Didn't we kill this bitch already...? [TFV]

Raw Transcript, will edit later tonight. Posting so any ic actions the players wish to do immediately can go right up.

11:25:42] AeonThePhoenix : "I'd say I'm better at ranged combat but that doesn't mean I'm a slouch in hand to hand either." Mike responded to Donahue's questioning of his skills.

[11:28:20] Kazakin : "Yeah? Stick with Bristol then. She'll need the cover while she's doing her computer thing." Donahue said simply. "I'll find a rooftop and set myself up with my rifle. Give me the best view of the area."

[11:31:20] Tehrat : Laura grunted noncommittally, as she absently listened to them. She pulled her laptop out of the back, from underneath her seat and bootedx it up to start doing her thing.

[11:32:11] AeonThePhoenix : "Cover the hacker. Gotcha." Mike answered, doublechecking the clips in his Colts were full.

[11:34:38] AeonThePhoenix : "Shame they were running low on Etherics back at HQ... I normally use both of these rather than relying on one." Mike commented, replacing the guns under his jacket.

[11:34:57] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=9a4b617b 2 Successes.))

[11:36:15] Kazakin : "I take it you've been briefed on using earpieces? We'll keep in contact at all times via the radio." Donahue said, before giving a tight nod. "You might need the solid rounds for the woman. She's a tough bitch."

[11:36:46] Seryna : As Britol navigated the infrastructure of the City Morgue, she located the file that would give her the lay out. She simply had to bypas a security wall - which should be easy..

[11:36:58] Seryna : [2 additional suxx needed, Sa]

[11:37:01] AeonThePhoenix : "Got plenty of those." Mike reassured his colleagues.

[11:37:05] Seryna : [Sam**]

[11:38:39] Kazakin : "With a little luck I'll be able to drop her without assistance, but it's always wise to have a plan B." Donahue said, his voice blunt. The pain in his legs was ebbing away. Thank God he shouldn't have to run.

[11:41:45] Seryna : The hacker's cacphony of striking keyboards soon yielded up the blue prints of the morgue. Glancing at the street and back to the blueprints. The morgue would be past the long hall next to the offices of the medical coroner. There were no windows in the morgue area, but entry could be gained through the offices.

[11:43:53] AeonThePhoenix : "So, just for reference, what's plan B?" Mike asked.

[11:44:10] Tehrat : "Gotcha," Laura murmured triumphantly. She angled the screen so that the two men could view the blueprints. "Here," she gestured simply.

[11:45:48] Kazakin : Donahue leant over to look at the screens. "Plan B's following the ENE and getting it when it's somewhere secluded." He squinted. "Fuck. No windows. Think you can take over the internal cameras and trigger a fire alarm, Bristol?"

[11:47:36] Tehrat : "I wouldn't be able to call myself an expert if I didn't try," Laura snorted.

[11:48:50] Kazakin : "Yeah, yeah. Okay. We want this place empty. Better if we don't get in a firefight inside, she'll have the advantage with that razor. We want to funnel her out into the open, somewhere we can pick her off." Donahue said thoughtfully. "Streetmap, Bristol."

[11:50:27] Seryna : After a few moments, Bristol brought up the street map. The ofice sat on the corner of two cros streets. Both had buildings on either side. Hopefully, she wouldn't be as spry as she was earlier. Meanwhile, a few minutes had now ticked into half an hour. One would hope she wasn't as resilent as ENEs who recovered over time.

[11:51:41] Tehrat : "Got it. Wasn't too hard," Laura retorted. Hopefully, she thought, there would be something more intensive coming up later on. This was hardly testing her awesome skills.

[11:54:20] Kazakin : Donahue studied the map for a moment, gritting his teeth. "No fucking good." He shook his head. "Too many cross streets. Alright," He pushed his sunglasses up his nose. "We'll have to go for plan B- set off the alarms and lure her out. I can get a clear vantage point from this building here." He tapped the map. "Everyone good with that?"

[11:54:56] Tehrat : "No problems here," Laura confirmed reasonably.

[11:55:36] AeonThePhoenix : "If she gets out in the open and escapes we're right back to square zero... you can guarantee I'll be giving this my all and then some." Mike added

[11:57:09] Kazakin : "Yeah, I know. It's a risk. But it's better than having to file an incident report explaining why a bunch of civilians are dead. Let's move out." Donahue clipped his earpiece in.

[11:57:30] AeonThePhoenix : Mike followed suit.

[11:58:08] Tehrat : As did Laura, laptop with her to do her thing outside.

[11:58:35] Seryna : The plan in place, the agents took thier position. The initiator of the plan, Bristol, began her exploration of the morgue closed circuit cameras. Finding the file wasn't difficult, but it seemed that the morgue was a bit better protected here. [ 7 suxx needed, extended]

[11:59:36] Kazakin : Donahue settled himself onto the roof, his eye to his scope as he took careful view of the surroundings. He watched and waited, patiently.

[11:59:43] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=a7c8e240 4 Successes.))

