Rather than the normal torrent of fire, O'Connor used short controlled bursts on the fleeing vehicle.

In the back of the car, Sammy tried again to summon a spirit.  This time she managed to get through, although her headache didn't get any better.
An air spirit materialised in the astral.
"Please go in that car," she said, indicating the shadow of the car in the astral, "and use your psychokinesis power to push the brakes and keep them pushed down."

[spoiler]
summon force 5 air spirit with optional psychokinesis power:
Sammy:7D6E5 → 2( (5, 2, 3, 3, 6, 1, 4→ 2 successes against 5) )#magic 5 + summoning 3 -1 wounds
use edge to reroll misses
Sammy:5D6E5 → 2( (5, 1, 3, 3, 6→ 2 successes against 5) )#reroll misses
4 hits

spirit resistance
Sammy:5D6E5 → 2( (6, 2, 3, 3, 5→ 2 successes against 5) )#resistance spirit

2 services
Drain 4
Sammy:9D6E5 → 3( (4, 5, 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 1, 6→ 3 successes against 5) )#drain
1S extra, for a total of 4

second action: give the spirit a command.  The spirit will act in the next round.  The psychokinesis power is like the magic fingers spell (p211 in the book).  What I want him to do is to get into the car and use that power to slam the brakes, which should be possible (braking doesn't require all that much strenght or agility).  I assume here that the brakes are still working in the same way as they do now.  If not, my character will probably know and I'll adjust my post.

The Snow Queen on the car roof sends out her white minions to get a toehold on the enemy network.  Carving, scratching, biting; they know they have limited time to do their mistress's work.


[spoiler]First IP, when it is Snow's turn.  First IP for Hack on the Fly: 10d6t5 3  3 hits is not too bad a start.

Second IP:  Second roll for Hack: 9d6t5 4  Ooh.  Not bad. 

third IP:  Third IP for Hacking: 8d6t5 4  Wow.  11 hits in three attempts is not bad.[/spoiler]

The first bullet out of O'Conner's gun stars the windshield, but the rest of the fire is lost to the weaving of the two vehicles.  In the Matrix, Snows minions make quick work of the commlink's defenses and writes her a legitimate account to to keep goat-boy from detecting her presence.

Sammy's hard won air spirit goes jetting off toward the other car, the woosh of departure providing a cooling effect to the sultry evening and tension of the chase.

(OOC:  Initiative for round 3, Sammy's spirit and Snow especially so we know which of them will be responsible for stopping the car.   )

[Mercy Merchant]

The Snow Queen gathers her minions about her, digesting the information they bring back to her.  She gives a brilliant frozen smile when she realizes that she is inside the system.  Asking for volunteers from among her snow-clad minions, the Snow Queen selects one to carry the special command to the car ahead of her and assigns others to keep the messenger safe.  Gathering strength, she blows frozen crystals in the direction of the target car, sending the messenger and his guardians off to do their tasks.

[spoiler]Send command: 10d6t5 3  Use Edge for rerolling  misses.  Edge for misses: 7d6t5 1  Sadly only 4 hits total.  [/spoiler]

It is hard to see what actually happens first, as the situation is occurring 30-40 meters down the road in poor light, but the engine on the jackrabbit seems to die at the same time it's brakes engage.  You do clearly see the driver's head bounce off the steering wheel and then fall from sight, and the car just miss eating the wall as it comes to a sudden halt. 

You slow at a much safer pace and come to halt at a safe distance.

[Mercy Merchant]

The icy Queen on the roof of the car maintains her vigilance and her control of the other car, waiting to see if her minions are needed for other tasks.

O'Connor immediately jumped out of the sedan, through the window. He yelled to Bacchus, his quip dripping with sarcasm, "Ready to meet your biggest fans?" He switched his machine pistol to full auto, and advanced on the car.

[farothel]

"Hey, bullet storm," Sammy yelled as she also got out of the car, "make sure we can still ask him questions and he should be able to answer them."

She followed O'Connor, ready to drop a few stunbolts if needed.  She knew, or at least strongly suspected, that O'Connor was one of those who had a lot of bullets in his riffle, not with a name on it but with 'to whom to may concern'.

[HydroRaven]

Clem got out of the BMW after she had shut it down, leaving the door open as she pulled out her handgun from her holster. She approached the car from the opposite side O'Connor was, pointing her weapon at the driver side, ready to fire at the first sign of resistance. "Shoot to incapacitate, Con" reminded Clem as they were getting closer to the vehicle.

[Thvor]

Sam followed Con, holstering the Roomsweeper and pulling out his more familiar Self Defender in its place, scanning the car for any potential signs of danger.

[Crossbow]

You approach the car carefully, ready to duck back if the guy decides to make a fight of it.  When you reach the car you see Bacchus, holding wadded napkins to a heavily bleeding nose as he lay across the seat.  He is not interested in fighting at all. 

He mumbles "If you guys want an autograph just hand me a pen."

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor gave an annoyed huff at the sight of the cowed Bacchus. After all the effort, the confrontation was rather anti-climatic. He popped the door open, "Out." He glanced to the others, "We actually might want to get a few autographs from him. Famous killer drek sells for bank."

[Crossbow]

The goat carefully slides out, still holding the napkins to his face.  O'Conner notes as he does so that he is wearing an underarm holster with a Warhawk still buckled in and quickly can relieve him of the piece without issue.

As he is being disarmed what you said sinks in and he says, quite alarmed,"What do you mean KILLER?  I haven't ice'd anybody!"

[Mercy Merchant]

Snow does not believe that GOD is looking around out here, but it does appear that her decker skills are not really needed right now so she bids the towering Snow Queen farewell and slides back into her body.  She shakes her head for a minute to get fully back to the here and now before climbing out of the car.  Seeing the slightly bleeding man on the ground, Snow reaches for her medkit and approaches the rest of the group.  She approaches Sammy, as Con seems to be in charge of the questioning.  She speaks in a low voice so as not to interrupt Con.  "Say, that was a good idea with the spirit.  It really came through for us."  She lifts the medkit.  "Is this a place for a Bad Con/Good Snow scene?"
