A Time for Secrets

LT: Looking over the list of enhancements and trying, fairly successfully, to view the list imposed over the visual of the plane in front of you, you notice that some of the enhancements are FAR from the "standard" upgrades available to one of these "Transport" vehicles. The plane looks something like a cross between a jet and a transport plane, although clearly the original body and design were on the transport side. The wing rotors were replaced entirely, not enhanced, with Vectored Thrust modules. They seem to be on a swivel, but that doesn't make much sense since there is no way that that vehicle has the structural integrity to maintain the strength needed for VT capabilities out on a wingtip! That said, all of the listed enhancements, despite their normally assumed impossibility, are accounted for visually. The strange looking product seems to be an impressively capable machine. And it clearly works, since it wasn't built here.
That said, it occurs to you that something as heavilly modified as this, they aren't going to want to let it go easilly.

With time running short, and resources being counted and recounted, Ashe was not happy with the odds of the situation. Driver, LT, and Kesslan, for their parts, were backing her up perfectly. But loss of life is NEVER the best way to win a fight, no matter which side loses life. Ashe was working hard to keep the frown of concentration off her face, but she was concentrating hard.
After a few more precious moments, an idea hit Ashe. Jack, the Japanese gentleman... - Why didn't I think of this before? Ashe thought to herself. She quickly activated the messaging queue, and scrolled back a few to the most recent note from Jack. She penned a quick response back to him.
Jack, Send what you've got. Help will be appreciated.
Knowing that his command of the English language is limited at best, she tried to keep it simple enough to be easily grasped.

When his commlink chirps with the awaited response from Jeanne, Jack took a deep breath, then looked in and then out, freeing him of his body for the brief amount of time that it would take to reach Jeanne and deliver. The glow of the Astral surrounded him as he oriented himself above his building, and then streaked out towards the military base. Assuming that every inch was not warded (he was counting on it), he would still have to find Jeanne in the midst of wherever she was, while tripping as few alarms as he could. The connection to the two spirits he had bound with a pair of services each were an individual sensation of dampness tied to him, waiting for his call.

As the colors of the astral blurred, halting once he reached the base, he attempted to locate Jeanne, remembering her aura from that brief look in the bar. Equally as important was getting an impression of their magical defenses, as it would do him no good to get killed before he could deliver.

OOC Note: BTW Gala, Dual natured beings don't shift between astral and physical perception. As per SR4A (which simply clarified the matter) under Dual Natured, they perceive both the Astral and the Physical plane at the exact same time. At all times. And they can't turn it off, which is why things like FAB III is so deadly to them.

As to Asensing, when I first made this char I had forgotten to add it, so unfortunately lack that particular ability.

Like Ghost i'll just wait to see what the perception roll turns up before posting IC actions.

Visual Perception: 1 hit
Audio Perception: 1 hit
Astral Perception: Glitch Not sure how that works with perception though?

OOC: Kesslan, I am not sure if we consider it a "house rule" or not, but I use perception in the same way in Astral as physical. Assensing involves learning about, or otherwise studying what you already can see... but perception determines if you can see it.
OOC: Line, I need an Assensing and a Perception roll.

Despite his best intentions, Jack's "1 minute or less" plan didn't seem to be working out at all. There were some good things working for him, in that after locating the base he discovered that there were almost no magical defenses at all. Apparently the base must be relatively unused, and mostly unimportant, because the modern army is VERY aware of the need for magical defenses regularly. Noting the relative security he and his spirits would have, Jack "flew" right down into the middle of everything in the back section of the base. Despite his proximity, however, to where he assumed (correctly) the team would be, he was unable to locate them immediately.

Kesslan was being continually vigilant. He kept his eyes wary, and darting from one place to the next. While he was looking around trying to locate any new threat almost as vigorously as trying to maintain his "role," a new threat arrived! One moment he was scanning the yard, and the next moment 3 clearly hostile spirits appeared right in front of the team! And, despite their clear numerical disadvantage, they looked ready for battle, and were perhaps only waiting for the team to get to them to start!

