<Aphex_> You’re all currently on a private Foundation passenger jet circling a small runway Boshrouyeh, Iran- the time is 0700 hours (7am) Local. The brief from the previous day has detailed your goal; find the reported anomalous target and secure. This should be a simple retrieval mission- get in, get out, get home in time for lunch. You all will touch down in about 5 minutes following approval from the ATC tower below; during this time
<Aphex_> , you may plan, talk, or do whatever you wish within reason.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri's dressed for the occasion, in lighter cargos and a short-sleeved jungle BDU jacket beneath his heavy plates. He looks at the mission file that would, presumably, have been distributed while on the plane, trying to get a better idea of where they're going, who they're after, and what they're up against.
<War_> Kaari is there, mostly just checking over her weapons she hauled along with her.
<Odocoileus> Tally is also there going over her gear and is wearing her cat suit already just in case.
<madness_> Jerry would look over the files first as well. He's in a button up shirt and jeans, rifle slung over his shoulder and a drop leg holster hugging high and tight on his leg. "Anyone know the language?"
<TeslaTornado> "I know Russian," Snorri says ambivalently. "That might get us somewhere."
<Soulless> Joshua is quiet.
<Soulless> He goes for a smoke.
<Odocoileus> "unfortunately I do not speak the language." She says as she adjusts a strap.
<Soulless> In the bathroom, if he can.
<Aphex_> Your pilot and co-pilot eventually signal the all clear, and you begin the descent to the local runway. Following touchdown, you are all given a final brief regarding all stages of the operation: Stage 1, find the target, Amjad Naseer, an adolescent in the area. Stage 2, contain the target and maintain cover. You are suggested to keep any created cover story straight. You are also advised twice to maintain consistent radio
<Aphex_> contact with one another on a local net.
<Aphex_> Joshua is able to go smoke. He will be contacted.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri gets out his radio, and tunes it to the specified channel.
<madness_> "What's our play? Expats, federal agents, or something else?"
<TeslaTornado> "If none of us speak the language, extradition is a possible cover."
<TeslaTornado> He rubs the side of his head. "Could also attempt to pass as Soviet special operations, or mercenaries."
<Aphex_> You all have radios currently tuned to 140.15.
<Soulless> Joshua heads out. He doesn't say anything.
<War_> "Well, I am definitely not a speaker of it."
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks for a write-up on Naseer in the mission brief.
<TeslaTornado> Political affiliations, arrest histories, a previous criminal record, anything of the sort.
<Soulless> "Expats might be our best bet."
<Aphex_> Not much to say about Naseer in the files. Young boy, about 16 or so, lives in the Zafarani village on the border of Iran and Iraq. Oh boy.
<Soulless> "We'll… be meeting a translator."
<Odocoileus> "thank goodness."
<Soulless> "Also, let's be careful… if someone knows where these are, other entities might."
<Soulless> "We might have competition."
<TeslaTornado> "… Oh good." Is there anything in the brief about recent fighting in the area of Zafarani village?
<War_> "We might have bigger problems…"
<Aphex_> Once you're all ready to go, you'll get your transport out to Zafarani. Nothing to note, oddly enough, outside of the occasional scuffle here and there on the edge of the village.
<TeslaTornado> And any reports of foreign incursions into the area? Or is it mostly minor skirmishes and border disputes?
<Aphex_> Border disputes primarily, but it seems mostly quiet according to the notes Recon has made.
<TeslaTornado> "Okay. Expatriates attempting to black-bag someone. Do we start any kind of chaos as a cover for extraction, or try to keep quiet?"
<madness_> "Right." Jerry looks for info on Foundation safehouses or caches nearby. "It's going to be hard to keep a low profile." He would have requested the Foundation include gifts for the elders of the village post-brief. Were any brought along?
<Aphex_> The Foundation generously donated funds, arms, and power to the village. No caches of any sort that aren't in high risk areas.
<madness_> Under what banner did they do so?
<Aphex_> Apparently they pulled a few strings with the CIA.
<Aphex_> Not the front CIA, the honest-to-god-real Central Intelligence Agency.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri crosses his arms and slowly rolls his head side-to-side. "Do we have vehicle for extraction, or are we running him out of the village? If things get too complicated, it may be of use to have car waiting."
<Aphex_> As the brief notes, you can call in Exfil. Their callsign is Ishmael.
<TeslaTornado> "Okay. So." Snorri looks to Jerry with his eyebrows raised. "Do we have plan worked out for once we are in village, or is it time to improvise?"
<madness_> "We had the gifts delivered by the CIA. We can get by with a cover story of being employed by them and the translator could help us talk to the elders, I think. What's our story for the boy? Or are we just going to say we need to talk to him and then take him with us?"
<Aphex_> Eventually, after a shorter jaunt via helicopter, you all make it to Zafarani- or more approximately, 2km outside of Zafarani. You all walk towards the village, first going through a large, crowded market just outside of area. There’s plenty of chatter amongst buyers and vendors, and even random passers-by; most of it, unless you understand Farsi, is unknown word. The village itself- located in a valley- is actually fairly larg
<Aphex_> e for what it is, though still quite small given its’ contemporaries.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri grimaces at the idea of being stuck in the bottom of a valley. Plenty of real estate for hostile snipers or long-range troops to easily place rounds inside the village, and Snorri doesn't like the thought of fighting uphill.
<TeslaTornado> "CIA operatives are extraditing child as political prisoner; maybe we say he is extended relation of important figure in the area?"
<Soulless> "We… Sure."
<TeslaTornado> "If nothing else, saying we are from CIA - eh?"
<War_> "It sounds convincing enough. I think."
<Aphex_> Joshua, roll PERC.
<Odocoileus> Tally sticks close to Jerry and keeps a look out for anything suspicious.
<madness_> "Alright. Where's our interpreter supposed to meet us?"
<Aphex_> Okay, Jerry, you roll PERC instead.

