The organism is equipped with greater than military shielding and has no remote access modems. An EMP would also not be able to shut it down.

Mr Brett's smiles and pretends to blush as he removes a length of rope from his go bag which he connects to his lifting magnet

"Oh, Spaghetti. You always know just what to say to a lady..."

The solo then moves his doorknocker to the floor in essentially the same position and covers it with one of the dead guards' promasks

"Hey all you kids in the rear car, you're gunna have a visitor! Better hoof it up here! Double time!"

Neon continues to run towards the rest of the group... and don't even have to turn his head back... to feel that the borg is going after him. So he calls their air support once again:
So how is it going? Do you have eye contact with the train?!? As it looks like we will REALLY have to take "a French leave" from this party... soon!
OOC:
So how the situation look? I imagined it this way:
Car 1 (with Sergjei and Brett enterance way) Car 2 Car 3 Car 4 Car 5
Borg going -> empty Neon running as fast as he can -> Sergei and Brett ( preparing the cargo to extract) Flesher and Spacer (recovering )

Am I right with this?

OOC:
Sergei and Brett are in the third car with the cargo, you just moved into the third car to join them, Flesher and Spacer are in the fifth car.

OOC:
Thanks. So where is borg, than? :)

on the roof of the fifth car, very close to Flesher and Spacer (hint hint)

hey… space chick. Remember when I said we may need you to run? Yeah, time’s come, choom. Let’s vroom!
And at that, Flesher darts towards car 4 then car 3. She barely turns to see if Spacer follows.

Spacer shakily stands up, not quite sure what is happening. She takes off after Flesher, trusting that the other woman is leading her true. But then she remembers that the forward cars are still locked AND filled with halon. "Wait, I have to purge the cars!!!"

Hopping back into augmented reality, she sets to work pumping the halon out of the forward cars before getting to the task of opening the doors.

Shut the doors behind you! We need to slow that fucker down.

Sergei continues to work on securing the payload.

OOC:
I don’t think we really care about the forward cars. The objective is in the third. Should be trying to lock the doors and decouple the rear cars though.

A plan pops into Sergei’s head.

Listen up Chooms. Flesher and Spacer, get in this car fucking now. Shut the down between car four and five. Place door cracker in the place between car three and four. Shut that door two. Decouple cars and blow door cracker to decelerate the cars with the Tin Man. Easy peasy, sleezy wheezy. Now fucking move like your fucking skin depends on it.

Brett looks for a way to decouple car four from car three and moves his doorcracker to the spot over the the physical coupling device and ppaces a second over the front wheels of car four

Brett looks for a coupling between cars but the train is set up for total enviro-sealing and has no internal access to the linkage. He sets the floor and wheel charges and takes position by the cargo door to grab the incoming cable as the VTOL swings in close...

On shaky legs, Spacer remote accesses the node and purges the halon from cars three, four and five. The act also vents the nerve gas from the cars and with that Flesher, Spacer and Prophet (still wearing his anti-smog mask) make their way forward. Spacer shuts and locks the third and fourth car doors just in time to hear a massive THUD as something big drops down into the fifth car...

"Fucking shit, would you blow that damn car now?"

She begins pumping halon into the fifth car. While she knows it won't do drek to this chrome-dick, it makes her feel a little better. And it's much nicer in the local NET here...
Aug 7, 2023 7:55 pm
Fuck. We need to time this right or we are good as dogshit, da? Grab the objective and hold on. Me and Brett hook up. Once ready to go, you shut the access hatch and Brett blows the derailment charges. Hopefully we make chrome friend rattle like last bean in can.
Aug 8, 2023 5:49 pm
Spacer lurches forward, her meatspace body doing rather poorly given the nerve gas still fucking with her system. Her hands grab onto the cargo, and hopes to make it out of this intact.

"That resembles a plan Big Guy!" - Neon says while positions himself on the other side of the cargo door opposite to Brett to catch the other pair of extraction cables.

A little more nervously then before he calls VTOL pilots:
"What the fuck? How far are you? Doors are open. We really need to end this party sooner then later!"
Aug 9, 2023 1:10 am
The cables are lowered and the VTOL swings over the top of the train car so that the cable come within reach of the door.

From the rear of the train, the crew hears the sound of steel being torn apart and can assume the door to the fourth car has been breached...
Aug 9, 2023 1:46 am
Always the opportunist, Flesher grabs first at the cable and starts climbing up.
Aug 9, 2023 3:20 am
Mr. Brett keeps an eye on the door and grabs at a cable to hook up to the shiny new coffin.

"Hey, Spaghetti. Let me know when that thing is standing right in front of the door between the third and fourth car, yeah?"
