Bergesdorf Callin' [[thinking music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGbDvjKbPhA ]] An hour later, you find yourself mercifully out of the Z-Zone and in a Harburg squat for from the soulless Hambrug skyline, a jury-rigged white noise generator pleasantly gurgling while you pore over a couple of AR maps with Olli, quartermaster-cum-commander of the east side Neo-Anarchist group. You have gone over what you know about Nationale Aktion in the city, poring over reports provided by the friendly people in antifa doxxx groups. Ruthlessly pro-white, they are also "pro-human", and thus not known to employ orc or troll muscle. Some of their boot boys could pass, though, making up the difference with 'ware. Doctrinally, they argue for bioware to 'preserve the human form', but in practice their soldiers can't afford it and are filled with ugly but hardcore muscle replacements bought from the Red Vory down Reeperbahn. That is to say, avoid melee unless you got a bigger guy. There is some overlap between HanSec employees and the known member rolls of NA( as well as other white supremacist groups), so there will be severa affinity groups watching the cop grids and attempting to jam civilians contacting the police and, failing that, ambush or distract the cop teams en route. Ollis plan is sound, at first glance. The area is located in outer Bergesdorf, and is thought to contain as many of 20 core members or prospective scum serving as guards. Sympathetic Wasserratten pirate punks out 'Ost way have developed a means of delivering an untraceable artillery barrage: Sail close to town, fire a few swarms of rocket-assisted extended-range mortar rounds, and sail off for full throttle. This makes you.. A) ..aroused. Perhaps you should ask if they have incendiary rounds to make sure the inhabitants are terrified enough to leave the building. B) ..wary, but accepting. Civilians living in a nazi HQ must necessarily be allies, they don't really keep hostages unless actively taking over an area. C) ..concerned. Raining mortar rounds at extreme range just rubs you the wrong way on account of accuracy and security of the operation. Meanwhile, you and a couple others will have infiltrated the area and parked cars and dumped trash in front of the entryways, so they can only ride out by water, where you'll sink them with an armed hovercraft, then haul rear end. This part of the plan seems.. A) Legit as hell, bring even more weapons to make sure we get them! B) Good, but lacking. They have guns as well, maybe even more crew-served guns than us. C) Too scary. Even with all your drones armed and running, which would be a mean feat with your current gear resources, taking on psycho fascists armed to the teeth is too risky - it must be able to be done in a better fashion. (Answer 1. A/B/C, then 2. A/B/C, so I can keep track of things.) Tias fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Aug 28, 2017 |

Hold on, the plan opens with shelling a civilian residential area? That risks an awful lot of 1. Collateral damage, doesn't it? 2. C because we don't seem to have good reason to believe we're dramatically better-armed than them, and if we don't catch them totally by surprise (which is quite possible, since they'll know they're under attack once the shells start landing) we'll be in trouble. What if we mined the routes we plan to funnel them into first? Of course, that risks even more collateral damage...

1. A (assuming it STAYS untraceable); 2. Ralith's extended C And let's see if we can make it blow back mainly, if not exclusively, on the NA. Easier to do if it looks like they spent their entire evening cannibalizing themselves and hunting ghosts. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Aug 28, 2017 |

Olli checks in with the bomb squad, confirming that, yes, you can have demolition on site, but it would take the form of daisy chained hand grenades, which you'd activate by commlink. Even if you could swag some frag mines, the longer you have to stay in the area before initiating the attack, the bigger the risk that a sentry or sensor will notice you, and setting a pressure mine in an urban setting takes a while.

C and B. Mortar strikes are REALLY conspicuous and over the top, and that's a lot of collateral damage and possibility of not necessarily innocent, but civilian casualties. Flushing them out into a killbox is a solid plan...as long as we assume we've got more guns than they do.

My thought on that is if you're in Shadowrun and not actively, rabidly assaulting actual Nazis with all kinds of murder at every opportunity, you're not a person. We get a free pass at the Neo-Hague or whatever.

Well...I suppose you don't go full warcrimes on the people who ACTUALLY WENT FULL WAR CRIMES because that'd be copying. Which is tacky. And there"s no room for tacky in this CYOA.

I was planning on going subtler (sort of) because all forms of proto-/post-/infopunk are best done as Battle of the Outside Context Problem All-Stars. (At least at the high levels. It's okay if your cast doesn't really engage with the high level... but this isn't that sort of story.) Also because when was the last time you knew neo-Nazis to deal with subtlety well. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Aug 30, 2017 |

Opening steps You raise the question of security, and get told off. A job this brutal needs as few sworn soldiers as possible, because you don't want any info slipping. You are issued some extra machine pistols, an AK-147U carbine, and a couple of 'Skull Slammer' homemade stun grenades for your trouble, though. The mortar barrage seems iffy, and a couple of the other soldiers also raise the issue. You're reassured that the rounds are GPS-guided and that the Wasserratten have actually cut back on the drinking while on runs. Doing the Deed After a couple of haircuts, a change in piercing jewelry and boots, you can pass for 'Neo-Nipster', the look in vogue among the alternative right in Hamburg. Still you want to be on the safe side, so you cover Olli as he patches into the public grid and, after wrangling the low-grade ICE in place, shuts off the cameras without tripping any alerts. Bergesdorf is unbelievably sad in the grey light of the afternoon: Poorly-maintained tenements stretch into the distance, with vagabonds littering the corners: Pale, white( the others have presumably been run out) things, lacking hands, feet or entire limbs, pawning them off at hospitals for money to buy food, shelter or, most often, BTL+ chips. Chipped, worn graffitti pieces by artists who actually know what they're doing have been gone over with poorly-drawn swastikas, celtic crosses and racist slogans. You stay well clear of the fash HQ, deploying two small but powerful bulldozer drones from the VW trash collection truck you rode into the neighbourhood. The others keep an eye out as you program their dog brains to compact some barricades at one end of the street, back the truck into the other, and prep your H&K 'Schäferhund' wheeled combat drone to use its mounted carbine aiming and fire selection routines, figuring you'd rather it only fires on targets you approve. Still unnoticed, you receive a soundbyte with some tool hollering "bash eggs away, chummer!", which your node recognizes as the code for mortars fired. Acting quickly, you string up the grenade bandoleers, then haul feet down the street and into the slimy waters of Bergesdorf Wasserweg A5 as you 'whistle' for the hovercraft spirited away in the distance via mental command. It chucks obediently up to your side, but focusing on your control ops, you don't notice the whistling of shells above the din of the engine and intrusive AROs from your team! WHOOOOM You come to. The first grenade clearly didn't strike the HQ, impacting on the wall behind you. Olli sinks against you, dark red blood spreading out from an injury somewhere in his abdomen. The two other kids gunning with you, Axel and Flo, seem only roughed up, but stunned from the near miss. Thinking quickly, you... A) Treat Olli on the spot, using a smart med-kit Axel has on him, yelling at the kids to cover you. The grenades should keep the fascists busy while you work. B) Limber Olli into the hovercraft, you have to be up the water for the ambush to work. Who knows if they take to water right away? C) Leave Olli to his fate. It's not personal, but the job comes first, so you can get outta dodge and not end your days in Wilhemsburg prison.

B, we've got Nazis to chase, and trying to do first aid in a polluted swamp probably isn't the best idea. Get him in the car, then slap the medpack on him. Also, of loving course their infallible GPS guided mortars that would never in a million years hurt us fell short. Crazycryodude fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Aug 31, 2017 |
