USH'S MATRIX GAME FIFTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT PATH)- 'Payback'

OK, Ush would my idea about sticking the sword into the chute work?

Depending on exactly what you do, I am afraid you will just have to see...

OK guys, decision time. Slide and do nothing about the agent, stick my sword into the middle of the shute about half-way down, or whatever other ideas people have come up with 😛

I'm in favor of my sword in the shute idea

Yeah, but if it doesn't work then you're swordless, and you'd also have to be the last down the chute so that one of us doesn't get sliced by it...

damnit

Ok, just here me out!

We going down the chute, So were all gonna hit the bottom in a quick sucession. San goes first just in case, the the rest of the hurt people. Then Cloud, Cloud on the way down, Drags his sword and basicly cuts a big hole in the chute while sliding so the agent falls to his death and Cloud is OK and still has his sword at the bottom.

Get it. I think thats the best plan...

We are not trying to fight anything anyway. We are running.

Block the chute with your sword if you must. I think it might stall him a bit. Jam it in there ACROSS the chute, if you can.

Yea but just in case I think it would be good to have a sword handy.

It not attacking to slice up the bottom nor will it take much time.....

OK, I'll go with Burns plan, and if that doesn't work then I'll go with Mors'

Sounds good to me.

ok, lets just go..

The chute is rathe steep, being designed for materials rather than people, normally to land in a skip down the bottom.

Unfortunately, that means that Cloud simply gets stuck- his sword impaled in the chute' side, him hanging from it.

The Agent reaches the edge, and looks down at you, menacingly...

San, you emerge first into the skip... which is immediately under fire from a second Agent over to the left.

Water weapon saus - "Twirl your Weapon around in a display that makes it hard to see. " Could I use this to spin the sword around to cut the shute and slide down the rest of the way?

Unfortunately, you need room to swing the sword in the first place, Focus powers being about martial artistry etc. rather than simply making things happen.

OK, could I just pull my sword out then? And what were we actually supposed to do then?

I think you should just leave the sword, Cloud...you tried, and it didn't work.

Natural Order against the Agent's fire...and how much ammo do I have? If any?

A few bursts. Again, it's the wounded people you want to worry about.

That Agent may grab you by the time you dislodge the sword, Cloud...

So I get to be an Agent target...fun. Heh.

Cloud, just forget the sword, it's not worth it. At the very least it'll be an obstacle for the Agent to deal with.

Okay, someone find out where we're to go next. As soon as you get out of the chute, go. Cloud should go first, and I'll go last and try and distract the Agent by firing whatever's left in my gun at him. Or so I suggest, if anyone else has a better idea post it.

K, I'll go. Shame to leave my sword...although it will do quite nicely for my story as I was going to name the sword etc.

Not wanting to downplay your drama, Cloud... but it's made of 0s and 1s. It has existed for 30 minutes.

"The caretaker's hut!" calls Ariadne into the phone, as you fire to distract the Agent, San. The one up top grabs at Cloud, who lets go of the sword and drops down.

The Agent then tears the top of the cute from its moorings...
