[8:50:39 PM] GM_Kagi *****Recap of Last Session*****
[8:50:39 PM] GM_Kagi The runners have holed-up at the "Low Nuyen Inn" and stowed there gear in their rooms.The general concensous is that a scouting trip of the sewer route to the Tenement needs to be done before the team assaults the Gestault.
[8:50:49 PM] GM_Kagi Whether to cause a power outage at the Tenement tonight is still up for debate. Who is and who is not comming on the scouting trip is uncertain, though since none of the runners seem to be built for stealth, firepower has been suggested as the best course.
[8:51:04 PM] GM_Kagi Local time is 4:30am and the runners have been up all night without rest. Sunrise in Seattle is around 6:00am and a thick Fog has blanketed Seattle's nightscape.
[8:51:14 PM] GM_Kagi *****End Recap*****
[8:51:14 PM] GM_Kagi www.teara-adan.com/kagi/sewer.htm
[8:55:48 PM] Manzazzuu "I'm having trouble making heads or tails of this map, Ten. Where are the entrances, and where is the place we're hitting. It would also be useful if you could highlight where the areas controlling power to the place might be."
[8:57:10 PM] Butterfly "N who all's coming with?"
[8:58:12 PM] Doc "I will be remaining behind I need to make a few ajustments to my room for further events."
[8:58:38 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::starts brewing some coffee for himself:: "The text at the bottom might be useful to you Manzazzuu. As to the power, the buildings power lines are sub-street level. The whole place was built as low income housing way back in 2007 so the lines come from all over and only finally converge near the entry point into the basement."
[8:59:42 PM] GM_Kagi *D.C. "I think you should go Doc. I can set up a makeshift triage here. I'm not really too keen on crawling around a sewer for hours and I'm tired to boot."
[9:00:06 PM] Manzazzuu "So we'll have to almost be ready to pop out into their basement before we are at the point where we can knock out their power?"
[9:01:34 PM] Butterfly "Not a bad idea, DC." she winks at Doc.
[9:01:44 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks a bit annoyed:: "Yes, as I said." ::Again wipes at his imaculate suit::
[9:01:45 PM] * Doc grins
[9:02:47 PM] Manzazzuu "Remind me to throw ten into a puddle at the earliest convenience." He murmurs to Butterfly.
[9:03:27 PM] Butterfly Butterfly grins widley, "OK" she says earnestly.
[9:03:43 PM] Doc "Well if I am goin let me grab a few things beforehand."
[9:05:04 PM] Cherub "well i may come along since everyone is going , anyway whichever i look to thois corrupted society or garbages it's all the same..."
[9:05:33 PM] * Butterfly activates her VR pet to play with untill everyone is ready. It's a small fluffy pink kitten that answers to the name of Brisance
[9:05:41 PM] Manzazzuu "You know, if you keep insulting our society with every word that comes out of your mouth, you're not lible to live long, pal. Just some friendly advice."
[9:06:42 PM] Cherub "I'm only telling the truth that you can't see since you've been corrupyted aswell my friend..."
[9:06:47 PM] * Cherub smile
[9:07:12 PM] Butterfly "O"Oh Manny, he can't help but mirror societies veiw of his lonely self."
[9:07:37 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Pours himself a cup without a word and begins sipping at the hot soycaf::
[9:08:05 PM] Butterfly she seems earnest and speaks with pity
[9:08:13 PM] Manzazzuu "That's fine, but when the next ganger you spout out off to feeds you your manhood, don't expect me to save you." He replies to Cherub. He turns to Butterfly. "I'm just trying to keep the guy from getting himself killed."
[9:08:40 PM] Butterfly "Why?" she asks with childlike innocence
[9:08:51 PM] Doc "Hey Ten are you goin be gettin supplies soon?"
[9:09:21 PM] Butterfly "He can't get mine until I get back and have time to figure out what I need."
[9:09:46 PM] Manzazzuu "'Cause I don't want his blood on my clothes." He says with a smirk.
[9:10:08 PM] Cherub "I'm able to keep myself away from arm. I doesn't need help from a corrupted one such as you."
[9:10:12 PM] * Butterfly shruggs and goes back to playing with Brisance
[9:10:38 PM] Doc "Well if ya do can you throw in a katana for me as well?"
[9:11:01 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks up from his soycaf questioningly:: "Supplies? I was going to pick up a few tolietries yes, but something tell me your after something else?"
[9:11:18 PM] Cherub "Your gadgets make you even more blind than a mole"
[9:11:50 PM] * Manzazzuu rolls his eyes, and quickly checks the ammo on his pistol - just in case.
[9:12:10 PM] Doc "Nothing major may need some medical supplies also but DC or I will fill you in for more on that later."
[9:12:27 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Sips his soycaf for a moment before answering:: "Your asking for an advance?"
[9:13:08 PM] Doc "Call it what ya will but I would appreciate it."
[9:14:57 PM] Manzazzuu "Rick and I are ready when the rest of you are."
[9:15:14 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::sneers a bit as he takes another sip:: "Hmm. Well I'll certainly pass it by Mrs. Johnson. I can have an answer for you in time to go shopping tommorow night I think, but I make no promises."
[9:15:37 PM] Doc "Thank-you much"
[9:16:49 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::mearly grunts and takes another sip::
[9:16:50 PM] Doc "So how long till we go?"
[9:17:29 PM] Manzazzuu "How long 'till you're ready?"
[9:17:51 PM] Doc " I am good to go."
[9:18:03 PM] Manzazzuu "Anyone else need some time?"
[9:18:34 PM] * Butterfly stands up and walks out the door, Brisance running palyfully along side.