<Glacon> madness_: (+2 if ambush) PERCEPTION: 4 (4df+4=0, -, +, 0)
<Aphex_> As you walk through the market, Jurgen, you get distracted by all the noise and movement you typically keep track of- you nearly collide with an older gentleman who looks to be in his mid-60s, but manage to just-frame dodge. He's wearing fairly typical farmer's attire, if you look at him as you pass.
<Aphex_> It sure would be rude not to say sorry, wouldn't it?
<madness_> "Sorry," He smiles at the older gentleman, facing him as he moves past. "Crowded place."

<Glacon> Soulless: perc: 8 (4df+5=+, +, 0, +)
<Aphex_> The old man squints at you, Jurgen. "Just be careful." He huffs in English with a thick Farsi accent. "…Americans."
<Aphex_> Joshua, you managed to totally avoid the old English-speaking farmer earlier.
- Hankolijo has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
<madness_> Is there a codeword/phrase to identify the terp or..?
<Aphex_> Nothing.
<Aphex_> Hell, the brief didn't even mention an interpreter.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri blinks.
<madness_> He keeps an eye on the farmer and walks up to Joshua. "What's the interpreter's name? Can't remember the brief."
<War_> "Was. Was an interpreter mentioned in our brief?"
<TeslaTornado> Snorri shakes his head. "It was not."
<Soulless> Joshua is quiet, then he smiles to the Farsi fellow. "Hey there. Nice to meet you." He offers…
<Odocoileus> Tally just says quietly behind.
<Soulless> 4df+6 (+2 if no one else is trained in History) … an appropriate greeting based on what he knows of social norms in this geographic area!
<Glacon> Soulless: (+2 if no one else is trained in History) … an appropriate greeting based on what he knows of social norms in this geographic area!: 7 (4df+6=+, -, 0, +)
<War_> Kaari is squinting at the rest of her team now.
<Soulless> Joshua explicitly ignores Jerry, in a very uncomfortable, obvious way.
<Aphex_> He looks at you quizzically, Joshua. "Good to meet you. What is it that you want? You Americans always want something."
<TeslaTornado> Snorri drifts back toward Jerry with a puzzled, mildly uncomfortable expression.
<Odocoileus> Tally seems a bit uncomfortable being called American and crosses her arms.
<Soulless> "We uh, cannot speak the native language here. Could we ask you stand in for us? We have need to speak with a family from here."
<Aphex_> Everyone else in the Market is beginning to take notice of you all. Smaller children are being escorted away by parents and grandparents, some of the vendors are already closing up.
<War_> Kaari is also quite offended at the 'American' blanket term. Doesn't much show it though.
<Odocoileus> Tally scans the area for anything that looks suspicious as people pack up and leave.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks considerably more uncomfortable about the market rapidly closing up shop around them.
<Aphex_> "I can speak for you, but I want something in return."
<TeslaTornado> The Cowboys are in town.
<TeslaTornado> And it shows.
<Soulless> "Yes. What would you like?"
<madness_> Jerry looks at Snorri, shrugs, equal in level of confusion.
<Aphex_> "You give me contacts with your superior, yes?"
<madness_> "Sure. How would you want to be contacted?"
<TeslaTornado> Snorri just stands there, looking progressively more antsy.

