Alis swallows hard and nods, and slips into a good position to shoot out of the door once it's go time.

OOC: Everyone please make an init roll and add to your last post.

As Yuri begins to push the desk away from the door everyone hears the two CPM guys.

This voice is literally right in front of the door.

OOC: The door opens inward. If you stay on either the left or right side of the door you have cover

Posting/inti Order
Yuri (16)
Kala (15)
Alis (13)
CPM guys (13)

[Private to Yuri Ivanovich: I am going to consider you opening the door to be a ‘minor’ action, so you can use your major action as an attack.]

As soon as she gets a clear view of the thugs outside the door, Kala pops up and lets loose with her pepper spray.

11:47, Today: Kala Sui rolled 11 using 3d6+4 with the AGE System with rolls of {1}, 4, 2.  Pepper spray at goons.

Yurt pops a shot through the door opening at the closest corpo thug.

22:40, Today: Yuri Ivanovich rolled 10 using 3d6+5 (1 stunt point) with the AGE System with rolls of {1}, 2, 2.  Accuracy pistol

Alis follows up after Yuri and Kala shoot and spray. Taking careful aim at the CPM thug she thinks is the one in charge. Or at the least the one holding a radio.

Surprised by the triple threat of an Earther trying to spray him in the face with something, and another two Earther's shooting at him the man yells out a expiative "Que CHIMBA!" as he steps backwards and away from the door that just opened in front of him.

Minor Action: Move back away from the door
Major Action: Defense (=2 to def)

Basic stats for this guy
CPM Corp Thug boss (Rifle)
11 Def
6 Tough (2+4 Med armor)
17 fortune

The other thug seeing some sort of commotion at the doorway and his boss getting shot at moves to find cover as he fires an SMG at one of those in the door way.

Minor Action: Move to cover
Major Action: Shoot Yuri

17:25, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 13 using 3d6+2 with the AGE System.  Shoot SMG at Yuri.
13 vs 14 = miss

Basic stats for this guy
CPM Corp Thug (SMG)
11 Def
6 Tough (2+4 Med armor)
17 fortune

Kala's blast of pepper spray doesn't hit the guy at he door as he moves quickly moves backwards. The cloud of spray begins to slowly dissipate in the low gravity of Eros Station.

Yuri tries to shoot at the same guy Kala has targeted but misses as a short burst of sub-machinegun fire from the second guy passes through the door. Kala Yuri and Alis all hear the snaps of the bullets as they pass by. This is followed by someone behind them screaming.

Alis also fires on the same guy Yuri shot at. The pistol round hit the man in the center of the chest plate of his body armor. The man grunts at the impact. Being in the middle of an open area between the doors to the Pur’n Kleen Water Company office and the abandoned food kiosks of the food courts the man is out in the open...

The CPM Corp Thug with the SMG takes cover behind a food kiosk. The food kiosk's rotisserie is still spinning, cooking the body of a rather large rat.

OOC: Since the PC's all rolled better (or tied) for init vs the thugs you three can all post again.

Anybody rushing out the door during the next round will have to contend with the small cloud of pepper spray.

Alis uses the door jamb as cover, making sure she's picked the side so that the CPM goon hiding behind the kiosk can't see her, and staying back enough so the pepper cloud doesn't adversely effect her. She then takes another shot at the CPM bossman with her pistol.

Minor Action: AIM (+1)
Major Action: RANGED ATTACK

Roll of 14 {5}, 2, 3
Damage: 12 (If it lands)

OOC: Alis is taking cover on the left side of the door opening.

Kal readies her baton, but she's waiting for them all to charge. It's an up-close weapon. And the chatter of the sub-machine gun has her rattled. These guys are trying to kill them for hiding.

What the hell is going on?

No matter what it is, she knows she cannot just submit and let them lead her wherever they want her to go. She's better off taking her chances in a firefight than going like a lamb to the slaughter.

Yuri hoping to move fast enough to not get shot .. charges the bossmang .. with a flying elbow to the face .. to knock him to the ground and hopefully out of the fight.

minor action: move
major action: melee attack

11:50, Today: Yuri Ivanovich rolled 18 using 3d6+6 with the AGE System with rolls of {1}, 6, 5.  brawling flying elbow.

If that hits ..

+1d6 for striking style
+2   for strength
+1d6 if my dex is greater than his
+1   to damage for martial artist specialization

(ooc: looking at the dice roller .. don't know how to turn "off" age system for a straight up damage roll?)

In reply to Yuri Ivanovich (msg # 69):

OOC: There is a blank space above AGE in the 'style of dice' click that.

