Day 5 - 10:19 (Just as planned [Sorta])
"Bloody hell, man- are you with EVIL? Flaming ashes... alright, so Ujarak's ride is gone. That means if nobody else succeeds, he still needs a new way to leave the factory and get to the airport. How many vehicles are in that parking lot?"
If Xavier/Zane do not recall, drive back to recon in person.
Since Alexander seems to recall the exact number of cars in the parking lot, you decide to relax and let Zane drive. After all, he's behind the wheel and probably isn't going to do something crazy, right?
"Well, thanks." Off to Wilco Donuts!
You thank the bank teller and exit the building. She seemed like a nice person.
As you start walking, you realize how large the city is. As in really large. Really, really large. It's going to take you hours to get across the city on foot. So unless you hitch a ride or find another store, well, I hope you like walking.
Use the time I have to pick out a hiding spot that I'll be concealed in, but still have a good range of fire. Once I'm in it, set up my UM-45 and lie in wait.
On the radio: "I hope that the reason that this warehouse is completely empty is not you. If it is, then you're wasting my use in this operation by wasting your distraction. I won't be able to pull it off as clean without it."
You find a nice, comfortable hiding spot behind a shelf, a stack of crates, and what looks like some shrink wrap. You string up the shrink wrap to cover your position. Unless somebody managed to sneak within a metre of your mini-bunker, they shouldn't be able to see you. Additionally you have a nice, clear angle of fire, with all the major entrances and exits covered.
Knowing that it's such a shame that the warehouse is empty, you yell at your co-conspirator for a bit on the radio.
Suddenly, a fire alarm rings out in the warehouse.
Kane struggled to remember if this place had a helipad or not... probably not as Ujarak arrived by car. Still, worth a try!
Head to the roof, where there probably wont be a helipad. Once out of sight radio my accomplice - "the distraction is in acted. Soon there will be plenty of people heading out the front door, and Ujarak will be amongst them"
After struggling up all those stairs, you find to your horror that the roof isn't equipped with a Helipad! Now how are you going to get off this roof! Only a sheer fool would jump off and oh right, the fire escape.
In your obsession about helipads, you completely forgot that all buildings come equipped with fire escapes, to ensure that nobody stranded on the roof gets burned to a crisp. A couple minutes of searching nets you a fire ladder, which is a flexible ladder that's three stories long. All you have to do is clip it on the side of the building, and bam! Instant escape route. Quite convenient, I must say.
Action: Innovation point! A little known attribute of bacon scented mouthwash is it's ability to disengage sticky bomb adhesive. :3
Do so now. Toss bomb randomly in direction of Mr. Simpson whilst shrieking hysterically.
Gerald Root consumes an innovation point!
Gerald Root dissolves the sticky bomb with the bacon-flavoured mouthwash and chucks the grenade away!Another well known attribute of bacon-flavoured mouthwash is its high combustibility. Thus, instead of a mini-fireball giving Simpson third-degree burns, you get an intense white-hot explosion that burns your eyebrows off. It also reduces Ujarak and several bystanders to a pile of ash. Nice.
Your guard buddy, seeing your amazing grenade throw that killed Ujarak Simpson, decides that you are in fact a criminal, and pulls out his taser pistol.
Graeme McRetirement fires the Taser Pistol at Gerald Root!
The prongs embed themselves in Gerald Root's left thigh!
Liquid Agony has activated! Gerald Root is stunned for two combat rounds!Graeme McRetirement slaps a set of handcuffs on Gerald Root!
Gerald Root is no longer stunned."lots." Alexander says, rubbing the side of his head. "No worries though, comrade. I didn't seize control of this lovely piece of machinery for nothing."
Use bandages to reduce likelihood of death resulting from my following actions, then ask Xavier if he would like a ride as I prepare to drive the car straight through the nearest suitable factory entrance.
With great skill and dexterity you bandage yourself up while driving a motor vehicle.
Health: +1Wait, did I say great skill and dexterity? I meant that you botched the entire driving thing. After about a block you crash into a wireless poll. Sucks to be you.
Alexander Zane is thrown out of the vehicle and skids along the pavement, bruising everything and tearing the skin! (5 damage)
Esquire Xavier Omon is thrown out of the car and flies through the air!
He hits the wireless poll, bruising everything and severely breaking his right leg! (9 damage)Esquire Xavier Omon has gained an effect!
Severely Broken Right LegEffect: Can't run or walk. -5 to all actions requiring your right leg.
Duration: Lasts until right leg mends or is placed in a splint.Description: That's the last time that Alexander Zane gets to drive you anywhere.
I'm waiting for the sniper squad. At the last moment, I'm gonna use my Psi and an innovation point to get them to kill the guards instead, and make my escape in the boat.
I'm not entirely sure how it will all work out, I am assuming the innovation point will figure it out. Don't forget to grab the key from the dead guard!
Barring that, just use innovation point and remaining psi to orchestrate stealing the boat.
Luckily for Jessica, Sniper Squad doesn't have a reason to kill her. Since they're not complete idiots, they'd probably send a psi-immune robot to kill her. Or a ballistic missile. Or a sniper a couple of kilometres away. Sniper Squad gets more funding than Project EVIL for a reason.
Yayyyy Jessie is Our Name What is Yours? has consumed an innovation point!
Yayyyy Jessie is Our Name What is Yours? has created a devious plan!Devious being relative of course. All Jessica does is declare that she has to go to the bathroom. The guards, being nice gentlemen, politely turn around to give her some privacy. They were also polite enough to leave the keys in. A couple minutes and several confused guards later, and Jessica is cruising the harbour in style. Sweet.
