Subject: And go.


Fixer's Uzi burns through half the rounds in his magazine, the hot lead cutting through the storm water to riddle the driver and rear door of the passing vehicle. He mentally kept count as he felt the recoiling weapon spit each round out of its chamber. This was the first time he had fired the weapon at another living person. Target practice was something, but this was different. An emotional numbness coursed through him. Fixer surprised himself at how calm he was. Though the adrenaline flowed through his veins, he did not feel the expected emotional guild at possible having taken a life.

He watched on though as the pimped car swerved through a course of action and into the oncoming lane of traffic. Time seemed to slow as the boosters smashed headlong into a van. Crunch of steel on steel rebounded through the air. Those in the van were not part of this meaningless conflict. Though sometimes innocent were caught in the crossfire.

A look around saw that Starlight was hit, but the threat was not confirmed to be finished. Brayden had taught him in a firefight that finishing the threat came first before aiding an injured comrade. He rushed over to the boosters vehicle to inspect the interior. It was with a quick thought that the lessons of old came back, "Don't go into an unknown situation with a half full mag." He kept his uzi pointed towards the vehicle as he strode forward in a crouch, swapping out the magazine in midstride and placing the half empty back in the holster that he had pulled the full one out of. He was prepared to end this threat if need be.

It looks like I can hit the broad side of a car, lol..... now I hope some of my .45 dual purpose rounds did some of the damage.

Okay, Fixer will make his way to assess the situation with the boosters. He has no skills in first aid and will hope that either casino of vegas can take care of starlight. He will not be shy about shooting the boosters if they are still alive or quickly snatch any firearms or anything valuable he can quickly see. The dead do not need material belongings.

Subject: And action.....


Fixer noted that Vegas was very abstinent about going out that front door. The man tipped his fedora to the two that were to trail behind him and a thumbs up to Fixer before sauntering out into the early morning air. Casino shook his head before striding out behind his friend with Fixer at his side. His mental state was one of hyper alertness as he kept his eyes scanning for the boosters. He could feel his palms sweating at the nervousness that flooded his system.

Rain poured down in a drove, and he could feel it flowing off of his street clothes; he was not wearing any kind of waterproofed clothing. He could feel it soaking into the cloth and was glad he carried extra clothing in his bag. Lightning flashed overhead with the three heading further into the rain. His SMG is smartgun linked and he can see the recticle as it overlays his view. The buttstock is pulled out fits snugly into his shoulder pocket. His left hand held the underbarrel grip snugly as his feet carried him forward.

Fixer spots Starlight alone in the rain, no escort and packing no heavy heat of any type. So much for the theory that her muscle would deter the Grease Monkeys from attacking them on the open street. Starlight approaches the three before reaching into her pockets and producing the items Casino and Vegas had purchased earlier in the night.

"There you go, choombas," Starlight grins. "Now, how's the gig playing out?"

Fixer was not paying the small gathering much attention. The grenades and taser was Vegas's and Casino's thing. His eyes continue to scan the surrounding street. A lowriding ground car came driving towards them with a mural of a Catholic saint on the hood. Fixer kept his eye on the car as it came to a slowing crawl. A window began to roll down on the driver's side - a barrel of a weapon peeking out from the window.

"Get down!!!" Fixer yelled into the night air.

He could hear the roar of automatic gunfire as it rings through the night air. Fixer attempted to jump out of the way but felt the rounds impact into his leg. Pain tore through the limb as it caused him to spin. He fell flat on his back and hit the pavement hard. His only reasonable response was to raise his own weapon and pull the trigger once the recticle was lined up with the vehicle. He pulled the trigger to it and let the rounds fly in hopes that they would pierce the vehicle's metal and glass to hit the occupants inside. The weapon's suppressor kept the sound of fire was blasting his ear drums as well. Fixer was glad he had invested in the armored clothing now instead of a more fashionable choice.

Subject: Disagreements.


The two longtime friends were having a fairly solid difference of opinion on how they should proceed. Fixer was told this was a high irregularity with them.

"These boosters are cowards. They think they have safety in numbers. We just go out toting bigger heat and they could bow down." Fixer spoke in the midst of it all. He was not usually one to instigate a confrontation, but it may be unavoidable. "Or we could get into a fight where you may have to use the grenades you just done paid for."

