Salted Wounds [IC], a Deep Black Sea game Options

[Volker]

bnc smiles with satisfaction, though with no one to see.

"All right guys, little time left. Does anyone of you have the means to burn that shit down? 'Cause I'm neither keen on leaving specific traces nor on having them continue this fucked-up crap.
Think of something. Meanwhile, I'll delete the log files."

Then bnc again focusses on the matrix network and leaves the physical havoc to her teammates.

[ Spoiler ]

If someone can guarantee me that they will melt down the whole server, bnc would unplug herself. If it's more like a "could be, could be not", she'll definitely erase/edit the file.

"I just have some high-ex grenades in my bag in the van."

[Volker]

"Bring 'em. Better'n nothing"

[Gilga]

Anna texts >>I just summoned a fire spirit...She really likes burning things and increasing the entropy.

It took bnc a few moments more but then she had modified the log file and could leave the host, while her team mates debated what to do with this factory and the unconscious guards lying on the floor.

[Thanee]

<< We got a few more grenades from earlier. @bnc: You should know best, where to place them, in order to destroy the storage units, right? >>

[SquirrelDude]

Sharkboy went into his bag, got out the grenades and handed them to bnc to place where she felt it would be best.

I'm going to lose half my earnings to replacing ammunition.

[Volker]

bnc nods a thanks to Sharkboy, then says: "I don't think, I need many o' them if Anna can indeed command a fire spirit to burnt that shit down. Get the van ready, I'm almost done."

bnc quickly arranges one or two of the grenades at an angle where she can be confident to take the servers out with some certainty, and distributes potential flammables (curtains, plastic containers and stuff) to further increase the damage potential, knowing that her work is but the tip of the iceberg. Still, whatever can be done hastily, she does (or asks idle teammates to do). Once the most important things are set, she gets onto the van. "Fasten your seatbealts, girls. Time to unleash hell!"

Explosives: 10d6t5 3
I can also buy 3 hits on hardware to find the vulnerable spots.

[Gilga]

Anna frowns at bnc's doubt, she can torch things with fire spirits - but making sure that no people are killed when you start a fire is a problem. She texts >>Help me place them outside of the warehouse so they don't die in the fire.<< She then drags the unconscious guards out of the warehouse one by one (Possibly with the help of Nova and Sharkboy) Once the guards are out of the way, and their loot stored in the van, Anna enters the van afterward and instructs her fire maiden to torch the place down starting with the servers, and take extra care to ensure that the servers are unusable before burning the rest of the factory.

[Thanee]

"Sure, why not." Nova said and helped Anna with the guards.

[Volker]

bnc, phyically unable to lift any bodies herself, instructs James to assist, while she herself Jumps into the van, heats up the engine and turns, ready to leave at a moment's notice.

[Luckace]

Seeing that his comrades got the situation handled quite well, Wraith goes to scouting the area: Stepping just outside of the mana barrier, he uses his god-given powers to detect approaching enemies and murmurs "Lord, you know the hearts of all men. Reveal our enemies to me." .

Resisted.

[SquirrelDude]

Sharkboy drags people by their arms out of the building, two at a time, and then takes care to properly carry the guy with the broken leg.

[Jack_Spade]

It didn't take long for the whole building to be enveloped by flames. In the distance sirens could be heard.
Wraith didn't notice anything yet, but that probably would change soon if they stayed.

[Thanee]

"Guess, the neighbors weren't too happy about the noise. We should move. Don't forget the other car."

[Gilga]

Anna closes her eyes, and astrally project to clean up the signatures left by the team. Her heart pounds with excitement as she notices how much fun her fire spirit is having. When she returns, she has a silly eye-to-eye grin on her face and she says "Some people just like to see the world burns..." She is fascinated as she watches the warehouse getting smaller through the rear window.

[Volker]

bnc relaxed visibly once they were out. Even through the suppression of the VR system, a hint of a smile breaks through onto her face. It can definitely be heard over her voice, though.
"Good raid, chummers. That was professional and smooth!
But first: Where to? Right back to the maneater?"

[Thanee]

<< We need to fetch the other car. Then, we should make sure, that we are not followed. Then, back to the boat. >>

[Luckace]

"Right. As soon as we changed rides, we should send this one - the one they'll be looking for - towards the nearest border. Or wherever, just far away from where we're going."

[Jack_Spade]

The retreat went on without a hitch. Moving all the loot two the rented car was a bit of a hassle, but the team managed it with no particular difficulty. Sending the car on autopilot without grid guide was no problem either.
While you return to Linz, two fire trucks pass you as they had in the direction you just came from.
The unconscious man, the team had placed on the floor began to stir. It wouldn't be long before he regained consciousness.

[SquirrelDude]

"Does someone have handcuffs, or are me and Nova gonna need to put a tag-team submission on this guy?"

[Volker]

[ Spoiler ]

Assuming we indeed let the drivers leave.

"James should still have the handcuffs with which we restrained the drivers. James-sweetheart? Do you still have them cuffs you played with?"
"Yes, mommy, but my playthings are gone. Can I has new ones?"
"See? Still there. Good boy. Someone give Jamesy a pat"

[Jack_Spade]

As the man woke up, he found himself cuffed and restrained. After pulling a few times uselessly on them, he asked: "Alright, who are you and what do you want."

[Luckace]

Wraith was keeping his detects enemies a spell up while they were driving away from the scene.
<<I don't see how this guy has anything we need. Do we need any info from him?
Regardless, let's message Abdecker's bouncer that his package is on the way. He might send us to a different destination, after all.>>

[Gilga]

Anna replies in a calm voice "Who we are is of no concern to you. As to what do we want - I am sure you can guess, want to give it a try?"
