Raptor mutters to Jay, ”I told our mother I would keep an eye on her. When did she learn how to boost a car?” He smirks slightly.
”Heh. I figure someone’s gonna kill us way before a synthbeer does.” Raptor hungrily partakes of what’s on offer. ”I’m game for the run if we’ve got transport.”
”Yeah. Given the welcome reception, we’re not exactly anonymous here.”
Raptor nods in acknowledgment. ”I’m Raptor. Chill is a good change sometimes.”
”So… we good?” Raptor asks.
”What is it?” Raptor looks at Onyx, hoping his sister will know.
”When’s the last time anyone actually saw the sun in Seattle? That Stretch is an odd one.” ”Anyway, yeah, we should see what’s on that vid. Someone could have beaten us to the armory - if we’re going back there, we gotta be careful.”
”Yeah. A fixer might have an ear to the ground, but I don’t know that we want to bring in anyone like that at this point,” Raptor says in between slurping his noodles.
”Something something bringing home the bacon,” Raptor says with a broad grin. He pulls up his massive frame from where he was sprawled out. ”That smells good.” While the bacon cooks, he takes an open spot and begins going through a series of martial arts forms, stretching his body and working out the kinks of an uneasy sleep.
Raptor sheds his bulky coat, and begins peeling off an entire arsenal of weaponry concealed beneath. By the time he is finished, the table is nearly covered. "Don't mind me. I can sleep anywhere."
”Yeah, it’s on them now,” Raptor says, uneasily taking a seat in a kitchen chair.
Raptor nods in agreement and moves back toward the fire escape.
Raptor focuses on the bodyguard while others check the rigger and his gear.
”Trying to take too much invites trouble. Let’s stick with what we can carry,” Raptor suggests. Leaving the tech to others to evaluate, Raptor looks for any weapons that may be around.
"Or do we just take what we want and call it in? They can come by and collect the body if they want."
"Was this the one we were after? Just see what we can grab and message job well done?" Raptor asks.
Raptor grits his teeth and looks out for the traps.
Raptor tosses the drone aside. ”My backup arrived just in time.” He grins at Danny and Figment.
Raptor rushes and tries to topple to turret.
Seeing his opportunity, Raptor proceeds - rushing in at the gun-bot and trying to tackle it so that it cannot aim at him or his companions.
Raptor pops up, ready to spray his target with his SMG.
Raptor looks wide-eyed at Onyx. Note to self - don’t cross her over Sunday dinner. He carefully ascends the ladder to peer over the top.
Raptor pulls a knife from his boot, hoping for a quiet kill if he needs to.
Raptor tries to creep quietly to the top of the fire escape. (Assuming he can reach it…) he peers cautiously up to the roof.
Raptor tries to move quietly up the stairs, so as not to cause further alarm. (Basically advancing to Danny’s position or 5 meters, whichever is shorter.)
"I think we can do this," Raptor says. He moves up the stairs after Danny.
Raptor nods at Onyx.
Raptor nods, but is ready to follow.
"Should we check the roof?" Raptor whispers, indicating the stairs continuing up.
”Hmph. You have experience with that sort of thing, Jay?” Raptor whispers.
Raptor nods. ”Sounds like a plan.”
Raptor tells them what he has seen. ”The back is patrolled by some sort of drone - like a tank. We might be able to sneak past, but that’s a delicate operation. I don’t think we could take it out quietly.” ”There’s a ladder - like a fire escape - but we’d need a boost up to it. Or we focus on going in the front.”
Raptor nods and begins making his way back to the others.
Raptor backs off a little and whispers to Danny, "Guy's got a tank. A little drone job, but... a tank. We might be able to sneak by it - it's following a set path - but that just separates us from the others. I'm thinking we look for another way in. Taking that thing out could wake up the neighborhood. What do you say?"
”Paranoid bastard… not without good reason I guess,” Raptor mutters.
Raptor points out the trip line. ”Best to avoid it,” he whispers. ”We don’t know if disabling it could trigger an alarm.” He continues sneaking toward the back of the building.
Raptor raises a hand to signal Danny to stop. He points in the direction of the light.
”Maybe we check out the lot behind?” Raptor whispers to Danny. ”The fire escape won’t be easy from here.”
Raptor moves quietly toward the building. Expecting trouble, he takes his composite bow off his shoulder. If there are any threats, he wants to be ready to take them out quietly. He sizes up the building and decides to check out the back first.
”If we want to scout ahead, I should join,” Raptor says, ”in case things get dicey.”
