OOC:

Sorry about that, Shark_Bone, but yes Remnant is right-usually the notes are about things that are either between the GM and the player, like a mechanics question, or in the case of War_Domo and I, just working out some details of our player connection. Notes are handy for things like that to keep from breaking the flow of the narrative with more mechanics than necessary.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Our of sight, you find her lingering. She has clothing similar to the current style youve observed on the streets of Ruk, with shoulder cutouts for her wings. Her face is partially obscured with a high tech mask that serves no obvious purpose.

"Oh, I am solid, right?" She looks you over. "You the crew from Fischer?"

"Blue building a block over. Wanna follow?" She looks everyone over. "You all look ready for violence. Good. I think theyre expecting trouble."

She leads you onto the street, turning around the next corner. "Questions?"

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Micah raises an eyebrow at her first question. "Solid? Yeah, I suppose so." He reaches out and pokes her shoulder with an outstretched finger.

Dropping his hand, he continues, "I do have one question. This may not be important, but, then again, it might be." He pauses for effect, then continues. "What exactly is it that we're looking to grab?" He smiles at her, but leans back on his feet, making it clear that he has no intention of moving to obtain the... thing, until he knows what it is. Or what it looks like. Or, how heavy it might be or... well, any sort of information about it at all.

Vinny had started to shake his head to say no, but stops when Micah speaks.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

"Exits and entrances, windows, doors, and vents. How many this place have we're going in? Blind. If they're expecting trouble that mean they know about you or someone tipped them off about us? Also how many in side ya reckon?" Duke asks getting down to the details. This obviously wasn't going to be a cakewalk but how much of a hornet's nest were they sticking their head in. He tries to get his bearings where they are so he knows how far to the extraction point.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Agent Sly stops at the edge of the fountain square and looks back at Micah, then at L0nstaR.

"The main floor is a big warehouse. Your basic crossfire death trap. There should be two or three Karum guards. Once youre past them, there is are two sets of stairs down. Then it gets sticky. Underground bunker. Blind hallways, locked doors. The weapon is in center back, stored in a junk room by the plasma furnace. Could be 5 to 10 Karum down there. Armed, of course, with bolters and poison darts."

She pulls out a thin, e-paper tablet, and unrolls it, showing you a map of the basement level.

She also describes the device, which is about the size of a garbage can.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Micah listens as Sly speaks and looks at what he's shown. When she's done, he thinks for a few seconds, biting his lip.

"That's rather complete information. I applaud you. I also wonder how you got such great info. Did you download that blueprint from the internet or... whatever passes for the internet here?" He pauses to take a breath and then continues, "Also, what's a Karum?"

He looks over at the others, "Do you know what a Karum is? 'Cause I sure don't."

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

She looks at Micah with naked suspicion, her eyes flickering to the others, the odds all but visible in her grim expression. Her hand falls to her hip, pushing aside some fabric and resting on a thin handle of some odd device. "Who are you people?" Her weight is firmly set across the balls of her feet, her knees slightly bent, her wings spread slightly for balance. She releases a tense breath and holds still, explosively ready.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

"We are your contacts, and your backup. We appreciate the information you have provided, but require more background on the Karum. We are not local, and our reconnaissance on this faction is spotty. Now let's dispenser with the paranoia and get in with this task." Seth says, pointedly, his eyes and spots flashing with his annoyance. Though Seth may not know what that may mean, she recognizes that he had a potential to transform into a monster if he gets too worked up.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

She swears under her breath, but the fight goes out of her. "Karum is a political faction here, a, a, secret society or whatever you call it. They believe that humans are our enemies, and that if Ruk could be freed from the grips of Earth, then we float off into The Strange until we could find somewhere more fitting. Im an infiltrator, keeping eyes on them from the inside. When I found out about the weapon, I called my ... employers, but they wanted to blow the place, wiping my cover. So I got a message to our boy Culkin, and he said he'd send some heartbreakers to solve my problem." She glances at a time piece embedded in her wrist. "Look, I'm sorry, but if youre going to do this, you gotta move. They're going to Earth. Maybe they have already left. I thought you would be here 15 minutes ago."

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

"Well, shit!" Micah swears. "Why didn't you lead off with that? As much as we need to understand this all, we need to protect Earth more..." He starts walking towards the building, going off the information Sly just gave them as best he can. Shaking his head, he says under his breath, "Damn you, Caulkin! We're not ready for this..."

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

"Yes, please do lead the way. If they have already moved to Earth then perhaps we can follow them, though I think that we are much more equipped to fight them here than we are back on Earth." Seth looks to the others with a worried expression.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

She leads you down the next block but ducks into an alley half way down. A perpetual wet dripping falls from the floating city above, the shadows deep and everything slightly damp and mildewy. "I can't go further lest I blow my cover." She hands Micah a com unit. "If you get pinned down, call me, and I'll see what I can do. While I want to stay undetected, that isn't worth your lives." She smiles grimly and offers an awkward fistbump. "It's the blue building at the end, the door is obvious and untrapped. I recommend going in hot and suffering no fools. They're all sticky creeps."

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

Duke was about to say something from the initial brief but things settle themselves out for information, "Much obliged ma'am. Well seems like we ain't go time to think to much before we start doing so lets start this rodeo, we'll have to think up a lot of this on the fly probably." Duke states pulling his sidearm and moving to where they need to go.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

"Yes, Duke, let's do this. Who wants to go in and scope out before we barge in?" Seth asks, looking to the others. He spies Micah and his semi-translucency, and says "Micah, you seem to be somewhat less...visible here than we are, so maybe you should try to sneak in and get the lay of the land."

You heard the lady, No time for that. Thanks, Sly. Vinny enthusiastically returns the fist bump before going through the door.

Re: Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

You leave Agent Sly behind, and pick ypur way along the rough street. At the end of the block, you see the promised blue building with a prominent doorway - it's under a metal eave on the corner, with two steps up and a double style mechanical door hinged on the outer sides.

The five of you (Duke, Vinny, Seth, Micah, and even Katyushka who has been scrambling to catch up after you were separated by the glial storm) cross the street to avoid sightlines and find yourself on the doorstep.

Who is opening the door and rushing inside recklessly? Or describe an alternate tactic if you wish.
