Edgelord the Elven Mage smiles as he looks at his foe. He grins cockily at his runner team and says "I got this" as he makes an arcane gesture and eight spirits materialize. A broad spectrum of spirit types are represented, and even the non-awakened can feel the power radiating off of these massive spectral creatures. Edgelord was proud of his Force 8 spirits, even if they did take a bunch of downtime to summon and were a little expensive.
Finally, Edgelord closes his eyes and concentrates, power leaking from him as he summons up one final, massive spirit. He grips his lucky dice that he wears around his neck, a non-magical item that he swears alters the probabilities of success for difficult tasks like this. A soft tearing sound is heard as a fiery claw tears its way out of the astral plane, followed by the monstrous form of an elemental from the plane of fire.
"What is thy bidding, my master" it hisses, steam pouring out of it's mouth as it speaks.
"Follow me, spirits. Destroy any Renraku security personnel we encounter."
Edgelord strides forward, confidant in his spirit army. Suddenly an alarm sounds as they cross the outer edge of Renraku's land. Confused, the elf looks at his teams decker. "I thought you said there wasn't any sensors!"
"There's not! I don't know what we tripped! Let me scan again." A moment later, Plughead the decker looks perplexed. "Ok, something under the ground is sending out a signal, but the only thing its connected to is a photovoltaic sensor? But it's about 2 meters under ground."
"Crap. Glomoss." Edgelord muttered. Glomoss was an annoying magical plant that glowed in the presence of magic. "Well, I wasn't really planning to use much stealth anyway, so lets rock."
Across the Renraku compound, Renraku Security Mage Matt Anderson looked out the window in the direction of the alarm and scanned astrally. With a sigh, he grumbled to himself. "Don't they realize how fragging long it takes me to resummon these things? Seriously, this is nearly a week of overtime right here." With snap of his fingers, six force six spirits appeared. "Contain the spirit threat as best you can, and counterspell the mage. Backup will arrive shortly."
As the spirits sped off to delay the incoming spirit army and their shadowrunner backup, Matt mentally called a number on his commlink. "Dispatch, I have 9 high powered spirits coming in. Yeah, shadowrunners again. I need backup. How many spirits can you send on short notice? 18 more Force 6? Excellent. Yeah, 30 seconds should be plenty of time, the runners have just barely broken the outer perimiter. Thank you sir. Yeah, I'll summon another on the fly as extra support. I should be able to handle a Force 10 without too much trouble."
Matt sat back and took a sip of coffee. At least the company paid for the summoning reagents and paid him time and a half for the hours he spent summoning. He didn't understand how shadowrunners could afford to burn through those so fast.
