(Setting) West Port Outskirts: Distress Call Coordinates
| >Walking on the ship was two people, in black hooded trenchcloaks that covered their entire body and went down to their feet. They had large golden suns painted on their backs, and they held marksman-rifle weapons that glowed a peculiar orange color. One watched while the other fiddled with the onboard computer of the ship.
| >a man walks on scene
>he is invisible and cloaked against thermals and any other means of detection
"this is where those coords leads"
>he whispers to himself
| >The two men did not notice the other man. The boat was small, and rocked as they walked across it. The one messing with the computer seemed to be inserting some sort of data tunneler, jamming it into the circutry.
>Suddenly, thr tunneler began shocking the hand of the wielder, but he did not waver as he then pulled it away.
"Got her."
>The man then plugged a chip into the bottom of the tunneler, and pressed a button on the entire device.
"The AI is ours, sister."
| >A man in a blue trenchcoat and bandana sneaks into the scene, carefully observing the scene.
"Alright... where is this troubled AI..."
>He whispers
| >>323829
>he immediately attempts to teleport the two men hundreds of feet in the air to kill them with the fall
| (Explain that tech to me, how does it work?)
| (We can try to make something work here)
| >>323838
(finally an OP who says no to the TP. Sorry sorry sorry
In that case)
>he sneaks on an attempts to backstab the one on the computer
| >>323845
>In stepping on to the small 20 foot boat, his weight is felt instantly on the boat, as it rocked in the water towards where he stepped.
"Whoa...What the hell was that?"
>The two instantly noticed the rocking, and raised their guns to that side of the ship towards the dock.
"Who's there?!"
>The one with the chip quickly sidestepped over to the back of the ship towards his ally, as they both stand at the back of the ship, pointing their guns at the front and the dock.

(forgot to reload)
(there is a device on his neck the utilizes particle manipulation, as quantum entanglement was deemed to stupid and dangerous
Thanks to that he can manipulate sounds,light and anything utilizing particles.
Although he is only proficient with light and matter)
>>323841
(of course its the OPs decision if i can use it or not
If i need to go more in depth i can, just ask)
>>323852
>he tosses a pink vial at them
>it explodes into a cloud of sleeping gas
| > Fox's transmitter got the distress call and he sped away to it on his motorcycle as fast as he could. He left it a block out and continued to the docks on foot, keeping his distance and height advantage as best he could. There weren't many tall buildings like he was most used to, but at least there was something in the way of shadows and the like to make use of. It looked like some kind of commotion was going on, but he was still too far away to tell what it could be
| >The hidden man looks for a means to access the boat
| >>323858
(Gonna say no on this one if that's okay.)
>As a pink vial materializes out of thin air from the front of the boat, both soldiers begin firing wildly at the front of the boat, as the one on the left hops from the boat to the dock while the one on the right begins to fall asleep. The one on the left, which was also the one with the AI, begins sprinting down the dock towards the land.
"YOU WON'T SAVE HER! SHE IS EVIL, AS ALL AI ARE!"
>He tosses a grenade back to the boat!
| >>323940
(completely understandable)
>in running the man detonates some landmines filled with sleeping gas while the cloaked man snaps his companions neck
| >>323940
>Seeing the other figure jumping back to the dock and attempt an escape, the trenchcoat figure pulls out his stungun and fires it at them.
| >The man on the dock falls to the ground, knocked out by the sleeping gas and the stungun round, dropping both his gun and the tunnel chip.
>The man still on the boat dies from a broken neck.
>The grenade that the former threw at the boat, however, landed in the ship, before exploding on impact, shooting superheated radioactive liquid in a radius around it that immediately melted the front half of the ship and would begin melting the clothes, skin, and then bone, of anybody it hit.
| >>324139
(How did you get from snapping the neck of a person on the boat to the other guy before the grenade hit the boat? It exploded on impact, meaning the duration of when it was thrown to when it hit the boat was like, one and a half seconds dude...I like you but that's a bit of a stretch. Stungun guy was closer to him than you were, at most you'd have just *barely* been able to jump off the boat before the grenade exploded...)
| >>324165
(balls i keep forgetting i cant warp.
Uuuhhhh sorry sorry sorry okokok so i need to rephrase that.
How OP is the blast?
Like how many people can it go through?)
| (sorry bout morph
Anyways how about this?)
>responding to the signal a "guardian angel" appears from the sky
>her prototype jetpack fashioned likw golden wings swoops down from the sky and drops a small shield generator near the cloaked man
(is that acceptable?

