She seems cautious , but friendly. She does not seem to be hostile in anyway.
She looks up in your direction. (You wonder how she can see you at all).
"You looking for some place or someone,honey?" She cocks her head. "Do you always go invisible when you walk outdoors?" she ask still smiling.

(I need you to roll a D20. Target # is a 12 or above)

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 177):

Atharryn takes 4 points of Might Damage. She has no Armor, so that takes her down to 4/8 Might. No worries.
Chance Roll for TN 9: 9 Barely made it.

Drywall incinerates and concrete pops and explodes around her as Atharryn makes her jump, but she manages to get out without too much mishap. She leaps as far as she can, and barely misses smacking into a wall when she lands.
The lightly toasted Nano collapses on her hands and knees, wheezing out of burned lungs, crying sooty tears, and laughing maniacally. It's all she can do to keep from passing out from sheer terror and relief.

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 178):

The heat and pressure from the explosion are staggering, and they completely envelope and disintegrate the wall behind which Gaiu is standing. For a second, he's afraid the shield is going to fail and he's going to be sans skin for the foreseeable future, but the crystalline light of the force field never wavers, even under the fury of the hellstorm.
After several seconds, the fuel of the explosion is spent. The force field winks twice and then vanishes. Gaiu stands alone in a field of blasted ash.

"Damn. Guess that means I owe Modelli a new bike."

Zu runs up beside Atharryn only a few seconds after she arrives, and none the worse for wear. He staggers to a stop, bends over, wheezing, and then falls over backward. His laughter mixes with Atharryn's to make an eerie kind of harmony, an unsteady, unhinged tribute to life. They just stay there for more than a minute, catching their breath and enjoying the sweet, smog-scented air.

Modelli walks over to the trio. The gush of wind , flapping his clothes around. Soot, bruised ,and dirt covered, the expensive flapping clothes make him look more like a ruins wraith then a man.

He looks his friends over and hands out disposable gel trauma packs. (They will heal 3 pts automatically , roll a D4 and add that total to the original 4 pts)
"Anyone seen Umbra?" ask Modelii pouring water from his canteen on his face and head, trying to remove the ,blood and dirt.


He walks over to a dead ganger and picks up an item and lifts the gangers bike upright. "Some of these might still work." he says, flipping switches on the bikes comp. "I don't think we should be left on foot in one of the cities' dead zones."

In the distance the bot's voice can be heard getting closer. "Halt! Violation od law code: 7156 of the city ordinance 12! #@%*** bbbzzzzz! Eat more chicken! Halt!"
It's top half, barely being held together, burst/falls and then rolls down a steep incline of rubble. "Halt!" It levels its plasma thrower

Recovery Rolls (1d4+3) are as follows:
  1. Zu: 6 to Speed. Speed @ 9/12.
  2. Atharryn: 4 to Might. Might @ 8/8.
  3. Gaiu: 6 to Might. Might @ 9/18.

Zu and Atharryn accept the gel pods gratefully, and Gaiu saunters up behind Modelli and takes one for himself. Unconsciously, all three of them start scanning the area for more dangers or hostiles.
Time to get back to work.

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 187):

Rolls as follows:
  1. Gaiu - Depletion 1:20: 11, Speed (Climbing & Jumping): 17.
  2. Zu - Speed (Climbing & Jumping): 16.
  3. Atharryn - Speed (Driving): 5 failed. (Nothing fancy, but we'll hope it's not bad enough to get her smoked.)

Gaiu draws his arcblade in one hand and a stout knife in the other and runs at the robot, leaping high into the air. He grabs its leg and plunges the knife into a battered seam in one of the old, armored plates in order to make a handhold. The seeker starts to climb the thing, holding on with his legs while he finds another seam for the dagger, then pulling himself up in order to find a good vantage point to cut it in half. All the while, lightning plays hungrily across the surface and edge of the sword in his other hand.

Zu rubs his hands together and takes one deep breath before he dashes, bent over in a reckless charge, at the huge 'bot. He bounds onto its foot and executes three long strides up its shin, vaults over to its left calf, spins around that and grabs hold of the sentinel's right knee. Gaiu looks down at him and grunts,
"Hmph. Showoff."

Seeing the others charge the beast head-on, Atharryn decides to do something to divert its attention. She stands up a light street bike one of the gangers "left behind" and hops on, then peels out for a close drive-by on the sentry bot's right side.
"Hey! You still want some of this?" she yells.

"Oh that?", she says, looking directly into your eyes. " Its part of my gift, I'm a mutant in case you hadn't noticed." "Its one of my gifts. Although I can also see ultra high invisable light too, and it gives me a headache." "My name is Tessa, my friend s call me Tess." I know where the Omar are, at least some of them. Their cyborgs and have this strange hive mind thing to them. Three of them are down the alley between the giant auto ventor shop and the TRIvids over there," she says pointing. "I dont like that place and I avoid it. They have a weird feel to them. If you'd rather see one of their agents in a better place then an alley. There is Big Ben. He is the go between the Omar and he is currently at the Roulette wheel at the Jade Frog."

She points at a gambling den. One that has a giant holo of a massive green frog at the entrance.

In reply to Tarkahnta Modelii Akata (msg # 192):

Rolls as follows:
  1. Zu - Speed (Jumping) @ D3: 12 success. Speed (Attack) @ D4: 13 success.
  2. Gaiu - Speed (Attack) @ D4: 13 success.
  3. Atharryn - Speed (Driving) @ D3: 7 failed.

