[8:42:33 PM] Kagi *****Recap of Last Session*****
The runners have broken into teams to get the most done, the quickest. Butterfly and D.C. have gone "shopping" for demolitions gear and are on route back to the hotel rooms. Manzazzuu has gone alone and negotiated a deal , from the astral, with the ghouls that inhabit the sewers under the Tennement. Meanwhile, Pele has gone off alone to scout the Tennement physically from the outside. Unknown to the rest of the group Pele has run into some trouble..... Current local time is 6pm. The sun is setting in a clear Seattle sky, and the temperature is around 70 degrees and dropping.
[8:42:46 PM] Kagi *****End Recap*****
[8:46:49 PM] Kagi *From the Astral Manzazzuu can see that his Bodyguard has 10 in a headlock and is paitently waiting for his masters return
[8:48:29 PM] * Manzazzuu smirks to himself before he returns to his body, and stands up.
[8:48:36 PM] Manzazzuu "What did you do, Ten?"
[8:49:16 PM] Kagi *10 "Get this ruffian off of me!"
[8:49:45 PM] Manzazzuu "He wouldn't have touched you if you hadn't done something wrong. Now, I suggest you answer my question: What did you do?"
[8:51:11 PM] Kagi *10 "I walked in the room to check on your progress and before I could even blink he grabbed me from the back and has been silently holding me here ever since!"
[8:52:02 PM] * Manzazzuu looks at Rick, then back to Ten.
[8:52:33 PM] Manzazzuu "Are you sure that's all you did? I should remind you he can likely tear your head right off your neck."
[8:55:50 PM] Kagi *10 "Get him off me and ask him yourself!"
[8:56:14 PM] Kagi *10 ::his face is turning a bright red in anger::
[8:57:47 PM] Manzazzuu "He can't talk." He motions for Rick to let the man go. "It isn't wise to approach a mage who's travelling astrally. They typically set up some rather... effective defenses before hand."
[9:00:57 PM] Kagi *10 ::goes into a coughing fit as Rick releases his hold on his throat::
[9:03:08 PM] Kagi *10 ::He stares at Rick and straightens his rumpled suit and tie:: "You should lokk up your dogs next time, they might get hurt!" ::he says before he storms out of the room and slams the door behind him in a rage::
[9:06:51 PM] * Manzazzuu rolls his eyes, then moves into the next room - Rick following.
[9:07:55 PM] Kagi *Butterfly and DC pull up in the van outside, you can hear them park and their chattering
[9:09:53 PM] * Butterfly climbs out of the van with her arms loaded with boxes and bags.
[9:10:51 PM] * DC halls out what she can
[9:12:01 PM] * Butterfly makes a few trips between the van and her room to carry everything in, being VERY delicate with most of it.
[9:14:45 PM] Kagi *10 ::just watches the ladies walk past never offering to help carry anything, he seems extremly angry::
[9:15:36 PM] Manzazzuu "Rick, help the ladies carry in their supplies as they direct. Be -extremely- careful with the supplies."
[9:15:39 PM] * Butterfly sticks her tongue out at 10 on her last trip in.
[9:17:47 PM] * Butterfly steals the tables and desks from everyone elses rooms, completely rearanging her and DC's room so they have to climb over the beds to get through it.
[9:18:30 PM] Kagi *Rick obeys and helps move supplies as the women direct him
[9:19:04 PM] * Doc try to make it clear his tables are needed where they are.
[9:19:11 PM] Manzazzuu "I'm going to go make some calls." He says, moving back into his own room, since everyone's busy.
[9:19:34 PM] DC feel free to tip over the bed for more opace Butterfly"
[9:20:15 PM] * Butterfly tries to make due without Doc's tables.
[9:20:30 PM] * Doc grins.
[9:21:46 PM] DC *space
[9:22:55 PM] Butterfly "I won't need to without all the tables. You wanna help me set up? Just take everything out of their boxes and lay them out on that table."
