Lucky uploads the SIM program to the AR, and indicates on the AR:

fistandantilus4.0
Mary nods.

That program can be implemented while your patient is undergoing surgery. Your cost is $100.

Please submit payment of $13,600 now.


Mary smiles.
Lady Door
Lucky transfers the total and sits back.
Using the AR, she continues to view the information on the Mary.
What are the costs for the Mary V.2.3?

Lucky also takes a moment to look around the room at the various people waiting.
fistandantilus4.0

These include such favorites as Mary Masseure! Your body won't know it's not real, and will relax accordingly, guaranteed! Enjoy a potentially endless massage for one time payment of just $69.95!


Lady Door
Lucky nods and approves the purchase, also including a tech support subscription option and an upgrade alert option.
Maybe I'll get the masseuse package later, right now Angelo is working out really well.
Lucky smiles and leans back, throwing a few flirting glances to the men around here.
fistandantilus4.0
Since the room is consisting solely of men, and Lucky is a very gorgeous , and now flirtatious woman, she gets a fair share of glances back.
fistandantilus4.0
Mary comes back in a moment.

With the insertion of a deicated Personafix capable chip, you can select a personality type for your patient, or behavoiral modifiacation, and change ooptions on the fly, using a library of available options.

Lady Door
Yes, please. Lucky reviews the options available on the fly and raises an eyebrow.
Very interesting..
She slides her jacket off, letting it fall to the chair beside her.
fistandantilus4.0
The Master program can be installed for an additional $3,000. Please submit now. I will download you a list of availble persona's and personaity traits for you to select from. Keep in mind that these are only a small list of available options.
Lady Door
Lucky approves the purchase and transfers the cred.
Little dwarf better get me my money's worth. She's getting expensive.
After the AR Mary leaves, Lucky reviews the options available. Almost anything you could want from a person is listed. Secretary, Maid, Cook, Dominatrix Librarian Switch, ... it's a very thorough list.
fistandantilus4.0
Lucky reviews the list, and soon gets an AR window pop-up, showing Tori being moved by an anthroform in to a valkrye unit to under go cyber surgery. The option to watch the surgery is available for only $100.

After passing time organizing her business budget, the commlink finally beeps notifying her that the srugery is complete. It lists a proper amount of healing time, but states that she will be ready for transport within half an hour.

Rayo/Luigi - Outside Jack's - Wednesday Aug 15th 1418

Nope no militairy trainin', worked in groups before doh so youse signal and I'll probably get der gist. Heh, dat's gud ta know 'bout me ass, just don't get too attached yer a bit male fer me tastes and grins at the dwarf

Right, game time den, I'll lead in. If nuttin' else a big trog stormin' in tends ta make people hesitate.

And checking that Rayo is ready for the move, he heads in through the open rolling door, scanning for targets.
fistandantilus4.0
Walking in throug hte roll door entrance (and then helping Rayo up) Luigi walks in to what looks like a machine shop. There are numerous pieces of machinery all about, saftey zones marked off in yellow tape , boxes set and labeled for shipping on palettes, and a group of five men sitting at a table about 13 meters away, apaprently eating lunch.

The men look up, looking a little confused. One of them, an ork, speaks up.

Uhhh.... can we help you sir?
Deva
Rayo/Luigi

What the hell..
Rayo looks from behind Luigi's massive form and taps his thigh.
I handle this, Rayo whispers to throath mic as he steps in front of Luigi and points his gun to five men.
Gentleman, would you please put your hands up and tell me, which one of you is The Jack. Please don't make my friend here to repeat the question, thank you.

fistandantilus4.0
The men looked confused. One of them, a medium height human man wearing regular, albeit light and dirty street clothes (he is working in a machine shop after all) stands after a moment. I'm Jack. What can I do for you?
Deva
Rayo/Luigi

This is really unexpected.. is there two places with "Jack's" on the wall. Or did Benny screw me with this? That motherfu..
Rayo massages his temples with his cyberarm and gives a long sigh.
Lu. Why are they not screaming, shooting or doing anything?
Could we.. could you.. err.. Jack, let's have a small chat. On your office, thank you. Lu, watch these guys while we're gone.
Rayo start walking towards the men, still keeping his machine pistol pointed at them.
Callidus
Smooth, Luigi real smooth. Lucky dat Rayo's 'ere. Just be der big dumb trog.

