D-Trip

Waiting till the appropriate time to find the Suit he?s been dealing with, D-Trip prepares him self in the usual pedantic way. Still brushing him self down, he realises that Mr. White and Ghost may not want to be left out, so asks if anyone wants to join the 'party'.

"You'll have to drink the alcohol they serve, and try to look like you're there for a good time. Have we worked out if we are gonna keep these vials ourselves yet? Or if we?re gonna geek the Corp boy?"

He hefts on his Great Cloak, and bangs his cuffs.

"So what do we all want?"

Mr. White
"lets let the jhon deal with this drek." as he hands D both viles of Fires End. "The sooner we can get rid of it the better"

"Hmm well if they say it has major healing properties it might be worth keeping a vial around. May come in usefull as a last resort. He only wanted one."

"As for a party yea lets go find our corp. I don't see any reason to geek him as you put it. It would cause more problems than its worth. Lets just get the info we need. If things change we can deal with them issues then."

Ghost moved into the back, returning shortly wearing a stunning evening gown, her hair tied back. "Well if we're going to party at least lets do it in style", flashing a large smile.

Mr White

"I leav it in your capable hands ghost and D"

You contact the corp and the meeting happens in the same place as you first met him. As you approuch a slight smile crosses his face...

"Were you able to get it!" He practly screams jumping from his chair.

Chauncy sat outside the meet in Big Dog, the step van looking like just another beat up delivery truck. He was just there in case things went south, ready to provide cover and a getaway. And if things went well, then he'd just drive everyone back to base.

D-Trip

"Actually keep them for the moment Whitey", replies D-Trip when the Shaman offers him the vials. "Lets not get caught 'Red Handed' yet!" The lack of response from anyone lets D-Trip know the humor was in bad taste. Turning to Ghost he apprehensively asks, "Lets go?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Ghost and D-Trip find The J, D-Trip gives a promising raise of his eyebrows to the Suit. Then he procrastinates by saying, "Steady there chummer. Lets take a seat first, i haven't even started my first drink!" Gesturing to Ghost he adds, "And i have to introduce my good friend."

When D-Trip is seated with the Corp he continues, "We have it! But not here, some one is holding it for us. Lets organise the exchange for when its convenient. My Guy will be able to do it when i say. Just let me know when and where."

D-Trip takes his time to notice if the Corp is suprised to see him breathing. He felt like leaping on the table and taking the Suit's head off. But he conceded to Ghost, more info would be better.

Ghost quietly followed D, nodding in greeting to the corp she sat down at the table. "I do have a few questions first, namely regarding your knowledge of this drug."

Pausing to a moment studying his reaction. "Do you have even the faintest clue what fires end is."

"And I would like to know where you heard about it."

"Um, well fires end is a place on the other side of town i believe its like a grouping of buildings like i told you...."

"As far as where i got my information it took months of searching and a doctor tipped me off that this drug might cure my son which was the same day i found you while i was drinking away my fears of going myself. Now can i please have it??"

D-Trip

"Right, i'll make a call. we'll get someone to drop it off. Stay here, he won't be more than 30mins". Well the guy seems to be hurting, thought D-Trip. But he still found the situation less than ideal as it turned out.

D-Trip stands and starts make his way out. "Good luck with your son, chummer. Hope it turns out well." Time to get Mr. White to do his thing again.

Ghost nodded, "Fair enough. I hope you have the goods you promised."

Mr. White

About 30 minets latter a veary fashinably dressed troll comes over to the Jhon.
"Mind if I join Ya?"(Speaking English)
Before the Jhon replys the troll sits down and orders a tea
"You ever needed that little bit of extra help, piking up a ladie? Well I got this real nice colagn called Fire Watter that works every time." (Wink)
Pulls out a viile of the "Fires End" slides it over the table to the Jhon, hand stil clsoe to it.
"It's just what the docter orderd"

Chauncy sits perfectly still on one of the van's bench seats, his mind a couple hundred meters straight up with the slowly circling blimp. So many people moving below him, going so many places. Time was stretching on, and he'd gotten no word of trouble from the people inside, and no sign of trouble amongst those out.

