*****Recap of Last Session*****
The team stands triumphant. At last they have tracked down and killed the final member of the Gestault, the leader. But it has cost the team another casualty, Cherub's body lays unmoving on the basement's plastecrete floor.
Butterfly seems to have fled the fight. She was last seen running south down the western corridor before she disappeared beyond even low light vison's range.
A stranger has shown up just in time to lend a crucial hand. Surprisingly he has access to the team's encrypted radio frequency and seems to be acting in conjunction with them. Nothing beyond that is known about the new comer.
A well placed grenade from the team's demolitions expert, Butterfly, has broken the water pipes above the spreading inferno of bodies. But it is too little too late and only seems to be slowing the inevitable spread of the fire.
By contract the runners still have to destroy the BTL lab on the eastern side of the 2nd floor and last the team knew a large group of gangers where still patrolling somewhere in the building.
Local time is 12:17am. The Team is positioned at the bottom of the stairs in the North West corner of the basement.

The ganger grabs his throat with both hands, the sound of someone choking to death is heard by all, before htting the floor, dead. Vince returns back behind his cover.
[9:47:52 PM] * DC mutters to herself in the japanese tounge then stands up tall and projects her hands out at a 12:00 and 7:00 formation. as she reaches her arm's length a wave of energy flows to the middle of the gangers and erupts toppeling them all to the ground

[10:28:38 PM] * Manzazzuu waits there for the others.
[10:29:07 PM] * Vince arrives at the Lab.
[10:29:08 PM] * Butterfly followed on manny's heals.
[10:29:25 PM] GM_Kagi * The Tenement is a picture form some horror movie. Filth and graffiti cover everything, BTL junkies too busy wasting away to get up and move litter the hallways and various rooms on the way. Everyone concious seems to have left the Tenement like rats from a sinking ship
[10:29:46 PM] * Butterfly starts pulling home-made grenades out of her pockets.
[10:29:58 PM] * Vince adjusts his suit "Punk-ass bums"
[10:30:26 PM] * Manzazzuu waits outside the BTL-lab 'supervising' while Butterfly sets her charges.

[10:36:44 PM] Vince "Well, I was-a sent here to get you out"

[10:41:36 PM] * Vince seeing that everyone is out, Vince closes the march.
[10:42:28 PM] * Pele follows Butterfly **
[10:43:02 PM] * Butterfly takes less than a minute to set all the charges. She heads to the furthest door and starts a solid walk down the hall toward the stairs. As she passes each door to the BTL labs she tosses a grenade or two deep into the room. The explosions are multicolored and sparkle like fire works. Then the fire begins to spread. The fire from each grenade burns a different color, the final effect a...
[10:43:03 PM] * Butterfly ...technicolor rainbow of flame. Then, she runs heads for the stairs.
[10:43:54 PM] * Manzazzuu is more than happy to get the hell out of there at this point - follows.
[10:43:56 PM] Vince "Ok, the lady did her thing now..let's-a go now."
[10:44:48 PM] * DC fallows Vince to his van
[10:45:34 PM] * Butterfly fallows as well.
[10:46:12 PM] * Doc is right behind DC towards the van also
[10:47:15 PM] * Manzazzuu will drop his spells once they reach the van.
[10:47:38 PM] * Butterfly will keep her gun out until we reach the motel.
[10:49:35 PM] * Vince leads the group outside, to a bulled hole filled, scorched 'vintage' GMC step van. A big Neon Green "T" is highly visible on the passenger's side, visible mainly becasue of the rust that seems to be filling the van's body. After unlocking the doors, vince sits in the driver's seat, unloading the Remington 990 and putting it on the ground.
[10:50:30 PM] * DC piles into the van with the rest of the runners
[10:50:35 PM] Vince "C'mon, the cops are-a coming here!"
[10:50:56 PM] * Butterfly climbs in as well.
[10:51:17 PM] * Manzazzuu will have no hesitation in climbing into the van.
[10:51:17 PM] GM_Kagi *Sirens can now be heard in the area. They are closing on this location.

[10:52:35 PM] * Pele sprints and jumps into the van
[10:53:01 PM] * Vince puts in on Drive and drives off from the area.