[12:00:11] AeonThePhoenix : Mike kept an eye out while Laura worked away, hands twitching with readiness to draw and fire at a moment's notice.

[12:00:21] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=44c399fa 1 Success.))

[12:00:56] Seryna : As Mike glanced about, he noted a security guard checking his radio. He frowned and relayed something back, appearing distracted.

[12:00:56] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=7d02be3e 2 Successes.))

[12:01:56] Seryna : Triumphantly, Bristol accessed the morgue's network. After navigating a moment, she found where she could access the alarm ystem.

[12:02:24] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=6525bb80 5 successes on my overwatch perception))

[12:02:42] AeonThePhoenix : "We got a security guard acting funny." Mike radio'd. "Mind elsewhere natterin' into his talkie."

[12:04:29] Tehrat : "Just tell me when you want me to hit this," Laura commented. "Because I'm in."

[12:04:56] Seryna : As you watch, the security guard turns and heads inside of the morgue. As Donahue watches from his vantage point, he watches as several other uniformed security guards hurry into the morgue from thier various positions.

[12:08:02] AeonThePhoenix : "Guard just went inside." Mike communicated to Donahue."

[12:09:49] Kazakin : "All the guards went inside. Hit the alarms, our ENE must be up." Donahue relayed sharply. "Goggles on, see if you can pick up our Twilight."

[12:11:07] Tehrat : Nodding briskly, Laura worked on gettignt he alarms to go.

[12:11:13] Tehrat : *getting

[12:11:40] AeonThePhoenix : Mike snapped the googles on, instantly impressed with the clarity of the general night vision. A few secons later, he had changed to the Twilight setting. "Huh... this is different."

[12:13:06] Seryna : As you move, an ambulance pulls in front of the morgue. Two EMTs leap from the vehicle and hurry inside. What sort of medical emergency could be occuring inside? As you ponder this, Donahue spots a lone figure by the parking lot. The figure was slight - a blonde woman. It could be the ENE - except that she was heading *into* the morgue. She was slower than the earlier ENE, but you clearly see a weapon in her hand before she breaks one of the windows in the office and heads inside the morgue. As you hit the alarms, you imagine all sort of chaos must be occuring within, unseen by you. As Mike glanced about - he noted nothing that signalled itself to be a threat.

[12:13:24] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=dd0cbfa9 5 Successes on activating the alarms.))

[12:14:27] AeonThePhoenix : "Nothing registering on the weird-shit-o-meter yet." Mike informed the others.

[12:14:39] Kazakin : Donahue hissed through his teeth. "ENE just *entered* the morgue." He tracked her throuh the window and squeezed off a shot.

[12:15:20] Seryna : From within, you hear the sounds of shrill alarms. On her screen, Bristol saw a message that the Code 4 had occured. Code 4- a moments typing revealed that there was an assult occuring *within* the morgue.

[12:15:35] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=ffe3508c 9 successes))

[12:15:47] Kazakin : Yes, you read that right.))

[12:15:49] Tehrat : "Fighting kicking off in the morgue," Laura reported.

[12:16:18] Tehrat : Woo!))

[12:16:24] Seryna : As the woman drew herself into the window, the window was shattered by Donahuue' bullet. He can't see the outcome, but he feels confident that was a well placed bullet,

[12:16:31] Seryna : [No misse!]

[12:16:51] AeonThePhoenix : Mike remained put, following the current plan to the letter until orders changed.

[12:17:54] Kazakin : "Goggles to the window closest the parking lot. Just put a bullet in her." Donahue said quickly, eye still pressed to the scope for any sign of movement. "Our Twilight should be there. Bristol, what's the internal camera showing?"

[12:20:04] Seryna : As you watch, the alarm continues to sound. The ambulance sits, its rear doors hanging open to recieve its patient. Or at this rate, patients. Yet it was Mike who saw the window opposite of Donahue be smashed out. It seems whoever was inside had no desire to be shot. As Mike scanned with his goggles, he spots no Twilight. He does see a harsh looking woman leap through the busted window, rolling athletically away from the building. As you watch- a second blonde moves through the door. Mike immediately recognizes Emily Gillen- not her face. He sees the large, red haze that radiates from her. As he watches, the haze moves from her and takes a man shape. The 'non distinct head' turns and glances towards where you watch.

[12:21:50] AeonThePhoenix : "Busted window, one wannabe ninja and one target just sighted." Mike relayed.

[12:22:20] Tehrat : Laura quickly glanced down at the screen to locate the correct internal camera. "Gimme a second," she instructed,

[12:22:44] Kazakin : "Target location?" Donahue said quickly, readjusting his sights.

[12:23:00] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=8ee526c5 6 Successes.))


As Laura accessed the camera, she watched as a woman in a white coat fled across the screen. In the corner of the hall, a man's leg lay inert on the floor. She does not spot any ENEs - possibly they had fled out of the window that Mike was watching.

[12:25:44] Tehrat : "Crap," Laura muttered. "There-," she directed. "Bitch is on the move."

