Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Chicago Ripper

I've got a bad feeling about this. In alow whisper, he tells Diego. "I'll take the door, you shoot whoever it is."

Moving quickly, Larry scuttles towards the door, barreling forward in an attempt to bash through.*



If the door opens outwards, Larry won't try to bash through. He'll instead try to pull the door open, clearing the lane for Diego to go through.

"You crazy!" Diego whispers. It is not a question.

Diego will attempt to peek through the door if it opens, shoot any bad guy he may see, then duck back out of the doorway. (ooc: Try to use door frame as partial cover.)

Meredith jumps back in the SUV and says, "I think I got one of the trackers in there. It was just before you shot it...they might not have noticed."

Then she's grabbing a cellphone and calling in. "This is field agent Meredith, I need to talk to the duty officer," she explains to the Hoffman rep. "We need a cleanup on..." she looks outside to see the streets. "4rth and Westlock Ave. We're in pursuit of a captured agent. Yeah. Tell him it's Zee. Thanks. Oh...and there could be a tracker in there. Yeah, see if it goes up on the big map and intercept it if you can. We're northbound. Yeah. One sec."

She looks up from the phone. "I'm gonna stay on the line and update dispatch about where we're going. Hoffman might be able to send us some help if we can stay with them!"

OOC: I probably won't be able to make any posts from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday evening. I finally got employment as a video game tester at BabelMedia in Montreal, and I'll be staying with my grandfather while I undergo job training on Thursday and Friday, and I won't have access to the internet.

First off, congratulations! That sounds like a very entertaining (obviously) and enjoyable job opportunity - goodness knows, it beats my internal help desk monkey job. :\

Second, don't worry about it. While we all enjoy the game a lot, it is still just that, a game, and the real world not only does take precedent, but it should.

We're all still gonna be here, with much anticipation, so get things in hand and we'll see you soon enough.

Once again, though, congrats!

 

[iwatt]

Yeah, congrats as well. Sounds like a nice job.

Now we wait for saturday when Meredith opens a can of whopass on the fools who kidnapped Z.

 

[Shayuri]

Whoa. Me? Er...I'll try, of course. I ain't a slayer yet though.

Also, congrats Falkus!

 

[industrygothica]

I disagree. It is absolutely imperative that you quit your new job immediately so that you may devote all of your time and attention to us and this game. Afterall, who needs video games when you can sit behind a desk and roll dice all day?

In all seriousness, congrats, and good luck. We'll be here when you get back, I'm sure.

Congrats, Falkus!

OOC: I'm back! I'm now a Functionality QA Tester (Grade One) at BabelMedia in Montreal

IC:

Larry smashed through the door, already weakened by both prior neglect and the passage of about thirty 7.62 × 39 mm bullets through it. The room inside seemed empty of people at first glance, but mechanical sounds behind a couch that had been dragged out into the center of the room and was facing the front door indicated the presence of a man reloading a gun.

Diego fired a shot at this man, but the cover he had from the couch resulted in him missing completely.

As Meredith, Nick and Cade piled back into the SUV, the other van continued speeding down the road. Cade took off in hot pursuit, but was unable to make much headway, resulting in the van having a lead of about a hundred feet.

Meredith got on line with Stanfield and Ryker back at the office. Stanfield sounded upset, but was keeping his emotions in check. "Do whatever it takes to get her back. I'll get the police to send help. You're acting as FBI agents, after all."

"This is Ryker, I'm talking with some of the techies in the labs," Ryker added. "We've got some odd chatter on the radio. We think it might be the kidnappers," he named a frequency. "Switch your van's radio over to that."

Switching the radio's frequency was quick, and turned up results, two men talking to each other.

"... have the final sacrafice, but agents of light are in pursuit, Master, and have placed a tracking device within our vehicle." said a male voice. Judging by the background sounds, he was in a rapidly moving vehicle.

An older man replied. "Follow the plan we set out. Do not deviate from it, but once you have lost or disposed of the bringers of light, use their device to mislead them when you take the sacrifice to my disciple. Do not fail in this."

[sblock]Nick recognizes the voice of the older man. It's a voice he hasn't heard in years, and hadn't expected to hear.

It's the voice of Cliff Kenzington[/sblock]
