Ivan, are you going with Punkey's storyline suggestion of offing the driver and guards then leaving?

Yes, offing the driver as swiftly as possible that won't attract attention, and keeps him away from the horn.

Crap. You posted while I was.

We'll go with that and I'll get up another post with the results.

Punkey PM'ed me about a descrepancy in his character. I edited the post regarding Ayumi/Carla's orders.

Moten's with the Agency, just not the regular field ops like the rest of the team is. The Basement is considered the red-headed stepchild of the Agency.

Note: Brian's silencer no-worky.

I have an MP5 with a silencer.

What do you think, Ivan? Snatch and grab?

Works for me.

Ok. How are you working it?

Brian grabs RAO while Moten takes the wheel and speeds off?

Bingo.

Edit: Since it would be a shame to leave Ayumi and Carla behind, does either Brian or Moten see them?

Congratulations. You're the first duo to actually execute a plan and get away with it.

Brian's busy wrangling RAO in the backseat and Moten has no idea that they're so closeby.

However, Ayumi and Carla just saw RAO get bushwhacked. That's pretty much Brian's MO, so it would stand to reason that he's taking care of business right in front of them.

You knew that those ranks in Hobby (Videogames) would someday manifest, right? Oh, it felt very good typing that. Too good, almost.

You may strangle me now.

It appears to be Dia de los Snipers on Headonastick!

While Goose couldn't make out where the bullet originated, Peter could tell that it was at a high angle and on his left. That would put the sniper somewhere in the industrial complex ruins, possibly in one of the nearby cranes.

And once again, this is why Artis stays in the vehicle.

He should put the truck in gear and drive closer to us. I really don't want a second hit like that, so...cover, please?

Gatac

I can at least tell Petey got shot from the front or such, yes? I'll pull the semi around to give them cover.

Yeah. Peter's reaction would indicate the bullet went from right to left.

We've reached competent, gentlemen!

Don't get cocky...long have we though "We've reached competent..." only to dive head first into a canal in Venice.

But, it does feel pretty good for the plan to have gone right. At the moment, going to be working on restraining the RAO, probably with a boot on the chest and a menacingly aimed gun.

Now lets go pick up the girls.

Also, my M.O. being recognized as "the other guy got bushwacked" is, in its own way, pretty kickass.

Gatty, you rolled really well on your Espionage check and know something's not right here. And by "not right" I mean, you know there's something bad just over the horizon but have no clue what exactly it is.

Peter's first inclination is to stop whatever he's doing and think.

That's all I'm going to say.

Yay for Knowledge (Espionage)! Tradecraft-related inspiration checks are where it's at.

Peter will jump into the rig and quickly reconsider the tactical situation. The truck's armored to the wazoo, so it should protect us while I figure out what the hell is going on here.