[9:18:55 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::The insertion point indicated on your maps is the closest point I could get to enter into a main sewer line without you having to break into another building. It will take us roughly ten minutes to get to it, sunrise is in one hour and fifteen minutes."
[9:18:56 PM] Cherub "I am ready , as much as someone disgusted by everything around him can be..."
[9:20:13 PM] GM_Kagi *Ten gives everyone detailed directions to the sewer entrance and then departs himself.
[9:21:09 PM] Manzazzuu "Who's driving? No sense in bringing thirty vehicles."
[9:22:14 PM] Butterfly "I have a van. Are we ready for logic yet?" she says cheerfully
[9:22:52 PM] Manzazzuu "Shotgun." He says with a smirk, opening the door for everyone.
[9:23:10 PM] * Butterfly 's VR obviously includes upbeat music as she's practically dancing to the van
[9:25:02 PM] * Doc heads towards the van
[9:25:29 PM] Butterfly It smells strongly of gun powder
[9:26:12 PM] * Cherub enter slowly within the van, deeply disgusted by the thing that he is steping in.
[9:26:13 PM] GM_Kagi * The Runners arrive at the meeting place in 12 minutes flat. Traffic is non-existant at this time in the morning in Redmond. The entrance to the sewer is a manhole cover in a side ally. It is highly unlikely that anyone will spot the Runners desending to the sewers but the homeless. As the crow-flies the distance is about 3/4 of a mile to the Tenement, but the sewers twist and turn and add much more distance to the trip
[9:27:29 PM] Manzazzuu "Rick, get the manhole, please." Asks Manny of his companion when they're finally standing around the manhole.
[9:28:57 PM] Manzazzuu The big guy bends down and tries to lift the manhole cover, but can't get a good grip.
[9:29:44 PM] Manzazzuu "Hold on a minute, Rick." He looks around at the others. "Anyone got a crowbar?" Rick, meanwhile, stops what he's doing.
[9:29:45 PM] * Butterfly resists the urge to offer to just blow the thing.
[9:30:38 PM] * Butterfly gets a tire iron from the van.
[9:30:47 PM] Butterfly "Close enough right?"
[9:31:47 PM] Manzazzuu "That'll do." He hands it to Rick, and points out where he should use it to pry up the edge of the manhole. Rick bends to follow his instructions, now easily getting the manhole cover off. He casts it aside like it were a frisbee.
[9:32:24 PM] Butterfly "But, ya. Bombs are too niosy."
[9:34:08 PM] Butterfly "The secret source of humour itself in not joy, but sorrow, eh Rick?" she grins
[9:34:28 PM] Manzazzuu Rick grunts.
[9:34:34 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks in astonishment at the near superhuman feat of strength Rick just displayed::
[9:34:37 PM] Manzazzuu Or maybe it was a groan.
[9:34:38 PM] GM_Kagi *The manhole cover flies through the air and crashes into a nearby wall, plastecrete crumbles and leaves a nice size chunk missing from the building
[9:34:39 PM] Cherub "So discreet..."
[9:34:56 PM] * Cherub watch the group silently while wondering how the destiny could have been that cruel to bring him in here.
[9:35:32 PM] Manzazzuu "Alright Rick, head down first, make sure it's safe." The big man starts heading down the hole.
[9:38:28 PM] * Manzazzuu follows down the manhole after Rick.
[9:38:44 PM] * Butterfly jumps in after them.
[9:38:55 PM] * Doc follows the group
[9:39:40 PM] GM_Kagi *A ladder leads down into the sewers. The light level is very low here. This seems to be a central catch basin of some kind (refere to the pic on the left of the Map)
[9:40:31 PM] * Manzazzuu pulls out a flashlight, keeping it in his left hand. He turns it on. With his right, he pulls a cane out from under his longcoat.
[9:40:47 PM] * Butterfly pulls out her Slivergun and takes a look around
[9:43:48 PM] * Cherub slowly plug into the manhole his face showing an obvious expression of the deepest disgust
[9:44:02 PM] Manzazzuu "Alright, who wants to take the lead?"
[9:44:15 PM] * Butterfly puts on a pair of oil slick colored glasses.
[9:44:27 PM] Butterfly "You shine, I shoot?"
[9:45:06 PM] * Manzazzuu smiles at butterfly, and leans on his cane.
[9:51:12 PM] GM_Kagi * The smell in this place is even worse then you had expected, each of you is forced to fight back the urge to hurl everything you've eaten for the last couple of days onto the nearest drainage pipe as you reach the bottom of the ladder
[9:51:44 PM] GM_Kagi * As Pele comes to rest at the bottom of the ladder he suddenly doubles over and loudly retches of to the side of the ladder
[9:52:59 PM] * Butterfly reaches into her jumpsuit, tears off a strip of her shirt, tears it in 2, and shoves each peice up a nostril.
[9:54:23 PM] Manzazzuu "Very attractive." He offers the woman with a smirk, when she's done.
[9:54:33 PM] GM_Kagi *10 now in an Urban explorer jumpsuit, pressed and starched none the less
[9:55:00 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::puts on a small resperator and joins the others in the sewer::
[9:57:21 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::his voice is a little distorted from the resperator:: "It's quiet a ways to the Tenement. I doubt we'll get back before Sunrise, we'd better get moving."
[9:57:21 PM] Doc "Butterfly can you carry my backpack and few items for me i need to change real quick?"
[9:57:55 PM] Butterfly "Uh...oo...k..."
[9:58:27 PM] * Manzazzuu sighs, leaning on his cane, waiting on the others.
[9:58:42 PM] Doc "thank you and you may need to get the rest after."
[9:59:39 PM] * Butterfly looks like she's waiting for the punchline
[10:00:49 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "The map indicates all the lines large enough to allow us to pass, though some areas will be a tight squeeze. More lines intersect the ones on the map all over it, but are too small to use."