[12:27:45] Seryna : As Donahue squeezes off a well placed shot. The bullet deftly hits its mark- but the woman remains upright. Her head whips around- deformed with a bloody mass missing frim the side of her head. The red haze moves in an agitated fashion, rising up into the air towards Donahue. Unknown to Mike, the red haze was invisible to those who did not see Twilight.

[12:28:24] AeonThePhoenix : [Can Mike see Donahue's general location?]]

[12:28:32] Seratone : (zones out a bit)

[12:28:54] Kazakin : "Target the Twilight!" Donahue barked into the earpiece as he reset his sights. "This one should drop her!"

[12:29:23] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=80dac2ca 3 successes))

[12:30:43] Seryna : [Yes, he can see the haze rising up the side of the building]

[12:31:03] Seryna : [Jack, can I see your sheet?]

[12:31:36] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/8764 ))

[12:32:04] AeonThePhoenix : "ENE headed towards you D." Mike warned Donahue, pulling the Colt with the Etheric rounds and firing at Emily.

[12:32:05] Seryna : [OK, just had to verify something. Thanks]

[12:33:08] AeonThePhoenix : [Any neg mods to take into account?]

[12:33:18] Seryna : As Donahue squeezed off another shot, he marvels as the woman shows no reaction as the bullet rip through her torso. Donahue can see the hole the bullet caused, yet the woman continues on undeterred- following the first woman towards the parking lot. The two dangerous beings sprint away from the morgue...

[12:33:32] Seryna : [-1 for her speed]

[12:34:32] Kazakin : "I don't see anything." Donahue frowned for a moment through his Huginn visor. "...You're wearing your visor, the Twilight's on me! Ignore the woman!"

[12:34:58] AeonThePhoenix : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=ac2100ec (5 successes)

[12:35:04] Seryna : [another -1 if you switch aim from Emily to the Twilight]

[12:35:30] AeonThePhoenix : [Was aiming for Twil in first place]

[12:35:42] Seryna : [...not Emily?]

[12:36:02] Seryna : [Theres Emily + Unknown on the ground, Twilight (red thing) heading to Donahue]

[12:36:05] AeonThePhoenix : [Player error... thought Twil was Emily]
12:36:33] AeonThePhoenix : [Okay, now have no bloody idea what I was thinking... saving D's ass regardless]

[12:36:34] Seryna : [No prob, rolls good]

[12:37:02] Kazakin : Donahue reset his sights on the woman, snarled through his teeth and took aim again, squeezing the trigger and directing the bullet for the woman's hamstring. He'd just have to trust that Mike could shoot this thing before it ate him.

[12:37:44] AeonThePhoenix : [Okay, Unknown, Emily, Twil Man came from Emily, back with it again]

[12:38:15] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=e5c3fc43 5 successes on the 'Stop Running damnit!' shot.))

[12:38:15] Seryna : As Mike gets a shot off at -apparently nothing- from bristol & Donahue' perspective, his bullet sinks into the center mass of the odd, red form. There's an inhuman shriek- this shriek is a terrible, painful one to hear. For Donahue, it sounds like its right on top of him. The red haze hesitates, forming literally about three feet above Donahue's head.

[12:39:30] AeonThePhoenix : Mike toom aim and fired again.

[12:39:36] AeonThePhoenix : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=bcdd7cdb (2 successes)

[12:39:58] Seryna : Donahue must be feeling fuastration as he lets loose with another bullet- and the woman stumbles. Triumph! Yet- the second woman turns, hauls Emily to her feet- and both resume ther flight. Donahue know that his bullet have put down ENEs before. How are his bullets having no effect on Emily?

[12:40:01] Kazakin : Donahue forced himself not to react, tracking the woman in his scope.

[12:40:36] Tehrat : Pulling out the gun that she very rarely used, Laura aimed at one of the woman and fired. She felt pretty damned useless otherwise.

[12:41:14] Kazakin : "Fucker!" Donahue snarled, retaking his aim on the second woman and going for the heels again.

[12:41:22] Tehrat : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=29d907f9 0 Successes!))

[12:41:40] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=ce4c6d01 4 successes.))

[12:42:29] Kazakin : Automatically, he ditched the empty clip and reloaded, his eye still to the scope.

[12:43:26] Seryna : Mike looses with another bullet- and another inhuman shriek is its answer. Donahue starts as odd, red fluid drenches the ground before him. At a glance, he can tell that its blood that is pooling before him. Mike presumably is doing damage, at least! Yet Bristol and Donahue are suffering as the women continue thier flight. One of the blondes stumbled as Donahue's bullet struck her shoulder. She now resembled a terrible being from a low budget gore film, with three sizeable, meaty holes in her body. Yet she is undeterred. You feel panic rise as the woman near the cover of the covered parking lot.

[12:44:43] Tehrat : With little other recourse, Laura quickly shoots again; and with a little more determination.