There were no guarantees in this life but Fixer felt safer being in this confrontation with these two than if he had been alone.

Waiting on posts form vegas and casino...... Fixer is just in the club, not really aware of the whole situation that is forming itself up around him.

Subject: Nerves


"Sorry about this Vegas and I are normally on the same page. However there are times when we do disagree, and this is one of them. In the end it all works itself out."

"No problem here," Fixer replied back. "Prefer the loneliness myself. Relationships have always found a way to bite me back."

Was not but a moment later when Fixer turned his head and noticed the Greaser stride away Vegas and back out the door. Mayhap this would turn into a night of firefights after all. His nerves were starting to get to him; his breathing and heart rate quickened a little bit, and he could notice a little bit of feeling leave his fingers. His body was preparing itself a small bit for the even.

"Fixer," the leather-clad solo sighs. "Wait here for Vegas. Once he gets back here tell him I went to talk to the club's manager." Just for good measure, Casino slides his SMG non-threateningly across the table into his companion's care and strides purposefully away.

"Now alone in a place I know nothing about," were the words he muttered as both of his 'companions' were now out and about. One to make what was perhaps a business call and the other out and about socializing with those that called themselves his 'fans'. His frustration peeked a bit as he tapped the side of his jacket to ensure himself that his UZI was still there.

(OOC: Okay, sorry for the absence but now settled in with net back up.)

If Vegas and casino can't decide on a course of action fixer will suggest a coin flip or other random method to settle it between the two. Just waiting on grenades and taser for time being

Topic: Thoughts on death.
Subject: Thoughts on death.


I am no stranger to death. I've buried my share of family. I've lost brothers in arms. I've even been trained to deal it from behind the pull of a trigger. I've cleaned up those who have passed as a nurse aid in preparation for the family to come see. Tonight though was a first in my list of experiences.

There was this elderly woman that I've taken care of in my place of work for over two years now. We had been expecting her to go. She had no family. We were all that sat by her bedside, myself and the fellow nursing staff. There was another nurse, two of us were required to confirm her passing, and a couple aids that were not busy at that point in time. In that point in time, we were her family.

This was the first time I've sat and watched somebody pass into whatever it is that awaits us. I watched on as her vision became unfocused, and her pupils dilated. I watched on and waited as her breaths became more and more shallow, further and further apart. I sat there holding her hand while another of the nursing staff put their hand upon her shoulder. I watched as her last breath came, and we counted the seconds.

When we deemed enough time had passed, I placed my stethoscope upon her chest, saying that I heard nothing. The second nurse in the room did the same. Whatever conscious had resided within that shell dwelt there no more. Death had visited that room. I felt a mixture of emotions that I had not felt before and still know not entirely what to make of them. It was a bit of a humbling experience. I know this will not be the last time I sit in on such an event. This is the career that I have chosen to follow that I have been called into.

This, my innmates, are just my thoughts. Felt they needed to be shared and didn't quite know where to share them, so here they are.

"So, after Dauntless Dog or the rest of the group. We cod see where they are at after the delivery. If they've alreadyadequate it past the checkpoints, then may as well check on the gang down here." He hoped it would be a compromise of sorts between the two.

"So," he finishes while slipping onto the bench next to Casino and placing his fedora on the table. "Way I see it, we can either make our way on down to Frizzoli's, canvas the streets for some other sign of Dauntless Dog, or cut our losses and try to reconnect with the others as soon as we pick up our wares from Starlight. What do you blokes think?"

"You, Mr Vegas," Fixer spoke up, "are good with these people." It was merely an observation for him. "I, however, prefer machines; they are much more predictable. An input produces an expected outcome. This means that I will leave it to more capable minds to conclude our next course of action."

Fixer gave it a moment of thought, "It may have been pleasing though to have seen them defy the odds of this place and get flatlined by the security here."

Fixer looked at casino with a small smirk, "I will just put it on semi if you're worried about too many rounds going through a crowded place. I've got an autopistol but it ain't carryin the DP rounds that I've got in the uzi."

Fixer showed his side piece and that it was nothing special.

(Fixers side piece is a militech arms avenger, both it and the uzi are linked smartguns.)

