The group begins to move through the maze of maze of Slot machines, Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, and Craps tables Alis puts a burst from her SMG into a sick/infected person, while Yuri blows another one’s head off with his shot gun as the two take the lead.

Van and Kala follow behind with the stretcher behind them. The the Pur’n Kleen employee armed with the auto rifle fires a few shots to the left where there is a group of 6 sick/infected.

To the right of the group there are 3 infected/sick persons, and to the direct front there are five more.

The people are not moving fast, and thus the only ones the group really has to worry about (if they keep moving) are the ones in the path ahead. One person is only 2 meters from Alis and Yuri, but there is a square gambling table between them. The next two closest people are 6 & 8 meters away, with the last two being 10 and 12 meters away.

OOC: No one has a direct line of sight with the pachinko parlor Van has been talking about.

Also, if you do decide to shoot someone/something please describe which one you are shooting at (i.e. the one x meters away) and include a damage roll and if you have stunt points use them.

In regards to movement, you can move a number of meters equal to your speed per 'turn'. The people with the stretcher are only going to be moving 5 meters per 'turn'

Kala looks around for a light chair or stool she can pick up and use to push away any of the approaching residents oozing with goo. She won't go out of her way to find anything, nor will she step towards anyone to precipitate an encounter, but if someone stumbles right at her she will use the object to shove them away. And then throw it away.

She's terrified of getting the goo on her.

Alis looks for a food cart or dolly that might be left behind, something they can use to move the stretcher faster. She is also of course listening into the radio chatter for anything interesting.

"Loc, get 'Tink' out willya and find that parlor, I can't see where to go in this shitty maze." She calls out to him.

She isn't keen on that sick shambler being that close, table or no, and fires at the hapless victim.

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 182):

Traveling as best he could, Van nodded and sent the drone off again to scout the route.

He replied to Alis, "are heading in right direction. Wait one." He checked. "Looks good. Be advised not just CPM holding door to docking bay. Are also some mercenaries with advanced combat armour and heavier weapons. They are still not through."

Yuri fires his shotgun at the infected 10m away.

16:04, Today: Yuri Ivanovich rolled 22 using 3d6+5 (6 stunt points) with the AGE System with rolls of {6}, 5, 6.  shotgun - accuracy + focus.

16:08, Today: Yuri Ivanovich rolled 7 using 2d6+1 with rolls of 2,4.  shotgun damage buckshot.

The sound of gunfire fills the air as some members fire upon the sick/infected persons who are approaching. Those shooting hold their ground, while the stretcher bearers catch up.

Kala finds a bar stool that is perfect for putting between herself and any of the infected.
[Private to Kala Sui: If you are holding the bar stool and trying to shoot you will be firing one-handed and will have a -1 to attack. It will only cost a minor action to drop the bar stool and fire two handed (as is normal with a semi-auto handgun).]

Alis, spots a large cart 2 meters to the left that appears to be a small mobile bar. A few glasses are on top of it and the side door is open revealing several bottle of booze. At the same tiem she puts a few rounds into the sick/infected person 2 meters away from her and on the other side of a gambling table.

The Pur n Kleen employee with the auto rifle puts down the sick/infected person who is 12 meters away.

The woman whose arm is in a sling hits the sick/infected sex worker in the shoulder, causing the woman top to partially fall off revealing a large D-cup left breast. What’s horrifying is that the woman’s nipple seems to have series of blueish glowing crystals protruding from it. Despite being shot, the woman manages to move forward and around several of the obstacle between her and Alis and is now about 2 meters beyond the mobile bar cart.

Yuri puts a round of buckshot into the infected that is 10 meters away. The infected person’s head disappear, and the body falls backwards.
[Private to Yuri Ivanovich: If you have questions on how to spend/use stunts points, feel free to PM me.]

Van scouts ahead with his drone trying to determine which side of the building in front of them is the best side to go around to avoid the sick/infected.
[Private to Nguyen Van Loc: The right side is the better way to go as there are less infected (just three) to take out.]