[12:46:06] Seryna : [...ouch]

[12:46:15] Kazakin : Donahue couldn't do much more than keep aiming at the damn thing, trying to ignore the splatter of core splashing onto the ground around him. He exhaled slowly, letting caution go. Just a shot, anywhere on her body, maybe she'd go down.

[12:46:30] Seryna : [Yeah, Mike with Bristol may not be a bad idea]

[12:46:46] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=5bb16638 2 successes))

[12:47:00] Kazakin : Well, we can't all be epic snipers. Razz))

[12:47:55] Tehrat : Oh come on, I'm freaking AWESOME with a gun!))

[12:48:14] Tehrat : At...holding a gun, that is. The shooting not so much.))

[12:48:58] Seryna : [This is hilarious Smile ]

[12:49:27] Kazakin : ((I have a horrible feeling that the women I'm shooting at aren't there at all.))

[12:51:18] AeonThePhoenix : Mike pulled the other gun from his jacket, smoothly aiming in Emily's direction, hoping Donahue was safe from the Twil for the moment. With a grunt, he fired both Colts towards Emily.

[12:53:38] Seryna : Donahue loses another bullet, sacrifing it to the gods of 'are you effing kiding me' as yet again, his bullet has little affect on the fleeing women. Yet as Mike drew and fired his guns with thier unusual ammunition, the blonde stumbles and hits the ground, unmoving. The second blonde threw an alarmed look back at Mike- yet she stooped and hefted the woman across her shoulders. As you watch in horror, the unknown woman carries Emily Gillen's body out of sight behind a pillar in the parking gargae. In order to get a line of sight on the woman now, you would have to move closer to the parking garage.

[12:54:59] AeonThePhoenix : "Either of you using Etherics in your guns?" Mike queried over the com.

[12:55:17] Kazakin : "Move up." Donahue ordered quickly. "Don't let them escape!"

[12:56:01] AeonThePhoenix : Mike let the question go unanswered, breaking into pursuit.

[12:56:02] Seryna : [Jake, Mike looking for our injured Red Haze ENE?]

[12:56:23] AeonThePhoenix : [Apparently not...]

[12:56:39] Seryna : [Kay. ]

[12:56:44] AeonThePhoenix : [Hope that doesn't bite us in the ass later...]

[12:58:31] AeonThePhoenix : [and the ghosties]

[12:59:24] Seryna : As the pursuit for the unnkown ENEs is taken up, Mike feels a terrible dread as he reaches the parking garage. Looking down, he can see the bloody smear where he shot Emily. Yet as he raises his gaze, he can not see the two women. Turning, he can not see them hiding behind any pillars. It was as though they had simply vanished...

[12:59:44] Seryna : [and with that, lets take a break Smile ]

[14:20:40] Kazakin : ((I... use my sniping powers... to make Laura hit something!))

[14:20:48] Tehrat : Yes, I fear Laura will accidentally shoot herself.))

[14:21:02] Seryna : Glancing about, Mike notes something odd. He spies an intermittent red, hazy trail through the goggles, leading further into the parking lot. As Bristol decides to scan the video feeds, she notes a 'replay' option. Queing it up, she watches thirty seconds of action as the unknown blonde crawls in the window. She watches as she jerks and falls, standing to examine a bullet wound in her angle. She then turns and moves purposefully towards the morgue. Three minutes later, three white clad men flee in terror, at leat one bleeding from his arm. 1.6 minutes later, the blonde walks out with Emily. Emily is no longer the beuaty she was that after noon- her beuaty now seems chiseled, hard as granite. The two women move out of the cameras view, towards the window Mike had spotted them exiting out of.

[14:22:55] AeonThePhoenix : Mike pauses, getting hold of the others on his com unit. "May have a possible lead on the Twil that came from Emily. Pursue or fall back?"

[14:23:53] Kazakin : "Pursue. Bristol, check ICE. See if they got out via some means beyond the normal."

[14:24:17] AeonThePhoenix : Mike nodded unseen, tracking the red haze.

[14:27:09] Tehrat : "Sure thing, Donahue," Laura responded curtly as she checked ICE.

[14:41:01] AeonThePhoenix : "Tracking a red hazy trail left by the Twil; it's leading further into the parking lot. No sign of hostiles yet."

[14:41:40] Seryna : As Mike follows the trail, he sees that it leads to a portal of sorts. A very ordinary portal - a man hole cover.
[14:45:00] Seratone has been disconnected the Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:45 pm (session timeout)

[14:45:11] AeonThePhoenix : "Twil has escaped into the sewers... we're gonna need air-freshener and oxygen masks; over..."

[14:45:37] Kazakin : "Fuck." Donahue gritted his teeth. "We talking ladder access, Hunter?"

[14:46:15] AeonThePhoenix : Mike shifted the manhole cover, checking for a ladder going down.

[14:48:40] Seryna : As Mike shifted the cover, he did indeed see a ladder heading down. And glancing down, he saw a confirmation that the women had indeed fled this way. Glistening on the first rung of the ladder was a drip of still - wet blood.

