MilesMk1 (8:19:52 PM): Hello.
MilesMk1 (8:19:55 PM): Avast!
Umbrafer (8:20:23 PM): Are ye' ready to take the bottle o' rum in your hand and plunder these here insect spirits?
Thematrian1 (8:21:04 PM): wait, there's only one pirate on SotSW, and I play her
MilesMk1 (8:21:05 PM): Sendin' them to Davey Jones' locker, I be.
Thematrian1 (8:21:20 PM): I think I want to see the post-game chatter from last week
MilesMk1 (8:21:25 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (8:21:54 PM): I think this outbreak of piracy was completely spoantenous and unrelated to any post-game chatter...
Thematrian1 (8:22:05 PM): damn, spontaneous piracy. And in this day and age...
Umbrafer (8:22:06 PM): *Hangs head* I haven't posted them yet. *Goes to do that*
Umbrafer (8:22:13 PM): Adam will be late but will be here.
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (8:22:43 PM): And Dragcrell shows his ability to leave rooms he never entered.
Thematrian1 (8:22:45 PM): most excellent
Dragcrell has entered the chat room.

Dragcrell (8:23:03 PM): well
MilesMk1 (8:23:21 PM): Now, don't make me link to that flash animation of pirate (Or was it Viking? Close enough) kittens set to the "Immigrant Song."
MilesMk1 (8:24:02 PM): Some sort of seaborne bandits...
Dragcrell (8:24:08 PM): lol
MilesMk1 (8:25:16 PM): How are you, Dragcrell? Have you been using fear to keep the hircine vandals in line?
Dragcrell (8:25:49 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (8:26:20 PM): er?
MilesMk1 (8:26:31 PM): Hircine.
MilesMk1 (8:26:35 PM): ...
MilesMk1 (8:26:42 PM): The goats.
Thematrian1 (8:26:43 PM): it's not that
Thematrian1 (8:26:51 PM): ok, it was that
Dragcrell (8:27:11 PM): dont make me piss on your leg Miles
Thematrian1 (8:27:52 PM): well, that was heartwarming
Thematrian1 (8:27:57 PM): when we left our antiheroes
MilesMk1 (8:27:59 PM): I wouldn't do that... Alex would proably throw you out of the van. ;)
Dragcrell (8:28:15 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (8:28:16 PM): they'd accepted ten grand from the universal brotherhood, just for an option on some talking later
MilesMk1 (8:28:37 PM): Before you freak out, they asked to talk to us...
Thematrian1 (8:28:50 PM): (Oh for fuck's sake. Apparently, I'm the only one who knows how to remove chicken from the oven and slice bits off. Would everyone please fill Dragcrell in?)
MilesMk1 (8:29:34 PM): So we figured that, since they seemed to know about us anyway, and we'd be trying to stay hidden from them regardless, we might as well take the money for letting them call us sometime in the future.
MilesMk1 (8:29:50 PM): Um... I guess that leaves some detail out.
Dragcrell (8:30:00 PM): lol just a bit ;3
Umbrafer (8:30:05 PM): There we go, all logs from the last two weeks are up.
MilesMk1 (8:30:46 PM): While I was talking to the woman in the Stuffer Shack, a spirit materialized inside the van and told Rock that they'd like to talk to us. Since they weren't attacking us, and our cover seemed to be blown, we said why not -
MilesMk1 (8:31:19 PM): have to resolve this somehow, and agreed to meet them outside of the building. Blake exchanged phone numbers with the woman, told her to stay away from UB, and joined the rest of the gang.
MilesMk1 (8:32:12 PM): An older man came out (actually, came out before, and looked at the van - now he came over as we drove up), we talked, he said they might need people "with our skills" at some point, and offered 10K just for
MilesMk1 (8:32:34 PM): leaving him a way to contact us, so we took the money, gave him a number of a disposeable cell phone we bought, and left.
MilesMk1 (8:33:28 PM): As we were regrouping and trying to figure out what was going on, we noticed that the damn news were still strangely silent, and that the the Matrix was going down city-wide... and we left it there.
Dragcrell (8:33:47 PM): O_o well thats never good
MilesMk1 (8:34:22 PM): Oh, and I called a shaman friend (or rather, she called me, I think, because she was having Matrix trouble too) and I asked her to get us in touch with someone who can put up 10k's worth of strong wards. ;)
MilesMk1 (8:35:24 PM): And that's where we ended.
Thematrian1 (8:35:36 PM): yeah, Sam called you
Dragcrell (8:35:50 PM): mmmmmm you know they coudl be a hassel for Trick unless they can be made to let him pass with out much truble
MilesMk1 (8:36:36 PM): Ah. Well, we have plenty of time to figure stuff like that out, for now, we're just looking for someone who can make them quickly.
Umbrafer (8:36:56 PM): For a minute there I thought you meant Sam, our dear departed mage
Thematrian1 (8:37:29 PM): (Nope. That's why I kept getting confused about Sam's gender. Blake has a shaman contact named Sam, but a girl)
Dragcrell (8:37:44 PM): (Snickers)
MilesMk1 (8:37:52 PM): Samantha, actually,
Thematrian1 (8:38:05 PM): (Close enough for my own confusion)
Thematrian1 (8:38:44 PM): so, there it was. Samantha was going to call you back, if memory serves
Thematrian1 (8:38:50 PM): in the meantime, you guys had no special place to be
Umbrafer (8:39:07 PM): The satellite cluster also started bouncing my signal.
Thematrian1 (8:39:16 PM): yep
Thematrian1 (8:39:21 PM): nothing in the news, either
Umbrafer (8:40:17 PM): "We've got some bad shit right here."
Dragcrell (8:41:24 PM): "Some? thats kinda a under statement"
Umbrafer (8:41:42 PM): "We're going to get more."
Umbrafer (8:42:05 PM): *Mutters something about all the good towns going to shit as soon as she gets there*
Dragcrell (8:42:08 PM): "dare I ask?"
Umbrafer (8:42:35 PM): "Old stuff. You wouldn't be interested."
Dragcrell (8:43:47 PM): *nods* "So whats the plan now other then hope they never call us?"
MilesMk1 (8:44:27 PM): "If they call us, we didn't promise we'd do anything for them."
Umbrafer (8:44:44 PM): "We didn't promise anything if they do, other than let them call us in the first place"
Umbrafer (8:44:53 PM): (Eep)
Umbrafer (8:45:03 PM): (Scratch that, read that as "if they don't call us")
Thematrian1 (8:45:09 PM): (Trickster gets it in stereo sound. Good times)
Thematrian1 (8:45:37 PM): The clock strikes midnight.
Thematrian1 (8:45:59 PM): Some UCAS politician got caught with a ork prostitute
MilesMk1 (8:46:05 PM): "I'm not sure why they paid us, to be honest, unless they really think they need us, or were worried we'd be more trouble than it was worth if we kept hanging around there."
MilesMk1 (8:46:31 PM): "Oh, and just because it's an ork hooker, it's somehow a bigger deal? Bigots..."
Umbrafer (8:46:47 PM): Are they obvious about the racism, or do they just make a bigger deal than they usually would about him getting caught with a hooker?
Thematrian1 (8:47:00 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 3 4 6 2 3 2 4 1 3 2 1 6 6 1
Dragcrell (8:47:06 PM): *turns head some what confused*
Thematrian1 (8:47:19 PM): There's definitely an undercurrent of "Why an ORK, for God's sake?"
Umbrafer (8:48:44 PM): "Damn racists."
Umbrafer (8:49:05 PM): "Don't even pay well."
MilesMk1 (8:49:12 PM): "And still not a word about things like burning holes where houses used to be or a complete Matrix failure..."
Umbrafer (8:49:35 PM): "This reeks coverup."
Thematrian1 (8:50:09 PM): 12:05
Dragcrell (8:50:32 PM): *shurges* "I never did under sand your guys probmes with the other ...*thinks*..races and besides maby they dont think its worth reporting?"
MilesMk1 (8:51:37 PM): "What, that the Matrix went down? Are you kidding me? We're talking millions, if not billions lost if they don't get it up and running in time for business tomorrow. This ought to be all over the news."
MilesMk1 (8:52:39 PM): "Nothing... Not even scapegoating. Cover-up is right..."
Dragcrell (8:52:46 PM): *thinks* "Then why cover it up if is that large woudl be hard to hide wouln't it?"
Umbrafer (8:53:15 PM): Have there been any planes overhead recently?
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

