USH'S MATRIX GAME: FIRST ASSIGNMENT- 'Codecracker'

(Where am I?)

Kosta, it didn't make any difference, you not being here. You missed that action due to exertion and got shot again. It's just the way it went I am afraid- bad luck, but plenty of opportunities in future.

These vehicles are open topped and those bullets would easily go through them anyway, they are high calibre assault rifle shots.

And guys? I think Burn was very wise in deciding not to try and run down the Agent... that could have gone spectacularly badly...

see
don't doubt my intellegence!

(Ahh well. 🙁 Shit happens)

On the other hand, Kosta, you made an essential difference in clearing out the last guys in that jeep. EVERY action was important there. Even just by being there as a target you have stopped Coeus and Heph from dying.

All in all it has been a good team effort and it looks like you guys have gotten away with it.

Mors dodges by dropping and rolling again.

*gulp*

I'll try and make a break for it.

OOOOOOOOOOHHHH....

Good luck...

Ok, first of all, his kick. Kind of a gamble from me, not wanting to kill people first time out- Kicks are more likely to miss. Of course, if it hits, that's no bloody good.

Agent rolls +1. Which goes to +0 as it is a Kick. (checks BBs skill)

Damn! He's hit. Well, I miscalculated, what can I say? Oh, those of you following the numbers- that he just hit might interest you.

That's 9 damage to you, Mors. From a simple damn kick that only hit dead on. OW! It cracks into your back and nearly wounds you. Then you start to run... and he gets a free blow...

(Note to people... may I interest you in Master level Venerable Grasshopper? And the power 'Flip of the Grasshopper'? This power allows you to make an attack that, if it hits, allows you to MOVE- as in out of the combat if you wish, with no penalty! Mors would kill for that. The Path of the Lone Bamboo has a similar power, that hits and then disengages. VERY useful Agent fighting stuff!)

The Agent laughs as you flee, and Punches.

Agent rolls +1- a hit, again... errr... ow.

As your defence is reduced to 13, that is a hit by four points for the Agent.

Which means he just did 11 damage. His parting uppercut nearly breaks your spine, Mors. That takes you to 35 damage and a death check. You roll evens- still standing! Just. You stagger away, desperately, double wounded...

Lucky for Mors, I over-calculated that damage at first. Still, it's pretty nasty al the same!

(haha, my mom's not here so she doesn't know I'm on here...)

San jumps in Virus's car, guns still at the ready. "Come on, we gotta help them."

(umm...by the way...has Virus even been on here at all lately? I can't remember who's playing her.)

She is played by Phoenix who was on quite a lot but she is now uitterly tied up in sickness (being anaemic) and school exams. She'll drive you out but does not look like she is participating much.

Some gunshots may be ludicrously appropriate at this point, San...

(okay, just wondering - I understand about being busy, most of my computer time these days is sneaking on when my mom's not around O_O)

4 bursts BGB at the agent, to provide cover while Mors flees.

* I jump on the peadle, flying towards Mors*
(sry mors but im assuming your action)
*he jusmps in and i floor it, driving out of the car park and leaving the agent in out dust*
(he cant fire at us cuz we threw out his deagel he he he!)

Mors cries out as he staggers as fast as he can towards the car. He nearly falls, but keeps running.

"I'm not going to see black, Agent Daniels, and I never will by your hand..." Mors mutters. He tries to call out to San and Burn at the car, but he merely gasps out a dry "Help."

San, you roll evens... hmm... four bursts makes that a 17.

Well, all things considered, I shall rule that the Agent burs two exertion dodging, causing him to miss an action (as I had set him up to do so by Posing), and that gives Mors enough time to stagget into the car and for you all to drive away.

Virus, San, Mors and Burn have all reached safety.

The Agent, instead of chasing, watches you go.

"I can wait..." he says. And then, holding his hand up to his earpiece... he turns to chase after the Blonde girl.

Can we see her?
maybe we should pick ehr up too,
im curious

"Shit..." San says while leaning back in her seat. "You okay, Mors?"

Nope- none of you followed her and you lost track.

Uhh, were not in the same car San,
i got tired and jacked my own

*Makes a beeline for the hardline*
"well that went over as well as sh*t on christmas!"

(she can ask you by phone)

Well, that is about as close as you EVER want it to get, Burn. What the hell was going on back there?

Mors watches the Agent start running after the girl. "I can too...I can too..."

Mors turns to San. "I'll be okay..." He cringes. "Thanks for the cover fire, he would have killed me back there. But now I think I'll take my sword into the Matrix with me every time."

Mors takes out his cell phone and contacts Ariadne. "Ariadne, pump as much morphine into me as you can without killing me. He broke my spine..." He cringes again as he tries to get comfortable in the back seat. "And then I'd like you to tell me what the f***ing hell just happened back there! Why did the Agents pop up if we didn't do anything violent yet!"