(The blast isn't necessarily going through people. It is a superheated radioactive liquid capable of melting almost everything it touches, but it *is* a liquid, so it'll stop on/cover whatever it touches, melt it and then fall to the ground and probably start melting around that. So if you jumped off the boat, whether it be onto the dock or into the water you'd probably have been fine as long as it didn't touch you.)
| >>324192
(That's fine, that tech is at least somewhat reasonable, though it would probably stop on and begin melting away the shield, given the previous explanation, but it would protect him.)
| >>324226
(Alright ok.
And uh, sorry for being so difficult)
>he used the freshly snaped body as a shield
>and for added affect, he tosses a peach vial around him covering himself in a hard foam
| >>324068
The trenchcoat man approaches the body, holding his breath due to the gas, and pocketing the chip away.
| >>324231
(Don't apologize man, everybody wants their OC to be unique, just remember that unique doesn't always have to mean you're the mary sue hero of the day and you're good :)
>The liquid splats against the human shield, leaving an indent in the body as it began to melt away the matter from the outside, through the clothes, skin, flesh and bone very quickly. None penetrated quick enough to hit the one behind it, though.
>>324303
>The chip begins to shock the man in his pocket!
| >It vibrates at a very high rate with electric shocks coming from the chip itself! It seems to be some sort of external self-defense mechanism!
| >>324404
(yeep tbh i am still trying too figure the balancing out for this one.
But again i apologize, just feels wrong not to say so)
>he tosses the body aside
"blegh.that is ....fhakin. disgusting"
>if there is any fires he attempts to quell them with a foam bomb
>if not he just tries to get off and loot the body
| >>324406
>The figure tries to take the chip out through the shocks
"T-This is too much shit for o-one geekboy..."
| >He tosses it in his the coat chest pocket and closes it, protecting himself due to the insulated lining. -CN
| >>324491
>The front half of the boat is almost completely melted, and it is quickly sinking. It would be impossible to save it at this point. However, the dock did not sustain serious damage. The body is sinking into the water with the boat.
>>324542
>The chip cannot hurt CN from that pocket, so he would now be safe to-
"Ahahahaha, nice job Geekboy!"
>A buff, short-haired man with a light machinegun in hand and augged steel limbs walks up to CN.
"I'm the guy who asked for help."
| "Nice work, so far. Though you weren't alone, foamboy over there helped take out the duo.
>The man held his Light Machinegun pointed to the sky with one arm as he nodded to >>324639 with his head.
"Relax, I'm not here to scumbag you. Just here to make sure we make it out of this place with the AI safely. Saw all the stuff about the GCPD hunting you down, wantes to make sure you don't get arrested with this shit. Which brings us to now...'
| >>324645
"I see... well what's the big deal with the chip then? They mentioned it was an AI or something?"
| >>324645
"dammit im caught"
>he decloaks and approaches them
"also foamboy? Got a chuckle i admit"
>>324658
"something called agent ai right?"
| > Fox keeps his eyes sharp and keeps still. Explosions and gases and yells filled the air. All things that the courier would rather avoid, even if his body was in better straits to handle some extra damage. He opens the slot in his left arm and pulls out his phone, ready to start recording to prove his innocence and identity
| >>324658 >>324665
"Yeah, an old AI left over from old corporate security assets. But hey, we'll talk more about it when we get to safety. This place isn't secure."
>The man looked around and began scanning the rooftops and windows.
"I'm gonna pull the car up, let's get out of here. Too quiet."
>The man pressed a switch on a key-fob as a Levicar hovered it's way around from around a building...
>...and then EXPLODED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM! The force would knock them all backwards!
| >Shrapnel flew everywhere, as well as some more of that orange radioactive liquid, showing that the car bomb was no ordinary one!
>Suddenly, men and women in large black cloaks all appeared on the rooftops, the dark alleyways, and behind the wreckage of the car.
"Praise be..."
>All of the cloaks covered their entire body, and were covered in golden sun patterns.
"Praise be the prohphet!"
>The are open in the front, and when opened, they reveal black composite-alloy armor.
| >They all opened the cloaks, and revealed different types of the same weaponry used by the other two, from pistols to submachine guns to assault rifles to marksman rifles to heavy machineguns to sniper rifles to shotguns.
"PRAISE BE THE PROPHET THOTH!"
"Oh-oH SHIT RUN!"
>The man quickly started trying to help up CN and Foamboy before pointing his gun down an alleyway to the left and mowing down two cultists in their way in a hail of bullets, but not before he was shot in the arm!
| >The shots quickly began to eat through the metal arm, and the man groaned as he watched his left hand fall off.