[10:03:00 PM] * Doc takes off his coat and shirt stripping down to he britches and hand them to Butterfly. Then starts to murmur and starts to shrink and grow fur till a large sewer rats walk out of one of the leg holes.
[10:03:42 PM] Manzazzuu ".... Joy."
[10:03:57 PM] * Butterfly was watching with a huge grin on her face at first, but looks largely dissapointed now.
[10:04:41 PM] Manzazzuu "Butterfly, maybe you should let Rick carry that stuff."
[10:05:06 PM] * Butterfly hands over all the eccess chunk happily.
[10:06:20 PM] * Manzazzuu helps Rick stuff the clothes into the backpack, and then put it on.
[10:07:09 PM] * Butterfly suddenly remember's Brisance is still around and turns it off.
[10:08:16 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks in absolute disgust at the new form of Doc:: "My god that's foul....Are we ready to move now?"
[10:08:53 PM] Manzazzuu "You mean you're not enjoying the ambiance, Ten?" He says with a smirk.
[10:08:54 PM] * Butterfly heads toward the eastern tunnel
[10:09:09 PM] * Manzazzuu and Rick follow closely behind Butterfly.
[10:09:10 PM] * Butterfly looks back at Manny expectantly
[10:09:43 PM] * Doc heads over by Butterfly and waits to head down further.
[10:10:14 PM] Cherub "Let's move on . We are wasting our time here..."
[10:10:22 PM] * Cherub looks impatient
[10:12:32 PM] Butterfly ::Butterfly leans over to Cherub and whispers:: "The walls we build around us to keep sadness out,also keeps out the joy."
[10:13:17 PM] GM_Kagi *As the Runners make their way slowly through the twists and turns of the sewer they come to a choke point on the map where several tunnels are cut down and only one way to pass exists. Strange grafitte colors the walls from top to bottom in this tunnel
[10:15:25 PM] * Cherub stares at butterfly
[10:16:04 PM] Butterfly "To perceive is to suffer" she replies and looks a little closer at the graffitti
[10:16:52 PM] Cherub "I may do without your pointless philosophy. Faster this run is finished faster my suffering will end so please proceed i have no need for your point of view..."
[10:17:42 PM] Butterfly "Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed." she slimes cheerfully
[10:17:48 PM] Butterfly smiles
[10:19:35 PM] * Cherub if you say so, that's what corrupted people believe i guess. I do not hate your world , i pity it , you're all about appearances , nothing is true."
[10:20:20 PM] Butterfly "In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day."
[10:21:23 PM] Manzazzuu "We're in ghoul territory, folks. Somewhere between 30 and 40 members in their gang. It's their home turf."
[10:21:52 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::makes a disgusted sound::
[10:22:36 PM] Butterfly "How many bullets per ghoul?"
[10:22:45 PM] Butterfly "To kille em...you said a lot"
[10:25:52 PM] * Cherub whisper:To begin with lower your voice. Secondly we are trying to sneak in , if we begin to make a war in sewers our goal to make people from the laboratory to believe that the power failure is an accident will not be fullfiled"
[10:28:01 PM] Cherub wisper "we have to avoid being noticed unless what our plan will end in a failure"
[10:28:04 PM] Butterfly Butterfly looks over at Cherub with a huge smile, like an excited child, and looks at him over her glasses with a bright twinkle in her eyes, "Death row is a state of mind."
[10:29:05 PM] Cherub "If you wish for death i'd prefer that you go solo, i wish for way better destiny than dying in some stinking sewer from a stinking city..."
[10:29:15 PM] Manzazzuu "I was exaggerating. They're not really much tougher than humans. They have some nasty claws, though, and have extremely keen senses of smell and hearing. They've got bad eyesight, but it's not really that much of a hinderance to them. Down here, they're at a big advantage."
[10:30:11 PM] Butterfly so they already know we're hear and die easily basically?:
[10:31:07 PM] Butterfly "We want to shoot em down before they get too close and flashbangs won't be very effective"
[10:31:08 PM] Manzazzuu "It might be a good idea to try and make a deal with them. They're hard to deal with, but I might be able to work something out."
[10:31:24 PM] Butterfly "Sounds fair. What do they like?"
[10:31:44 PM] Manzazzuu "They'll have armor and weapons. And they like eating people."
[10:32:10 PM] Butterfly Ginning, "Like most of my old boyfriends"
[10:33:31 PM] Manzazzuu "Sudden bright light can temporarily hurt their eyes, and they're allergic to sunlight."
[10:33:54 PM] * Butterfly feels around in her pockets
[10:34:04 PM] Manzazzuu "And they like their meat well rotted."
[10:34:37 PM] Butterfly I have a couple flash bangs and a couple flash packs if it comes down to it. Didn't bring them all though."
[10:35:06 PM] Pele "Are they ethereal?"
[10:35:57 PM] Manzazzuu "No, but they're dual natured. They see into the etherial at all times."
[10:37:26 PM] Pele "If they get close enough, will my kicks hurt them?"
[10:37:48 PM] Manzazzuu "If they don't gut you with their claws first, sure."
[10:38:22 PM] Butterfly "I'll do my best not to let them get that close. Do wizzards have any kind of like magic lazers or antyhign that could help?"
[10:38:33 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Last I heard many of the NAN territories have bounties out on all Ghouls, and Lone Star isn't obligated to protect them here in Seattle. Ghouls pretty much hate humans, everyone of them are hunted."
[10:38:46 PM] Cherub "And have those cute creature some kind of thing that they fear but the sunlight ?"
[10:39:44 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Sad really, every ghoul used to be human until they got infected with HMHVV."