OOC: Wow... so you BOTH glitched on your Astral Perception rolls...!

On an instinctual level Kesslan just about dropped his masking and bared his astral teeth at the new threat, but that portion of him that had what more or less passed for metahuman intelligence stopped him from reacting in such a way. Instead he did what he could to eye the threat, all the while realizing that he may just be in for a world of hurt. He wasn't so great with fighting off things on the astral plane, so his only real hope was to hope the threats would materialize so they could be dealt with in somewhat more conventional ways. Still he tapped off a quick warning to the team 'Hostile spirits inbound, just popped up on astral.'

Ashe nearly missed a step at Kesslan's note. Nearly. She switched her vision quickly, noting that it was Jack, and not a "hostile." Thankfully. She switched back to the physical plane to shake her head slightly, using the oportunity to look around a bit. She turned slightly toward Jack and the two spirits, waiting until she was mid-stride before returning her vision to the Astral. Ashe hoped that Jack would notice her, and that she wouldn't have to do a thing to catch his attention, since she couldn't precisely free herself from her body at the moment. Despite the tricks she had pulled in the past, this was just very much the wrong situation for her to be pulling any of them now. Ashe fervently hoped that if Jack didn't notice her before, her forcing her way through him and his ghosts would be enough of a signal. Hopefully.
Ashe continued to walk that way, turning her head from side to side trying to play her role as well as possible while only half paying attention to the physical plane. Despite the pressure, and discomfort, that she felt while she forced the astral spirits aside, she was prepared for it, and executed the "attention grabber" without losing her step or having to side step. - That must have been quite an experience for Jack... Ashe thought to herself, again rienforcing her hope that he would realize who she was, and react appropriately!
Only a few steps later, and just about enough time for Jack to have realized, and begun reacting, they were at the plane.
"Thank you Captain. As loading has nearly been completed, we will wait for a few moments for your men to complete their duties and clear the plane. We will finish our review once they are done.
"While we are waiting, however, you may as well select the men whom you will choose to accompany us, and let me get a feel for them, hmm?" Ashe said with a self-assured smile. Her smile was the only part of her that was confident, however, since the "interesting" part was just about to begin.
"Of course Ma'am." The captain said, barely containing the smile he had at her clealry unclear thinking. She was going to let him keep around 2 soldiers?! Within moments, the two largest humans on the base were stading in front of the small team at Attention. Ashe gives them no more than a summarilly minimal once-over, dismissing them to Parade Rest with a flick of her wrist.
"Thank you Captain. Please, if you would, see to it that the loading is completed post haste. I would love to get out of your hair, and move this whole operation on with no more fanfare than is strictly necessary." She says, giving him a genuine looking smile. The Captain gave her a quick, but precise, salute, and trotted off into the cavernous hold of the aircraft. The aide and two soldiers remained with her and the group, standing to the side slightly. Ashe leaned back somewhat against the body of the aircraft, and switched her perception back to Astral, looking around quickly for Jack and his spirits.

It was a shock to stop directly in front of someone that was already present on the Astral, and Jack almost reacted badly, until he realized that whoever it was was not reacting in alarm. The Cat -- or at least he hoped that it was -- was regarded warily, then he was promptly looked at and walked through by Jeanne.. The jury was still out on how to feel about that. As it was, he was certain that his astral form, idealized as it was, would be rather distinct.

It was not everyday that a man-lion finds you in the Astral.

As they went, he had followed, and when she leans back, he reaches out enough to touch her aura, transferring the spirits and their services over to her. The two spirits to him were like the sensation of rain on the wind, a promise of "wet" in the back of his mind, he wondered what her perception of them was. It took only a moment to pass the 'link' over to her, the presences leaving his mind, and he gave her a respectful bow before vanishing, letting that silver cord pull him back to his body.

