Limit of Infinity: A Shadowrun RP (Game thread)

[Floris2123]

Finwe dressed in a delivery suit was hiding in the back of the truck. He had even dyed his hair blond and was wearing special contacts that he placed on his eyes those lenses couldn't fall off wouldn't want to leave behind evidence. They changed his eye color so that he appeared to have green eyes. He also wore his hair different he was wearing a blue trucker cap with the logo of the moving company, and had hidden most of his hair inside the cap. He didn't want to be recognized by anyone from previous missions. He was surrounded by hidden weapons and other things they needed for the mission.

"Alright, looks like this is gonna be easier'n a Taiwanese tranny on a two-dollar Tues...day..." Clay looked at the person standing outside."Oh, look. This guy's even uglier'n ol' Wulfy. Just act casual, I'll do the talkin'." Finwe hadn't talked to Clay before. He seemed like a decent man though. "Sure I will just keep quite." Finwe hid behind one of the crates just in case they would open the truck.

Oh no... if he opens the truck there is a change he will find out what we are really transporting. Finwe sneaked to the back of the truck he sat in a dark spot near the door if that troll was to enter he would shock him and then they could go in. That was unless Clay manged to talk his way out of this. He listened to the conversation between the 2.

"It's just one o' those days, ain't it?" Finwe then heard the door open he was still hiding ready to strike should it be needed. "Yeah, we're shipping these in for a mister, uh...mister Voo...Vow...Vogue?...I mean if I had that kinda money, I'd find somethin' better to do with it, know what I mean?" Finwe was surprised by this mans social skills. He hoped it would work on the troll. "I can think of a few interesting purchases I could get for the same cost as this damned wood stuff." It was then quite for a few minutes Finwe was getting worried then he heard the troll say. Can't seem to find your papers, but that's no surprise, and this certainly sounds like Vougner a'right.....Well, I can't just let you through - I'll need to call Vougner to see if he ordered this shit." Finwe was hoping that Robert was in position if he wasn't he would probably search the truck. And that would probably go horribly wrong.

 

[Gabanuka]

Roberts was sat at his desk face Sebastion. The two had spent the last few minutes in in friendly conversation reminiscing about school days and past adventures, all of it was nonsense but vague nonsense that killed that kept their minds off the mission. The two were professionals and use to the line of work but it takes many years of the anxiousness to fade. the two had very little to do beyond helping the rest of the group through the building but that did little to calm their nerves.

When the phone rang they both become tense, eyeing the thing as if it was some crouched cat. The phone showed that the call was coming through from the shipping dock, Roberts forced himself to smile.

"Excuse me Casper, I have to take this"

He spoke in a kind tone; keeping up the facade of friendship. When he answered the phone his tone changed to one of complete contempt

"This better be important Stacy, I have work to do and I don't need to be disturbed but some petty internal politic"

After a few seconds the call was patched through.

"Vounger here, what do you want?"

 

[hiei82]

"Vounger here, what do you want?" the voice said over the line, an air of annoyance in his voice. "Big surprise there"

"Vougner; it's shipping. I have a shipment of mahogany furniture here for you, but I've got no documents to approve it. I need your go ahead to let it through." a man said - obviously troll by his accent - said; his voice displaying his annoyance.

 

[Gabanuka]

"I need your go ahead to let it through"

Roberts allowed himself a quick smile before slipping back into his annoyed persona

"You called me for that?" He voiced dropped low to give an air of menace, given Vougner's accent the result was rather laughable. "Christ its like no one in this place has a clear thought in their head. They're just postmen for God's sake, what can they do? Just send the damn things through, the delivery men know where everything needs to go so try not to get in their way."

He hung up the phone before giving the troll time to respond, looking up he smiled at Sebastian

"Looks like I'm getting even more little presents today."

 

[hiei82]

"...Just send the damn things through, the delivery men know where everything needs to go so try not to get in their way."

The troll closed the communication line and sighed; "Why do I put up with these bastards?" he thought aloud, then waved the group in. "Get on in - you've been cleared!" he yelled, moving toward the next truck. he typed a few commands into his digital pad, and moved on.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Looks like I'm getting even more little presents today." Roberts said with a definite smile, safe in the knowledge that the delivery team had arrived, and all the equipment was here as well. After going over the message from Charlie and Taylor, Sebastian smiled as well.

