What is the distance between the creatures and the elevator?
OOC:
1 Major, 4 minors
Major: Order the eye at the tunnel to reach and explode on the bugs
(if needed, because they are probably still following that order) Minor: Ordering the drones near him to follow him closely into the elevator
Rest: Keep to enter elevator and sent it up as soon as possible (with the other passenger if he try to escape that way too)
Current Edge: 2/5
Seriously what a day Hotaru quickly analyse the situation glancing is shared and recording gaze on the weird bugs, the gunwielding maniac (who at least wasnt shooting at him, that was almost surprising), the fallen passenger (hopefully just unconscious) and the progress of the elevator.

@Natto Got a weird guy here addressing me and shooting the bugs, doesn't look like one of yours. Elevator look like my best way out, but i'm worried about the commuter who crumbled.
OOC:
Flying eye has a accel of 15 and a starting speed of 0, so it'll travel 7.5m toward the bugs at its init and end with a speed of 15m/round. Exploding if it reach the targets.

OOC:
Wait, I knew we're missing something, drone initiative. @thevagrant could you roll them? Then I'll resolve the turns as they come up.

In the meantime, some relative distances. The two insects are relatively one-third of the way down the platform, that's almost exactly where Hotaru alighted, which was the third last train carriage. The insects themselves are 10m apart. Clint is about 50m away from Insect #2, from the end of the escalator, and 40m away from fainted Commuter #2. Hotaru is 10m away from the elevator, and 10m from Commuter #1, who is 10m away from Insect #1. Eye #1 was in the middle of the platform, and so is only 5m from Insect #2, and 15m from Insect #1.

Escalator/[Clint] - 40m - [C#2] - 5m - [E#1] - 5m - [I#2] - 10m - [I#1] - 10m - [C#1] - 10m - [Hotaru] - 10m - Elevator

DR of Insects is 8. Clint's upcoming attack will get Edge.

OOC:
Drone inits (the other drones are upstairs and not involved in the fight)

Edit: Does that mean that Hotaru need to have a Major action to enter the elevator this turn when the door open if he want to get in this turn?

Resolving Clint's turn.
Clint pushed past the two commuters in front of him on the escalator, who attempted to run past him, back up to the storey above. His speed propelled him forward, and he expertly shot at the nearer of the two strange insect-creatures.
OOC:
Range is Near. So Clint's Warhawk has AR14 vs Insect DR8. You gain 1 Edge. Clint's attack roll 6 hits. Insect defence rolls 2 hits. Total 4 net hits. Modified Damage Value is 8P. Insect's damage resistance rolls 1 hit. Insect soaks 5 hits because of [redacted]. Insect takes 3P damage.
Clint's shot was true, and his powerful revolver would have made short work of a regular person. However, the insect's body carapace seemed to deflect much of the bullet, leaving it hurt, but by no means seriously injured.

OOC:
Now answering @thevagrant's queries. It'll take a Minor action to move the Eye drone towards the two insects, in order to catch them both in the blast radius of 10m. A Major action is requried to Attack, ie. explode the grenade. Hotaru's move towards the elevator counts as 1 Minor. But activating the elevator (Use Simple Device) counts as 1 Major, Moving a group of drones towards the elevator (all same command) also counts as 1 Major. I'll let you decide which actions you're performing this round.
I see the guy. He's not police. Looks and sounds like he's doing the hero thing. Continue to the elevator.
Mar 12, 2020 7:10 am
OOC:
So, I can use a major action to give an order the drone so that they use their own actions to do it or I can spent a minor action to move them directly?
Mar 12, 2020 9:45 am
OOC:
Drones don't have their own actions. They continue to perform the last command you give them.

From p201, commanding a drone is a Major action. This is the same as p197, a single command issued to any number of drones is a Major action. In addition, p47, if a different command is desired for each drone, it requires multiple Minor actions.

So it looks like:
Eye moves and attacks - 1 Minor and 1 Major (although I admit I'm thinking whether it's more fair to simply count this as 1 Major and 0 Minor, ie. commanding an attack implies movement.)
Drones near you follow you - 1 Major

OOC:
So,

1 Major To Command Drone (the 3 near Hotaru) to follow him closely
1 Minor for additional order (Eye near tunnel) to explode on creatures
Keep 1 minor to move in elevator when door open
2 other minor on hold

That should leave enough time for the drones and passengers to follow in elevator before Hotaru activate it a the beginning of next round
Mar 13, 2020 12:52 pm
OOC:
Hotaru needs to move on his own turn, you can't keep the move. So let's just say he moves to the doorway of the elevator and will enter when the door opens.
Hotaru wasted no time in heading for the elevator as quickly as he could as the man who just arrived opened fire on the insects. The passenger who was speaking to him earlier followed suit, whimpering in fear. "Yokai!" was all he could mutter.

