Cass gives Hopton the finger, [color=#6666CC;]"If you pay less than 20 wouldn't do you anyway. Don't know what you'd have got from those kind of girls."[/color]
As Hayden draws his gun she aims a kick for Hoptons groin.

What do I need to roll Synik??

[Synik]

An unarmed combat roll please, Fury.

Cass = MANP +9, unarmed +3 = 12 + D10.

You have to beat: 14

[ December 23, 2008, 8:58 am ] - Synik rolled 1d10 ± 7 and obtained 7 ( 14, ). Reason : Hopton's unarmed combat.

Nice roll. That's gotta hurt.

Distracted by Hayden's firearm, Hopton dodges the wrong way and Cass's boot connects squarely. The suit doubles over, his eyes watering in pain and his dead mobile clatters to the table top. Hopton gropes for it but is too busy clutching his bruised b*lls to make a proper go of it.

Aut levels the pistol and squeezes the trigger. The nasty sneer on his face crumples into a worried look as the gun refuses to operate.

"Dear, oh dear," says Shift out loud. Aut looks around and fumbles with the useless arc pistrol. Hopton merely rests one arm on the table, too wounded to do anything coherant.

"W-who said that?" Aut stammers. "S-stop playing games! I'm armed!"

Shift's voice crackles with menace. "But not dangerous, Doctor Aut."

Throughout the exchanges Ophelia sat silent in her seat her eyes riveted to Hopton like a rabbit caught in headlights. "HE KNOWS" her thoughts screamed at her. "HE'S FOUND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE.. SOMEHOW. WHAT ARE YOU SITTING HERE FOR? HE GOT SALLY.. DO SOMETHING.. GET AWAY..." But she found she couldn't move. It was all up. She waited for Hopton to give his sidekick the order to kill, or would he prefer to do it himself.. again.. and make sure this time...?

Ophelia heard Shift's softly spoken words and her tension eased slightly. If the gun and phones were off they were as good as helpless. Her expression changed slightly from stupified amazement to something slightly more predatory and confident as the others attacked. She would get one back at Hopton at least, for herself and for what he'd had done to Sally. Pulling out the small slice whip she carried she slashed it at Hopton's face as he groped for the phone.

Sorry I couldn't work out what to roll for use of this, please advise

[Synik]

This isn't going to end well is it?

MANP +10, Melee (whips) +2 = 12 + D10

The slice whip lashes out, its monofilament lashing out towards Hopton. The man looks up, as the weighted tip speeds towards him.

Hopton raises his arm trying to block the whip, but the pain in his guts isn't helping. The whip slashes him across the cheek and scalp. He screams out in pain and clutches his face.

"Enough!" calls Shift. "Put down the gun Aut. It's not going to help you anymore."

[fury]

Cass stomps down sharply on Hoptons mobile, she knw it was blocked for now but didn't know for how long. Then turns to Aut, [color=#6666CC;]"Look, you're ugly, have the charisma of a rat and are seriously outgunned and outnumbered. Give it here ratboy."[/color] she holds out her hand to recieve the useless pistol.

[Early Bird]

Ophelia drew the whip back again, her expression a mask of hatred but hesitated as Shift said "Enough". Part of her wanted to wipe the slime of him out of existence for what he had done to her and ordered done to poor Sally and who knew how many others. She had at least spoiled his corporate good looks, although no doubt he could easily afford the necessary repair work. "We should get rid of him" she snarled. "Both of them, they're a danger they always will be".

Hayden stood still for a 8 moment, his hand tightly gripping his weapon, was he similarly 2 holding a useless hunk of metal? Or had his glock been saved from 3 the castration that the other devices had gone through? 6 He stared at the two men in front of them. "They might have answers, for that their lives should be spared," he said in 8 reply to Ophelia. "Though I do suggest we find a better place for this meeting."

[Synik]

Aut waivers for a moment - his artifical eyes wide in fear - before he lowers the pistol and puts in down on the table with a soft clunk. A light puff of smoke pops from its housing. "These fancy toys," Shift says smugly. "No staying power."

Hopton holds a hand to his face. Blood seeps slowly from under his palm and stains his shirt. In a moment, the wound has stopped bleeding but looks painfully raw. He fixes Ophelia with a murderous look but says nothing.

Aut tries bluffing, but his voice doesn't seem to be in it. "You'll not get away with this," he half-stammers.

Shift leans forward on the chair, there's a crunch of plastic as his foot catches on the remains of the previously broken mobile. "But we are. Now, my friends here have some questions. I would like you to answer them."

"***k off," says Aut. "Security'll be here in seconds. Drawing that gun - "

"Will do nothing," Shift states flatly. "As far as your famous Security are concerned, none of this happened. Two suits are enjoying a nice coffee together." His conversational tone drops like a corpse against concrete. "Now sit down and answer the questions."

Aut and Hopton slowly lower themselves to their previous seats leaving you standing over them. In a softer tone, Shift says: "We do not have all the time in the world. I have overstated our control of the situation." Hopton and Aut look on as they have not heard any of this. Shift continues: "Ask these two what you want. If I say 'run', head straight for the bridge and then to the holo-projector shop in the plaza where you first saw me."

“Well that was strange and disturbing” a tremulous voice rang out into the silence, as shock at Ophelia’s assassin like moves began to wear off a little “Erm so where do we go from here? Since now you realise that she, erm we are a forced to be reckoned with” Fidelis mind was racing at light speed so this Ophelia one isn’t a strait laced as I first thought

[color=#6666CC;]"So scumbags, what the hell is this number curse thing for? And what gives you the right to screw up ordinary peoples lives!"[/color] Cass was looking more and more angry, her lip pulled up in a sneer the vamp fangs very obvious!

[Synik]

Hopton and Aut say nothing for a time - clearly trying to tough it out. Aut folds first, his crossed arms breaking as he reaches to touch is neck. "It's a way of elminated society's undesirables," he says slowly. "In a controlled and managed manner."

"Only it isn't," Shift counters. "Is it."

Aut and Hopton look surprised. Hopton speaks in a curious tone. "I - I - That's what I understand it to be. The meme gun pushes the compulsion into the target. Either via a ranged attack on a dataplug or against any stim wiring."

Aut explains. It seems he can't help himself. "There's practically 99.99% coverage of neuralware in Magdalene. Kids have it to do their school work. Mum & Dad because 3DTV just doesn't cut it. Why watch TV when you can be there with stim?"

Shift sighs. "You really have no idea what you've done do you." The two corporates try not to look worried. Shift looks at them with cold, deadly anger.
