Akhain GazhornWait for my payment. Like a good alien/boy/thing.
[3] - Akhain opens up his account and waits patiently for the payment. After a while, he's asked to accept a transfer of 4000¤ and takes it. Of course, he needs to actually tell the Republic he's taken out Kosh if he wants their reward as well - likely smaller than promised, as Kosh was supposed to be taken alive. There's no telling how much it's going to be reduced. The original bounty was 25 000¤. They'll probably want the body now.

Stupid gangers. Now to see if I can get an idea of what's going on in that church.
Get closer to the church to surveil it. Avoid detection, and determine number and location of sentries, as well as checking for traps and ways in that don't involve damage to the structure.
[2] - Systar scouts out the area thoroughly and looks for any high-up spots he could use - but as he soon discovers, the gang is here in enormous numbers, their members lounging at the doorstep of nearly every building in the district. He gives up on the ranged surveillance and just walks as discreetly as he can past the church doors.
[3] There are six gangers outside the church building, standing with their guns out. They seem to be waiting for someone or something. Looks like the front door isn't an option.
Systar hurries into the narrow alley between the church and the building on its right, looking for any alternative entrances. [6] Both the back door and the windows lay wide open. It seems you're in luck for a change.

Gaosaron felt sick. "We gotta stop those things." Unfortunately he didn't have any non-lethal pre-fight equipment like flashbangs or gravity traps; they were going to have to rely on surprise alone. "We bust in, I sweep left, you go right. Precision fire, aim for the ones with weapons first then go for the ones holding the implants and such. Maybe if we can save this guy he can give us a rundown on what's going on." He moved to the left side of the door, switching to his carbine - the shotgun was nice for hitting things without much thought, but he DIDN'T want to be shooting indiscriminately at this juncture. "On your signal, partner."
[4] - Ratrik swallows and nods. 'Alright. On my three.' He counts down, and on one he kicks open the door.
[5] Gao goes first, swinging to the left from the doorway and opening up with his Accelerator Carbine. [Dodge:3-1=2] A volley of supercharged bullets slam into a scarred alien's chest [Damage:17] with such force he spins around in the air and falls on his head, spraying blood everywhere. [1+3-2=2] He's in no state to counterattack.
[3+1=4] Tarur follows up with a blast from his Flechette Shotgun, the powerful weapon catching [Dodge:3-1=2][Dodge:4-1=3][Dodge:2-1=1][Dodge:6-1=5][Dodge:2-1=1] four of the five aliens on the right side unawares. [1] The poor subject on the central table is also caught on the edges of the blast. [Damages:20/17-15=2/32+15=47/46+15=61] Three are killed immediately and the fourth takes a flechette to the chest. [Damage:1-15=0] The subject is not seriously harmed, thankfully.
Only two aliens with some kind of weapons are left, but there are plenty of medical tools scattered around the room for the seven unarmed ones to grab.

Action: Head back to ground level. Stay out of sight, but continue to survey them.
"The Hounds? Wow, certainly sound more imposing than the Angry Aubergines we had where I grew up." Kaviv chuckled, hoping it sounded natural. He then followed the woman's gaze over towards this 'Brass' fellow, nodding slowly.
"Seems like a pretty good guy... Sure knows how to supply a party, eh?" He cast an uncertain glance over towards 971 from his seat, then cracked open his drink for emphasis. "Being new in town, is being hard to get that kindof stuff."
Kaviv watches the woman thoughtfully as he speaks, taking a few sips of drink and subtly trying to prise loose any additional information about these 'Hounds', their drug connections, or this 'Brass' guy. If he doesn't have much success with that, he'll eventually excuse himself in a friendly manner before heading over to 971. Hopefully WITHOUT blundering it all and making an utter fool of himself.
[6] - 971 leaves his partner to chat with the girl and heads out, making his way down to street level. He sticks to the shadows and follows the two gangers as they make their way across the street. They continue strolling around with no obvious target. After listening in to their discussion for a moment, 971 gathers that yes, these are the enforcers the store owner was expecting. He sticks to the side and keeps them in sight.
[4] The girl babbles on at lenght about this gang, the 'Gutter Hounds'. It seems she isn't too interested in them, but she's heard the drugs are their main business. The big cartels and syndicates provide it to them and they sell it on the street, like here to her sister.
[1] Before he gets anything worthwhile about Brass, however, the girl frowns and stops. 'Enough about them already. You haven't told me anything about yourself.' she says, making a dismissive gesture. 'You said you're not from here - so, where do you come from?' she asks, then adds; 'Earth?'
[2] Kaviv isn't sure how to excuse himself without sounding terribly rude.

See what else is on his schedule for the day.
[1] - He's going to be at the office for hours still, then return home and write more of his life's work, an enormous book about the history of the planet. Looks like there's nothing to do for a while.

Loria walks around the back trying to find a good vantage point to view the open door from. If the coast seems to be clear she'll enter into the building through the back door, keeping an eye out for any security precautions that are in place, which might pose a threat to her.
[3] - Loria circles the building, but the only real vantage points are the windows of other buildings, behind similarly locked doors. She decides to peer around the corner instead, and seeing that there's nobody there, heads inside.
[6] The door is indeed open and devoid of any security measures, and leads to a humid basement storage. Piles of useless junk and forgotten furniture lay inside cage-like boxes. The dust is so thick on the floor she can actually feel it. There's nobody here, though the blankets and remains of makeshift fires tell her it's probably been used by the city's homeless recently. Before moving on, Loria pauses to look at the blueprints and think about her plan.
With Anthony and Mille inside their apartment, breaking in isn't really an option, but there's not really anything else she can do either. Their apartment has a balcony, and you could probably leap to it from either of the adjourning flats, but the benefits of that aren't very clear either. She curses herself for not bringing surveillance gear or microphones that could be planted there. If she heads away to get some she risk them disappearing somewhere, though.
