Cyberdeck Hunt


GM:
The Parties meet in the Ballroom and see Roe and Simon waiting for them.
Drago and Hexburn enter McDonalds and a large troll asks for Ids.

Hexburn:
I tell the troll I have no id and attempt to continue in.

Drago:
I show a fake Id to attempt getting in. And order some beer.

GM:
The troll cracks Hexburn's head spilling blood all over the floor and causing Hexburn to be knocked unconsius. The troll then blasts Drago with his Uzi III causing Drago to fall back at the blast. Two people in McDonalds come out with knifes and stab Drago to death.

Roe:
In this mission you will be competing to bring the paydata from The Excalibur corp back here. The Paydata is the prototype Cyberdeck and its associated blueprints. The blueprints can be accessed from the matrix but the prototype deck also must be brought back.
Simon will brief you on Corporation Security and Security Procedures.

HellStorm V:
Radio to team, ask where Hexburn and Drago are. Meet me in central park in hour and a half. And blast off and head towards the location where they are on my tracking system.

Simon:
Twenty foot perimeter defenses, pressure mines...

John:
I enter the ballroom wearing a tux and talking to lord maxwell.

R'thoria:
I follow Zerra, as she is my transportation.

Adrian:
I head out to my bike after Roe finishes not listening to Simon. I jump on and head out toward the meeting point.

Zerra:
I listen to Simon's instructions and then head out to the Banshee.

Jenn:
I follow Zerra when she heads out to the Banshee.

Jack:
I follow R'thoria.

John:
I walk up and introduce myself to Simon. 'Hello I am John.'

Hellstorm V:
I find where Hex and Drago are and walk in side the Mcdonalds, to get them. I also radio my team where my position is.

Adrian:
'Ten four, Hellstorm, want me to head there?'

Zerra:
'I read you HellStorm. As Adrian asks should we head over there?'

GM:
After Simon finishes his speach the other teams rush out toward their vehicles. Hellstorm lands in front of the Mcdonalds seeing fresh blood all over the pavement. Adrian Reaches her bike and after checking to make sure her weapons are all there, head toward the meeting place. The rest of your team all head toward the banshee where they get in and head toward the meeting point.

HellStorm:
'No, continue with the mission. I'll meet you at the meeting place.'
I then fly through a glass window into McDonalds.

GM:
HellStorm Flies into the window and smashes into it, leaving a large series of cracks in the window. Hellstorm falls to the ground and bounces back to his feet. Three Large Trolls come running out of the building firing their Weapons at him. A second later another troll comes out carrying a rocket launcher which he fires toward him.

HellStorm V:
I run up to one of the trolls kicking him while I fire the mini-gun at the troll with the rocket launcher.

GM:
HellStorm runs up to one of the front trolls and gives him a good kick sending him flying into the wall. The rocket launched by the troll hits Hellstorm in the shoulder causing a large dent and a moment of imbalance as the gyros stabalize. He then fires again. HellStorm Fires his mini-gun at the rocket Launching troll and turn him into minced meat. The two remaining trolls bought continue firing one of them calling for assistance.

John:
Flying over I see Hellstorm in trouble and land to help him. I fire at the trolls.

GM:
One of the trolls caught off guard by Warbird landing behind him is splattered all over the pavement. The troll that was sent flying stands up and starts firing at Warbird. The first troll continues firing at HellStorm as Three more troll rush out of Mcdonalds. One heads toward the fallen Rocket Launcher while one other fires at HellStorm and the last firing at Warbird.

HellStorm V:
I fire at the one running for the rocket launcher, I charge the other three Trolls with my Spur ready and tri claw spining(I try to hit each one with my spur and tri claw).

John:
I block the troll that is shooting at me with my sheild and fire at him with my cannon.

GM:
The troll reaches the rocketlauncher and picks it up aiming and firing it at Warbird.
The two trolls firing at Healstorm get a lucky shot and jam the mini-gun. One of the troll's upper chest is mutalated by HellStorm's Triclaw.
Warbird wounds one of the trolls causing the other to move behind a garbage can and fire around it.
The trolls cause Warbird's EMP generator to start smoking.
Four more trolls come out of McDonalds each taking strategic defense positions and two fire at HellStorm and two fire at Warbird.
The total number of trolls is nine.
The total troll deaths is three.

