Kereina relays the same lie to the new comers, hoping it will still fly. She adds that they were told to dump the contents into the water supply for best results. She also sends an affirmative signal to her passenger, best to have a back up plan should things go sideways. Between the spirit on defense, hopefully some slowed guards from the lightning ball, and the pair of heavy hitters waiting in the wings, she prayed things would go their way. But those elementals concerned her still.

The team prepares for combat.  All are tense... Weapons are ready.... Magics are barely contained....

The redneck at the car window would like Miller time.....  What do you say to him?

[CraterShip]

Hoi, it's some kind of new water additive fertilizer, bacterial, supposed to help fix nitrogen, or some such. I dunno, I'm just the delivery girl. Boss man said pour it into the water source, something about needing plenty of water to activate the bacteria.

Drek, I hope this works...

[biotech66]

Roll the dice and hope!  It's time for more edge...

In OOC... Looks like we'll be rolling initiative next

Alf can't help but think "What are the odds of this working twice?"  Then it occurs to him "I bet these guys don't have very sophisticated communications ... what happens if they can't speak a warning?"

With that thought he lowers his window, and prepares to drop a silence spell over the van at the first sign of trouble.

[biotech66]

It is the trouble time.  time to roll that init....let the games begin!

[Beta]

As gunfire rings out before he can cast a silence, Alf makes a quick change of plan.  Mentally he instructs his spirit “Please disable those people who are currently not in or on a vehicle, but are near the vehicles.  Nobody can make life as difficult for people as you can!”  Spirit instructed and flattered, he then grasps the slagged piece of metal around his neck and rushes to drop a lightning ball on the two spirits -- although as he casts it he can tell he rushed too much and he feels the spell spin off target....

[biotech66]

The man standing next to the car looks at the driver, squints a bit, and says Say something fishy is happening here...maybe we better radio this in...

All hell breaks loose as the back of the van opens up and gun shots just start rinning out in the dark.

The elementals are unaware of what was about to happen...

The gunmen hammer the one elemental to the point it falls apart into rubble.  The second one is still standing tall...

The elemental rushes up to the car as fast as it can sinking into the earth as it moves.

The mage sends out a ball of lightning on the two, its off center, but hits the dirt where the elemental might be  Lightning crackles along its surface, but doesn't appear to do damage.  Another spirit appears and beings to move toward the  earth looking for a fight.

The drive slams the car into reverse.  He clips the worker, not badly, but enough to knock him flat on his ass.  The guards open up on the van, but the van easily takes the punishment.  The paint job won't be cherry the window might splinter, but there isn't bullets in your head.  Drones spin up as fast as they can from the roof of the van.  They see targets....

Through pass one!  Post pass two!

[Beta]

Frustrated with its feeble breath attempt, Smoke-in-Your-Eyes attempts to grab one of the guards and fill his lungs with smoke rather more forcibly.

[biotech66]

Under a hair of gunfire and a spirit grabbing them, the guards are down-one dead and the other choking.  The other guards are far away.  They will get here sooner then later, but you do have time to get to the facility.  The workers are bolting in all directions.  What happens next.

out of initiative as the people who could kill you are down.

[Beta]

As fast as he could, Alf  created an illusion of an attack helicopter,  up high and off to one side a bit.  His time in the military pays off here as he can make a reasonable stab at the appearance and sound.  He has it slide a bit to one side and turn a bit, like it is searching out new targets, and every few seconds has it spit out a burst of bright muzzle flash from its mini-gun.   He mutters on the team channel "Let's move quickly, before they figure out that our 'air cover' is an illusion."

Once he has the illusion firmly in place, so that he can sustain it with only moderate difficulty he looks around out the window, and seeing that the choking guard has already fallen unconscious, he thanks Smoke-in-your-Eyes and let's him depart.   Then he opens his astral eye and looks around to see if it picks up on anything that his regular vision did not.

As the van jolts back toward the dome he things to add "We need to remember to plant that fake evidence, if we can."

[Herr Brackhaus]

Marcus picked up the clip of APDS rounds he had ejected in the middle of the firefight, all the while scanning his surroundings for more opponents.

"Copy that; get the canister out of the van, I'll provide cover."

Shouldering the assault rifle, the samurai stalked across the fields of vegetation, stopping only to make sure the guards were dead before hoofing it to the entrance where the rest of the crew were busy unloading their cargo.

Walking up to Alf, he padded one of several concealed pockets on his chameleon suit. "I've got the sample, now let's find out where we need to drop this stuff. Take point, I'll bring up the rear."

[CraterShip]

Kereina watches in admiration at the speed with which the others were able to take down the guards and spirits. She was glad she wasn't against them. Once the threat was gone, she popped open the back of the vehicle and helped unload the cargo.

Let's get this inside and into the water, quickly, before anyone shows up while we're carrying it.

[Irn0rchid]

Carefully tracking the elementals as her partners in the van talk to the security guards, Skate is not at all surprised to see bullets come flying in from the side as Marcus opens fire on one of them. Sighing, she takes careful aim at the other elemental and sends an APDS round through what appears to be its back, causing a spray of brown material to plume in front of it. Whatever she hit must have been fairly critical as the earth spirit unravels into nothingness. Scanning the rest of the scene through the scope, it looks to be clear until her heart jumps into her throat when she hears the distinctive sound of a heavy chopper way too close. After Alf's explanation she responds, "Frag it! Heads up *before* creating the illusion next time, eh?" Once Kereina mentions going in, she asks, "You guys want me to cover your butts out here or hustle up and come it? Should just be an in and out, no?"