"Well John, someone appears to be very lucky today. And I have just recieved some good news from a few contacts on my end; it appears they are in position for the next stage of the project, all they need is the go ahead, and for everything to be in place." Sebastian remarked, taking a sip of coffee afterwards.

"I must say John, this coffee is fairly good; not as flavoursome as the stuff back home, but its at least drinkable."

 

[3quency]

Nik held up a hand and ran it along the air, feeling for the magic. He felt a war tingling and a strange ringing in his ears as his hand drew close to the barriers NeoNET had up.

He looked to the other two.
"Rod, soon as this goes down any mages they got on site'll feel it. I can probably disable it from a distance though, you'll just need t' move fast. I'll be most useful up there."
He gestured to one of the nearby buildings. He'd checked it out a couple of times before and it would suit him just fine: technically outside NeoNET's territory, not corporate or city and best of all lightly guarded. Hopefully he'd have a nice wide view of the compound from the roof, but he'd need to get up there first.

Spoiler: OOC

If anything I just said contradicts what we know/what's in play I'll happily change it, just gimme a yell. Sorry if the post seems a little incoherent, it's been a while.

 

[drmigit2]

"Rod, soon as this goes down any mages they got on site'll feel it. I can probably disable it from a distance though, you'll just need t' move fast. I'll be most useful up there."

Venaticus let out a rare smile, not that he was compulsed, just that he felt it was fitting. "I am hoping they will. See, with Wulf causing a huge mess and a magical barrier coming down, all of the guards will assume Wulf is attempting to break in. As such, a single guard sneaking through would hardly go noticed. Once I am inside, your jobs are mostly done, staying alive turning into your new missions. Though I will need it to come down again once I am done. Don't wait for me, I have other things that need to be done after this."

Rodrigo looked upon Kilmer again, So this is where it begins. I suppose he might find out if I use my old SIN, but considering my later intentions, a meeting seems inevitable.

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

"Get on in - you've been cleared!"

"Well, thank ya kindly," Clay said, tipping his hat to the Troll shortly before shutting the truck's compartment door and heading back to the cab. "Piece-a-fuckin' cake. Am I right, Finwe? Hop in front and let's get this show back on the road. We got a delivery to make."

With that, the runner pulled forward, deeper into the compound and into the building's shipping and receiving offices. Clay steered the truck into a fairly isolated section in the unloading zone, put it in park, then shut the engine off. Looking in the rear-view mirror and adjusting his cap before scanning the immediate area and putting in his earpiece that was made to look like a standard hands-free device. "Execs, this is the Delivery team. We're in. Ya copy?"

 

[Floris2123]

"Well, thank ya kindly,"Clay then shut the truck's compartment door. And he headed back to the cab. "Piece-a-fuckin' cake. Am I right, Finwe? Hop in front and let's get this show back on the road. We got a delivery to make." Finwe sighed relieved that they had gotten through. Finwe quickly joined Clay and sat on the front seat. "You handled that well Clay I am impressed. And I agree lets get on with out delivery, we have been held up long enough."

With that, the runner pulled forward, deeper into the compound and into the building's shipping and receiving offices. Clay steered the truck into a fairly isolated section in the unloading zone, put it in park, he then shut the engine off. He put in his earpiece. "Execs, this is the Delivery team. We're in. Ya copy?" Finwe smiled as he slipped in the back of the truck. "So what were we supposed to do now again?" He asked Clay he wanted to be certain not to screw this up. Finwe also inserted his earpiece, they needed to be able to communicate with each other at all time. That would determine success or failure on this mission.

Kilmer Archive - Outside

As Nik reached put with his magic, he felt the power of the dual-natured wall of plants used to generate the barrier. The barrier was strong and multi-layered - befitting a place dedicated to high security. To most mages, such a barrier would represent a significant difficulty, but police work proved an ample training ground for such skills. None the less, cutting away at the layers was time consuming - and time was something they didn't have...

Except, they did. Despite the obvious threat to their security, no mages came running from the building to stop them; or even give warning of the danger to their less-than magically inclined allies.

Wulf and Venaticus were got into their positions, but still there was no reaction. One-by-one, the layers disappeared until none were left. Nik could scarcely believe how easy it was.

Until he noticed the bright red dot on his chest, quickly growing wider and hotter.

Novatech - Shipping bay

As the delivery truck disappeared into the inner workings of the facility, the Troll reached up - touching an object on his ear. "Did'ja get that? They're inside" he said in a muffled voice. He had to feel sorry for the runners - it's not like it was their fault someone had warned them about the attack.