[10:39:48 PM] Manzazzuu "If we offer them the bodies from the run, they might help us."
[10:40:43 PM] Pele "Will a flashlight temporarily blind them?"
[10:41:01 PM] Manzazzuu "Probably not, Pele."
[10:41:02 PM] Butterfly "Score. Offer them bodies"
[10:41:22 PM] Pele "Bodies would cut down on the mess."
[10:42:08 PM] Butterfly "There's like tons of glitched chipheads up there."
[10:43:36 PM] Pele "Are we going to promise them a amount? We only NEED to kill one person."
[10:44:19 PM] Manzazzuu "The chances of having a body count of one on this run is almost nill, Pele."
[10:44:39 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks at Butterfly and raises an eyebrow:: "You saying we should offer to give over the BTL junkies still alive, but near death, in the Tenement Butterfly?"
[10:45:20 PM] Butterfly "No. they like em rotted. What's the point of dealing with em alive?"
[10:45:35 PM] Butterfly "They might fight back or something"
[10:46:29 PM] Butterfly "Oh...maybe that's already happening though..."
[10:46:48 PM] * Butterfly you can almost see the wheels turning
[10:47:51 PM] Butterfly "Oh. Maybe this isn't such a good idea till we're ready to blow the joint."
[10:47:59 PM] * Butterfly looks a little shocked
[10:48:52 PM] Pele "I think that making a deal would be the best course of action. We can't take 40 ghouls. I wouldn't be much help in such a fight."
[10:48:54 PM] Manzazzuu "Guys, we should get moving, back the way we came."
[10:49:29 PM] Butterfly "N. If they're already being fed by the complex they'll rat on us."
[10:50:09 PM] Pele "I agree, Manzazzuu. We should get going."
[10:50:19 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "I highly doubt the Gestault is feeding them. They need the bodies remember?"
[10:50:41 PM] Butterfly "For what? Maybe that's where they're going"
[10:51:05 PM] * Manzazzuu starts making his way back to the entrance. Rick follows.
[10:51:18 PM] Manzazzuu "C'mon people. If they're not already here you can bet they're on the way."
[10:51:22 PM] Butterfly "I'll take the rear"
[10:51:23 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Shakes his head negative:: "No they are not. I can assure you."
[10:51:41 PM] * Butterfly stops and stares at 10 intently
[10:51:52 PM] Butterfly "Spil"
[10:52:20 PM] * Cherub turn back and follow manzazuu in the most total silence
[10:52:23 PM] Manzazzuu "Keep moving!" He tells Butterfly over his shoulder.
[10:52:31 PM] * Butterfly doesn't point her gun at him but it's a noticable accessory in her hand
[10:52:37 PM] Butterfly "No. He knows what's going on"
[10:53:42 PM] Manzazzuu "So interrogate him on the way."
[10:54:04 PM] * Pele walks up until he is even with Manzazzu
[10:54:06 PM] Butterfly If 10 walks, she'll continue to gaurd the rear
[10:54:44 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::chuckles behind the resperator at Butterfly:: "I know enough to know that Mages don't go raving insane and strange spirits appearing from normal magic alone. This is Blood Magic."
[10:55:19 PM] * Butterfly seems horrible unimpressed with his answer.
[10:55:27 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Motions to Pele:: "Why do you think your employer chose him?"
[10:56:03 PM] Butterfly "Cause he's cute, and she obviously had good taste"
[10:56:15 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Check your targets dossiers again, they are all Latin in origin."
[10:56:42 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Your dealing with Aztlan's."
[10:57:28 PM] * Pele trembles a bit, but gains his composure
[10:57:48 PM] Manzazzuu "The Aztlans aren't the only ones who know about blood magic."
[10:58:07 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Your right Manzazzuu, but they are the best at it."
[10:58:15 PM] Butterfly "And how do we knoe the ghouls don't have anything to do with their biz?"
[10:59:55 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Frowns at Butterfly::
[11:00:36 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Just a guess. You saying you want to go back?"
[11:01:16 PM] * Pele goes through his dossier, and frowns a bit
[11:02:45 PM] Cherub "isn't their anothr entrance by which we can pass to go to the building's power system without passing withoin those ghoul's territory ?"
[11:03:08 PM] Cherub "another entrance to those sewers that is..."
[11:03:11 PM] * Butterfly holds her comm up so Cherub can see the map.
[11:03:30 PM] Manzazzuu "There's no way to tell how much of the sewers they've claimed as theirs."
[11:04:30 PM] Cherub "better tempting it than going throught 40 ghouls don't you think ?"
[11:06:00 PM] Cherub "their is another entrance to those sewers , if we go back fast enought we have some chance to stay alive long enought to explore it."
[11:06:12 PM] * Butterfly holds up her comm as a light source, hoping it wil lbe enough to see if anything is in the tunnel with them...and her gun...much with the gun.
[11:06:55 PM] * Pele turns to Manzazzu "Should we go back and get them? We are in a hurry... or should be."
[11:07:07 PM] Manzazzuu "You guys keep going back to the entrance. Rick and I will go back for them."
[11:07:32 PM] * Manzazzuu turns around and heads back for Butterfly and 10.
[11:08:08 PM] GM_Kagi *The light is only sufficent to illuminate your face and upper body. You can't even see your feet Butterfly
[11:08:13 PM] * Pele heads towards the entrance, at a laid back pace to allow for the others to catch up when the time comes.
[11:09:31 PM] * Cherub follow manzazuu
[11:09:51 PM] * Butterfly starts to sweat and is ready to strike out against anything that comes near her
[11:09:56 PM] Manzazzuu "Guys, you have to get moving, the ghouls will be here any minute."
[11:09:59 PM] Pele "Umm... Cherub. Shouldn't we go to the entrance?"