If nobody else posts before update, fixer will go place himself between vegas and the grease monkeys, letting them see him grasp ahold of his uzi grip. if they move toward him after that, he will draw it and signal for them to stop afore he starts shooting. Trying to deter a bigger situation from starting. First two targets will be chick with shock vest thing and scratchers. higher priority targets.

Subject: Boosters


Fixer turned in his seat as we watched the fellow walk away once he saw he had been bested by Vegas. There was a small smile of smugness on Fixer's face as he saw the punk's mood. Not at all too happy. The lady was a bit of a looker as well to put the icing on the cake. At the table he left for sat a set of five couples; five more men and five women. As the man said something, the attention of near a dozen boosters fixed on Vegas, and Fixer knew that there could soon be a problem.

"This is something that perhaps we could head off," Fixer spoke to Casino, "I've seen these boosters around. The gang calls themselves Grease Monkeys, and our companion broke up what seemed to be a couple's dance."

*May Casino interject at any time*

"All six males are packin' light pistols that I can make out, nothing heavy. I can make out three of em boosted with cybe. An arm that may conceal something nastier. An optic - which may or may not have a dartshooter. And lastly, a neural implant which may indicate a smartgun link.

"One of the female companion has scratchers imbedded in her hand with another sporting a protection field harness - give us a nasty shock if we're too close when she sets it off.

"How do you want to do this. Aint ever have to blast these boosters, but aint got nothing against it."

Fixer's tone was completely analytical as he took in the situation and sharing his observations. He was just straightforward.

Subject: ....what now?


Fixer sighed as the search came back up with not what he was hoping for. He knew he wasn't a netrunner that could hack through security with ease, but he knew his way a bit around tech. There were cameras inside the club but none outside. It appeared as if luck would not be a lady this night. All the guys and dolls of the club though seemed to be enjoying Vegas's tune though. The fancied up solo was soon done with his number and joined the other two down on the floor.

".....what now?" came out of Casino's lips.

"Ran a scan for possible cameras I could have looked into splicing in on to get vid on which way y'alls man was headed, but aint none outside of this place." Fixer admitted the failed plan to his companions. "At least none the security scanner could pick up anyways. Time to try some different leads?"

James already had funds invested in this run and did not want to keep hitting dead ends or else they may have to do some bad things for the cash needed to keep on. Or if nothing else, he could do some handiman work to keep the kibble flowing, but that did not appeal to him at all.

Well, not exactly a netrunner but has hoping to maybe find a wired camera to try and splice into with perhaps an electronics skill. Maybe use it to track Dog's movements. But no cameras equal no dice. Too bad I didn't think to get a picture of Dog. :-/

Okay, trying to use this feature of my agent. I don't know if it will let me use it to find perhaps cameras. THinking perhaps patching in and pulling up recorded video. Dunno if this would be out of reach or not. Just an idea that hit me.

Subject: And calming back down


"Good evening, sir," says the man who had just positioned himself at your left side, effectively caging you in the booth. "But it would appear that something here at the Rat Pack isn't to your satisfaction. If I may, I'd like to resolve your concern."

"Satisfaction's great, friend," James spoke as he took this new factor into the equation. It threw his current predictions into turmoil. "Just my impulsive companion."

James did his best to keep Casino in his field of view while this crony was doing his best to keep James in check. It was a little game that was being played. The tattooed fellow's hand slips into his jacket with boosted reflexes; his other hand came up as if to halt Casino in his path. Casino stood between him and the man, so he could not see his lips to read; they were too far away and too much noise going on to catch what was being said as well. Even his enhanced senses did not help him here.

Casino turned and came back to the table, Fixer letting his uzi once again slip beneath his jacket in what may appease the security. "No situation here."

"Ok I don't know what the hell Vegas wrote on that slip of paper but it looks to have pissed off Dog. We may not find any info here. You got any idea's?" Casino said as he came back to the table.

"Just.....," he said as he trailed off in a moment of thought, "well, wait for Vegas up there to finish up and pursue any other leads." With this, Fixer pulls out his agent and attempts to use it to locate any cameras that may be nearby. If Dog would not let them follow him then perhaps the cameras would tell them where he went.

(OOC: Okay, going to try and use my agent's security location feature to find some cameras to jack into.)