Ashe, being for all practical purposes stuck in her body at the moment, could only return the bow with a nod. Having just been transfered the fury of a tsunami, and the gentle patience of a river meadering across the plains, Ashe was grateful for the extra and expended effort. Watching Jack speed off toward his body, Ashe quickly "penned" a note to Jack, and the group, thanking him for his contribution.

Jack
Thank you for the spirits. Considering the lack of Astral preparedness this base is under at the moment, these will be immensely helpful! I will one of us will call you shortly after we have completed this portion of our intents.

Ashe stood up, abruptly, and looked around. Seeing that the bulk of the loaders were now filing slowly toward the administration building, Ashe realized that it would be better to be about it as soon as possible.
It was time. Flicking her fingers slightly as she began to create the final note to the team.


Eleanor's response was almost immediate. Ashe began to walk toward the hold of the plane, and met the Captain on his way out.
"Ahh, Ma'am, I was just on my way to get you. Right this way," He said, leading the way into the plane. Ashe caught Kesslan and LT's eyes both briefly as they moved onward.


OOC: Initiative Rolls: This is a surprise round, so post order is not entirely important, assuming you all stick to the plan sketched out already.

This was all happening so fast and LT was loving every second he like to be there in the moment. Kess's message had caught him off guard. For a moment he saw him self draw and blow the captains head off. Then reality snapped back in and so did his astral sight. He looked first for mages but he did it smooth no head darting then he caught a visual on line and his party in front Ashe they walked right through them if they were hostiles they would of done something.

Things like Line you sly dog went through his mind. This was one of the reasons he wished he was a real wiz with all that astral stuff LT felt almost trapped in his body. No matter! He watched the spirits take their places at Ashe's side. Sweeeet! he thought. And he went down to Def con 3. Then Jeannie's message came through. Back to Def Con 1. his role changed but in truth it was the same plan he had originally. when some one else was given the captain LT kinda took offense. then the job was his again.

He did not think the man was an easy target by any means. He just wanted to tell job he nabbed a captain on his own base. It would make old Job smile if he knew that. as an Ex-Mossad intelligence officer. The man had some kind of personal beef with the UCAS Military not the people. but he was sure that if he could take this guy well maybe job might even smile for once.

Initiative 9 dice = 0 hits Total = 9

Initiative 12 dice = 5 hits = 17

Kesslan backed down as he was warned of his mistake, though he soon had more than enough to direct his energy and rush of adrenaline towards as the battle orders went out. Indeed, with everything set into motion his super alert senses had him mentally racing. two large and capable soldiers. He knew he had the speed to take both. To the unaugmented he would turn into nothing more than a blur of activity and violence capable of ending a fight before it even started, to the augmented he could often still outmanoeuvre them. Few were as quick as his magic allowed him to become. Mentally he counted on the pair to have some sort of augmentation, and he worried that it would indeed be a match for his own reflexes, and there remained a slim possibility (Though not one he was aware of) that they could even move faster if they had move by wire systems. The question was how good of a defence could they put up? He was a reasonably decent swordsman and melee fighter, but his blows lacked real power. Of course for that they made up in finess but that might not be enough against a pair of well armed soldiers. Pistols then as he had previously planned. He then mentally calculated the odds, he could draw on both and try to take out each with a fastdrawn well aimed shot. Or he could focus on one, and risk letting the other arm themselves before he had a chance to take them out.

If these had been mere gangers his answer would be to just take both out at once, but these were soldiers. So he would focus on one then the other and trust that his speed would counter what ever advantage the other would gain as he focused on one target at a time.... or.. no that would be too much of a risk perhaps. Both at once then, if he was quick enough...

In keeping with there drop kick attack style. LT made his surprise move on the captain. But first not wanting to take any chances with the possibly cybered up Veteran. He put his unarmed magical fist and reached out for the captains neck he growled "Killen hands!" Trying to pull the man out and down. So that he could keep his foot on the vet's chest but could he out fox the captain...