[11:10:50 PM] Manzazzuu Manny states as he approaches Ten and Butterfly.
[8:50:39 PM] GM_Kagi The runners have holed-up at the "Low Nuyen Inn" and stowed there gear in their rooms.The general concensous is that a scouting trip of the sewer route to the Tenement needs to be done before the team assaults the Gestault.
[8:50:49 PM] GM_Kagi Whether to cause a power outage at the Tenement tonight is still up for debate. Who is and who is not comming on the scouting trip is uncertain, though since none of the runners seem to be built for stealth, firepower has been suggested as the best course.
[8:51:04 PM] GM_Kagi Local time is 4:30am and the runners have been up all night without rest. Sunrise in Seattle is around 6:00am and a thick Fog has blanketed Seattle's nightscape.

[8:51:14 PM] GM_Kagi www.teara-adan.com/kagi/sewer.htm
[8:55:48 PM] Manzazzuu "I'm having trouble making heads or tails of this map, Ten. Where are the entrances, and where is the place we're hitting. It would also be useful if you could highlight where the areas controlling power to the place might be."
[8:57:10 PM] Butterfly "N who all's coming with?"
[8:58:12 PM] Doc "I will be remaining behind I need to make a few ajustments to my room for further events."
[8:58:38 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::starts brewing some coffee for himself:: "The text at the bottom might be useful to you Manzazzuu. As to the power, the buildings power lines are sub-street level. The whole place was built as low income housing way back in 2007 so the lines come from all over and only finally converge near the entry point into the basement."

[9:00:06 PM] Manzazzuu "So we'll have to almost be ready to pop out into their basement before we are at the point where we can knock out their power?"
[9:01:34 PM] Butterfly "Not a bad idea, DC." she winks at Doc.
[9:01:44 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks a bit annoyed:: "Yes, as I said." ::Again wipes at his imaculate suit::
[9:01:45 PM] * Doc grins
[9:02:47 PM] Manzazzuu "Remind me to throw ten into a puddle at the earliest convenience." He murmurs to Butterfly.
[9:03:27 PM] Butterfly Butterfly grins widley, "OK" she says earnestly.
[9:03:43 PM] Doc "Well if I am goin let me grab a few things beforehand."
[9:05:04 PM] Cherub "well i may come along since everyone is going , anyway whichever i look to thois corrupted society or garbages it's all the same..."
[9:05:33 PM] * Butterfly activates her VR pet to play with untill everyone is ready. It's a small fluffy pink kitten that answers to the name of Brisance
[9:05:41 PM] Manzazzuu "You know, if you keep insulting our society with every word that comes out of your mouth, you're not lible to live long, pal. Just some friendly advice."
[9:06:42 PM] Cherub "I'm only telling the truth that you can't see since you've been corrupyted aswell my friend..."
[9:06:47 PM] * Cherub smile
[9:07:12 PM] Butterfly "O"Oh Manny, he can't help but mirror societies veiw of his lonely self."
[9:07:37 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Pours himself a cup without a word and begins sipping at the hot soycaf::
[9:08:05 PM] Butterfly she seems earnest and speaks with pity
[9:08:13 PM] Manzazzuu "That's fine, but when the next ganger you spout out off to feeds you your manhood, don't expect me to save you." He replies to Cherub. He turns to Butterfly. "I'm just trying to keep the guy from getting himself killed."
[9:08:40 PM] Butterfly "Why?" she asks with childlike innocence
[9:08:51 PM] Doc "Hey Ten are you goin be gettin supplies soon?"
[9:09:21 PM] Butterfly "He can't get mine until I get back and have time to figure out what I need."
[9:09:46 PM] Manzazzuu "'Cause I don't want his blood on my clothes." He says with a smirk.
[9:10:08 PM] Cherub "I'm able to keep myself away from arm. I doesn't need help from a corrupted one such as you."
[9:10:12 PM] * Butterfly shruggs and goes back to playing with Brisance
[9:10:38 PM] Doc "Well if ya do can you throw in a katana for me as well?"
[9:11:01 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks up from his soycaf questioningly:: "Supplies? I was going to pick up a few tolietries yes, but something tell me your after something else?"
[9:11:18 PM] Cherub "Your gadgets make you even more blind than a mole"
[9:11:50 PM] * Manzazzuu rolls his eyes, and quickly checks the ammo on his pistol - just in case.
[9:12:10 PM] Doc "Nothing major may need some medical supplies also but DC or I will fill you in for more on that later."
[9:12:27 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Sips his soycaf for a moment before answering:: "Your asking for an advance?"
[9:13:08 PM] Doc "Call it what ya will but I would appreciate it."
[9:14:57 PM] Manzazzuu "Rick and I are ready when the rest of you are."
[9:15:14 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::sneers a bit as he takes another sip:: "Hmm. Well I'll certainly pass it by Mrs. Johnson. I can have an answer for you in time to go shopping tommorow night I think, but I make no promises."
[9:15:37 PM] Doc "Thank-you much"
[9:16:49 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::mearly grunts and takes another sip::
[9:16:50 PM] Doc "So how long till we go?"
[9:17:29 PM] Manzazzuu "How long 'till you're ready?"
[9:17:51 PM] Doc " I am good to go."
[9:18:03 PM] Manzazzuu "Anyone else need some time?"
[9:18:34 PM] * Butterfly stands up and walks out the door, Brisance running palyfully along side.
[9:18:55 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::The insertion point indicated on your maps is the closest point I could get to enter into a main sewer line without you having to break into another building. It will take us roughly ten minutes to get to it, sunrise is in one hour and fifteen minutes."
[9:18:56 PM] Cherub "I am ready , as much as someone disgusted by everything around him can be..."