"All right. I'm coming down. Don't pursue into the sewers, for God's sake, it's likely a trap, and we're not equipped." Donahue forced himself back to his feet and began the quick process of locking his M24 away into the case he used to conceal it. Because walking down the stairs with a military issue weapon in his hands probably wouldn't be the brightest idea. He limped down the stairs slowly, holding the rail for support as his legs protested at their previous prone position. For God's sake, when would that stop? He had a sinking feeling that despite the repeated reassurances of VALKYRIE's medical corps, the injuries he'd sustained had left a mark that couldn't be physiotherapied away. He paused at the foot of the stairs to catch his breath. Damned if he'd let the other two know how much it hurt, how much trouble he was in.

He left the building, stowed the cased rifle in the car and limped over to the parking lot, glad of the comforting bulge of the sidearm pressing against his ribs. He felt a prickle of relief when he saw that Hunter and Bristol hadn't moved and were still, defiantly, in once piece.

"Right. We need to rendezvous with HQ." He said simply. "This one's not coming in alive, no matter what the brass think. I doubt she'd stop moving even if we dogpiled her and broke her legs, the hogtied her." He leant against the wall, fumbling out a cigarette. Last in the pack. Fuck. "Bristol, do your Suit thing." He added as he lit up.

Bristol leant against the outside of the car, with one hand on her gun in case either of the women popped up again, just to surprise them. Sure, she couldn't hit worth a damn lately but it felt irritatingly reassuring to know that she actually had a weapon to shoot should the need arise again until Donahue turned up.

She glanced around as he spoke, and gave a curt nod. Laura hopped back into the car, and flipped back the lid on her beloved laptop. Armed now with the picture she had of the woman who wasn't Emily, the Suit promptly began searching all known databases to try and locate a match and an ID.

Bristol's search brought her first to a newspaper article dated 2009 where a smiling blonde woman was being recognized as the state's Outstanding Teacher. You almost can't recognize the smiling, well groomed woman with the beast that had come to the morgue today, but the computer recognition software doesn't lie. The woman's name was Sally Duquesne.

Sally Duquesne was a middle school teacher much-loved by her pupils, who saw her
as a friendly, motherly figure to whom they could always turn. When one of her students, Karen Jublonsky, disappeared, the effect on Duquesne was profound. She joined in all the community’s efforts to find the missing girl, and her sense of responsibility towards her students drove her to continue looking even after everyone else had given up hope. Most of what Bristol found were articles in local PTA and Teacher Union publishings, written by Sally, urging parent and the community to guard thier children and come to the police with news about Karen. Over a matter of six month, the articles grew more desperate until they abruptly ceased. Bristol notes that Sally was also no longer listed as a teacher in the schools newsletters from that point on in early 2010.

Checking a local map, Bristol would see that Sally had worked at Southern Hills, a small school in the next town over, the town of Hamtrack.

There was no trace of Sally from that point on. Yet Bristol had a hunch and typed in 'Karen Jublonsky'. The monitor blew up with instances where men admitted to the ER claimed they were interrogated about Jublonsky just before they were attacked. In each of the six documented cases, the men were injured so badly that they died minutes after admission to the hospital.

The first two attacks were in Hamtrack, the third in Dearborn, the fourth in Melvindale and the final two were here, in Detroit. Each of the bodies dumped in Detroit were found in the downtown district frequented by the homeless.

[14:26:06] Seryna : The time is now 4:30 PM, approximately ten minutes after the attack on the morgue.

[14:26:16] Tehrat : "Okay," Laura remarked in a no-nonsense tone of voice. "I got a match on our lady. Used to be a teacher, got obsessed when one of them disappeared and started to spend all her energy and time on searching for the sprog. After that, people started turning up dead," she reeled off. "That's the cliffnotes version."

[14:27:07] Kazakin : "Good. Bristol, get that bloody stuff on the ladder bagged and tagged, and let's get out of here before this becomes any more of a fiasco than it already is." Donahue said heavily.

[14:28:04] Tehrat : Laura pulled a kit out of the car, and walked across to the ladder to swab the blood and bag it.

[14:29:04] Seryna : [Rico, whats John doing?]

[14:29:18] AeonThePhoenix : "Finally, someone with an attitude I don't mind taking orders from." Mike said, refilling the clips in his guns. 5 Etheric rounds left was not a very good thing, but he'd have to make do.

[14:30:32] Kazakin : Donahue snorted in amusement. "Yeah, well, we're the best of the fucking best, Hunter. Or at least the ones who came back in one piece." He limped towards the car. "I'd appreciate if you'd drive." He added, his voice a bit terse.

[14:32:00] AeonThePhoenix : "Will do." Mike responded, getting into the driver's side of the vehicle. "Hazy bastard didn't get you too badly I hope." Mike added.

[14:32:54] Tehrat : Laura headed back over to the team, and dumped the stuff in the back. "So, where to now?"

