"Ayla"^*, bnc commented dryly, as she found out that they have already been just a stone's throw from their target.
"Seems like we're slowly approaching our finals, boys and - me. I'll double-check the place, then I guess, we let our Torrent flow...

Once we arrive at the place, bnc'll take a closer look at the icons there - if there are any.

^* youth slang for "Irony of Life"

Slobbertooth nodded, putt he van in gear, and started the team along their way. He figured they should get their getaway vehicle as close as was safe, considering how many people seemed to have an interest in its contents. Note to self: Find out why Triad's care about my custom Yamaha Raiden assault rifle.

Once he got the vehicle to a decently hidden location, he killed the engine, and moved to the back. "Alright, time to get in our professional criminal costumes." Slobbertooth donned his helmet and respirator, and began doling out weapons and feeding ammunition into his weapons.

He tossed the HK Urban Combat, and its spare magazines to bnc. "It's holding Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot rounds, so be careful no to geek one of us with it." He holstered his Ruger Super Warhawk,  Slung his HK-227 over one shoulder, and an Ares Alpha over the other.

"Ready to go when you are."

[spoiler]Total weapons on Slobbertooth atm.
 - Ruger Super Warhawk loaded with Gel ammo. 1 spare speed loader with Gel ammo. 1 spare speed loader with APDS ammo
 - HK-227 loaded with Stick n Shock ammo. 1 spare magazine with Hollow Point ammo. 1 spare magazine with APDS ammo. 1 spare magazine with regular ammo.
 - Ares Alpha loaded with Gel ammo. 1 spare magazine with EX-explosive ammo. 1 spare magazine with Stick n Shock Ammo.
 - Grenades: 1 flash bang, 1 smoke, 1 thermal smoke, 1 high explosive
 - Survival Knife

Yeah, that should probably be enough. 

Remind me to make two drain tests later. I think I used agi boost earlier without making the necessary drain rolls.[/spoiler]

[Volker]

bnc catches the gun and smiles. "I got my Tommy myself, but I gotta admit this gun looks mucho malo. Let's fetz!"

She dons her chameleon suite and takes a deep breath. Holstering her Tommy and slinging Slob's Urban Combat around her shoulder, bnc gets ready. "Oh, one final touch..."
She unzips one of the small plastic bags in her boots and removes one of the small candy-like crystals, before she zips it close again and stuffs it away.
"Time to party, bitches. I'm in bastante grando soundtrack for some rainy fire, sempais!"

[Sabato Kuroi]

After Torrent puts on his chameleon suit and makes sure his Savalette Guardian is loaded he turns to the team and nods.

"Fifteen steps"

He gets out of the van and takes a moment to focus his inner magic

Better mask my magical presence.The twins might be near.

[spoiler]Torrent uses the masking metamagic.
For any opposing tests against assensing checks my dice pool is 7.If it turns out to be an extremely important test feel free to use Edge.I think I got two points of Edge (assuming we managed to rest before the meeting with Tanja).

Agility Boost: 7d6t5 5
Damn that's more than I can handle on a drain test.Can only use 4 hits anyway because of my augmented maximum.Lasts for 10 Combat Turns.

Sneaking (Limit 8 ): 21d6t5 6

Perception (Limit 4): 10d6t5 4
 [/spoiler]


He enters the shadows and approaches the Warehouse.

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth looked over at Krestov. "Just catch up with us when you've got your gear on and you're ready to go."

Slobbertooth advanced alongside bnc, keeping his distance from Torrent, with his HK-227 at the ready.

[spoiler]Sneak [9]: 10d6t5 4

Perception [8](5+3)]: 14d6t5 2

I also need to make a couple of drain tests, and maybe have a first aid check later (depending on whether I take stun or not). I've used agility boost  a couple times without making the necessary drain tests for them.

Did we bring Scary Spice and the Sunkid with us. If so, someone needs to keep an eye on them. [/spoiler]

[Jack_Spade]

The Sunkid said: "Aye. I's wait out 'ere by's the car an keep an eye on things. Scary, you's made this mess, you's go with them an helps them sort it out."

"No need to be that grumpy about it. We've found the stash again and it wasn't to hard."

"No thanks to you's. You lot's be careful. I's got the distinct feeling that them Ying-Yang mages an there's foo-dogs be close by. I's feel it in my water. If you's see them, shoot them even if it's maybe an illusion."

Scary Spice just stuck out his tongue and got out of the car.

Seattle, the Docks May 6th, late evening

The huge warehouse had no light of it's own. Only the glaring headlights from the nearby overpass illuminated in unpredictable flashes the grounds. Trash littered the ground with lot's of broken glass, crumbly concrete and deceptively sharp edged rebar showing through. 12a's door was closed with a heavy duty chain and lock. And despite it's appearance, no part of the walls seemed rotten enough to grant easy access.

From the matrix side of things it was a bit confusing: Drones and their icons flitted across the sky but only a few cars came and went within the 100m radius of reception. Beside the team, no other active gear seemed to be on the premises.

