USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT)- 'The Real'

"Indeed. They'll find out, but right now, that's the last thing they need to hear."

Ok, noe, you guys have a new mission. The Oracle has given you a link-in point which should put you in a perfect positon to jack an Osprey.

It is roughly around this time that the plan to sen San and Cloud in comes about.

Mors will help with that in any way he can, if he is needed. I assume the crew of the Percy's got it, though.

So I'll actually be able to, you know, do something again soon? Sweet.

Yaaaay!

Now... I might actually want some sort of plan, as you'll be going in hot.

Do we know how many soldiers will be boarding that Osprey?

Finn is checking it out now; there were about two dozen on the ones you saw before.

Hmm...

Would an ambush or surprise attack be feasible? We want to catch them off-guard, so that we can down as many men as possible before they have a chance to return fire. We ARE going in slightly battered, after all.

Maybe split into two small teams, gunners on one end to kill from a distance and distract the guards, while the melee team sneak in from the other direction and attack them from behind, intrusion might mean we could get behind them without them noticing and do a lot of damage before they can react.

Hey, Mors, if you want to do some sort of ambush/sneak attack...keep people's intrusion scores in mind this time, okay? 😛

Your main target is really the crew rather than the soldiers, who will board separately.

Under no circumstances can you start any sort of gunfight.

So we'll be able to get to the Osprey before the soldiers do?

I'm assuming that we will be able to get to the crew without confronting the soldiers, since we cannot start any sort of gunfight.

Here's the current dice available for everyone with Intrusion...

Mors - 3
Fire - 3
Ares - 9
Burn - 8
Hawk - 5
San - 8 (SC)
Cloud - 6
Melis - 5
Barb - 6

San and Cloud aren't coming in with us, I don't think, due to the fact that they're barely conscious at this point.

Mors and Fire completely lack Intrusion, as well, and so we're most likely to ruin everything if we sneak in. We should meet up with you all once the Osprey is secured.

Which leaves Barb, Melis, Hawk, Ares, and Burn sneaking in to handle the crew. That could easily be five silent take downs, trusting that Ares and Burn don't get trigger happy. Please don't get trigger happy.

How many crew members are there, Ush?

Yes, you should be able to get to it first.

San and Cloud are coming, but they won't be ready (as we have earlier seen, in a temporally roundabout way) until after you guys are done.

As I thought.

My plan stands then. Melis, Barb, Ares, Burn, and Hawk will sneak in, secure the Osprey by taking down the crew (quietly!!!).

Will we be retrieving San and Cloud from a separate point? If so, it might be good to do the same for Mors and Fire, seeing as we can't sneak in.

Works for me. Ares is super-sneaky (which is bizarre for one of MY characters) and he has Hands of Light, so he should be able to punch out any unsuspecting mook.

Nah, you only have the one link-in point so everyone boards from one source.

I'm guessing we'll be able to get San and Cloud on at a separate time, so I think Mors and Fire should board with them. That way, those making the sneaking attempt at the Osprey will not be foiled by our bad rolling.

Ok, sounds good.

You guys are prepping for action- the loadout post will come soon!

Sweet.

Would Mors and co. be able to bring extra weapons with them onto the Osprey? Such as in a crate or bag or whatnot. We might need it.