EDIT: Incase it's relevant the pistols also have a built in silencer (Which also is harder to perceive than a removable silencer. If it's relevant I'll dig up the actual listing from Arsenal.)

Ashe whipped out her hold out pistol, placed the barrel against the base of the Aide's skull, and pulled the trigger. The Aide, being in a somewhat hyper alert situation, did respond slightly to the pressure of the gun barrel against his head. Despite that, it seemed as though Ashe had loaded the holdout with flachette rounds, and the Aide was certainly down for the count, and perhaps beyond help.
LT, having the somewhat unenviable position of being in the middle of the action, could hear Kesslan and see Ashe act all while he was drawing his fist back to land one on the Captain. The loud explosions of the bullets from behind were more than unnerving, and caused his otherwise well skilled fists to land in a somewhat less than optimal fashion. Despite that, the Captain was not even remotely prepared for the attack, and as he was turning his head, with a look of horror on his face, LT's fist connected with his lower back in a solid punch. The Captain, being a very fit man, and a soldier, was no stranger to taking a hit. However his eventual recovery will be, the Captain still went flying into the crates next to him, and crumpled, at least initially, to the floor.
Kesslan, dealing with somewhat more recently trained soldiers, was not quite as lucky as LT or Ashe. Or, perhaps, more lucky... His well placed bullets connected cleanly with one of the soldiers. However, the other soldier seemed to have been turning to do something or other just as Kesslan drew his pistol. That shot was neither clean, nor effective, at least from a kill perspective. That said, he was clearly hit, and bleeding. Further, the first (or, actually second) was DOA.

With the carnage started, Driver dashes off toward the front of the plane, and quickly disappears around the side of one of the stacks of crates.

Current count:
2 dead/incapacitated (Aide, Soldier 2)
2 down (Captain, Soldier 1)
Unknown... (we hate the unknown)

Ashe turns, ignoring the Aide at her feet, and focuses her attention on the Captain. Seeing his eyes flying toward the group, and the realization of the current situation dawning on him in his eyes, Ashe raises her left hand toward the Captain, and seems to concentrate. As she does this, the Captain lifts off the ground in front of LT, his head levelling off at LT's chest.
"Captain, I suggest you not do anything that could jeapordize your survival at this point. Ashe says to him quickly. Clearly, one way or another, the Captain's head has been conveniently located at just about the perfect location for punching bag practice for LT. If he's smart, he will consider, very carefully, his next actions. At least, that is what she seems to be hoping.

Kesslan, you see Ashe casting a spell of some sort. It becomes quite obvious what it is as soon as the captain starts to lift off. Also, based on her currect reactionary speeds, you have a fairly good idea as to what spell she cast on herself before. It would take a full-powered "Increased Reflexes" spell for any normal magician to be able to move as quickly as you are moving.

LT grinned at the captain, cracked his knuckles licked his left tusk and said "Give me a reason". For the briefest of moments he checks the area.

Audio/Visual Perception Roll: 4 Hits

Given that the first Soldier went down so readily Kesslan turns slightly to the second as he reels from the electrial shocks delivered by the stick-n-shock rounds and quite calmly shoots him again, one round from each pistol he carries, figuring that should be more than enough to incapacitate the man for some time. "We need to move." he says flatly to the others as he turns his gaze about to see if there are any reinforcements on the way. He was pretty sure his own shots would go unnoticed thanks to the silencers built into his pistols, but Ashe's holdout probably made an odd small pop that would have been audible elsewhere, though if they were lucky it wouldn't have alerted anyone. Still.. couldn't hurt to be careful..