[10:54:03 PM] * Vince lights a smoke, the he reached for his sealtbelt and buckles up
[10:54:30 PM] GM_Kagi *As the van pulls away Black smoke can be seen issuing from the Tenement as the fire takes hold of the old building. A fire truck round the corner as the van pulls from sight.
[10:54:34 PM] * DC buckles up if she can upon hearing the click
[10:55:56 PM] Vince "So, where to now?"
[10:55:59 PM] * Doc looking at Butterfly and getting his medkit out "let me take a look at that."
[11:00:41 PM] Manzazzuu "There's a hotel we were staying at." He says in response to Vince's question, giving him directions.
[11:01:22 PM] Pele "We need to contact the boss."
[11:01:46 PM] DC "and we need to get Butterfly's van as well"
[11:02:18 PM] * Vince drives to the hotel, trying not to get too much pot-holes along the way
[11:02:24 PM] Butterfly "Someone call while we drive then."
[11:04:15 PM] * Vince turns to DC "So..that Ten guy is really dead right?"
[11:04:41 PM] DC "yes he committed suicide... sort of"
[11:05:08 PM] DC "the thing in the basement took over his mind and he jumped on the fire while he laughed"
[11:05:22 PM] Vince "Great, just fraggin' great..he was the one that hired me..."
[11:05:40 PM] * Manzazzuu switches his main commlink to hidden mode, and switches his decoy commlink to active but passive mode.
[11:05:46 PM] * DC shivers recalling this laughter
[11:06:30 PM] * Vince mubbles to himself "great..another no money job..dman..stupi..fra...dr.."
[11:08:04 PM] * Butterfly pulls out her comm and checks the addresses the various maps and info came from to see if they were all Ten's.
[11:10:45 PM] Vince "Ya know, its-a kinda rare seeing a employer gettin' his hands dirty with his employees...guess Ten really liked the danger of his-a job"
[11:10:52 PM] GM_Kagi *All info was funneled to the group by Ten. In fact he used various re-mailers to cover even his tracks
[11:13:55 PM] Pele "We still get paid."
[11:14:14 PM] Vince "Who's paying?"
[11:15:40 PM] GM_Kagi *The runners pull up to the seedy hotel they have rented out and Vince parks the Van. It's late so the "Ladies of the Night" are out front and working, but they steer well away from the rag tag group of heavily armed Runners.
[11:16:34 PM] * Butterfly head immediately inside the hotel and starts packing up her things.
[11:17:11 PM] GM_Kagi * As Butterfly opens the door to the hotel several men are waiting for her..
[11:17:18 PM] * DC packs her stuff as well
[11:17:23 PM] * Vince smiles at the sight of the working girls.
[11:17:34 PM] * Doc does the same collecting all the medical supplies he had ready and out puttin in his duffle bag as quick as he can
[11:17:38 PM] * Butterfly gets her gun back out quickly
[11:18:14 PM] DC "roomservice?" DC says meekly
[11:19:02 PM] * Doc seeing the commotion slowly gets into the open van
[11:19:11 PM] Manzazzuu goes in with Butterfly. "Need a hand?" He asks. "I think we should head back to the diner where we met the Johnson."
[11:19:55 PM] * Pele comes out and goes to his room
[11:19:57 PM] GM_Kagi *Several of the men have the look of trained security goons, while one sits on 10's former bed. The sitting man's face is painted up like some kind of creepy circus clown, he has long hair pulled back and braided into a pony-tail. He is dressed in a bomber style jacket, t-shirt, and jeans. The T-shirt reads "insert skull here".
[11:20:58 PM] GM_Kagi ::The Clown faced man greets Butterfly as she enters:: "Hello. You must be Butterfly."
***End Session***
The team stands triumphant. At last they have tracked down and killed the final member of the Gestault, the leader. But it has cost the team another casualty, Cherub's body lays unmoving on the basement's plastecrete floor.
Butterfly seems to have fled the fight. She was last seen running south down the western corridor before she disappeared beyond even low light vison's range.
A stranger has shown up just in time to lend a crucial hand. Surprisingly he has access to the team's encrypted radio frequency and seems to be acting in conjunction with them. Nothing beyond that is known about the new comer.
A well placed grenade from the team's demolitions expert, Butterfly, has broken the water pipes above the spreading inferno of bodies. But it is too little too late and only seems to be slowing the inevitable spread of the fire.
By contract the runners still have to destroy the BTL lab on the eastern side of the 2nd floor and last the team knew a large group of gangers where still patrolling somewhere in the building.
Local time is 12:17am. The Team is positioned at the bottom of the stairs in the North West corner of the basement.