Oh, and with an 18...you definitely hit...  :)

The bossmang out in the open raises his rifle to try and get a shoot off at the man charging him (Yuri). At the same time as he fires Alis shoots at him and again hits him in the body armor. The rifle shot goes wide and Alis feels the bullet pass over her head before her ears registers the SNAP of it passing through the air.

Yuri slams his elbow into the mans head (well more technically the helmet he is wearing) and the two men fall to the ground with Yuri on top. The man Yuri hit is unmoving. Yuri finds himself behind a long concreate planter that is about a meter high and provides complete cover for Yuri unless he exposes himself.
[Private to Yuri Ivanovich: You either knocked this dude out cold or broke his neck, won't know until you take the time to check (major action next round). The man is wearing riot armor, and has a rifle attached to him with a tactical sling (major action to remove rifle next round) ]

The other CPM Corp thug fires off a burst from his SMG at those using the doorway as cover.
Alis can feel rounds hitting the other side of the wall.
Kala gets hit in the chest with the round hitting the kevlar insert protecting her left breast. The impact knocks Kala down on her back (but out of view of the shooter) and is gonna leave a decent bruise.

Whomever was screaming before in the Pur’n Kleen Water Company office has stopped, either because they've passed out, died or someone is rendering medical attraction.

10:07, Today: Darkside Trooper, for the NPC CPM Corp Thugs, rolled 13 using 3d6-1 (6 stunt points) with the AGE System with rolls of {6}, 4, 4.  shoot at doorway/Kala.
6 stunt points
2 stunt points= KNOCK PRONE (Kala)
3 stunt points= (CORE) OVERWATCH (anyone firing form doorway is -3 to attack guy w/SMG next round)

10:21, Today: Darkside Trooper, for the NPC CPM Corp Thug, rolled 6 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 4,1.  dmg to Kala.
6 is less then 11 toughness so no damage

OOC: The guy with the SMG is still behind cover (-1 to attack for Yuri, and -4 for Alis, and I guess -4 for Kala if she throws her baton at the man). He is about 20 feet away and there is a meter high planter and several kiosks between him and Yuri. He cannot see any of the players unless they expose themselves to shoot at him.

Alis looks down at Kala, and see's that she's just winded. She takes note of the pepper spray can in her hand. "Miss, follow my lead. In three second chuck that pepper spray at the kiosk the guy is hiding behind." She points the direction.

OOC: If there is a can of soda, or something more the size and shape of a grenade nearby, Alis will indicate that rather then the pepper spray can.

Then loud enough to be heard by said goon says... "Are you CRAZY! Chet..." She doesn't know the blonde beefcakes name, but, he seems like a Chet to her. "...is out there, and you're going to throw a GRENADE?!"

OOC: Her intent is to get the guy to break cover because...grenade! (And the pepper spray (or soda can) looks...grenade like, roughly cylindrical (at least according to the show props)

Gasping for air and terrified at having just been shot, Kala hears Alis tell her to throw her pepper spray canister out of the door towards the kiosk. She scrambles to her knees and does just that, though not very well as she gasps with pain at the impact of the bullet.


11:03, Today: Kala Sui rolled 11 using 3d6+4 (1 stunt point) with the AGE System with rolls of {1}, 3, 3.  Throw pepper spray canister at kiosk.

Yuri will stay low behind cover and take the rifle from the downed goon.

In reply to Kala Sui (msg # 73):

OOC: Kala will use one Stunt Point for DUCK AND WEAVE: Gain +1 to Defense per SP spent until the beginning of your next turn.

The combination of Alis shouting and Kala tossing the can of pepper spray like a grenade spooks the guy behind the kiosk from cover as he runs to another adjacent food kiosk. Alis takes a shot at the man but can’t tell if she hits him or not.

Meanwhile Yuri manages to get the rifle off the unconscious man. It’s a pretty basic no-frills rifle that fires 5.56mm and has a 30-round magazine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...File:H&K-SL8.jpg

Alis takes her shot as the goon bolts.

She then whistles to get Yuri's attention, pointing to the new kiosk the goon ran behind. She fires a few shots at it to emphasize the point. Maybe her shots will penetrate, probably not, but, hopefully it'll keep the bastards head down long enough for muscles to get an angle.

She takes a quick look at the kiosk, and if there is anything hot...and (or) liquid... that she can shoot out and cause to splatter or rain down on the goon, she'll aim for that, otherwise will just try and shoot the guy thru the kiosk.

