Mass Effect PbP: -ALWAYS- RECRUITING!

[Ninja D!]

I think that the most obvious conclusion, barring any witness testimony, is that one on the mercs went batshit insane. That insanity caused her to start throwing stuff around with her biotic abilities and to open fire on pretty much anything that moved. Everything else could pretty much be explained by damages done while the otheres defended themselves. The life of a merc is probably pretty stressful so it makes some sense.

Then, of couse, a witness will tell a story about the ugly but tough asari secretary, the quarian, the human businessman, and their friend, the articulate vorcha. Then they'll think insanity is contagious.

Where the heck did Musical Human i.e. the Trigun fanboy go???  Did anyone see him leave or did he just disappear after leaving the storage area?

[LD]

Mr. Stampede appears to have gone exactly where you strongly insisted Lini to go.

The human then continues out into the hallway and into T'Kin's office.

No wonder she thinks you're mad :D.

[Elemental_Elf]

Light Dragon has it right. Stampede and the 3 Stooge.. err Volus, walked into T'Kin's office and closed the door behind them.

[LD]

It looks like unless there's a secret exit in T'kin's office, Archimedes might have to knock and let Stampede know that he's done in the supply room and if they can please trade looting places. :D because Lini's opinion on the whole matter is: "Enter T'Kin's office? You mean the one Musical Human entered? Has it changed from serving death and dissonance, to serving cookies and concert or friendliness and fanfare? If not, then F--- that."

Anyways she's going to have her hands full with getting shot in the back in a little bit. :D

[Steerpike]

Wow, somehow I missed that!

So, we should probably all get together and storm the room...?  If we set up combat drones and maybe lob some grenades in there (looted from the other eclipse... just speculating) and then fire at him with everything we've got, we should stand a good chance, unless he's ridiculously high level or something.

EDIT: I guess Archimedes wouldn't know that he was in T'Kin's office, given his vantage at the time, so it doesn't seem totally weird for him to suggest that Lini investigate.

[LD]

Hm. As a player I don't think that's necessary--I said "trading places" sarcastically, but I think it's potentially a valid solution--Stampede wants the drugs, we don't care about them

Lini's opposed to fighting anyway.

But whatever happens, happens. If the Vorcha's bloodthirst gets the best of him ... Then I suppose that is to be expected :D.

[CoyoteCamouflage]

Kai really has no idea what is happening-- he was in the office for most of it, so he's unaware that there is even a human combatant present.

He will go check out the break room, though (For all the good that it'll do. He's not exactly a fighter-type).

[LD]

And he'll probably find a frightened Salarian janitor in there... only that and nothing more :D

[Steerpike]

[blockquote=Coyote Camouflage]He's not exactly a fighter-type[/blockquote]
Neither is Archimedes but he's somehow killed two combatants!

[Elemental_Elf]

So what is the plan?

[LD]

I think Kai is checking out the break room and Archimedes is examining the storage room.

Lini's just standing around ready to get shot in the back until someone starts investigating one of the other rooms; she will start hacking when she gets a chance, but apparently no terminals are active till we can get into that one room.

I can do a mini response to the e-card receipt, but now is not the time for Lini to pay it much mind... too much danger.

And Sal was looking at something on the ground?

[Elemental_Elf]

Well CC stated he wanted to explore the Break room in this thread, which I why I have been tentative to post what's really in there.

I've already written a response to Archimedes' exploration and I have no clue what Ninja is planning.

[CoyoteCamouflage]

So, really random and potentially pointless question, but I feel its something Kai would at least make an attempt to know. Or be uncomfortable with not knowing.

Does this area of Illium have a record of how swiftly the police/security forces average in responding to an alarm/disturbance? Knowing it would certainly make him push hard and quick to get things done (Since the battle didn't take more than a minute, if even that). Not knowing it would make him a little more panicky and frantic.

Felt I should ask nonetheless.

And, just because it's the best I got, let's go with a Bureaucracy check for that kind of random knowledge :D

You know that this area is one of the ritzier areas of town, so the Police most definitely will arrive quickly, in perhaps less than 5 minutes. However, that quick of a response time would only occur if the police were desperately needed (such as at a shootout). A normal "public disturbance" or fire would take ten to thirty minutes. So the real question is - did anyone alert the police to the big battle?

By my reckoning it has been less than a minute since the end of the combat.