[8:51:30 PM] GM_Kagi *It takes only moments for Manzazzuu and DC to follow Butterfly to her destination. She is near the entrance from the sewer to the basement you used to infiltrate the Tenement in the first place. With a will she seems to be searching along the walls and ceiling for something
[8:52:46 PM] Manzazzuu "What are you looking for, Butterfly?" He asks as he approaches. He keeps his voice low in case enemies may be near.
[8:53:20 PM] Butterfly "Water main" she says in normal tones.
[8:53:56 PM] Manzazzuu "Why?" He asks, coming up beside her and eyeing the walls.
[8:54:24 PM] Butterfly "Fire makes it stronger"
[8:54:34 PM] DC "what?
[8:54:56 PM] Manzazzuu ".... Damn that Ten." He grumbles, and tries to help Butterfly find a source of copious amounts of water.

[9:00:57 PM] Pele "The compliment"
[9:01:57 PM] Manzazzuu "So, I guess now the question is, now that we've found the water-main, how do we get the water to the fire?"
[9:02:01 PM] * DC communicats to her spirit to distroy anything non living in the rooms where the BTL labs were supposed to be
[9:03:13 PM] DC "get the elivator door to cover the hole and cover the grate?"
[9:03:36 PM] DC "then bust the main and flood the basement?"

[9:11:13 PM] * Doc muttering to himself shakes all over " He knows...ME....HE knows ...ME.."
[9:11:17 PM] Manzazzuu "Well, it seems we need only destroy the BTL lab and we can be done with this .... debauchery."
[9:11:33 PM] * Vince glances over at Doc
[9:12:03 PM] Doc "..gonna ...come..."
[9:12:04 PM] * Butterfly blatently ignores Vince's panic attack and watches Doc with interest.

[9:13:20 PM] * Butterfly readies her gun in case Doc has been taken over too.
[9:13:37 PM] DC "Doc Snap out of it!"
[9:14:12 PM] Doc "we need to go HE is still in this place" the gun pointed at him snaps Doc back to the moment
[9:14:41 PM] Vince "Let's roll then"
[9:14:44 PM] Manzazzuu "We intend to, as soon as the lab is blown."
[9:14:53 PM] DC "Doc what year is it?"

[9:42:25 PM] * Vince pops out of his corner, and shoots twice at a young ganger, hitting him once in the chet and once in the throat. The ganger grabs his throat with both hands, the sound of someone choking to death is heard by all, before htting the floor, dead. Vince returns back behind his cover.
[9:47:52 PM] * DC mutters to herself in the japanese tounge then stands up tall and projects her hands out at a 12:00 and 7:00 formation. as she reaches her arm's length a wave of energy flows to the middle of the gangers and erupts toppeling them all to the ground
[9:49:06 PM] * DC the force was a bit to much as some blood begins to trikle from her lips and nose
[9:51:37 PM] * Vince notices the blood comming out of DC's nose. "Don't burn yer'self now, we need you standing."
[9:52:12 PM] * Manzazzuu sighs as the prepared spell dies on his lips. He would have to do something, eventually about his tendency to hesitate in combat. No matter.

[10:21:56 PM] Vince "Listen..I don't know why you were sent here, but I don't wanna be heading back to the van, only to get hsot in the back by some half-awake ganger punk."

[10:29:07 PM] * Vince arrives at the Lab.
[10:29:08 PM] * Butterfly followed on manny's heals.
[10:29:25 PM] GM_Kagi * The Tenement is a picture form some horror movie. Filth and graffiti cover everything, BTL junkies too busy wasting away to get up and move litter the hallways and various rooms on the way. Everyone concious seems to have left the Tenement like rats from a sinking ship
[10:29:46 PM] * Butterfly starts pulling home-made grenades out of her pockets.
[10:29:58 PM] * Vince adjusts his suit "Punk-ass bums"

[10:36:44 PM] Vince "Well, I was-a sent here to get you out"

[10:41:36 PM] * Vince seeing that everyone is out, Vince closes the march.
[10:42:28 PM] * Pele follows Butterfly **
[10:43:02 PM] * Butterfly takes less than a minute to set all the charges. She heads to the furthest door and starts a solid walk down the hall toward the stairs. As she passes each door to the BTL labs she tosses a grenade or two deep into the room. The explosions are multicolored and sparkle like fire works. Then the fire begins to spread. The fire from each grenade burns a different color, the final effect a...
[10:43:03 PM] * Butterfly ...technicolor rainbow of flame. Then, she runs heads for the stairs.
[10:43:54 PM] * Manzazzuu is more than happy to get the hell out of there at this point - follows.

