Game Turn 6

TEAM A
===================

Tobias:

From where you are standing on the platform looking back you can see that the shivers are wrapping up their operations. Wont be too long more before their done, Your Almost finished your sweep of the platform and are on the way back to the crime scene when your pretty sure you herd something behind you again. You spin around again and this in turn startles Vigo who spins around too but there is nothing there. Cursing to yourself you begin to slowly walk forwards again back towards the crime scene again the adrenaline now pumping through you, which heightens your senses, your walking slightly behind vigo who now appears to have taken a flanking position. Jumping at shadows. You think to yourself, god your like a raw recruit first day back at meny smiling to yourself you ...... <FLICKER>

Vigo:

You are standing next to Tobias on the platform he appears to be looking back towards the crime scene you look back also and see that the shivers are wrapping up their operations, better head back you think to yourself nothing else to see here. You begin your walk back along the platform when suddenly Tobias spins around hand on his side arm. You spin around not knowing what to expect!... but see nothing. you laugh swearing softly to yourself, you both set off again back down the platform, still laughing to yourself jumping at shadows what did you expect was going to be there you think to yourself its almost as if the ...... You hear Tobias behind you it seems like he's stopped moving you hear him grunt and exhale sharply you get the feeling someone is behind you again you spin around raising your weapon ready to open fire you only get half way through your spin when ..... <FLICKER>

===================

TEAM B

Qwertz:

You Look up at the balcony you want to reality fold too. You visualize it in your mind and begin the complex mathematical equations required to fold space. Smiling inwardly you think to yourself there's no great mystery to what you can do in the end everything all your powers and abilities the laws of physics are just complex mathematical equations. Opening your mind to the power of ebb you allow the FLUX to pour through your mind and into the real world. "Well you think to yourself its not all your powers rely on equations, its the maths and the power of FLUX that enables you to do what you do" You finish the last of the equations in your head and like tumblers in a lock everything clicks into place the balcony and the point in space and time your standing in become one , you disappear from one point and instantly re-appear at the other. Standing 11 stories up looking down at the point you were just at. The FLUX leaves your system making you shudder for a moment its like coming down from an adrenaline rush. You draw your weapon and cautiously peer into the apt. you are looking into the front living room of an apt the lights are off and the TV is on. its a standard apt from what you can see. there is a couch in the center of the room with a man snoring asleep on it. An open bottle of whiskey sits resting beside him. You try the balcony door and it is open. You easily sneak past the drunken sleeping human the smell of whiskey is thick in the air. you reach the door to his apt. <CLICK> its locked. Cursing to yourself you can't seem to find the key to his apt. After several unsuccessful minutes of searching you see the keys on a table next to him. You creep up to the table and take the keys. You reach the door and unlock it and the snoring stops. without looking to see if the human is awake or not you open the door slightly and slip through it closing it behind you. Your standing out in an empty corridor at one end of the corridor you see a lift and a stairwell the other is an emergency exit. You hear noises in the Apt you've just emerged from you'd better think quick what you want to do....

Calm and Eglon:

You start forward weapons at the ready, the entrance to the laundry room is separate to the main lobby of the apt block. There is a short flight of steps up leading to a door. and as you approach you see qwertz disappear into thin air. The shivers kick into action fanning out taking up defensive positions outside to cover the main entrance and the entrance to the laundry room which you are about to breech. You see Ro'weeina enter the main complex on her own. You approach the door and you hear what sounds like a struggle inside. You open the door covering each other as you go. You enter to see a woman struggling with a basket of laundry she takes one look at calm and then one look at the almost insane toothy smile of eglon drops the basket of laundry and screams. After a few frantic moments you manage to calm to woman down telling her your SLA operatives and apologizing you proceed to check the area out. apart from the near hysterical women cowering in the corner the place is quite. Its a room with 10 washing machines and 10 dryers. and a stairs leading up. You move up the stairs which leads to the back of the lobby area. From here there is an employee stairwell the main stairs for guests and residents, the lift and the emergency exit. You can already see Ro'weeina taking the stairs so you both decide to cover the employee stairwell. You proceed up 10 flights of stairs unhindered meeting no one. Until you reach level 10. You make your way out onto level 10. There is a lift, the stairwell and an emergency exit. Thinking to yourselves You can either enter the suspects apt now or wait for the rest of the team to arrive.

