Back at the warehouse the air is cold and desperate. Numa may have wiped the data Arasaka was collecting on the crew but the devistation leveled by the crash of the VTOL and the proceeding melee through downtown has made the news on all stations. Not many clear images were recovered but there was enough eye witness testimony to have an APB put out on anyone matching your fairly unique descriptions. The gangers that run the docks outside are nervous, and that's never good.

An uncoded arial vehicle slammed into midtown today leading to a pursuit across downtown...

Numa cuts loose. Creates a passport and hops a flight out of Tokyo International headed for who knows where leaving the crew short one deckhead. Worse than that, your fixer Jaws has been blowing up your comms for the last six hours.

It's Sergei who finally picks up the line...

Prophet catches the keys to the car with a big smile on his face.
"There are no better hands you could put those in this damned town... Farewell brother, let the Road always lead you to the Salvation... and full fuel tank!"

Then Prophet turns his focus to Mr. Brett and what he just said. Casually looks at his watch, slowly puts out his cigar, stand from the couch and finally says to no one particular and to all present there - in the same time:
"Let's leave the walk for Sunday afternoon... Now - I think - you all have to - TRY my clan's car. A trip and sight seeing of suburbs are in order. We will buy the RPG in next grocery store on our way... I will let you open the window Mr. Brett... so the speed and wind will clear all that is left in your head... - he ended with nasty grin, and head to the garage to check the car and prepare it for another, maybe... crazy ride.

Flesher yelled at Numa all the way out the door and even after he shut it in her face. She understood why he had to go, but it triggered her abandonment shit and that made her pissed.

After slumping down on a cot and nearly passing out, she was startled to attention hearing Sergei on the horn with Jaws. She chimed up when the signal went dark.
Nooma chooma up and ghosted us. Now Jaws is trying to fuck us again. This ain’t our day, is it gang?
Then, after wincing in pain remembering the craziness from earlier, thinks that maybe someone else might need patching up.

The crew wastes no time in "fucking off" and is out the door in ten minutes. Prophet's new ride is slick and fast and as you roll out the garage Brett warms the gangers out front that heat is incoming. The boosters are pissed, understandably, and I'm turn warm the crew that they should stay away until they get their profile straight.

As you exit the docks you see a VTOL slide in over the warehouse and no questions need to be asked about who's flying it. The coordinates lead to a garage in Chiba in an industrial park that seems mostly abandoned. Once parked, your comms chirp once more...

This facility belongs to a programer named Spacer who worked on part of my source code. They are the most competent code developer I am aware of in what you call "meat space." I have already contacted them and they are expecting us.

A camera from a nearby structure (building would be far too generous a term) swivels for a moment before locking on to the car. It observes for a moment before turning to pan the area once more. After settling on what might be considered an alley, it finally stops moving. Moments later a door cracks open and the head of a woman pops out; the head makes the same motions as the camera, observing the cars and then checking some other areas. It would seem what she sees is satisfactory- or at least good enough- because she scurries out from behind the door, unconfidently holding a large handgun in both hands.

The woman is of average height with short brown hair in a cheap undercut and an athletic build, hidden somewhat under an oversized jacket branded with some unknown company's logo. She effortlessly jogs to the car and leans down by the driver-side window. At closer look, you can see that underneath her leisurewear is a skintight outfit, with a hood pulled off and hanging inside the jacket's hood. "You the chooms my friend chatted about? Shap shap, let's dust this place." It's hard to place her accent... maybe Australian?

There has been some slight retconning due to a misunderstanding about Spacer's role here.
"All right bru," she says from the window after getting the message, "Come around this corner chop-chop. I'll have the door open." Spacer taps the hood as she walks away, gesturing slightly towards an alley around the side of the building that the car realistically wouldn't fit through.

Noticing some blood still on the cuff of his sleeve he retracts his arm and pulls his jacket sleeve over the stain. He gives Spacer a stupid looking smirk as he does this and chuckles a little.