[9:20:13 PM] GM_Kagi *Ten gives everyone detailed directions to the sewer entrance and then departs himself.
[9:21:09 PM] Manzazzuu "Who's driving? No sense in bringing thirty vehicles."
[9:22:14 PM] Butterfly "I have a van. Are we ready for logic yet?" she says cheerfully
[9:22:52 PM] Manzazzuu "Shotgun." He says with a smirk, opening the door for everyone.
[9:23:10 PM] * Butterfly 's VR obviously includes upbeat music as she's practically dancing to the van
[9:25:02 PM] * Doc heads towards the van
[9:25:29 PM] Butterfly It smells strongly of gun powder
[9:26:12 PM] * Cherub enter slowly within the van, deeply disgusted by the thing that he is steping in.
[9:26:13 PM] GM_Kagi * The Runners arrive at the meeting place in 12 minutes flat. Traffic is non-existant at this time in the morning in Redmond. The entrance to the sewer is a manhole cover in a side ally. It is highly unlikely that anyone will spot the Runners desending to the sewers but the homeless. As the crow-flies the distance is about 3/4 of a mile to the Tenement, but the sewers twist and turn and add much more distance to the trip
[9:27:29 PM] Manzazzuu "Rick, get the manhole, please." Asks Manny of his companion when they're finally standing around the manhole.
[9:28:57 PM] Manzazzuu The big guy bends down and tries to lift the manhole cover, but can't get a good grip.
[9:29:44 PM] Manzazzuu "Hold on a minute, Rick." He looks around at the others. "Anyone got a crowbar?" Rick, meanwhile, stops what he's doing.
[9:29:45 PM] * Butterfly resists the urge to offer to just blow the thing.
[9:30:38 PM] * Butterfly gets a tire iron from the van.
[9:30:47 PM] Butterfly "Close enough right?"
[9:31:47 PM] Manzazzuu "That'll do." He hands it to Rick, and points out where he should use it to pry up the edge of the manhole. Rick bends to follow his instructions, now easily getting the manhole cover off. He casts it aside like it were a frisbee.
[9:32:24 PM] Butterfly "But, ya. Bombs are too niosy."
[9:34:08 PM] Butterfly "The secret source of humour itself in not joy, but sorrow, eh Rick?" she grins
[9:34:28 PM] Manzazzuu Rick grunts.
[9:34:34 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks in astonishment at the near superhuman feat of strength Rick just displayed::
[9:34:37 PM] Manzazzuu Or maybe it was a groan.
[9:34:38 PM] GM_Kagi *The manhole cover flies through the air and crashes into a nearby wall, plastecrete crumbles and leaves a nice size chunk missing from the building
[9:34:39 PM] Cherub "So discreet..."
[9:34:56 PM] * Cherub watch the group silently while wondering how the destiny could have been that cruel to bring him in here.
[9:35:32 PM] Manzazzuu "Alright Rick, head down first, make sure it's safe." The big man starts heading down the hole.
[9:38:28 PM] * Manzazzuu follows down the manhole after Rick.
[9:38:44 PM] * Butterfly jumps in after them.
[9:38:55 PM] * Doc follows the group
[9:39:40 PM] GM_Kagi *A ladder leads down into the sewers. The light level is very low here. This seems to be a central catch basin of some kind (refere to the pic on the left of the Map)
[9:40:31 PM] * Manzazzuu pulls out a flashlight, keeping it in his left hand. He turns it on. With his right, he pulls a cane out from under his longcoat.
[9:40:47 PM] * Butterfly pulls out her Slivergun and takes a look around
[9:43:48 PM] * Cherub slowly plug into the manhole his face showing an obvious expression of the deepest disgust
[9:44:02 PM] Manzazzuu "Alright, who wants to take the lead?"
[9:44:15 PM] * Butterfly puts on a pair of oil slick colored glasses.
[9:44:27 PM] Butterfly "You shine, I shoot?"
[9:45:06 PM] * Manzazzuu smiles at butterfly, and leans on his cane.
[9:51:12 PM] GM_Kagi * The smell in this place is even worse then you had expected, each of you is forced to fight back the urge to hurl everything you've eaten for the last couple of days onto the nearest drainage pipe as you reach the bottom of the ladder
[9:51:44 PM] GM_Kagi * As Pele comes to rest at the bottom of the ladder he suddenly doubles over and loudly retches of to the side of the ladder
[9:52:59 PM] * Butterfly reaches into her jumpsuit, tears off a strip of her shirt, tears it in 2, and shoves each peice up a nostril.
[9:54:23 PM] Manzazzuu "Very attractive." He offers the woman with a smirk, when she's done.
[9:54:33 PM] GM_Kagi *10 now in an Urban explorer jumpsuit, pressed and starched none the less
[9:55:00 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::puts on a small resperator and joins the others in the sewer::
[9:57:21 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::his voice is a little distorted from the resperator:: "It's quiet a ways to the Tenement. I doubt we'll get back before Sunrise, we'd better get moving."
[9:57:21 PM] Doc "Butterfly can you carry my backpack and few items for me i need to change real quick?"
[9:57:55 PM] Butterfly "Uh...oo...k..."
[9:58:27 PM] * Manzazzuu sighs, leaning on his cane, waiting on the others.
[9:58:42 PM] Doc "thank you and you may need to get the rest after."
[9:59:39 PM] * Butterfly looks like she's waiting for the punchline
[10:00:49 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "The map indicates all the lines large enough to allow us to pass, though some areas will be a tight squeeze. More lines intersect the ones on the map all over it, but are too small to use."
[10:03:00 PM] * Doc takes off his coat and shirt stripping down to he britches and hand them to Butterfly. Then starts to murmur and starts to shrink and grow fur till a large sewer rats walk out of one of the leg holes.
