James Evan 1/2James thought for a moment about what to say. "Does that include people who can't actually do things but have been Oriented?"
Alone, with Taric incapacitated, faced with four cybernetic security guards and one
thing, you have the balls to stall for time. Hopefully Tarran the others haven't decided to just take five and go eat lunch. [Diplomacy 5 Vs Scion will 4-1]
"Does that include people who can't actually do things but have been Oriented?" The deadhead holding a gun to Taric's head frowns at you.
"I..." he manages before you cut him off.
" 'Cause if it did that would effect things, and you seem pretty serious about getting an answer.""Yes, now-""'and I don't want to say the wrong thing and get him shot because I didn't understand the questio-""Silence!" He finally yells at you
"How many of you are curr-"---
Tarran Smith, Harry Nakamuno, Jordan Grey, and Ashley Fey"I have no objections. Let's start!"
Super-Duper Passive Kinetics door opening/smashing time.
Harry activates his samson implants and opens the door, Ashley activates her stormcrow implants, these deadheads use energy weapons, and readies hear Leanashe rifle to open fire when a clean shot is available, Jordan Readies his Laser rifle and goes behind Ash
Tarran and Harry get ready to set their weight against the door as Jordan and Ashley get ready to storm through when they have an opening. [Tarran Str 5+1+passive kinetics 1 (bonus negated), Harry Nakamuno strength 4+1 = 12 Vs difficulty 15, Failure.] Both Tarran and Harry strain against the weight of the door, enhanced musculature pressing against the magnetically sealed door. After several long minutes of strain they only manage to gap the door a bare inch, even that small gain however is lost completely when Tarran slips backwards in the blood from the deadhead that was obliterated by the slamming door.
Cursing the door and the blood and the whole damn base in general Harry and Tarran take a step back to catch their breath.

Dominique WakemanDom took a step back. "Fine, fuck you," she said to the Immortal, reaching out with her mind. I'll just crush you with my damn mind. Reaching out with her telekinesis, she attempted to throw it back against the far wall with as much force as she could muster.
30 stamina for 450 pounds of movement and fling that guy. Also, idea for an evolution with that and Shear when I get around to grabbing it: Crush. Just grab a guy and crush them into paste. :3
Immortal: 32+6-1=37
Dominique: 66+4-3=67
You growl at the deadhead as you step back, you don't have to use your actual fists for this, that was a fucking courtesy. [A.Kinetics 3-1] (Failure -15 stamina) Something goes funny in your head for a moment, the mental equivalent of stepping as if there was an extra stair on a long stairway in the dark. It disrupts your focus and the tight net you intended to use is instead torn into a sort of psionic wind that merely buffets the Immortal a little.
Sensing a moment of weakness the Immortal charges, putting its rifle horizontal in an attempt to choke you with it. [Melee 6+1-1 Vs Precognition 2+1] It hits you while you're still flat-footed [Brawl 6+1] [confirm critical 2 vs Dominique end 5] and smashes into your throat with enough force to choke you, only the gravel in your gut and the spit in your eye prevents the thing from crushing your windpipe with that blow. (Dominique Armor -12 HP -14+25%=18) As it stands you can't breathe as the creature bowls you backwards pins you against the wall by your throat.
(Being choked, will start to lose stamina turn after next until the chokehold is removed.)

Taric SizierSLEEPY TIME!
[Stamina 4] (+4 stamina) Fuzzy sounds intrude on the edges of the painful blackness that consumes you, they're indistinct and they make your head hurt... Even trying to hear them makes your head hurt too badly and you lapse back into the oblivion of unconsciousness.

James Evan 2/2[Scion observe 5]
"-ently able to affect rea- eh?" The strange deadhead trails off as it watches as the door behind you open ever so slightly, and then slam shut again. The clone's eyes narrow dangerously.
"You played me." it says coldly, and without a visible signal every remaining guard in the room aims their pistols at you.
"Fine. Your group is coming back to claim you, at this point you will either immediately tell them to cease and desist, or they shoot you, and I claim a second hostage and use you against them. So you either tell them to stop trying to save you, or I default to the second option in five seconds."

Jordan Grey
Health: Damaged
Charge: Almost Full
Description: 5'9'' Jordan is a slender blond man with the red scraggle of beard perpetually encroaching on his chin. Part of his memories were lost during translation, and all hope of recovering them lost in the second battle. His name is a combination of earth history and the book Grey's anatomy. 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.