Mumbling into his sub-vocal mic he responds to Rayo's message.

Who knows, I'd play the 'I've got a business proposal' card here and see if we can make sure this is the right Jack. Also possible he doesn't know we're coming or who we are, hence the lack of bullets

In response to Rayo's in just nods and stands relaxed by the door and watches the others at the table looking for hidden weapons or the tell tales of violence starting.

Jack looks them over for a moment. We can talk here omae. What's this about?

None of the men appear to be unarmed, although they're plenty on edge, what with the gun Rayo is pointing at them and all.
Deva
Rayo acts likes he's very upset, raises and lowers his hands and looks up to the ceiling.
Well, now you did it. You don't argue with a dwarf with a gun. You will upset the little man. I just wanted to talk with you in private and you starting arguing with me. Now what happens? You don't sweet talk with me anymore, but my big troll friend here is going to ask questions. And he's not sweet at all..
Rayo takes a step back, slaps Luigi to thigh once again and changes him in the ring.
They're all yours, buddy. Take the info out.

Rayo/Luigi - Jack's

Straightening a bit more at Rayo's suggestion that he take the front seat now, Luigi growls out his questions at the men in front of him but concentrating on the maan who said he was Jack.

We's lookin' fer some supplies an' 'eard that youse deal in da right stuff. Now dis is where it gets tricky fer both ov us, 'cos ders gotta be trust 'tween us fer more info or it gets ugly.

Perception and Intimidation

He drops his head with his hands up, looking defeated.

Rayo tags himself back into the ring.
Weapons? Now, now, I was only going talk with you about eastern bunnies and were their hiding their freaking eggs. They drive me nuts with them, every year the same thing. But if you do know about people who deliver weapons to you, then..
Rayo starts taking steps towards the table and five men.
..I would suggest that you share your info with us. Please, give us the names of the Black Throath Krewe members you do know. And everything else you give us, will be a bonus.. our main prize today is, that you will live to see tomorrow. Now, it's finally time to talk. If you don't, I let my friend here rib one of your ears off and I ask then again. And you gentlemen, sit there and keep your hands on the table. I won't do anything to you, but I can't say same about him..
Rayo gives a thumb towards Luigi.
Keep your guard up, this smells fishy to me. Seems like they try playing time.. if anything happens, grap Jack, I cover you, we run back to car and ask questions somewhere else. Got it?
Callidus
Got it

And he goes back to his relaxed pose, his roaming and wathcing for the precursors to an attack.
fistandantilus4.0
I'ts very difficult to tell if there are any "precursors" because they're all extremely tense, mostly to having Rayo's gun out and pointed at them.

The shot gun blast tells you that maybe that was the precursor.

One shot on each

Remington 990 w/ flechette
Rayo - 4 net successes + Base of 7DV -1AP = 11DV -1AP

Luigi = 3 net hits +Base 7DV-1AP=10DV -1 AP

As the blasts go off, slamming in to Rayo and Luigi from behind, the men at the table dive and run for cover behind machines and down the hall in to an office.

Shot hits Rayo directly between the shoulder blades and knocks him to the ground. Some how he can keep his hold from the gun. Rayo tries to get up from the floor and look where the hell the shot came from.

Almost simultaneous with hearing the blast Luigi feels like he's been kicked by a juggernaut in the back, and stumbling a step forward he turns to face the attacker

Oh dat was a bad move bozo, no 'onour 'ere I sees so youse gets no second chances. And fer what youse just done to me's chummer youse in fer a world o' 'urt

And the shotgun wielder is gifted with the view of an enraged Minotaur advancing....