Adrian Silverwater:
OK, guys, I think we should go on without HellStorm. He'll join us when he's ready. Ready to go?

Simmon:
I follow Warbird in a cloaked suit and am watching from a range without seeing any distinguishing marks.

R'thoria:
I'm ready.

Jenn:
I'm with you Adrian.

Jack:
Fine.

Zerra:
Lets go for it!

Malchizedek:
I serectly follow Simmon in a stolen cloaking battle suit.

HellStorm V:
I set my mini-gun on auto-unjam and autoreload.

GM:
The rest of the group head toward the Corporation.
As they near they see a security checkpoint.

Adrian:
(radioing to the group) Any Ideas on how to bypass the checkpoint without causing undo attention?

Zerra:
Nope.

Jenn:
I've never been good with the snap ideas.

Jack:
We could blow the guards away!

Adrian:
Jack, we don't want to attract attention.

GM: (Troll battle)
Hellstorm's minigun doesn't unjam, four of the trolls stop firing and start fiddling with their weapons, it looks like they are reloading. The two firings at HellStorm continue to bombard him with shells. The shells are starting to leave tiny dents in the armor.
The Rocket hits Warbird directly in the chest causing John to be showered with sparks in the cockpit. Warbird alerts John that its power grid is failing. The two still firing at Warbird are also starting to leave tiny dents in its armor.
The Troll with the rocket launcher fires again at Warbird.

GM: (Adrian's group)
The Banshee and Adrian's Bike are now about one and a half blocks from the first checkpoint.

John:
I use the Cockpit fire extinguisher to put out the fire then switch to alternate power. I then proceed to fire at the trolls reloading.

GM:(troll battle)
John puts out the in-cockpit fires and the fumes in the cockpit start causing breathing problems. Warbird's power grid cycles. John fires at the trolls reloading but doesn't hit any because they are blocked from firing by garbage cans.

John:
I vent the cockpit and shoot the trash cans and trolls with my rocket Launcher and assualt cannon.

HellStorm V:
I activate my triclaw and I fly toward them using all the speed and power I have and attempt to hit the four reloading. I'm very pissed off.

GM:
Hellstorm Launches off the ground toward the first of the four reloading trolls. The troll is decapitated before he even notices HellStorm's movement. HellStorm turns Sharply to the left to catch the next troll. But is unable to turn sharply enough to catch it. A large flash appears suddenly blinding everyone without high quality flare comps including John, Simmon, and Malchizedek. Warbird blows all its fuses. Shutting it down. Two of the nine trolls continue firing. The rest are blinded.
total trolls still in battle: 2
total trolls killed: 5
total Trolls blinded: 5

John:
I reset all of my fuses and fly into the air then shoot at the blinded trolls. Then I also try to land on the ones that I miss with my shooting.

Simon:
Speeds toward the area where the troll battle is going on.

Malchizdek:
I follow Simon. (still cloaked of course)

GM(troll battle):
John resets warbird's fuses and waits the few minutes for the suit to reboot. Simon nears the area where the trolls are fighting HellStorm and Warbird and recognizes HellStorm. The two remaining trolls concentrate their efforts on hellstorm, seeing warbird has been struck by lightning. The Troll's bullets start registering small damage points on Hellstorm's internal status scanners. He feels his armor starting to be penetrated.
total trolls still in battle: 2
total trolls killed: 5
total trolls blinded: 5

Hellstorm V:
I dont care about what is happening to my armor and fly in to do head to head combat with the trolls a retract my spur ready to cut throught them.

Adrian Silverwater:
"Ok, fine, We'll try to bluff it, we only have a few seconds to decide our stories."

John:
I spin around and fire at the trolls with my auto cannon and then High tail it outa there.

Simon:
Hops into the battle using his cloaked battlesuit and attempts to kill some trolls

GM(troll Battle):
Hellstorm rips through 2 of the blinded trolls, instantly killing them, and wounding on of the firing trolls, as he jumps out of the way. Simon rushes into the fray, killing a troll, and getting right into Hellstorm's line of charge. Warbird's shots hit nothing but air. Ten trolls rush out the door with Uzis and other high fire rate weapons, taking strategic locations and two appear on the roof with Rocket Launchers. The Two with rocket launchers both fire at Hellstorm, seeing Warbird retreating. All the people blinded recover their vision.
total trolls in battle: 15
total trolls killed: 8

GM(real mission):
The Banshee and Motorcycles are in the vision range of the checkpoint tower. The guard looks omniously at the approaching Banshee.