He zoomed in so that he could follow the progress of single people, individual cars, then pulling back out until they were lost amongst all the rest. It was like examing a clock one gear at a time, and then suddenly viewing the entire smoothly ticking mechanism at once.

"Thank you oh thank you so much" He practically screams and before you know what has happened he has popped the cap and looks like he is about to drink the stuff..... then it happens

The form of the man begins to change, his eyes bludge become covered in a slimy residue, his clothing cracks as his body expands. Suddenly wings RIP from his back and his skin turns to a slimy green color with a texture like rough gravel.

The drink shatters in his hand as the pressure cracks the bottle but he doesnt seem to care... the glass liquid and all go down his elongated mouth and throat and a low growl comes form the creature. With a roar it flexes is now 10' tall frame wings spreading to the side...

The creature now stands before you 10' tall with legs bent backward at the knee. Its face resembles that of a large bug or preying mantis. yet it has teeth like a canine.... Then before you can even draw a weapon thought invade your mind... Anyone int eh room feels soothed and relaxed like nothing is wrong (willpower test to resist) To you (each of you individually including chauncy in the van) it speaks in your mind...

"you have done well humans, i appreciate your help in returning me to my correct form, aah the true nature of being again makes me feel as though i have been reborn. Ages have i spent sleeping in other worldly forms and after so long to come back to my true self it feel fabulous. I owe you much... the map i promised is in the brief case ont eh floor... unfortunitly its the best i could find. But know as i feel i owe you a great more i will keep in contact and you have the right to ask me for a favor but KNOW that you are the lesser being in this agreement and that i will not head your every call." Without any more notice it turns to leave...

Mr. White


Mr. White Sits Stunded for a moment, befor replying to the entity.

Ghost sat there staring at the creature before her. Composing herself as he turns to leave. "There are probably so many questions one could ask, but I think I don't realy want to know the answer to most of them. I would like to know though, we have one more vial. Is it of any use to us?"

Suddenly Mr.White snaps out of the trance and the past few seconds fly back through his mind....

Ghost still seems in a dazed state and as Mr. White looks around he notices people with slight grins on their faces and looking like they have seen a friendly ghost or are way high on drugs...



Mr. White



Ghost


"hmmm" He states in your minds, stopping before the door, "The vial basically has many different effects... to creatures such as yourself and not awakened as you call it it is a highly potent healing salve, when either placed on a wound or drunk it activates and will hurt even a mortal wound, but beware to much could instantly kill a full grown man." A slight grin streaking across his face. " For awakened such as your friend here, " shifting his gaze to mr. white. " it would affect his ability to cast and harness magical propertys, either it could GREATLY increase his power to that no mortal could know or it could at worst kill him with all types of effects in between such as loosing the ability to cast and harness at all."

Again he turns to leave then stopping suddenly turns back and says " oh and of course is is highly addictive if used in either a high dose ore to often." A guttural laugh escaping his maw. " Again i thank you for getting me the vial as i could not approach the temple which you entered to get it.... the damned being that have the ability to create the potion... um vampires i believe you call them.... have a vast hated for us and can sense our presence from a good distance away..... as for my son frankly and obviously that was a lie... but im not a evil being and thus i have brought you your reward which as i stated earlier is int eh brief case... ill keep in touch" with that he walks again to the door but as he reaches for the handle his form turns to a mist and slides out under the crack in the bottom.

Tray had once more been watching the videos in the van with Chancey. He wasn't disappointed either. He was taken aback as the man suddenly shifted. "What the..." as it spoke in his mind, he was even more surprised. As it answered Ghost's question and left, he said "I have no clue what that was...but I get the feeling we just let out something better left undisturbed...."

Ghost nodded sedatedly.

"Well such is the nature of the shadows, there will always be a bigger fish somewhere out there. Lets just hope these vampires don't decide to come find us for this."

