Bishop's body turned and his hands brought the pistol to bear as he sighted in on the trooper. GochaNot wasting a second, he squeezed the trigger several times in rapid succession - one way or another this one was going down. Even if it took a full clip to do it... Pistols (5) + Combat pool (5) TN: 5 + 4 (partial cover) -1 (target stationary?) -2 (smartlink II) + 4 (minimal light) = 10 (!)
[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Pistols (5) + Combat pool (2) TN: 5 + 4 (partial cover) -1 (target stationary?) -2 (smartlink II) + 4 (minimal light) + 1 (recoil) = 11 (!) [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]

Henri grits his teach against the strain of maintaining the convincing illusion of a slotted off troll. "Where the hell is Bishop and that 'superior British training' of his?" Thinking as quickly as he's able, Henri alters the illusion to show strike marks appearing on the troll's torso, along with jerks from the 'impacts' and an injured grunt from the phantasm.
The troll drops to into a crouch and Henri remembers to have the illusion produce a rustle & splash as it his the reeds and water. Once the troll hits the water, Henri has the illusory LMG it carries open fire. Hopefully that would keep the trooper from noticing any inconsistencies while Bishop did whatever it was he was doing.

The troll is very convincing - the burst sound is the noise you heard a few weeks back on the mountain range - rattling off hundreds of rounds from a variety of weaponry - that heavy clinking from the LMG and the few flecks of dark blood make the troll even more solid ! You are well chuffed with the effect
Bishop gets his break and lets go the lot towards the trooper who has now given away his position..
The guy staggers then quits firing.. both of you find it difficult to see what happens next in the darkness at the edge of the reedbed but you get a good idea of what he did, when the hot-smoke starts pouring out of the open ground between the reedbed and the troll
Now that Bishop knows where he is it is a lot easier to move in the right direction - and you think he took a couple of hits.. The guy is caught between the Devil and the deep Blue..
no shout of surrender though... he grits his teeth
If he escapes and learns who you are - you can have yourselves a 'hunted' ! ... if ....
Back at the control room the assault troops quickly take control - securing the site - taking positions in defensive points.. one thing you do notice is they are tending to stay out of the building - it is crete - you think that if it were hit by heavy stuff it would be more of a hinderance to the defender..

-------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back in Seattle...
------------------------
Tranquility sat near her bike in Pullayup. She tried not to breathe too much, hand against her nose slightly. Sometimes she really missed being a norm. Back then, she could filter out the scents of decay...the stench of everyone around her. Perfumes and colognes just made it worse. Like throwing filtered attempts of chemical reproduction of flowers and musk over sweat-soaked dying skin. That didn't even go into the other hyperactive senses since well...her situation.
She tried to ignore the sway of her tail as it thumped over the seat of her bike behind her, swaying too and fro restlessly in almost serpentine movements. She glanced at her watch again wondering when this contact would show. Maybe this had all been a bad joke at the mutie's expense and there was no real work. Or worse.

Four-Eyes observes the troop movements, their tactics..maybe they will give a hint or two without even knowing about it..
When the questionning and subsequent 'all clear' signal comes for him, he'll cooperate, but making sure ot leave Meg and the students out of the loop.

The troopers watch F-E and Shade - neither have used their comms since the assault teams arrived and as they cost so much they are discrete too.. tough to spot. As you are remaining compliant with their requests - Millie too.. two will remain watching you all while the rest go about their business.
The consoles are swept with a sniffer Chem traces - explosives.. this place is rigged.. he turns to you all but speaks to the uniformed Millie Any ideas about this seeing as you were on the spot - miss?
Millie helps you earn commendations when she blabs Four-Eyes was able to disable the plastique and remove it to a safer area outside, after cutting us free of the riot foam...
the trooper does one of those slow turns which indicates.. 'did you now? so you know about demo charges.. I wonder what else..? Where's the explosives now ?['/color]
F-E thinks where he laid the couple of kilos of Hi-ex.... retracing his journey in his mind, then thinking about the path the gravs would have taken to set them off, then thinking about the similar path Shade took in the car... and the guys now securing the area...
Tactics - the assault troopers are built for speed and defence as well as packing a nasty punch but there arn't many of them.. they look to be sieze and wait for backup. the building would probably be targetted by heavy fire so outside locations would be better for them to hole up in.. rather than getting covered in crete dust and debris an having to avoid falling roof
Their Laser carbines are bulky - along with an assortment of other kit - there are jackpoints and mount points for further weapon systems too, indicating they are jacked into their suits.

