charging Taric with his crimes.
"Pyotr Ivanov, you are found under dire suspicion of knowingly attempting to hack into a secure system in violation of your employment contract. You are found a suspec-" [Taric Marksman 2+1] Taric's laser however cuts across the doubtless enthralling list and collides with the deadhead's shoulder. (Deadhead armor -10 Deadhead HP -11) [Taric Marksman 4+1+1, Fire Control 3+1+1] [Confirm Critical 5 Vs deadhead armor 3, critical confirmed] The Frankenstein's second barrel however roars as it rips through the deadhead security guard. (Deadhead Armor -8, -6, -5, -4 Deadhead Hp -32, -50, -43, -52] Spine severed and essential internal organs damaged beyond repair the deadhead spits blood as it attempts to continue listing Taric's crimes, then it topples forwards to bubble bloody nonsense into the floor.
Dominique reacts first, whipping her pistol up and between the eyes of the deadhead detaining her. [Quickshot 6+1+2-2] [Confirm critical 5 vs armor 4, critical confirmed] Complex and expensive cognitive simulation hardware is reduced to twisted metal as the .50 caliber slug rips through the cyborg's head. (Deadhead Armor -10, Deadhead Hp -1070 {Not a glitch, 27x4(crit)x10(headshot on deadhead)})
As the machine in front of Dominique collapses into a pile of bleeding parts before it can even draw a weapon Tarran draws both of his SMGs and fires at point blank range at the one guarding him. [Quickshot 5+1+1+2, 5+1+1+2] [Fire Control 5+2+1, 2+2+1] [Confirm critical A 4 Vs armor 5, confirm failed] [Confirm critical B 3 Vs armor 4, confirm failed] The small caliber of the weapon though is its downfall, and the armor worn by the security agent is sufficient to stop the rounds from doing more than bruising it. (Deadhead Armor -2, -6, -5, -6, -4, -1, -2, -5, -4, -3 Deadhead Hp -1, -1, -1) The deadhead growls at Tarran with something approaching real malevolence.
"Citizen, shooting a security officer is a crime, lethal force is author-"The deadhead is interrupted by James smashing his fist into the side of the machine's fragile head, [Melee 3+1-1 Vs Dodge 2] catching the cyborg completely by surprise. [Brawl 4+1] (Deadhead Armor -2 Deadhead Hp -40) Causing the thing to stagger backwards as its internal balance fails to cope with unexpected situation: Fist.
Harry extends a foot long shining blade from each wrist as the uninjured deadhead begins to draw a pistol from inside its suit jacket, [Melee 3+1-1, 4+1-1 Vs dodge 2] stabbing both at its cranium. [Brawl 1, 1] Both blades however glance unluckily off the lightly armored cranium of the cyborg, barely making scratches across its skull.
This does however give Jordan time to get his own rifle up before the deadhead can fire. [Quickshot 1] [Luck 1] The short range barrel on the rifle however gives off an unhealthy flash and a smell like burning metal. You have a feeling that barrel won't be working again for a while.
Ashley however snipes in to save the day as the Deadhead manages to level its pistol at Dominique's head. [Marksman 2+1] The beams converge on the cyborg's stomach, burning a thin hole that would have painful on a human, but on the machine is merely an inconvenience. (Deadhead 2 Armor -10, Hp -6)
Without anything else to stop it the deadhead fires the small pistol at point blank range at Dominique's head. [Quickshot 4+2-2 Vs Precognition 4+1] She drops and twists at the same instant as the disruptor fires, filling the air with the smell of ozone and Dominique's burning hair as the bolt misses her head by an inch. Well at least that takes care of the problem with her hair being too long.
(Deadhead killed x2, Deadhead 1 off-balance (dex based rolls for next turn -1.)

Description: 5'9'' Jordan is a slender blond man with the red scraggle of beard perpetually encroaching on his chin.

His medical expertise remains intact along with his sarcasm and combat skills, but most of the rest of his life is hazy.
Personality complication: Hatred, he might not show it much of the time but Jordan holds a grudge against the... thing that robbed of the chance to ever recover his memories. He is determined to kill it, if it's the last thing he ever does.