EverGuard4 (8:53:27 PM): yo
Thematrian1 (8:53:28 PM): not that you've noticed
Umbrafer (8:53:48 PM): I'm going to scan for any in the general direction of the airport. If necessary, I'll move towards it.
Umbrafer (8:54:00 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 3 5 1 3
Thematrian1 (8:54:20 PM): It'll take ~40 minutes to get close enough
Dragcrell (8:54:51 PM): anything unusal on the astral?
Thematrian1 (8:54:54 PM): all good
Thematrian1 (8:55:03 PM): Confirm visiting the airport, Alex?
Umbrafer (8:55:28 PM): Yes.
Dragcrell (8:55:28 PM): ((gah hate hot muggy weather -_-))
Thematrian1 (8:56:07 PM): all right. The time is 12:45. You scan the airport and the surrounding airspace, and detect no plane-sized objects moving. Not on the ground, not in the air, nowhere.
Umbrafer (8:57:29 PM): Is the Chicago airport usually still as busy as it is today?
Thematrian1 (8:57:40 PM): This neighborhood is an easy AA, by the by
Thematrian1 (8:57:46 PM): if anything, more so
Umbrafer (8:58:47 PM): *Nods* Leaving the area as soon as I've got the info I need.
Thematrian1 (8:59:07 PM): the scan takes only a few minutes (to get a long enough snapshot)
Thematrian1 (8:59:14 PM): The time is 12:55
Umbrafer (8:59:31 PM): Can I get an answer on the above?
Thematrian1 (8:59:59 PM): heh, sorry. If anything, it's more busy
Thematrian1 (9:00:05 PM): or, you know, normally is
Umbrafer (9:00:43 PM): "I don't like this."
Umbrafer (9:00:55 PM): "Any objections to skipping town for a bit?"
MilesMk1 (9:01:07 PM): "No Matrix access, the aiport is down... Let me try to make a long distance phone call..."
MilesMk1 (9:01:12 PM): "Not me."
MilesMk1 (9:01:23 PM): "You plan on heading out now, or grabbing a few people?"
Dragcrell (9:01:35 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 6 6 5 6 5 2
Dragcrell (9:01:46 PM): Dragcrell rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 1
Dragcrell (9:01:53 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Dragcrell (9:02:01 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Dragcrell (9:02:10 PM): /roll-dice 7
EverGuard4 (9:02:12 PM): *Spanish mutter* "What does 'skipping town' mean?"
Dragcrell (9:02:20 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 4 4 3 3 6 5
Umbrafer (9:02:21 PM): "Leaving."
Dragcrell (9:02:29 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (9:02:37 PM): "Usually with haste, frequently to avoid… unpleasantness."
Dragcrell (9:02:37 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Dragcrell (9:02:46 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 4 1 5 5 3 3 3
Dragcrell (9:03:09 PM): "I'm for it anythaing to get away from them UB wirdos."
MilesMk1 (9:03:34 PM): *calls information, then tries to place a call to a... bank in NYC*
Thematrian1 (9:04:16 PM): When you dial information, you get "We're sorry, all of our operators are currently otherwise engaged. Please stand by, or press 1 for expert system service"
Umbrafer (9:04:42 PM): "I've got people it'd be bad form to leave behind if there's really something big going down, but I'm not sure if they'll want to go."
MilesMk1 (9:05:39 PM): "Yeah... I guess we should make some calls, and figure out if we're going to need a second car."
Dragcrell (9:07:22 PM): "Alex I dont think we was the only one intested in the Airport seen a watcher head that way as well what you think is going on?"
MilesMk1 (9:07:31 PM): "And by the way, I can't get the operator." *holds up his phone*
Umbrafer (9:07:39 PM): *Hooks up pocsec, calls up Sigrun*
Thematrian1 (9:09:23 PM): "Hello?" The voice is not Sigrun's; it sounds like one of her boys though you don't recognize her voice specifically.
Umbrafer (9:09:39 PM): "Hey. Sigrun there?"
Thematrian1 (9:10:09 PM): "She's busy. Message?"
Umbrafer (9:10:46 PM): "Tell her to give Alex a call when she gets the chance."
Thematrian1 (9:11:22 PM): "Right"
Umbrafer (9:11:30 PM): "Thanks."
Umbrafer (9:11:51 PM): *Click*
MilesMk1 (9:12:41 PM): "Well, it looks like they shut down the airport, doesn't it?"
Umbrafer (9:13:10 PM): "Oh no, I'm sure it's just heavy delays at every single other airport."
Umbrafer (9:13:15 PM): "We need to get out of here."
MilesMk1 (9:13:57 PM): "Yes, we do. How do you plan on getting out? And how many people are you willing to bring with us?"
Umbrafer (9:15:20 PM): "Let's see what we're dealing with first."
MilesMk1 (9:15:30 PM): "All right."
Dragcrell (9:15:42 PM): "well lest I dont take up much room tho I hope the area under your seats are some what clean."
Thematrian1 (9:15:57 PM): Blake, your cell phone rings.
Umbrafer (9:16:02 PM): "Yeah, watch out for the needles."
Dragcrell (9:16:47 PM): *raises left eyebrow*
MilesMk1 (9:16:48 PM): *picks up* "Yeah?"
Umbrafer (9:17:03 PM): What's the nearest major highway out of Chicago that doesn't go through overly nice parts of town?
Thematrian1 (9:17:37 PM): It's Edward Ng. "Blake, I just killed a giant praying mantis in my basement. What the hell is going on?"
MilesMk1 (9:19:39 PM): "I don't know... I only have bits and pieces. There's more of those bugs around - some of them the size of vans, but there's been no emergency service or police reaction."
Thematrian1 (9:19:45 PM): Jon: I'll get back to you.
MilesMk1 (9:21:26 PM): "Meanwhile, the Matrix is almost completely down, and last we checked, they seem to have shut down the fucking airport, and I can't get an operator when I try to use the phone."
Thematrian1 (9:21:59 PM): Quiet, heartfelt swearing. "Maybe it's time for a vacation?"
MilesMk1 (9:22:44 PM): "Some friends and I were thinking the same thing... I think we're going to go take a look at the roads out of town, see whether *those* are still around."
MilesMk1 (9:23:18 PM): "Then figure out how to go about splitting. And my offer still stands."
Thematrian1 (9:23:48 PM): "I'm about ready to take you up on it."
MilesMk1 (9:24:06 PM): "Oh... Are you ok? Just how big was that mantis?"
Thematrian1 (9:24:53 PM): "Bit taller than you. Faster than me. Much stronger."
MilesMk1 (9:25:06 PM): "How'd you put it down?"
MilesMk1 (9:26:13 PM): *mutes for a moment* "Friend of mine just had a run-in with a mantis in his basement. Says it was taller than me."
Thematrian1 (9:26:39 PM): "Grenades. One IPE into it, one into the box at its feet."
Umbrafer (9:26:41 PM): "I really thought you were going to say 'this van'."
Thematrian1 (9:26:56 PM): "Things are a bit messy here..."
MilesMk1 (9:27:12 PM): "That's still a five-foot tall bug we're talking about..." *unmutes*
Dragcrell (9:27:24 PM): "Eh so we have wasps, Beetles and now Mantis's eh nice whats next?"
MilesMk1 (9:27:40 PM): "I can imagine. How the hell did something that big get in to begin with?"
Thematrian1 (9:28:28 PM): "I don't know. I do know it laughs at the ares alpha. I gave it a full burst of ex-ex, didn't do a thing."
MilesMk1 (9:29:34 PM): "That's... good to know."
Dragcrell (9:30:35 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 1 2 6 5 3 3
Dragcrell (9:30:42 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (9:31:07 PM): "Well... Call if the situation changes, and I'll let you know when I find out how the ways out of the city look like, ok?"
MilesMk1 (9:31:39 PM): "If something gets fucked up and we can't use phones, and you need to leave, look for me at my place."
Thematrian1 (9:31:47 PM): "Right."
MilesMk1 (9:33:11 PM): "I'll talk to you soon."
Thematrian1 (9:33:35 PM): "Damn straight."
MilesMk1 (9:33:53 PM): (Is he being sarcastic, or just sincere?)
Thematrian1 (9:34:01 PM): (Sincere)
MilesMk1 (9:35:54 PM): "Definitely." *hangs up unless Ed interrupts*
MilesMk1 (9:36:09 PM): *relays the information to the people in the van*
Umbrafer (9:37:06 PM): "Yeah, we're getting out of here." *Dials up Shojo*
Thematrian1 (9:37:32 PM): "Yes?"
Umbrafer (9:37:47 PM): "Hey Shoj. This town is going straight to Hell."