D-Trip

With the map in the teams possession, D-Trip feels only the slightest bit of vindication for his efforts. "I know he was ugly, but he didn't seem so bad? Sure, he said we were lesser beings, but what does that mean any more?"

With a shrug of his shoulders he tries to get everyone focused on the map. All the while he thinks about vampires, as he eyes Mr. White and Ghost.

Mr. White

On the drive back Mr. White is as quiet as an Owl on the fly. When the crew gets back he seams to liven up.

"I recall somthing in the stories about what we saw this night. I can not place it, but it was liek a demon in christian mythology. I dont think that it was nesisary evil, but defently somthing aliean to our understanding."

Mr. White heads to bed. "I'll get up early tomarow let me knwo what you all find out."

early to him is like 3 in the afternoon

"Oh D.... Good work on teh Map, but next t ime try to find out a bit more about the jhone befor hand. Next time it could be a doubel cross and not just some Super free spirit."

"That was... unusual." Chauncy finally says. The demon's mention of it's healing properties got his attention. By his very nature he was highly resistant to normal healing magic. Something like that could prove to be _very_ useful. "Vampires, demons, and racecars, oh my." He says as he waits for Ghost, Mr.White, and D-Trip to come out to the van before heading back.

Soon after the thing had been gone everyone now sits in the hotel room with the brief case. its jet black leather with security locks and though you know it would be easy to open you are still slightly afraid of it cosidering its origins.

When all turns out you end up opening it and inside you find a holo-map of asia. With is comes a doted line stating a semi- consistent travel route. Also there is a envelope.

D-Trip

Examining the holo-map D-Trip slurs, "This looks juicy chummers! Lets' get this out of here." He surreptitiously checks over his shoulder to see if anyone is looking at map and brief-case.

"We should open the envelope when get back to our haunt." Collecting the the gear D-Trip heads out to 'Big Dog'. Feeling a little nervous after the encounter, he's a little worried at what the envelope may contain. "Sooo.....who want sto open the envelope?"

"I'll open it once we get back to the camp. Don't want this information becoming to public."

Ghost closed the briefcase before picking it up from the table. Turning she briskly walked from the room before the others in the room recovered from their little lapse of concentration.

Chauncy tells Overwatch to stay airborne and follow them back their hotel, keeping it sensors peeled for anything further unusual. He really hoped that there were no more surprises before the trial combat.

Once they were back, everyone gathered around Ghost a little cautiously, wanting to see what was in the envelope.
-------------------------

Ghost picked up the envelope, looking over it for any unusual markings before peeling the seal open and looking inside.

Inside the envelope you find a very thin cell phone. You assume since it came from the demon its harmless right? right...

After a few minutes of debating you all decide its in your best interest to turn it on. Int he phone book you find a number... no name just J

The message ont he background of the screen says "if you need a job just give me a call, i also owe you 1 favor"



With that you all head to bed 2 days till your battle and you will need your rest... they explain the rules tommarow...

You decide to take the next few says to rest and repair.

Finnaly the Day has arived! You approach a large factory building of some sort that has been revemped, you can see slight modifications such as reinforces walls and such all around it.

As you enter the building the smell of burned gun power fills your nose.

"Good day ladys and gentelmen, ill be your liason, my name is Ivan Fruod."

With that Ivan takes you into a room much like a 20th century movie theatre where the holoscreen pops up with a full breifing of your task.

Within this warehouse is a complex structure whre you must enter and retreive a flag from teh very center of the building. Seeing as that should be very easy your hearts lift. He then informs you there will be 20 post guards throughout the building awaiting your arival with stun weapons. You will also be provided stun weapons if needed.

He moved on to explain that you will ahve a 12 hour window to enter the building and get the flag, it starts tonight at midnight and ends noon tomamrow, you may enter any time you choose and the guards will not be aware unless you trip some type of alarm or are spoted. The building is surrounded by a courtyard reaching 50 feet from each of its 4 sides, so you must also get byt eh parimeter guards.

No map has been provided or will be provided for this mission as it is to be a tes t of your skills as a team. You may choose to send any number from your team intot he building or not.

