Day 4 - 00:13 (It's Carnival!)
Your sleep is momentarily broken by the sound of people shuffling boxes and equipment into the storage cube next to you. You head out to yell at them for a bit, before heading back into your cube to get some shut eye. When you finally wake up you realize that you'll have to wait till next turn to start making bombs. Eh, that's probably a good thing. After all, the noxious fumes would have probably bothered the workers next to you, and then questions would be asked, and threats would be given, and necks would be snapped...

Description: Unlike those common, run-of-the-mill clubs, this one is crafted with tender and loving care, greatly increasing its value. It's not deadlier than a regular golf club though. After all, at the end of the day you're still just hitting someone with a giant stick.
Golf Club: DMG: 1 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0
Special: Handicap: DMG: 2 when at less than 50% health.
Description: Not to be confused with a regular club, which the golf club pretends doesn't exist. Millions of people use this to whack little white spheres, when they could be using it to whack other people.

You get some sleep, and wake up nice and refreshed. You briefly wonder where Capt Joun Quire is, but decide that the plan will just have to continue without him. However sleeping takes an entire turn, meaning that you can't carry out your plan or do any extra actions this turn. Well, unless you somehow get a blow-by-blow sequence of course.

Huh, you thought that you would have been interu-
Blow-by-Blow Sequence Activated!Crap. Judging by the sirens, the guards have ratted to the police. Judging by the screeching of tires, you're surrounded by several police cruisers. After a couple minutes someone yells at you through a bullhorn, "We have you surrounded. Come out with your hands up." Damn it. Don't they know it's Carnival?

UNDER SIEGE BY POLICE
Lacking any type of food what-so-ever, you decide to 'invite' a couple of 'customers' for a completely free 'meal' at your soon-to-be-open
'restaurant' restaurant. After you show them their seats in your (kinda run down) restaurant, you go and lock the doors and bar the windows before heading into the kitchen to pick up your weapons. To your immense surprise, your 'customers' have also made their way into the kitchen, and seem to have picked up some firearms along in the way, namely a sawn-off and a pair of pistols.
"May I ask what the hell you think you're doing? This is our turf now, and we did not give you permission to open a restaurant."
Crap.

Special: Nighty Night: Sneak attacks with this weapon always knocks a target out, assuming that they have no protection against being knocked out.
Desciption: Favoured by thugs, cavemen and anybody who's ever whacked somebody else with a stick. Obviously bringing a club to a gunfight is going to get yourself killed.
Knife: DMG: 3 RoF: 0 ACC: 45% CAP: 0
Special: Silent Killer: Attacks are completely silent. Guards probably won't have overactive imaginations, so try to kill them with the first throw.
Backstab: DMG: 8 with a sneak attack.
Description: It's a knife. A nice knife, yes, but not the kind of knife that would warrant a long description. At best it'd probably have a really nice handle, or maybe a blade with no notches in it. Really, what can you do to snazz up a knife like this? Sure, you could add gold and jewels and other fancy stuff on it, but what's the point? For a common, average, work-a-day knife, you wouldn't want to fancy it up so much in case the you break or ruin it. What you want is a common, easy to get knife. That way, it's not some distinctive piece of evidence they can use when you stab a man with it. Knowing you, you'll stab a lot of men with it.

After a little bit of emotional blackmail, you decide to get some well-deserved shuteye. After a couple hours of sleep, you go and check to see how your workers are doing. However, instead of working like they were supposed to do, the child have decided to follow your example and cried themselves to sleep. Well, they followed your example on the sleeping part. The crying part they came up with all on their own. Needless to say, no wallets were made this turn.

You know, you're starting to get good at this whole 'running away while screaming' technique.
Skill get: Run away! (+2 to screaming and fleeing)
After a couple hours of your new favourite past time, you accidently bump into a fairly brawny man. He grabs you by your shoulders, and starts shaking you until you stop screaming. Once you've quieted down, he whispers (or asks you. All the screaming has kinda dulled your hearing for a bit), "Now what the hell was all that screaming about?"

Jessica skips around the city, giggling to herself and trying to avoid the crowds. Since it's Carnival, nobody really notices Jessica's erratic behavior, since the number of women doing the same is quite large (though very few of them are as nicely dressed as Jessica).
One of the onlookers is kind enough to offer his piece of pizza to Jessica, or at least he would have, if he wasn't passed out. Still, it's what he would have wanted, so Jessica thanks him for his generosity and takes a slice.
Jessica also checks in several of the hotels for the embassy, but finds no clue or trace of them. Finally, after wandering through Kaua Street for a bit, Jessica eventually collapses in an alleyway from exhaustion. Searching all of those hotels was exhausting.

Project EVIL makes safety a top priority, especially when it comes to testing the latest chemicals and drugs. Thus every member of Project EVIL has been given a vial of our latest chemical, to conduct a field test of the drug. Don't worry, the drug has been found to be 100% safe. In Italians. Who have blond hair. And are named Arnaldo. Arny to his friends.
Capt. Joun Quire seems to have lost wireless access to the Project EVIL super-satellite, and thus his actions are unknown at this point. Should the tests show that contact was lost due to measures outside his control, Capt. Joun Quire will not have an appointment with Sniper Squad, and instead will be mind-wiped and sent back in time to slightly before the signal was lost, allowing him to redo his actions in full view of Project EVIL. (AKA he can still submit his actions for this/last turn)
