"Julie, stand your ground!" You yell.

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Julie grunts as she brings her shield forward and plants it solidly on the ground like a medieval warrior of old.

The Idol Killer vaults forward and leaps in the air, slamming into the shield with both of his legs. Julie strains against the sudden force.

>>32929700
Julie tries to stand firm but it's just too much for even her to handle. Julie is sent flying back and is caught by Cole and Melissa. Rochelle tries to aim her rifle over them and get a clear shot at the Idol Killer.

The Killer seems to realize his situation and quickly twists around and sprints for the balcony, smashing through the sliding glass door and leaping over the rail.

"Shit!" Rochelle curses as she pushes past her fellow idols and rushes to the balcony. K-Zwolf follows close behind. From her feed, you can see the Killer has dropped down to the balcony below, and is systematically dropping down from balcony to balcony in an effort escape.

"Shit! We need to go after him!" Rochelle pulls out her rappel line and clamps to the rail.

"Hey guys, I got incoming!" Heartlancer warns. "Armed thugs. Lots of them headed this way!"

That wasn't good. If you had your idols rappel after the Killer, you'd need at least a few to stay behind to protect the rappel lines. Or you could have all the idols stick together and fight their way out of the building, but then the Killer could escape.

"Hillman, can you use the VTOL to keep track of him?" You ask.

"Well, I know how to take off, land, and fly level, but advanced maneuvers are a bit beyond me." Hillman admits.

"If I may." NEMO chimes. "I'm rated to fly a VTOL craft. of up to Class 5. If you install me into the VTOL, I will be able to pilot it directly."

While it was tempting, that meant putting a lot of trust into an untested AI.

"All right. Stig, plug NEMO into the VTOL and we'll have her tail the Killer. Everybody else, focus on evacing the building!" You order.

Stig immediately pops the hood on the SUV and yanks NEMO's core out of the engine. He then dashes over the VTOL and inserts it into the control panel. The VTOL's lights come on and the engine hums to life.

"All right, NEMO is moving out." The AI cheerfully announces. "Acquiring target!"

The VTOL flies off to track the Killer. As it does so, you return your attention to the idols.

"Rochelle, what's your status?"

"We're pinned at the moment!" Rochelle responds over the sound of gunfire. "We can probably break through, but we need an exit strategy!"

"I got the map!" Shadowblade pipes up. "We got two options. We can the take the stairs, or the elevator. I'm pretty sure I can override the elevator controls, but it might take a minute or two."

"Or we could just take the stairs. No hacking involved." Cole points out.

You can always shoot your way out of a bad spot on stairs but with everyone being trapped in a elevator... Well it doesn't take a many braincells to just drop some explosives down it and have a full TPK.

>>32930291
And being trapped inside of an elevator isn't cornered. Yeah, sure...

>>32930294

"Got it." Melissa nods.

"Everyone else, stick close to Julie, but don't bunch up. I don't want a stray grenade taking us all out! Let's go!"

Melissa leans out the door and unleashes a burst of MG fire down the hall to suppress the hostiles down that way, while at the same time Julie breaks cover and pushes forward down the opposite end of the hall with her shield raised.

Julie continues barreling forward, not even phased by the storm of gunfire coming her way as the bullets plink uselessly off her shield. Once Julie got close enough to the hostiles, K-Zwolf leaped over her head and directly into the midst of them, scattering their formation and making them easy pickings for the idols. K-Zwolf accounts for two hostiles, crushing one's chest at it lands him, and lashing its bladed tail out and slicing open another man's throat. Julie shield bashes a another man with a sickening CRUNCH that even you could hear. The rest take out the stragglers with quick, drilled efficiency.

Meanwhile Melissa's continuous MG fire manages to hit its mark, ripping a hostile to shreds and causing his buddies to fall back.

For now, your idols were in the clear.

"Proceed with caution. No telling what they've got waiting for you in the stairwell." You warn.

"I know." Rochelle nods. "K-Zwolf, you scout ahead, make sure nobody is waiting for us on the lower levels. Julie, you'll be right behind him. Melissa, you'll remain as rearguard, got it?"

"AFFIRMATIVE." K-Zwolf rumbles.

"Got it." Melissa nods.

You then switch your attention back to NEMO, who is still tracking the Killer. At this point, he's already dropped down to the 30th floor and still going. However, you notice his pace is slowing down. Even with augmetics, this sort of physical activity had to be straining his body. Maybe your idols had a chance of keeping up with him, after all.

"Warning! My visual sensors have detected armed hostiles." NEMO chimes.

Indeed, you can see some gunmen appearing on the balconies and pointing at the VTOL. That wasn't good. NEMO could always back off, but then there was a greater risk she'd lose track of the Killer.

"Go evasive and try to stick with the Killer as best you can, NEMO." You say.

"Affirmative!"

"You know, that VTOL is Zenith property." Hillman grumbles.

"Don't worry, if there's any damage, we'll compensate you for it." You assure him.

"I hope so."

You see sporadic gunfire lancing out at the VTOL, but NEMO manages to expertly weave and dodge to ensure that she's not hit. It's amazing really, since the speed she was moving, you doubted any human was capable of matching her moves. The sudden course corrections and unpredictable flight path didn't seem like anything a normal human could match.

And all the while, NEMO kept her camera focused solely on the Killer as he descended the building.

"So, has your opinion of her changed?" You nudge Stig.

Stig just shrugs.

Chuckling, you check back on your idols.

"Rochelle, what's your progress?"

"We're halfway down." Rochelle says. "K-Zwolf's done a good job intercepting anybody trying to cut us off, but there's a ton of bad guys a couple stories above us and it's a chore keeping ahead of them."