[14:33:36] Kazakin : Donahue paused. "Didn't get me at all." He said gruffly, limping heavily. "Shattered my pelvis. Got me discharged." He hauled himself into the back seat with a groan of relief. "You said there's a pattern, Bristol. Well, we'll follow the pattern."

[14:36:38] Seryna : [You three, please give me a wits + investigation]

[14:40:33] ricohard : John frowned, the information the spirit had given was far from encourageing. Without a clear way of trying to defeat the spirit, or what ever it was in fact. He stood after a moment's thought and after filling Raven's food he takes a shower taking care to cleanse the remains of the summoning before heading back out. If the spirit's he summoned couldn't help then his only hope was to go to the city itself and hope that it could offer him assistance. He made sure he had his gun holstered and filled a bag with a selection of ritual items, which to anyone not educated in his traditions would appear to be a bag of complete random tat. With that ready he headed out of the door and up the stairs to the street

[14:41:10] Seryna : After thinking over what Bristol had reported, Sergeant Mason had decided that Sally would likely be squatting down town, near where the homeless would be. Emily Gillen's MO, however, had been to target people involved in the death of her husband and son. Now that she was awakened, who would she target?
TFV:
[14:43:47] Kazakin : "Alright." Donahue said after a moment. "Sally's probably squatting in one of the more heavily derelict areas downtown, some place with a lot of homeless. Makes sense since that's where she's dumping her bodies." He scratched his chin. "I reckon this is our last shot at getting her down before we need to report in to HQ."

[14:44:36] Tehrat : "Then the sooner we get our asses down there, the better," Laura nodded.

[14:45:43] AeonThePhoenix : "Gimme the directions and I'll get us there asap." Mike stated.

[14:47:26] Tehrat : "Amateurs," Laura remarked, albeit in a relatively good-natured way. She uploaded the coordinates into the car's GPS.

[14:48:43] Seryna : In about fifteen minutes the group drove into the slum area of downtown. Homeless wandered the streets here. There was little pnahandling, most seemed to be shuffling along to thier own inane tasks.

[14:50:00] Kazakin : "Show-off." Donahue muttered. "Alright. Let's see if we can pick up any traces of Sally. She wasn't as fucking fast as Gillen, so we might have a better shot."

[14:50:39] AeonThePhoenix : "Let's hope so. 5 rounds does not make for good lengthy combat." Mike responded.
[14:52:19] Kazakin : "Aim." Donahue suggested blithely, but he was obviously concerned.
[14:53:18] AeonThePhoenix : "For all the sniping you did, seems they didn't drop until Etherics came into play... shame we haven't got time to go stock up from HQ."


[14:53:48] Seryna : [What are you TFV looking for exactly?]

[14:54:05] Seratone : (ok gonna be afk a while but just posted to th thread)

[14:54:20] Kazakin : ((Any evidence of Sally in the surrounding area? Blood... her corpse... whatever. Razz))

[14:54:50] AeonThePhoenix : (Her so we can spill blood and make her a corpse...)

[14:56:37] ricohard : Putting down his bag he edges up to the door, carefully opening watching the area behind the sprawled woman hoping that he was overreacting.

[14:56:40] Kazakin : ((Yeah, that too!))

[14:58:07] Seryna : After about three minutes of driving, Mike slows the car. Glancing along a wall, yuo see an unusual sight. You see signs of homeless- carts and two tents. Yet the homeless people are absent. Wern't the homeless paranid about protecting thier junk - or thier strip?

[14:59:43] Kazakin : Donahue grunted. "Now there's a thing." He muttered, putting the scope to his eye for a better ranged view of the area without leaving the car, his rifle still safely disassembled.

[15:00:08] Seryna : As he slowly opens the door, he is dismayed to find the woman is unconscios on the floor. From the bleeding from her nose, you guess that she was struck in the face. Thankfully, she is still breathing. As you look up to the lobby, you note with alarm that the lights are flickering. The apartment isn't state of the art, but the lights are always in good repair. Glancing upwards, you hear an odd buzzing of electricity. It takes you pack to when you had found Gillen's killing ground..

[15:02:03] Seryna : There. As Donahue glanced at the refuse, he spots a slumped, blonde woman leaning against the wall behind the tent. From all appearances, she is alone. She appears to be reading a letter. You can't get a look at her face, but she resembles Sally strongly/

[15:03:08] Kazakin : Donahue hissed through his teeth. "I got her." He drew his colt. "Let's get the drop on this bitch." He signalled to move out, trying to be as quiet as possible.

[15:03:47] Kazakin : http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=52c6a77a 2 successes for sneaking up on her))

[15:04:05] AeonThePhoenix : Mike drew both his Colts as well, slipping out of the vehicle.

[15:06:06] Tehrat : On account of something always happening to the one left behind, Laura also drew her weapon and vacated te car.

[15:06:57] Seryna : The two men and Bristol are able to pick thier way through the minefield of refuse the homeless - wherever they are- likely treasure. As you approach, you watch as Sally slips the paper into the pocket of her jacket. You can see that she likely paused to tend to her ankle, which has been freshly bandaged.


