IC New Beginnings DAWN Options

[Crossbow]

"I think I swallowed some."

That was all Lil Homie said for a bit, but he responded to O'Conner instructions.

Once the runner started searching bodies, the kid got it together and when to check any Area Bo(d)ys left.

[pbangarth]

Torley's brain still swirls, and words come out more like grunts. "Aaat wy," and he points in the direction the white robe ran.

[farothel]

Sammy dismisses the illusion spells, but keeps the 'go faster' spell up for the moment. She first has a quick look in the van for anything that might be of interest, before looking in the direction Torley pointed, she then at O'Connor.
"That way apparently," she said, "let's go."

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor hopped off the car, and grimaced. He had not come out of that fight nearly as well as he usually did. He called to the others, "You two get through that skirmish alright? There was a lot of lead flying." He'd have to play things far more tactically from here on out. Unfortunately the terrain probably wouldn't allow him to hang back and play marksman. The other problem was that the only one here he trusted to pull their weight in a fight was Lil' Homie. Speaking of whom, he eyed the kid, checking if he was actually holding it together or was disassociating.

[Crossbow]

Lil Homie is definitely disassociating, but he is also a tough kid.

However, when he sees Starlet pointing into Surulere the facade cracks, "NO, no way, not going that way! No one goes into Surulere!"

Before you can really get into it, Frosty comms. No word on who the Area Boys are working for, but the drone feed I have hitched on is still following Medjay, he is moving through that dark area faster than drek through a goose. You can't catch him on foot, but you might be able to cut him off in a vehicle going around."

[Necrogigas]

"Copy that, Frosty. Moving out." He took the wheel of the vehicle that seemed least damaged from the skirmish, "Lil' Homie, you got shotgun. Let's go!"

[farothel]

Sammy followed O'Connor. She could drive, provided there was gridlink, so she wasn't going to try over here.

[pbangarth]

Torley, clumsily, jumps in with the rest.

[Crossbow]

With all four of you seated and secure, Bullet Storm lays down rubber as he turn the old sedan in a tight circle and barrels down Western Avenue. Almost immediately, just out of sight of the intersection in fact, you see an expensive looking military pouch hanging from a street sign. it is swinging slightly, as if it were just put there, but there is not a metahuman to be found.

[pbangarth]

Torley pipes up, "Oh! That is either a trap or something nice. Check it out?"

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor stopped outside of the potential blast radius, "Could be an IED. Starlet can you get a spirit to check it out?"

[farothel]

"Yeah, just a moment, the mana is really screwed up in this place," Sammy said as she switched side to the astral to call up a spirit of air. It took some doing but in the end a small spirit showed up.
"I would like you to manifest on the material and check out what's in that sack and inform me of its contents," Sammy said to the spirit.

1 service, no drain.

[Crossbow]

The spirit, another little dude with an African mask, flew up to the device and manipulated it in a way you can't see, then it returned.

"It is a pouch with a lot of smaller packages and a computerized device. The pouch has a prominent red cross on it."

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor eyed the pouch skeptically, "I mean, I could really use a medkit and stims at the moment." He motioned to his tac-vest that had several, several, bullets lodged in it, "But this is rather too convenient, right?" Even though he expressed doubt, there really wasn't time to dither about, "Frag it. Lil' Homie, take the wheel and back up in case it explodes. If I die, pour one out for me after succeeding in your first shadowrun." He got out and went to retrieve the dubious identified medkit.

[Crossbow]

It isn't dubious at all, you can see it more clearly as the combat medkits you have heard are carried in the Corp Wars by real soldiers. It is not fully stocked, but the suppiies will be good for 2, maybe 3 uses, and the Autodoc is top notch.

In addition to the regular medical supplies, you find a R6 Stim patch, a Trama patch and 1 dose each of Jazz, Kamikazi and Nitro, all clearly marked packaged with all of the warning labels and legal jargon, primarily in Sperethiel, but English is the first alternate language.

[Crossbow]

Double post

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor pocketed the stim patch, planning on using it at the start of the next fight. He held out the popper of Jazz to Torley, "This'll put a bit of vigor in you next time we throw down. High chance the other combat drugs flatline us, but good for last stands." He started fiddling with the medkit, "Anyone trained on how to use this?"

[pbangarth]

Torley raises his eyebrows at O'Connor's comments, but pockets the drug. "Anybody can use one of those things, even if they don't have a clue. The machine just does it's thing. Probably should be used by someone who isn't hurt.

"I think it can be used before magic is applied to the wounds. Is that right, Sammy?"

[farothel]

"I've seen them a few times when I was still doing backstage work," Sammy said, "as Torley said, it's quite easy to use. And I think you can use it in conjunction with magic, but my magic doesn't work on bruises and such, only on more serious wounds. I have no idea why, but that's just how things work."

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor directed Lil' Homie and Torley to get in the front, and to get a move on before they fell too far behind. He got in the back with Starlet so that she could assist him with the medkit.

[farothel]

Sammy took a bit of time to check out this particular model. They all had similar functions, but companies always put buttons and things in slightly different positions.
"Well, you hook it up to the patient like this...," she started while she did so, "I'll not use too many drugs if you don't need to, as those can be addictive and we certainly don't want that."
She continued to set the machine to get it to take the edge of O'Connor's wounds.

[ Spoiler ]

medkit use: 10d6t5 4
So I guess that's 2S healed if I'm not mistaken.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor packed up the first aid kit when Starlet finished. He felt a bit better. Between that and the stim patch, he'd be able to fight well enough. He nodded to Starlet, "Thank you." He really didn't get along with the mage, but he wasn't ungrateful for the assistance. He turned his attention to Lil' Homie, "I want you to hold on to the medkit. If any of us take bad hits, be sensible and no heroics. The kit is worthless if you go down trying to get it to us."

[Crossbow]

Lil Homie took the pouch and strapped it around his chest, making sure it was snug. He had had a bit of a look of hurt when O'Conner had passed the combat drug to Torley, but had said nothing. Now he acted as if he had been presented the Crown Jowels for safekeeping.

The delay caused by the aquisition of the medkit and it's subsequent use have definitely put you behind. As the car rumbles through the night, skirting the edge of Surulere, Jane reports that Medjay has crossed the district and is returning to expressway traffic in Mushin.

Lil Homie looks at Starlet worriedly, "Mushin is controlled by Awori, they are strict adherants to Sharia Law. You should cover yourself or we may be interfered with, Miss." He looks embarassed as he delivers the instruction.

[pbangarth]

Torley smiles at Sammy. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Especially if the Romans are uncompromising fanatics. " He's a little hesitant about the popper of Jazz. He's heard of some weird drek that happens if you use it a lot.

[farothel]

Sammy's first thought was to tell them to go fuck themselves, but then she realised that this wasn't professional. And the gods knew she had to do a lot worse things during her movie career. So she took a shawl and put it over her head as a headscarf, hoping that this would be enough.
