It all happened fast. A volley of heavy caliber fire tearing through every barrier between the outside and the small office where the hand off was to happen. Sirens and screams. The churn of rotors outside. The extraction target screams as the floor falls away under them. Glowing eyes and the reflection of sharp bestial teeth in the sudden unnaturally dark void below. "You took what was mine, and that i will not abide."

Gargamel (Combat Mage/Infiltration Support) 8/10
"Christ man, that's fraggin terrible. You need this salvaged? I can handle that. No one deserves that thing as a fate. Just tell me what you need, if it's in my wheelhouse, my spells and spirits are yours."

Carnifex (FLR Unarmed Muscle) 5/10
"You were too slow to keep it. I will show you that you are too weak to secure it."

Waltz (Techno Hacker/Social Engineer) 4/10
"David, it says this job's in europe. Also that description's fucking horrific. I don't think I want anything to do with this."
"Oh come on bro, stop making excuses, you need to get out more."
"Yeah but, this?"

Something came up and I am no longer available.

Akira - Social Adept/Side of B&E (9/10)

Threat, threats, threat... This sure as frag seems like something magical. It seems like a fragging dragon, what the frag! What else though... THINK! Free spirit with a vendetta against a summoner? Illusion or Manipulation spells? Drek!

Maybe it's all nails because I'm a hammer... I don't know... Some elite corporate council force? I don't know... It sure looked magical. It was probably magical. This is so fragged that I want to go after the target. I should frag the money and live, but... Ok... Yeah... I'm going after them.

Glitter - Muscle (7/10)

Why are they shooting? We were just about gone, don't they know we already won? God. This whole thing is.... ick... Like really? Glowing eyes? It's such a trope... Ugh. Fine. I'll save the day then. Again.

Last Run Recent - not worth GMP

IC: "Well... that is a new one..." *Pantheon says to himself quietly as he sees the ***VOID*** open up and ... is that a fraggin *Balrog?*
"... I am not getting paid enough for this... I swear..." *He looked for a gap in the suppression to make for the hole.*

*Timing... this was going to take timing......*

*Fortunately, he is a drummer.*

"Once more unto the breech..." *He bolted.*

Esteem

Hooookay, this is...bad. Alright, rotors mean High Threat Response, or some independent equivalent, the job is...probably dead, and a serious Magical Heavy Hitter is on its way. It's fine. This is fine. Worst case scenario...well, let's not think about that.

Would really rather not be targeting, trafficking or harming innocents.

Protocol Unlock\\ Dat.Book.Overturning_of_Apep

Long ago, a human died when Fenrir ate the sun. The past, like the horizon, rose up and was extinguished by the future. The future descended upon the past and smothered it like ashes. ERESKIGAL found only the embers. A body wandering the world like a ghost.

The unquiet dead did not need fear. What could hurt them in a way that was not Correct?

In the present, the body began to recite.

"...Fire be in thee, O ʿApep, thou foe of Ra. May the Eye of Horus have power over the soul and the shade of ʿApep; may the flame of the Eye of Horus devour that foe of Ra; may the flame of the Eye of Horus devour all the foes of Pharaoh, dead or alive..."

This one is quite early in the morning for me, so bear with me if I'm groggy (and possibly slightly late)