Hellstorm V:
I retreat from the battle and return to the Mansion. I radio my team and tell them that I'm not comeing, but to meat me there if they get done or I will call me later I need repaired.

John:
I leave and go to the check point that we are supposed to meet at.

GM:
Hellstorm Pulls out of the fight and the trolls cheer as he leaves. Warbird Reaches the meeting point and finds it almost deserted. Hellstorm returns to the Mansion for repairs. The Banshee reaches the gate.

Zerra:
I hit the brakes to avoid plowing through the gate.

Adrian:
I pull beside the Banshee and tilt my head toward the Banshee, signaling that I'm with them.

Hellstorm V:
I will put myself in stand-by mode and wait for the repairs to finish.

GM:
The techs at the Mansion start repairing Hellstorm, they tell him it'll be about a hour with another hour for the new armor to harden. They also tell him they will add a coat of flame retardent to the armor.

The guard at the checkpoint station steps out and asks Zerra "So, yer bringin' it back?"

The Trolls start gathering their fallen comrades while Simon stands there cloaked in the street.

Malchizdek:
I continue to watch Simmon.

Zerra:
Yup, may I enter?

Adrian:
While the guard is busy, I back behind the banshee and slip my bike into the back. I then climb in myself and quietly close the door.

R'thoria:
I greet Adrian but keep my hand on my holster, in case I have to defend against the guards. I'm surprized that the guards hardly challenge us and am slightly suspicious.

John:
I continue to the mansion and help repair Hellstorm (if he will let me).

GM:
The guard replies, "Yup, I'll report your arrival to the vehicle division, remember they expect a report in two hours." He then reenters the guard booth and opens the gate. John returns to the mansion and finds Hellstorm already in stand-by mode. Simon continues to stand cloaked in the street in front of McDonalds.

Lucky Bob:
A new player has entered the mansion. Mr. Johnson brings Lucky Bob up tospeed on the latest mission. Lucky Bob smiles as he leaves. He then gets on his Harly and speeds off to catch up with the others.

Zerra:
After the gate opens I continue into the complex. Heading toward the Research and Development Wing.

Adrian:
I look at Zerra and R'thoria and ask, "Wonder why we got in so easily?"

Malchizdek:
I get bored with Simon and return to the Mansion.

R'thoria:
I shrug at Adrian and draw my Allegiance Alpha from my pocket, turning it on. I load the nessecery programs and tell Adrian and Zerra, "I'm going to try to see if I can get any information about the layout of this building, once I can find a decent jack."

Hellstorm V:
I would like to request to the repair men after i come out of the stand by mode to add 2 more tons of armor on my suit and add 10ft more of height, also 4 more ft of width to me as well.

John:
I fly after the others and will assist in any way that I can to accomplish the mission for Hellstorm's team in otherwords I want to help.

GM:
Zerra drives through the outer areas of the complex and nears a second set of gates. This set of gate appears to be mostly automated.
John and Lucky Bob Leave the Mansion toward the Excalibur Corp Complex.
The Repair team removes the outermost layer of damaged armour from Hellstorm.
A large truck runs into Simon in his cloaked suit and sends him flying across the road. The truck's front is totaled.

Adrian:
"R'thoria, I think we just found your jack." I comment, pointing at the automated gate. I remove my Fichette Security 500 from my bike and strap the hidden holster on. I then pull out my Colt America L36.

GM:
Zerra reaches the second set of gates, an automated voice requests an ID card. The group sees a datajack and a card slot on the device. A group of eight bikes charge out of the R&D Builting toward the second gate Exit. R'thoria notices one of them is carrying two Cyberdecks, one of which she does not recognize, but has PT-1024 stenciled on its cover.
John nears the outer gate. Lucky Bob is about half way to the Complex.
The Repair team summons a technical design team and the two start work on Hellstorm's increase in size, and weight.

Adrian:
I jump out of the Banshee and fire at the approaching bikers around the door.

Zerra:
I look at R'thoria and point at the datajack.