Thematrian1 (9:38:00 PM): "You noticed that too?"
Thematrian1 (9:39:09 PM): "Martha's pissed, she's afraid we might have to leave..."
Umbrafer (9:40:05 PM): "Unfortunately, she might be right."
Thematrian1 (9:40:14 PM): "Uh huh. Now?"
Umbrafer (9:40:57 PM): "We're making sure the highway's still open. Have anyone you want to get out of here ready to go, and I'll try to find a way to fit everyone."
Thematrian1 (9:42:15 PM): Alex: Passive sensors
Umbrafer (9:42:37 PM): \\roll-dice8
Umbrafer (9:42:43 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 5 2 3 3 6
Umbrafer (9:42:50 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (9:43:22 PM): Something streaks overhead, high and fast
Thematrian1 (9:43:36 PM): some kind of vehicle, I should say, though you've got no details
Umbrafer (9:44:48 PM): Active sensors.
Umbrafer (9:44:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 3 5 5 3
Thematrian1 (9:45:00 PM): you get nothing new
Umbrafer (9:48:30 PM): Harrumph. Is it just hard to get a lock on, or do I get actively false locks?
Thematrian1 (9:49:00 PM): it's just hard. You don't get anything
Umbrafer (9:50:17 PM): What direction and about what speed?
Thematrian1 (9:51:29 PM): direction: into the city, roughly towards Meigs Field. speed: really friggin' fast, faster than any commercial craft short of a suborbital
Umbrafer (9:51:53 PM): Make note of that, keep doing what I'm doing.
Thematrian1 (9:52:58 PM): Indeed. You're on highway 61, and headed out of the city. You've seen more Eagles on this road in the past ten minutes than you've seen in the last month, but none of them try to stop you.
Umbrafer (9:53:53 PM): "I smell bacon."
EverGuard4 (9:54:03 PM): "Pardon?"
Umbrafer (9:54:12 PM): "The fuzz."
EverGuard4 (9:54:25 PM): *look of confusion*
Thematrian1 (9:54:30 PM): The time is 1:10
Umbrafer (9:54:36 PM): "Targets."
Dragcrell (9:54:50 PM): "eh great." *ducks down out of site*
MilesMk1 (9:55:22 PM): "The police. Law enforcement."
MilesMk1 (9:55:34 PM): "Trickster... We have completely tinted windows."
Dragcrell (9:56:28 PM): *snorts* "Its not the mudans that have me worryed its the spell slingers they some times have with em."
Thematrian1 (9:56:34 PM): Alex, your cell phone begins to ring
Umbrafer (9:57:25 PM): *Click* "Hello?"
Thematrian1 (9:58:01 PM): "Alex, this is Sigrun. Everything ok?"
Umbrafer (9:59:12 PM): "Yeah, things are fine here, but I think some bad shit is going down in this city. Anything weird happened around there?"
Umbrafer (9:59:51 PM): "Bugs in the basement? Your Matrix connection shut down and out-of-city calls go dead?"
Thematrian1 (10:00:38 PM): "Where should I start? No Matrix, no satellites at all, and one of the armored vans is upside down in Westside with giant cockroaches chewing on it."
Thematrian1 (10:01:45 PM): "Heard the bugs are real, giant insects, some kind of hive in the Shattergraves"
Thematrian1 (10:01:51 PM): Still cruising down the road, everything is A-OK
Umbrafer (10:02:08 PM): "Yeah, I figured as much. Some friends and I have decided that this might be the time for a little vacation."
Thematrian1 (10:02:47 PM): "Not a bad plan. Give the police, or the army, a couple of weeks to get things under control."
Umbrafer (10:02:48 PM): "We're checking out the highways out, and then we're gathering up people who want to leave. I wanted to know if you wanted to come along."
Dragcrell (10:03:08 PM): "Crap think one just whent astral Alex."
Thematrian1 (10:03:21 PM): "For now, we're holing up in the garage. We've got enough firepower to take on the UCAS"
Dragcrell (10:04:28 PM): "Oh hell Alex we might be haveing some issues with the police hes scaning the cars the vans next."
EverGuard4 (10:04:33 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 2 4 1 4 3 2
Umbrafer (10:05:44 PM): "I'm not surprised. Let me know if you need anything, and I'll swing by your place if the phones go down."
Thematrian1 (10:05:55 PM): "Yeah, do that. But knock first."
Umbrafer (10:06:26 PM): "Will do."
EverGuard4 (10:06:38 PM): *Spanish spanish spanish*
Dragcrell (10:06:47 PM): "Hey Rock you have any trick up those sleavs of yours?"
Thematrian1 (10:06:49 PM): "Good. The boys are nervous, but we'll ride this out, no worries."
EverGuard4 (10:06:51 PM): (English) "Incoming."
Umbrafer (10:07:32 PM): "We always do."
Dragcrell (10:08:00 PM): "Alex get ready to run form the police I dont know what it wants but its heading our way."
MilesMk1 (10:08:58 PM): *puts on a helmet* *picks up the AR and slaps in a clip of AV rounds*
Dragcrell (10:10:40 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 5 5 5 6
Dragcrell (10:10:49 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (10:11:26 PM): Unless Alex has more to add, Sigrun hangs up.
Dragcrell (10:12:00 PM): "Rock think you can have a chat with our gust see what he wants"
EverGuard4 (10:12:35 PM): (Jon is afk for the moment, sec)
EverGuard4 (10:12:59 PM): (He has nothing to add)
Dragcrell (10:21:05 PM): "mmm this one must not be all that expericed yet lets hope the bugs are his larger worry tho."
EverGuard4 (10:22:40 PM): "What do you want?"
Dragcrell (10:25:18 PM): "this could be a problem later on hes examineing every one in the van."
Umbrafer (10:27:49 PM): "What can he do with that info?"
Dragcrell (10:28:36 PM): "Well lets hope they dont think I'm to big of a worry for one."
MilesMk1 (10:29:07 PM): ((BTW, I hope I didn't screw things up by grabbing a weapon - I figured if he can tell I'm holding it, he'd see all the other illegal hardware in the van anyway.))
Thematrian1 (10:32:20 PM): actions?
MilesMk1 (10:32:58 PM): *waits nervously, with the gun within easy reach*
Dragcrell (10:33:22 PM): other then keep a eye on the car and waits to see if anything appers on the astral
Dragcrell (10:34:16 PM): "Hes back in the car lets hope they have bigger worrys say the bugs."
Thematrian1 (10:34:31 PM): The car is headed into Chicago.
Thematrian1 (10:34:35 PM): Roads are still clear
Dragcrell (10:35:53 PM): "I know one thaing he was afread of something as well and got a little shock at seeing me wounder what it was that had him so afread tho."
MilesMk1 (10:37:23 PM): "Like this van and what's inside it is not enough to make someone nervous?"
MilesMk1 (10:37:44 PM): (Did we turn around are heading back to Chicago? I seem to have missed that part.)
Thematrian1 (10:38:11 PM): (No, the car that the projecting mage came from is headed toward Chicago. You guys are still headed away)
Dragcrell (10:38:21 PM): *shackes head* "He was afread when he first poped in to the van something had him spooked befor he spoted us."
MilesMk1 (10:39:13 PM): "Well, the city did go nuts tonight. Anyone who knows what's going on is going to be worried."
Dragcrell (10:39:55 PM): *thinks* "woudl that be a normal thaing tho for the cops to do examion cars on the freeway?"
EverGuard4 (10:40:12 PM): (this is NOT a normal time)
Umbrafer (10:40:24 PM): (Alex might know this. Opinions?)
Thematrian1 (10:40:25 PM): (Everyone who isn't Trickster knows that it is not. Even Rock)
Umbrafer (10:40:31 PM): (Hehehe)
Umbrafer (10:40:45 PM): "No, they've got better things to do with their mages."
Dragcrell (10:41:00 PM): ((have to rember Trick may LOOK human but most thaings he woudl be confused or not know.))
EverGuard4 (10:41:53 PM): "The mage did not appear to follow a pattern or systematically inspect vehicles. Our visit may be more random."
MilesMk1 (10:42:28 PM): "But if he saw that we had two magically active people inside, along with whatever else... why leave us alone?"
Dragcrell (10:42:34 PM): "Or you or me prombed him to take a closer look meaning there looking for something out of the ordanary."
EverGuard4 (10:43:23 PM): "I suspect he found you quite interesting."
Umbrafer (10:43:36 PM): What does the road ahead look like?
Dragcrell (10:43:46 PM): "Eh no dout by the look on his face."