He did direct the nearest Horizon Eye slaved to him to target the creatures with its pre-loaded grenade, hoping to blow them up.
OOC:
Drones don't gain Edge, so we don't need to compare its AR vs the insects' DR, which is 8. Go ahead and roll for the Eye's grenade attack.

OOC:
It only has a Manoeuvring autosoft, so it isn't relevant. Hotaru has moved to the elevator. Now it's the Insects turn. The drones' turn are after this, and the exploding Eye is last.
As Hotaru and his drones moved towards the elevator, and the commuter some meters away, the insects were right behind them both, scaring the living daylights out of the whimpering Japanese man. Neither of the insects seemd to pay any attention to Clint at all, even though Clint had injured the first. In fact, as Clint shot them, he noted how their chitinous exterior seemed to deflect much of the force of his bullet. He was lucky to have gotten a shot in between the plates, and a lymph-like fluid appeared to ooze from it. Sometimes bullets were less effective than blades.

The first insect fired some sort of spittle at the rotor-drone which was carrying the case, and the second did the same at Hotaru.

While this was happening, the other commuter, the one who had collapsed earlier, began to get up. But as he did, both Clint and Hotaru could see, even through the gas, that he had changed. What was a human face now looked like he, or it, had the beginnings of compound eyes, like an insect, and small antennae were starting to grow out of his forehead. His mouth appeared to sharpen, like a proboscis, and sounds were trying to come out of it. Giive uzz back ourr blood! Not steal from uzz!
OOC:
Insect 1 attacks Rotor-drone for 3 hits, Insect 2 attacks Hotaru for 2 hits. @thevagrant You may roll your Defence Test dice pool for both. (Ignore the Toxin Resistance test for now. That was me accidentally rolling for the grenade.)

The two insects closed in on Hotaru and the rotor-drone, directing their gobs of viscous spittle at them. Neither managed to reach their targets, splattering on the nearby floor instead. The transformed commuter behind continued to call out to Hotaru the same words, "Give uzz back ourr blood!" Hotaru continued to head towards the elevator with his drones, and the lift had nearly reached his floor.

What happened next was utter chaos. The Horizon Eye Natto had put under Hotaru's control were meant for surveillance and crowd control purposes. When necessary, they could be activated to blow themselves up, releasing a cloud of CS gas over a blast radius. The Eye moved as accurately as it could between the two insects, and detonated. Tear gas began to fill the station in an increasing radius. Caught in the middle of the blast, the two insects began to writhe in agony and let out a high pitched buzzing, like the sound of hundreds of little bugs scraping over metal. The blast cloud also caught the Japanese man near the insects, who fell to his knees coughing and choking and throwing up. Hotaru had in his carelessness attacked an innocent man!

What have you done?! The urgent and angry voice of Natto immediately came over his commlink. Immediately Hotaru found that his remote connection to the two other Eyes and both Hornets was being terminated, land only Max and the Rotor-drone were still being controlled by him, for the moment. Your orders were to escape, not engage!
OOC:
Insect #2 takes 6 net hits and Insect #1 takes 3 net hits from the CS gas. Poor commuter takes 8 hits.
Clint is up next.

OOC:
Isnt that the guy who was controlled by the insect?
Mar 15, 2020 3:06 pm
OOC:
Nope, the collapsed commuter (#2) is different from the whimpering commuter (#1). #1 is the one who was speaking to Hotaru before the incident happened, and is the one who's been trying to follow Hotaru to the lift. He's whimpering because the insects caught up with him. #2 is the one who fainted when the insects arrived, and then stood up again, partially transformed, speaking loudly in an insect voice.
Btw if you'd like to contest Natto for control of the drones let me know. :P

OOC:
Is the cs cloud staying in the air or is it dissipating?...
Mar 16, 2020 1:32 am
OOC:
if the creature move 10 m to reach the guy, the eye would not have had enough time to reach them in one round with its 7.5m of distanced traveled.