Turning and taking a series of quick steps up to the gunman, Luigi starts laying into him with what looks to be little regard for his own skin.

Luigi's punch sends the human man flying back a good 3 meters before hitting a machine. He doesn't get back up.

Rayo catches just a glimpse of waht looks like Jack's head, running deeper in to the shop.

There's a shot ,and a round glances off of Luigi. One of the men from the table is hunkered down behind a large machine firing with a light pistol.

No one fires at Rayo as he runs past the machines ,headed after Jack. Rayo spots him run in to a room at the end of the shop, slamming a door behind him. Luckily the wires ocmpensate somewhet for nature's bad joke on the length of his strides.
Callidus
Sliding to a halt after smashing the human's rib cage, Luigi spins only to feel the sting of a light round glancing off his shoulder.

Oh, youse next, buddy bouy!

And breaking into a running he charges at the cowering gunman, skids around the end of a planer and leads with a right hook.

Attack

[ Spoiler ]
fistandantilus4.0
The human man flies back with a *woof* as the blow connects with hs abdomen, no doubt cracking ribs. Luckily, he hits a pile of cardboard boxes, and falls to the ground unconcious. unfortuantely those card board boxes had parts in them.
Deva
Rayo runs after the Jack, gets to the door while changing the clip from regulars to gel rounds and tries opening the door. It's really hard to run with feeling like you're just going to grow wings from your back.
fistandantilus4.0
The door is closed, and apparently locked. Rayo can hear the sound like another door on the other side closing
Callidus
Youse two stay 'ere, an' I won't 'ave ta 'urt youse. Run an' I'll 'unt you down.

Then turns and runs after Rayo

Intimidation to try and make them stay here
[ Spoiler ]
Deva
Lu! He went through there!
Rayo shows the door, takes a step to the side, falls to the floor while trying claw his back. Rayo moans with a painful face.
Just go and get him, Lu.. don't worry about me now.
fistandantilus4.0
Two two stay put. Luigi finds Rayo at a door in the back of the shop, looking very annoyed.
Callidus
Right, I'll get 'im fer youse Rayo. Stay safe.

And looking at the door he doesn't even try the handle and just kicks it hard by the lock remembering a number of stubbord protection payments

Strength + Body for kicking the door in
[ Spoiler ]
fistandantilus4.0
The door flies in, coming compltely off the hinges. Part of it is stick to Luigi's foot.

What they see is a small kitchen area. There's a small table, a counter wit ha sink, microwave, and cupboards above and below, and another door, closed. The room is a built in addition to the original warehouse, so the walls are all sheet rock. The ceiling is exposed 2x4s. Luigi can alost see on top of it infact, the 'roof' of it only being 9' tall, apparently beign used as extra storage space.
Callidus
Looking around for anyone he can see that looks like Jack or traces of his passing, Luigi shakes the chunk of door off his foot and heads further in.

Observing in detail

[ Spoiler ]
fistandantilus4.0
there is a slight amount of dust on the floor, with some sliding foot steps headed towards the sink.
Deva
The other door, Lu! The other door!
Rayo yells to the room without looking as he doesn't hear the sweet sound of wood crashing.
Oh gods this hurts! Holy drek! Drek, drek, drek...
Rayo drops to his left side and bangs a fist to the floor. Then he remembers that he's not alone, gets back to the sitting position and starts looking for if there's somebody else is fool hardy enough to take a shot on them.
Callidus
Hearing Rayo's call he head straight to the next door and kicks it in.

[ Spoiler ]
fistandantilus4.0
Kicking the door just across from them, it splinters to pieces, revealing an empty bathroom.
Callidus
Seeing an exitless bathroom Luigi glares at an inoffensive cabinet and then pulls the doors open to look inside.
