It's easy to tell where the fight is going on. Mostly because the sound of automatic weapon fire and the like is nearly constant, along with the occasional booms of grenades and the like. It's messy down here, this deep in the Redmond Barrens it's amazing a place has -power- let alone that someone's able to have gotten a repeater station to broadcast mode. Most of the buildings were at one time two or three stories. Most of them are crumbling, down to half of their former height or worse, just reduced to rubble. The streets aren't exactly in good condition either, damage from explosions is not repaired as no crew worth their salt would be down here, ever, not without every AAA corp army clearing the way first.
   The streets for now are passable, easier by bike than by car of course... but even with all the blockage it's easy to see it's a siege situation. Several cars have been piled up ahead and if one were to check the other streets it's much the same. There is one street that seems less barricaded, but it probably also has more manpower guarding it...

You paged Hellborn, Bubblegum, Eclipse, and Daiden with 'At each barricade there is at least 4 people that you can see. Two visible, two taking cover where they take turns to rest it seems. At the smaller barricade there is a full dozen people at least. Not counting what might be inside buildings.'.

You paged Sparrow and Keth with 'You can see 2 people at each barricade, and 8 at the smaller barricade'.

Keth trails behind Bubblegum's car as they head deeper into the Barrens, likely sticking out as ever but hopefully folks attentions are elsewhere..at least until they make it to the rough barricades.<< These guys weren't kidding around..I've seen two lookouts at the barricades, and a half-dozen or so at this opening up ahead. >>

Bubblegum pages: Do they look like gangers or not? Wearing colors?
You paged Bubblegum with 'Are you going to try and vision mag while driving in the barrens to make sure?'.
Bubblegum pages: No, that would require me to have vision mag. I just assumed with 6 hits I could tell if a group of people were all wearing the same color.
You paged Bubblegum with 'They're all wearing black. Make of that what you will '.


Eclipse's bike is built or speed, so much so that she's feeling a bit odd as she follows Bubblegum's car. She listens to the chatter on the com and nods, << Yeah, we should take them out real quick.>>

Bubblegum pages: And what are the colors of the Black Skulls?
You paged Bubblegum with 'Black with White skull masks.'.
Bubblegum pages: And these people don't appear to be wearing masks do they?
You paged Bubblegum with 'Hard to say, they're facing the other way'.

Daiden looks stressed out, there is even a bead of sweat rolling down his cheek. He's sitting in the back of the car and responds a little hoarsely. <<Unfriendlies? We can bomb them, mojos>>. Totally green sounding.

Hellborn watches the scenery from the backseat of Bubblegum's car. As the destination gets near, the mask slips into place. <<At least I'm not riding in the trunk this time.>>

Sparrow is trying to hurry and put away the medkit. Her eyes are still looking dark around the edges. Quickly she scans around.. the car windows and other people in her way make it harder to see from the back seat but she does manage to find Keth's bike. <<We're being hidden, so stick close and don't reveal yourself yet. And if you see a dragon, don't worry, he's on our side.>>

Bubblegum pulls her pink sedan up a good distance away from the main entrance. <<Ok, how about one of you mojo slingers astrally projects and checks them out? Might be able to tell who they are by their auras. If you can't, just manifest and ask them, neh?>>

GAME: Daiden rolls 2 dice: 2 3 (0 Hits) <Verified>

<OOC> Cobalt says, "What? People? There's no aura's there! All you can see is this horrid miasma of death, loss, pain, lust... etc. To much emotions, you can make out no individual aura's amongst the horrid background this deep in."

Daiden closes his eyes a moment then jerks back as if just being hit. <<Sons and fraggin' daughters. I can't read them. -- One second>>. Again he closes his eyes, but this time he slumps uselessly into his seat. His astral form, moving at the speed of thought is nearly instantly at the location he desires, just behind one of the guard positions. He looks around his immediate area and astrally shivers before manifesting. As he does so, he waves. "Hi! I lost my dog near here, have you seen it?" Just enough to get their attention before 'popping smoke' so to speak.

Sparrow watches Daiden carefully and shuts her eye, relaxing as well, her hair lightening to a middling grey with virtually no color in it. Her own astral form drifts much slower than Daiden's, her spirit accompanying her in the form of an eastern dragon slithering through the air, small breezes swirling around it.

