*Alex drives agressively, making his way along the route he planned earlier starting with the closest device to their current location. He is keeping his speed to exactly the speed limit, but he isn't slowing down for anything short fo a red light or a stop sign. He is more than willing to ride lane markers to make lights and has no fear of traffic*
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 10:46:41 PM)
The streets of the town are warm, but not hot. There is a light rain making the streets somewhat slippery. They could start anywhere in the city by climbing down a sewer grate. Where do they start.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 10:48:23 PM)
(( Alex is going for the nearest one to their location at the gym, and sweeping in the direction of Aislinn's house, since he's driving, so any devices in teh area of his home get picked off sooner rather than later, and will complete a circuit of the city. ))
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 10:49:24 PM)
(That's several days worth of work, you're going to have to narrow it down. It'll get done, just not in one shot.)
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 10:49:50 PM)
((Well, still makes sense to work in sections of city))
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 10:50:03 PM)
(( Ah, you were never clear on teh number of devices, if it's that much, Alex starts in his home sector and will move out. ))

The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 10:55:29 PM)
The street was empty at the moment, only someone waaaaay down the street walking their dog. They were in luck!
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 10:56:54 PM)
Grand. Let's just pry this bad boy open and get gone. We want to save this one, or save the last of the night?
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 10:57:52 PM)
*Alex drops the kickstand, and moves to the device* Collect this one first, this way, if we have a problem we have many many spares. *as no one is around, Alex, draws his blades* Can you get the cover open, or do you need me to?
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 10:58:23 PM)
The devices are under the streets, in the sewers, the hatch is right there, and heavy.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 10:59:25 PM)
(( str 3 enough to lift it one handed? ))
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:00:35 PM)
(Yes, or use a pry bar. Either or.)
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:01:03 PM)
*Iz shrugs* That's why we have a crowbar. Nothing wrong with doing things the old-fashioned way.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:02:10 PM)
Tools. Gotta love them. Now, hurry before someone comes along and jacks my bike. *he flashes her a grin. He's a soldier on a mission and has a devil may care attitude at the moment*
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:02:56 PM)
From ten foot away? I have my doubts. *She sticks the pry bar into the notch, before stepping on it to lever up the cover*
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:03:40 PM)
*Alex catches teh levered up edge of the man hole and drops down, looking around for the do hickey*
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:04:53 PM)
And up it came! In the hole was humid, and of course it smelled bad. Pew. It wasn't a deep hole though, and there was definately standing water on the bottom. Using Flashlights will reveal the sewage pipes, and that there are white things placed on them at intervals, roughly in front of every house assuming they stopped in a residential district. They were clamped onto the pipes with what looked like plastic.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:06:06 PM)
*Alex moves up to the first one to collect it, and with strong hands and sharp blade, he attempts to cut the first one free* (( you gonna make me roll for it, or does dagger beat zip tie?))

Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:11:54 PM)
Oh for the love of... I'm coming down. *Iz lets the cover drop off to the side, and climbs down the manhole after Alex*

(*chuckle* Alex, you are just having crappy luck today.)

Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:13:55 PM)
Well, slap my ass and call me spanky. *alex shakes his head and offers to take the one that has been removed to keep it in range of the jammer*
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:15:00 PM)
Pulling it off the pipe caused a loud snap, and a flash of light.. almost like a firecracker. However luck has it that it was angled out the other way.
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:15:10 PM)
Okay. So let's concentrate on breaking them?
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:15:43 PM)

Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:17:17 PM)
*Alex's blades glow with a verdant green light and he takes off running to the next doohikey to stab the ever loving shit out of it.* (( since I am doing aggrivated damage to these things, what do I need to roll to smash it good? ))
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:19:29 PM)
And the next one further down into the darkness starts to smoke, the plastic smoking, but not melting. They were.. probably dead.
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:20:26 PM)
(Quick clarify, just Prime, or Prime and Life?)
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:21:27 PM)
(( Prime to make it agg, and Life to give it bacterial life draining qualities, sort of like penicilin made of alex's hatred. ))