<Aphex_> Snorri, you don
<Aphex_> *don't notice too much outside of the quickly leaving crowds.
<War_> Kaari is giving Joshua a sus af look
<Aphex_> Plenty of people are still out, of course, but there are quite a few people missing from your first step into the place.
<madness_> "If you can give us number amounts, we can supply you with what you need. Is there some place we can talk in private?"
<Aphex_> "No, no, I've taken one American in already and he caused enough trouble. You promise me this contact, and I will talk for you."
<Odocoileus> 4df+5 (perc) Tally keeps her eyes peeled as well and stands near snorri.
<Glacon> Odocoileus: (perc) Tally keeps her eyes peeled as well and stands near snorri.: 7 (4df+5=+, 0, 0, +)
<Aphex_> Tallulah, you note some movement up on a nearby ridge to your('s and Snorri's) 2 o'clock.
<Aphex_> "Do we have a deal?
<Aphex_> "
<Odocoileus> She nudges snorri and nods to movements.
<Aphex_> Movement is gone now.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri, as indicated, doesn't notice the movements. But he keeps note of the ridge's position relative to their current location, and leans forward toward Jerry.
<madness_> "An American before us? Who?" Jerry casts a wary glance on their surroundings. "Yes, we have a deal." He looks back to Snorri.
<TeslaTornado> "There is movement on ridge to our two," he says, softly, in English. "We should keep out of sight of that position."
<Aphex_> It was quick, just something peripheral. The Farmer just looks to Joshua with a shrewd look- quite the businessman.
<Odocoileus> Tally is on very high alert now and keeps her eyes peeled.
<Soulless> Joshua nods.
<Soulless> "In America, we shake hands."
<Soulless> He offers his hand. "To signify a deal has been agreed upon."
<madness_> "We're on a timer, sir. Is there a chance you can help us right now with our predicament? We are looking for a boy and need to transport him immediately." May he roll PERS?
<Aphex_> "I am no idiot, mister." He shakes the hand, turning his head to Jerry. "Of course. So, what family is it you are looking for? This boy has a name, yes?"
<madness_> If there is one, he hands a copy of the boy's photo over to the man. The boy's name would be written on the back. If not, a name from his notepad would be what he shows.
<Aphex_> "Ah, this one." He pauses. Nods. "There was some police men looking for him. I will go ask. Come, follow." He starts off down the road, further into the village.
<madness_> "Does anyone know why?"
<Aphex_> "The men said he was wanted for something. I was not told what that something was, but they were very pressing."
<War_> Kaari moves to follow.
<Odocoileus> Tally follow!
<Aphex_> You all eventually make it to a two-story house- one connected to others like it, as is typical of this area. The Farmer knocks on the door, and says something to the occupants in Farsi.
<madness_> "What happened to them? Did anyone else try to ask about the boy?" Jerry walks alongside the Farmer.
<Aphex_> A woman steps out, looking emotionally wrecked. She starts talking to the Farmer, eyeing you all with a serious degree of suspicion.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri's face is indifferent.
<TeslaTornado> He's content to let others do the talking.
<Aphex_> The old man turns to Jerry. "They walked off, that was the last I heard of them. Do you have any questions for the boy's mother?" He gestures to the woman in front of you all.
<War_> Kaari is standing at the back of the group, keeping an eye out and looking vaguely suspicious but otherwise unbothered.
<TeslaTornado> "Why does she look like someone stabbed her dog?"
<madness_> "Ask her what's wrong."
<madness_> "Please."
<Aphex_> PERC, Kaari.
<Aphex_> "I already did. The boy is missing, likely ran off in the nighttime."
<madness_> "Does he have any friends? Has anyone else come to see her? If so, what did they look like?"
<War_> 4df+4 owo
<Glacon> War_: owo: 3 (4df+4=0, 0, -, 0)

