Neil and Ryan snuck into the Baron’s quarters as he apparently lay there snoring, and Ryan stole the portrait hanging over his bed – for what perverted reason, we know not. While Matt attacked the central servers, the rest of the team took the elevator up to the fourth floor, arriving just as Matt sent them a map showing the Baron’s quarters and Library to be on the 3rd floor. They avoided the guard patrols and picked the lock to the back door of the central keep. Last night: the team snuck through Castle Munchmaussen, with Matt and Chris mostly keeping the cameras off them with hacks and illusions. The group made it back to Denver and got paid. The arrival of fighter jets terrified the group, but they turned out to be shooting down the Baron’s helicopter in a tit-for-tat response to his shooting down Sioux drones over the years.
#ARES FIREWATCH DRIVERS#
The drivers managed to avoid taking AVM hits, and a panther shot plus the front of Austin’s Citymaster at maximum speed managed to bust through the gate, allowing them out of the valley. Terrified, but exhilerated, they piled into vans and peeled out, with the sounds of tank treads behind them.Īs they raced through the forest, pursued by a helicopter, they came in sight of the border checkpoint – with a locked barrier gate and incoming AVMs.

With the 3 concious members of Brody, Chimera, and The Machine screaming in terror, they somehow managed to steer it around obstacles and safely down the hill, with nothing but deep-tissue bruising to show for it. The group piled into the Tram, and Dvorak released the safeties, releasing the tram car to slide down the cables… and glitched.Īs the tram began sliding down the cable, it rocked slightly as the safeties released unevenly, and slipped off the cable falling 10 or so feet to the snow covered mountainside.

One then got punched unconcious, and the other exploded when shot with a Panther. With Ryan leading the way with a couple of prybars from a store room, Ryan crashed into the Tram room to find a pair of guards, who he promptly brained with the prybars. The group got seriously shot up, but Ryan punched a hole into a storeroom and they all jumped through. Brody threw grenades and panther shells, Chimera shot up the spotlights and some people, and The Machine started trying to blow a hole in the wall. They passed through the gate to find one of the walls of the outer courtyard lined with guards aiming at them. Unfortunately, while crossing the free-fire zone that the court had become, he took a bullet on his armor and passed out again. Taking a very few moments to splint Dvorak’s leg, the first aid kit also managed to get Bram awake again, at least enough to run on his own legs for the gate they entered through. Ryan’s cyber just lets him do that, Neil tanked the damage while carrying Chris, Slade also tanked the fall – and Matt broke his left leg in 3 places. With the group standing in a shot-up library as guards poured out of their barracks into the courtyard, the group jumped out the shattered wall from the 3rd floor. When they go off, the cubicle farm “looks like Florida after the Hurricane”, and Chimera and Brody are unconcious. The last survivor, desparate after watching his friends die, daisy chains a group of grenades together. Security guards respond to the fight in the server room, but are badly outmatched. In the server room, Brock misunderstands a message from Dvorak, and flips out convinced that the other deckers in the room are spider spirits, and he starts death-punching them. The overwatch team witnessed a group of bikes and a van launch an assault on the building, shooting up the place wildly. Only seconds later, a massive explosion went off overhead. The group got Dvorak downstairs to a cubicle, and he hacked into the system. Since it was now about 2am and much of the security was sleeping or gone home, it worked. There was much discussion of plans, the group finally deciding that the Trolls, Chimera, and Dvorak would try to sneak in to the server room and the others would wait as backup. The team was all in a motel room after their scouting efforts.
