ExfilINC: Parking Ticket [Skirmish]

Previously: suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/48340789/#p48347708

Following a fritzy signal to an abandoned parking lot in the depths of Oceanside slums, our merry band encountered a deal going down. Interupting the SolStar agents already staking out the hand-off of a mysterious, volatile briefcase, things escalated into a firefight.

The advanced looking operatives being handed a briefcase containing something so nefarious a security agency was set to intercept it were all quite confused by the fact that the people attacking them with fire and fury seemed rather more intent on acquiring a car.

But then.

People'd do a lot for a Firebird, rare chassis as it is.

[P1]: "Advancing on the new hostiles. Getting some odd readings from that weaponry, it's---

[P1]: !!!!!!!!

[P1]: Something ripped clean through my reactive armor, I don't have control over auxillary banks-- what the? Everything smells like bacon. Oh

oh i do not have any legs

3: What the? This isn't clear at all!
4: Stay down, we'll get them.
1: On me, move up--- argh!
3: That was a BOTIS shot! Is this a UNCC kill team?

Assault group, what's your status?

A3: Took a shot. Holding. Quit panicking, these people aren't that well armed. Concentrate fire and move up. We'll hold them.

You people spook too easy.

A5: Uh, t-this is Alpha-Five! Something compromised our turret controls!

A2: Say again? Oh bugger.

3: Assault team, report, what's taking so long?

A5: Assault team compromised! 1-3 are down. Who are these people?! I'm rebooting the turret controls, we can't move out of this garage with the parking barriers up. Fall back to me and we'll hold them here.

3: You people have rocket pods, Assault! You're wearing 20.000 credits worth of contraband combine tech!

A5: It's not helping much!

3: Oh grey star this - this is Harvest-3 to Moon. Moon, we've got party crashers on to the premises and we're bleeding people fast. We're pulling back to the main garage for a holding action. Get us some support over here! Huh? No, they're not Buccini's men - the dreammakers people all fled the moment things turned weird. Probably gave us away.

Bring up the contingency. Yes, both of them!

3: I'm not going to pay them /not/ to get me out of this mess, am I? If the UNCC want to try to stop us, then they'll need more then legion armor and rifles. Get it done

P1: Woooh everything's spinning i have lost a loooot of blood. wieeee

3: And activate the emergency self-det on P-323-Sparrow.

3: Do I really sound like I care?

3: - You, 4! Stop 'em here!

4: W-why can't I have the briefcase?

3: Your hands are too delicate.

Ah, Roma! Just what a man of my oracular optionality wanted to see.

You can watch my back while I argue with the UNCC for this NeuroRes job! This is a plush office, it really quite is. Or be a sport and help out those poor ground-sloggers. Here, give me the datapad, we can joyride on their outgoing lines.

Also I've got your coat. It compliments my hair! But old Merky don't steal from his crew, so you can have that back, yes? Also it makes me look like a rave rainbow.

I'm impressed, you actually made me want to use this sword for something besides toast and deflecting bullets.

Here's the deal. You're going to drop your weapons and anything of value and fuck right off, or I'm doing some impromptu surgery and seeing what cyberware I can pawn off to our ambiguously European theif/merc/comma-pfft yeah right- whatever he is.

Solstar! We did your job for you. Big suprise, I know.

Lirin you have some 'splaining to doooo. Like how did we end up on this rock of shit? Why do I have disparate memories of flexing, throwing swords, and cosplayers? Who thought a butter knife should be this sharp?

I think you fail to realize the incompetence of scientists on this planet rookie. Talk to Solstar and maybe they'll give you a Lazer Katana

Okay Lir- I mean SoL command... We have what you want. We're willing to give you the case in exchange for some equipment. I'll even sweeten the pot by getting my team to check out that lab on behalf of your client.

The equipment first mind you. Sound solid?

"Swords are first priority" Broke chimes in, further raising the question why he's getting you to do this.
Mind you, the reason he got Cub to negotiate is because Broke's name is worryingly apt at times.

The Solstar personel drive off, their listening station packed into the back of the APC in a rush.

They've left behind a small pile of explosives and definitively nearly illegal guns. Pockets being what they are it's unlikely you can fit in more than 2 extra grenades along with whatever else you're carrying.

Maybe Merkalin can swing by with Roma and the rest of the people he's been excitedly gathering for a "small trip" to pick up the rest. If not, scavengers will clean it out quite quickly.

And then there's the matter of the Firebird. Not a scratch on the armored chassis, and not a dent in the clear glass. But someone was siphoning off an awful lot of power to charge what might be an illegal underground lab.

"Red Moon, Hedgehog, the Desert... I know you have it. I was there. It's mine. Give it to me. IwantitIwantitIwantitIwantit."