[9:23:59 PM] * DC nods and helps her out
[9:25:45 PM] * Butterfly organizes the various chemicals and containers that DC puts on the table.
[9:28:59 PM] Butterfly "No one but you and I should come in here for about a day."
[9:29:16 PM] * Butterfly puts on safety goggles.
[9:32:14 PM] Butterfly "Rick, you're in the way. Go get Manny."
[9:33:04 PM] Manzazzuu Rick grunts, and departs.
[9:33:06 PM] Butterfly "Hey, DC, will you hand me that package?" She says with a twinkle in her eyes.
[9:33:56 PM] DC "Sure!
[9:34:10 PM] DC *"Sure "
[9:34:49 PM] * DC makes sure the package isn't volitile
[9:35:09 PM] * DC but is careful nontheless
[9:35:48 PM] * Butterfly takes the very bag and pulls out a very nicely gift wrapped box.
[9:36:47 PM] * Butterfly continues to organize chemicals, ocassionally checking her notes on her comm.
[9:39:07 PM] * Cherub feel a sudden joy rising within his body without really knowing why...
[9:41:39 PM] * Butterfly starts measuring a light grey powder into several small containers.
[9:42:03 PM] * Cherub is laying down on his bed , looking silently at the ceiling while everyone is runing around.
[9:42:29 PM] Kagi *From the other room Manzazzuu contacts his mentor via a closed channel comm conversation, none of the other can hear
[9:43:42 PM] Manzazzuu "Master Zorazin, I require your knowledge." He requests humbly over the comm.
[9:43:46 PM] Butterfly "It may not look like much, but it sure packs quite a bang." Butterfly winks at DC.
[9:43:47 PM] Kagi *Zorazin ::Connects the line to his Comm, he is wiping his mouth. Seems you've caught him at dinner Manzazzuu:: "Hello Manzazzuu, you look good."
[9:44:13 PM] * Cherub thinks about....nothing...oh a bug!
[9:44:39 PM] Manzazzuu "I am well enough, for now. My chances of remaining that way might be increased by your wisdom, Sir."
[9:45:54 PM] * DC pulls out her comm and starts looking at some conjering notes
[9:46:34 PM] Kagi *Zorazin "How can I help you my pupil?" ::he says in a grandfatherly concerned voice::
[9:48:08 PM] Manzazzuu "I am afraid my questions come at an inopportune time. I am preparing to run afoul of a group of magicians we suspect to be Aztlanian. I was wondering if you were familiar with the name Huehueteotl?"
[9:49:37 PM] Kagi *Zorazin ::Looks a bit confused:: "Not off the top of my head. Give me a moment to refrence it to my data base...."
[9:50:17 PM] Manzazzuu "I hope that my questions won't end up ruining your meal." He says with a smile.
[9:57:47 PM] * Butterfly sets aside the containers with the powder in them, and starts rationing out carefully measured portions of a clear liquid into small viles.
[9:59:16 PM] * Manzazzuu waits for Zorazin to finish searching his database.
[9:59:18 PM] Kagi *Zorazin ::He smiles:: "No not at all, it's always a....." ::his smile evaporates:: "Huehueteotl is the most ancient god of the aztecs. Many legends are given to that name, all are bad. This is an evil god Manzazzuu. Why are you asking after the name?"
[10:01:43 PM] Manzazzuu "Some ghouls I met believed he was in a basement I, and a considerable number of associates, have been asked to enter and explore."
[10:04:07 PM] DC "what do you think is keeping pele?"
***** Meanwhile back with Pele *****
8:48* Pele starts jumping from leg to leg, waiting for the unknown's to show themselves.
8:52Kagi *Two Suzuki Mirages come around the corner at a creeping speed and come to rest at the oppisite end of the alley from the dumpsterperhaps 10 meters from you, blocking it off. They are being ridden by two human go-gangers, each carries a Ceska Black Scorpion machine pistol. "You look lost chummer...What are you doing on MY bike, drek head?"