<Aphex_> You don't notice anything Kaari.
<TeslaTornado> "Also, the policemen - what did they look like, and where did they go?"
<Odocoileus> Tally looks around the room for anything that looks to be quickly hidden away or anything weird.
<Aphex_> The old man and the woman chatter. "She says a military man came, asked her about the boy. He wasn't here at the time. Looks like us and spoke Farsi."
<Aphex_> "She doesn't know of any friends of his, also not sure where the military man went."
<Soulless> 4df+5 perc Joshua keeps a lookout.
<Glacon> Soulless: perc Joshua keeps a lookout.: 3 (4df+5=-, -, +, -)
<Aphex_> Tally, you're hanging out on some lady's doorstep, so it's likely nothing is hidden or weird. PERC if you want to look into their hallway though.
<Aphex_> You also spot nothing, Joshua.
<Soulless> "Does she know where her son is now?"
<madness_> "Were there places he liked to hang out?"
<Aphex_> "Missing means she has no idea where the boy might be."
<Odocoileus> 4df+5 she look
<Glacon> Odocoileus: she look: 5 (4df+5=+, -, +, -)
<Aphex_> The farmer asks a few more questions. Tallulah, you don't find anything out of the ordinary because nothing was weird in the first place.
<Aphex_> "She let the boy live his own life. My guess is that he would be in the market or up on the hills somewhere. Most boys do that here."
<Aphex_> PERC, all.

<Odocoileus> Tally rushes back out and looks around at the commotion while behind cover so no one can see that she is peepin.
<Aphex_> The market is totally open air Tallulah. You can either look or hide.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks down at the market.
<Odocoileus> She look
<madness_> "Hold that thought. Kaari, Joshua, you mind staying with the terp?"
<War_> She sideglances at Joshua. "I guess?"
<Aphex_> If you head to the market, go to #Homeimprovement2 ; otherwise, stay here.
<madness_> "Sno, let's check it out."
<TeslaTornado> Snorri nods and heads on down to the marketplace.
<Aphex_> "Wait, where are they going?" The farmer asks you both.
<War_> "Fuck if I know. Maybe they heard something."
<Soulless> "Sure."
<Aphex_> "Do all of you Americans run off like mad?" He makes a noise of exasperation, thanks the woman for her time, then turns to you both. "Well, now what?"
<Soulless> "What can you tell me about your son?"
<War_> "I am not even American. Maybe that is why I am still here."
<Aphex_> "My son? What about my son?! You mean that boy you are all looking for?" He questions. "My son is at home, tending to the sheep."
<War_> Kaari is giving Joshua a serious Look™
<Soulless> "Sorry, I meant to translate that question." He looks sheepish.
<War_> "Can I have words with you in /private?"/ she says this to Joshua
<Aphex_> The farmer just nods. "I will try to reach out to the mother again. You two can conduct your… business, elsewhere, if you wish."
<Soulless> "…Sure. Thank you."
<Soulless> Did the farmer give him a name?
<Aphex_> No name.
<Aphex_> Not very conducive to the whole 'give me contacts' deal.
<TeslaTornado> Kaari and Joshua may or may not hear Snorri's voice on their radios: «I have found cutoff point. I am going to attempt to stop them.»
<Soulless> "Hey uh, what was your name again?"
<War_> «Heard. We are just hanging around.»
<Aphex_> "Singh. Arjun Singh." States the Farmer, currently knocking on the woman's door again.
<Soulless> "We'll reach out to you again, when we have the supplies."
<Soulless> He steps out with Kaari.
<Soulless> A polite distance away.
<War_> Kaari clomps off.
<War_> "Okay, what is your issue?" she says as she turns to Joshua. "Where are you getting information of interpreter? There was no interpreter."
<Soulless> "Do you figure we should go help?" He avoids her question.
<Soulless> "I probably just misremembered. But hey, we got one, right?"
<War_> She /stares./
<War_> "You seemed sure of it. Did not even check fact with the rest of team."
<Soulless> "Do you think we should go help tyhem?"
<Aphex_> You're both hearing sounds of a struggle, and the yelling of a young man in Farsi.
<Aphex_> Over the radio, that is.
<TeslaTornado> Thank god for that open channel.
<Aphex_> You also hear Snorri over the comms! «I have tackled a child.»
<TeslaTornado> He sounds very pleased about that.
<War_> "If you continue ignoring my questions we are going to have a serious problem."
<War_> For the record this lady is built like a brick shithouse, Josh, she ain't fucking around.
<War_> "We will go help them. You will answer my questions later. No debate."
<Aphex_> If you go help, #Homeimprovement2
<War_> Kaari goes!
<Soulless> He waves over Singh since they need him to talk to the child, then he follows.
<Aphex_> The farmer stays where he is, since there's now shouting in English nearby.
<Soulless> He heads with Singh over to the shouting.

