Alright every body, wail on him.

Aidan nods as Mark goes down and turns his attention to the last guard. "Deal with the Kangaskhan... Ice Punch," he orders before whipping his disc-blade at the guard. Zex nods and swings a glowing blue fist at the larger Pokemon.

Ennis stops and lights up a cig.

'You're outnumbered and outgunned since we easily took out your boss. You wanna do yourself a favor and give up and get tied up? Or do you want to risk serious injury or death in a fight you'll lose?'

Exp be dolled out at the end of the job here, in one lump sum. The boss fight was based on your current capabilities, I don't want to disturb that balance.

Seeing everyone finally dealt with, Donny leaves the Duskull's body after bringing it to Eddie. He returns to his own, slightly inhuman, form below deck. He quickly comes back up onto the pier and asks around, "Everyone alright?"

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan nods and answers, "I'm fine, though a bit stiff..." He tries to stretch, still unsure what Mark did to him that caused him to be paralyzed like that. Giving it a moment's thought, he decides to try and work through it rather than using his Lumlum Juice. "Hell of a job you did there, Zex," he says, before recalling the Sneasel. "Get some rest now." Looking at the others, he then says, "Let's see if they've got any spare potions or other healing items on them before we tie them up - I'm pretty sure that one," he nods at Mark, "should also have the access card for the control room." He then puts actions to words, starting to rifle through Mark's pockets, relieving him of his radio and any other communications gear and looking to see what useful stuff he might have.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Between them, you find one Lumlum Juice, 2 Lemonades, a Soda Pop, 3 Potions and an Antidote. You find several key badges, and radios. They were all silent, it seems they came enforce to get you. Mark's ID badge was different than the others, and there was a piece of paper in his breast pocket with the daily codes.

[Eshkigal]

As he finally stops hallucinating that everyone's giant, weird eared bats that speak backwards, Eddie shakes his head a bit.
"Choir judged...what the void drugs do you take to toss that muk around?"
He looks to Donny, and then to the others.
"They may've hit the sirens. Two to the gate, two to the security office for now? Use the loot to patch up as we go?"

[BluesEclipse]

Taking the spare Lumlum Juice and quickly using it to cure his paralysis, Aidan answers, "It'll take all of us to get things ready for this. Better to focus on that - if they got an alarm out, our chances of getting out are better as a group as well."

Spoiler

I don't need any of the other healing items - I've got potions, antidotes and trainer heals, but am lacking in trainer status cures - only have one, and would prefer to save it for if needed during/after the boss fight.

[MintyNinja]

Donny strips away the radios and other supplies from the guards and then starts double checking them for anything in their pockets. "What are we going to do with these guys? There were cranes inside the dry-docks, might be able to just hang them from their belts, right?" He leaves the healing items alone, his own supply was well stocked.

[BluesEclipse]

"More work than we need to worry about, plus more risk of someone noticing too quickly. Tie them up, stuff them in crates that are well away from the edge of the docks," Aidan answers, "and someone should find them without too much trouble once we're gone."

[IrnBruAddict]

'First things first, I'm getting changed.'

Ennis starts to strip into her Cipher uniform that she was wearing under her clothes, before putting on her helmet.

[Eshkigal]

While helping to get the people tied up, Eddie checks for wallets and stealth tucks the cash away in his pockets for...safekeeping. Yeah, that's it.
Besides, if they wanted money, they could've grabbed said wallets earlier.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan nods, working with Eddie to tie up the men and not commenting on his pocketing of any cash - there can be time to sort that out later on. Right now, they have a job to finish. He says to the others as he begins moving the bound guards over to the crates to hide them, "Go ahead and grab whatever of the healing stuff you want - I'll take what's left. But we need to get moving, I think."

[IrnBruAddict]

Ennis grabs a potion and a Soda Pop.

[Eshkigal]

Eddie grabs a lemonade and chugs it, before grabbing a potion and Clamps.
"Rest can go with our supplies on the boat for now."

So I just need you guys to say what everyone is doing, and we'll skip ahead to the part where you make your thrilling getaway by boat as the docks burn on the horizon.

[BluesEclipse]

Aidan nods and says to Donny, "You can have the rest. Let's get started with this, shall we?" Turning his attention to Eddie, he then says, "You're our boat guy, so what do we need to do to get the boats ready to launch and start the blaze?"

Spoiler

If nobody objects, I'm fine with moving to the 'set stuff on fire and get the muk out of there' part of the plan.

[MintyNinja]

"Fine," Donny says as he pockets whatever's left.

So... never found out if there was anyone else on the other boats... Assuming none, then I'm ready to help with set up.

[Eshkigal]

As they drag the guards to a dumpster that would likely protect them, Eddie talks to the others.
"Okay, I'll give you a short walk through before we start on the oil, and you can run that part, alright? Also, I have an idea you migth find quite agreeable..."
After giving Aidan and Donny a quick run through of how to get most ships to set out, Eddie takes Ennis and heads back down to the fuel docks as the others got to work. After some discussion, they decide the place would look a lot happier with a nice giant blaze going (pity, though. These boats were all masterpieces...). So they went, got a full fuel ship, and began hosing the docks all down. And a quarter into the battleship's lower levels with a good trail to lead the fires down with enough to make a stylized Cipher logo right at the top, and after checking that there was a truly copious amount of oil everywhere, getting the escape vessel ready, Eddie at the wheel and pointing the Stig towards the battleship.
"Who wants the honors of lighting up the night?"

[IrnBruAddict]

Ennis takes one last drag on her cigarette.

'Maybe Calor would like to do the honors?' Ennis bows to her little Dragon-Torkoal. 'He was a pretty big help in that last fight. 'Wadda ya say little fellah? You up for it?'

Sorry for the delay, life decided it didn't like my driving

The four of you get to work. It takes no time to commandeer fueling ships, Donny unlocking access to the fuel silo. After filling up the ships, you set out coating the docks and boats in the foul smelling fuel. It was unusually thick and didn't have the trademark stench of gasoline, and slightly opaque. Initially you feared it would evaporate before you finished coating the docks, but going back to restock showed it wasn't going anywhere.

It takes you a few hours before you were finished. Eddie had just made the finishing touches on the giant battleship when Stern's skiff (captained by Ennis) pulled up alongside the boat.

Docks are soaked, any last minute things do it now.

[BluesEclipse]

Nodding at Ennis as he boards the boat, Aidan says, "By all means, feel free. Let's make it quick though - we want to get some distance from this place before anyone gets close enough to notice us leaving."
