"Can't imagine android meat would be that good. High in iron, though. Anyway, can you tell us anything else about who has your evidence or where they may be?"
-Actually androids are different at least at our planet among forbidden techs are known several types, including plausebly to consume. But generally I agree it is as syntethic meat or veggies. Hm...
TG realises he talks too much and sits back feeling odd in the situation and decides to bring coule questions himself about the point.
-We need more particular information, so that my helmet produce portraits of thug(s) verthani. We'll track him down. 16 hours ago sounds possible.
Lerecti provides a description of the verthani, and tells you that the evidence is on a silver datapad with a red sticker that the thugs took to the slums. His information leads you to a grungy section of Towershadow’s interior slums. Unlike most of Aballon, the ground here is a grimy mix of soot and dirt, created from the runoff of various industries on Aballon and entirely unnatural to the normally sterile planet. The buildings in this particular area are abandoned, with doors hanging open and interiors ransacked by gangsters and vagrants.
see slide 3. In the slums you see to verthani and an ikeshti. You stalk them. You're starting in the lower right corner. If you make a successful DC 18 Bluff, Culture, Stealth, or Survival check you can start in the PCs box near your three targets instead. I am also reminded that I need to get all your information in the discussion thread.

Combat squads were typically given 'provisional' training in stealth at the best of times. Voldresk even in his older state would live to continue proving that lack of training coverage.

Idir tries to think on how best to follow the thugs and predict where they might be going. While Aballon was home to very different people, functionally a city was a city no matter what planet it was on.
Thundergun feels a bit lost in the situation and tries to navigate the area from avbove with his modest cuttural knowledge

Since I work at a hotel, I was hit by that CrowdStrike thing on multiple levels: my own work computer, the computers for our reservations center, our phone calls AND the flight cancellations cramming even more people in than we already had because we had a bunch of groups having meetings booked!
Despite unfamiliar circumstances, Thundergun finds an advantage in the chase and closes the gap unexpectedly quickly. His fellow Starfinders trail behind. Thundergun can see that the ikeshti and verthani resmeble Lerecti's description. That impression is confirmed when they raise weapons against him.
The ikeshti looks squarely at Thundergun. "Slag him." She follows up with a shot from her hunting rifle. Her aim is off and the powerful slug whizzes over the izalguun's shoulder. The verthani raise their semi-auto pistols.
To save time this round, I'm taking the ikeshti out of order . You're all up.

Voldresk charges hard through the construction site at the sound of gunfire. Years of ingrained training kicking in as he did the quick math necessary to find an angle of approach that would keep him in cover even if it meant exposing himself during the movement.
"Moving to flanking position, will be set up soon." He speaks through the team wide as he slides to a stop behind a piece of construction material.
Run full-action due north 75 feet, flat-footed till the start of my turn, but i should have blocked los for now.
One of the verthani (Green) unleashes a flurry of shots at Thundergun. The shots all go wide. The other verthani (blue) hurries along a row of sleep-cells until he can line up a shot over a steel frame stairway. Despite Thundergun's precautions, this shot is on target.
The ikeshti drops her rifle and snatches up the pike at her feet. She steps forward and jabs at Thundergun's face with the polearm. He easily bats the weapon aside.
Initiative: Idir, Thundergun, Voldresk, KJ are up.

climb dc 10:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 make that in spades, so climbing up and onto the piece of terrain, then using my other action to draw my rifle, finally set up lol don't believe i can draw and fire
Voldresk clambers onto some of the construction equipment gaining a good sightline on the targets as well as this small section of battlefield.
He unslings and shoulders his hunting rifle, which looks to have been modified with an amplifying rail based on the power conduit running from a small charge pack on the stock towards the barrel.
"In position, draw hostiles into open terrain, if possible. Assistive fire will come."

"GANGWAY!" Idir hollers as he bolts past Joro and tries to squeeze through the fencing and the side of the building. Once he gets in position, he raises his gun and opens fire.
Move action 40 ft. to current position, Standard action shoot at Blue.
Idir dashes forward with uncharacteristic bravery and grace. Somehow he squeezes past Knitter and moves to the forefront of the action. His shot is on target, but unluckily hits the chromed cover of blue's comm unit and is deflected harmlessly away.
Thundergun vents his frustration by pounding a drop-hammer fist down at the ikeshti. The ikeshti is quick and deflects most of the blow with her pike haft. She ripostes with a desperate uppercut-like thrust at Thundergun's chin.
The blue-clad verthani whirls to face Idir, and unleashes two rapid shots in the dromada's direction. One whistles harmlessly past Idir and Knitter Joro. Another strikes Idir squarely.
The green garbed verthani fires another pair of panicked shots at Thundergun. Clean misses.

that seems about right for the first combat roll lmao
Voldresk takes a shot towards the thug near the target. His modified firearm erupting in a Thwarping rap as the miniturized projectile is ejected from the barrel via magnetic rails. The bullet pings the wall nearby instead of on target, as his foot slides on the uneven terrain he's taken refuge upon.
He snarls and racks the weapon again taking aim again.
The ikeshti is focused on the largest threat. Lola's distraction goes for naught, but she lands her shot nevertheless.
Knitter Joro is proving himself quite the marksman.
Thundergun lands another punch on the ikeshti. As he draws his fist back, blood flies from the ikeshti's eyes right at his face. Despite the damage she's suffered, the ikeshti raises the stakes on the engagement.
"Badler, a little help here! Pincer!"
The verthani' who's been standing off runs forward, jumps on some timber detritus and fires again at Thundergun. He stumbles slightly on the unsteady lumber and his shot flies wide. The other verthani steps toward the izaluun and throws a gauntleted punch, that gets past Thundergun's guard.
Green can't stay quite far enough away. TG gets an AoO

Taking a tense moment to adjust some of the dials on his modified rifle, before shouldering and taking a calming breath, Voldresk squeezes off another shot into the fray.

Voldresk keeps his sights locked on Ikeshti but speaks into the communicator on his shoulder. "We do not seek death this day, if they surrender then we should give them the honor of submitting to their betters."
Internally he felt awful reciting the old phrase, but he knew there was sound logic in it, much as it pained his soul.

Idir breathes a sigh of relief as the battle seems to end and trots up to the group, keeping his gun up just in case.
"Ms. Izis is correct. And that you were here to abduct or murder said android. A very serious offense, to say the least. Your surrender is indeed the smartest course of action."
"If they were innocent, why'd they have evidence of crimes on their h'ware?" The ikeshti replies somewhat flippantly, but they quickly follow up with, "It's a dark day when contractors steal from each other. You got us. How about you sweeten things up with a finder's fee and I'll take you to where it's stashed?"
Work blowing up again. Should be normal by Thursday. Will post as I can.
Thunderun breathing and slowly stand back at his 4 limbs while people talking. He is still ready to use magic and stop anyones agression. Although he joins Lola's discussion.
-We are following our path and we need information. Which may cost as well as good service. I have some credits to share if we proceed without violence.