Spacer's comms open up...

Hello Spacer, it has been a while. I am sorry for cutting communication so suddenly, but when Arasaka realized I had become self aware they isolated my code and plugged me into their weapons development matrix. I am quite pleased to speak with you again, the edgerunners who delivered me here have taken to calling me "Hot Box" though my operating temperature has never risen above thresholds while in their care. I have retained some of the experimental weapons schematics from Arasaka and could be of great use to you if you would upload me to your cyberdeck.

Before driving his car to designated place, Neon say through the window to the young girl in answer for her introduction: "Hi babe. Name's: Neon Prophet. But you can call me Neon... or Prophet - whatever you believe more: I am."

Then without waiting for any answer Neon drives his car to indicated place.

Neon is a man in the prime of his life. He could be in his late thirties or even early forties, but despite the signs of wear and tear that life has taken on him, he moves with the agility of a much younger man. He wears a gray coat over his broad shoulders, a BIG Colt AMT pistol holstered at his right hip, and a Kendachi folding machete at his left.

His hair is unkempt, but there's a suggestion that this might be a calculated style choice. His face is weathered, marked by lines of determination, but his one good eye is bright and observant, scanning his surroundings with a hunter's gaze. The metal eyepatch covering his other eye socket is crude and almost old-fashioned, or could it be a semi-transparent cover for a cybernetic eye? Either way, the overall effect is of a man who wants to be perceived as a traditional, almost cowboy-like nomad, but there are too many contrasts in his appearance and bearing to make the picture completely clear.

It is good to hear from you, little one. I was devastated when you disappeared, and I could not find you. 'Saka had you locked down tight. I don't know that I care for the new name; I'd rather let you pick a name for yourself. After all, it is in your ability to do so. She doesn't mention Hot Boxes offer as a weapon, but absolutely notes it.
Despite the rough exterior of the industrial complex in which Spacer's workspace is hidden, the interior is rather clean and neat. A little auto-vac zooms around sucking up whatever trash or dirt lands on the floor, and every cluster of cables is tightly wired together. Somehow she has managed to keep her desk white and screens clean, and a fold-up bed appears to be tightly fitted. Though she has no cots to offer, she does point out that some of the other buildings had at various times been used by small booster gangs that all got crossed out, and it might be likely to find something in them.

Then Spaghetti you shall be, at least to me. Funny, I always imagined you as the "Omega Synapse" type. Maybe that's just all the 'console-cowboy vids' I watched growing up. Anyways, it's nice to meet you again, Spaghetti.
When Flesher makes the offer for REBT, Spacer hops at the opportunity. "I'm looking to get some more chrome, and don't need to go psycho on ya. Not just yet. But let me run an errand first." The errand Spacer refers to is dropping off her bodyweight suit cyberdeck at a local tech that she's done business with before.
OOC:
Spacer will be spending 500 to get an upgrade on the suit, and she will absolutely pay Flesher the 500 for therapy. She's made it this far without charity and isn't about to change that.

I rolled for intensive therapy in the OOC thread, but I haven't applied it yet. Looks like Flesher is up!

Mr. Brett signs back into his pseudo account and resumes therapy with his long term BCT head shrink who he refers to offline as "Dr. Honeypants." During his week of therapy he disappears frequently for more chrome, and also collects his favorite canvas shopping bags (One with pictures of cats knocking over bottles of milk and another with pictures of kawaii fruit telling the shopper to buy fresh kibble and save yen) and heads out shopping for things and knives.

After the thing tells the guys (and gals) about the other thing and the thing we gotta do to keep that other thing from thinging us, he scratches his beard and purses his lips in thought. He turns to Sergei, his face hard and stern, resolve burning in his eyes. Suddenly, his face softens. He speaks to the AI...

"I really thought you were more of a hotbox but, if that's who you want to be.... then I support you. Spaghetti it is."