"I think I got him. Closing."
Bishop subvocalized into the comms as he advanced, his left hand to his throat and his right hand back, his body turned sideways and his pistol held at his chest pointing forwards. Bishop made a break for it and tried to close the distance before the trooper recovered. He half expected an ambush, but he was willing to take the risk over the risk of the trooper doing a disappearing act and starting another game of hide and seek.

Heh... They still haven't found my car. If it all fell apart I still had my get away plan. Duck and run. Once I was in my car they'd have a hell of a time finding me. More so once I was out of ear shot. For now I'd play it cool. "Mind If I have a smoke?" He grunted. "No funny moves." I slowly reached for my smokes. I used my zippo instead of my normal tricks. They didn't know I was a mage yet, that could cost them... if we suddenly decide to not play nice but I wasn't capable of much at this point. FE wants to play leader so bad, fine. If he gets me killed I'll haunt his ass.

Huh..they got a chem analyzer too..'figured it was a good buy..
Milie (hopefully) managed to get Four-eyes more in the clear what with talking about how he disarmed them all right after they got all foamed up..The trooper on the other hand, seemed curious, if not interested.
"2 Brown bags there..One got the detonators, the other the plastique..got one buried some 30 feet in front of the building as well, but the 'seems the flyboys got to the GRAVs before they even got in the kill zone..just follow the copper line there..Got 2 charges in the control room too; they're neutralized."
He hoped that would sufficed; at least with that they will not push their search toward the camp where he stashed 2 charges. Might as well get some gear out of this.

"I think I got him. Closing - need noise cover." OOC: Dude, the illusion's letting drive with a belt fed LMG, how much frikkin noise cover could you possibly need? BTW, I'm going to be away for 2 weeks from Monday. I might be able to get into an internet cafe, but I dunno yet. If I can I won't have access to my books.

Micro is still with Meg and the students, when the troopers come this way Micro will let Meg do most of the talking about why we are here. Micro lets Meg know it would be best if our name or at least the students names are left out because the guys plans we foiled may want to put a few holes into our bodies. Just let me know how you want to handle this. Micro says, then thinks to himself. Man I'm no diplomat I'm just the teams combat mage that from what we just went through need alot more power.

Bishop makes up plenty of ground coming up close to the trooper from behind.. the guy lets go another two short controlled bursts at the troll - aiming low - the hotsmoke begins to fill the area between the reedbed and troll .. the trooper was taking advantage of the last bit of reasonable visibility to wound the troll...
He is swapping his mag as Bishop gets within reach..
Bishop you have the choice of going in and mixing it up in the swamp or you can plug him from a safer distance... either way you have the drop on him... it is still dark - he would be able to change the mag if he is still standing after you shoot him .. or rifle butt if you get in close..
once he gets out of the reeds and into the hotsmoke he will have a good chance of escape..
The assault trooper listens to F-E then motions to one of the others a series of hand gestures he confirms to F-E please confirm where that the plas is triggered from so we may ensure that it is neutralised... he follows Four-Eye's gestures tracing the cable to the control console where the ends can be quickly plugged in... one trooper collects and holds up the the loose ends while a second traces the cable out into the darkness - returning quickly with the detonator and cable.
They look at the blocks on the console - one shrugs - tough to do in hardened armour.. a swift check around them - and they are left in place just in case.
For the next twenty minutes Shade and F-E along with the two cops have various troopers move in and around the control room area - you are observers - realising that you have little influence on these guys who do not seem to want your help. (ingrates) Eventually one officer in fatigues approaches the four of you (Shade - your car will be found soon as they start a sweep of the local area - I presume you will have to drop the spell... else they may treat it as hostile..)
So how did you four come to be holed up here fending off a grav tank and a couple of squads of troops?