[10:03:42 PM] Manzazzuu ".... Joy."
[10:03:57 PM] * Butterfly was watching with a huge grin on her face at first, but looks largely dissapointed now.
[10:04:41 PM] Manzazzuu "Butterfly, maybe you should let Rick carry that stuff."
[10:05:06 PM] * Butterfly hands over all the eccess chunk happily.
[10:06:20 PM] * Manzazzuu helps Rick stuff the clothes into the backpack, and then put it on.
[10:07:09 PM] * Butterfly suddenly remember's Brisance is still around and turns it off.
[10:08:16 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks in absolute disgust at the new form of Doc:: "My god that's foul....Are we ready to move now?"
[10:08:53 PM] Manzazzuu "You mean you're not enjoying the ambiance, Ten?" He says with a smirk.
[10:08:54 PM] * Butterfly heads toward the eastern tunnel
[10:09:09 PM] * Manzazzuu and Rick follow closely behind Butterfly.
[10:09:10 PM] * Butterfly looks back at Manny expectantly
[10:09:43 PM] * Doc heads over by Butterfly and waits to head down further.
[10:10:14 PM] Cherub "Let's move on . We are wasting our time here..."
[10:10:22 PM] * Cherub looks impatient
[10:12:32 PM] Butterfly ::Butterfly leans over to Cherub and whispers:: "The walls we build around us to keep sadness out,also keeps out the joy."
[10:13:17 PM] GM_Kagi *As the Runners make their way slowly through the twists and turns of the sewer they come to a choke point on the map where several tunnels are cut down and only one way to pass exists. Strange grafitte colors the walls from top to bottom in this tunnel
[10:15:25 PM] * Cherub stares at butterfly
[10:16:04 PM] Butterfly "To perceive is to suffer" she replies and looks a little closer at the graffitti
[10:16:52 PM] Cherub "I may do without your pointless philosophy. Faster this run is finished faster my suffering will end so please proceed i have no need for your point of view..."
[10:17:42 PM] Butterfly "Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed." she slimes cheerfully
[10:17:48 PM] Butterfly smiles
[10:19:35 PM] * Cherub if you say so, that's what corrupted people believe i guess. I do not hate your world , i pity it , you're all about appearances , nothing is true."
[10:20:20 PM] Butterfly "In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day."
[10:21:23 PM] Manzazzuu "We're in ghoul territory, folks. Somewhere between 30 and 40 members in their gang. It's their home turf."
[10:21:52 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::makes a disgusted sound::
[10:22:36 PM] Butterfly "How many bullets per ghoul?"
[10:22:45 PM] Butterfly "To kille em...you said a lot"
[10:25:52 PM] * Cherub whisper:To begin with lower your voice. Secondly we are trying to sneak in , if we begin to make a war in sewers our goal to make people from the laboratory to believe that the power failure is an accident will not be fullfiled"
[10:28:01 PM] Cherub wisper "we have to avoid being noticed unless what our plan will end in a failure"
[10:28:04 PM] Butterfly Butterfly looks over at Cherub with a huge smile, like an excited child, and looks at him over her glasses with a bright twinkle in her eyes, "Death row is a state of mind."
[10:29:05 PM] Cherub "If you wish for death i'd prefer that you go solo, i wish for way better destiny than dying in some stinking sewer from a stinking city..."
[10:29:15 PM] Manzazzuu "I was exaggerating. They're not really much tougher than humans. They have some nasty claws, though, and have extremely keen senses of smell and hearing. They've got bad eyesight, but it's not really that much of a hinderance to them. Down here, they're at a big advantage."
[10:30:11 PM] Butterfly so they already know we're hear and die easily basically?:
[10:31:07 PM] Butterfly "We want to shoot em down before they get too close and flashbangs won't be very effective"
[10:31:08 PM] Manzazzuu "It might be a good idea to try and make a deal with them. They're hard to deal with, but I might be able to work something out."
[10:31:24 PM] Butterfly "Sounds fair. What do they like?"
[10:31:44 PM] Manzazzuu "They'll have armor and weapons. And they like eating people."
[10:32:10 PM] Butterfly Ginning, "Like most of my old boyfriends"
[10:33:31 PM] Manzazzuu "Sudden bright light can temporarily hurt their eyes, and they're allergic to sunlight."
[10:33:54 PM] * Butterfly feels around in her pockets
[10:34:04 PM] Manzazzuu "And they like their meat well rotted."
[10:34:37 PM] Butterfly I have a couple flash bangs and a couple flash packs if it comes down to it. Didn't bring them all though."
[10:35:06 PM] Pele "Are they ethereal?"
[10:35:57 PM] Manzazzuu "No, but they're dual natured. They see into the etherial at all times."
[10:37:26 PM] Pele "If they get close enough, will my kicks hurt them?"
[10:37:48 PM] Manzazzuu "If they don't gut you with their claws first, sure."
[10:38:22 PM] Butterfly "I'll do my best not to let them get that close. Do wizzards have any kind of like magic lazers or antyhign that could help?"
[10:38:33 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Last I heard many of the NAN territories have bounties out on all Ghouls, and Lone Star isn't obligated to protect them here in Seattle. Ghouls pretty much hate humans, everyone of them are hunted."
[10:38:46 PM] Cherub "And have those cute creature some kind of thing that they fear but the sunlight ?"
[10:39:44 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Sad really, every ghoul used to be human until they got infected with HMHVV."
[10:39:48 PM] Manzazzuu "If we offer them the bodies from the run, they might help us."
[10:40:43 PM] Pele "Will a flashlight temporarily blind them?"
[10:41:01 PM] Manzazzuu "Probably not, Pele."
