That warm and fuzzy feeling.
John Lee "Road Rash" Pettimore



The Present:

"Don't worry honey, got this covered." Its unsure if he's referring to the adept or the vehicle, but both minidrones are out the top hatch and in the air. While they get the altitude to do their thing, John keeps moving toward the target and scanning with the vehicle's sensors.

Sensor Scan 8d6 limit 3=3 hits
Drive Test (if relevant) 16d6 limit 5=3 hits
The Past

"Ah, thanks Angie," John tries not to look nervous. Usually when talking with others his range of responses was usually limited to 'mmm-hmm/yessir/mam/yup/izzatright?/real soon/daayum.' but now they expected him to make conversation with a talking head and not look like an rear end.

"As for what Ares has done for me, hell. I'm from the butt end of Missouri that no one, not the CAS, UCAS, the NANs or God himself wanted. You ever know what its like to be too poor to afford soy? CAS military let me get my degree and a rig. With Ares I've been able to pilot dozens of ground and air vehicles and lets me feel like I'm contributing back to society. I mean look at what went down in Amazonia; CAS folks and Ares guns are all that's keeping everyone from Austin to Maine being split open like a Christmas turkey at the whim of some rear end in a top hat on a pyramid."

John pauses. There's that few seconds of awkward silences that indicates he's probably hosed up again. Stories? STORIES!

"You asked for some anecdotes; well, Dallas-Ft.Worth, the various sub-cities have their own gridguide contracts, with about a half dozen different companies, that means as soon as you cross a city line, traffic just lurches and stops as it links up with the new grid. Go-gangers and Jacker gangs try to take advantage of this.

Anyways, I'm on a single lane ramp going uphill and see this mohawk'd jackass on a street racer is coming up behind me full speed. Its close corridors, help is probably at least 10 minutes out, I'm pretty worried and pissed. And then the grid shift makes the car in front of me slam to a stop."

John pauses for effect. "SUV behind me brakes just in time, lovetaps my rear bumper, but mohawk, he hits the back of it, ramps right up it, onto the top of my truck, and *foosh*" He extends his arm outward and points. "Right over the ramp and down about three stories to the streets below. I heard he got picked up by Doc Wagon, I'm presuming with a wet/dry shop vacc."

"But uh, regarding the job itself, when you're staring down through SOTA sensors as your VTOL takes off from a pad in Russia, heading over the northern ice sheet while feeling the sub-zero wind rattle off the fuselage that's plugged directly into your brain, and landing in Cuba within a few hours, well, when you've grown up eating friggen squirrel stew at least weekly, it feels like you've arrived, ya know? Ares and the CAS gave me a chance to be someone. Specifically someone who'll never have to hear the words "Pine-cone party liquors" ever again.

Total of 10 TV rating.

Your scanners hit the desert, and they pull up two small drones, rotocrafts or something, probably the work of the Firewatch team, as you head for the base. Your own minidrones pick them up, too, feeding you visuals: they're definitely Ares, heavily-armored rotodrone affairs that look to be on an automated patrol. Or, as you'd like to call it, Hurdle One. It doesn't look like they've seen you yet, so you've got a chance to make your shots count. They're maybe a kilometer out.

Well I guess I didn't sperg as hard as I thought I did.

John exhales as the sensors light up the first two targets. He radios the passengers: <Any one of you badasses feel like playing with the .50? I'm putting it on manual, feel free to pop the hatch and take a crack at the drone to the East, I got West. Fire on my signal.> Since he has a little time before they spot him, he pulls to a quick stop, takes aim, and fires a pair of shots, one at each drone.

Init 14
Using the Thunderstruck (7 (8) 15P –8 SA (18*), Semi auto burst vs Drone #1.

Inviting one of the passengers, preferably a heavy gunner if we have one, to take the HMG (ACC 5 (6) / DMG 12P / -4 AP / FA / RC 4 (18*) loaded with that -2 AP capsule ammo to take a shot at the other drone.
*Book says vehicle mounted recoil comp=vehicle's body)

(Uh, I assume that's 50 meters)

"Hmmm." John squints, feeds weren't too clear, going to have to roll with what we got. <Roman, if you wanna lug that .50 for the rest of poo poo shin-dig, feel free to take it with you. My drone will be right behind y'all. Ladies and Gents, I suggest you stack up by the garage doors due south because the second the main assault hits this building's going to get a new rear end in a top hat.> John circles around to get enough distance to build up speed and as soon as Alpha 1 moves for the door the sound of the engine roars in from the west. He lays on the horn since you know, he isn't trying to actually kill them.

Crash through garage doors, and hopefully getting into the building proper. Subjegator heads in with Alpha 2.

<A'ight, got y'alls back.> John focusses for a bit before slumping in his seat. He didn't like drones but they told him he had a rig, so now he did drones. He wasn't risking his brain for this though, and keeps his mental filter on as the subjectagor follows the team in. He keeps the spy drones hovering around over the truck in case someone tried to sneak up while he's comatose.

4hits with the laser on the lock, since its stationary. Security doors are Structure 8, Armor 12. Laser is -11ap with damage 5. with net hits that's 8 damage vs 8 structure

Winding the way out of the burst of gunfire at the last microsecond, John winces and pulls the airdrone back, waiting as Alpha 2 pushes forward.

(Drone dodging: Edged rolls of 5 + 1= 6 hits, no hit.

I can't do a lot here until A2 clears that hallway, so staying put for the moment.)

There ain't a whole hell of a lot to do in this corridor, considerin the squad in front of him, and he can't use lethal force. Still, they seem to be dropping left and right. <Alpha 2, standby, can you flash those guys, I got me an idea.> The subjectgator whizzes to the front.

Dunno how quickly I can do this or how to mechanically do this, but moving the drone to the nearest Firewatch guy and ramming him with it full force to distract him or something. If the drone is going dumpshock me if it gets injured, switching to AR from coldsim first