8:53Kagi *Two more human gangers pop up behind you, from the other side of the dumpster, and level their Uzi IV's at you
8:56Pele "Since it isn't yours, I guess I will be going now."
8:57* Pele continues to jump from leg to leg
8:58Kagi "Not on my bike you wont 'omay. Don't make us get physical with you and we might just let you walk away, but I give no promises." ::he says with a snicker::
9:07* Pele stands his ground, jumping from leg to leg, saying nothing to the go gangers
9:10Kagi "You speak english or what? ........Oh frag this, get bent drek brain. You look like your doing the pee pee dance." ::The leader dismounts his bike and begins walking towards you, he levels the Machine pistol at you as he does::
9:11* Pele tenses up, and gets ready to dive towards the go-ganger, if the go-ganger shoots
9:13Kagi ::The leader walks onto the other side of the bike and looks to see if the credstick is still slotted in the ignition::
9:13Kagi ??you leave the key in the bike??
9:14Pele !! I did !!
9:16Kagi ::Smiles:: "Thanks chummer..." ::he mounts the bike::
9:36Kagi *Pele tenses to strike the go-ganger. The go-gangers are ready for trouble and grin viciously as they open fire on Pele. Two of the go-gangers hit Pele with busts from their firearms and he is pinned against the wall by a hail of bullets shreding his cloths.
9:56Kagi *Pele rebounds off the wall like a rubber band and his feet begin moving faster then the naked eye can follow, in a heart beat his heel connects with the leaders head on a reversed round-house. A look of dumb amazment is on his face and then the blow connects and his head cracks open under the impact of Pele's foot. He is dead before his body topples from the bike and hits the ground
10:17* Pele shifts his weight and tucks into a roll as his foot touches the ground. He comes out of the roll with his back to the dumpster
10:18Kagi The final gunman swears in frustration. "I can't get a shot, damn dumpster is in the way" ::The gun man points his Uzi IV at the dumpster and gives it a burst hoping it will penetrate to Pele on the other side, but the bullets do not penetrate::
10:17* Pele taps his comm. to open the teams channel
*****Back at the Hotel with the rest of the Runners*****
[10:04:15 PM] Kagi *Zorazin "Manzazzuu, that is impossible; they must be mistaken. A god? In a basement? This sounds extremly dangerous. You said you where investigating Aztlandian's?"
[10:04:50 PM] Butterfly "Good question."
[10:05:00 PM] Butterfly "You have his number, right?"
[10:05:30 PM] * DC clicks over to Pele's number on his comm
[10:05:40 PM] Manzazzuu "We aren't positive they are from Aztlan, but much circumstancial evidence points to it. The ghestault is hispanic. I have photos..." He sends the photos, in case Zorazin recognises any of them. "And we believe them to be performing blood magic rites in the basement."
[10:05:49 PM] DC "yes I do
[10:05:51 PM] Kagi *Pele's voice booms over the teams open channel, he sounds near panic
[10:06:05 PM] Pele @@ Things got out of hand. I'm at the tenement, behind it, and got three guys on me.@@
[10:07:58 PM] * Butterfly carefully sets aside her work, and marks her place on her comm.
[10:08:09 PM] Butterfly "I'm headed out. You comin'?"
[10:08:24 PM] DC "I'm going in astral"
[10:08:52 PM] * DC pops out of her body and starts looking for him around the place
[10:09:03 PM] Manzazzuu "I will call you back, master. A colleague requires my assistance." ::He says, turning off his comm::
[10:09:13 PM] * Butterfly grabs her gun, a flashpack, and a flashbang. She locks the door on her way out, and runs for the van."
[10:10:41 PM] * Butterfly drives as fast as she can without losing control of her vehicle or hitting anything big.
[10:16:15 PM] * Cherub definitly bored decide to go out to do some shoping.
[10:16:43 PM] * Cherub leave the motel without telling anything to anyone.
