  2. Ah, THS. Cool to see it still getting some love. But I'm not sure if I'm missing what the actual campaign premise is, or if it's actually missing.
  3. Remy Concorde Remy halted the mecha, opened the canopy and climbed out, while maintaining a radio link from her microphone to the mecha's loudspeakers. "Citizens!" she spoke in French, letting her native accent loose, which was neither that of metropolitan France, nor that of an Englishman trying to learn a second language, but rather of someone whose mother tongue originated somewhere in the Mediterranean. "You have scared a corrupt leader into hiding in a moment when the world depends on you, at a time when the corrupt politicians want to pocket any rewards the world is willing to pay. You are right to be angry, but do not let that anger make you squander the opportunity you have at the moment!" "NATO depends on your mines, not just on the shipment currently in port. While the hawks may be willing to use force here if a diplomatic solution isn't found, that would be a lose-lose for both of our peoples. Let's not allow that to happen! Instead, if you have demands, make those demands known. Use the moment to form a fair government, and use the opportunity to have NATO back your choice - it will be happy to deal with your representative so long as the supply lines last. It will also be content to continue fighting the monsters that stride throughout the land, as those threaten both your prosperity and theirs." "Pick a representative, make demands, find a solution. If this turns into a confrontation, no matter how today ends, nobody wins in the long term. Let's not allow that to happen." ---- Action: calm the crowd and try to arrange a beginning of negotiations, using Diplomacy/Rapport.

  4. Remy Concorde Remy was stumped for a moment. It has been quite a while since her success depended not on reflexes and precision, but on people skills. The need and ability to flex her cognitive empathy in this situation felt like the kind of challenge that was worrisome and welcome at the same time. Clearly the best outcome would be to calm the crowd down, but the path to that goal went through a metaphorical minefield. Remy racked her brain for all the clues as to how to best approach the situation. The usual suggestion to appear non-imposing was, of course, inapplicable - even getting out of the cockpit would not be enough. No, the approach has to depend on what the people want, what needs to be said to them, and what would be an acceptable compromise for the time being. She looked inwards, seeking the right words. ---- Action: use figure out the best way to build a de-escalating speech, that is, do an Empathy CaA that would provide insights to use with a subsequent Diplomacy (or similar) action. Spending a recently-gained FP on Cool-Headed Insightful Type help with the insights, duh. ---- Trackers Mental stress taken: 0 out of 6.

  5. Remy Concorde Remy swept the apertures across the area of approach. RADARs wouldn't penetrate all this metal and concrete, but other cues, such as unusual heat signatures, could be used to spot some threats. "Stand by for a few seconds while I try to get the big picture." ---- Action: scan with 'RADAR' against hidden threats.

  6. Remy Concorde For the first time in hours, Remy sighed in relief, allowing herself to truly relax for a moment. The event was ruined, sure. But the bad stuff that happened was well handled. Damage control was working. The team's intervention was a success. So far. And then she snapped back to attention. So far. The workday wasn't over. They should continue keeping an eye on things until the VIP's return to the high-security area. And so she returned to looking for more threats while 17 handled the situation on the ground. ---- Action: none. ---- Trackers Expert Sighted Gun (1 Free Invocation) Humanity's Successor (1).

  7. Remy Concorde Remy took notice of the event that moved furthest from the crowd out of the corner of her eye, finished taking one more breath, and let her body fluidly realign the barrel towards the target, pulling the trigger as the vector of the bullet's flight path intersected with the intended destination.

  8. Remy Concorde Remy took a deep breath, giving herself a few seconds to relax. Shooting the assassins in the crowd right now was rather unwise, both because they blended well and due to collateral concerns. Waiting too long was also unacceptable, as they would disappear into the alleys in a matter of seconds. There would be at best a split-second opportunity between the former and the latter, and she would have to make the one perfect shot in that time. There would be no time to line it up. She would have to make it count, to incapacitate a runner with a snap shot. Everything hinged on reflex and instinct. And that was something she could bet on. She adjusted the rifle zoom to minimum, taking in the big picture, chilling like a spring, preparing to snap the target into the crossroads upon seeing the moment of opportunity. ---- Action: Will+2 CaA using Psych Up Stunt to add Invocations to Humanity's Successor.

  9. Remy Concorde Remy twitched towards the rifle for a split second, but then instead pushed on the radio's talk button. "Crow's Nest to Mingler, I see suspicious movement, times five, entering sector nine from an exterior angle, but can't do anything about it from here, sorry. It's up to you now. Let's see the versatility of your approach in action." She kept sweeping through the sector with her binoculars, relaying the signs to watch out for, but of course the group was elusive, picked a good place to blend in, and knew what it was doing.

  11.     Remy Concorde Remy accepted the offering and took a bit. "Sure," she walked side by side with 17, scanning the crowds along the way. She was not good as him at picking out cold facts visually, at least not without overstraining. So instead of trying to duplicate his job, she focused inward, and tried to pick up the general vibes of the crowd: Just how much curiosity is the couple evoking? How much attention is attracted by them? Is there hostility among some members of the crowd aimed at the duo?   She didn't care about the souvenir stalls along the way, and yet approached several of them anyway, using the reactions of merchants to get a familiar emotional baseline against which to compare other locals' moods. Food stalls, now those were of some genuine interest: it was nice to discover that one of them was selling lokum. Still, there's only so much one can stuff oneself with on what is meant to be a long scouting stroll. ---- Trackers Expert Sighted Gun (1 Free Invocation) ---- Remy Concorde PILOT ASPECTS: Self View:   Humanity's Successor For good or ill, Remy acknowledges being designed as the next best thing after natural humans.

  14.     Remy Concorde "Understood," Remy replied, and walked towards the alleys she has just been shown, carrying the sportsbag with the rifle on her shoulder.  Fire ladder, just slightly out of reach. This is going to be good enough.