   The background count had apparently hidden Daiden and Sparrow for a bit, especially with their attention focussed on firing at the building that has the obvious repeator antenna up on the roof and keeping whomever is inside, pinned down and the like. When Daiden manifests however, three of the number immediately turn their attention towards Daiden and spring into action, lowering guns to slash at the manifested form with claws by leaping at him off the barricade! Or that's the intent anyways... The other gangers immediately start to react as well... One guy looks flat out pissing himself but the others seem to be holding themselves together alright. In fact, many are turning their attention to start looking for... you guys. Fortunately... Hellborn, Bubblegum and Eclipse get to react before they do... if they should so choose. There's about 45 meters between the runners and the barricade.

Hellborn quickly calls upon the elemental, and he quickly gives it its orders. "Us inside the car," he tells the smoking man, "And those on bikes..." he points to the two bikes and their riders, "Are friends. Go kill those guys" A point to the barricades, "And anyone who attacks us. Leave projecting types alone! Now GO!"

   The Elemental indicates assent with a fiery halo and then bursts off down the street half-way, manifesting fully it extends a hand and a jet of flame blasts out to blast into one of the gangers in black. He turns and flails as he burns... ouch... and everyone can see that yes, this one at least has a white skull mask. Apparently, they indeed are the Black Skulls...

   The lieutenant and two of his fast acting goonies don't really seem to know what's going on, or at least not able to notice what's coming up behind them. The lieutenant guy, who can be noticed different from the others because he's the only one not using a pistol or assault rifle shouts at the others to look for ambush and then leaps into the air with a powerful strike towards Daiden. One of the other two happen to spot the car approaching and he unloads with a full automatic burst at the car from his AK-97!

<<Sons and fragging daughters>> Daiden pats himself as if checking to make sure he's not dead. "We moved!" Of course you did, you're in a car.

Eclipse sees her best shot is to stop the bike with a screeching halt. She draws that nasty looking rifle and takes aim at two of the ghouls carefully before pulling the trigger

   The two that Eclipse shot get tore up but bad, and they seem about to turn and follow the demanifesting form of Daiden but then fix on Sparrow before they get bullets puncturing through nasty parts right through their armored jackets and blood flows. Three more gangers react, one spotting the car and unloading with a pair of short bursts at the car. The other ganger doesn't notice anything, but the third of this group spots Eclipse and starts to shoot with a pair of bursts at her!

Sparrow's eyes snap open and she emits a sound... probably 'squeak' is the closest approximation. "Wha.. you moved us?! Don't you know..." she pauses just a moment '..oh, there are ghouls there, the leader too." Once she's got her bearings and is sure she *is* in her body her eyes dart around a moment looking at her AR. Her hair is even lighter grey than before, but now it's got some green in it. "I've got just the thing for them.."

Keth thinks Elicpse had the right idea, coming to a stop about where the elf pulled up before pulling his Optimum up to bear, a couple of bursts finding their mark on the injured gangers. <<Two more down.>>

   The gangers are all turning their focus away from the besieged building now, most don't notice the car yet since it's only moving, but Keth and Eclipse are drawing some ineffectual fire. Overall while they're nasty for gangers... they are still just gangers it seems.

Eclipse doesn't like to get shot at, especially when she has to dodge bullets. She aims at the bastards that shoot at her and pulls the trigger in a mirade of bullets mowing them down, too bad one has to suffer a bit not being quite dead.

   As his people start falling right and left to concentrated gunfire, the guy who leap kicked at Daiden's manifested form ducks down on the other side of the barricade. He perches out of sight for the moment...

Bubblegum make a pass at the barricade, attracting some of the gangers' fire which pings harmlessly off her armored vehicle. She swerves away, doubling back, putting a bit more distance before she tries her next move.

Daiden looks over towards the largest remaining group of gangers and narrows his eyes to a slit. He raises his hands as if aiming a bazooka, then squeezes the imaginary trigger. It's all for show folks, but it seems to get the job done. Two of the gangers suddenly look pretty messed up. The third one right next to them stumbles but appears to be less jacked up. <<Damn. No Dead>>.