R'thoria:
I nod, and move over to the datajack (leaving the car if nessecary). I plug in my AA, and begin my search. I point to the card slot and look questioningly at Zerra.

Zerra:
'We don't have any access cards for this place.'

GM:
R'thoria jacks in and finds herself in the midst of a Blue Slave Node. She sees the controls for all the security gates in the complex as well as a link to a SPU which she sees in the distance. A grey colored snake slithers toward R'thoria.
John passes the Main Gate. Lucky Bob is about ten blocks from the complex. The Biker group all slide to a halt and using the armoured bikes as shields return fire at Adrian.

JC Denton:
I know my mission by memory. I will pick the two Agents that I have known for, and worked with, my whole life. I will take the private helicoptor to the mansion to meet the Freak.

John:
I shoot at the oncoming bikes with my cannon and attempt to fly through the second gate so the others may have access through it.

GM:
Adrian catches one of the bikers in the head, killing him. John's attack from above catches the Bikers offguard and he mutulates three of them, the remaining four bikers split into two firing groups, one at the Banshee the other at John. John is unable to crash through the second gate because of the Banshee's location.
The grey snake nears R'thoria's Computer persona and requests an Identification.
The Engineers & Repair Crew agree on a plan and begin the work on Hellstorm.
JC Denton & his two accociates head out toward Mr. Maxwell's Mansion. The pilot, doesn't ask any questions, being used to piloting people to places for no appearent reason.

R'thoria:
I greet the snake, and run my sleaze program.

Adrian:
I continue to fire at the bikers, attempting to avoid hitting the Cyberdecks.

Zerra:
I bring Banshee's guns around to target the bikers, and start firing.

GM:
The biker's bullets totally miss Warbird and don't effect the banshee's armor. Adrian wounds another Biker, but he continues firing. Zerra blasts the two bikers firing at Warbird to bits, and the biker carring the two cyberdecks, drops them, and hops on his bike, speeding off. The Wounded Biker follows a second later.
JC Denton's Chopper nears the Maxwell Mansion and the pilot gives clearance codes, and is intructed where to land. The chopper lands and a single oddly dressed female walks toward the chopper.
Lucky bob reches the first gate just as the two retreating bikers reach it and the wounded biker crashes into Lucky Bob. The Other biker, continues away without looking back. The guard at the gate starts making calls.
The snake's animation freezes for a moment as the sleaze program takes effect and after a moment the snake replies, thank you. The snake then slithers off to its patrol of the node. You are now registered with this IC.

Adrian:
I rush forward and grab the two decks that the biker dropped and jump back into the banshee closing the doors. I then type into R'thoria's deck that I think we have the prototype deck.

R'thoria:
I jack-out to examine the cyberdecks.

John:
I chase after the retreating bikers, stopping to annihilate Luckybob. And shoot at the bikers with my autocannon.

GM:
R'thoria jacks out and starts examining the two decks, she recognizes the first on as a Fairlight Excalibur. The second is unlike anything shes seen before, it matches the specs we collected at the start of the mission.
John rushes off after the retreating bikers smashing the gate, the three bikes, the wounded biker, and Luckybob in the proccess. The remaining biker is mowed down by Warbird's volly of autocannon rounds. The biker dies instantly but luckybob only gets his body, waist down, crushed.
The Repair crew finishes the Upgrades to Hellstorm.

John:
I blast Luckybob with my autocannon at point-blank range.

Luckybob:
Wailing in agony, I attempt to plead for my miserable life. I pray to God that something happens to keep him from killing me.

Zerra:
I back the banshee away from the gate and turn around to head back to the mansion. I drive as fast as I can.

Adrian:
I reload my guns and store them back in their holsters and man one of the Banshee's guns, just in case.

John:
I return to the Mansion.

GM:
The Banshee rushes out through the exit gate of the first gate and heads off back to the mansion. The banshee & Warbird reach the mansion with no problems. Roe meets Adrian and R'thoria in one of the small meeting rooms, and congradulates them on their successful retrievel of the Cyberdeck.
Warbird's autocannon turns Luckybob's upper body into a reddish pile of flesh and lead.

Luckybob:
In my dieing breath I will all my stuff to Fenix.

Fenix:
I leave my computer complex and head toward the mansion. I just heard that my dear friend was killed. I am thirsty for vengance I head toward the mansion at top speed, I am thirsty.