MilesMk1 (10:44:11 PM): Thanks.
Thematrian1 (10:44:25 PM): Pretty much empty. There are ES officers swarming around on the medians, waving flares and stuff, but no one is trying to obstruct you
Thematrian1 (10:44:35 PM): a few more minutes of this, and you'll be out of the city
Umbrafer (10:44:52 PM): What do they appear to be waving flares for?
Dragcrell (10:45:40 PM): and any thaing aroudn em on the astral?
Thematrian1 (10:45:44 PM): hm. Security Procedures or a moral equivalent might tell you
Thematrian1 (10:46:41 PM): The astral is getting busier. At least four of the officers are also astrally-perceiving mages
Umbrafer (10:47:03 PM): Hm. Best I got is Chicago Area (Highways and Road Systems), default a go?
Umbrafer (10:47:33 PM): (to Int, that is)
EverGuard4 (10:47:34 PM): wtf?
Thematrian1 (10:47:35 PM): hm. Default to Int
Umbrafer (10:47:41 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 3 2 1 5 3 3 4
Umbrafer (10:47:44 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (10:48:02 PM): you're not sure, it looks pretty random to you.
Umbrafer (10:48:08 PM): "Hey Blake, can you tell what they're doing with those flares?"
Dragcrell (10:50:08 PM): "Hey Alex 4 of them was mages wounder whats going on."
Umbrafer (10:50:21 PM): "La la la la la not listening…"
MilesMk1 (10:50:22 PM): I have police procedures at 4.
Dragcrell (10:50:40 PM): ((smart ass))
MilesMk1 (10:50:46 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 1 6 5
MilesMk1 (10:50:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (10:50:56 PM): 9,5,5
Umbrafer (10:51:10 PM): (My ass is very smart. It doesn't want to get itself 0wned ;) )
Thematrian1 (10:51:33 PM): At first you don't think of anything, but after watching them for a bit you see resemblences to some obscure procedures for signalling to civilian aircraft. There are some variations though.
Dragcrell (10:51:47 PM): ((no more then mine *cough* lest yours can only be attacted on the mudane :P))
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (10:53:28 PM): "If this wasn't a median of a road, I'd say they were signaling to aircraft."
Umbrafer (10:53:59 PM): "Woah." Can I roll Rotocraft to try to see what they're saying, since I'd presumably know?
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

