China
X12
Initiatives: X12 18, Dara 14, Gang Members 7
X12's straight kick is a surprise to the thug, especially at such close quarters. He sails backwards, landing heavily on the ground. The crack of his skull on the pavement is a welcome sound. He doesn't get up.
Attack roll: 15 (23) hit!
Save: 7 (KO)
Dara strides up to the stunned thugs, kicking one in the side of the face hard. He joins two of his comrades on the ground as the final thug grabs for his axe to attack Dara. He swings wildly, swinging over her head, the axe head imbedding itself deep into the wall beside him.
Attack roll: Dara 16 (hit), Thug 15 (miss)
Save: Thug 10 (KO)
You don't see any more thugs terrorizing citizens nearby, though you spot several fleeing the area back towards the center of town. Most people that appear injured have superficial injuries at best; bruises, cuts, scrapes and whatnot.
Kevin
Initiative: Gang Leader 18, Carl 14, Raisa 13, Kevin 11 (1HP, 4S), Nova 10 (1S, KO), Gang Members 7
When you turn your attention to Nova, the gang members leap at you. Nova shouts a warning just in time, and you swing your bat at one advancing thug, but he blocks it with his own weapon.
Attack roll: 11 (13) miss
Nova turns her energy towards two of the other thugs, creating a blazing fire wall between you and them, leaving you with only two goons to deal with for the moment. And good thing too, as the two thugs trapped on your side of the wall leap forward away from the flames in an all out attempt to put you down! One kicks hard into your chest, sending you sprawling back and a second delivers an elbow smash to your nose! You stagger backwards, your visions swimming.
Attack rolls: 16, 18 (both hits)
Saves: 14 (12) [1S, stunned], 18 (16) [1S]
The gang leader pulls something out of his pocket and tosses it at Nova's feet. It lands with a metallic ring, then explodes in a puff of white smoke. Nova's flaming aura immediately goes out and she collapses, covered in frost.
Attack roll: 24 (hit)
Save: Reflex (fail), Damage (fail, KO)
"You didn't actually think we didn't know you were here?" he says walking over and kicking her solidly in the cheek.
Carl suddenly walks through the wall of a building directly behind Nova's wall of flames. You hear a hum and through the firey wall can see both thugs staggering about, clutching their ears in pain.
Raisa
You close on the square and can just make out the leather clad biker and Nova's blazing form. The biker tosses something, and Nova suddenly extinguishes and collapses. The man strides over and kicks her in the head.
Raisa, X12
You both, along with Dara and Xi, hear Carl say through your link, "Someone just iced Nova down! And Kevin's in a bad situation in the town market!"
Raisa is up.
New York - Hospital
The landing is suitably hard, and kind of off kilter for a moment as Cosmo misses the area he was going for and lands on someone's hovercar. But the weight of the jet crushes the car down quickly enough.
"Woo hoo! We didn't explode!" Cosmo exclaims from the pilot's seat. You cant tell if he's joking or not.
"Never.... flying.... with him... again..." Tara says, staggering towards the ramp, looking very pale. Anna is sitting in her chair white knuckled as well, with wide eyes and looking perfectly straight ahead. She's still holding her breath.
A pair of nurses and Dr. Johnson come immediately up the ramp. "Damnit, Sanchez! You killed my car!" he says as he comes into the plane. Looking around the plane and seeing no senior members, he gets a confused look on his face, though he retains enough presence of mind to get the orderlies to help you all off the plane and into emergency.
New York - Methesda
Falcon looks surprised for a moment, looking at Loki over his spectacles. "Yes, well," he says, regaining his composure. "Mr. Methesda likes his privacy. That leads to his private quarters, if you'd be kind enough to keep that information to yourself."
Your sense motives seem to indicate he's telling the truth, and Thunder doesn't question the response either.
The information he had his secretary get is soon brought in, as is the other information you requested. In regards to Split, it's quite detailed, including shipping dates, addresses, contacts, phone numbers and a list of items purchased. The information involving South American Pharmaceuticals is less detailed, but does match up the trucks to the company, and gives you a contact number. It matches up with the contact person that Johan has information on.
"Now, if you'd all just sign these non-disclosure agreements and waiver forms on behalf of yourselves and your team, and if there is nothing else," he says, obviously wanting you gone.
