When last we left our intrepid heroes (?), several of them were gathered in the lobby, with Angus liberating Astara from what seemed to be a glue grenade of sorts. Firecracker had taken down one of the mental mice who appeared to be controlling the guards, which had turned on the team and shot Astara, the only one to have been injured in the battle (except for the now-unconscious mouse). While Astara, Parthenia, and Angus dealt with the scenario in the lobby, a team composed of Zophah, Mal, and ? found their way to a sniper tower where an agent reported an absence of communication from command, and Phosphorus had gone off on her own to discover another post which was sadly missing its previous occupant. All three teams were getting ready to converge on the Zephyr building once more, which is where our scene resumes. Of the team, only Zophah has broken off to join the brawl, leaving Mal and Arris to join up with the others.
Angus tears the last of the restraining substances from Astara, making sure she wasn't going to fall on him before he finishes off helping the rest of the guards. "There, now that we've taken care of that sticky situation lets see who else we can find eh?" He asks no one in particular, drawing the revolver at his hip and putting it to half cock as he heads towards the stairs, not really waiting for an answer.
Astara is just about trembling with anger, and she casts a glance with narrowed eyes towards Angus... before she just sighs, hanging her head. "Does anyone have some rope? I want to make sure that fucking bitch isn't going anywhere when she wakes up."
Mal runs along after Arris, following the Gator into the building, with a grimace on his face and his M1911 ready. The human blinks and looks around, sniffing. "What the shit..." he mutters, shaking his head as he looks at the other agents. "Anyone know what's going on?" he asks, adding, "And...maybe what that smell is?"
Parthenia was on her way to go check out the choppa pilot but... Something change her mind. Instead she decided to share a piece of mind with Astara. "Wouldn't be much of a point in going bondage on her ass if she can just will someone to free her again. I say, blow her head off and be done with it?" Her attention turns to Firepony. "I suppose I could go with you... Safety is in numbers after all."
Arris hurriedly leads Mal back into the Zephyr building. Upon reentering the lobby, sie immediately catches a whiff of the glue bomb that went off earlier, looking over to the glue blob. "God, what happened here? Actually, don't answer that." Sie turns to Parthenia. "Zophah, Mal, and I have found out that communications with Zephyr HQ have went down. We should go upstairs and see what's going on."
Firecracker blinks in surprise as her links are cut off. "What the heck? That's not normal..." she says to herself as she turns midair to look back at the others flooding into the room. "Well whatever, up we go!" she announces as Angus heads up the stairs and Parthenia expresses her willingness to follow. She ascends straight upwards as she looks around for anything out of the ordinary, shouting over to the ones entering the building. "Yeah, the coyote over there blew his load all over the guards. Quite the sticky situation," she says with a grin and a shrug, slowly shaking her head back and forth.
As Angus and Firecracker begin to make their way up the stairs, they'll find that they're being peppered by a hail of bullets from the third floor; someone is waiting for them! Judging by the uniforms, another squad of guards was alerted by the firefight and has come to offer backup, not even bothering to ask questions before opening fire on both members of the team that have gone on ahead. The good news is that Firecracker is both small enough and agile enough to evade the hail of bullets. The bad news is that Angus isn't quite so lucky, with one of the bullets managing to strike an unarmored area and actually inflict some damage. Cover fire is laid in the lobby in short order, though they're careful to avoid hitting the gooped guards who are still stuck to the floor; it's simply going to be difficult to get up those stairs without getting shot!
Angus clutches his shoulder as he takes the ground, grunting and hitting the deck as the fire starts. Which is to say he turns around, and books it to the first floor as quickly as possible to find a good place to take cover and check the wound. "I swear, every time, EVERY fucking time some shit happens in this place I get shot."
Astara shakes her head in response to Parth. "I'm not much for killing people unneccisarily. Can just gag her and bind her eyes, shouldn't be able to do much then. More importantly, she might yet be useful to us in the future... somehow. Even if it's just for me to be able to execute some personal payback on her." The venom is practically dripping off of her words towards the end.
The succubus doesn't have long to stay salty, however, with the scene now re-escalating. Using her wings to help give her some extra velocity, she darts for cover in the alcove of the Coffee Shop.
Mal backs up as shots are fired, lifting his gun to aim at the source. "What the shit!" he calls out, trying to pinpoint where the shooters are, and what's going on. Seriously, this is out of his pay range...
"Hey! Why are the guards shooting at us!?" Arris sees the guards opening fire into the lobby, firing off a few shots at them with hir railgun before running behind the central elevator for cover and shooting at the guards from there. Sie ducks behind the column again before pushing the "call elevator" button, reloading hir railgun and shooting again.
Parthenia says, "Of wow, really?!" Perked up the human woman. She seemed way too excited to hear those news! If someone was smart, or tough enough to get to HQ, it could be either really good, or really bad! Either way, she simply had to go check out what is going on, find out who is behind it and most importantly, why?! To hope for the best was fooling of course, but she still did! "C'mon what are we waiting for? Let get going!" She exclaimed heading for the elevator. Maybe she should take stairs? Bah, it'll be fine! And then comes the fire. The stink-dog gets shot, the small horse is dodging like mad and Parthenia extends her finger to push the button responsible for the elevator summoning. She tries to stay out of the sight of aggressors, with her shotgun at the ready for when the doors opens for her, ready to blow whoever might be inside all over the elevator walls. Seems like no one is asking any questions. She isn't going to kind enough to do so either. The kind demon who didn't want to put a few new fuckable holes in the mouse just got a roll of human's eyes."
Firecracker grins as she weaves through the hail of lead, looking up towards the presumed source of the showers. "Looks like the fun's not over yet!" she shouts out as she darts towards the columns to get some cover as she continues to ascend. With her speed and weaving around, she hopes to lose at least a few of the guards' attention as she ascends towards the roof to get a better view from above.