Gaiu looks down at Zu for a moment before he searches for the next seam for his dagger. "Hey, grasshopper! You hit him high and I'll hit him low. We'll send this bucket of scrap packing."
Zu nods and cranes his neck to see how the 'bot is situated. It's turned toward Atharryn on its right side now, and since its upper body is leaning heavily after the damage from before, that gives Zu a perfect ramp to climb up its back.
He swings his legs out and flips from his vantage point on its knee up to the small of its back, where he grabs onto jagged rends in the metal and a heavy, loose wire exposed from the gaping hole in its body. Rather than climbing, he hoists himself lightly onto his feet and sprints up the slope of the behemoth's back to its shoulder, vaulting high into the air to drive his foot down on the crown of its head. The force of the blow folds the robot over at its ruined waist.
As soon as Zu's blow lands, Gaiu heaves himself into a mighty leap with his arm and his legs, leaving his dagger wedged in a newly-smoking hole in the sentinel's leg plating. Gaiu grabs his arc blade two-handed and raises it over his head. His trajectory carries him up alongside the sentry bot as it bends over, and he cleaves his blade into the thing's wounded midriff, trying to chop it in two with sheer strength and will while his sword tries to fry its insides with angry bolts of purple lightning.
Down on the ground, Atharryn growls when the bike she's riding jerks to the side without warning and nearly upsets her. She just manages to recover.

"I miss your bikes, Modelli. This thing is a piece of junk!"

" The Omar, are weapons dealers," she says. "Dream street is the only place in the city for miles they can sell their wares. Almost everything is for sale on dream street.  Even so one of their deals went bad a few days ago. They badges and their buyers shot up my store front." She points to a store with broken glass and police line tape across it. A little shop with a strong Asian flavor in style and design. "Maybe they will move once you speak with them?"

Modelii nods grimly gritting his teeth. Black smoke coming from the sputtering engine of his own bike. "We can get better over at our destination. however I doubt they will take us that far!"
"Lets head over to Dream Street. There is a land vehicle dealer there I can buy better from."

"OR...MAYBE I SHOULD BITE YOU AND YOUR 3 TITS AND BE DONE WITH IT." DOKAHLIS SAYS SNICKERING BEHIND HIS FANGS, KNOWING DAMN GOOD AND WELL WHAT HE WILL DO NEXT. HE MUST VENTURE TO FIND THE REST OF THE PARTY AND TELL THEM OF WHAT INTELL HE HAS LEARNED FOR, HE KNOWS THAT IF HE WERE TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE FURTHER PROGRESS ON HIS OWN, BEING THAT THE OMAR ARE AMS DEALERS, HE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY FIND HIMSELF AMBUSHED AND MORE THAN LIKELY PARISH.

Atharryn and Gaiu both nod and turn to follow, but Zu stands between the shattered halves of the sentry bot and cocks his head to the side.
"Give me a few minutes. I used up all my cyphers in that fight. I want to see if the 'bot has any useful salvage inside it."
With that, he gets down on his hands and knees, takes a glow stick from his vest and breaks it, then climbs halfway into the robot's torso and starts digging through wires and electrical parts.

The girl in red half chuckles, half snickers. " I don't know  sweetie, stuff like that cost money,and their quite the mouth full", she says flashing her breast at you, pulling the small top up. She continues to flirt with her eyes but quickly covers herself back up and zips her clear and red rain jacket up, "but I'm not working", she says.

She looks down grabs her mini comm and looks at it. She furrows her eye brows a bit, "Well, well,well,......small world. I'm heading down to the Cobalt Room. Its a nice place , has good food and service, and is dry. No live bands tonight however. Want to come?" She says walking away. The lighting,hazy rain,mist and neon signs making a dense collage of light,darkness and texture. "I'm Tessa by the way." She says looking back , then she turns and walks further down the street.

You find 3 Cyphers.

In reply to Dokahlis (msg # 201):

The two of you walk down the street deeper into Dream Street. The air becomes thick and heavy as the crowds increase on the streets. like rain neon ghost the crowd walks by, throngs of people and motor vehicles , as well as some air traffic give the landscape a claustrophobic  feeling. Finally what seems like a hours long walk. Tessa stops in front of a brightly lit establishment. Its neon and holo projectors proudly displaying and proclaiming the words THE COBALT CLUB in bold azure colors. Standing in the main doorway is a large mutant male. Dressed in the height of what is currently high fashion in the 9 kingdoms of the steadfast, he is letting some people in and denying others. All the while his shirt and suit bulging and straining to not burst from his over sized muscles. Tessa walks up to him and says in a sing song voice." Jarred, I have a client and I and my, (she pauses a moment to consider her words), my valet need to get in,..for the meet" Jarred the large mutant looks over at Tessa then at Dokahlis his huge droopy snout almost sniffing in their direction and certainly sucking in lungfuls of air.

" No, vida Samba dom badda", he grunts out , Vachonu dim gobba." He then crosses his arms and stares down hard at Tessa. " Vengio ta promi seke. Goma doni ceta". says Tessa not backing down. She reaches in her belt to a small pouch and pulls out a small crystal. Jarred eyes go wide momentarily and his huge hands gingerly pluck the crystal from her hands. "I am sure that will feed your kids for a couple of weeks. Now,.....can we go in?" Jarred nods and shifts his bulk allowing Tessa and Dokahlis entrance. Tessa smiles winningly at him and walks in. They then come to a narrow lobby/ holding area. On one side there is a caged and manned check in desk and clerk. The being standing their is a female Narcosi she is dressed in a one piece leather jumpsuit that is a tight as skin and looks as it was painted onto her. She hands Dokahlis a pair of slightly tinted glasses and a small metal disc. "Clip that to you belt and press the center red button in the center once." she says. Tjis will protect you from the U.V. rays in the clubs main area."
