My Ref is only 6, so no dodging from me. I'm guessing I get hit by both shots then for 12 damage, but my armor stops 11, so I take 1 damage but my armor is destroyed now, is that right? I saw an exploding dice on the attack, what does that change?

Goon 7's first shot hit Sergei for 3 damage which his armor absorbed but now has a value of only 6, Sergei dodged the second bullet
OOC:
Looks like Sergei dodged both shots
OOC:
I still disagree with this. Sergei is wearing light armorjack (SP 11) and the damage did not exceed that. Therefore, no damage to HP or armor ablation. SP is still 11.

Sergei sees goon seven pop up. Although the first shot bounces off of his armor harmlessly, Sergei dodged the second shot.

Now fully in the zone, Sergei starts to sing softly to himself as he takes a step backwards to increase the range to 13 m to goon 7.

"Oh baby, oh. Oops I did it again!

POP

"I played with your heart"

Sergei continues moving.

"Got lost in the game"

Sergei pumps two rounds into goon 7 (DV10 at 13m with the assault rifle). He then continue to move laterally to the extrication point.

Rolls

Shoulder Arms (REF) - (1d10+14)

(3) + 14 = 17

Assault Rifle - (5d6)

(66613) = 22

Looks like a critical injury based on two or more damage dice coming up 6. I’ll roll 2d6 to see which one, plus that’s 5 extra damage.

Rolls

Crit injury - (2d6)

(54) = 9

9 is a torn muscle so -2 to melee. Pretty lame for this fight but still got that 5 extra damage. So 27 total damage.

Mr. Brett thumbs his carbine to auto fire while moving as close as he can to 50m from the bodyguards. He then immediately sets into a standing fire position and lays suppressive fire on the group of geeks.

Comms:
"Quit fuckin around, get up and move. I'll keep em pinned. We're the fuck out of here!"

(Aiming towards the center I guess? I can't see any ranges on the map. Trying to get as many as I can. It's a 25m radius)

OOC:
Sorry for the delay, out of town for a wedding. Yes you take 1 damage but your armor is only lowered by 1 point. Each time damage gets through your armor it gets ablated by 1 point although I will house rule starting next mission that any hit ablates armor by 1 regardless of wether or not the damage gets through.

No worries, and sounds good. There are hit locations right? So theoretically if I had a helmet the armor would still be at max value?

all shots go to your body unless an aimed shot for the head is made and then the helmet armor comes into play

Ah ok, I'm probably thinking of the 2020 edition then.

Sergei puts down one of the goons to the tune of an old bit of classic rock with a backing track of auto fire.

Brett lays down a spray that sends everyone in the parking lot running for cover just in time for the squealing tires of Carlisle's armored ride to hit the scene.

You lot lookin' for a fuckin' taxi or what? Let's go!

Everyone piles into the ride and Carlisle peels out just before the sirens of the NCPD are heard.

"Gonna take a bit of a roundabout lads, hope ya don't mind."

Carlisle weaves through back alleys until he hits a major avenue and hauls ass to a parking garage. Burning rubber down four levels to the sub parking level, he whips into a spot and yells "Out!"

Jumping out himself, Carlisle pops the trunk and enters a code on a hidden keypad which causes the car's paint to shift from blue to green. The nomad then leads the way to a second car parked nearby which he fires up and waves everyone into.

With the vehicle dumped the ride back to the docks is a leisurely one and Carlisle stops for cyber-burgers on the way.

That wraps up the first chapter, it was designed intentionally short and sweet so everyone could get a taste of the dice mechanics and I could see how the hacking system would play out. Needless to say I'll have to bang out a few house rules before the next chapter.

Everyone gets 150 Improvement Points to spend on skills/stats/class abilities. This amount is also experimental since the book would have me give a lot less.