The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:24:56 PM)
Alex's daggers slice the divices into peaces, biting through the material like butter and spilling the goop in inert liquid drips into the water. The two of them leave a trail of destroyed devices as the hour passes. As long as the two of you stay within rage (30 feet) of the jammer, all goes smoothly. ((Roll me up three more devices worth.))
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:25:10 PM)

(Alrighty(
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:31:33 PM)
An hour into it they come to the end of the street, still no sign of anyone around, But they spy a device along the pipe that unlike the others is black. Hard to see in the darkness. You wouldn't have noticed it at all but for the red blinking indicator on it.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:31:40 PM)
*Alex moves with grace and speed, taking care to keep Izzy in range of the jammer at all times, using strong, double handed attacks on every device he comes to. He is quiet, and frighteningly lit with the strange glow of his daggers*
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:32:09 PM)
Ok, that isn't good. New things are usually bad.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:33:23 PM)
*spying the device* Izzy... red lights are a bad indicator in my experience with their tech. The way I see it we have two choices, and I am not equipped for one of them. Plan A, we try and firgure out what the hell it is. Plan B, you get behind cover and I vaporize it.
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:34:39 PM)
Well, doesn't feel like primium from here, does it? That stuff usually gives me the heebie-jeebies... so I say A.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:35:26 PM)
Alright... THough I am totaly fine with jsut trashing the damn thing. I'll cover you while you pry it off and we take it back to Doctor Steele.
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:36:21 PM)

Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:40:03 PM)
Take your time. Be carefull. I would rathenr not have that thing turn into ravage.
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:40:06 PM)
*She sets to work on the connection, working on hacking through the plastic. Slow and steady, right?*
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:41:08 PM)
*alex is tensed, like a coiled spring ready to react at a moment's notice to danger*
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:42:45 PM)
The device comes off after a moment, bits of plastic still clinging to the pipe. She sees a clear hatch on the underneath, and circutry inside. These are not labeled.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:43:49 PM)
You want me to carry that thing untill we are done, Izzy?
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:43:58 PM)
*She touches the casing, prepared for a shock as she does so* One sec...
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:44:04 PM)
(How long you two plan on being at this?)
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:44:56 PM)
((As long as I can with Stamina 4 and life 2. Alex will work constantly to remove these devices, even if he has to work alone. ))
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:47:25 PM)
*alex waits on Izzy to finish doing her thing*
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:48:33 PM)
*Iz grimaces* We should get this back to the Doctor as soon as possible - I don't know how much longer the data on here will last, but I think there's good stuff on it. The others can wait.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:49:43 PM)
OK... Then we move fast, and I will get back out here as soon as I can to keep up the destruction. Let's move out.
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:50:52 PM)
Yeah. near as I can tell, it is the processor, or the analyst... it's something. But let's not waste the window we have.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:51:38 PM)
I'll lead the way. *He takes off at a pace Izzy can match, and using the lights from his daggers to keep the way illuminated he makes haste*
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:52:06 PM)
*Iz follows, carting the device. She's slower than she was heading out*
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:53:53 PM)
*When he reaches the exit to street level that they left open, he first checks to make sure that the way is clear, the cover is still off, and then scales the ladder with daggers in hands, peeking out at street level to make sure the coast is clear before exiting.*
The Streets of New Orleans (Nov 22, 2011 11:54:23 PM)
The two of them still see no one on the street when they come out. Come to think of it.. Didn't Doctor Steele go home? She's probably not still at the Gym.
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:54:40 PM)
Alex, take it. *She hoists up the device over her head*
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:55:45 PM)
*alex shifts both daggers to one hand and grabs the device* I just thoguht of a problem. How do we contact Doctor Steele? I hope I can call Jester since I got that map uplaoded.
Isabel Ross (Nov 22, 2011 11:57:36 PM)
*Iz climbs up. Under the streetlights, she looks pale. A trickle of blood runs from her nose* So try him first. I don't know that many scientists... Kaydence, maybe, is all I got.
Alex Steele (Nov 22, 2011 11:58:36 PM)
*Making his way to the bike, sheathing his daggers, he pries the phone out of it's jurry rigged mount and tries to call Jester back*
