[IP] Uncaring Stars Options

[Thanee]

"Hell if I know. I wasn't there," Nova answered. "You know how these things go, I guess. We only got to know what we need to know. And all I know is, that this whole thing was quite a surprise. So, sorry, but you guys probably know more about what happened than we do at this point. There will be an investigation, of course. But right now, our concern is to get him back home safe. Can you tell us anything about his condition? How bad is it?"

[Jack_Spade]

"Got hit with 100.000 Volts or something. Doc guesses an air elemental or a powerline. And since there were no powerlines there, I think he got hit by a spirit. There we are."

Officer Hagen opens a door and lets you into a small ICU room. It's quite obvious why he called the dwarf "fried short". His whole body is covered in teribble burns and blackened skin. Rabe is unconscious - mercifully.
"Doc says the guy has some sort of magic resistance. Didn't react well to magical healing. Likely the reason too why he survived the electrical strike. You want a wheelchair or something?"

[Gilga]

Anna sighs Poor soul", she then assenses the dwarf trying to learn about his medical condition and to see if he is dependent on anything that they could get him. She nods at the offer of a wheelchair, finding that the words escape her.

[Jack_Spade]

The man is Rabe - at least according to his implants: Cyberhands, now molten to slag, as well as augmentation in his head. His condition is critical but stable. Nanites are coursing through his body, busyly repairing damage. Moving him will be dangerous as he'll be disconnected from the autodoc taking care of him now. Once he is in the VM this will be no problem, but until then he is at risk of dying quite suddenly.

[Gilga]

Anna texts on the team channel >> bnc, moving Rabe is dangerous. Can we unhook the Valkery module and bring it here? I also learned the pertify spell that Wraith did for your sister. if you think it would be safe given is health condition, then it would solve our dilemma.

She says "Give us a moment to consult on how to best move him. A wheelchair is too little as I don't like to disconnect him from the autodoc even if it is just until the car. "

[Crossbow]

"We are going to need his personal effects as well, whatever there is of them." Taurus says to the cop.

He also sends a text on the team channel "bnc, can you crack his headware? Is there anything we can do to make that easier?"

[Volker]

"Do not Petrify, or Stabilize him, by magic. If he didn't "react well" to the Heal spell and showed resistance to a spiritual attack, these means won't do much got. Nova, please prepare the Lazarus package, especially the savior medkit and the pack of hemosynth. I'll analyze what medical data I can get on him. Under normal circumstances, the savior medkit should buy us around five minutes to get him into the VM. If his conditions becomes critical, please take care to have a trauma patch and the hemosynth at hand."

bnc tries to get her hands on his biometric data.

[ Spoiler ]

If he's got a biomonitor, she'll hack and read it. Otherwise, she'll enter the Sternschutz host, find the medical unit to which he is applied, and read his vitals there.
For finding a biomonitor: Matrix Search: 16d6t5 4
If necessary:
For finding the medical unit: Matrix Search: 16d6t5 3
Matrix perception (check for bombs and protection): Matrix Perception: 16d6t5 4

Besides, for finding headware: Matrix Search: 16d6t5 5

[Jack_Spade]

"Personal effects are readied as we speak. You can collect them at the reception." Hagen replied.

bnc was able to varify the bio data: critical but stable, transport not recommended, but possible with enough care.

Though no wifi signals came from the dwarf.

[Gilga]

>> Fine by me. I don't want to do any magic around Rabe. Or even be around him, his agony invades my emotions. I can see why magic is ineffective on him, I think I'll be able to stabilize him but Petrify is very dangerous for me. " She looks at Nova, looking for her guidance.

[Crossbow]

"We are going to need to move him. Let's get a stretcher in here and whatever else we need."

[Volker]

Nova: [[You received an ARO from bnc. It's a streaming file. Do you trust this source?]] [I do!][Not so much][Call GOD]

"All right, I got my hands on his vital data and I'm streaming them directly towards you, Nova. He should be good if you handle him with care but I do still recommend the Savior medkit. Be aware, though, that it is nanite-based and the possibility of CFD cannot be ruled out entirely. I'm with you to support you, but I trust that you can do that.