"Ah well, sometimes life is drek"

Novatech - Roof

Charlie watched for incoming problems and waited for the "all clear" from the others - telling them it was safe to proceed into the building proper. It was only because of this that he caught the slight glimmer of moving metal on the stairs up to the roof, and the sound of heavy boots as they ran up the stairs.

The only good news was that whoever they were, were still three floors down - not that this would be true for much longer.

Novatech - Vougner's Office Area

The coffee was good - and real no less. This of course, was a much lesser concern then the sudden announcement "Vougner" heard over his personal comm-link. "Attention all Novatech staff, attention all Novatech staff: Security is performing a surprise evacuation drill. All employees are to proceed to their designated evacuation zones. Visiting guests will accompany will remain with their guide for the duration of the drill. We apologize for any inconvenience."

This of course, was met with a chorus of groans and - more importantly - confused stares, whose meaning only became apparent when Stacy asked a pair of questions. "A surprise evacuation? Have we ever done this before?", her tone giving away the rhetorical nature of the questions.

 

[Redryhno]

Wulf was in position, an alleyway directly below where Lone Star was currently peeling away at the barrier before his eyes. The Astral was strangely silent, very little movement in terms of mages around the place. In fact, he wasn't even sure he'd seen a mage's signal since he'd been watching the compound, strange that. The sun was bright and was a bit painful to him. Whose idea was it to raid this place in the middle of the day, again?

The barrier was taken down and that's when he began his part of the run, distraction, distraction, distraction. He revved his Fenris three times, to make sure the guards didn't miss the noise, to which he then sped out, reaching a quarter of what it was capable by the time he almost hit the gate, sticking a foot out and turning as he fired three smoke grenades into the compound. The machine should be able to get through with that much. He opened two bursts onto the guards, not intending to harm them, just gain their attention and ire. He then used the momentum left to continue down the street, body low to the bike, coat covering himself and pulled up to obscure his face as best he could. Within moments he was around to the other side of the compound.

Once there, he fired another three smoke grenades to cover Rodrigo's entrance. Another duo of shots from his side-mounted H&K attracted the confused guards attention to the other side of the compound and off he sped, hoping to maybe draw a few of them to him and keep on him. This was not going to be a good day if his instincts were anything to go by.

 

[drmigit2]

Venaticus made a note that it seemed unlikely the other two would survive this encounter. Perhaps if he had planned better, but there was simply not enough people to make this hazard free. Still, he hoped the other two could make it out alive and well. Deaths were always a shame and to be avoided when possible.

Wulf began his part of this attack, the guards had to be bewildered with all the chaos going on and hopefully anyone noticing Nik's work would get distracted as well. The noise from the bike was surprisingly loud, clocking in out of Venaticus's normal noise charts. With all of the guards focused directly on Wulf, Venaticus had an easy time slipping out of cover and into their ranks

Venaticus was able to simply mimic the surprised reactions of guards surrounding him, a trick he had been working on for a long time. The smoke covered him as he disappeared from all of their gazes. Venaticus had packed his stun-gun on this fight, it looked real enough that he could look official and it was quiet. Enough to give him the edge on anyone questioning too much. The door had an SIN identification system, everything Venaticus had still matched up and he was glad to see the NeoNET never bothered to deactivate the only man Venaticus had to murder. The door opened and Venaticus stepped into the corridors of Kilmer, the first objective.

 

[Asclepion]

The Troll allowed the van to pass, and as he did something registered in his gaze, something he may have otherwise missed, a subtle harbinger of things to come.

A lying bird, dead on impact with the road, having fallen from the sky.

---

The chamber was soon saturated with dust, a whirling particulate cloud- enough to paralyze an entire building. It was concentrated around the vent, around Taylor, flowing invisibly within the the ducts to be carried away into the bodies of their targets. Charlie could only just see the dust as it was freed from the Shaman's wings. To take off the mask now would be instant immobilization. And at the girl's mercy.

 

[3quency]

"Oh shit."
Nik dropped to the floor, hoping the lip of the building would get him lost.
He was ass-down on the roof of the building and his head rolled onto concrete unpleasantly. He'd done this kind of thing before, get spotted as a sniper and you better move quickly. As he landed, a mental command through his commlink switched the active camo in his suit on.

