Keep going. We're in a major city, warm patches are hardly unusual. If we stop to investigate every random wash of heat we'll be chasing dryers and air conditioning units for the next 40 years.

I don't even know where to begin because I have no programming knowledge beyond HTML and CSS, having typed out games from books in BASIC on the C64, and having once built a notepad with integrated calculator using a C++ tutorial. That said, I'm enjoying seeing the results of using our in-head SSH program

Have Blue posted:A) Turn and fight! You turn your stumble into a roll, landing neatly in a crouch and turn to face the alley you came from. Nothing... except for that heat haze. Brighter now, too You tense and spring directly for it, drawing your knife as you cut through the air. You drive it point first into the thermal bloom  which seemingly dissolves on contact to reveal your attacker!  Your knife keeps going, skittering off of ceramic and kicking up up sparks.  Clawed hands reach out and grab your arm, your shoulder. Your own augmented momentum is turned against you as you're thrown onto the ground!  You lay there, stunned. "Ah, there's some fight in you. Not much, but enough. You'll do." With that, he(?) dissolves back into haze.  "One more thing, when you get to the Met, tell them Gates says hi." The haze starts to drift away. a) Keep fighting! This guy is on your side! That or your whole mission(?) is burned. Either way, he could do with some straightening out. b) Leave You'd prefer not to get your head smashed in any more than it already has been, thank you very much. c) Talk Gates seems willing to talk, even if only to taunt you. Pump him for what info you can. MOBILITY: MAX HEAT: 80% AVAILABLE RUNTIMES: 20% Have Blue fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Sep 22, 2017 |

Have Blue posted:b) Leave You pick yourself up from the pavement in time to see Gates disappear back down the alley. Outrail posted:"Next time Bill! Next tiiiimmmeeeeee." ...  The years had been kind to the Met. Already used to leveraging its august position in high society to woo ultrawealthy donors, the rising tide of poverty and misery in NuYork did little to tarnish the splendor within its halls. Once an institution for the masses, armed private security now patrol the premises ensuring the rabble don't touch anything. Or even look at it, in most cases. You stop well short of the cordon surrounding the museum and climb a convenient skyscraper for a better view:  The "BE HERE" marker is centered within the museum. It looks like it's in a gallery on the second floor? You've got to find a way in: A) Down through the roof You've got wings(?), use them. Though something looks off up there... B) Bluff your way in "Pleased to meet you, I'm a man of wealth and taste." And guns. And more combat augs than most soldiers. C) Fight your way in This just became a smash and grab! Whoever or whatever is in there probably wouldn't mind a hail of gunfire right? MOBILITY: MAX HEAT: 75% AVAILABLE RUNTIMES: 20% Have Blue fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Sep 23, 2017 |

You see a figure hunched on the roof. Waiting for you? You can't be sure from this distance, but it looks like... Gates?