The one infected/sick person not shot at moves towards the woman in a sling and is 4 meters from her. This person is wearing disheveled clothing and is/was probably a homeless person.

Location of infected:

• One infected (the sex worker) is 4 meters from Alis, on the other side of mobile bar cart. Will be in range to make a melee attack after the next round.
• A second infected is 4 meters form the woman whose arm is in a sling. Will be in range to make a melee attack after the next round.
• The three sick/infected coming from the right are now 6, 8 & 9 meters away.
• There is now five more infected coming from the left. Three of these five are 12 meters away, one is 13 meters away and the last is 16 meters away.

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 190):

Van concentrated on finding a route to the Pachinko parlour door that had the fewest intervening infected. The infection seemed to not only be affecting them physiologically but psychologically, these people were simply not right!

"Everyone, bear right along the casino wall. Only few infected that way. Go right, go right!"

OOC: I got a (pretty crappy) game map up.

OOC: Sweet! Love it!

Would you be able to put an arrow or some such to point out where we are trying to head?

OOC: You guys are trying to get to the "Bldg w/door"

OOC: Ah, ok, tracking.

Checking the drone feed again Van verified that overall, there were less infected if they kept right. Not just in terms of those easily visible but out of sight past the gaming tables and central food court/cashiers cages.

"Come on everyone, di di mao! Di di mao!"

Alis pops the hapless individual in front of her. "Cart up here we can put the stretcher on." She says as she opens fire.

Kala also shoots at the infected sex worker, whispering a prayer for forgiveness as she does so. She puts the still down and grips the pistol in both hands to shoot as best she can.

The woman with her arm in a sling moves away from the infected person close to her, gettign between Alis, and Yuri.

The man with the auto rifle shoots at one of the infected to the right side.

Alis, and Kala both fire on the infected sex worker and the combined weapons fire knocks her backward.

Yuri blasts the closest infected person to him as it begins to follow the woman whose arm is in a sling. The buck shot creates a large hole in the chest. Not only are various organs exposed but it seems like there is blue glowing crystal running through the chest as well.

The man with the auto rifle takes out one of the infected on the right side and moves up slightly behind Yuri.

Van and those carrying the stretcher move up closer to Alis.

Several more infected are approaching from the left, but on the right, it seems like there are no new infected coming form that direction.

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 202):

He checked the drone feed. The coast seemed clear all the way to their destination. Maybe it was or maybe it wasn't a lead-in to the smuggler routes but either way they needed to get someplace hard to find. At least CPM would have its hands full with the plague and not be conducting a search of the casino or door-to-door any time soon.

"Good job. Let's go!" He started off, heading to the right around the central annex.

Alis reaches out with one hand and pulls the cart back towards the stretcher letting it coast from her to them on sheer momentum. "Hey! Use this." She calls out. She then angles closer to Yuri to go around the right side of the 'food joint: some sort of'.

She takes a shot at one of the sick that's closest to Yuri as well.

Between Alis, and the man with the auto rifle the three infected to the right are easily taken out, and no one armed with a pistol who intended to fire in that direction found they didn't need to.

The wounded man on the stretcher is placed on the cart, freeing up two individuals to cover the rear, as two guided the cart to follow those in the lead.

Going around the building along it right side, the group sees the door Van has bene talking about. A large walled off pachinko parlor sits roughly in the middle of the Casino level and the door in question has the words "Authorized Persons Only” listed in several languages.

The area is clear of any infected, but there are still the ones behind the group.

Whomever reaches the door first finds that the doorknob turns, but something heavy is blocking the door form opening inward.

Panting and terrified, Kala throws herself against the door, determined to push it open.

"Come on, Yuri," she calls. "We need some muscle." She knows the Earthers in the group will be the strongest in general.

OOC: Hopefully low gravity will help with the "weight" situation!