[Sabato Kuroi]

[spoiler]Assuming my approach was uneventful
I'll use my Motion Sense to catch any movement behind the door (7m radius)
Motion Sense: 12d6t5 7

If there is no movement I'll try the lock(I guess the agility bonus hasn't expired yet)

Locksmith (Limit 6): 14d6t5 6

[/spoiler]

[Volker]

bnc stays close to her guardian, relying on his ability to guard him and on the chameleon suite to keep her hidden in the first place.

[spoiler]Is the door accessible through the matrix or is the mechanism fully mechanical?[/spoiler]

[Jack_Spade]

The door lock proves to be a purely mechanical solution - and not a particular cheap one at that. Still, at a guess it would not take more than a few seconds with a microwelder to cut the chain.
Torrents movement sense registers a few rat sized movements, but nothing more inside the building

[Volker]

"Hm. I'm good with explosives, but that might be too loud. And with chemics, but this might take too long. Someone's got a more ... straightforward approach? Someone's got something to melt it down?"

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth put a finger to his ear more to signal that he was using the team's comms than any actual need to hear better.

"Hey Krestov. We need you to take your big boot and apply it directly to this door."

[SgtBoomCloud]

Krestov had once again remained quiet as the team transported to where they believed Space's shipment of goods lay.  As they sorted out their equipment, the troll kept his gaze forward, his hands automatically checking mags and weapons.  Any careful reading of his facial features would denote the unease he felt.

But, there was no point in a living wall if everyone was in front of it, so once Krestov was ready, he was out of the van and rejoining the group, Crusader in holster, helmet on, shield in his left hand, Alpha nestled in his right.  Looking to Slobbertooth, one could almost see the slightest grin on his face, perhaps in memory of the last time he kicked in a door.

"Da."  was all he said before stepped up to the door.  Two steady brraths, the troll swung his knee up into the air before bringing his heel down on the lock, a sharp exhalation of breath the only sound from him as he connected...

[Spoiler]Unarmed vs. Door: 12d6t5 5
15P damage [/spoiler]

[SquirrelDude]

Slobbertooth nodded and took position near the door as Krestov slammed his boot into the door. He gently nudged Torrent away from the door, and handed him a smoke grenade. "I'll follow behind Krestov. We go as soon as the door is down. Pop that smoke if you hear gunfire or follow in after us. Stay in contact bnc.

Slobbertooth then closed his eyes and focused and made sure everything was in place.

Low-light flashlight on? Check.
Smartlink on? Check.
Stock extended? Check.
HK-227 readied? Check.
Wolf's Magic is flowing? Not yet.

Slobbertooth took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought of the hunt as he tried to bring Wolf's magic into himself. He figured the stress and excitement of the new gear was clouding his mind, though, as he couldn't seem to do it this time.

[spoiler]First Those drain tests I need to make.

Drain Test 1
Agility Boost 1
Body + Willpower (4): 11d6t5 5 \o/

[spoiler]+1 Reaction (+3 in hot sim VR), +2D6 Initiative Dice due to Golden Mirror. Her ability to judge situations might suffer slightly under her good mood

[Jack_Spade]

Reistance: 20d6t5 10

Krestov smash: 12d6t5 2 12 dmg
Reistance 2: 20d6t5 11
Krestov smash 3: 12d6t5 3 13
resist 3: 20d6t5 9

[/spoiler]

It took Krestov surprisingly three heavy kicks before the lock gave in and parted for the party.

Heavy plast crates were stacked high on the floor, containing - as far as the team could see - mostly useless junk and rubble. To the east, about 25 m away the office and break rooms were visible, there windows cracked and curtains closed.
Rats scuttled among the shadows, complaining in high pitched feeping about the intruders. Tracks in the dust showed where not long ago a heavy truck had moved in and out of the building.

Following those they moved first straight north for 30 m and then a sharp turn west, moving in a slalom course through the crates.

And there it was: A forty foot long, red container with the faint smell of the sea still clinging to it. The seals showed it to be still waterproof and its doors were locked and unharmed.
Scary beamed: "Well guys and gal, it seems like the work paid off. Now, all we have to do is..."

"Surrender your weapons and we might let you live."

The voice had come from high up on the crates and sure enough the silhouette of two people became visible. The two asians - a man and a woman wore black suits and black sunglasses, both holding riot shotguns with drum magazines.
"You have greatly angered Mr. Feng and he wishes your death. We may grant you your lives if you lay down your weapons now and leave the one called Scary Spice behind - he still owes us some answers. Especially, where that old Kitsune is hiding."

While Slobbertooth and Krestov stared, Torrent and bnc had the distinct impression that there was something wrong - or rather wronger than two people holding riot shotguns that had appeared from thin air.

[spoiler=For Volker and Sabato Kuroi only]
You both realize this is an illusion, as you can see through those figures.
Torrents motion sense also notices now four objects moving towards your position behind a crate to your left.