Umbrafer (10:54:16 PM): Any visible aircraft?
Thematrian1 (10:54:52 PM): No Rotocraft. As for the aircraft, roll Sensors

Thematrian1 (10:55:23 PM): There's something up there, yeah, maybe several. The size is about right.
Umbrafer (10:56:01 PM): How far up and do I have any idea what they look like?
Thematrian1 (10:56:59 PM): How far up, a little under a mile. What shape...they're aircraft sized, beyond that you can't be sure
Dragcrell (10:57:13 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 1 5 2 2 6 3

Umbrafer (10:57:58 PM): *Drives along very innocently*
Dragcrell (10:58:31 PM): "Mmmm the mages have some wind spirts out Force 6-8."
Thematrian1 (11:00:31 PM): One of the ES officers points to the van, but they take no other action. You drive on by
Umbrafer (11:01:14 PM): Holding the course.
Umbrafer (11:01:26 PM): Are there other cars in the area?
MilesMk1 (11:01:33 PM): "I like that they're not shooting at us, but if something goes wrong, we'll have to drive back through all this..."
Thematrian1 (11:01:52 PM): yep. There are little clusters, a vehicle and 3-4 guys, every 50 feet
Thematrian1 (11:01:55 PM): or so
Umbrafer (11:02:14 PM): To rephrase: any non-cop cars?
Umbrafer (11:02:32 PM): "Hey, Rock?"
Dragcrell (11:02:38 PM): "Ya that is nice tho I think they are keeping taps on the van unless he was just pointing at us to let his budys know to be carfull."
Thematrian1 (11:02:59 PM): Ah. Very few, and you're faster than all of them.
EverGuard4 (11:03:23 PM): "?"
Umbrafer (11:03:34 PM): "You know that thing about pigs and bacon and targets?"
EverGuard4 (11:03:36 PM): (You could all hear that. Fo real."
Umbrafer (11:03:41 PM): "If we get pulled over, don't mention any of it."
EverGuard4 (11:03:48 PM): "Understood."
EverGuard4 (11:04:10 PM): ("Yo no hablo Englais")
Dragcrell (11:04:25 PM): (^_^)
Thematrian1 (11:05:09 PM): A kilometer away, you see a school bus lying on its side, stretched across three of the four lanes of traffic. Some ES officers are standing in the fourth.
Umbrafer (11:05:21 PM): Sonofa.
Umbrafer (11:05:31 PM): Is there any traffic ahead of me?
Thematrian1 (11:06:09 PM): Hm. Sensors
Umbrafer (11:06:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 3 2 2 1
Umbrafer (11:06:27 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 3 6 2 4 1 1 4
Umbrafer (11:06:30 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (11:07:02 PM): none that you can see
Thematrian1 (11:07:13 PM): certainly none between you and the bus
Umbrafer (11:07:30 PM): That was what I was looking for, damn it. Ah well.
Umbrafer (11:07:39 PM): How far back is the nearest car behind me?
Thematrian1 (11:09:00 PM): ~300 feet
Umbrafer (11:09:32 PM): Hm. In my professional opinion, is there any way I can let it pass me that doesn't look suspicious as all hell?
Thematrian1 (11:10:16 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 1 3 5 1 2 1 3 2 3 3 2 5 2 5
Thematrian1 (11:10:35 PM): It would be natural to slow down in this situation. If the driver behind you doesn't, good enough.
Umbrafer (11:10:37 PM): I'll take that as a no. Maybe a yes if the answer was no.
Umbrafer (11:11:40 PM): Ok
Umbrafer (11:11:44 PM): I am teh slow
Umbrafer (11:11:50 PM): Doing exactly that.
Thematrian1 (11:12:27 PM): easily done. The driver behind you also slows, but not as quickly. He's going to hit the barrier maybe 30 seconds ahead of you
Umbrafer (11:12:46 PM): \/\/007.
Umbrafer (11:12:55 PM): Going to wait and watch what happens with that.
EverGuard4 (11:14:30 PM): Jon and I will brb
Thematrian1 (11:16:52 PM): The other car, a singularly nice racing machine, approaches the overturned bus. It slows to a stop in the far left lane, in front of the cops.
Umbrafer (11:17:07 PM): Zoom in, taking a very good look at what goes down.
Thematrian1 (11:18:23 PM): An orkish man steps out of the racer and approaches the officers. They converse. Mr. Racer waves his arms around. The cops are unimpressed.
Umbrafer (11:18:58 PM): "Uh, oh…"
Thematrian1 (11:19:07 PM): He walks back to his car, the two of them following. Ten seconds before you have to slow, or not
Umbrafer (11:19:44 PM): *Slowing, at the moment* "I don't think running the barricade is going to work."
Thematrian1 (11:19:58 PM): The police are peering into his vehicle. One of them opens the trunk. Five seconds
Umbrafer (11:20:29 PM): "What do we have on us? Aside from the ATGMs, that is"
Dragcrell (11:20:59 PM): "Umm well besides your guys play toys?"
Umbrafer (11:21:14 PM): "What I wouldn't give for a good helo. Even a T-bird."
Umbrafer (11:21:29 PM): "Or a missile launcher"
Umbrafer (11:21:39 PM): "Vehicle-mounted"
MilesMk1 (11:21:53 PM): "I have my assault rifle loaded with AV rounds..."
Dragcrell (11:22:23 PM): *snorts* "Hell lest you guys dont have to fret about being shot on site."
MilesMk1 (11:22:53 PM): "Still, I don't think we should try to blast our way through just yet, especially since they have air cover."
Umbrafer (11:22:59 PM): "Yes, we do have to fret about that."
Dragcrell (11:24:15 PM): "so what can we do sence this ways blocked other then try and run it or bluff our way past?"
Umbrafer (11:25:02 PM): "They might let us go back… fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck."
MilesMk1 (11:25:15 PM): "Yeah, all I have to worry about is getting arrested, being put through some cut-rate surgery to cripple or remove my cyber, then being thrown in jail."
Thematrian1 (11:25:26 PM): You have to stop now, or not.
MilesMk1 (11:25:41 PM): "No way to turn around..."
Umbrafer (11:25:48 PM): We're stopping. I can make full speed in some ridiculously short amount of time anyway.
Thematrian1 (11:26:01 PM): The Ork is holding something out to one of the policemen inspecting his vehicle. The angle makes it impossible to see what.
MilesMk1 (11:26:08 PM): "Should I at least *try* to hide the guns?"
Umbrafer (11:26:14 PM): "Yes. Yes yes yes."
Umbrafer (11:26:42 PM): *Hastily stuffs stuff in hidden places*
MilesMk1 (11:26:49 PM): *takes off his helmet and tries to hide the guns as well as possible*
Thematrian1 (11:26:55 PM): Where are you stopping? Behind the racer, in one of the other lanes, where?
Umbrafer (11:27:05 PM): Behind the racer.
Dragcrell (11:27:11 PM): "what about me sould I try and pass off as a family pet?"
Umbrafer (11:27:17 PM): Far enough back that I can make a fairly uninterrupted acceleration.
Umbrafer (11:27:29 PM): "I… person or pet, whichever you're more comfortable with."
EverGuard4 (11:28:05 PM): "Stay human."
MilesMk1 (11:28:06 PM): "If they're not awakened, they won't care... Do you have ID? If not, I'd say pet..."
Dragcrell (11:28:27 PM): "well the mage well notes I'm not human Rock kinda hard to hide that."
Umbrafer (11:30:39 PM): "If the shit goes down, do we go quietly or go out in a blaze of fire?"
Dragcrell (11:30:41 PM): "this well be fun" *chages in to fox form and trys to look cute and harmless*
EverGuard4 (11:31:03 PM): "I believe you use the designation 'mundane' for the others... if they expect a number of individuals other than the number found, we may encounter additional difficulties."
Thematrian1 (11:31:44 PM): The Ork climbs into the racing vehicle.
Umbrafer (11:31:59 PM): Where does he go?
Umbrafer (11:32:09 PM): Also, how thoroughly did they search the vehicle?
Dragcrell (11:32:48 PM): *looks at Rock and snorts then moves to a out of the way area*
Thematrian1 (11:32:57 PM): Not terribly. Under the seats, and so forth.
Thematrian1 (11:33:08 PM): What, if anything, are you doing with the Stratos?
MilesMk1 (11:33:12 PM): "I have no desire to be put through the system... Like I said, one conviction and I'm done professionally."
MilesMk1 (11:33:44 PM): "They don't let you keep Wired Reflexes in prison."
Umbrafer (11:33:51 PM): Put the unarmed one in front. stuff them over to the side. (we're so fucked)
MilesMk1 (11:34:10 PM): Are any of the cars trying to turn around?
MilesMk1 (11:34:19 PM): The ones behind us and Mr. Racer, I mean.
Dragcrell (11:34:38 PM): *chages mind and moves to Rock and cruls up beside him as if Rocks his owner*
Thematrian1 (11:34:43 PM): Looking back, you see a set of headlights turning on the highway. The median is raised, he's not trying to cross it, he's just heading in the wrong direction down the highway.
MilesMk1 (11:35:03 PM): Does anything happen to him?
Umbrafer (11:35:04 PM): That's… interesting. Any reaction from the cops?
Thematrian1 (11:35:09 PM): The search seemed pretty thorough.
Thematrian1 (11:35:18 PM): The cops are getting out of the racer's way
Thematrian1 (11:35:22 PM): Looking under the seats.
Thematrian1 (11:35:26 PM): For a one minute search, I mean
MilesMk1 (11:35:44 PM): Right... What about the guy who turned around, though? Any explosions?
Thematrian1 (11:36:18 PM): You see his tail-lights slow, then stop. This is most of a mile away, in the dark, so roll Perception for more.
Umbrafer (11:36:28 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 6 2 1 1 3 2 5

