"I'll tell you anything! Just please don't kill me! What do you want to know? Access codes? Where the spy is? Is this about the M-Tech?"

[Silverdream]

I'm not playing this, but if I was, I would consider holding him outside the window for fun.

[Quantumsurfer]

"All of it, you slime. Spill! But you do it on the way out; you're coming with us." I rig a grenade to the middle of his back and key my Teksovar to it, readying it to blow on my command.

I look back at Jarius. "Whall, how's the exit strategy coming?"

[Scratch]

Sorry, keep forgetting this is in the LDD forum. anyway, apply pressure on wounds to assist in other people healing me, if no one starts applying medical care to me, I will begin to do it myself. Spend time scanning the area to make sure we aren't taken off guard by any attacks.

Also, as a matter of personal honor, I suggest we fuck this guy up after we interrogate him, don't kill him, just make sure he doesn't look pretty anymore.

General questions, is there a procedure for field promotions if the leader of a chain of command is killed? We should contact HQ.

[Quantumsurfer]

I'm good with it.

[Scratch]

Following being patched up, break one of the bottles and threaten him with it, look for any security cameras in the area and disable them, so we have deniability for what we're going to do to him.

[Brikguy0410]

No, we should'nt mutilate this guy, yes he is a scumbag, but we're not animals, if we maim and toture him, we're no better than him

[Quantumsurfer]

"Always the voice of reason, Smith. Fine, you're right. Duke, stow it for now. We need to get the hell out of here first. And find out what this scumbag knows."

[devincp]

"Looks like my control virus is in the system, we should have a little help on getting out if it works." looking over at Cadwgan, "Baines, If you can get me those security codes and info on the M-Tech we may be able to use it to get out of here, Also I am sure that HQ would be interested in it as well."

Begin working on disabling the security door so we can get out.

[Semaj Nagirrac]

Rodjer applies pressure to his wounds while Isaac treats him.


The treatment replenishes 7 HP for Rodjer. He is now at 21/40 HP. Rodjer stands up and takes a bottle of Midgardian Wine. He raises it over his head...


... and slams it over the counter, shattering the bottle.


As a matter of personal honor, Rodjer shows the broken bottle to Thorvald and threatens to disfigure his face.

"NO!! Please, no! I said I would talk!"


Isaac jumps in before Rodjer can cause any harm. "No! We shouldn't mutilate this guy! Yes he is a scumbag, but we're not animals. If we maim and torture him, then we're no better than him." he says.


"Always the voice of reason, Smith. Fine, you're right. Duke, stow it for now. We need to get the hell out of here first and find out what this scumbag knows.", says Cadwgan before he looks over to Jarius. "Whall, how's the exit strategy coming?"


"Looks like my control virus is in the system, we should have a little help on getting out if it works." Then, looking over at Cadwgan, he says "Baines, If you can get me those security codes and info on the M-Tech we may be able to use it to get out of here, Also I am sure that HQ would be interested in it as well."


The Teksovar shows multiple errors before it begins heating up. Jarius discovers a ZhanGuo Industries virus has been uploaded to his device. His Teksovar is now being hacked.


"Tell us all of it, you slime. Spill!" Shouts Cadwgan at Thorvald. "But you do it on the way out; you're coming with us."


He rigs a grenade onto Thorvald's back and syncs it with his Teksovar.


Meanwhile, Rodjer scans the room for security cameras and listening devices. He finds one recording device on the computer.


"All right! I'll tell you everything!" screams Thorvald. He takes a deep breath and says "The Dragon Guard has always been our greatest hurtle for creating a better tomorrow. They have held the emperor's ear for centuries and forced their traditions upon the populace while innovators like me were denied our right to improve this world. Nothing could be done about them while they retained their magic. Their gift from the emperor was the only thing that could stop us from removing them entirely."


"But then we discovered it. This beautiful mineral that you see before holds the key to the future! With it, we have been able to synthesize magic and soon it will be available to everyone! No longer will we need to toil under the boots of the Dragon Guard! But something has gone wrong. One of them discovered our plan, and nearly ruined everything. Luckily we were able to lock him up before he could report to his superiors. I don't know how he did it, but he managed to get a distress signal out. Although, it is curious that the army received the signal and not his organization..."


A voice comes on over the intercom:

This is ZhanGuo Industries Security. Mr. Sandersen is not to be harmed. If he is, your lives will be forfeit. The windows are impervious to any firepower you can muster. Your only way out is through the office doors and it will require Mr. Sandersen's personal access code to deactivate the plasma shield. When you exit the office, you will turn over all of your weapons and equipment to our security personnel and submit to arrest. Do you agree to these terms?

Your attempts to reach HQ fail. Only static plays on your long range communicators. You are on your own.

Standard protocol for assuming command among non-officer units is democratic. You'll have to vote on who's in charge.

Current HP

Cadwgan: 40 - Healthy Limit Break:10/20
Rodjer: 21 - Badly Wounded Limit Break:0/20
Jarius: 40 - Healthy Limit Break:10/20
Isaac: 40 - Healthy Limit Break:6/20

[Semaj Nagirrac]

I realize things went a little out of order. Sorry o'boat that, as the Canadians would say.

[devincp]

Addressing the others, "Before we respond to their demands we need to deal with chain of command, I nominate Cadwgan to take lead of this unit." then I move over to the computer to see if I can get my Teksovar working again, then download the recording files. Looking back at the group "Once we deal with chain of command then we need to make a plan as to how we are getting out of here, Mr. Thorvald the access codes if you don't mind."

-OK everybody we need to choose a leader and make a plan to get out of here, so start brainstorming and post your ideas and your votes so we can get this situation under control.

[Scratch]

Alright, let's do some planning, did we get his confession recorded? We should try to get it sent to high command, since our own tech is sabotaged let's get Mr. Sandersen to temporarily disable the monitoring devices in the room, under the excuse of "Needing to consult with the team before we make any definite moves either way." while the monitoring devices are disabled, check over his computer and any mobile devices he may have to see if they aren't blocked, since whatever's effecting our tech likely isn't set up to auto-block friendly tech, and with the monitoring devices disabled they won't be able to react fast enough to block them. Once we have access to an unrestricted device we should sent the audio-log off to high command, so that no matter what happens a record will be available. Also, upload backups of the audio-log to 3rd party file sharing sites.

Other things:
- Do a hard shutdown on your hacking device before it completes the infection.
- I vote Quantum's dude for leader
- Do we go out there? we need a battle plan for this before we head out.
- We should make a counter offer since Mr. Sandersen is guilty of murdering an officer of the army during marshal law we cannot in good faith give him back and request a line of communication to command before we hear any more offers.
- Let's do a scan of the crystal and see if we can put it to use, the magic might be able to break the windows.

[Quantumsurfer]

"Alright, Whall, shut it down, clean it if you can. Sanderson, access codes. Now."

I guide him over to the computer. I'd like to do as much of what Scratch has suggested as possible.

"Smith, continue the scan. Check that crystal, see what you can determine about it. Duke, Alpha Pattern. You on the speaker, you're going to get me a line out to my people. I want to speak to Admiral Llywelyn. Make it happen. And remember I've got your boss in here. Agree or this conversation is over."

Alpha Pattern is readiness for combat, setting up ambush if possible.

[Scratch]

I'll take the shelf and start setting up some cover next to the door to ready the ambush, make sure that when you're working on the computer you keep the screen away from the windows so no one looks in on us.
