As his lean form arcs through the air(+1D), the daggers flash from his fingertips(+1D), leaving momentary, silvery trails behind them as the blades glint in the light(+1D) before they each slam into a cop's throat(+1D). While the victims fall to the pavement(+1D), thrashing and gurgling in their death throes(+1D), Spiral lands with a roll, gracefully coming to his feet right in the midst of three other cops(+1D). The deep black lenses of his sunglasses mirror the terrified expressions of the men standing in front of him(+1D) as he quickly draws his katana with a clear ringing sound, the sound of inevitable death(+1D). In one smooth, blurred, savagely powerful motion, Spiral swings his blade across the necks of the two cops in front of him(+1D), sending their heads toppling from their bodies in what almost seems like slow motion(+1D). Before their bodies even hit the ground, Spiral reverses his swing(+1D), spins around and drops to his knees(+1D), a bullet zipping through the air where his own head had been a fraction of a second ago(+1D). The policeman who fired that bullet gasps in shock as Spiral's blade slashes across his gut(+1D), sending him to the ground in agony(+1D). In the blink of an eye, Spiral rolls to his right and comes back to his feet(+1D), katana in hand, readying himself for the true menace of the rushing Agent.(+1D)Total Dice: 23 gets cut down to 20.

It's yours, Spiral. Around all of you, the Construct has frozen the scene, bodies of the cops flying through the air at on angles, the Agent flying through the air on a decidedly more deadly vector. When you answer the phone, a familiar high voice is waiting. It's Bug, the Operator on your hovercraft, the Ramses II."Hey, on the monitor it looks like you were doing well. Yawanna try it wi' two Agents, this time, or are you ready for out? Uh--one sec . . ." Bug's voice trails off. He's probably speaking with CODENAmE, the captain. In a moment, he's back on. "The Boss says you should come on out. He's got something you all should see, apparently." You can see nothing of the young operator, but I'd bet a lump sum that he's grinning impishly. "Trust me. You're gonna like it."</blockquote>