EverGuard4 (11:36:57 PM): (jk)
MilesMk1 (11:37:01 PM): I see nothing.
Dragcrell (11:37:16 PM): *pirks a ear up and enjoys the petting*
Thematrian1 (11:38:00 PM): No, no you don't. There aren't any explosions though
Thematrian1 (11:38:56 PM): The police are out of the racer's lane. It proceeds smoothly through the barricade.
Umbrafer (11:40:13 PM): "Should I do the talking, or do you want to pretend to be the driver?"
MilesMk1 (11:40:55 PM): "I think you'll be better off doing the talking... Besides, I'd have a hard time pretending to be the driver since you took out the manual controls." (didn't you?)
Thematrian1 (11:41:12 PM): The police close up behind it, watching you
MilesMk1 (11:41:16 PM): (If not, scratch the second sentence.)
Umbrafer (11:41:31 PM): (Don't you have a datajack?)
MilesMk1 (11:41:39 PM): (Yeah, I do.)
Umbrafer (11:41:42 PM): (And I didn't actually remove the controls)
MilesMk1 (11:42:11 PM): (But you're still better at talking your way out of things than I am... Or did you want me to be the driver, so you could try to distract the cops?)
MilesMk1 (11:43:00 PM): "Hey, Rock... Are any of those policemen magicians?"
Umbrafer (11:43:02 PM): (My thinking was that if you did the talking I'd be ready to get the van out of here while you dive in more easily than I could dive in while you drive away)
EverGuard4 (11:43:35 PM): "One."
EverGuard4 (11:43:43 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 6 4 5 1 1
MilesMk1 (11:43:44 PM): (Oh. Sure, let's do that... Just give me the registration, I guess.)
EverGuard4 (11:43:49 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (11:44:28 PM): *switches positions with Alex if necessary, so he can get out on the driver's side*
MilesMk1 (11:44:42 PM): Anyone have any last-minute ideas?
EverGuard4 (11:44:50 PM): (sec)
Umbrafer (11:45:23 PM): *Swaps seats with Blake, keeping the vehicle plugged into her datajack in a subtle fashion* "Try to get out and close the door behind you if possible. Make sure they don't think you're a threat… screw it, you know this already."
MilesMk1 (11:46:07 PM): "Should I leave my gun in the car?"
Thematrian1 (11:46:22 PM): (Plugged into her datajack in a subtle fashion?)
MilesMk1 (11:46:25 PM): "Guess so, otherwise there's no point in even trying."
Umbrafer (11:46:31 PM): "Probably. It's more likely to turn them hostile than anything else."
Umbrafer (11:46:48 PM): (Trying to run the cable in such a way that it doesn't obviously lead to her)
Thematrian1 (11:46:59 PM): roll Stealth
Dragcrell (11:47:03 PM): *Ruffles his fur at Blakes question then settles back down next to Rock*
MilesMk1 (11:47:33 PM): "What's our story? We do maintenance of security drones? God knows I have enough electronics tools in here, but if we do, why do we have four people in here?"
Umbrafer (11:48:38 PM): "Freelance security company called in for special consultation and going home now?"
Umbrafer (11:48:45 PM): "Or is that just too close to the truth?"
MilesMk1 (11:49:10 PM): "Hell, at least it's plausible."
Thematrian1 (11:49:16 PM): One of the cops is approaching your vehicle. He's short and heavyset, with a bushy beard.
MilesMk1 (11:49:23 PM): "Relatively speaking."
Dragcrell (11:49:32 PM): *barks low a the sound 4 people*
Thematrian1 (11:49:32 PM): The others are standing back, hands on their weapons but none drawn, yet.
MilesMk1 (11:49:35 PM): (BTW, I do ditch my gun.)
Thematrian1 (11:49:44 PM): (Noted)
Umbrafer (11:49:50 PM): "Blake"
Umbrafer (11:49:52 PM): "Don't die."
MilesMk1 (11:49:56 PM): "..."

