Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

[Falkus]

"I don't care who you work for," the Surgeon said. "But I need some new soldiers, since you killed my last group. And you'll do as their replacements. If you don't fight back, this will be painless, and you will thank me for opening your eyes after it's done."

His left hand morphed into another pistol, this one more closely resembling a regular pistol (aside from the fact that it was projecting out of the end of man's arm), though it's angles were smoother and it's barrel much narrower.

Larry, with, perhaps a sixth sense guiding him, managed to throw himself out the door and use the wall as cover as the second pistol came around and fired at him, with a quiet tic, tic, tic. Three narrow needles embedded themselves in the door as he watched.

At the same time, the Surgeon pointed his right hand at Cade, and fired the laser beam at him, searing a nasty burn onto his chest as he hurled himself behind a couch to use as cover. He returned fire over the top of the couch, scoring a direct hit on the Surgeon's chest with .50 AE round from his Desert Eagle.

Meredith got the bandage around Diego's wound, but didn't accomplish much else.

Nobody replied from the Freemason's SUV. It didn't seem like anybody else was inside. Both doors were still open, however.

oO Sonuva monkey Oo thinks Cade as the pain burns across his chest and into his body. oO Gotta work through it, Cade Oo

"Larry, if you're still up we need to cut it up in a cross fire," says Cade into his comm-unit. "On three...one...two..."

"...Three!" Cade pops up, hoping that Larry does the same from the other side, and fires a quick shot at the Surgeon before dropping back down.

OOC

I'm gonna spend my action point in order to perform two attack actions before diving back under my cover. I figure I'll either drop the guy and live or drop the guy and, well, not live. Woot!

What the hell, I wan't to go home Cade! On Cade' signal, Larry come out of cover and drops to his knees, trying to use the doorframe as cover as well. His gun sounds extremely loud, amplified by his position. His mind running on overdrive, Larry seems more aware of everything in his surroundings than ever before. Greatfully, he doesn't see his life run by. Shooting straight at the morpher, Larry hopes for the best.


OOC: a single shot at the thing. If we can spend actions points to get another action (I'm playing with so many different versions of AP that I'm currently confused about what I can do with them ), I'll want to use my wild talent to make the computer keyboard fall down. Maybe that will distract the sucker.

Meredith sighs at her clumsy work and shakes her head. "I guess I'd better take some courses if I'm not going to get a gun..."

She pauses. Looks at the MiB van. Gun, eh?

Carefully she edges towards the van, glancing behind her to make sure no one's aiming a pistol or worse at her back, then resuming her motion. What goodies did the Freemasons use?

"Hello?" she says as she gets closer. "If there's anyone in there, you should get Duffman to a hospital right away...I got the bleeding under control but... Hello?"

Assuming there's no reply, she peeks into the MiB van to have a look around.

 

[Falkus]

OOC: I hadn't considered allowing the expenditure of an action point to gain an attack action before, but it seems balanced enough, so I'm going to allow it.

Hearing the gunshots inside, Nick decides to try to help out. But before going in, he searches through the equipment in both vans for anything useful, as he's still not totally confident in his abilities with a gun, despite his previously lucky shot.

Nick is knowledgeable in both Chemistry and Demolitions, and if he can find anything in either van that'll come together to make a big bang, or some noxious fumes of some sort, he'll do that before going into the building, assuming there is time.

Larry, using the door as cover, took aim and fired, hitting the surgeon in the chest, furthering staining the surgical smock. As he did so, the computer keyboard clattered off the desk behind the Surgeon, but it didn't draw his attention away from the firefight.

Meredith and Nick quickly dug through the two van's for gear. The Freemason's vehicle had a loaded Beretta M3P shotgun in the back seat. It also had a wide variety of computing and surveillance gear, including laser microphones, parabolic mikes, voice analyzers and a satellite uplink. There was also a portable hard drive marked: Recorded Prophecies. Nick, using a spare gas can from the van, a road flare from the Freemason's vehicle and a roll of duct tape managed to make a crude incendiary bomb. No way to tell how effective it would be until it was detonated, however.

The Surgeon vaulted over the reception desk, and used it as cover as he returned fire on Larry with his laser pistol. The red beam carved across his chest, opening up a nasty wound.

At the same time as Larry was getting some amateur laser surgery performed, Cade came up from behind the couch, his Desert Eagle blazing, hitting the Surgeon in the center of his forehead, and blowing most of the contents of his skull over the wall behind him. He collapsed over the desk and a second later, he dissolved into dust and sand. His weapons go with him.

Nick takes the portable hard drive back to their own van and stashes it with his gear as he makes the crude bomb. As he hears the gunfire cease, he fears the worst, but cautiously approaches the door to the motel lobby and nervously peeks in. Seeing Cade and Larry still alive, he exhales in relief. "More dust bunnies?" he asks with a smile.

 

[iwatt]

"Booya!! Nice shot Cade!!" The adrenalin of the fight plus a blinding headache he was suddenly suffering had dulled the sharp burning sensation across his chest, but as Nick called out his lame joke, the pain of his wound came crashing down on Larry. "I'm not feeling too good here Doc. And I think that dustpile did something to me 'cause my head hurts like hell as well." Fortunately the wound had self cauterized and Larry could move around, albeit with some diffculty. He proceeds to tell Nick what had happened, as he moves toward Franks and checks the Freemason. Larry pockets the silenced gun and checks the dead agent's wallet. "Anybody up to helping me clear the rest of the building. Hopefully there's no more sand dudes."

 

[Friadoc]

"About damn time!" shouts Cade as the pain throbs across his chest. While Larry is filling Nick in on the situation, Cade will also go over the room, especially checking on the sand pile that was the Surgeon.

When Larry suggests making sure the place is clear, Cade nods and says, "Sure, better hit them first before the hit his, or else we're toast."

"Nice bomb, doc," Cade says with a grin towards Nick.