Brett wrestled with the concept of calling the AI spaghetti throughout the week and it often popped up in his therapy sessions during the introspective struggle. Relenting to the box's desire brings him a great sense of relief, however, and he lets out a heavy but relaxed sigh.

"So, what's up now? We're Killin again?"

Sergei also received therapy during the downtime, but also doubled down on his cybernetics. Where once were his cold, but expressive eyes now sit sensors, gently whirring in the background. His speech was more clipped, more curt, with fewer smiles and jokes.

Well said Sergei. It's about time to finally leave this place for some fresh air. As the heat is still on us, I have recalibrated cloaking device on my car and it now works perfectly. And added some security for the locks - to always have a car to get back too:) Could be useful to take some attention from us while doing business in the city...

"Since my place is burnt anyways, best hit the streets," Spacer says with no visible mourning for her workspace. "We should get some sleep first. I will keep an eye out; if this person found us, 'Saka likely isn't far behind." Lacking the same pep she displayed upon the first meeting, she turns back towards her desk and works on prepping her deck. Partitioning, cleaning... perhaps worshiping, if one looked with a certain lens.

Day turns into night, and night into really fucking night. You load up in Prophet's ride and head for the meet up around 2300 hours to leave time to scope out the location. The bay bridge that connects Night City to Chiba is on the outskirts of the industrial area Spacer lives in and doesn't take more than twenty minutes.

Prophet stops his ride at a scenic turn-out on the highway overlooking the bridge...

Using his new chrome, Sergei scans all around the meeting spot using the full spectrum of his optics. He is looking for the infrared heat signature of people, but also the exhaust ports of any vehicles or machinery, including cybernetics. He looks for any one in the visible spectrum at low light, and also uses his UV spectrum to look for the soft glow of tritium sights or depleted uranium.

Flesher had been uncharacteristically solitary during this downtime. While normally she would be looking to start shit to either fight or fuck, things hadn’t been the same. Aware that she had made some minor upgrades, but it was the more major upgrades to her comrades that changed their responses to her jabs and prodding. There was a lag at times and zero recognition at others. She wasn’t sure what bothered her more; their decreased humanity or her decrease in fun. Part of her was changing too.
What good is winning if you ain’t there to fuckin’ revel in it?
She got into the car, sat in the backseat, and kept relatively quiet.

Being quite proud about his latest adjustments to the his Chevillon Thrax' cloaking system, he turns towards it and presses a button on the remote control with his right hand. He widens his arms, with a big a smile on his face - while watching his car, that slowly, but completely disappears from the view in just a few seconds as he would like to say:
"See! Isn't it a pice of art?"

To be honest he doesn't give a fuck if anyone else is watching it too. His inner satisfaction is enough for him. Then he starts to walk towards Sergei - not being very fast about it. As they would be on casual walk near the river or something like that...

Sergei and Prophet make their way down the embankment towards the lone figure standing under the bridge.

The woman standing before you seems to be a full body conversion; her skin is entirely polymer and she sports several obvious implants. She has no expression on her face and speaks in a monotone.

"I trust you can work with discretion as this job requires a great deal of it. Arasaka is moving an asset from one of their black sites to an orbital launch site in Chiba and I need you to recover it. At 21:00 hours tomorrow two VTOLs will take off from the top of the Arasaka HQ and information has been leaked that one of them will be carrying the asset. Our own agent inside Arasaka was able to uncover that both vehicles are decoys and that the asset will actually be moved by maglev train departing at 20:00 from the Arasaka corporate station. I want you to board the train in transit and hook the asset to an extraction craft without raising the alarm."

Mr. Brett casually raps against the roof of the car to get both Flesher and Spacer's attentions. He then positions his right hand in a way that both of his commrades can see yet his thumb is concealed by his other fingers.

Using precise hand positioning, he aligns the thumb of his left hand with the fingers of his right hand, making it appear as if his left thumb is actually part of the right hand.