<TeslaTornado> \\ok
<Aphex_> You're pretty slow compared to this guy, Snorri. Giving chase might be hard.
<Odocoileus> Tally nods, "we cut them off hopefully if we split or do we just follow?"
<TeslaTornado> Snorri clicks his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "Keep in radio contact. I can join in pursuit and attempt to funnel them towards you two."
<madness_> Athletics to give chase? "Flanking is a good plan, do it if you can. Rally point is the mother's house if we all get separated."
<TeslaTornado> "The child has advantage of knowing the footpaths better than us. Even if we lose him, we may be able to capture pursuant."
<Aphex_> ATHL to give chase, yes.

<TeslaTornado> 4df+3 (SURV) Snorri attempts to use his internal navigation skills to find a shortcut that he could use to get ahead of the two foot mobiles.

<Aphex_> \\ Yes ACRO could have been used but we're running (ha) with what was rolled for now.
<Odocoileus> Also can Tally use her spec to tack this boy? It would be survival
<Aphex_> Snorri, you know of a good spot just up ahead from your walk that might serve as a good cutoff for the child.
<Aphex_> What spec, Tallulah
<Aphex_> ?
<Odocoileus> Eagle eye is the spec.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri sprints for the cutoff.
<Aphex_> You can do so, Tally, but Snorri seems to have ninja'd you to the action.
<TeslaTornado> Radios in to Jerry and Tally (and, vis a vis the same frequency, Joshua and Kaari,) «I have found cutoff point. I am going to attempt to stop them.»
<Odocoileus> U:
<Soulless> «Them?»
<War_> «Heard. We are just hanging around.»
<Odocoileus> « just be careful»
<madness_> Jerry trails in behind, « We began pursuit of a man in a military flight suit and a teenager running from him. »
<Aphex_> Alright Snorri, give me PERC, followed by ATHL.

<TeslaTornado> Well, I'm fucked.
<Aphex_> You don't see the man charging you full on, but you do catch the kid. He squirms in your grip and yells at you in Farsi.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri reaches down and keys the radio to an open comm as he gets the wrap on the kid.
<madness_> Can Jerry attempt one more ACRO to try and catch up?
<Aphex_> Jerry, Tallulah, you run up on a man charging head on at Snorri. Said Snorri has a teenager in his grip. He may ACRO.
<TeslaTornado> The whole team probably hears what sounds like a rug made of flank-steak hitting something, hard, and heavy.

<Aphex_> You manage to wrap an arm around the chaser's ankle as you fall. He stumbles, but keeps on trucking. Snorri, you get a free action here.
<Odocoileus> (Okie I am gonna reset my phone to see if this helps with the lag)
<TeslaTornado> Snorri's gonna roll himself over with the kid's leg in a lock, attempting to get him to fall with him.
<TeslaTornado> Like a crocodile's death-roll, except he's not trying to drown and eat the kid.
<Aphex_> Roll the ATHL then.
<TeslaTornado> 4df+6 (ATH) God please
<Glacon> TeslaTornado: (ATH) God please: 4 (4df+6=-, +, -, -)
<Aphex_> 4df+4 (ATHL) This is a child
<Glacon> Aphex_: (ATHL) This is a child: 2 (4df+4=-, -, +, -)
<Aphex_> You manage to grapple the child without issue. What about the flight-suit man?
<TeslaTornado> Snorri plays a brief and exciting game of "Get Down, Mister President" with the teenager, placing his center mass roughly between the kid and the guy in the flight suit while also keeping him restrained.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri says, talking loudly enough to be picked up by his radio, "I have tackled a child."
<Odocoileus> Can Tally try to jump on to flight suit man and slow him down? Not tackle or knock him off balance
<Aphex_> She can try, but Flight-Suit is pulling a damn gun so…
<Aphex_> Maybe approach this gently.
<Odocoileus> Oh ok
<Aphex_> Flight-Suit is now yelling at both Snorri and the Kid in Farsi, and has a handgun out. For those of you Milsim inclined, you can roll PERC to peep the gun.
<TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Snorri keeps the kid restrained, but looks over his shoulder to try and get eyes on the gun.

