USH'S MATRIX GAME FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT PATH)- 'The Heist'

No briefing as of yet, but one will follow.

You guys are legging it away from the CCC building at all due speed. In the chaos of the explosion from before, the collapses since, and the chemical fire you just got caught in, you are able to get away clean, if singed. To remind people, here is the damage you start on for this Assignment:

San: 6
Barb: 1
Ares: 9
Burn: 5
Mors: 6
Cloud: 1

Now, things are tenuous. You guys have not achieved your objective. Agents are still trying to find you, and you have no way out of the Matrix as of yet.

San, your phone rings- it is Finn.

"Sorry for the long silence," he says. "Sentinels are scanning the area and we are having to run very quiet. Anywya, you guys need re-supplying right now. Shez is up to something else so they cannot spare the time to programme anything. I'll guide you to a hardline, so we can bring some guns to you."

Note- whilst some have done it in the beta thread, could all players please update their stat and skill options in the character creation thread. Those who already have done so may wish to check the difference it has made to their characters in the Download thread- espeically San, who is on 13s right now and may wish to re-juggle her downloading

I'm done right?

Yup

allrighty!
now all we need is er... everyone else

So it seems!

...okay, I gotta go check out the downloads to see exactly what's going on there...😑

Happy now?

Yes VERY Happy!!!!!

In Fact MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Scary...

😖

Anyway...

"I could use a few guns to add to my empty arsenal..." Ares says unhappily. "And bring me something to patch my burns!"

Much better...

...and I'm trying to figure out exactly when the hell Barbarossa got on here, since he was supposed to be at a club meeting...😑

*Twilight Zone music*

I could do with a new katana

Marduk is waiting for you at the hardline, complete with his slim Arabian good looks, and a lot of guns concealed around his person- Marduk is a fabulous gunner.

"Hey guys," he says. "You all bearing up ok?"

"I've been hit by an agent, fallen out a window, been shot, jumped across a gaping hole, burnt myself on a hot pipe and heen trapped under some rubble in a room full of dangerous chemicals and fire. Other than that just peachy" Cloud says sarcastically.

"I wish I could tell you things are getting better," says Marduk, "but they are not. This is a situation of great adversity. If it is any compensation, you are in a better state than the others.

"I have brought the weapons you need."

"Great. We need some weapons here. Especially since those damn agents are probably looking for us right now..."

(I'll be going with my same loadout as always...)

I don't need loadout details until I start a loadout section; this is just the time you would be getting the weapons is all.

Marduk shakes his head.

"Don't worry, they seem to be off your case," says Marduk. "They don't actually seem too bothered about you. It's probably because they have dispatched the sentinels to take care of us. They know that even if our ships escape, you guys are dead. That's assuming they know your cvode has been altered, but we think that is a safe bet."

"Great, Sentinels too..." Ares says, shrugging. He takes another Ingrams and as many spare clips as can hold.

Please, don't bother describing the guns, I am only going to ask you for real later!

Does anyone have any questions for Marduk? He can give you sane advice but he'll need to get back to his ship soon.
