Prison Break, part II

[Trax]

Okay, so first thing we need to do, search the bodies for some type of security stick/card.  Then Collan needs to turn off the auto defenses and unlock the doors.  And just to be on the safe side, take up positions at both doors before they open.

Next step once we find the cell is either comms or bring up the life support levels.

[Trax]

You know, if there's a jedi on board, maybe our pike wielding friend is holding on to his lightsaber?

[Trax]

OOC:  Sorry, I was trying to suggest that although I do technically have rank, I wasn't trying to use it as a hammer here.  That's why I gave Trax and Collan the choice.

99.99% of the time Trax will defy anyone that claims/pulls rank on him unless he agrees with the decision/action.  But he'll typically show/verbalize it more when it comes from Jex or Niil.  He gets a kick out of giving them a hard time, even more now that they're officially part of the machine.

But in this case, he's pretty sure the woman would try to get there on her own.  And that typically very quiet little voice way in the back of his head seems to have gotten a lot louder recently and is forcing him to do the 'right' thing.

The "right thing"?  That's scarier than Darth Vader in Spandex doing aerobics to Michael Sembello's Maniac

[Trax]

What exactly is a force lance?  And do we have a clear line of fire at the figure?

[Niil Spaar]

A Force lance is basically a vibroblade combined with a nasty shock prod.

[GM Craig]

No, he's above you, protected by the metal mesh floor. You might do some damage shooting through it, but it'll loose a lot of "oomph" burning through the steel.

And sorry, I meant force pike, not force lance. Force pike is what the big red dude was swinging with reckless abandon in your last fight.

And Darren's definition is correct. Pole vibroblade with a shock prod on the other end.

[Trax]

No, he's above you, protected by the metal mesh floor. You might do some damage shooting through it, but it'll loose a lot of "oomph" burning through the steel.

I assume the same would be true if we tried to stab him from below with the vibroblade?

[GM Craig]

The next floor is about 5m above you, so it would be a but if a jump, but yes - the floor would hamper attempts to attack him directly.

[Niil Spaar]

Basically we have to go sneaky-quiety as best we can up the stairs.

Or have all three of us take a few rounds to line up some nice, sweet shots on this guy's helmet.  Of course we were told that time was of the essence . . .

[GM Craig]

You were also told there were 5 of them.

[Niil Spaar]

Yeah, oy. 

Silent rush and gang-up tactics, then.  Unless we have any grenades left?

[GM Craig]

Collan has 2, Trax has 2, you have 1.

[Collan]

Sneak to get close...grenades to on each if we can get in range. I have to imagine they're spread out to cover a firing arc.

[Trax]

Sneaking up is not going to be easy and I'm not exactly a fan of getting close but I guess it's our best bet. And we should focus on one at a time, even if it comes to the point where we can engage a number if them.

What really terrified me is if these guys have force points.
