>>>>>[ Hoi. Just a quick note to thank everyone for their hard work last
night. A fixer by the name of Navaah was able to hook me up with a young
rotorcraft pilot named Goku. I have a sneaking suspicion its was Goku's
first run, but I think we gave him a pretty good idea on how a run should
go.

Not one bullet was fired.

Goku did an excellent job providing the way in transportation. With
Shields and Puppet assisting to keep unwanted questions from being asked.

Blitzkrieg got the rest of us in without tripping any alarms. He also
defeated the alarms on the door, so that we were able to take the slime by
surprise. Luckily enough, I managed to put the slime to sleep before he
did any more damage.

We found that the boy was pretty abused, but alive in the bedroom.
Doomsday is an absolute wonder with children. The girl was sitting
synth-taped to a chair. Blitzkrieg was curious about the chair, and found
out the startling fact that the chair was a pressure sensitive bomb. If
the weight significantly increased or decreased, then the bomb would go
off.

The rest of the team took the boy (that Doomsday shielded so the little
girl wouldn't see how bad he was off) and the slime out of the building
through the route that we were planning to use on our way out. They then
went back to a dealer that Blitzkrieg and I know and Blitzkrieg borrowed
some equipment. While there, Blitzkrieg tended to the boy's injuries.
Doomsday elected to stay behind to comfort the boy and keep an eye on the
then drugged father.

The rest of them headed back. Blitzkrieg said that had a little bit of a
fun time trying to enter from the ground into the building unnoticed, but I
guess it went smoothly. It took Blitzkrieg about a half-hour to completely
disarm the bomb. We then safely got the girl off the bomb, and removed the
bomb from the building.

All in all, a pretty exciting night. Blitzkrieg, I never knew that you
have a habit of humming classical music while disarming bombs. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Fair play is fair play. You deserve a lot of credit for keeping
that girl absolutely calm, both while we were in the apartment and not in
the apartment. Luckily, I don't think they truly realize a) that we were
carrying live ammo or b) that she was sitting on a bomb. I didn't know you
knew a lot of old children stories.

It was a stroke of brilliance to use LSS SWAT team uniforms to disguise us
as well. Thanks for the work and the pay. Glad things worked out. What
ended up with the husband? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ In the end, I think she just put him on a one way ticket to
somewhere in Japan. By the time he becomes completely aware of what is
going on, he should be somewhere in the middle of a sprawl without too many
people who speak his language.

I don't think she had it quite in her to kill him, despite everything. The
kids are doing better now that they are back with their mother. ]<<<<<
