OOC: Why does everyone roll so well against me? 6 hits on 14 dice? 4 hits on 9 dice? Ridiculous!

Ciel

As she breaks through, Ciel sees the new group, ready to fight. Wondering how they found her so fast, but chalking it up to a simple cosmic strand of fate, Ciel chuckled.

"I want to hear you scream!" She looks at the fast one, obviously the superior of the three she was facing. "A loser is still a loser. Don't you realize who it is you're dealing with?!"

He was a knight in shining armor, so she merely laughed at their unoriginal avatars. She dances between his sword strikes, knocking them aside as if he were brandishing a mere twig at her. "Striking a lady! How unchivilrous!" Her grin turned back into that sadistic grin. Flicking back her fluttering jacket, she flexed her fingers and grabbed the knight's arm, trying to tear it from his body.

Gres

Once the discussion about where and when of the meeting ended, he went to work on the data Ciel had found. He overlayed his old blueprints of the Asylum with what Ciel downloaded... Looking for differences that wiould imply new construction.

Then he uses it to fill in the blank spots on Ciel info... (mainly 4th floor)

Ready to try filling in even more gaps he jumps into his drone currently watching the building. Keeping a good distance Gres zooms in on every window on the fourth floor that they know nothing about. The drones vision magnification and enhancements covering the great distance between them.

Hopefully he could find the target... Or at the very least get a good feel for what was on the floor.

[Suzuro]

Cete never much cared for vehicles, he would usually just walk wherever he was going, and, as such, he began walken (haha!) towards the 'Maiden,' getting directions from his comm. He seemed to send nervous glances around everytime he would have to use his commlink, however...

((Gah...I feel useless right now...))

Ciel's attack caught the main knight accross the chest. The knight drops back and raises his sheild. in defense as his sidekicks continue on the attack.

Ciel

"Aw...whatsamatter? Afraid of girls?" Ciel's avatar stuck her tongue out at the human cowering behind his shield as she stepped to one side to let the first program's sword land on the ground behind her, then bent backwards, letting the second slice over her in perfect John Woo fashion.

"Ah, whatever, you're so boring anyway! You need to practice for one thousand years before you can equal me!" Ciel rested her foot on the virtual sword and jumped upwards, over the knights, before the rockets in her shoes erupted again, propelling her toward the shifty types keeping the files away from here.

"Get out..of...my way!" Ciel shoves her hands directly into the files, trying to refine her browse from a couple dozen to the one exact file she needed.

With a grunt Gres flips over to thermographic vision. Lets see how well insulated this floor is Maybe he will get lucky and someone will be near the wall. While that was happening he compared the one glimpse he saw with the old blueprints he had pulled up.

The blocked out windows are very well insulated. The one that you got a crack through allows you to see 8 people in the caged area. and comparing what you can see to the old blueprints you can see that they had to have knocked down at least 1 wall.

Gres ponders this new development while he picks up the various supplies he had ordered the night before. (new commlink, software, Emotitoy, medikit, and trauma patch) With the new commlink in place and a closest he could get to a little chibi clockwork robot emotitoy, he talks to his mechanic about better tires for Rolling Thunder, only to find that they are currently out of stock of what he wanted.

After a mid afternoon nap Gres has a new plan.

Once darkness falls Gres will send out the other SkyHigh surveillance drone, only it will carry a SeeNo. Once at the asylum the two will shut off their wireless and drop down to the roof. The SeeNo deploys into the building and finds away in. (Either through an open window or airvent) Assuming it finds a way in to the fourth floor it will take video of the inside (structure and people) and then get back out. Once back on the roof (either through failure or success) the SkyHigh will drop down and pick it up, carrying it to a safe broadcast distance. If at anytime the SeeNo comes under attack it will burst transmit what if finds.

