As Screed is talking, the masked men are infiltrating the server room military style, with one covering the others.  The last one in moves with less militaristic smoothness.  He aims a rifle in Screed's direction while the others have their rifles aimed at Da Vinci.

Dracos and Codec peek into the hallway, seeing the strange figures enter the room from the hall.

OOC:  Your headsets are still turned on, so you can all hear each other.

Whispers to Dracos, "I do believe that that is the room where are teammates are.

PM

"Now we shoot...Shadow, Screed, we're coming. Once we start shooting they should face us, which will give you time to shoot at them from the side as well."

Dracos moves to lean against one side of the door frame, motioning for Codec to do the same. When Codec's set, Dracos will push in the door and turn in and start shooting.

The figures have just entered the door so are no longer visible from the entry where Codec and Dracos stand.  You'd have to move up closer into the hallway itself for that.

Screed is greatly relieved to hear others on the radio.  He says quickly into the radio, "Go now, Now, NOW!"  He ducks further back behind the servers, "Didn't you hear me, man in black, I'm going to start blasting!"

Dracos jogs towards the entrance and holds his place right before the door, rolling across the doorway and shooting the closest humanoid figure to the door.

The man in black shoots, but he is not aiming at Screed.  Instead, he is aiming at the black server next to Screed.  The server is hit with a bluish almost invisible burst, and then it melts and explodes.

The man in black reaches up and takes off his mask.

Dracos is right at the entrance.

Behind the mask is Jaguar.  "It's me," he says.  "You did it!  Now we can take Da Vinci into custody."  He smiles, not looking quite so dorky without the jaguar costume this time.

The other men rush forward to take Da Vinci from Shadow's custody.

Screed lifts both pistols pointing them at the head of Jaguar and says into the radio, "Hold" and then to Jaguar, "No offense, but prove it."  His mind is whirling but the actions have been strange all the way around.  He just wants to be sure.  Da Vinci was obviously expecting someone else.

First round of aiming.
The black server was the one we wanted to destroy, right?

Yes, the black server was the one Da Vinci indicated as having the genetics research.

Jaguar scowls.  "Prove it?  How?"  He notices Dracos behind him now.

The masked man next to Jaguar quickly lifts a small device that is beeping.  "Two Agents," he says quickly.  "Approaching due south."



Codec is still at the end of the hallway at the emergency exit entrance.  To his right, the regular elevators beep and begin to open.

Screed says back to him, "Simple, we've delivered Da Vinci.  Now give us what you promised in return."

Continues aiming.

[runs into room w/ servers, gun is drawn and shield is up]
"Alright then, how do we know you are Jag? I mean, if he can shapeshift, who knows who else can? And whats w/ all the camo garbage. Cuz if we know you than why do you fear hiding your face?"

"Heres a test then. What was the pass word required to enter this building? What room were we supposed to spy on? And what were the 2 creatures names that we were supposed to kill?"

Codec successfully makes it into the room.

Jaguar tosses a diskette to Screed.  "This is the data and the uploads for Zion.  You can upload them to your ship using that green server over there.  Use the keyword 'Archimedes' and link to 'Nautilus2000.'  You successfully destroyed Vlad and Jack.  I need you to give me the sound recording you got of their meeting."

"And the remote control," one of the masked men says.  "Give it to us now unless you want Agents to show you the true meaning of pain."  He extends a hand.

"The word was 'omniscient eye,'" Jaguar continues, "and you were to spy on room 1020."

"Now," the masked man demands with an anxious look over his shoulder towards the hallway door.

Another masked man says to Dracos, "Get in if you want to live."

As he says this, the two agents appear at the far end of the hallway.  One lifts a hand to his ear, listening to his earset.  The other is lifting his pistol and beginning to run towards the door.

OOC: Get in what???

Screed drops the guns immediately with a smile.  He hands the device to Shadow, "Handle that with them so we can get out of here."  He moves to the green server and starts performing as told to upload the information.  He waits to hand over the recording until this is taken care of.

OOC: Get in the room

"So how do we expect to get out of here? I mean, mission accomplished woot, yay, etc, but now what?"

Jaguar says quickly, "Now we get you back to your ship."  He looks anxiously out at the approaching Agents.  "If we can."

Screed pretty much ignores what is going on for the moment until what he is doing is taken care of.

Shadow holds the device in his hand and looks up at Jaguar,

"I thought you said not to use our names here..."

Shadow eyes Jaguar closely looking for any meaning in his face.

"We were told to retrieve the device, and we have.  Why should we give it to you?"

Shadow's hand grips both his pistol and the device.

"And how did you even get in here?"

"Dracos, please get in here and shut the door before the agents BLOW US TO PIECES. Thanx."

Screed whispers into the radio, "It wasn't Jaguar that changed shape.  It wasn't Jaguar who told us to not use our names.  That was our original contact.  We have two choices, trust our original plan, contacts, home, or not."  He keeps working at uploading the information as he continues.  "Someone needs to work the device, so it's either Jaguar or Da Vinci because I don't know how to do it."  He extends his sixth sense as he searches those in the room and the approaching people.  "Hold the device while he punches the buttons.  Let's get out of here."

how long until the download?

Dracos slowly walks into the room, not trusting the man who calsl himself Jaguar, but not wanting to fight these "Agents." God knows wwhat they could do in the Matrix.

"So, why aren't we shooting holes in the rest of the servers?"

"Hmm, guess you're right boss, I really should start taking notes."

Shadow tosses the device to Jaguar.

"Now lets go before things get messy."

OOC:  As Screed notes, it was Jinx, your fellow Zion contact, who changed shapes and told you not to use your names.  Jaguar was the nervous Awakened subject that you were to help so that he could join their exile group.  Apparently, they let him in...although they are not revealing their faces to you.

Shuts door to hallway and locks it.