<Glacon> Odocoileus: Tally looks at the gun and then for any other high points she could climb up too: 3 (4df+5=-, -, -, +)
<War_> Kaari arrives, toting Big Fucking Shotgun. She can't safely aim it at the culprit though.
<Aphex_> You note, Snorri, that he's not carrying the typical Iranian police armament. That's a P220.
<Aphex_> Jerry, you're in his sightline, so it probably isn't wise.
<Aphex_> As for you, Tallulah, this is an alleyway between homes. You aren't gonna find much here to climb up on.
<Aphex_> Kaari, a man in an OD green flight suit looks ready to kill Snorri, and is training sights on both him and the kid he's wrestled down.
<War_> Can Kaari /safely/ convince him otherwise by means of brandishing Big Shotgun(tm) or is this guy just not gonna let up
<Aphex_> This guy looks dead at you Kaari, then shouts at you in Farsi.
<War_> She shouts back in angry Finnish.
<Aphex_> Then he shouts at all of you in English. "PUT THE GUN AND THE BOY. DOWN. NOW."
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks nonplussed by the gun. "You aren't from Iran!"
<War_> "WHY DON'T YOU BACK THE FUCK OFF."
<TeslaTornado> Looks to the boy, shakes his head. Don't run off.
<Odocoileus> "can we not piss him off more!?"
<Aphex_> He certainly looks to be from the area. He snarls back at Kaari. "THAT BOY IS A DANGER. YOUR GUNS DOWN. NOW."
<TeslaTornado> "Everyone stop shouting!" Snorri says this in a slightly raised voice.
<TeslaTornado> "We will cause ruckus."
<TeslaTornado> "Is not necessary to shout."
<Soulless> Joshua approaches slowly.
<War_> "You're more of a fucking danger swinging gun around like daft bastard!"
<Aphex_> The flight-suit man stops, keeps his P220 trained. "Shut your mouth, woman. You there. Put the boy down."
<War_> Kaari looks like rage personified for a split second
<Odocoileus> Tally keeps her eyes peeled out for any others that might be coming for back up for flight suit guy.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks at the boy. Then at the flight-suit man. Then at Kaari. "Everyone. Stop acting stupid for fifteen seconds."
<TeslaTornado> "You. Man with foreign gun. I will let child go if you tell child not to run."
<TeslaTornado> "I will count to three, and my team will lower weapons, and so will you."
<Aphex_> "…" He looks to the kid, then to Snorri. Barks something in Farsi at the kid as he lowers his pistol to low-ready.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks to Jerry and Kaari. Nods at them. "Okay. Guns down."
<TeslaTornado> And then he releases his grip on the kid.
<War_> Kaari begrudgingly slings her weapon back over her shoulder. She crosses her arms, and is /glaring/ at the man in the flight-suit.
<Aphex_> The kid stays there where he's put for a moment, then walks towards the flight-suit man. He's now between you and the Man. Now what?
<TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Snorri tries to gauge the kid's body language for signs of hostile intent.
<Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Snorri tries to gauge the kid's body language for signs of hostile intent.: 4 (4df+4=0, 0, 0, 0)
<TeslaTornado> He's also trying to see if this is the PoI.
<Odocoileus> Tally sniffs the air a few times.
<Aphex_> You recognize the kid as your POI. The Airman, not so much. No hostility, save for said Airman. He's done this showdown before.
<Aphex_> Tally what are you looking for, if anything?
<Odocoileus> Tes beat me to it u: but the same thing
<TeslaTornado> Snorri looks to the Airman. "Tell the child that I asked him to stop."
<Soulless> Joshua keeps his hands up, slow movements.
<Aphex_> He chatters at the boy in Farsi; the kid does stop. "So. Who are you, what do you want with the boy?"
<Aphex_> He mutters something into his headset. PERC to hear it.

