INHUMAN Rebooted — Chapter 1: A Common Cause

[Mr. Hurricane]

Ryde ducks, and bolts to the car, hopping into the back passenger's seat and ducking under the window.

You hop in the car.

Nevada fires on the three by the van with a suppressive burst.

In spite of all conventional wisdom, despite all of Elena's stinging jokes and years of torment by his peers, despite his squat stature, the foot courier who is perpetually loaded, who gets carded at every bar, can't reach the top shelf and looks like he needs a booster seat manages to outrun and lose a ricemobile driven by an experienced illegal streetracer in Elena's orange diesel-electric jalopy.

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde looks shocked at the display, looking behind them to see if the criminals are chasing them

[SWAT One]

Norum's eye's remain wide open. "Did... Did I just do that?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Moving right along.


The three of you return to Dan's apartment. The news that you guys got stuck up and that Elena was killed has makes him beyond anxious. He is twitching pretty violently and having a spaz about not being able to supply his dealers or pay his superiors.

The place is as much of a wreck as Norum and Ryde, although the building and layout are different they understand the the place to be Dan's apartment.

To Nevada, Dan is a scrawny man with shoulder length hair, goatee, and reddened eyes. He wears plad pajama bottoms, a worn, stained and holed ROBOBURGER® Home of the $50 Ready and Hot™ Classic Autoburger™ Combo and a faded beige, stained and cigarette burnt bath robe. His apartment smells like burnt drain cleaner.

Dan grabs a joint and lights it to try to mellow himself out. He takes several huge hits. Something seems off about Dan's arm though, as it looks like its been augmented.

He rests his hand on the table and talks to the group, looking nervously between them and the front door.

"I'll be fine, I'll be fine... You guys might want to patch up,"

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde nods and tries to find something or someone to patch him up.

[SWAT One]

Norum also goes and tries to find medical supplies to heal up. Mid-search from the other room, he shouts, "Like what you did with the place, man."

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Like what you did with the place, man."

"Thanks. Had to clean up a bit for a building inspection,"

Ryde nods and tries to find something or someone to patch him up.

Norum also goes and tries to find medical supplies to heal up.

In Dan's apartment there's no shortage of needles and syringes, but it is unknown if they are clean. There is no gauze or identifiable pain medicine. Nevada makes the contents of her medical kit available.


Norum's INT: 30
Just for this roll you're trained in Medicae, +/-0
Healing non critical wounds in the field, +/-0
Test taken at 30
Roll: 53
Test Failed


You staunch the bleeding and bandage the wounds, but your arm isn't quiet what it used to be. Feels like you're sleeping on it. You'll need to rest to heal the wound.


Ryde's INT: 34
Just for this roll you're trained in Medicae, +/-0
Healing non critical wounds in the field, +/-0
Test taken at 34
Roll: 67
Test Failed


You find that you are unable to heal augments. You use the forceps to clip back any haptic feedback and touch sensor wires that were cut and causing pain when they receive a static charge. You'll need a technician to repair or replace the limb.


The androgynous figure manifests itself to the group.

"Priority message received, from: Elena Adler. Readback as follows: 'Police to raid Dan's apartment. They'll be coming through the door. Get ready,' Readback stop."

[Operator¹]

"I'll try to fix them if we aren't dead in the next couple of minutes."

Nevada readies her shield and mounts it to her non-MG arm.

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde looks around Dans apartment for any sturdy cover.

[Mr. Hurricane]

"Priority message received, from: Elena Adler. Readback as follows: 'That is, you have ten minutes until they come through the door. They've already staked the place out. Running will result in a chase. They'll have a Semiautonomous Police Unit as a breacher. They're giving Dan the standard drug dealer raid, not the big no-holds-barred drug kingpin one. You will only be outnumbered two to one, but I think the chances are good for you if you prepare properly. If you guys break them I have another job for you, it's going to win the war. I can offer no further technical assistance at this time,' Readback stop."

This is a mockup to Dan's appartment, inhabited by Dan Price, drug dealer, Cactus (cannabis stavia) and Weed (lophophora williamsii).

Thick walls, appliances, and the bar counter provide 6 cover points.

Thin walls, heavy furniture such as the couch and the chair and standing closet provide 4 points of cover, as well as the front door.

All other doors and light furniture count for no bonus points of cover.

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde looks to the couch, and motions Norum to come over to help him out, going in front of the couch to try to push it in front of the door.

[SWAT One]

"What—wait hang on a sec..."

Norum checks if the door handle can go up and down, or if it can go in only one direction. (Omnidirectional per GM)

Norum takes out a frag grenade. "We can rig this things pin to the door handle. We could take cover behind walls and other barriers and make the terrain in general hard to traverse in this direction."

"What you think?"

[Agent Legit 22]

Ryde stops moving the couch. "Okay, got it.", he says, moving the couch a few meters next to the door, which makes it act as cover from any grenade fragmentations. He puts the liqueur fridge and the Coffee table in front of the couch to act as a barrier to future oncoming bullets and shrapnel.

[SWAT One]

Norum walks over to the bathroom, "Hey Dan. You're not expecting anyone else, are you?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Norum walks over to the bathroom, "Hey Dan. You're not expecting anyone else, are you?"

"forget off man, forget off! Everything's forgeted, nothing's going to get loving better and I'm going to be forgeted around in loving prison for loving years over this loving bullstuff god loving damnit!"

Norum is compelled to return to his position by the feeling that the cops are near.


You hear shuffling outside and something jostling the door.

"THIS IS THE POLICE, WE ARE COMING THROUGH THE DOOR. GET ON THE GROUND WITH YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD."

Half a second later, the Semiautomatic Police Unit rams the door open. It advances behind a ballistic shield, with a NT-9A drawn and ram slung under its arm.

Second through the door is the SWAT Officer, third is Rhodie Guarda 2.

The SAPU fires first, shooting at Ryde.

And is going to tear up the wall next to her.


The last two Guardas are in the doorway.

Dispositions:

The SAPU and the SWAT Officer fire on Ryde. Four shots will land on Ryde's body, but his body is protected by cover.

Rhodie Guarda 2 is missing his shot against Nevada.

The police have not noticed the grenade. The grenade will explode at the end of the Police turn.

Damage will be resolved all at once after the players take their shots. You can either shoot or attempt to dodge. There is no moving this turn.