Ro'weeina:

You move forward not bother to wait for the rest of lazy squad to get their a$$es in gear. You move forward up the stairs and into the main lobby. The main receptionist on the desk looks up and notices your fully armed there is a panic look in her eyes but you quickly flash your SLA badge in the hopes that she doesn't call it in as its currently revoked. She takes the badge from you and at that moment you hear a scream from down a floor below you. The receptionist picks up a phone and makes a call, after a breif phone call she seems to be happy that everything is ok and puts down the phone. she hands you back the badge saying "seems like there are a few of you in the building today i hope everything is ok", you take your badge back and make your way towards the stairs. As you do you notice calm and eglon emerge from a door with stairs leading down with a guilty look on their faces. maybe the stormer eat someone you think to yourself. Making your way up the stairs you reach the 8th floor when you though you saw something on the stairwell above you. You cautiously make your way to the 9th floor but you don't see anything, The only thing you see is a small man and his pet poodle walking from the 10th floor. He passes you and seems to look down at you in only a rich stiff upper middle class citizen would someone wearing a kilt and brandishing a claymore. The dog growls at you but one look sends the dog whimpering. Your standing at the door the the 10th floor now. Thinking to yourselves You can either enter the suspects apt now or wait for the rest of the team to arrive.

===================
TEAM A:

VIGO AND TOBIAS

.....<FLICKER> The lights in the station flicker for a moment and then shine VERY brightly. It takes a few moments for your eyes to re-adjust to the brightness levels. Your eyes adjust and you both are still standing on the platform exactly where you were a moment ago. There is nothing else here, No one following you and that dimness that was around a few moments ago is gone. You turn off your shoulder mounted flash lights and turn back towards the crime scene ... which is no longer there!! The body is gone as are the shiver units and the media team that were being interviewed. The platform is completely deserted! Funnily enough neither of you are as nervous as you should be, Weapons drawn you sneak up pillar to pillar towards where the crime scene was. Rounding the final pillar there is a figure standing on the stairwell you point your weapons in the figures direction and before you squeeze off a round you realize your pointing your weapons at a shiver. He has his stun baton raised in a defensive type "oh my god dont shoot me please" position. You lower your weapons.

Oh lord its you!! says the shiver. He talks into his COMS "sir this is Lt Godsend at the rail station i've found them sir repeat I've found the missing operatives" looking at you again he says "you do realize you've been listed as MIA for the last 36 mins, we've had no idea where you've been". All your squad mates moved out to an apt complex 2 blocks away. That was about 35 mins ago and no one has seen you since, are you both ok?"

You a little confused by all this. Is was literally 2 seconds ago you were standing on that platform looking at the shivers. The lights flickered and got bright and now your missing 36 mins of time??

what the hell is going on??

GAME TURN: 7

Group 1: Eglon,Calm and Roweeina

Calm, Eglon and Ro'weeina Creepy towards the apartment door, making as little noise as they can (and for a stormer thats something of a miracle) You make it all the way to the door without making a sound. Stacking up against the door you draw your respective weapons and make ready to breech the apartment.

Roweeina:
With an uneasy tension building in the group Roweeina Raises her boot to kick the door in. As Steel toe meets wood there is a resounding {CRUNCH} the door doesn't budge an inch. Freezing on the spot, an almost unbearable pain shoots up and down your leg and its takes every ounce of reserve and cool you have not too scream out in pain. (LOOSE 3 HP to your left leg), Limping away from the door for a moment to recover gather yourself and cursing under your breath you hope you haven't lost the element of surprise. The stormer moves forward to your position and you move in behind him the pain in your leg still burning.

Eglon:
Realizing that you might have lost the element of surprise you figure that its either now or never you move into position where the frother was, seeing how that door caused the frother some pain you take no chances raising your fist you hit the door as hard as you possibly can. The door bursts inwards in a shower of wood and splinters as its knocked off one of its hinges. Bullyboy at the ready you move into the apt. [insert cheesy 80s action movie line here]

Calm:
If the frother didn't alert the occupants of the apartment that someone was coming then the stormer certainly did the shivers guarding the front door on the ground floor probably herd that. The stormer moves into the apartment weapon drawn, Followed closely by the frother who seems to have recovered now and is moving normally again. As you begin to move in other apartment doors creek slowly open as other curious people begin to emerge from other apartments to see what the noise was. With that you slip into the apartment behind the frother.

Your group moves slowly into what appears to be a silent darkened apartment all the lights are off and after closer examination they look like they are all smashed. there is some sort of crude writing drawns on all the walls, scribbles from pen, paint, etched in with a blade of some sort, they are everywhere. On the walls, the floor, the ceiling. Clearing the first and 2nd rooms there is still no one in sight. Only the living room left. As you approach you hear a noise behind you only to see qwertz creeping into the apt.