Minor Action: AIM +1
Major Action: Ranged Attack

Roll of 14 RANGED ATTACK {3}, 1, 5.

"Is he alive or dead?" ..

Yuri takes off the corpo thug's helmet .. then fires one rifle round in his head.

"Yup, like I thought. Dead."

Kala is terrified. The universe has suddenly turned on its head. The security forces on any given station are always goons, always looking to cop a feel, solicit a bribe, just be assholes. But chasing and killing citizens is NOT part of daily life. Something has gone seriously wrong on Eros, and she has no clue why.

But for now, they need to decide what to do. Where to go. She's seen the docks getting beat up real bad on the telecast. But there is nowhere else to get off the station.

Or is there?

Leaving Yuri and Alis to mop up the last goon, she crawls back to the workstation she had been using before. Hopefully, it is still active as she searches for Emergency Evacuation Routes and/or Vehicles.

She will also check to see who was hit earlier and if they need help.

Outside the Pur’n Kleen Water Company office
The ground behind the corpo thugs head explodes outward with a splatter of brain and bone tissue. Thus, Yuri is 100% sure the thug isn’t going to cause anymore problems for well....eternity.

Alis shoots at the thug flushed from cover as he pops up to shoot at her from his new place of cover. The burst from the man’s SMG peppers the bulkhead next to the door and Alis is pretty sure she hits the guy in the vest just as his neck blows out from left to right from a shot fired at him from his left side.

[Private to Nguyen Van Loc: You just shot the guy in the neck with your pistols. Alone and having already decided you need to get back your enclave of Vietnamese Belters instead of getting inside a radiation shelter you heard the gunfire and quickly determine that a pair of CPM Corp personnel were shooting at what looks like civilians like yourself.

I have (well will be) adding the guy’s SMG to your equipment sheet. You can keep it or hand it to another character.

Oh better announce yourself coming out, it would suck if a fellow PC shoots and kills you.]

Inside the Pur’n Kleen Water Company office
Going back inside the office, Kala sees that two of her shipmates from the Salisbury two are dead, and two more are injured and receiving medical attention from the remaining four who are uninjured. Getting on the computer terminal she sees that docking bay three is still a mess with destroyed ships and there are a number of human bodies floating about in vac suits that appear to have been shot. Each body has a stream of one to several frozen blood icicles coming from them.

Checking routes to the docks or elsewhere in the station Kala notices that the transport tubes to the casino levels, and there is one casino per each of Eros’ five massive docking bays are shut down. Whichever way they go to get off station would have to be done by walking.

• Cameras showing Docking Bay One show some activity in that a slate gray warship that looks like a space going shark roughly 100 meters long is in the process of docking. The vessel is a type Kala had never seen before and didn’t look like anything Earth or Mars would build. It is most defiantly a combat vessel with breaching pods, a gap in the nose that is probably for a rail gun and has several recessed in the hull PDC mounts. At least a platoons worth of personnel (40-50 troops) wearing grayish/silver vac suits and armed with rifles can be seen disembarking.
• Cameras for Docking Bay Two reveals a trio of smaller slate gray vessels are docked in the first three berths. They are obviously cousins of the 100 meter long vessel in Docking Bay One. One vessel is clearly a shuttle without an Epstein drive. The second vessel is twice as big as the first with an Epstein drive and is clearly a gunboat/interceptor class of vessel with recessed PDC mounts and probably a pair of torpedo tubes with one or two fish each. The third ship is about the size of a Phantom Class escort which also has recessed PDC mounts and torpedo tubes with a magazine. There are about 8 people wearing grayish/silver vac suits and armed with rifles can be seen milling about the access way to the three docked ships.
• Cameras for Docking Bay Four bears witness to what amounts to another massacre, but this one is progress. A pair of sister ships to the gunboat/interceptor Kala saw in Docking Bay Two is slowly and methodically firing short streams of PDC rounds into the engines of all of the docked ships.
• Camera for Docking Bay Five shows yet another massacre. But this time there is a pair of what are clearly pirate vessels disabling the engines of the docked ships.

Although she doesn't get get a full sense of the big picture, Kala realizes somebody with a private stealth ship Navy along with space pirates supporting them doesn't want anybody to get off Eros. Station security in the form of CPM Corporation is probably in on the whole thing as well.

OOC: I did not hide the information Kala sees from everyone else as it makes sense for her to show or tell everyone else about what she has seen on camera.

Alis looks to see where the shot came from that killed the SMG goon, looking for either their helper, or new threat, while at the same time covering Yuri.