Umbrafer (11:51:07 PM): Going to try to force myself to feel calm, possibly slightly concerned.
MilesMk1 (11:51:20 PM): "Uh... Good evening, officer?"
Dragcrell (11:51:38 PM): *lays ears back and looks up at Rock then back in the direction of the mage*
EverGuard4 (11:51:48 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 5 3 4 4 6 6 4 3 5
Thematrian1 (11:51:58 PM): "Hello, son. As you can see, we're having some trouble here."
Thematrian1 (11:52:28 PM): "We need to search your vehicle."
MilesMk1 (11:52:40 PM): "Yeah... Is everone ok? Kind of late for a school bus..."
Thematrian1 (11:52:53 PM): He frowns
Thematrian1 (11:53:56 PM): "We're asking the questions here, son."
Dragcrell (11:54:00 PM): Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 4 3 5 6

Dragcrell (11:54:17 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (11:55:04 PM): "So, if you'll turn off your vehicle and open all the doors, you can be out of here in a few minutes."
Umbrafer (11:56:14 PM): What's the start time on the van?
MilesMk1 (11:56:32 PM): "Yeah, ok." #Shit... Nothing we can do but let him.# *reaches in to "turn off" the car and open the doors*
Umbrafer (11:57:08 PM): Pending answer to my question, I'll kill the van's engine.
Thematrian1 (11:57:30 PM): (I'm honestly not sure. Let's say a simple action to start.)
Umbrafer (11:57:53 PM): (\/\/007. Electrical system still running.)
Thematrian1 (11:58:10 PM): He doesn't seem to notice. He gestures a few of the officers forward.
Thematrian1 (11:58:18 PM): Three approach, including the mage.
Umbrafer (11:58:49 PM): (Don't mind us, officer, we're just smuggling illegal immigrants…)
MilesMk1 (11:58:59 PM): Any of them look wired?
Dragcrell (11:59:02 PM): ((lol))
Thematrian1 (11:59:15 PM): If so, they've got triggers and have their reflexes off.
Thematrian1 (11:59:36 PM): "Now, open the back doors."
MilesMk1 (11:59:42 PM): (Our only chance is if they're so worried about the bugs they'll let something like this slide rather than get into a fight.)
Umbrafer (11:59:52 PM): *Pop*
Umbrafer (11:59:58 PM): (Still, then we
Thematrian1 (11:59:59 PM): The back doors swing open.

MilesMk1 (12:00:54 AM): (Better than shot at the checkpoint... Perhaps we'll be the first SR group to actively try to break *into* Bug City ;) )
Thematrian1 (12:01:44 AM): "Good, good. Now, step out of the vehicle, Mr...?"
MilesMk1 (12:02:10 AM): "Blake."
Thematrian1 (12:02:28 AM): the three spread out: the two mundanes walk around the left side of the van, while the mage joins Blake's officer on the right
Thematrian1 (12:02:39 AM): The mage is moving somewhat jerkily
MilesMk1 (12:03:00 AM): *steps out of the vehicle*
Thematrian1 (12:03:12 AM): The mage gives you a once over.

Umbrafer (12:07:03 AM): Disengage the jack, then roll down the window
Thematrian1 (12:07:39 AM): As the mage steps around the door, his feet get tangled up and he falls. With a spasmotic jerk, he hurls his flashlight down the highway. It stops fifty feet away, shining merrily
Thematrian1 (12:08:02 AM): He rolls part way under the van as he falls, then whacks his head on the undercarriage as he tries to sit up.
CirclMastr (12:08:07 AM): (That can't possibly be good for anyone)
Dragcrell (12:08:09 AM): ((wow that is one messed up cop))
Thematrian1 (12:08:11 AM): "Please step out of the vehicle, ma'am"
Umbrafer (12:08:29 AM): *Steps out, staying within lunging distance of the dataline if possible*
MilesMk1 (12:09:13 AM): *looks at the spasming cop with a confused expression*
Thematrian1 (12:09:24 AM): One of the officers steps into the passenger side, and starts peering around with his flashlight
EverGuard4 (12:09:43 AM): *gets up* "'Officer? Something wrong?)
EverGuard4 (12:09:48 AM): (to mage)
Thematrian1 (12:09:57 AM): Groggily: "Aw, shut up."
EverGuard4 (12:10:14 AM): "Sorry sir. Just seems you took a nasty spill there."
Thematrian1 (12:10:40 AM): He looks at you directly, for the first time. He's perceiving astrally, and seems confused.

Dragcrell (12:12:18 AM): *yawns then looks at the officer tilting head as if trying to work out what he is*
Thematrian1 (12:12:21 AM): Alex: the cop next to you leans back against the van. He misjudges the distance and whacks his head against the side, though he manages to remain upright.
Thematrian1 (12:12:33 AM): Mage: "What the fra...?:
Dragcrell (12:12:41 AM): ((ROFL))
Umbrafer (12:12:42 AM): *Studiously refrains from commenting or acknowledging in any manner whatsoever*

Thematrian1 (12:13:30 AM): "So, Mr. Blake. What brings you here at this time of night?"
MilesMk1 (12:13:32 AM): *starts calculating distances and angles*

MilesMk1 (12:15:55 AM): "Work... We got called in to replace a defective Strato drone at the *any industrial or corporate complex he can think of in this direction* and run a check on the maintenance systems."
MilesMk1 (12:16:18 AM): (small industrial or corporate complex, preferably)

Thematrian1 (12:16:56 AM): The one in the van recoils uncertainly from Trickster
Thematrian1 (12:17:36 AM): His tough-guy aura of intimidation is spoiled when he bites his tongue on the last syllable
Dragcrell (12:17:43 AM): *gives the cop the hurt puppy dog look*
Thematrian1 (12:18:06 AM): The mage, even more confused, points to Trickster: "And what is that?"
MilesMk1 (12:18:13 AM): "I'm independent, but I do a lot of warranty work for MCT-Nissan... Might as well say I work for them, really."
EverGuard4 (12:19:24 AM): "Sir. With all due respect, I do not understand your questions."
EverGuard4 (12:19:33 AM): "Trix is our pet fox."
Dragcrell (12:19:54 AM): *goes back to scraching behind his right ear*
EverGuard4 (12:19:58 AM): "He's quite sweet, though he occasionally nibbles."
Thematrian1 (12:20:02 AM): Blake's officer: "Uh huh. Stay there, Mr. Blake, hands where we can see them."
Thematrian1 (12:20:20 AM): BO steps around Blake and levers himself into the van
MilesMk1 (12:20:27 AM): "All right..."
Thematrian1 (12:20:49 AM): Mage: "Get out of the van, you."

EverGuard4 (12:21:55 AM): "Who me?"
Thematrian1 (12:22:01 AM): As he starts to climb, his hand slips. He falls backwards out of the van and lands on his butt.
Thematrian1 (12:22:04 AM): "Yes. You."
EverGuard4 (12:22:15 AM): (trying to issue above comments without cheekiness or smart-alecknezz)

Thematrian1 (12:22:35 AM): Alex is presently alone
EverGuard4 (12:22:38 AM): *begins to rise, then trips*
Thematrian1 (12:22:52 AM): Yes. He definitely has some kind of reflex enhancer on now, though he didn't before.
Umbrafer (12:23:06 AM): Who, if anyone, has LOS to me?
Thematrian1 (12:23:26 AM): A single officer who's back by the barricade, blocking the lane. Plus their snipers, if any.
Umbrafer (12:23:45 AM): Going to look around for them, looking bored.
Thematrian1 (12:23:59 AM): Perception. What kind of eyemods do you have?
Umbrafer (12:24:06 AM): Other than that, staying near to the door. *Checks*
Dragcrell (12:24:07 AM): *sits and looks around*
Umbrafer (12:24:43 AM): None, actually. Just the microscopic vision, which isn't terribly useful unless they're a few inches away.