[10:41:02 PM] Butterfly "Score. Offer them bodies"
[10:41:22 PM] Pele "Bodies would cut down on the mess."
[10:42:08 PM] Butterfly "There's like tons of glitched chipheads up there."
[10:43:36 PM] Pele "Are we going to promise them a amount? We only NEED to kill one person."
[10:44:19 PM] Manzazzuu "The chances of having a body count of one on this run is almost nill, Pele."
[10:44:39 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Looks at Butterfly and raises an eyebrow:: "You saying we should offer to give over the BTL junkies still alive, but near death, in the Tenement Butterfly?"
[10:45:20 PM] Butterfly "No. they like em rotted. What's the point of dealing with em alive?"
[10:45:35 PM] Butterfly "They might fight back or something"
[10:46:29 PM] Butterfly "Oh...maybe that's already happening though..."
[10:46:48 PM] * Butterfly you can almost see the wheels turning
[10:47:51 PM] Butterfly "Oh. Maybe this isn't such a good idea till we're ready to blow the joint."
[10:47:59 PM] * Butterfly looks a little shocked
[10:48:52 PM] Pele "I think that making a deal would be the best course of action. We can't take 40 ghouls. I wouldn't be much help in such a fight."
[10:48:54 PM] Manzazzuu "Guys, we should get moving, back the way we came."
[10:49:29 PM] Butterfly "N. If they're already being fed by the complex they'll rat on us."
[10:50:09 PM] Pele "I agree, Manzazzuu. We should get going."
[10:50:19 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "I highly doubt the Gestault is feeding them. They need the bodies remember?"
[10:50:41 PM] Butterfly "For what? Maybe that's where they're going"
[10:51:05 PM] * Manzazzuu starts making his way back to the entrance. Rick follows.
[10:51:18 PM] Manzazzuu "C'mon people. If they're not already here you can bet they're on the way."
[10:51:22 PM] Butterfly "I'll take the rear"
[10:51:23 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Shakes his head negative:: "No they are not. I can assure you."
[10:51:41 PM] * Butterfly stops and stares at 10 intently
[10:51:52 PM] Butterfly "Spil"
[10:52:20 PM] * Cherub turn back and follow manzazuu in the most total silence
[10:52:23 PM] Manzazzuu "Keep moving!" He tells Butterfly over his shoulder.
[10:52:31 PM] * Butterfly doesn't point her gun at him but it's a noticable accessory in her hand
[10:52:37 PM] Butterfly "No. He knows what's going on"
[10:53:42 PM] Manzazzuu "So interrogate him on the way."
[10:54:04 PM] * Pele walks up until he is even with Manzazzu
[10:54:06 PM] Butterfly If 10 walks, she'll continue to gaurd the rear
[10:54:44 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::chuckles behind the resperator at Butterfly:: "I know enough to know that Mages don't go raving insane and strange spirits appearing from normal magic alone. This is Blood Magic."
[10:55:19 PM] * Butterfly seems horrible unimpressed with his answer.
[10:55:27 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Motions to Pele:: "Why do you think your employer chose him?"
[10:56:03 PM] Butterfly "Cause he's cute, and she obviously had good taste"
[10:56:15 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Check your targets dossiers again, they are all Latin in origin."
[10:56:42 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Your dealing with Aztlan's."
[10:57:28 PM] * Pele trembles a bit, but gains his composure
[10:57:48 PM] Manzazzuu "The Aztlans aren't the only ones who know about blood magic."
[10:58:07 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Your right Manzazzuu, but they are the best at it."
[10:58:15 PM] Butterfly "And how do we knoe the ghouls don't have anything to do with their biz?"
[10:59:55 PM] GM_Kagi *10 ::Frowns at Butterfly::
[11:00:36 PM] GM_Kagi *10 "Just a guess. You saying you want to go back?"
[11:01:16 PM] * Pele goes through his dossier, and frowns a bit
[11:02:45 PM] Cherub "isn't their anothr entrance by which we can pass to go to the building's power system without passing withoin those ghoul's territory ?"
[11:03:08 PM] Cherub "another entrance to those sewers that is..."
[11:03:11 PM] * Butterfly holds her comm up so Cherub can see the map.
[11:03:30 PM] Manzazzuu "There's no way to tell how much of the sewers they've claimed as theirs."
[11:04:30 PM] Cherub "better tempting it than going throught 40 ghouls don't you think ?"
[11:06:00 PM] Cherub "their is another entrance to those sewers , if we go back fast enought we have some chance to stay alive long enought to explore it."
[11:06:12 PM] * Butterfly holds up her comm as a light source, hoping it wil lbe enough to see if anything is in the tunnel with them...and her gun...much with the gun.
[11:06:55 PM] * Pele turns to Manzazzu "Should we go back and get them? We are in a hurry... or should be."
[11:07:07 PM] Manzazzuu "You guys keep going back to the entrance. Rick and I will go back for them."
[11:07:32 PM] * Manzazzuu turns around and heads back for Butterfly and 10.
[11:08:08 PM] GM_Kagi *The light is only sufficent to illuminate your face and upper body. You can't even see your feet Butterfly
[11:08:13 PM] * Pele heads towards the entrance, at a laid back pace to allow for the others to catch up when the time comes.
[11:09:31 PM] * Cherub follow manzazuu
[11:09:51 PM] * Butterfly starts to sweat and is ready to strike out against anything that comes near her
[11:09:56 PM] Manzazzuu "Guys, you have to get moving, the ghouls will be here any minute."
[11:09:59 PM] Pele "Umm... Cherub. Shouldn't we go to the entrance?"
[11:10:50 PM] Manzazzuu Manny states as he approaches Ten and Butterfly.