Eclipse takes aim at the closest group of gangers and holds down the trigger to her rifle. She grins wickedly beneath her helmet and lets lose a torrid of bullets to mutilate what's left of the beat gangers.

Sparrow grins wider as she manipulates her AR display. She mutters something to herself as she does so while waving her hands around. "..shouldn't be too tough.. ooh, that's IC... uh oh... oh yeah? Take this... hah, missed me!" Her hair darkens to a deep grey shot through with yellow as she keeps on. "Gotcha... there we go.. yeah, go get those guys... what the.. unnnngh!" The last comes out suddenly as an electrical jolt courses through her for a split second. Outside, a Lone Star patrol drone slips over the roof of a building and begins bearing down on the gangers behind the barricade, guns blazing.

Through all the chatter, the awesome driving, and Daiden's narrowed view on his surroundings, he spots one particular ganger that doesn't look as much like the others, clenches his fists until the veins in his face pulsate, then relaxes as the target suddenly feels the pain.

   As the Drone comes sweeping in, guns blazing and chewing up pavement the gangers are already near broken. They shout and the like, trying to turn their attention between death from one way, or death from the other way. The fire elemental shoots another jet of fire at one of the gangers but the ganger manages to get the hell out of the way!

Bubblegum keeps up her holding patter, tires squealing around the open space in front of the barricade. Now that most of the gangers are dead and she no longer needs to focus on driving defensively, Bubblegum takes the opportunity to throw some firepower downrange. She opens the window and pops out her pretty pink thunderbolt, drawing a bead at long range. "Bang!" she says as she squeezes the trigger, her burst tearing into an unhurt ganger and taking him out of the fight.

"Firetoad!" The fire elemental winks into exsistance at Daiden's behest. "Elemental fire, do so kindly find the leader of the ones that shot at the car and kill him." Daiden then nods to it.

   The Firetoad croaks and then poofs off in a flash, looking for the one that it thinks is the leader! Which must be the one that is magically active, since magics are the type who lead elementals! Or something... hopefully it doesn't go looking for a giant bullfrog... Either way it's on the prowl!

Keth fires one more round, taking out the last of the visible gangers, << Last one down, I think..>> he says, setting his rifle back to his side as he angles his bike up towards the car.

Bubblegum pulls up next to the barricade <<We'd better gather up the salvage, that's our payday. I'll see if I can get in touch with that repeater, see how they're doin'.>>

   From behind the barricade the fire elemental named toad snatches up the leader and envelopes him, swallowing him whole and burning him to... nothingness pretty much. Crispy critter. The drone overhead keeps tearing up concrete till Sparrow lets it go. There is a quick burst over AR <<That did it! They're pulling back! Thanks be to the...Aw FRAG!>> Then the signal cuts out. The signal was weak as hell, no doubt the repeator taking more damage in the seige but they might get it working again. All is quiet as the skulls cut their losses with the blockade broke.

Daiden unfastens his seatbelt and opens the passanger side door. <<I'll grab the guns off of 'em>> The stretch he gives makes it seem like he hadn't been on his feet in several hours.
Sparrow nods her head. She looks a bit worse for wear after her electrical jolt. "I'll go with you.." she says, rather than thinks the words. Abruptly she turns toward the repeater building. "..what was that?"

Keth raises the visor as the drone disappears into the ether again, <<Oh..nice trick, whoever.>> He says over the comms as he pulls up beside the car, <<Everyone alright?>>

Hellborn pops his seatbelt, waiting for his opportunity to get to the door. Once he manages to exit the car, he mentally calls back his elemental, who returns smoking his cigar. He starts looking about, <<I think we should find our mysterious summoner.>>

   In the tower is a collection of rag tag hacker geeks and their one troll friend who has been good enough to barricade them in. They've been run pretty ragged and haggard but now that they're not under seige... as long as they control the tower, when they get it working again they promise to give you all free signal bounce which will pump your range on commlinks all over the barrens... if they can keep the tower and keep it working again. Won't work for stealing shit unless it's close to the repeator but can send messages to friends and the like in emergency, handy at times.