With that he asks you folow him to the prep room where you gain your weapons and ammo for your new stun weapons and begin to prepare yourselves for the task ahead....

"Besides weapons I presume everything else we require we must provide ourselves."

"Are we allowed to leave the prep room at any time for any reason besides heading to the target. I presume there are measures in place to observe us so that we do not aquire any items that are forbiden on this mission."

"While we are using weapons designed to stun even those if hitting the wrong place can kill. If I recall if someone dies we are instantly disqualified correct?"

"Given the current time would we be permited to scout out the area beforehand or only during the mission specified time."

"What sort of surroundings are we looking at, a building in the middle of a snowplain or at least some mediocum of cover?"

Chauncy only has three of questions. "Are drones allowed, or would that not be in the 'spirit' of this part of the competition? By 'stun' rounds, do you mean gel rounds, narcojet, or capsule rounds filled with some sort of knockout cocktail? Last, since this will greatly effect combat preparations, since this is an industrial building, I assume that there will be both close quarters, and wide open combat, as opposed to just one or the other?"
-------------

Drones are allowed,

Stun as in gel Rounds

You will have to see wont you?

Mr. White

"What limitations are thear on pre scouting the locations? Astrally, and by the net? Technally neather is actually entering the building. Can we start scoutign it out emidieatly, only after we have enterd the prep room, or only after we have left the prep room on way to target? "

There are no precautions to prescouting other then the flag MUST LEAVE the building during the aloted time. If caught outside that time though you will still be detained until after the mission time is up.

Chauncy has one more question. "So it's within the rules for me to remain outside and send the drones in? I don't have to enter the physical premises myself?"

After the meeting, Chauncy trots a quick plan past his teammates. "I can do the exterior recon with Overwatch, see where the guards are, check out where some good entry points might be. I'll send in Slick (Steel Lynx) and Skeeter (Stratos) in with you guys and keep your sixes covered."

Chauncy comes up with one more question just as everything is wrapping out. "Under what circumstances is a drone considered 'killed' since they are not precisely vulnerable to gel rounds?"

D-Trip

Not saying much as the others talked tactics, D-Trip tried to control his excitement. He couldn't think of any decent and helpful suggestions. But he thought about having some ultra-violent fun, at the expense of some unfortunate guard. It had been a long time since he last tried to take some one down the 'friendly' way.

As Chauncey starts to talk about scouting with his drone, D-Trips asks if he could help set up an ambush. "You're making it sound too easy Chauncey. We have to smack some heads together to get some respect, don't we?"

Mr. White

"Actualy what would be idal, is if we can get in and get out without ever being seen by the guards or settign of alarms. It's not likly to go down that way thou."

"I could call up a hearth spirit to conceal us...if you can get one as well, between the two of us, we should have enough concelament to go around." Tray suggested when talk turned from rules to strategy.

The drone will be deactivated via the command when we believe it would be considered dead.... we will of course require from u a valid shut down unit or a way to make you shut the unit down, if thats not prvided we will EMP it.

"That would be... unpleasant. I'll set them up to shutdown upon recieving a message from... " he juggles radio frequencies for a moment, "channel theta 117. Nothing else should be using that."

As for the conversation with D-Trip. "Smacking heads together gets a lot easier if you know where all the heads are. It also cuts down on the chance of anyone sneaking up and smacking _our_ heads."

Mr. White
"Tray i could give it a try with a harth spirit but, summoning is not what i am best at. It may cost me more than it's worth. Thats why I sujestind Imp. Invising people. I can always drop it if i need to oncetrate on a threat"

Results of Astral Search

Mr. White

"Ok guys it's pritty straight forward. There is no obvious direct rout. A few watchers, guards. May be a spirit doing some confustion, and back ground count is up. Probly from the location being used for the trials. Flag is in the center of the place"

about how many gurads? what is there pattern? Do that have one?

There is about 15-20 guards u assume, they have no obvious pattern but you werent there for long....

if every ones ready lets get this on the move then
