A call came in to Stephenson's tacpad. Another mafia hit, with a hacker tangled in it. They didn't call him "Blade Runner" for nothing, Stephenson mused. As long as this hacker didn't make a bad move, it'd be an easy job.
[b]Twenty minutes later.[/b]
Stephenson dropped into the sewers with a few droids on his heels. They were dumb, but they had firepower. Activating his Gargoyle kit, Stephenson began scanning the area for magnetic traces of the hacker's glove code pattern.

-
[b]After scanning, you find a slight trace on a manhole covering, which has an indent facing upward.[/b]
-
[To Ite] Suddenly, something busts through the ceiling of the elevator, and you jump back as a man in a brown duster lands inside. Ronnie also yipes in surprise and lets go of the crank. The elevator stops moving, and you two are stuck with whoever the hell this infiltrator is.
-
[b]I punch him in the face as he falls through the ceiling of the elevator.[/b]
-
Stephenson grabs the mark, some young hacker type, and hurls a knife at the gunman next to him as the mark falls with him down the shaft.
-
[To Stephenson] The target's buddy is a bad shot, all of the pistol's shots missing you. That was lucky, but you still have to make a plan of both suppressing the target and not hitting the ground too hard.
-
[To Stephenson] The target has sacrificed his hand for the life of his friend, and that has gotten the guy some time to pull out a PR-X5 ((look in the Almanac for more info on the weapon)), and begins firing at you.
-
Stephenson decides enough is enough. He orders one of the droids to send a smart flash grenade up into the elevator, then uses his tac-pad's grapple to lasso the mark as they hit the ground. Above them, the elevator halts.
-
[To Stephenson] The droids are advancing to your position, and you successfully lasso the target as he tries to slow his fall down by gripping a wall. You wrench him off, slowing the fall, and hit the floor of the shaft, softer than it could have been. You look up, dazed, to see the targets partner has started twisting the crank, and the elevator starts to slowly descend towards you. "Who the hell are you?!" you suddenly hear a voice next to you. You look to the side to see two bulky gunmen standing in the jammed-open doorway of the bottom floor, Mafia possibly, toting Kriksboc-19 rifles in their heavily muscled arms, which are aimed at you and the target.
-
Stephenson has no time for the Mafia, and cleanly two-shots the gunmen in the hands, forcing them to drop their rifles as the detective races past, with the mark literally dragging along behind him as he runs up into a maintenance tunnel. The droids, their mission complete, retreat back up the sewers to the surface. Stephenson and the mark are alone.
-
((Wait, how are your droids at the bottom of the shaft?))
-
[b]I raise my hand to block the thrown knife, and while falling, I push away from you by kicking you square in the chest.[/b]
-
Edited by HickoryHamMike: 7/14/2015 5:48:50 PM[To Ite] The knife is lodged deep in your palm. You have saved Ronny's life, but at the cost of your ungloved hand. Ronnie now has a PR-X5 in his hands. And begins shooting at the intruder.
-
[b]I pull out the knife mid-free fall.[/b]
-
[To Ite] Blood flows from your hand as Ronny's bullets fly past you and the assailant. They miss each of you. You better come up with a plan before you hit the ground.
-
[b]I grab the wall with my gloved hand, slowing my descent.[/b]
-
[To Ite] The gunmen are dead, and now you and the invader are alone together in the maintenance tunnel the gunmen were guarding.
-
Edited by HickoryHamMike: 7/14/2015 6:27:40 PM[To Ite] Suddenly, something wraps around you from below and tugs you off of the wall, and you begin to fall again, but only shortly before you hit the bottom of the shaft. You are not dead, only dazed. You hear men speak in deep voices and the creaking of the elevator descending towards you in your dizzy vision. You go into focus: two burly men with rifles stand in the jammed-open doorway of the bottom floor of the shaft next to you, shouting at the assailant, who lies next to you. You look up to see the elevator is slowly going down towards you.

-
"I see."
-
Edited by HickoryHamMike: 7/14/2015 3:52:24 PM[To Stephenson] About three quarters of a mile into the stinking place, you could catch a small blip of a Power Glove. And it was descending deeper into the Cedyetican Underground.

Edited by Ex PI: 7/14/2015 5:11:21 PMStephenson turned the corner, primed his Blade, and fired straight down, with the breacher round expanding and allowing for the detective and his group to fall straight through the sewers, right onto the level a few floors distant from the blip. Stephenson didn't have much to worry about, given that his Bullfrog kit kept his legs from getting snapped off, but his kit detected armed units in the next room, guarding an elevator.

Edited by HickoryHamMike: 7/14/2015 4:04:43 PM((Wait, could you edit that a bit? I think you should follow on foot first before blasting straight through the floor to them. And besides, they're almost a mile away from you. You could follow his trail from the entrance to the Sewers and up a ramp through a sewage reservoir, and then either into the left or right tunnel of forked passage ways. In one of them will be the scene of a gruesome murder involving the combustion of a man's head, who's body is slumped against a ladder. You can climb up the ladder after investigating and into another reservoir, where at the end is a service tunnel with two Mafia gunmen guarding at the middle of it. Then there should be an elevator shaft Ite is using behind them. Good luck!))
-
((Will do.))
-
((Okay, never-mind the editing)) [To Stephenson] You tear through the ceiling of the elevator the Hacker is located, dropping into the box to the Punk and an older man's utter surprise. The older man was previously twisting some mechanism of the wall, a crank, but now he has let go off it and the elevator has stopped.
