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)