<Aphex_> Kaarina is the only one to hear him say something regarding the word 'Aegis' a few times, and what sounds like grid coordinates.
<Aphex_> What do you do with this information?
<War_> She frowns and squints at him as she tries to focus, but it's slipped from her.
<War_> She'll inform the team of her hunch however whenever safe - although for now she can at least communicate to Snorri without the flightsuit dude understanding.

<Aphex_> As for you all, sans Joshua and Jurgen, you note a little red dot travelling all around to your torsos.
<War_> Kaari looks to Snorri with a wide-eyed look.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri watches the laser. "We will explain, if you tell your spotter to stop lining up shot."
<Odocoileus> Tally is not happy about this. Can she try to nonchalantly look for where the snipers are?
<TeslaTornado> "If you do not, first person to die is my teammate, second person is you, and third person is the child."
<Odocoileus> Or how many there are.
<Aphex_> The flight-suit man stands firm. "I think I know who you all work for, and that's enough-" He pauses. "Oh, an interesting trade, eh?"
<TeslaTornado> "If you disagree, then both sides fail mission."
<Aphex_> "I understand." He says, keying up his radio. «Stand down Harper.» He mutters a bit more.
<Aphex_> The laser leaves. Tally, you can attempt.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri glances over to Kaari.
<Aphex_> "So. Explain yourselves."

<madness_> “…” Jerry, out of the loop, stares between Snorri and Flight Suit. He looks back towards the ridge that was pointed out earlier.
<Odocoileus> Okie
<TeslaTornado> Snorri crosses his arms. "Okay. We talk."
<TeslaTornado> "Child is of interest to the American government. We are sent here to extradite him."
<Aphex_> "Mm. We know, but you aren't the first Americans here." The man grins just slightly, "First was the U.I.U."
<Aphex_> "So you must be… what, Globalists? Maybe… Foundation, nh?"
<TeslaTornado> "Perceptive."
<TeslaTornado> Non-answer.
<TeslaTornado> "Maybe if you explain how you know the Unit was here, I give better answer."
<Aphex_> "We have inside sources. Old contacts." He's pretty chill so far, save for the whole gun thing.
<Aphex_> He's still got the whole stern face thing going though.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri nods. His own face is still blank as a freshly-erased chalkboard.
<Aphex_> Tallulah, Jerry, if you want to spot the sniper, you can try again.
<Odocoileus> 4df+5 she try again
<Glacon> Odocoileus: she try again: 5 (4df+5=0, +, -, 0)

<Soulless> "We're both trying to neutralize threats, aren't we?"
<Aphex_> "Neutralize? Certainly not. This is containment for study, nothing more."
<Aphex_> The boy is in the middle of this debacle, looking between the lot of you.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri's eyebrow tweaks a bit at the use of the word 'neutralize'.
<Soulless> "Well, keep dangerous things safe, you know."
<TeslaTornado> He mutters something in Finnish and sighs.
<Soulless> "We're both on the same side, here."
<TeslaTornado> Is the extraction team on the same radio frequency as the rest of the team?
<Aphex_> "Tell me, just how likely do you think that really is here?" The man asks Joshua.
<Aphex_> Ishmael is on 140.51, not .15.
<Odocoileus> Can Tally tell if there are any other snipers focused l on them or it's just the one.
<Aphex_> It's just the one, turns out. Can't see him, but you can see the glint of something that looks like a scope.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri keeps his eyes on the kid.
<TeslaTornado> Keeps his arms crossed.
<madness_> “What do you want with the kid?”
<War_> Kaari is much the same. Waiting.
<Aphex_> "We're taking him to a containment facility. Much like your own Sites."
<TeslaTornado> "Unless we take him."
<TeslaTornado> "In which case we take him to a containment facility. Much like yours."
<Aphex_> "…true. But, we feel as though we do a better job."
<Odocoileus> Tally keeps her peripheral on the sniper.