[10:47:15 PM] * Manzazzuu will drop his spells once they reach the van.
[10:47:38 PM] * Butterfly will keep her gun out until we reach the motel.
[10:49:35 PM] * Vince leads the group outside, to a bulled hole filled, scorched 'vintage' GMC step van. A big Neon Green "T" is highly visible on the passenger's side, visible mainly becasue of the rust that seems to be filling the van's body. After unlocking the doors, vince sits in the driver's seat, unloading the Remington 990 and putting it on the ground.
[10:50:30 PM] * DC piles into the van with the rest of the runners
[10:50:35 PM] Vince "C'mon, the cops are-a coming here!"
[10:50:56 PM] * Butterfly climbs in as well.
[10:51:17 PM] * Manzazzuu will have no hesitation in climbing into the van.
[10:51:17 PM] GM_Kagi *Sirens can now be heard in the area. They are closing on this location.

[10:53:01 PM] * Vince puts in on Drive and drives off from the area.

[10:54:30 PM] GM_Kagi *As the van pulls away Black smoke can be seen issuing from the Tenement as the fire takes hold of the old building. A fire truck round the corner as the van pulls from sight.
[10:54:34 PM] * DC buckles up if she can upon hearing the click
[10:55:56 PM] Vince "So, where to now?"
[10:55:59 PM] * Doc looking at Butterfly and getting his medkit out "let me take a look at that."
[11:00:41 PM] Manzazzuu "There's a hotel we were staying at." He says in response to Vince's question, giving him directions.
[11:01:22 PM] Pele "We need to contact the boss."
[11:01:46 PM] DC "and we need to get Butterfly's van as well"
[11:02:18 PM] * Vince drives to the hotel, trying not to get too much pot-holes along the way
[11:02:24 PM] Butterfly "Someone call while we drive then."
[11:04:15 PM] * Vince turns to DC "So..that Ten guy is really dead right?"
[11:04:41 PM] DC "yes he committed suicide... sort of"
[11:05:08 PM] DC "the thing in the basement took over his mind and he jumped on the fire while he laughed"
[11:05:22 PM] Vince "Great, just fraggin' great..he was the one that hired me..."
[11:05:40 PM] * Manzazzuu switches his main commlink to hidden mode, and switches his decoy commlink to active but passive mode.
[11:05:46 PM] * DC shivers recalling this laughter
[11:06:30 PM] * Vince mubbles to himself "great..another no money job..dman..stupi..fra...dr.."
[11:08:04 PM] * Butterfly pulls out her comm and checks the addresses the various maps and info came from to see if they were all Ten's.
[11:10:45 PM] Vince "Ya know, its-a kinda rare seeing a employer gettin' his hands dirty with his employees...guess Ten really liked the danger of his-a job"
[11:10:52 PM] GM_Kagi *All info was funneled to the group by Ten. In fact he used various re-mailers to cover even his tracks
[11:13:55 PM] Pele "We still get paid."
[11:14:14 PM] Vince "Who's paying?"
[11:15:40 PM] GM_Kagi *The runners pull up to the seedy hotel they have rented out and Vince parks the Van. It's late so the "Ladies of the Night" are out front and working, but they steer well away from the rag tag group of heavily armed Runners.
[11:16:34 PM] * Butterfly head immediately inside the hotel and starts packing up her things.
[11:17:11 PM] GM_Kagi * As Butterfly opens the door to the hotel several men are waiting for her..
[11:17:18 PM] * DC packs her stuff as well
[11:17:23 PM] * Vince smiles at the sight of the working girls.
[11:17:34 PM] * Doc does the same collecting all the medical supplies he had ready and out puttin in his duffle bag as quick as he can
[11:17:38 PM] * Butterfly gets her gun back out quickly
[11:18:14 PM] DC "roomservice?" DC says meekly
[11:19:02 PM] * Doc seeing the commotion slowly gets into the open van
[11:19:11 PM] Manzazzuu goes in with Butterfly. "Need a hand?" He asks. "I think we should head back to the diner where we met the Johnson."
[11:19:55 PM] * Pele comes out and goes to his room
[11:19:57 PM] GM_Kagi *Several of the men have the look of trained security goons, while one sits on 10's former bed. The sitting man's face is painted up like some kind of creepy circus clown, he has long hair pulled back and braided into a pony-tail. He is dressed in a bomber style jacket, t-shirt, and jeans. The T-shirt reads "insert skull here".
[11:20:58 PM] GM_Kagi ::The Clown faced man greets Butterfly as she enters:: "Hello. You must be Butterfly."