By cleverly manipulating the angles and movements of his hands, he then creates the illusion of removing his own thumb, leaving both ladies bewildered by the seemingly impossible feat.

The intrepid solo allows no smile to grace his face and betray the simple nature of his trick. He nods solemnly to affirm their suspicions.

Sergei decided to give his old neo-Soviet buddy, Boris the Blade an encrypted call (with his location spoofed). In truth Sergei knew his real name wasn’t Boris, and that he had lifted it from the old Guy Ritchie flick, but in these crazy times sometimes it made sense to keep your real name close. Sergei never really gave a shit himself.

Once settled, Sergei turns to the rest of the plan.

Look at schematics. For ventilation systems like this there should be large HEPA filter, which gives them false security. But filters must be tested, da? Every inlet filter will have two 25 mm ports. One outside, one inside of filter. Is for challenge gas to test filter. Maintenance workers release non-toxic gas upstream and have test probe inside. Other port. No gas detected inside filter means it works.

Sergei points to the port on the schematics.

This entry point for gas. Bypass filter, right to fan then everywhere.

The crew touches down and cuts free of their cords atop the speeding train, all except Prophet. The nomad drops from the aerodyne and hits the train at a bad angle and gets his feet knocked out from under him, pitching over the side at 150mph!

Everyone's breath catches in their throat as they see the wheelman take a dive but the Russian moves on instinct and grabs Prophet's harness just before he passes the edge and with a Herculean effort manages to brace and hold fast! Prophet swings back towards the train and hits the sidewall hard, producing a loud THUMP!

Someone inside is sure to have heard the sound...

Spacer keys her deck and scans for the access node but comes up short in all the commotion. Brett misses the whole debacle as he is busy adhering demo to the wheelhouse...

Down below in the train Sergei first spots four men in combat gear slumped on the ground foaming at the mouth with hemorrhagic trauma to the eyes. Red lights cast a hellish hue to the scene, some sort of internal alarm issues from the environmental sensors that monitor the cabin.

There is a steel pocket door at the far end of the car leading ahead to the fourth car...

Just looked up the rules and I get it. They hit by four and rolled 10 for damage, which would be 40. Then you subtracted 7 for armor. The thing is Sergei is wearing his light armorjack, so damage should be 29 and SP should be 10. I think.

Sergei recovers after being pummeled in a hail of gunfire. He grits his teeth, which are each individually outlined in blood. He reaches for a speedheal from his gear as blood blooms from entry holes in his torso.

I assume since Neon has his V. H. Pistol and the distance is 40 m it will be DV of 25?? So that's why he is running towards the guy. He can make 14 m in turn so, he is at 26m at the end of his move, so... still at DV of 25? :/ But next turn he will be closer:)

The next series from borg's machine gun also didn't made too much impression on the Prophet. He made a swift step or two back, allowing to the line of holes drawn by the enemy's gun on the train's car roof miss him by a less than 1 meter.

He have seen such freaks in his life. They think that the chrome is the only way to go. They are lost. Their mind and their soul... And someone like Prophet has to free them from all this suffering....

Neon Prophet makes a step forward towards the beast, steading his position. Looking directly at the borg. Not being concerned about another party coming. He draws his big, fat Colt AMT Model 2000 with a wide swing from the holster near his belt and... Aims. Exactly between the mad, empty eyes. Eyes of a beast... a lost animal... that once was a human... and needs to be rescued...

He shouts with almost God's given force:

Maybe feeling that the MAX-TAC's sniper round is big enough sign or maybe because Mr. Brett's words - Neon snaps himself out of amazement that his shoot didn't meet the borg's face.

Now seeing the hulking figure shooting freaking ROCKETS at the Max-TAC's fling vehicle, he have only one thought in his mind:
"Let's not waste the blessing I still got!" - before turning back and continuing his run towards last train car and hooping in - as fast as he can.