OOC: The SkyHigh are Lockheed Optic drones (small, VTOL capable) and the SeeNo is a Shaiwase Kanmushi (mirco, with geeko tips)

[Sicarius]

Ciel

Holding up the data in her hands and grinning like a child who found a dollar, Ciel turned her attention towards the charging knight. "Now that I have what I want, let's have a little fun." The first knight stepped forward and swung his sword clumsily at her. Instead of just playing as she usually did, now it was full-on humiliation time. Touching the sword with a single finger, she spun the knight around, giggling. The second sword was a little bit better in it's arc, but she still managed to perform a somersault backward, but it had still managed to tag her, drawing a red line of virtual blood. Infuriated that now it had become serious, Ciel looked...angry.

On the offensive, Ciel's face darkened into a storm of code. "Suffer. Suffer in agony you...mindless drone! I'll take you apart line by line." She attacks the offender screaming with the absolute bloody thrill of the slaughter, cackling manically almost like a witch.

As the communication ended Aki sat back for a minuet, simply relaxing, savouring the moment before he had

He begins to draw an outline with the pole, in the dirt. Afterwards, he gets a small piece of chalk and draws upon it

A pentagram

All the while, he is focusing. His mind is barely there atall. He focused upon the sun, upon it's warmth, upon it's strength, just as he was taought

In this way, the spirits will be placated, to know that I think of them.

And slowly something began to respond.

He doesn't need words. All he needs is that image and his own will, and mental force. That will suffice. Hell, he could do it without the pentagram, but always liked it

"Hahaha! Isn't this fun?!" Ciel laughed manically dancing through the lethal firewall-breaching attacks and causing her hands to glow again. "Now disappear!" She declares to the troublesome agent. She wished it was the non-fighting types. Introducing segfaults was fun to programs who didn't understand it. Unfortuantely, agents were made for cybercombat were boring. Not smart enough to be people, yet not interesting enough to make dance.

Alviss

Alviss' eyes opened at the tone from his Commlink. He let the low beep continue for a moment, then dragged his goggles up onto his face and keyed the alarm off. The bottom left corner of his display read 9:40. He nodded. The video feed from his rifle upstairs reopened on the other side of the display, and he examined it quickly, looking for any differences from the last time he'd seen it.

(If there are none:)
He reached for his pack and removed the Trodes band and re-plugged it to his Commlink, then slipped the ring over his temples and searched for Matrix nodes in the area. One he found one, he started a search for the Iron Maiden and its IP number. Once he found it, he accessed its node, and the brooding, red-eyed avatar materialized darkly in the Matrix overlay of the club.

Spoiler

A few questions regarding attending by Matrix;

From what I understand, in most bars that are popular enough to justify the expense, the Matrix node of a bar is usually a digital re-representation of the bar itself. Wherever I stand that's where other people in the bar see me on AR overlays?

Does this bar have public cameras for Matrix users so that I see other people as the same kind of intangible 'overlay' that they see me as? Or is it related to their commlinks' PANs getting picked up by the node and telling me where in the physical bar they are standing?

I hear them when their Commlinks are transmitting directly to my Commlink, correct? So they won't see or hear me until I send a conversation 'invite' to their Commlinks (which would probably be accepted automatically because I am on their contact lists)?

Since I am using Cold Sim instead of Augmented Reality, can I access multiple nodes and multitask multiple conversations/tasks simultaneously without having to 'leave' one to go check on the other?

Shadowbaby

Aki's will and mental force stood firm, forming a wall that the spirit's will broke against.

He winced slightly at the poor thing's pain, he always did, but smiled as it came into being. The thing took the form of a black haired angel, with pure white wings, a dark brown robe and with a large steel sword in hand.

A pleasant meeting, my friend. I wish for you and I to serve in battle, should it happen. If not this service will be transitory. My apologies

May I ask your name?

First, I would ask you to follow me, and protect me from any who seek to do me harm, on the physical or Astral. Is that acceptable?

Cete's long walk finally carried him to his destination, the "Maiden" as it had been called. A nice place. Especially if you were into the whole 'astral' scene. Other than the large amount of magic-users (assuming from their appearance, of course) He might even like the place, but he was here for business.

He walked into the place and began looking around for his colleagues.