Ashe cursed as an alarm went off. There was no way to mistake the sound, or the intent, of the "Air Raid" style alarm blaring through the surrounding area. Shortly after it started, it was turned off. There was a mild thump from nearby as the second Soldier hit the ground, clearly down for the count.
"No doubt the Pilots heard my holdout..." She said, glaring at the Captain, but likely only because he was in front of her at the time.
"I guess Driver has it under control in there... now." She says, as the shouting picked up from outside. Her eyebrow quirked somewhat as the sound filtered in. It sounded like a melee was already started. A look of confusion spread slowly across her face, replaced almost immediately by a look of understanding.
"It sounds like my spirits are making themselves useful. We don't have much time though." She says, as she starts to dash past LT and Kesslan back toward the open door to the hold. The Captain surges upward and slams into the ceiling with a nearly bone crunching force. On examination, he looks alive, and moderately conscious. It looks unlikely that he will recover his wits any time soon.

Kesslan and LT are both perfectly able to hear the sounds of shouting, and that it sounds like poeple are trying to fight something out there. Kesslan, once she mentions the spirits, you notice that they aren't with you all. Also, as she runs by, you notice her start to cast another spell. Which is puzzling, since she is sustaining 2 that you know of... and most Magicians are unwilling to sustain even 2 spells, let alone cast while sustaining them.

(OOC: 2/4 passes left)

With time running short, Kesslan is off at a run to back up Driver in his attempts to deal with the pilot. He for one had no desire to run up against a bunch of infantry in milspec and sporting heavy weaponry. At least, not when he didn't have the benefit of the same! As he runs he holsters one of his pistols in order to leave a hand free just in case, but he keeps a solid grip on the other with the intent to shoot the pilot too if need be.

Free: Run (STR4 + Athletics 1 = 0 hits)
Simple: Holster 1 pistol
Simple: Held

In his haste, Kesslan forgets that the flooring and layout are somewhat unfamiliar to him. He arrives, not out of breath but more off-balance, in the cockpit to find Driver wrestling with both pilots, clearly being physically overwhelmed. With both hands Driver is holding a pistol up toward the roof of the plane, and three of the two pilots' hands are trying to wrench it away from him. The fourth hand, that of the pilot standing in front of Driver, is pounding Driver's torso with poorly aimed hits.
To Kesslan, it doesn't look like Driver would be able to hold out for much longer, despite the effort he is putting up.

LT: as your head turns to follow Ashe toward the opening of the plane, you hear the beginnings of gunfire directed toward you all. You also head the destinct sound of ricochetting bullets inside the plane, and you realize that someone needs to put a stop to this immediately.

You all hear the whine of the engines of the plane starting to warm up.

Kesslan had actually expected only one pilot, he'd not expected two, but then he was also still getting used to this grand world metahumans ruled. None the less he simply reacted the only way he knew how in this sort of situation. With instinctual violence. Fortunately for the pilots his pistol was loaded with shock rounds that were unlikely to kill them (Though that possibility did always exist). As such he simply raised his own pistol at first one pilot and pulled the trigger before switching to the other and shooting at him. Should either still be standing he'll simply fire a second shot into them.

LT moves in position between Ashe and the incoming gun fire he brings both arms up twisting his wrist to the right then shaking them left twice, and opening his palms. They were quickly filled with his twin Rugar Super Hawks. Arriving via his arm slides. As his arms trained the area before him. He looked for targets, and yelled "Ashe get dem doors closed. The insides bullet proof or somepton we'll get shredded!"

LT took aim (last pass) at the closest shot he could find but only with one pistol. The other was held in reserve. He fired his hand cannon at the soldiers leg (upper thigh). Trying to stop him from moving in any further.

(edit ooc: there is a -4 to there armor ex-explosive rounds)

For a brief moment, despite their readiness and determination, Ashe and LT were stunned by the force reaction to the shots fired inside the hold of the plane. They came bolting around the side of a large crate, and right into the line of fire for more soldiers than they were entirely interested in counting! Neither of them allowed their wits to get too frazzled, however, as they were both well trained and quite used to the kind of situation they were in.

