“Looks like they have got themselves an astral parasite infestation. If I remember correctly, those toad demons multiply around sources of Mana. And they aspect it as well as produce some pretty sticky shit. Better get some more blight ready.”
Kynos took his own advice and broke another capsule round to freshen up the coating he had given his fists earlier.
-
“Something tells me, that the nephew is either in trouble or not here at all.”
Kynos peered through the porthole, trying to make out what was going on in there.

Kynos nodded: “Eyes sharp, where that came from there could be others.”
The tall elf returned to his previous position and began to enter the chamber, looking around for further fiends.

Just in case you are wondering, I’m waiting for Batshit to put in the coup de grace.

Kynos made one precise step away, so he didn’t get hit from the thing and also didn’t obscure line of sight for his chummers.
“You are as quick as you are ugly.”

Before Kynos consciously registered what was about to assault him, he got his pre-retaliation in, lifting his rifle and sending a short burst of hand loaded armor piercing rounds into whatever the thing was.

Kynos counted on his fingers down from three and opened the door, assault rifle at his shoulder.

<<Acknowledged. I’ll take the lead after you gear up.>>
Kynos moved in and gave the two runners back their equipment while making himself sure, his rifle was loaded with APDS and the genade launcher with HE.
<<Ready?>> he asked before opening the next door.
-
As the connection threatened to break up, Kynos began to move after the two and the drone, keeping always in range – oblivious to the capriols the local mana landscape made.
-
Kynos commanded the drone to follow Lily discreetly while keeping the cameras from noticing them.
-
<<You might still have a chance to talk your way in and out – if I join up with you, that goes out of the window. I’ll move in position outside the door though, so I’ll be close by to assist you.>>
Kynos replied and made his way with his colleagues gear in bag towards the corridor.
-
<<Hm. That does not bode well.>> Kynos sent through the feed. <<I’ll edit you out of the picture, but expect to find something nasty behind a door where no cameras are there to witness what’s going on.>>
-
<<Let’s see if we can get a look at what is going on in there.>>
Kynos commanded the drone to approach close to the ceiling and connect to one of the cameras. Once again it was a question of if his drone would be able to enter the local host.
Spoiler:Teamwork Agent: 8d6t5 1
Watchdog: 9d6t5 1
This close to a glitch
Defense: 4d6t5 1
no success but no alarm either
Teamwork Agent: 8d6t5 3
Watchdog: 11d6t5 2
Camera: 4d6t5 1
One success, but one is enough.
Drone enters local host and sets the Agent to search for camera streams. Then it copies and relays them to the team. Since those are not illegal actions, I can basically buy hits

Kynos made himself comfortable as much as he could, sitting down on a bench. The drone was transmitting clearly and Kynos idly thought that one of these days he should learn how to steer one. For the moment the pilot program was doing an admirable job of not bouncing from the walls.
<<I’m scouting ahead a bit, stay tuned.>>
-
Kynos nodded: “Fair enough. I’ll send my drone with you to give you support”
-
If we do it would be Kynos to stay behind (and improve your ability to talk your way out of things)
But I’d imagine there to be a row of non dedicated lockers for just that purpose.
-
“Do me a favor and use the pressure washer over there on me. I can fit one of the troll decon suits about my armor.”
Kynos shrugged out of the long coat and stuffed it into the backpack. The troll sized suits weren’t a perfect fit, but they were roomy enough to contain him. Two rubberbands made sure the overall legs stayed in place without tripping him up.
Next he adviced cubo to exchange the sneak program for the wrapper to make all their icons seem like those of the regular employees upstairs.
-
Kynos hadn’t bothered opening his visor: “You know, I specifically stole this armor because it would keep me cool in hot areas and warm in the cold. Otherwise the thermal dampening and fire resistance effect wouldn’t work.
But I certainly won’t stop you showing skin – could buy us a second or two if a guard spots you.”
There wasn’t even a trace of a lear in his voice, just cold calculation about all available assets and how to employ them to maximum effect.
-
Kynos followed, giving his drone the command to reboot while Lily took care of the defenses for a while.
Being swift of foot and reasonably fit, he was able to match Lily’s (reduced) pace, his long strides eating up ground efficiently like his companions.
