"Finding Anastasia Romanov" Part 2 (11/19/06)

Scene One: The Arrival

 

"Jack, Jason, as soon as you get in, be ready to provide cover fire if necessary." shouts Andrew.

 

Jason makes his way to the car and gets in the back. Jack Markson also takes off, leaving the horses behind as he runs for the now purring car. He does not get in; however, waiting to climb in last.

 

Kahn stares for a moment at Andrew in sheer disbelief, marvelling at his defeat of the obviously superior technology (the car). "Das pretty good shuhan! Not even Kahn defeat technagee dat tuff!"

 

Hearing the car start and the footsteps rapidly coming closer to them, Liza Beth rushes over to the front passager side door and opens it quickly and gets in. She looks at Andrew with a smile and says, "great work here, but I think we really need to go now!!"

 

Then she looks over to the others left standing outside and says, "Come on guys, hurry your butts up and get in before it's too late!!"

 

Andrew also hears the approaching footsteps as he sets the car in gear and prepares the car for a quick retreat. Andrew hands Liza Beth the handful of smoke pellets he grabbed out earlier. "Liza Beth, here's a little something to aid our getaway."

 

She remembers the small bombs from the fight of teh Carribean Lady. The ninja had used them to mask himself in smoke. It wasn't a big field of smoke, but it was enough to give the ninja a chance to get away. It disspiated a few seconds later. Though she isn't really familiar with the objects she did she how they worked -- just throw them hard against the ground, or another surface. She is sure she can use them appropriately.

 

Liza Beth now has 5 smoke pellets added to her character sheet.

 

Jason prepares for a possible battle with the ord security guards who are coming. A wry smile playing across his face as he pulls out a pair of elaborate pistols covering everyones 'six'. He knows that it wouldn't be appropriate to kill the ords, since they are just trying to live their lives in the reality they have been forced into. Most of them are most likely earthers who flipped over to the Terra axioms when Dr. Mobius invaded Earth with the Nile Empire. But if push comes to shove, the flipped ords are providing support to the High Lord of the realm just by being alive -- even if it isn't their fault.

 

Jack pulls up his M-16, flicking the selector fire to burst, he then fires a burst at the ground where the footsteps should be coming around the building. After being brought back to reality by the gunfire, Kahn gets into the vehicle next to Jason. Jack then gets in forcing Khan over into the middle between himself and Jason, "That should give them something to think about before rounding that corner."

 

Andrew takes off the force field generator so he can sit easier in the driver's seat. "By the way, anyone who's providing cover fire may want to use that thing."

 

Andrew then takes off, charging the vehicle through the barricade arm. They drive off into the depths of the city in search of their rendezvous point...

Scene Two: Morocco Smith

 

It's been about forty minutes since the minor scuffle at the airport. The heroes ditch the vehicle abut a mile away from the bar after they figure out its location. They walk the rest of the way until they find Slippery Sam's. It's a dirty-looking establishment, but then a lot of the buildings here are like that. They head inside. Liza Beth and Andrew easily find their companion, Morocco Smith. He is sitting at a booth in the back of the room. Although the lighting in the back isn't very good, it is obvious that he is not in the best of health.

 

"Ahh... my friends... It is very good of you to come *cough*. I am afraid that the others don't have much time. *cough*." As the heroes sit down they can see that every time he coughs, he is coughing up blood.

 

Jack moves to Morocco, "Let me look at that wound friend," he pulls out his first aid kit and attempts to deliver aid to the man.

 

Jack wants to ask questions, but is a stranger to this man, best to let his C.O. handle the debrief. He wonders what did this to Mr. Smith.

I do not wish to discard any card, though if I can play my Nemesis card for a Possibility now, I'd like to. Use a possibility on a roll of 1 please.
I would like to play my Master Plan card to get the Nemesis card please.

 

All taken care of

Jason calmly scans the area, marking all possible exit/entry points, places to duck and dive and spots one could disappear into. While doing so, the Ninja also tries to pick up on the mood of the place and the people around him.

Playing 'Willpower' to my Awarness

 

Discarding card #161 Net Gain. Playing #155 Supporter to assist with the aid.

"Owh! He no look good!" Kahn states concerning Morocco. "One time I saw a docca show wit dis, I know whadda do..." as he moves to help Jack.

 

Andrew starts to look around the place, trying to see if anyone is paying attention to them (or trying too hard to look like they're not paying attention to them). He rests his hand on the pommel of his sword, expecting trouble. "Morocco, I know it's rough for you right now, but I need to know where the others are. We'll get you patched up as best we can, and get you and the others out of here."

 

"There is no hope for me..." begins Morocco. "I have tried hard to hang on long enough to meet you. The others arein very, very big trouble. They have been captured by a man named Oliver Blackwind. He lives in the fenced-in mansion several blocks down the street. We tried to get in to save Anastasia, but we were beaten just inside the building... I do not know if the others even survived. I barely made it out myself..."

"Try not to worryabout it now we are here and we will get her back you just rest and try and get better.."says Liza Beth
