USH'S MATRIX GAME FIFTH ASSIGNMENT (PHILOSOPHY PATH)- 'The Reason'

There appears to be a general sense of panic amongst the group.

There are actually several routes out from here, Rade. Was there any distinguishing feature you wanted?

In the end, Mors orders you guys to follow the route Cloud is taking.

You start making your way along in that direction...

... before virtually running headlong into an Agent 30 seconds later. He levels his gun also...

RAde uses natural order if fired upon. he quickly changes his course to a safer route (going around some cover)..still following cloud.

It's either on or back, Rade. Cloud has skittered to a halt and sworn.

on it is

No it isn't; there is an Agent in the way.

no way around him?

Nope, only through. Burn has phoned Ariadne, and is advising swift retreat.

swift it is. Rade tries to find anouther route

Burn is saying back to the lift.

very well..

You race off towards the lift... with the Agent giving chase at rather high speed!

crap...
well...if i'm the last one in, rade presses the close doors button

It doesn't have a button, it is a cargo lift; you slide the door manually. On the run, San gives you covering fire to keep the Agent away, and you make it to the lift.

You comfortably slide the door shut as...

SHUNK!

An outstretched Agent hand jams in at the last moment between the heavy metal lift door and the framework, without flinching...

The must steriods in the Agents coolaid. Cast steps to the side and kicks the agents arm while its wedged in the door.

It seems as if there is more activity going on in the compat path, more planning. Maybe the ohilo guys should post in there just for lack of confusion.

Oh, I wasn;t updating as I thought all the Philo players were away.

A number of attacks went towards the Agent's arm, Castor. But as the Agent withdrew, he half-wrenches off the door of the lift with his other arm, and now the lift cannot raise because the wrenched door is obstructing it- and the Agent is about to pick a target...

well..if his hand is reachable, Rade kicks it. if not..then..if i have a gun, i shoot at it.

Must be said, you are a little unwell for direct combat action, Rade.

It is Cloud who closk the problem- using a Roaring Blade Strike, he hacks at the door hinges and severs the door, leaving the Agent with ripped door in hand. The lift then proceeds upwards... but after two floors grinds to a halt as the Agent below grips the cable...

damn..well...up to the others it seems