Christ, it had to be a sniper,right? He opened his mind and flicked on the astral, staring at where the spot was.

 

[Terratina.]

Charlie stood waiting for the others to respond. It was currently silence on the airwaves as none of them had yet responded. Marlowe's only conclusion about this was that something was up. Had Novatech caught on to the scheme? Were these communicators faulty? Charlie didn't know and not knowing made him anxious. Body shaking in anticipation, his eye darted the area, watching for trouble as insect-Taylor spread its toxic dust. Sure, the mask and his fedora didn't get along, especially in manners of style and practicality, but to remove it now was too much of a risk. He had already seen the effects of the stuff up close, and it was pretty fast-acting. With that, Marlowe hoped that the neurotoxin would be enough to stop any guards.

Wait, what was that? A glimmer of something? Metal? Footsteps?

Whatever it was, it was best to be prepared. He reloaded his Beretta, took cover and waited. Whoever it was would get to the roof soon...

"Taylor, we're about to have some company up here," He said through the communicator, "Just a head's up."

He clung to cover and waited, both for Taylor's reply and for the oncoming guards.

 

[Gabanuka]

"We apologize for any inconvenience."

Roberts watched as employees filed out of the area, a small smile played at his lips. After a few minutes the room was clear. He wasn't quite sure whether him and Sebastian could break character yet, as far as he knew the Taylor hadn't released the knock-out cloud so there was still a chance that people were manning the cameras.

"Well Casper" He turned to the man opposite "it seems are little meeting will have to be cut short"

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"We apologize for any inconvenience." A female sounding voice could be heard over the office's intercom, which was then followed by the sound of people hastily making their way out of the building; hopefully leaving the halls nice and quiet for the plan that was to unfold. Out of the corner of his eye, Sebastian noticed a small smile escape Roberts lips.

"Well, lets just hope our good friend hasn't vacated the building as well, otherwise things could get difficult for us." He thought to himself, as Roberts said something to him.

"Well Casper." Roberts then turned to face him directly. "It seems our little meeting will have to be cut short." He then added.

"I suppose your right John, such a shame though, I was rather enjoying this little chat of ours." Sebastian remarked with a slightly sad expression on his face, but of course this was just him playing along with the act.

"I guess we should move things along then." He remarked in a slightly hurried tone, putting down the now empty cup of coffee on the table, and heading over to the crate which contained his and Robert's equipment. Searching through the box that was filled with straw to help with the deception, he found the arm piece of his stealth suit that had the hacking computer, making sure that it wasn't seen by the computer; and began to work on the ventilation.

"Right, looks like they have put the maintenance access system onto a seperate grid; hence the security being slightly different. Hopefully that means I shouldn't be interupted by the main security." Sebastian thought to himself, then looked at Roberts, and began making some conversation to pass the time, whilst looking at the 'paintings'.

"Yeah, your right John, these paintings will look good in your room; especially next to the fireplace, it'll give them that attractive warming glow, that such beautiful pieces deserve." He remarked in a rather calm voice, making occasional glances to the crate, then continued to hack the maintenance system. Within a few moments, he was inside. A smile accompanied this feat.

Now then, lets make it a little cooler in here.

After doing what he was tasked with, he put the arm back inside the crate.

"Everything is in order John, all that needs to be done now is to make the call."

 

[Gabanuka]

"Everything is in order John, all that needs to be done now is to make the call."

Nodding Roberts began a call to all the other runners.

"Hello everyone, Vougner here. Just though you'd like to know that everything's ready to go, I recommend you all find the appropriate headgear for whats about to happen"

With that he reached into the case and brought out his gas-mask, Taylor might start at any second so they had to be ready, cameras be dammed. As he fumbled in the crate he found a small watch like device, with a press the cameras in the froze in place; they could still see but movement was impossible. From the create he took his Novastar and Sasquatch, the former went to its holster and then later on his back, he also grabbed Sebastian's arms and threw them to the elf.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Hello everyone, Vougner here. Just though you'd like to know that everything's ready to go, I recommend you all find the appropriate headgear for whats about to happen." Roberts said over the communicators of all the runners that were part of the NeoNET job. Sebastian caught the weapons that were thrown to him, and then set the down next to the crate. He quickly took off the business suit, switching to his stealth armour. Finally Sebastian put all his gear in their holsters.

"I'm ready." Sebastian said, his voice sounding a little deeper due to the armour.