"Ashe get dem doors closed. The insides bullet proof or somepton we'll get shredded!"
LT shouted out over the din of semi automatic rifles being fired carefully in their direction. He was right, they were about to attempt to withstand an all-out assault on the door. Just the two of them.
"I can't, they're controlled by the pilots." She said, desperately. She stepped up toward the door, stuck her eye around the corner and recoiled immediately as a hail of bullets whined off the sides of the plane, and exploded into the crate behind them. Determined, she put her eye up to the door again, stuck her hands around the bend and a blinding streak of lightning extended from her palms toward the soldiers. The gunfire thickened again for a moment, drowning out the death screams the two soldiers she had struck.
LT, emboldened by her actions tried to mimic her care with his body posture. He stuck his eye to the door, and held his gun out around the side of the other side of the door from Ashe. He took one shot, nodding with both discomfort at having to take a life, and satisfaction with his success, as a bullet hole opened up in the neck of the first target.
LT managed to maintain his surprise when he noticed something else happening out in the yard as well. The soldiers were being attacked by something he couldn't see, but the effect was clear. Just as he shot one soldier, 2 more were picked up by an explosion of water about their bodies, and flew backward a ways before crashing to the ground. LT was so surprised, he almost forgot to pull his hand back after his shot. Almost.
"Driver! Close the hatch!" Ashe screamed into her 'link.

At the same time, in the front of the plane, Kess and Driver were in the process finishing off the two previous pilots. Driver was doing his best not to be killed in a situation far beyond his capacity when Kess dashed in to help out. 2 well placed shots from Kess, and both of the drivers collapsed bloodlessly to the floor, likely out cold for the next several minutes.
"Thanks." Driver said simply. Not one, in general, for simple statements, his sincere efforts were touching to Kesslan. Just as they bent to the corpse-like bodies of the knocked out pilots to drag them out of the cockpit, they both hear a garbled transmission coming through their commlinks.
"Driver! ... the hat ..." The urgency was clear, and punctuated by the gunfire which made it impossible to hear what she was trying to say. Driver looked to Kesslan, wondering what she might be trying to ask them to do.

Hoping beyond hope that they heard her up front, Ashe stuck her eye up to the door again, reached around, and allowed another slash of brilliant light to leap from her hands toward the attacking force. Since the soldiers had recognized that they were being resisted, they spread out slightly, and got lower to the ground. Ashe was only able to connect with 1 of the soldiers, but his shriek of pain was keening when LT put his eye to the door for a shot.
LT picked out his next target, watching in some awe as first one soldier went down in a smoking pile from Ashe's lightning, and then 2 more were smashed backwards by some sort of water explosion. He chose his target, considered him carefully, then stuck his hand around the door and pulled the trigger. Again, blood fountained from the chest of the intended victim and he collapsed. This time, however, LT was not shooting for free. Somehow, a bullet either pierced the armor of the plane, or ricocheted off something else. But LT felt the sharp burning pain of a bullet, a feeling he was all too familiar with, as it sliced into his midsection. Despite the blossoming pain, LT was a trained soldier, and this was his arena. He was determined not to stop and check the wound to see if it was serious or not. That can wait until we are sure that no more wounds would be inflicted.
The door hadn't started to move yet.
Ashe stuck her hands out and sliced into the attackers again with her blindingly bright streak of deadly light, this time eliciting 2 sets of screams. The look on her face was as if the lightning was hitting her, at the same time as them.

Kess: you heard what Driver heard - He is unsure of what to do, it is your action now. The rest of her message was too garbled by gunfire to have been recognizable. Your final shot was not taken, which means you have 1 simple action left in your IP. And, you're the last action of this round.
LT: I rolled your damage resist for you. You took 1 box of stun damage, as the bullet was unable to pierce your armor, nor much of your considerable body... You'll have to re-roll your Initiative at -1 (which will actually be a GOOD thing!!!!).