Umbrafer (12:25:23 AM): Well, if the TN to spot is 2 before total darkness mods, I see them ;)
Thematrian1 (12:25:35 AM): well, it's not. You detect no snipers
Umbrafer (12:26:08 AM): *Exasperated sigh, go back to looking around aimlessly in a bored fashion.*
EverGuard4 (12:26:24 AM): *begins exiting vehicle very, very, very slowly*
Thematrian1 (12:26:40 AM): From the one inside the van, speaking to BO: "Sir, they've got some serious hardware in here..."
Thematrian1 (12:27:25 AM): He adds to that some police jargon, security procedures or the moral equivalent to understand it

Umbrafer (12:28:08 AM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 2

Thematrian1 (12:28:46 AM): BO makes another try at getting into the van
MilesMk1 (12:28:54 AM): Hunting rifles, I tell you!
Dragcrell (12:29:09 AM): ((lol))
Thematrian1 (12:29:17 AM): BO peers with his flashlight into the back of the vna.
Dragcrell (12:29:35 AM): *walks up to BO and begins to sniff his leg*
Thematrian1 (12:30:19 AM): BO turns to Blake, and steps carefully out of the van. "Show me your permits for those drones, please, as well as the registration for the vehicle."
Thematrian1 (12:30:32 AM): something in his tone suggests that he doesn't think you can come up with the documentation

MilesMk1 (12:34:40 AM): #Ideas?#
MilesMk1 (12:35:01 AM): (I wonder if they'll shoot at as if we have Eagle Security personnel inside the vehicle with us.)
Umbrafer (12:35:21 AM): (Hostages is a very good idea, actually)
Dragcrell (12:35:30 AM): ((take it you mean the one thats pettng the nice pet fox ;3))

Thematrian1 (12:35:41 AM): Inside cop: "The, uh, dog is real nice!"
Thematrian1 (12:35:49 AM): Blake's officer: "That's great. Really it is."
Thematrian1 (12:35:50 AM): "Well?"
Thematrian1 (12:35:57 AM): He has a hand on his holster.
Dragcrell (12:36:13 AM): (cracks up laughing)

EverGuard4 (12:36:30 AM): EverGuard4 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 3 1 5 5 2

MilesMk1 (12:37:02 AM): *holds up one finger and looks expectantly at Alex and the glove compartment*
EverGuard4 (12:37:43 AM): me?
EverGuard4 (12:37:49 AM): I'll hold for now...
MilesMk1 (12:37:51 AM): I think so.
Thematrian1 (12:38:13 AM): Alex, you're slowly looking thruogh the glove compartment. It refuses to turn into a magic portal.

EverGuard4 (12:38:26 AM): EverGuard4 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 6 6 6 2 6

Thematrian1 (12:41:10 AM): You spot no snipers either.
Thematrian1 (12:41:32 AM): Way overheard, you hear a plane. You can't see it, though.
Umbrafer (12:41:45 AM): Estimate of how far overhead?
Thematrian1 (12:41:49 AM): No way to tell
MilesMk1 (12:43:06 AM): So, nothing happens to save us as Alex digs in the glove compartment?
MilesMk1 (12:43:26 AM): Where's a goddamn giant mantis when you need one?
Thematrian1 (12:43:28 AM): An incredibly tense few seconds pass.
Thematrian1 (12:43:41 AM): BO walks around Blake so that both Blake and Alex are in his line of sight

EverGuard4 (12:46:41 AM): *shakes the mage's hand*
EverGuard4 (12:47:06 AM): "Overall, competent performance."
Umbrafer (12:47:29 AM): *Blinks, wondering what the hell she just heard from the back*
EverGuard4 (12:47:45 AM): "Though you should stay out of my way, I have things under control."
Dragcrell (12:48:30 AM): *keeps the other officer busy with is cute pet dog act*
Thematrian1 (12:48:35 AM): The mage starts to speak, stops.
Thematrian1 (12:48:43 AM): The guy inside freezes, his hand on Trickster's fur.
Thematrian1 (12:49:04 AM): Blake's officer has drawn his gun. "Get out of the van, miss. Both of you, lie down."
MilesMk1 (12:49:38 AM): *quickly looks at Rock for any cues*
EverGuard4 (12:49:55 AM): "Under normal circumstances, I'd ask you to get me the hell outta this... but as I already mentioned... "
Umbrafer (12:50:11 AM): What angle is he at compared to me?
Thematrian1 (12:50:15 AM): MagE: "Who the hell...what the hell..."
Umbrafer (12:50:41 AM): More to the point: if I drop prone at the side of the van I'm on, does he have a line to me?
Thematrian1 (12:50:44 AM): Jon: who?
Thematrian1 (12:50:49 AM): ah, I see. No
EverGuard4 (12:50:57 AM): (strictly/with authority) "Officer: you will refrain from using the word "what" when you refer to me."
MilesMk1 (12:51:18 AM): How's BO reacting to this whole exchange?
Thematrian1 (12:51:38 AM): "Ericson, just what hell is going on back there?"
CirclMastr (12:51:40 AM): (I'm so lost on what Adam is smoking...)
Thematrian1 (12:51:43 AM): (funny you should mention)
EverGuard4 (12:52:25 AM): (No comment.)
Thematrian1 (12:52:29 AM): Blake, did you lie down as ordered?
EverGuard4 (12:52:30 AM): (Bitch.)
EverGuard4 (12:52:34 AM): (;-))
MilesMk1 (12:53:02 AM): Uh... Yeah, I suppose. But no way am I letting myself be handcuffed.
MilesMk1 (12:54:00 AM): (I mean, I'm not sure what's going on with the mage, but it doesn't seem to be of immediate help...)
Dragcrell (12:54:15 AM): *slowly slips from the one officer and walks to Rocks side and sits down next to Rock*

Dragcrell (12:55:12 AM): ((hehehehehehehe))
Thematrian1 (12:55:56 AM): Blake is on the ground, Alex is on the ground on the other side, one officer in the van, one officer mage out of the van, one standing near BO (he hasn't said a thing)
Umbrafer (12:56:23 AM): Holding an action to grab the datacable and slam it into my jack.
Umbrafer (12:56:34 AM): Trying very hard not to look like I've got an action held to do that.
Thematrian1 (12:56:40 AM): Mage: "Sir?"
Thematrian1 (12:56:46 AM): It's unclear who he's refering to.
CirclMastr (12:57:20 AM): (Why do I have the sinking feeling before a TPK?)
MilesMk1 (12:58:04 AM): *tries to see what BO is doing, and gets himself ready to knock his legs out from under him and jump in the van*
Thematrian1 (12:58:29 AM): GIC (guy in charge, more flattering than BO, God love him): "Come around where I can see you."
Thematrian1 (12:58:34 AM): He's clearly addressing Rock

Umbrafer (1:00:29 AM): (Damn, now I have to figure out whether or not it would be)
Thematrian1 (1:00:47 AM): (If it involves a connection to the van, it isn't. Otherwise it is. Was your internal?)
