[IP] Uncaring Stars Options

[Crossbow]

"Fine, whatever."Taurus strides to the desk, stretching to his full height as he does so. He is still doing the put-upon corp guy thing. "So I am told I need to sign for corporate property?"

[Jack_Spade]

The receptionist handed Taurus a pad and a pen. At the end of the page was a square with a slightly shimmering gel, ready to receive his thumbprint.

Nova had reached the exit when at the other end, the woman exploded:
"I DON'T FRAGGING CARE. OUT OF MY WAY NOW."
The guard suddenly turned to stone and the elf strode over to the reception with murder in her eyes.

[ Spoiler ]

Petrify F8: 18d6t5 8
How many spell defense dice does Anna allocate to the guard at the entrance?
Resist: 3d6t5 2

[Volker]

"we'll talk later, we've got one hot-tempered bitch out there. The mage just petrified a police officer. Hurry up and get ready for trouble"

[Thanee]

<< I'm at the exit and will see that I get him out before she spots him, if that's what she is even looking for. Could be entirely unrelated, after all. Is the car in position? >>

Nova used the blankets from the gurney to cover him as best as she could in the short moment, or shielded him from view from the reception area with her own body, and continued her way outside, still slow and controlled, looking for the car.

[Jack_Spade]

The Valkyrie Modul takes up its work immediately as soon as Nova reaches the car and places Rabe inside.

Meanwhile, the receptionst is just in the process of reaching out for the signed document, lifting the packet with the other hand, as the angry elf strides over, looking angrily at Officer Hagen, who is also in the process of drawing his gun.

[ Spoiler ]

Ini Angry Elf Ini: 13+4d6 25
Hagen Ini: 8+1d6 12

Angry Elf casts another Petrify spell at Hagen
Petrify F8: 17d6t5 5
Resist: 4d6t5 1

Net 4 - how many spell resistance dice from Anna?

[Gilga]

"She is going to kill them, damn Fox totem" Anna realizes, it takes her a lot of self-control to not protect officer Hagen, and watch him turn to stone. However, her ability is limited. She is likely to negate a single spell, and she and Taurus are more important right now. She has another solution, a terrifying spell that she readily casts at a decent force for her skill. She likes that solution because it would return Hagen and the guard to the flesh (she hopes), and would not harm the mad elf.

[ Spoiler ]

Initiative: 14+2d6 23
Trid phantsm F5: 13d6t5 6 - Let's make it petrify F6.
drain: 11d6t5 4

[Jack_Spade]

A single trickle of blood ran from the elf's nose as she continued towards the reception girl.

[ Spoiler ]

She uses Spell Defense for herself against the petrify attempt:

Resist Petrify: 10d6t5 5

And turned to stone midstride herself. In turn, Officer Hagen returned to life.
"What the hell was that?"

[Crossbow]

"THAT..." said Taurus, reaching over the counter to get the package, "...would be your problem, and good luck with it." The minotaur turns and moves for the elevator

[Gilga]

Anna is blushed from the excitement, almost euphoric. She waits for Taurus at the elevator and keeps the door open for him. She does not speak as she afraid of getting into trouble.
>> Petrified the mad elf, let's get out of here! She texts.

[Jack_Spade]

The gettaway is almost too easy after that. By the time the two goons try to enter the hospital, the team's limousine is already moving out of the parking lot. Sharkboy deems it wiser not to enter the building after a siren starts to blare and a single red flashing light indicates there is an alert going on inside the building.

Taurus finds the time to take a look into the sealed bag. Inside, nicely packaged in individual clear plastic packages he finds: A pair of plaststeel boots, a pair of badly chared synth leather trousers, cut open, a likewise destroyed ballistic jacket with a synthetic undershirt. A slightly charred midrange commlink, not responding to the press of the on button, as well as a bandana with a pack of nic sticks in it.

[SquirrelDude]

Sharkboy sits on a bench outside the building and pulls out his commlink

<@Team @Eliza <Well, with everything going down in that hospital, looks like I won't be able to get my shoulder checked out. Would someone mind sending me a ride?>>

[Gilga]

Shark, I can send my bike. It is still in the safe house so it'll take a little while.
As soon as Anna is back in the car she reaches for her bag and wears places the magic ring in her palm. Playing with it fondly, and then placing it in her pocket. Oh, she likes that ring, too much - but the previous owner got himself killed. She must not grow dependent on it, and the petrify worked without extra juice.
After a short while, she says "Nice talking Alex. You really know how to speak to these people.

