[Noëmie "Nyx" d'Orville - January 14^th, 2076 - Gates Casino, Bellevue, Seattle]

>>Team [Nyx]: Incapacitate, don't kill. We will need security when all this is done, and if we can get a deal with people already on site, it'll be better. Plus that way, we'll have a golden opportunity to get a deal on the cheap, seeing as they failed to protect the farm once.<<

Rousing himself from sleep at Kynos' message and alarm.  Maxwell stops to check in on Simone before treading outside.  Shadowing behind the driver seat where she waited, he crept up next to her and said.  "Rise and shine love.  Time for your part in this play.  We are to meet Ayato and Kynos outside."  Promptly exiting the van, the mage and surgeon reconvenes with the others.  Albeit with a little sluggishness to their gait.  One quick look was all he needed to work his spells.  Starting with the cranky elf.

No good let me try again.
Force 5 Improved Invisibility: 12d6t5 4
Drain Resistance: 11d6t5 3
Better.  Going to sustain that version and will take 1 Stun Box.
Remember that BGC will knock off one point of Force.  Not that it matters considering I got 4 Hits anyway.[/spoiler]

A second attempt on his invisibility spell was called for after his first felt lackluster.  Content with his work, Maxwell walks a few steps forward and places a hand upon Ayato's shoulder.  Weaving mana into a subtle defensive boon for the adept.

[spoiler]Force 4 Combat Sense: 10d6t5 5
Drain Resistance: 11d6t5 5
Force limits the spell to 4 Hits.  BGC lowers the Force by 1, further reducing the scored Hits to 3.
Going to sustain the spell.  Add +3 DP to your Physical Defense and Surprise tests.  Also you're guarantied a Surprise test no matter what.[/spoiler]

Sustaining all that magic had begun to takes it's toll upon the mage's mind.  Forcing him to use all of his mental reserves to focus on maintaining the spells.  Lest they'd collapse inward and dissipate.  Issuing an astral command to his spirit was paramount for the next step.  "Mourn, turn to me and conceal the four of us till I say otherwise."  Removing his hand from Ayato, he turns around towards the direction of the sniper nest.  Before leaving he says.  "I've done my part.  Now is the hour for yours.  Let me know if you need some extra firepower and I'll conjure a true nightmare."

Simone is taken from her reverie by the touch of the mage on her shoulder and she looks up and pats his hand. "I hope that we get a chance to repeat our performance after this is done.  Unless you are the fuck 'em and leave 'em sort?"

She takes her ax and her assault rifle from their hiding place and joins the others outside.  She slings the rifle across her shoulder and makes sure no is near her before swinging the ax about a few times to limber up.  She loves this ax and feels better already.  "Let's go do some damage."

[Kuirem]

Wheely raise his head from his commlink at Kynos signal. Still leaning on his car he retrieves his Ares from his holster and give a silent order to the drone by his side. The doberman starts fading in the dark, his chamelon coating  blending him with the surrounding darkness. The faint outline of the drone give little doubt for his purpose though, with an assault rifle sticking out from the front and a turret-mounted shotgun on the top.

"All right Kynos, I stay behind for cover fire if needed and let you open the way. If we can get to the control room even the Red Queen will have trouble to hack an unplugged device."

[Jack_Spade]

<<@Nyx: Your idea does you credit, but we are a bit beyond niceties now: They have beefed up security - thanks to our warning - and we will have to use the drones as is. I'm not out to murder everyone but neither am I willing to jeopardize our team or our payday. Our only chance to take them out is surprise and hitting them as hard as possible. That means spending only one shot or burst per person.

We are playing for keeps here - and I'm not particularly inclined to show mercy to a slaver operation either.>>

Kynos nodded towards Sovereign: "Thanks mate, now let's see how good those clowns really are."

With that Kynos made sure Ayato was ready, before they both started to move towards the Installation

Wheely let his team go first and almost lose sight of the two men, good thing he has their position from the Matrix. He let them advance a good 20 meters before going after them with his drone. Wheely is fully armored and move a bit more clumsily that he would like, he clearly doesn't have the training of the two gunners.

[spoiler]Sneaking210d6t5
I think I can keep the same roll for the Doberman since, at the moment, Wheely is controlling him directly. The Chameleon Coating gives -3 dice to all Perception Tests against the drone as long as it is not "running".[/spoiler]

@Ayato Kynos Wheely - You silently move like ghosts toward the bunker. Nobody seems to notice you or the doberman. The patrol are scarce and far between and you seem to pass them without problem. However, due to the late hour some small anti human mines in the land are at your path.

[spoiler]
Perception threshold 4 to notice the mines, if none of you spots them then one of you is going to trigger a mine. (whomever has the lowest score on perception). If one of you notice the mines and rolls the rest then roll:
reaction + edge (1) not to trigger a mine.  (borrowed from suppressive fire rules don't be mad )
 (For the non elves among you, lighting conditions are not ideal it is still dark.) 
At any case - either you spot the mines or you trigger them somehow.
[/spoiler]

@Irris, Nyx things seem peaceful relatively, the patrols are quite routine. At about 4:30 however there are some lighting at the house down there. Perhaps Devon has an early start?

@Simone and Maxwell - you spend the time in your van outside the perimeter watching the drones coming and going. At 4:00 a bike comes towards you on the road to the farm. You notice big B logo of 'Pizza Boom' in neon lights on the bike.

<<Careful now, that looks a lot like a trip wire. I marked it with an ARO...>>

[Kuirem]

Wheely takes some time to check the position Kynos gave.

<<Looks like mines. Not really scrapable unless you want to go back with explosives in the trunk, be extra careful where you step.>>

[spoiler]Since I'm behind and Kynos has indicated the position I don't think there is a need for an extra perception, here is the Reaction + Edge (good thing I'm human):

@Wheely Kynos, Ayato + (Irris and Nyx with line of sight).

As your faces are down trying not to explode a drone open fire. It is very loud - but it is not you who is attacked, it is the doberman not far from you. Apparently it was spotted by one of the roto drones, and their configuration is not very tolerant of intruders.

<<Damn it Wheely, get your noise maker away from us - now. If they go on lock down now we are hosed.>>

Kynos carefully avoided the mine and moved forward, ignoring the developing gun fight behind him.

[Kuirem]

Wheely just have to time to drop on the ground as his drone get torn to pieces. Swearing under his breath he quickly spot the culprint in the sky, a Roto-Drone. Seeing all the other drones around he lets it slip, at the moment.

[gilga]

@Wheely Kynos Ayato, Irris Nyx - with the Doberman's destruction there is a concentration of drones actively scanning the area around you. Irris can spot an armed patrol on a Gopher rushing toward the point of impact. For now you are undetected but you are not invisible - if you do not find a place to hide that patrol is going to see you - concealment or not. 

There are greenhouses nearby as well as few parked tractors 20/30 meters from your location.  The bunker is about 700 meters away, so you will have to either confront or evade the patrol somehow.

Iris has a clear shot on the five security guards on the patrol.