[15:08:01] Kazakin : Donahue indicated for a headshot to Mike and took careful aim with his own weapon. So she HAD been hurt when he'd hamstrung her.
So she HAD been hurt when he'd hamstrung her.

[15:09:20] AeonThePhoenix : Mike carefully aimed the Colt with the Etheric clip in, steadying himself for the shot.

[15:09:27] AeonThePhoenix : (Any negs?)

[15:10:51] Seryna : [2 armor]

[15:12:34] AeonThePhoenix : Mike paused, then aimed the other Colt as well. A normal round might not do much, but a hollowpoint through the face still had to hurt like hell.

[15:12:48] ricohard : He checks the woman's pulse before standing "What do you want here?" he demands "There is no vengence to be saught."

[15:14:15] Seryna : As the men line up thier shots, Sally's head jerked upwards. She in on guard now. Its possible to still fire, but you are startled..

[15:14:37] Seryna : [you subtracted two die for the armor?]

[15:15:06] AeonThePhoenix : (I did)

[15:16:28] Seryna : [I wouldnt worry about it. Count the succuesses]

[15:16:41] Seryna : [13]

[15:16:48] Kazakin : Donahue squeezed the trigger the moment Emily looked up, thankful for the silencer as he aimed for the spot between her eyes.

[15:16:53] Seryna : [Sam, you want Bristol to get in on this]

[15:17:00] AeonThePhoenix : [6 with Etheric, 4 with Hollow-Point)

[15:17:10] AeonThePhoenix : ^.^

[15:18:18] Tehrat : Da, and I actually hit something! http://sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller?hash=3e6e4d27 2 Successes.))

[15:18:35] cobrawax : (Wait, If you could aim for the spot in between the eyes, could you aim for an eye?)

[15:18:48] Tehrat : Laura fired too, and near held her breath in anticipation of missing!

[15:18:50] Kazakin : ((Yeah, but that's a bigger penalty than a headshot.))

[15:18:51] Seryna : The shots ring out in near perfect unison. Blood and gore splatter the back wall as Sally's body is slammed backwards. It is clearly a body, for you watch the bits of skull dleck the ground and wall around her. The body slumps to the ground, motionless. The letter that she had been tucking away drops to the ground. Blood picks its way towards it.

[15:19:47] Kazakin : Donahue wasn't taking chances. He moved right in, jammed the barrel of the gun against Sally's heart and emptied the rest of the clip into her.

[15:19:50] Innerlight has been disconnected the Thu Jan 13, 2011 3:19 pm (session timeout)

[15:19:54] Seryna : "You shot me." The voice is terrifying, even to a professional once police man. John stares across the lobby as Emily steps out from behind a lobby desk. He can see the razor in her hand, covered with dried blood. "You and those others *shot* me. You upset Kyle."

[15:20:14] AeonThePhoenix : Mike grinned. "I think she lost her head."

[15:20:42] Tehrat : "That shoulda done it," Laura remarked. She stooped down to pick up the letter, with the hem of her sleeve.

[15:22:04] AeonThePhoenix : Mike stepped forward and searched the rest of Sally's corpse looking for anything else she might have on her.

[15:22:28] Kazakin : "Hurry that up." Donahue said quietly. "We'll need to smoke her and get out of here."

[15:23:00] Seryna : https://2img.net/h/i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/fanaticofyou/letter.jpg

[15:24:46] Seryna : Sally had an odd kukri, a type of fighting knife with a broad blade that bends forwards near the handle. It is covered with dried blood.

[15:24:58] Tehrat : "How sweet," Laura remarked dryly. She handed it to Donahue to read.

[15:25:30] ricohard : "I did what I had to." he says firmly, holding his fear in check "whatever is happening this has gone far enough. There is no more need for blood."

[15:25:53] Kazakin : Donahue skimmed the letter. "We'll be staking this place out." He said grimly. "You good, Hunter? Time to burn this and move."

[15:25:53] AeonThePhoenix : "Nce... okay, smoke the bugger." Mike stepped back, admiring the kukri.

[15:26:50] Kazakin : Donahue poured lighter fluid onto the body and lit it up with his zippo. "Don't take trophies, for fuck's sake." He added. "That's the sort of thing they do."

[15:29:10] Seryna : "Yes," Emily replied coldly, stepping forward. "- there is. Yours. And the limping man. The woman. You will be made to lie down before Kyle's anger." She lifts her razor. Suddenly, her eyes glaze over. the cool anger vanishes. "Shouldn't have messed with my girl." A gutteral voice sounds. WIth that, Emily begins to advance, razor held in an expert grip.


John:



Storyteller: As John reached the top of the stairs, his eyes caugh on the door leading out to the lobby. The door was ajar. He knew that the doors in the stairwells leading to the apartments were supposed to be closed at all times, as they locked to the outside. The lobby had very little security, but there was an intercom system that required someone to buzz in visitors. Surely someone had simply left the door ajar...