[10:21:19 PM] Kagi *Manzazzuu and DC's bodies fall to the floor as they leave them and race through the astral at the speed of thought to the Tenetment. They arrive on the scene of Pele's troubles. A go Gang seems to be trying to steal his bike, they have him trapped in an ally by blocking off one side with a dumpster and the other with two bikes. One go ganger lies dead and Pele is using the dumpster for cover from two of the others, but one is raising his machine pistol to aim at Pele from the other end of the alley
[10:23:30 PM] * Pele sprints towards the guy on the bike who is trapping him, and goes to attack him
[10:23:41 PM] Kagi *Pele himself has taken multiple bullets, his cloths are shreded, but he is not bleeding
[10:34:07 PM] * Pele sprints down the ally towards the lone Ganger on a bike as he raises his machine pistol. The ganger fire randomly but is cought off guard by the speed of Pele's attack and doesn't connect. Again Pele's feet move faster then the eye can follow and the Ganger is struck off the bike with a kick to the chest. He rolls on the ground cluching his chest in pain. He is still alive, but bandly injured.
[10:40:36 PM] Kagi *The gangers at the other end of the ally, behind the dumpster, are in shock at seeing Pele down another of their numbers. Panic can bee seen in their eyes
[10:43:12 PM] * DC pops back into her body and radio's ButterFly Pele's position
[10:43:44 PM] * Manzazzuu manifests in front of Pele, briefly, to tell him. "If you can connect to the astral plane, through astral perception, I can help you." He then 'un-manifests'.
[10:48:28 PM] * Butterfly continues to drive as fast as possible toward the location DC gave her.
[10:50:01 PM] Kagi ::The Gangers behind the dumpster shoot randomly at the manifested form of Manzazzuu:: "What the Frag! Where did the naked flying guy come from!? Frag me! I can't kill 'em! Who the hell is this guy?! No way, no way....no loot' worth this!" ::Both gangers flee, breaking off and make a run for it, yelling in a panic as they retreat leaving their wounded friend behind::
[10:52:21 PM] Pele @@ We got it under control now. @@
[10:53:03 PM] * Pele finishes the go-ganger with a kick in the chest
[10:53:11 PM] Kagi *The downed and virtually defensless ganger screams in terror and throws his arms up in a vain attempt to defend himself, but Pele smashes through his arms and caves-in his chest. The ganger gives one last gurggle and dies his eyes stare blankly at Pele
[10:53:20 PM] * Manzazzuu shrugs, invisibly, and heads back to his body once again. Maybe now he can finish his conversation with Zorazin.

[10:57:41 PM] * Pele searches the bodies for credsticks or something else worth value, skipping the weapons
[10:57:53 PM] * Manzazzuu calls up Zorazin again.
[10:59:30 PM] Kagi *Butterfly arrives on the scene in a screech of tires
[11:00:28 PM] * Butterfly hops out of the van and looks things over, lingering on Pele's dishevled self for a moment.
[11:01:07 PM] Butterfly "You looked em over yet?"
[11:01:17 PM] Pele "I took what I wanted. You can have the rest."
[11:02:36 PM] * Butterfly looks over the bodies, removing anything weapon related she finds. She seems uncomfortable at getting messy, but otherwise uneffected by the scene.
[11:02:47 PM] Pele "Think you can take the bikes?"
[11:03:38 PM] Kagi *Two Ceska Black Scorpion machine pistols lay near the bodies and a variety of home made knives and wrenches adorn them. Two Suzuki Mirages are at the head of the ally
[11:03:58 PM] Butterfly "At least one. I could probably get both if I took the seats out."
[11:05:06 PM] Pele "Could you stack the seats or something to fit both and what not?"
[11:06:01 PM] Butterfly Butterfly starts detaching the seats, "Maybe. I might have to leave a bench. But, well, the bikes are worth more than the seats, right?" she looks at Pele expectantly.
[11:07:01 PM] Pele "I hope so. I don't do vans."
[11:07:26 PM] * Pele drives the bikes up to the van
[11:07:26 PM] Butterfly "Well, come over here and help undo one then."