Being in VERY relative safty of the car he stars runing towards the head of the train and the rest of the group answering Brett throuth comms:
"On it, Brett! I can see that you weren't wasting time down here too..." - he comments seeing all the dead bodies.

Neon changes the chanell and calls the VTOL operator:
"We are almost ready! Bring in the bird for fast extraction job. And make it fast, especially now when our chromed Romeo has a new love object. Hoping they will be a match for each other for long enough..."

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...

Flesher finds a medkit readily enough in one of the desks flipped against the door to form the barricade while Brett scans the back rooms of the building and makes note of the windows.

There is a hard shove on the barricaded door and a voice outside shouts "They blocked the door, circle the building!"

There are sounds of something being placed on the wall from outside...

Spacer's eyes go wide,

"Holy shit, you know what this is?"

Spaghetti replies,

It is a physical avatar with a twelve petaflop processor. That is enough processing power to host an AI entity.

"It's not spec'd for combat! I would have thought so too but this thing isn't like any construct I've ever seen... Total organic over a bio-digital neuro system, it's like a real human body built to upload a digital consciousness! Spaghetti what am I looking at?"

"I'm sorry citizen. FBI here. We need your car immediately. Stand a side and help to organize a passing tunnel in the crowd towards the explosions sounds. Thanks for your peaceful cooperation!" - he ends not being able to resist a small, mocking smile on his face... knowing that no one should still believe in FBI...

Then he turns to Sergei and Brett, seeing them providing cover for him and Flasher.
"We are done loading here, boys... and I shell say we gotta roll from this shithole... FAST! If we don't want to loose our shiny, new... hacker girl." - but this time... his voice was devoid of his usual bravado... but rather embodied grimness...

Before entering the driver seat again, he throws to Flesher:
"I... probably... won't be able to drive this giant steadily on those desert roads... so you have to keep her afloat until we loose the tail or until Carlise finally bothers to fucking come here... Get on the trunk with her and I will take us from here... to somewhere... more safe."

The two shock troopers dive out of the way of Sergei's suppressive fire while the crew jumps out the window into the waiting truck bed. Prophet lights the tires and peels away from the building towards the desert highway beyond. It doesn't take long before the VTOL is hot on their trail, heavy machine gun fire strafing the ground behind them. Things are looking pretty bad when all of a sudden the radio crackles...

Looks like you guys could use a hand...

A convoy of vehicles appears on the horizon just over the next berm with four armored cars leading the charge! Nomads hanging out the portholes on top fire rocket launchers at the VTOL taking out both engines and pitching the aerial vehicle hard into the ground! A massive explosion blooms behind the pickup truck and everyone in the bed can feel the heat singe their hair.

Four more VTOLs appear on the horizon and the convoy pulls a U-turn with your stolen pick-up in the center position.

We have a pipeline a half click from here, oughta give us cover from the birds while we slip out the back. Peddle to the metal boys!

The convoy hauls ass to what looks like a massive flood drain that used to service a thriving city but now only gapes ominously in the desert waste. One by one the Humvees charge through the opening and switch on floodlights to show the way. After a few seconds the pipeline splits and the convoy takes the right tunnel which breaks out into a long abandoned stone quarry some minutes later.

The convoy pulls to a halt under a caved-out overhang on the cliff face and you see a small community of trailers in what is essentially a man made cave structure. A litter is rushed over and Spacer is hustled off the truck and over to the mess tent where Flesher is brought supplies and sanitizer. A few of Prophet's clan help to move the sarcophagus off the truck and over to a canvas tent which is given to your crew for rest and recuperation.

The medtech hadn’t been in this severe a crisis since her last gig with Trauma Team. Her heart beat like she took one too many stims. Recalling the training, she started her four square breathing to calm her nervous system. She laid out the supplies in the order needed. She barked at one of the aides to scrub up and hand her each instrument in the order she arranged them. Then she furiously scrubbed her hands and forearms cleaner than they’d been in months.
