CY_BORG: VIP Abduction

[Stormbringer]

I swipe at the drone with my assault rifle to try and shoo it.

Is Ol' Trusty Joe's within easy corpse-dragging distance?

Also... any bones in the dumpster?

No bones lying loose in this particular dumpster. They're all inside the bodies and would require some work to extract, with tools you don't have.

It's possible 'Trusty Ol' Joe' might be able to help you out with a bone. The back door of Hypermall #1994 is very close by. You remember TOJ's Ripper Clinic is just to the left of the back door (inside the mall), past a public toilet cubicle.

Doze will attempt to disable the drone with her blade. More salvage!

[Stormbringer]

Doze, leaving the bike where it is, runs over to the dumpsters to attack the drone.

Doze: test Strength with a d20!

19!

"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up highhhh!!!"

I call out to my companions, "BACK IN A SEC!"

Then I start dragging the corpse towards the Hypermall. If anyone tries to stop me, I'll blurt out that my friend stacked it and needs some meds or drugs or something, STAT.

[Mantis]

Zola will go and assist Sen with the body, mostly out of curiosity for what's going on.

Volley follows the robot and the giant talking cat as they drag the man made of rags to see the wizard.

[Wrathbone]

"Know a guy, boss - Trusty Joe. Could get hella creds for this bozo! And some bones, maybe. Gotta have them bones, right boss?"

[Stormbringer]

Doze: Roll a d8 for monosword damage! Using a Glitch will destroy the drone in one hit. Otherwise, live with the random result.

6... ideally trying to not destroy it (just disable), but we'll see!

"Aight, but keep ya optics peeled, chooms. Cats like that ain't worth trustin'. Snatch the creds and ghost before we end up as another chrome trophy on his shelf."

Zola momentarily notes his companions obssession with bones with a slight air of concern before disregarding any thoughts on the matter and deciding that it's best to just not acknowledge.

Disable/destroy. Same thing. You can sell it for scrap metal (for creds) or attempt to repair it and use it yourself.

Swinging her monosword at the drone, Doze scores a direct hit, the blade slicing through the shell of the flying machine.

"You'll pay for that, punk!" screams the voice of the remote hacker pilot.

The damaged drone whirls about and, with an SMG concealed within the shell, sprays a burst of autofire at Doze!

+ + +

Doze: roll Agility (d20) to avoid being hit by the spray of bullets!

Meanwhile, the other three punks (and the dead biker) enter the Hypermall through the back door. Shoppers mill about the various stores, buying food, entertainment and other commodities.



On their left they see the flashing neon sign for Ol' Trusty Joe's Ripper Clinic, just past the WC. Sen and Zola carry the body between them, while Volley follows on behind, his mirror-shades concealing his eyes full of wonder. As they pass the WC, a woman emerges from the doorway of Punk Music and Gear, grabbing the hapless Volley by the arm.

"Looking for a good time, sweetheart?" she asks, a smile on her face. "Only 250¤!"

[Sly Boots]

10 on the agility check

[Stormbringer]

Would you like to use a Glitch to avoid being hit? Or take the damage?