By the way, his headware is either down or right away molten."

[Thanee]

<< Thank you! Let's do one step after the other. Get him out of here alive and stable. Then we can worry about his 'ware. Anna, you can keep an eye on his aura, while we move him? >>

[Gilga]

>> Never stopped looking at his aura. I'll let you know if something changes. Anna comments.

[Jack_Spade]

Hagen shrugged and went to fetch a gurney instead. Strapping the autoinjector on and applying the saviour medkit wasn't particularly hard. As soon as they had spread and created their own biomonitor, Nova was able to disconnect Rabe with little trouble from the autodoc.

The officer nodded and opened the door, so the team could roll out the patient.

Meanwhile, Sharkboy was beginning to get bored in the car - when he saw a limousine, not unlike the one he was sitting in rolling to the parking lot. He did a double take when he saw, that this car too had two obviously cybered men in ill fitting executive suites as well as a smaller elven woman with a disturbingly large collection of occult looking jewelry on her person. Just before the back door closed, he could see the shape of another valkyrie unit inside...

[SquirrelDude]

<@Team<Suited up tin-men and some tattooed elf with a valkyrie thingy just showed up. Probably coming for our boy. How much time you need?>>

[Gilga]

>>On our way out. Can you delay them a bit without looking suspicious?

[Volker]

bnc enters the host and places a mark on the sensor gateway before the entrance.

[ Spoiler ]

Buying hits with direct connection.

If there is time left, she tries to find out where the criminal records database is.

[ Spoiler ]

could she, similarly to how she tricked the SIN reader make the team look like wanted pretty criminals?

[Thanee]

<< Would be interesting to know, whether they have some way to legitimize themselves, or whether they want to force their way in. >>

[Volker]

"I'm in no mood to find out. I'll stall them at the entrance. If you can get out somehow else, do it."

[Thanee]

"Hagen, is it okay, if we get our car to the back entrance and transport him there? I know, it is for emergencies, but it was pretty much empty when we came in and we can get the car a lot closer to the hospital that way. Surely you agree, that this would be a good idea, considering his condition. It won't take long."

[SquirrelDude]

<@bnc< What kind of camera coverage is there in this parking lot? >>

[Jack_Spade]

The parking lot has video surveillance and is pretty overseeable from the front entrance.

Meanwhile Hagen replied to Nova:
"Sure, it will be easier to move the gurney out back."

[Thanee]

"Great, thank you! I will inform the driver."


<< We will take the exit in the back of the building, where the ambulances arrive. The car can get close to the building there. We will probably need a few minutes to get there. >>


Then it's time to get Angström detached from the autodoc and carefully put on the gurney. Nova will keep the savior medkit handy to watch his status and keep him stable while they get him downstairs.

[SquirrelDude]

<@Nova<I'll do what I can.>
@bnc<Find me a local dive bar or other run down establishment that would let you film without a license.>

Sharkboy took a step out of the car, still wearing his suit, but casually carrying his bow and quiver. He stuffed a smoke grenade and a couple HE grenades into his pockets. He quickly waved his arms and shouted over at the three mercenaries, clearly trying to get their attention. He made sure to make his commlink visible as he put on his best Horizon road agent impression.

HEY HEY HEY! Do you guys speak English? ¿Español? Nihonjin?" Bringing the commlink up to his mask he spoke to an imagined caller.

"Tim! Yeah, get the shoulder checked out, I know. Look, I think I just found the background character you want for that promo we're shooting tomorrow."

Etiquette/Con [5]: 11d6t5 4

[Gilga]

Anna feels alive when Shark raises the possibility of them getting caught. The rush of addictive adrenaline surges through her body, sharpening her senses, and forcing her to suppress an inappropriate smile. Anna is satisfied that Nova keeps her cool, and is happy to watch Rabe. Still, she keeps her counterspell field aimed at her group which now includes Rabe. She walks with the group, hoping that the limo will meet them in the back and that they'll leave undetected.