[Crossbow]

"You watch enough executives deal with people, you figure out that if you act like you are better than they are, some folks will believe that you are." Taurus settles back into the seat, "The trick is to know not to believe your own act."

[SquirrelDude]

<<Appreciate the offer Anna, but I was seen arrived in a limo, so I need to leave in at least a black car. >>

Sharkboy chose not to mention his total inexperience driving.

[Gilga]

Anna rolls her as she texts a thumbs up. Shark was a bit of an oddball, so she did not try to understand why he maintains appearances after the task was long over. She asks casually, not very interested in the actual package "Anything useful?"

bnc any idea who were these people? I mean, they are more misfits then us. I don't think they are cooperate employees.

[Thanee]

"That went well, all things considered. It's cool to have the cops on your side for once. It would be interesting to know what that woman actually wanted. Was she after the same thing?"

[Volker]

bnc sends a voice message to Eliza, asking her to send for another limo for Sharkboy, though a less expensive one this time.

Then she exhales audibly. "Ladies and gents, that was one good job and pretty decent teamwork. Sheesh ... and close!"
While rebooting her deck, she joinds the team channel over her commlink. "They sure were after Rabe as well. Good thing we didn't take more time to get here. This was about minutes. Shadowrunners, surely. I say, we take a look at the commlink and then find out who would be behind the data. Is it functional? Is there any kind of chip inserted than can be extracted? "

[Jack_Spade]

[ Spoiler ]

If you want to examine the gear, please perform perception tests

[Thanee]

"Let me have a look at that gear. I'm at least somewhat skilled in electronics and mechanics."

[ Spoiler ]

Perception (visual) 7 hits

[Jack_Spade]

Nova took the pieces of gear out one by one.
The commlink was fried, totaly destroyed with bits falling out if shaken to hard. The pieces of clothing had dried blood on them as well as pieces of melted skin.
Nova had more luck with the boots: Both heels had compartments in them. A finagling and the use of a sharp knife revealed a data chip in the left and a small bag of blue powder in the right.

Slotting the chip revealed a large data file of approx. the right size.

Nova had almost put everything aside, when she noticed a tiny button cam in the jacket's brest pocket. It turned out to belong to a sensor RFID chip with a 24 hour storage. The battery was extremely low, but otherwise it seemed to be intact.

[Thanee]

"And I have pretty keen eyes. What do we have here?" With a flick of her wrist, sharp blades emerged at her fingertips.

<< I think I found what we are looking for. The data. >> Nova sent while retracting her hand razors she used to open up the compartment.

She looked at the blue powder, wondering what it could be.

[ Spoiler ]

Chemistry 2 hits, Street Drugs 2 hits (almost a Glitch)

[Gilga]

Anna looks at Nova admireably and says"Neat..." After Nova examines the blue powder Anna says "Let me touch the blue powder. I have a spell for that" she says and takes the small powder sack in her hand, using her new power focus she casts the spell to see and closes her eyes trying to learn something about the powder that they do not already know.

[ Spoiler ]

she casts analyze device F5 on the powder (not for dice to use it but to learn some facts about it.
analyze device (drug): 19d6t5 5
drain vs 2: 11d6t5 2

[Jack_Spade]

The powder has a faint aura - or rather an anti aura as it consumes the mana around it. The spell has trouble to connect, but all of a sudden, Anna realizes what this is: FAB III, Fluorescent Astral Bacteria Strain III, a form of dual natured bacteria that feeds on dual-natured creatures. Very dangerous, very expensive and very, very hard to get.
And now, Anna had infected herself.
Almost immediately her focus began to glow in a fluorescent green.

[Gilga]

Anna quickly turns off the focus a terrible expression on her face. "Take that away from me. That stuff eats Mana." She says "FAB 3 dammit... The biological weapon FAB, it means that I cannot use the ring, and cannot observe the astral until we disinfect it or it will eat me. bnc... How do I get rid of this bacteria? " Anna says, as white as a wall. She obsessively tries to clean the ring with wipes, more to not cry or scream than because she thinks it is effective.

[Thanee]

"So, Rabe really doesn't like magic."

Nova quickly seals the powder and packs it away in her smuggling compartment, together with the chip and the microcam.

[ Spoiler ]

So, how do you properly handle/use this? You blow it into a mage's face? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
