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

Good luck Mors!

Yay, random goons.

I will fire three bursts at the first one (and I think that empties my gun). Willow Step for defense.

"Burn!" Ares calls out. "Ask Finn if there is anyone headed my way!"

If need be, Ares reloads his gun.

"Finn? Ares needs Heads up? Any guys coming his way?"

"Hello Khali, nice of you to drop by..." Mors says, not letting any emotions show, though he was now experiencing fear.

"I do not want to harm you, despite the fact that you want to harm me. I know words won't help, but I want you to know that I would rather be fighting by your side rather than against you. You are a worthy opponent, you just made some very strange choices..."

Natural Order for defense against her potshots that she'll be taking.

Shiza, Mors...

If I'm in range I'll use FLYING WEAPON to attack the goon (I am assuming/hoping there is only one)

(I have a BAD feeling about the gunner, Cloud, I'd just take a quick peek from cover...)

San, these goons seem to be less suicidal, and dodge. You roll evens for a total of 15. Not quite a kill, I am afraid, as he dodged. They all fire back. Willow Step saves you once, but we have a hit, I am afraid.

As you wait, Mors, Khali waits also, simply levelling her gun at you. THe sequence frames out.

You are about five frames distant from him, you reckon, Cloud. So you would need to close two of those before making the Flying Weapon attack.

I'll do as Rex suggested and duck back for cover

Then silence...

(Well, see who it is!)

San fires three more bursts at the injured goon.

Shell of the Turtle for defense.

How can it be silent? We're in a factory 😛

I'ld like to know who it is I'm up against, can I take a peek to see?

He is blasted down easily, and you spiral out the way of the gunfire, San.

Fourth sequence speed roll is a 2.

Cloud, you are still in cover behind your machinery.

Burn, you emerge up the stairs into a VERY wide area full of concrete pillars- a disused storage level.

"Careful," says Finn. "You've got..."

But you spin into cover and prepare your weapon when a burst of fire sounds out on the far side of the room.

Ares, your first sign of alarm is when you hear a weapon cocking. Tyr steps out ahead of you, MP5 in hand.

Actions from everyone save Mors. Khali fires a very controlled two bursts at you, Mors- snapped.

Checking would give your assailant a shot, Cloud.

Hmmm, so I'm guessing it's not a mook but one of Jericho's men. I'ld guess Loomis with a rifle

Also I don't suppose I could use my katana to see a reflection of them?

Not an accurate one, neat idea though that is. Something else may work...

I could check and use Natural Order though...right?
