Flesher's comms open up:
Apr 12, 2023 4:14 pm
hey Mr. Brett. Weren’t we told not to open this box under any circumstances? It’s tired of talking to you and now it’s trying my boundaries.
Flesher is seriously considering opening up the box.

OOC:
Sorry, I read Brett's post as Flesher for some reason. The box meant to reply to Brett. We can say there was signal crossing and both heard the reply
Brett's comms open up:
Apr 17, 2023 8:56 pm
Neon nods to Flesher, raves bike engine as he would like to take all power from its engine, over takes few cars... but then... also slows down and takes different route then Flesher, but tries to keep similar direction and drive parallel streets in order to look as separate entity, but also not getting very far from the rest of the group. But the thing he is most interested in is how drone and police are behaving? Are they following him, the Flesher car or have lost their track. He is still wondering if there is any tracking device in or on the box. If police will track Flesher, that could mean he is right...

OOC:
hey DM, you saw that Brett got in the car earlier, right? Just in case you've been waiting on me.
Apr 18, 2023 5:11 am
OOC:
I did, thanks
Sergei and Neon are able to weave between traffic and manage to slip a couple alleys fairly quickly on the bike, before they know it the only sounds they hear are the sounds of the city.

As Flesher turns down the street the drone keeps overhead and the sirens draw nearer...

Mr. Brett feels something peculiar in his heart. Something he doesn't at first recognize. A pain, something like.... sympathy.... For the AI. For it living a life of imprisonment.

"Alright, buddy. I'm going out on a limb here... Kinda ruins my pay day, but... I think you need space to be free "

With that, Mr. Brett opens the box and releases the AI.
Apr 19, 2023 3:44 am
are you doing what I think you’re doing, Mr. Brett?!
Flesher looks over both shoulders; one at the drone and the other at Mr. Brett as he opens the box. She mutters a prayer her ripperdoc mentor used to say.

The case opens to reveal an electronic device that resembles a slightly oversized agent with multiple I/O ports along the sides. A high pitched whine begins emitting from the shell of the case with increasing intensity. Various lights flash and flicker on the face of the device, suddenly everyone in the car hears their comms chirp:

Please throw the case out of the vehicle immediately.
Apr 19, 2023 11:27 pm
the case! the case! Throw the fuckin’ case out and keep the tech and let’s ghost them cylons!
Apr 21, 2023 6:48 am
Brett grits his teeth like a geeked out child being yelled at by his parents. He removes whatever hardware he needs to and ditches the case out the window.

He straightens his tie, licks his hand and fixes his hair before straightening his tie again. Then, while doing his best Patrick Bateman impression, he speaks to Numa

"Drive casual. We cant get held up, I have to return some video tapes."

In comms:
"Hey Red, try to stay with us and not too far off. We wanted two cars for good reason."
Apr 21, 2023 7:25 am
Numa looks to Flesher. "You heard the man, drive casual. And while we're on the way Mr. Brett, would you care to enlighten us on what the fuck that thing said to you that made you release it?"
Apr 21, 2023 7:31 am
In comms, regarding what Brett said:
"That was a plan from the beginning. With a bike I can easily keep some distance or come back to you... for a rescue... hehe;) "
Regarding Numas statements:
"Yeah, I'm curious too. But more importantly: are Cylons still following you after ditching the thing?"
Apr 21, 2023 1:19 pm
Don’t worry about us, we will be there to save pathetic skin when time comes.

Sergei chuckles and pauses a second. He comes back on comms more seriously.

You aren’t trying to fuck that thing Brett, da?
Apr 21, 2023 3:05 pm
Brett ditches the case and Prophet gets some distance from the thing just in time to see it explode in the rearview! The blast sends the two lead cop cars flying and rocks traffic in a chaotic mosh pit of sound and flame.

An EMP accompanys the shockwave and vehicles within 100 feet go dead leaving an impassable wall behind you. Unfortunately the drone overhead is out of range of the pulse and continues to follow.

Numa's comms chirp:
I have installed code into your deck that will allow you to transmit packet data remotely to a shielded antenna, this will enable takeover operations through the drone's I/O array.
OOC:
Electronics/Security check from Numa please
Apr 21, 2023 11:58 pm
While I can't deny that's impressive, I would appreciate you not altering my shit without my permission. Numa checks out this modification to his deck.

Electronics/Security Tech (x2) (TECH) - (1d10+12)

(4) + 12 = 16

fuck driving safe, choom! We gotta zoom!
Flesher guns it and makes two quick turns to try shake the drone. She’s still heading in the general direction of the hideout, but is very clear that she can’t bring that tech back with them.
Numa, be a good console cowboy and get rid of our tail, neh?!

The drone's SSID suddenly appears on Numa's access menu and a few keystrokes later the hacker has complete control of the drone's pilot function! Camera feeds and weapon systems are a few sub-menus away but carry individual security access.
Apr 22, 2023 1:44 am
"I'm on it. I've hacked into the drone. Let's do a quick scan and see how many are following us and if we can reduce those numbers."
OOC:
Want to identify how many targets are pursuing us and then pew pew them so that number reaches 0.

There are two cop cars behind the disabled police cruisers that are still operational.
OOC:
One more Elec/Sec check to access guns

Flesher give me a land vehicle check to weave through traffic