"Well, at least you're going DOWN the stairs."

"Yeah." Rochelle chuckles lightly. "Could be worse."

"Hey, quit flirting with Producer and help me out here!" Cole grunts as she fires her gun skywards."

Sadly, I'm leaning on the former over the latter.

>>32931701
And on the other side of the door, you see what has to be six Jacks standing guard in the garage. There's the screeching of rubber as Stig pulls into the garage at high speed, drawing the Jacks' attention and they start pumping automatic fire into the SUV. The vehicle barrels past the stairwell and loops around the relative safety of a corner. You knew Stig wouldn't be able to safely extract the idols as long as those guards were there.

The firefight is short but brutal. Within seconds, all six guards are cut down with accurate gunfire. Julie even manages to score an impressive headshot with her pistol. K-Zwolf lunges forward and tears the throat of the last guard out with no mercy.

However, the guards didn't go down with a fight, and they managed to return fire. While most of it was inaccurate, some of it wasn't.

Why, because we shoot up an apartment block, doling out what could amount to vigilante justice in the effort to kill someone who takes out media starlets?

I'd be more inclined to say we'd be heralded as fucking heroes---if not by hte cops, then by the people.

Also we really need to get in touch with a photographer to secure our girls some photo ops and a bit of modeling.

>>32932374
On the other hand, taking down the idol killer would probably net us favor from the other companies.

Worst case, of course, is blowing it after all this.

>>32932374
Probably. Might get off set by removing the Idol killer menace from the streets.

>>32932424
No, worst case is those Rose fuckers stealing away the Killer.

Fortunately for Julie, her shield protects her from what would have otherwise been a very nasty burst of gunfire, with the bullets harmlessly bouncing off the reinforced surface. Rochelle catches a burst to her shoulder and she winces in pain.

"Medic!" Melissa calls out.

Monarch is already rushing forward to check the hit as Stig brings the SUV back around to pick them up.

"How bad is it?" Rochelle asks, scowling.

"Didn't get through the armor, thankfully." Monarch pats Rochelle on the shoulder. Unfortunately, it was the injured one.

"Agh!"

"Ohmygosh I'm sorry!" Monarch apologizes profusely.

Stig honks the horn to tell the idols to get into the damn SUV already. The girls pile in, cramming themselves in tight since the SUV could barely hold all of them plus equipment. Stig then hits the accelerator and speeds for the exit. However, up ahead, you see the garage's security gate slowly closing. The Jacks were going try and trap you down here!

"Shit, what do we do?" Julie grunts.

"I can try hacking the gate, but I need some time, and cover, for that." Shadowblade says.

"I could just zap it and see what happens." Cole grunts.

Or, there was the obvious solution in just ramming the gate down.

Not very effective...

>>32932750
It was very effective... At wasting sparks.

Curryanon's idea kinda sounds like a silver age superhero origin story.

Cole's an electromancer can control electricity to an extent. If she was just an empty shell, and our minds are essentially chemical and electric signals; how do you think she got a conscious?

Perhaps what created the spark of life was just an innocent shock of static electricity, or a freak lightning storm that caused a huge power surge to flow into her. The powers then subconsciously reacted to the stimuli, and began making connections through her entire nervous system, as well as the neurons in her brain in order to protect itself from being electrocuted; this could possibly jumpstart her mind and fry any nanomachines in her head which were essentially lobotomizing her for easier Direct Control.

It leaves potential for a big plot arc further on down the road and I may or may not writefag a little something using the idea as a springboard.

>>32932853
Can we order our sniper to try to take out his legs or something? I'm fairly certain we've got EMP shots for the Teleconference.

Of course, she may be on the wrong side of the building.

>>32932897
The SUV's engine would be wrecked on busting the radiator ramming the gate. Should sparky just BLOW the gate open?

>>32932927

>>32932925
Again, Morgan is not here. There for the Teleconference is not here. And the other sniper we do have is in the SUV.

If we had Sparky, we wouldn't even be arguing about this.

>>32932892
Well there was that one time she jammed the Harbringer, but we didn't need to roll for that. Might give her some IC motivation to apply herself to learning more about her powers and how to use them.

>>32932897
Or the armored SUV does its job and goes through the fucker like a knife through butter. Besides I am not sure how well hacking would work if we fried the motors in the gate.

>>32932927
She isn't here.

>>32932971
Which is why we should have gone with hacking first then brute force after. But no, of course not. Silly of me to think people would think this through.

"Buckle up, everyone!" You warn.

There's the loud clicking of seat belts all throughout the car.

"Really, girls? I have to tell you all to do that?" You sigh.

The entire SUV is jolt and it rams right into the chain link gate, literally ripping it from its frame as the SUV keeps barreling forward. Melissa then leans out the window and uses her augmetic arm to grab the remains of the gate wrapped around the front of the SUV and pulls it off.

"Um, guys, I don't what the hell you guys are doing out here, but you've got every cop in the District zeroing in on your position." Himawari warns. "Whatever you're doing, you better do it fast before the fuzz busts you."

At that moment, the Killer drops down on the ground in front of the SUV and takes off down the street. Stig wheels the SUV around, but it can barely keep up with the augmented individual.

Well, you could try taking him alive, or you could just totally waste him.

Cole fires off a bolt of lightning, but the Killer manages to duck it and the bolt instead hits a nearby light post, causing it to explode. Kaleidoscope, meanwhile, is more accurate with her shot. You see the Killer's left shoulder explode in a cloud of metal and synthetic blood and muscle, causing him to stumble and roll on the ground. However, even now, you can tell he was merely slowed down, not fully disabled.