Group 2: Nonn

Reaching the emergency stairwell you draw your weapon and move as quickly and as quietly as you can to the 10th floor. As you open the emergency door on You hear a CRASH and a sound like wood splintering. As you move down the corridor doors open as people step out into the corridor to see what the noise was and just as quickly bang shut when they see you moving down the corridor with your weapon drawn. "thats all i need" you think to yourselves a firefight in an apartment corridor with civi's popping up like turkeys at a turkey shoot. better check my target ID's you think to yourself. more innocent civilian loss of life will mean more paperwork for you. You reach the targets apartment only to find the front door smashed inwards. You creep inside the dark apartment you can see your squad mates in the next room. Ro'weenia turns to look at you as she seems to have spotted you first. Moving up to join the rest of the squad you move into the living room which looks like the one you crept through one floor below. All apartments are built the same. Looking out onto the balcony you see a man standing on the balcony his back to you, arms outstretched, face held high so the rain splashes onto his face. Two stone Statues of angels are perched on the balcony outside after a moment he lowers his hands and turns around to face the group. Opening the balcony door he croaks aaaahhh guests please come make yourself at home i rarely have guests anymore As he moves into the room you can see that the man has no eyeballs and all the skin has been peeled from his face. Looking back at the rest of the team they seem to be transfixed on the man with no eyes, They are all frozen on the spot. And as grossly looking as he is you've seen worse on late night TV, AND you've even been to a shaktar ballet. you find you have had your weapon at your side you raise it again and point it straight at him. tsk tsk ooohh i wouldn't do that if i were you they get frightfully upset if you do says the man Your just about to ask him who gets upset when from out of the shadows emerge another man he too is disfigured and mutated he's holding a leash with 4 carrion rats on the end of them.

The man walks over to a draw opens it maticously Now he says as he reaches carefully inside and putting a mask up to his face that you now recognize all too well. who are you, what are you doing here and who else knows about this place he takes out 2 Long serrated knifes from the draw aswell. were going to have a little talk you and i

Group 3: Tobias and Vigo

As you leave the shiver behind you emerge from the rail station to a wet raining mort evening. Again there are 2 shivers guarding the front of the station which has shiver cordons and signs saying the station will be closed off until further notice. After a brief exchange of words they send you on your way. Double timing it you reach the apartment complex to see a shiver APC and a squad of shivers at the front door. a Lt Harris meets you and after your identity's are confirmed and that your part of the squad already in the building the quickly let you through, They explain they were given orders to stay here and guard the building, no one in or out without verification first. As you leave the shivers you enter the building and take the stairs to the 10th floor. between the 8th and 9th floors you see running towards you a half naked drunken man he runs past you screaming about someone being in his apartment and when he catches them he'll kill them. but you pay it no mind and he bumbles down the stairs. You arrive at the 10th floor and cautiously proceed. You can see several confused looking tenants milling about the in corridor grumbling to no one in particular about all that racket down in 232. They see you coming and just like that with a bang of doors shutting and bolted tightly, the corridor empties. Apt 232 is right at the very end of the corridor, You sneak up to the corridor and you can hear voices inside you peek around the corner of the door frame to see into the dark apartment. You can see a mutated man looks like a ghoul he's holding the leash of 4 carrion rats, and standing next to him is the killer, he is holding 2 knifes and is talking to nonn. The brain waster doesn't appear to be too bothered by all this but the rest of the squad are standing as still as statues. There in your line of fire too you can't get a clean shot off at the killer. He appears to be addressing nonn he is saying were going to have a little talk you and i

Game Turn 8
=======

Tobias:

As you make your way across the living space towards the mutant talking in a hurried voice, When you flash your badge quickly a puzzled look of confusion flashes accross the mutants face. He Glances over at his companion looking for answers but the killer seems to have vanished along with Nonn. That frackin brain waster you think to yourself what's he up too now? the mutant seems to have completely forgotten your even standing in front of him as he looks around the apartment for the killer. Several things happen at once you are now only a few feet away from the mutant when all of a sudden There is a snarl from one of the carriens as it senses you near by, the mutant holding the carriens starts to turn his attention away from his search and back towards you, putting your full force behind it you leap into the air land on one of the carriens back and springboard forward towards the muant outstretched hitting him full force as hard as you can in the chest with your mutilator glove. There is a satisfying crunch as your mutilator glove connects with his rib cage followed by that familiar sound of an electrical discharge knocking the wind out of him, you land on the floor next to your target as the mutant grunts and lets go of the chain leash that is holding the carriens, in the intervening seconds the sound of gunfire echoes around the apartment and the mutant falls to his knees screaming. with that the carriens go bezerk, you start to stand back up as the carrien you stood on has gotten back up and barrel rolls into you hissing and clawing at your chest. (loose 1 hp to chest) the rest of the now frenzied carriens charge towards the rest of your squad who seem to have snapped out of what ever trance they were in at the sound of gunfire. getting back up and pushing the carrien to one side you face your opponents a very wounded and very annoyed mutant and a carrien rat.

