EDIT::Applications are now closed.Bullets scream death as they fly past, mere inches away from ending your running career. The air about you is thick with ozone; the pristine, sterile walls charred from blasts of magical fire and lightning. The corpse of an elemental lies sprawled in the corridor in front of you, it's stony hide riddled with anti-tank rounds. The 'package' you've been sent to retrieve has lost her youthful exuberance, and is weeping silently next to you. Your medic attending to a sucking ballistics wound she suffered in her thigh, during the outbreak of the fighting. You and your team are holding a T-section corridor with in the very heart of the Ares enclave in Seattle, buying time for your hacker to find another route. It is, however, all that he can do to keep automatic security down.“You're out of time, omae,”
Your riggers ragged voice comes in over your commlink, his flying surveillance drones, only a little larger then the size of a dime, must have spotted another security detachment headed to flank down the T-section, leaving nowhere to hide. “Stick to the route as planned, we'll work on getting a distraction going, it may help.”
He pauses a moment, aware his message wasn't very reassuring. He then adds by means of condolences, “Don't get geeked out there, you still owe me two beers.”
Your heart sinks into your stomach at the thought of leaving cover and charging into the teeth of some the best trained and armed security forces that Ares corp script can buy. No other option presents itself. A little talk is in order for the fixer that arranged this run. You nod to the ork cyper-sam across from you, as he changes over to explosive munitions. A toothy, sadistic smile plays across his face.“Let's do this”
Nothing turns a day sour, like a run gone bad.I am assembling a team for action in Seattle. A run has gone disastrously wrong and it is up to the PCs to escape, evade pursuit, solve the mysteries surrounding the young girl they were asked to rescue, and discover why the multinational corporation Ares is so desperate to get her back. I already have four interested players, but am willing to GM for more. A large group will be broken down into multiple, smaller squads that would provide an opportunity for each character to shine in their given roles.
