"This just isn't your day." Skinny stands over the guard with a gun aimed down at his head. In his other hand a ziptie swings from an extended finger. If the guard resists being bound Skinny opens fire - hopefully his better training doesn't get him killed.

"Somebody tell me taking out these teams is necessary," says Skinny. The solipsistic feeling of invincibility common to mercenary types has always been with him, but not as much in the last few months, not with his symptoms accelerating. The old half of him craves the adrenaline-high that...

Skinny gives a sharp whistle to get Saint's attention, nodding toward the security office doorway once he has it - his way of requesting backup. He presses the muzzle of one of his pistols against Kevin's cheek and drives him into the office by his face. Once inside he levels his pistol on the...

(Oh, OK. Then yes, firing with both pistols. Sorry for all the OOC chatter in the in-game thread!)

(Wait, so dual wielding weapons gives no bonus at all to Skinny's potential damage output? Filling a guy up with bullets from two guns does no more damage than from one? I should read the new book more thoroughly but it's kind of a beast. And no, Skinny didn't bring nonlethal gear with him. I...

OOC note: With the taser likely failing to subdue Kevin (I think? Just basing that on Shayuri's roll) Skinny will respond with lethal force to anything other than complete capitulation on Kevin's part. He lets Saint handle the others. Skinny's base pool with his pistols is 14 - not sure how...

Good thing Skinny's still perfectly equipped to take him down both quickly and quietly. ;) Only reason to keep his lights on is that he might be useful in the security room but HB should be able to pretty trivially handle whatever the system can throw at us.

Fine by me. But I thought tech like that was still super rare at this point in the timeline? I mean Skinny needs goggles to even navigate AR. I've been pretty unsure what the technology level is at since the start, to be honest, haha. I'm used to going full can-guide-in-a-missile-with-a-thought...

Even if we'd managed to get peaceably past Kevin I would have given us ten minutes before it all hit the fan anyway. Might as well start it on our terms.

Skinny glances aside left and right at the others. They make an odd-looking team: The cancer patient, Sergeant Cliche, Elrond with ink, and Miss Hipster Deluxe. Hell, half of them are openly armed. Taking a step forward, Skinny shows Kevin his employee cards. "Hands on your f--king head!" Both...

Skinny gives both his pistols a once-over before drawing them. He looks barely capable of jogging, much less defending himself in a firefight, but if he's nervous it doesn't show. "Ready when you are," he says with glance at Casper. His voice is calm - still weak, but the tone fortifying in its...

Considering HB can hack his way through doors and cameras there's really nothing he needs Skinny or Casper for - he's practically an infiltration expert himself. I can't speak for Casper but Skinny is a combat specialist who happens to be stealthy - but again a group is only as stealthy as its...

A group is only as stealthy as its least stealthy member, but Skinny'll go along with whatever.

Skinny is on the market side of the door in one instant and peering over the railing of the stairs to the landing below in the next. "Pick a direction. We need to keep moving." He starts unbuttoning his slicker for easier access to his weapons - though he keeps them holstered for now.

Skinny moves through the door in a yellow blur, attempting to get to the other side before anyone notices. Burning edge to do so.

Skinny responds to the question directed at Casper: Yeah yeah yeah. Smash the camera so we can come through.

None of my devices have been having any issues.

Whether it's now or later: Rubber bullets are gonna wind up in the news. But if it happens now it could provide cover for us to get through the emergency doors is my meaning - I doubt we'd be the only ones going through them. And if the drone-whisperer could mask it all as a malfunction they'd...

Skinny hears a soft beep and reaches into his slicker for a pair of goggles with a sigh. He bends his neck to slip them onto his head and pulls them down over his eyes. Hacking the drones to fire rubber bullets into the crowd was your plan is his reply over AR.

"We waiting on a distraction?" asks Skinny, speaking loudly over Casper's shoulder to be heard by her through the murmur of the crowd. "We get non-lethals firing out here and an alarm from an emergency door won't be out of place."