Vigo:
As you move into the apartment you see tobias moving towards the mutant holding the carriens but there is no sign of the killer at the moment you lost sight of him. For now you decide to back tobias up and you just hope that nonn can keep the killer busy long enough for you to finish this fight or until your squad decides to wake up. using the shadows and darkened corners of the apartment you sneak up into position sofar the mutant doesn't seem to notice you he looks confused as tobias is talking quite fast and mentioning something about building regulations. so far tobias plan seems to be working as Your even confused as to what he's on about. clicking the safety off the pistol You get into a good firing position, your in line of sight of the mutant but your going to have to shoot in between calm and Eglon. So long as they stay absolutely still you should be able to make the shot. Within seconds of this Tobias makes his move and what follows is a spectacle you dont think you'll forget for some time to come. Tobias manages to get within a few feet of the mutant when all of a sudden one of the carrien rats starts growling and pulling on the chain. this alerts the mutant to something and he starts to turn his attention back to tobias. And like one of those action movies that you've seen on the vid this in turn causes tobias to launch himself into the air landing firmly on the back on one of the carriens and springboards himself full force at the mutant hitting him in the chest with his mutilator glove. tobias lands on the floor heavily just as the mutant grunts and lets go of the chain holding the carrien. He's doubled over in pain but he's already reaching for a machete as his side. Now or never you think to yourself and you squeeze off two rounds from the pistol. The first shot misses but the 2nd shot hits the mutant in the kneecap shattering it. Screaming in pain the mutant drops to his knees as the machete clatters to the floor. This in turn sends the carriens into a frenzy the carrien that tobias jumped on gets itself up and launches itself and him the other three carriens are heading for the rest of the squad.

Nonn:
As you hang back and watch the theatrical heroics of Tobias the killer moves from where he is and into the kitchen area. Following him into the kitchen he is already sitting at the table watching you as you enter. "please sit" he says as you as you notice the knifes he seems to be unconsciously playing with, they are a strange design a curved wavey blade with ebon glyph ruins etched into each blade that seem to be glowing slightly. You sit down and he begins to talk So your a brain waster i should have known you wouldn't have reacted, Well done, you caught me red handed congratulations, so what are you going to do now hmm, hand me in? execute me in cold blood? You can hear noises of a fight in the room you just left I must be breif i havent much time it seems so i'll drop the dramatics, I need your help, I know who you are and i know why you are here. Im doing very important work and i cant be interrupted so i'll make a deal with you and your friends you hear gunshots from inside the living room and a cry in pain let me finish my work, and i'll tell you everything you need to know about the mall. I still remember what happened. Im the only one that does, let me go, let me finish my work and i'll tell you everything you need to know, everything isnt as it seems that i can promise you. he sits back looking at you waiting for your response.

Roweeina:
Much like Eglon and Calm you see the killers true face, one of sheer madness and pain. That eyeless stare, that face, skinless and twisted. It filled you with dread. frothers dont fear much but what you saw in that face today you don't think you'll forget for a long long time. Its Something you haven't felt for a long long time. It almost makes life worth living for days like this, fear truly makes you feel alive. The image plays over in your mind and it seems to paralyze you you can hear your heart thudding in your chest. Eventually you also hear the gunshots and that brings you to your senses allot faster than the other two so it seems. who the hell is shooting in an enclosed space. If a firefight breaks out here you have no cover for a start. You can almost hear the claymore on your back screaming for blood. Any blood at this point will do. You can't actually see the killer at this point but you can see a group of three carriens racing towards you eglon and calm. Unlike The other two you seem to have snapped out of this little daze first so i guess you get the chance to do something first.

Eglon and Calm:
When you first entered the room you saw the killer for what he really was. That eyeless stare, It seemed to pierce your very soul. You've both had an excellent level of training. you've both been at meny but no one could ever prepare you for what you just witnessed it was gruesome. The sheer horror filled you, It paralyzed you, when the killer put the mask on that feeling of panic and fear passed but it took some time before you regained any kind of feeling in your body. The image of that monster played over and over in your mind but you could still see everything happening in the apartment around you. You saw Tobias walk in give some crazy reason for being here and calm knows for sure that there is no such thing as mort city department for social services. however his amature dramatics display seems to be working. You see him walk straight up to the mutant wait until the mutant lowers his guard and then launches himself at the mutant. After a few seconds you hear gunfire and something unseen and traveling at an impossible speed zings past your left ear and then a second. "OH CHRIST" you think to yourself THAT WAS A BULLET!! a firefight in an enclosed space with half the team incapacitated. and with that the adrenaline seems to kick your body into high gear the image of the horrible killer is replaced by an image in your mind of the space your standing in being occupied by lots and lots of bullets and that seems to get you going again. Still a little dazed from the events of the last few minutes you see a group of carriens racing towards you ro'weeina is already in the process of moving so you two better get moving too.

[END OF TURN]

====================

Ro'weeina calm and eglon are all back in play. Ro gets first action, followed by calm and then eglon. Then combat begins. Post wisely its your last one before combat starts.
