DieKöniginBerlins
9-Change Of Plans
- we discuss how to attack
- plan: pin the queen in place and drop the space station on it
- our positions in the plan are: Sandman helps pinning the queen in place and then attack magically; Blush keeps important peoples back free; Loop brings the space station down on her; Katta leads the squads and then fires the arrow
- Loop and Sandman try to get some ESA guys on their side via social engineering, to help with space station parameters
- Sandman negotiates to sell them some really good shit, helping Loop tremendously in conning them into doing his work
- Loop hackt in die Matrix, die ICs bei der ESA sind noch da und greifen direkt an
- Loop versucht sie etwas abzulenken, aber kriegt sie nicht ganz los - gibt einen Riesenpile an ICs, Loop und Cat
- Sandman and his friends try to bind a Colossal Spirit of Fire into the Arrow, but ... it's larger than expected
- we try to dive out of the way of the expanding fire, but are all singed pretty badly as the elemental manifests
- Blush tries to recruit Sals Kids, but it turns out their new "Boss" has ordered them to protect the queen
- it seems Sal has gathered some defences, Blush wants to bring one of us in with her
- Cat says in, the pile of ICs fries Loops deck, synapses and brain (full deck and mental damage, a bit of physical damage)
- under pressure, Sandman and his colleagues put on a great show, quickly binding the huge fire spirit into the arrow
- while Sandman puts out the remaining fires with a summoned water spirit, Katta calls back Blush and then leaves to support her in breaking into Sals place to deal with the new leader
- Blush wants to set up a meeting with the Sal boss to get him alone
- Blush and Katta contact a boy from Sals kids, Sal is "indisposed" but we can wait outside
- wir betreten den Raum - es stinkt nach Blut und Brause, überall im Raum ist Blut; in der Mitte des Raums eine Badewanne voll orangem Glibberzeug und einem zerschnetzelten Sal, der sich weiter zerlegt
- Sandman tries to put another spirit into the already heavily loaded arrow, but it won't fit
- second arrow has a greater air and a greater fire spirit combined
- for the third arrow, they add another huge fire spirit, which comes with an extra surprise (exploit!)
- Blush is simply disappointed at Sal, who attacks saying "I'm superpowerful!"
- Sal hits Blush quite hard, but Blush simply knocks him out in response
- Blush tells the kids she is now in charge while Katta binds Sal with cable binders
- Sal gets back up, breaks free of the cable binders and attacks Blush again
- Katta fires at Sal, but Blush gets in the way - she takes a small hit
- Loops backup wants something extra to help him at ESA - he provides exclusive access to the crash video, but it even has to be in a special location
- Sal chokes Blush pretty badly, preventing her from breathing
- Blush hits Sal with a claw, breaking the hold, but the other swing goes amiss
- Katta fires at Sal again and again, but the wounds simply close
- Blush misses Sal twice
- Sal charges Katta, but Katta can jump back
- A powerbolt is thrown in from the side, hitting Sal pretty heavily
- Sal, Katta and Blush all miss each other, as does the power bolt
- Loops hired hackers take out the IC (with one loss), Loop starts redirecting the satellite, but it takes a while
- Sal and Katta miss each other again (as does the power bolt), but Blush manages to get a hold of him and stun him with her body armour
- with Sal grappled, it's still almost impossible to actually hit him, but Katta does a bit of damage it seems
- Blush rips out a rip of Sal while he is grappled, then cuts off his head; Katta improvises a magical attack with his spirit herbs and hits the head
- after a while, Sals body stops trying to regenerate
- the power bolts came from one of the kids who saw an opportunity to implement a change of leadership
- as Blush tries to take over the organisation, Katta provides some comfort to the kids
- Loop tells us that the satellite needs to go down near the Siegessäule
Best of:
- Flanf - "wir könnten Hilfe brauchen" "ja, wir helfen der Queen" ... wtf?
- Jonas - Sals Kids taken over by Blush
- Martin - Loops Chaos in der Matrix (get one-shot killed then move location to Siegessäule)
- Jan - it's a bit bigger than expected (fire spirit)
