INHUMAN Rebooted — Chapter 1: A Common Cause

[blazerblock2]

     Daniel grabs a handful of hair from his head, pulling it out, "stuff, stuff stuff," he began to repeat to himself, looking for a way out that wasn't through the front where they'd be seen.

[Ad Bot]

[SWAT One]

Should Norum find no way to escape, he would run towards the nearest alley away from the main building and urge the others to follow.

[Mr. Hurricane]

    Daniel turns to Norum and Ryde, an alarmed look on his face, "There's an improvised bomb here," he said, and began to jog over to the two, keeping an eye on the explosive.

"Leave it! This place is lost." He waits for Daniel to arrive before saying in a softer tone, "We need to get out of here, now!"

Norum looks around quickly for the subway station which they came through, a route to it, of in unsuccessful, a nearby building, alley or even a container they could hide in.

A police skycar races overhead. It banks and begins to come back around.

The subway station is nearly a mile away. There are alleys available to escape into the mass warehouses and light industrial buildings. There are dumpsters in the alley as well.

"Well, I'm not a complete piece of stuff so I think I'll pass on the opportunity to smash random people's things for money."

There's a silence for a moment.

"Hmm. I'll keep that in mind. Anything else you can do?"

[blazerblock2]

     Daniel takes the initiative and races off into an alleyway, attempting to hide himself in the dark recesses of the industrial block.

[SWAT One]

"forget."

Norum follows Daniel without hesitation at a full sprint. While running, he takes his flask out of his bag, flips the safety on his pistol back on and also tucks it into his bag.

When he should arrive back in the alleyway, he would unscrew the flask of rum, put it to his mouth, swish it about and swallow, splash some on himself, and invite Daniel to do the same.

"Take a swig and splash some on yourself. Try to look disheveled and asleep in the corner. Save some for Ryde."

[blazerblock2]

     Daniel turned to face Norum, furrowing his brow and looking at the man like he was mad.  After a split-second thought, he realized Norum's genius and followed suit and took a quick swig, and applied it as though it were after-shave.  He capped the bottle and tossed it back to Norum.  He took his jacket off and dropped to the corner, where he covered himself with the jacket like it were a blanket.

[SWAT One]

Norum catches the flask and joins Daniel in the corner, gathering any soft materials around them such as old newspapers and such to act as a primitive nest and set his jacket over himself like a blanket, tucking his flask and bag under the jacket, waiting for whenever Ryde would catch up.

Once he's set, he inhales deeply and exhales slowly to try to balance his breathing and heart rate, and pulls his hat over his eyes, and then whispers to the new faux bum next to him. "Should we be ready for them?", he asks, reaching into his bag, his hands wrapping around the grip of his 159, thumb flicking back the safety and index finger resting on the side of the gun.

[Qwepir]

There's a silence for a moment.

"Hmm. I'll keep that in mind. Anything else you can do?"

"Dunno. Thought I'd be beating the stuff out of the doctor by now. I guess if you know of anyone even worse than you who deserves to have their head caved in then let me know."

[blazerblock2]

     Daniel nods at Norum, tucking his arm behind his back and grabbing his pistol, ready to go at a moment's notice.

[Tayasaurus]

Amanda pushes the door open and reveals herself to the vagrant immediately.

"Hello."

[SWAT One]

Norum slowly pulls the pistol out from the bag and places it at his hip, pointed at the alley entrance. He then leans back to act asleep, placing the hat over the top of his face, save for below his eyes, so he could see what was going on.

The three of you take cover.

You hear a bang and a woosh echo from the warehouse building. The police skycar comes back around. The three of you may begin to feel that the situation is going to get a whole lot worse. The other alleyways are ostensibly clear, and the industrial park is dead at this time of the evening.

"Dunno. Thought I'd be beating the stuff out of the doctor by now. I guess if you know of anyone even worse than you who deserves to have their head caved in then let me know."

"I thought we'd have got him too. I'll let you know,"

Elena's voice is again sympathetic.

Amanda pushes the door open and reveals herself to the vagrant immediately.

"Hello."

The man yelps and drops his glass pipe. It shatters.

"ROGUE!" the vagrant screams.

He jumps to his feet unsteadily. His eyes are bloodshot and the chemical odor is overwhelming. He grabs his trashbag of stolen goods and stares at Amanda with nothing but fear in his eyes. The man seems to believe you're a rouge AI.

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde is tagging along with the two, splashing some alcohol and drinking a little once it comes back to him. He does the same as Norum and flicks the safety off his weapon, shoving it back on once it is.

[SWAT One]

Norum glances over at Ryde and Daniel, the looks to see if they are by any Express ladders or anything that would allow them to climb out of this.

     Daniel had run a few dozen yards down the street from the warehouse before tucking into an alleyway.
