>>>>>[ Seems I have a few moments, here, in which I ken utilize th'
presence
a my deck...so, here goes!

2200 -- Sniper squad arrived, to relieve InterPol guards on inner court duty.
Identification checked-passed thru, with assistance of Buzz. First half
of shift uneventful. Keneda & I staked out appropriate snipin positions,
traced escape route fer ambulance team. Set Mirage, Sabre & Collossus
on markin OWN path of escape.

0200 hrs. -- Identification re-checked. Harlequin passed it thru. Mirage &
myself spent second half of shift explorin ARCANE security measures.
What we found were watchers. Not many, but th' number would be TRIPLED,
by trial-time. They wouldn't, however, pose much of a problem.

0600 hrs. -- Shift ends. Day shift arrives, to relieve us. Each member removes
InterPol armour...leavin us ready ta don Crimson Sky uniforms. Armour
stashed unobtrusively, at positions each had chosen ta secure. Regrouped in
unused corner of courtroom foyer. Mirage cloaked all in invisibility. Each took
turns at attainin an hour an' a half of meditaion or rest,
excludin, of course, Mirage.

0918 hrs. -- Sabre discovered by courtroom guard. He was quickly an' quietly
dispatched...a regrettable action. But, one which had ta be taken, ta
secure th' success of our mission.

1000 hrs. -- All members secured their positions.

1018 hrs. -- Jackson gave us th' signal. Colossus detonated diversionary
grenades. I placed a shot just ta th' left of Jackson's spine, with
th' slug enterin his back, immediately above th' left kidney. Keneda
placed his shot even with my own, from th' left side. Jackson fell, an'
Keneda an' I donned our InterPol armour again, makin our way down inta
th' crowd, where we joined th' party escortin th' "medics". I concealed
th' rifle beneath th' stretcher, which Fast Track had modified, fer th'
purpose.

1022 hrs. -- We escorted th' "medics" from th' courthouse, via a side door.
Th' crowd twas IMMENSE...twas difficult ta wend our way thru it. But,
we made it ta th' waitin ambulance, with lil' in th' way a trouble...
UNTIL Fast Track activated th' siren...*sigh* This RAPIDLY drew th'
attention of th' crowd...AN' their WRATH! One of th' two guards with us
spotted th' butt of th' rifle, then...an' believed he had recognized me.
As he drew his weapon on me, however, I removed his feet from under him,
an' he was dragged down by th' crowd. They commenced ta tear him...
quite literally, limb-from-limb, in their rage. This removed ONE problem
guard. Keneda & I used th' press of th' crowd, ta force th' remainin
away. Unfortunately, this man panicked, an' laid hold a my jacket,
pullin me away from th' ambulance. Keneda attemted ta aid me, but I
ordered him inta th' ambulance, an' told Fast Track ta leave. A bit
reluctantly, he complied.

I was forced inta a confrontation with several people in th' crowd, after
they had dismembered th' second guard. Most assuredly, I would have met
my demise at their hands, as well...if not fer th' arrival of some rogue
mage's high-force water elemental. It managed ta knock me offa' my feet, an'
seemed quite intent on engulfin me. I have no doubts in my mind tha' it WOULD HAVE,
had Th' Baron not stepped in, at tha' moment. Seein tha'
he had th' situation under control, I left th' elemental with a partin
shot...an' caught up with th' ambulance team.

Jackson had since regained a measure of consciousness, an' was expendin
his energy in a loud string a complaints...which I quickly asked him ta
curb. We then departed, ta rondezvous with Silver.

Thus ends MY report, chummers! ]<<<<<
