Seeing one of the intruders falling back, Lorraine continues to approach slowly.

OOC:
Squadfather: I'm using the first three letters of your callsigns to mark the tokens. Deacon is GHO.

Windyridge: I have no information to give you so it looks like I'm spending 2 action dice. Nice way to clear me out early. I have 7 left. Angelique is the agent with the enemy, though, so I'm going to let you hang with Lorraine.
Vincent, it looks like the jeeps are empty, but there's exhaust, so they're running. The headlights are off, it's just parking lights going at the moment. The single shot that's loosed misses, but if your plan is to spook them and let your agent escape through 'capture', it's going well!

Deacon, you're close enough now to be able to tackle the slow one if she doesn't put on a burst of speed. Angelique, you're far enough behind to be able to feign almost anything in the dark and have it be believable.

Angelique pretends to stumble and falls forward, then clutches her ankle.

Deacon sees one of the enemy stumble and fall. With a burst of speed, he sprints up and launches himself at the target.

Vincent calls on the radio, "Swissknife here, I see their jeeps - engines are on, but no other enemies in sight - if we manage to extract that Agent running with them, it might be best to let the targets escape. Sabotage failed, base not alerted - everyone's happy."
May 7, 2021 12:15 pm
Lorraine shrugged, and turned on her radio. "Keep things low-key, and we've done our job? Sounds good to me."
May 7, 2021 12:50 pm
Gene quietly closes up on the grappled one to aid.
May 7, 2021 1:40 pm
Ferret seeing Angelique stumble also prepares to help if needed, running towards the target, gun drawn.

This focus on the one allows the rest to get to their jeeps, and there's a bit of a pause as no one has jumped into the driver's seat of one of them. Did you tackle the driver? The pause is only momentary. One of the unknown men swaps seats, guns the engine, and they're off. You'll just have to learn what you can from this one.
OOC:
End of combat. Assume you get away without being seen. Where do you go? Base, safehouse, local hotel or something? Feel free to RP the interrogation out as long as you feel you want to. I've given Speed the info she knows. Speed, if you need it again, PM me.

I would say the nearest safehouse?
May 11, 2021 2:07 pm
It's not much of a house, but it's safe. The small warehouse is empty, save for a table, some chairs, and a fridge stocked with food and cheap beer. The lights overhead are dim, and sunlight tries to take up the slack, filtering in through the translucent windows along the top of the wall where rocks or time have left holes.
OOC:
You guys can do this in-character (my preference) or Angelique can just recap for you.

They sit the woman at the table. They would have searched her for weapons, removing any she might have on her, before driving here.

Vincent stands across the table, leans across towards her.
"So... this is gonna be awkward. Tell us why was your transponder on our systems, when our mission brief for this operation only had the five of us in the field? And... WHY the heck were you running with our targets? I can tell ya now, this isn't looking too good for you, lady..."

Ferret can see her fear and thinks she will talk, but just for the effect, he trains his gun on her head.

At least it's warmer in here. I thought I was going to lose some toes and the tip of my nose, he thought.

Deacon stands there, slightly off to the side, watching the unknown woman. Letting the others do the interogation, he simply watches for any hostile act.
May 11, 2021 7:10 pm
The woman remains calm, in spite of the gun trained at her head. "My name is Angelique Williams," she says in English, with no trace of an accent. "I have important information to share with your superiors. It is urgent that I get in touch with them."
May 11, 2021 10:05 pm
"We'll see about that. Maybe you want to start from how you got involved with an enemy sabotage cell, back there - and... where did you get that transponder id. They don't sell them in 7/Elevens, you know?"
OOC:
@GM: did the transponder have a numeric code/tag that we can verify with the Agency? Only Agency operatives would have something like that, right?

OOC:
I guess we shouldn't just plug her with a shot in the head and move on ....(innocent look)
Anyone with any medical skill take a look at her leg. Seems she didn't keep up with the herd. Gene much prefers it in here out of the cold.
May 12, 2021 7:15 pm
"I was working undercover within their cell, but I've gotten all the information that I could, so I need to give it over to your superiors. Call and ask them. Your superiors, that is."
May 12, 2021 7:35 pm
And Angelique you are quite lucky that I didn't get a fine shot off earlier or we might not be having this conversation. He is assuming someone is making a call soon as he is making chatter and sizing up Angelique and her story.

I have a kit and the skill. Ferret takes his first aid kit out of his bag and kneels in front of Angelique, examining her wound.