<Odocoileus> Tally slinks off to see if she can find a hidey spot.
<Odocoileus> (mostly cause I need to brb for like ~10 min)
<Aphex_> The kid just goes down into the tackle. You call all hear Flightsuit as he calls in orders. «Aegis Actual this is Aegis 1-3, compromised, open fire.»
<War_> Seeing as there's like, smoke everywhere, Kaari's gonna duck and bounce because NO THANKS.
<Aphex_> Tallulah will be exempt from the first few combat rounds. Kaari, where to?
<madness_> Jerry draws his weapon and starts off in the direction of where he last heard Flightsuit!
<TeslaTornado> Snorri gets both arms around the kid's torso and keeps on trucking, if he can.
<War_> Anywhere than ensures she won't get picked off by sniper fire
<Aphex_> PERC, Jerry. Snorri, are you headed away from or toward Flightsuit?

<Aphex_> Laser is on Joshua, it seems.
<Aphex_> If you do follow, #homeimprovement

<Aphex_> 1d6 .308 son
<Glacon> Aphex_: .308 son: 5 (1d6=5)
<Aphex_> You get tagged by the sniper, Joshua, and now have a GSW in the right leg. You do maintain cover though, now.
<Aphex_> Kaari can attempt, but it'll potentially cost.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri keeps on flooring it, hoping that Saint Dominic Brunsmeier is listening, somewhere.
<War_> Any chance Kaari could distract by letting off a shotgun blast? Shit's loud as fuck. Not sure if that would even work tho.
<War_> But maybe if she can mimic a gunfight it might work. Shrug!
<Aphex_> There's already smoke, might not be the best idea to let a sniper know where you are based on a muzzle flash.
<Aphex_> You could always radio or maybe- PERC Kaari
<War_> 4df+4 fun
<Glacon> War_: fun: 4 (4df+4=+, -, -, +)

<Soulless> Joshua is in a lot of pain.
<War_> Well this isn't the first round of combat sooooo. Kaari loads up the Barricade.
<War_> Hopefully the collateral of this round alone will be enough without a direct hit.
<Odocoileus> Tally holds her position for now. Unless she can try to get to Joshua.
<Soulless> Joshua gets on his radio. «Stefansson's got the POI. We're in a firefight. Extract- extract-»

<Aphex_> The smoke dissipates pretty quickly.
<War_> Kaari takes the chance to tail wherever flightsuit dude and Jerry went.
<Aphex_> You can round the corner to #homeimprovement
<Odocoileus> Can Tally get to Joshua safely?
<Aphex_> Now? Yes.
<Soulless> Joshua clutches his leg, trying to figure out what to do. Any radio feedback?
<Odocoileus> She goes over to him and check out his leg. Can she use one of her med dice on him?

<Aphex_> You patch Joshua up enough to get him mobile. The bullet thankfully was clean entry / clean exit.
<Odocoileus> She gives him a soft smile before checking around to see if she can see if the sniper is around.
<Soulless> Joshua smiles to her, weakly, and there's an odd way he's holding his stomach… But you don't recall him getting injured there.
<Soulless> "She shot it away. Let's go."
<Aphex_> Snorri, where are you right now?
<Odocoileus> She nods and helps him to his feet.
<Odocoileus> "we should still be careful."
<TeslaTornado> Snorri's booked it off into the nearest cluster of buildings, trying to break line of sight with the sharpshooter.
<Aphex_> You've bull-in-china-shopped a poor potter's home. Good job on that.
<Aphex_> The kid's safe, and it seems that these guys have backed off for now.
<Aphex_> At least, outside of Jerry yelling something about Flightsuit getting away.
<TeslaTornado> Snorri will have time to regret that later. He's currently got one arm locked around the kid's neck in a firm-but-not-choking hold, and the other one is putting the radio on 140.51.
<Aphex_> In fact, Jerry is quite loud in asking if you're all okay.
<TeslaTornado> He reprograms, opens the comm, puts it back on his belt, and draws his 6P9.
<TeslaTornado> "Ishmael. Target secured. Immediate extraction required, AO is hot."
<Odocoileus> Tally notes this, "we should regroup."