"Ha! I can fire this thing one-handed! Onwards fellas, I don't plan on dying today!"
| >>324995
"You dont have to tell me twice! Let's book it out of here!"
>CN begins escaping in the opposite direction, using whatever is around as cover to escape
| >'foamboy' follows while flinging sleeping gas ,foam and smoke bombs at the cultists
| >'foamboy' follows while flinging sleeping gas ,foam and smoke bombs at the cultists
| >The man with the machine gun follows behind the other two, and they quickly start running down an adjacent dark alleyway. Yelling and shots can be heard behind them, chasing after them.
"If we get into inner West Port, the Fishermen could fight these guys off! Let's go there!"
>The Cultists are good at avoiding the sleeping gas and smoke, some of them equipped with gas masks, but it did slow them a few steps behind. They continue to fire upon the trio, the shots whizzing to them.
| >at this point 'foamguy' attempts to parkour unto a roof and follow the group from the rooftops
| >>324907
(That recording could be important. I don't know how else to contact you besides on here, but keep that recording handy ;)
| >As they made their way to more civilized West Port area, ships and fishermen bustling, it becomes a noticable shock to them as groups of black cloaked cultists stand on the horizon, outside the point where weapons could be fired at them. They all stood, ominously, staring intently at the trio.
"It seems we got away...for now."
>The man leans down on his knee with his one remaining hand as Fishermen surround the two on the ground, but not Foamboy on the roof away from them.
| >>325171
"This? Eh, I've already been through two others. With the money we'll make from this AI, I should be able to buy more than just one hand. Just curious as all hell what they were shooting that could do this...I doubt it'll be the last time we hear from those two though. Gonna have to disappear for a while, and if I were you, I'd recommend you do the same. Those guys have more manpower than I thought..."
| >>325185
"Fuck if I know, or care. Its cutting edge tech, but its bricked and broken to all hell. It was a secret project that belonged to Norn Incorporated, high-echelon level shit. Beyond that, I have no fraggin clue what it's used for, but I know its valuable enough that those guys wanted a LOT of money for it, so I plan on cashing in. And since you two helped, you can split your cut. I was gonna go 50/50 with you Geekboy but you brought one more, so you two can split your 50."
| >>325228 >>325230
"I kind of agree with him. I want to see what the big deal is with this first before deciding."
| > Fox kept the recording going the whole time. Explosions and all. He feared the whole time for his own life. Actual shadowrunners were on scene and were doing damage. Meanwhile, Fox just kept low and was too scared to even try and save whoever it was that sent out the distress call. But he wanted to. This was better than nothing. Nobody had even noticed him yet, in any event.
| >>325230 >>325550
"What's to decide? You're all only here because I sent out the mission. I plan on selling this thing. I need the money now more than anything, do you not see the missing fraggin arm?"
>The guy looks between the duo.
"I mean, fine, yeah sure you can see it, but this isn't up for debate. You saw how badly those guys out there want this thing. They're going to keep hunting us all for it until we get rid of it. Keeping it is painting a target on our backs."
| "We have no practical choice behind getting rid of it, and I plan on getting well paid for all this trouble we've gone through to get this damned thing. Its just an AI, a broken one at that. What would you possibly want to see it for?"
| *besides getting
| >>325883
"Well for starters if some group wants a broken AI that badly what's to say the seller doesn't want it for something nefarious too? I'm just trying to see if theres more too it than meet the eye."
| >>325897
"Oh, that's right, I forgot. The Shonen Protagonist in you actually cares what they do with this thing. If you weren't a damn good Decker who knows his stuff, and if I didn't also have a tiny amount of morals and respect for people who know their stuff, I'd have already shot you both and took it myself."
>The guy taps his foot.
"Okay, well you got 10 minutes. Do what you have to. After that, we're finding a buyer for this thing. 10 minutes."
| >>325908
"Yea, yea."
>He puts on some gloves to protect from the shocks, and takes out the chip to analyze it
| >The chip has stopped attempting to shock you. The construct is a Dataspike for cracking security walls physically, with a slot for a USB 6.2 on the bottom. The USB itself seems to be holding the AI in it. It would need to be plugged into something to be viewed.

| >Rusty metal doors, red brick buildings, the sounds of crashing waves. The area doesn't look out of the ordinary for West Port besides the fact that it's so far away from anything anybody is doing. In the dark of night, the streetlamps sizzle and flicker, and a set of coordinates leads to this exact spot: A docked ship, maybe a 20 footer, floating on the waves of the ocean, magna-locked to the dock.
