[ooc]So... What cargo are we carrying that's at issue? I thought we handed over the T'kin ship designs to our leader? Why are we carrying it still? From what I count, our weapons are in the cargo-hold (except 1 holdout), other than that we don't have much to worry from geth in the cargohold (other than the obvious concerns)[/ooc]

Kai is assuming it has to do with the Thorstad plans. If anything, Kai would have copied the plans to send to our boss, and even when he gave the chip to Archimedes, he asked for it back when Archimedes was done. We might have sent the plans to the Drell, but Kai does not plan on relinquishing the data chip itself, so he ought to still have it, unless someone has a bloody good way of convincing him that he shouldn't keep it on hand.

Also, EE, what about the weapons we took from the apartments? As mentioned Kai would try to sell the spares. Would he have been able to succeed on that in Illium or would have needed to smuggle them aboard on the Citadel? In particular, to whatever dealer it was that the T'Parn secretary mentioned by name. I just didn't know if they were on Illium or the Citadel.[/occ]

[Elemental_Elf]

[ooc=to Kai]You could have succeeded on Illium but it would have been a black market deal. The merchant on the Citadel is also black market but he is inclined to give you a better deal. [/ooc]

[Elemental_Elf]

[spoiler=to Lini][ooc]You spot a small fly-like machine buzzing around. As you look at it more closely, you think it might be Geth-made. [/ooc][/spoiler]

[LD]

[ooc]As an aside... does security exist on these things... not only do we have pistols, the Krogan has one too?

[/ooc]

[ic]Lini gets on her comm and radios to the others. "Geth took out the engines. Can't get away from them." She looks at her pistol and laments that she didn't take her ion cannon. "Let's meet in the aisle." Then she sees the fly. She screams, "EEEEE! Geth!" and blasts the fly out of the sky.[/ic]

[ooc][blockquote]Rolled 1d20+4 : 9 + 4, total 13[/blockquote] Also note that I have these feats: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot. I am unsure how they affect the situation.[/ooc]

[Elemental_Elf]

[ooc]Point Blank gives you a +1 to hit if the enemy is within the weapon's short range... Basically you always get it unless you're shooting someone fairly far away.

Lini's shot strikes the fly and utterly destroys it. The bullet then continues on and puts a sizable dent in the ceiling. Some of the Asari sitting near Lini scream in horror when the gun is fired.

[LD]

[ic]Lini stared at the charge's remnant in the shuttle's ceiling, then she spoke into her OmniTool for her allies' benefit. "They have drones. Fly drones."[/ic]

[Elemental_Elf]

[ic]The doors to the rear lavatories burst open and two Geth soldiers walk out. They take up positions on each side of the hallway and lob two grenades into the crowd of seated passengers.
[/ic]

[ooc]
The two grenades explode in a large burst of lightning. Everyone in seats A, B and C in rows 22, 23 and 24 are knocked unconscious.

[ic]One Geth takes aim near where Archimedes is seated, launching another electrical grenade, while the other Geth lays down covering fire.

Rolled 1d20+4 : 10 + 4, total 14
damage roll: This dice roll has been tampered with!
Rolled 2d8 : 6, 1, total 7

Note Archimedes gets a +2 bonus to his Ref defense because of the seats. However it is an area attack, so he still takes 1/2 damage on a miss. [/ooc]

[ic]For round 1, Lini will shoot the nearest Geth; on Round two if she hasn't been shot at, she'll keep shooting- if she's been shot at, she'll cover and summon her combat drone.[/ic]

[ooc][blockquote]Rolled 1d20+5 : 11 + 5, total 16[/blockquote] to shoot and damage: [blockquote]Rolled 3d4 : 2, 2, 2, total 6[/blockquote]

[Ninja D!]

[ic]Sal was just getting the asari beside her to loosen up and start talking when the geth showed up and everything went south. Damn my luck. For a moment she found herself hoping that no one had seen her board with the human, then decided that it didn't matter. She couldn't just ignore the trouble brewing because she didn't want to continue the mission without a support team -- even if that team was an improper bunch of misfits.[/ic][ooc]I'm sure there is more that could have been done here but I missed the chance. Anyway, on I go...[/ooc][ic]As soon as Sal hears the geth in the back, she gets to her feet. "Sorry, babe, gotta clock in," she says, stepping past the asari and drawing her pistol.

She head toward the back of the ship, not sure exactly what to expect.[/ic][ooc]I'm going to assume I can't make it all the way back to the geth in one turn. I'll have Sal go as far as she can.[/ooc]

[Elemental_Elf]

[ooc]I beleive if you run, you get to move 3x your speed. So the best you could do would be to get to aisle 24.

[Elemental_Elf]

[ooc]Ooops, sorry I forgot to respond to Lini's post.

A 16 is a miss.  but your drone is now active.

[Steerpike]

[ooc]Two questions:

1) Do we have our shields?

2) Am I within 6 squares of the geth, or could I get within 6 squares of them this round?[/ooc]

[Elemental_Elf]

[ooc] You do have shields.

You are 10 squares away from the Geth.