John hadn't been a cop for most of his life without developing a sixth sense, especially when he was in a case this deep. He studied the door from where he was standing trying to determine what was holding the door open.

[14:53:14] Seryna : As John watched, he noted that the door was blocked by something in the jam. Lowering his gaze, he was surprised to see the toe of a shoe. A woman's running shoe, if his first guess was right. From the angle, it looked like the woman was sprawled on her back, limp.

[14:56:37] ricohard : Putting down his bag he edges up to the door, carefully opening watching the area behind the sprawled woman hoping that he was overreacting.

[15:00:08] Seryna : As he slowly opens the door, he is dismayed to find the woman is unconscios on the floor. From the bleeding from her nose, you guess that she was struck in the face. Thankfully, she is still breathing. As you look up to the lobby, you note with alarm that the lights are flickering. The apartment isn't state of the art, but the lights are always in good repair. Glancing upwards, you hear an odd buzzing of electricity. It takes you pack to when you had found Gillen's killing ground..

[15:06:11] ricohard : He frowns and moves to crouch besides the woman glaring up "raven, what is it?" he asks his brother.

[15:07:12] Seryna : [Spirit]. Raven murmered. {is here}
[15:29:10] Seryna : "Yes," Emily replied coldly, stepping forward. "- there is. Yours. And the limping man. The woman. You will be made to lie down before Kyle's anger." She lifts her razor. Suddenly, her eyes glaze over. the cool anger vanishes. "Shouldn't have messed with my girl." A gutteral voice sounds. WIth that, Emily begins to advance, razor held in an expert grip.

[15:31:17] Seryna : John: [Spirit is IN her] Raven whispers. {He strengthens her]

[15:31:34] Kazakin : Donahue looked at Mike. "Yeah. Don't let me catch you doing that again, alright?" He said, before nodding at the letter. "I think they're meeting up. These sick fuckers. Like a Kill Club."

[15:33:00] Seryna : One monster is down. Time to call it into HQ- oh, however, HQ would ask about the original target. Emily Gillen, the revengeful, reanimated corprse.

[15:33:01] Tehrat : "Not for long, if we find the rest," Laura remarked.

[15:33:24] Seryna : [I will remind you that its Monday, when we first started the story Smile]

[15:34:30] AeonThePhoenix : "I vote we give her a few personal reasons to cancel that appointment... like being deceased." Mike passed his opinion.

[15:34:38] ricohard : John steps back hand going to his gun, "And then what? blood spilt has never solved a problem." he says

[15:35:39] Kazakin : "We got four days for this meeting." Donahue said as he limped back to the car from the burning corpse. "Alright. I'm gonna drop into HQ and see if I can requisition another couple of clips." He said. "You two- theories on Gillen's next moves. Then we sleep. Hotel room- safer."

[15:36:18] Tehrat : "Sounds good to me," Laura confirmed. "I'm sure we can figure something out, between the three of us."

[15:36:22] Seryna : "Its solving mine." The voice is gutteral and masculine sounding as Emily advances, not frightened of the threat of violence. "Each body exacts vengeance for my son's death My death. " Emily is now ten feet away...

[15:36:44] Seryna : [Jake, does Mike want to point out the phone call from Liam?]

[15:37:51] AeonThePhoenix : [Ditching town for wolf hunt while evil psycho bitch is on the loose... not sure TFV would do that.]]

[15:38:23] Seryna : [not sure either. just making sure you didnt forget the call ]

[15:40:27] AeonThePhoenix : [If Emily gets impatient she could cause a whole lotta death in our absence and we'd lose a chance to stop her. Wolf Hunt is not a viable option at this time...]

[15:41:28] Seryna : [do you guys want to do somethigng else?]

[15:41:38] AeonThePhoenix : [You guys concur or disagree?]


[15:42:45] ricohard : "And how many other mothers must lose their sons, how many father's must bury their children?" he demands not drawing the gun yet "All your vengence is doing is feeding on itself. Go to your Son, Go to the other side. How long will you leave him alone?" he demands.

After the TFV cell was cleaning up after the elimination of Sally, they returned to Mike's vehicle. Upon returning to the truck they heard a news report about shots fired at an apartment. Officers were currently processing the scene. The reporter was quick to point out that there was no evidence that the murderer Emily Gillen had been involved or was still alive.

"Aw Hell." Donahue grimaced. That was just fucking typical. He massaged his knees. "Hunter, belay that last. Our quarry's shown herself- head down there. Bristol, do your thing." He grimaced. "I've put in a requistion with HQ. We should have fresh ammo by the time we reach the scene. Hunter, we're gonna have to rely on you aiming for the Twilight ENE. Bristol, stick with me." He sighed softly. This was rough as all Hell.

Bristol nodded curtly, and began to search the news feeds on any relevant information to help them. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get a chance to nap at some time this year," Laura remarked glibly. Her fingers flew across the keys, as her eyes narrowed and focused at the screen.
