*nods*
"Of course, if asked, I'm here to do my part, is there a briefing?"
J
He hands you a picture. "This man has given orders regarding the mass genocide of several races of people. Now that the orders have begun to be carried out, he is guilty of crimes against life and must be eliminated. You will be dropped at an entry point past his guards, must not be seen by anyone other than the target; it is irrelevant if he sees you. You are to put this cyanide capsule," he hands it to you, "in his mouth and hold his mouth and nose shut; after he has passed, you are to break this tooth," (he shows you a diagram) "releasing the poison within his mouth. As we wish this to look like a suicide, you are not to leave any trace."
It is a picture of Adolf Hitler.
*Nods*
"Understood, what are the capabilities of the recruits, they are all at least capable of stealing and hiding? Am I to take point, or am I there to watch, observe and head off problems?"
*pauses*
"Barring that I am ready to go. What are the names of the recruits?"
J
"I'm sorry, this man is your target; the others have different targets they are to strike simultaneously in seperate places. The only concern you will have is yourself; your target is the most well-guarded and renowned."
*Nods*
"Then I will go, I will leave the bulk of my equipment here, just taking my Katana, since that is all I will need."
J
He gives you the directions to the place to cut your hole into reality.
*I go to the place, I cut my hole, and go through it, immediately look for a hiding spot, and put my blade back in the scabbard quietly. All my stealth skills are 3@1. Once I am listening and don't hear anyone walking, I will move silently, and start looking for my target.*
J
You are moving quietly, and reach the closed door that you presume leads to Hitler's quarters; you hear the resounding crack of a single gunshot from the other side of the door.
*shakes his head, either a test to see what he will do or a setup, go back to the point where I went in, cut my way back out and find a place and time a half hour early and replay my mission again*
J
When you return, Imidge asks what happened.
"Hitler was shot either by his own hand or by someone else inside his room, since we have decided he dies, and by what method, I am going back a half hour to do the deed in the way instructed. I will also wait to see if there was another person involved from stealth. He does not get to decide to end his own life, we do."
J
Imidge goes through a stack of papers in his hand. "If what you're saying is true, then something isn't right; according to our notes, he survives the assault on Berlin, escapes unnoticed, and later in life resurfaces behind the scenes to complete his life's work. Either someone else interfered who isn't on our records, or what you witnessed was him faking his own death. Either way, we're going to need you to determine what exactly is going on; you have permission to reveal yourself to the assassin. Just be sure to do away with them once you find out who they're working for; be thorough in secrecy, Elder."
*Nods*
"A half an hour earlier then."
*Retreives his Lightsabres and slips them into his suit*
"I am ready to go back in."
*finds a spot to cut, 30 minutes before, and mirrors his same route, this time listening at the door for more than one person breathing, entering when it is safe, and hiding in a position to intercede if something happens*
J
Bod bra? 3@8 strength? Sounds good to me for this moment.
38 26 31 = 95
No failures in the first 39 rolls.
§
You sneak down the hall, and hear two people talking quietly outside the door.
You creep inside and see Hitler and his wife talking to each other. Hitler is talking in Deustch, and his wife is as well; English and German are similar enough that you get the general gist of what they're saying; he's talking about what an excellent plan this is, to fake his death and in so doing escape; she is agreeing with him, but seems anxious, as if she's hiding something. He doesn't seem to realize this.
§
Difficult intuition check passed
§
There's a scriff sense coming from the woman.
*Str is 3@7, but once I finish my stat training, Agility will take it over at 3@10*
*crap crap crap, if she is a verser, she can sense me and would only take a step in any direction and back to pinpoint him.*
*Do a Mind Reading on her, hopefully she is thinking in english*
J
You don't read thoughts in foreign languages, you read thoughts in ideas; technically you can use telepathy to communicate with someone through a language barrier.
Could I get your psi bra, abl, and sal for mind reading?
*PSI BRA is: 3@1 Willpower, Bias is 13@10, 3@1 Read Minds P1@1, and I do have a 3@1 Telepathy to Humans P1@3*
31, 31 = 62.
18 is in there.
§
She intends to kill Hitler so that all the terrible things he will do later won't happen, then escape from here.
*Since my directives are very clear, I am going to put a 3@1 Suggestion P1@4, that she should sleep in her mind, since I have contact, and when she does down, rush up behind Hitler and 2@10 Immobilizer B7@5 probably on the back of the neck, to knock him out so I can do the deed, grab her and get her far enough away from here to question her.*
*Look for a window or another exit to facilitate an exit without going to the inbetween*
J
The roll's 82, I don't even have to crunch.
§
Your psionic suggestion fails to take hold.
There are no windows here.
*I will change the suggestion she excuse herself to the rest room to calm herself for what she needs to do, take 5 minutes, get centered and come back with resolve*
J
Which one of us is going to bump it?
bump
Let's bump, paper, scissors for it.
67, closer to before the negative sitmods, but no cigar.
§
Your suggestion fails to reach her again; she and her husband are now kissing one another passionately, and you suspect this will lead to more.
*I will wait till she is in a compromising position on him, and use 2@10 Immobilizer B7@5 her than him, this is getting more and more messed up, but it is slightly amusing, that I tried to do it before this happened.*
J
You begin to come out of hiding, and then he tenses and she yells out a word that doesn't belong on a forum, regardless of the language. She climbs off of him, and is yelling at him in German. He seems spent and ignorant of her upset.
*Sighs, I have two hands, as long as she's not looking at me, I don't care if he is, use one hand on each in the neck area to Immobilize them*
J
26 30 38 = 94 before target value adjustments.
Who are you going for first?
*Her, she is the one who can't see me, him can see me since he will die, I figure if I change into other clothes, and she is not an assassin, I question her, let her on her way. I didn't reveal the existence of the Black Ninja, and won't have to kill a verser to make an enemy for life. They are both nakid, I know there is no armor :P*
No armor, but still a target value. 84 is a miss, 15 is a hit, professional level so it's RS = D/N, and he gets a difficult will power check. 29, he's not a chump but that's not in there. Can I see the information regarding your specific immobilizer? or is it not present yet?
*No but this plan and everything about it has gone to s*it, since I can't make a single dice roll when I need it, It's just immobilizer. I really don't care about him, it's her that can't see me*
J
The concern was whether he would scream, but since it's an immobilizer and not a pain attack we'll go with no. Looking it up, looks like this should be an @7 incapacitation attack used in this circumstance, we'll make it RS/10 minutes unconscious, 20 for professional level, so 40 minutes for him to be out.
§
You attempt to grab them both; she realizes your presence and dodges nimbly out of the way; him you manage to get ahold of.
She says something in German to you, pushing down and straightening out her dress, and her hand comes up with a gun in it, but it isn't pointed at either you or your mark, it's just out. Your mark is incapacitated and unconscious for the moment.
§
I don't know why it's listed @5, mark it up to @7 for an incapacitation attack.
*sighs*
"I don't speak German, and there is no gun made that I am worried about. We are both after the same thing, although you weren't suppose to see me, so that is a problem."
J
She asks in an American sounding accent, midwestern, "You speak English? What are you doing here? How did you get here? Don't step towards me or I'll put a bullet in your eye."
*smiles*
"Well I like your moxie, *taking off his mask*. I'm Jhiaxus, Disciple of Odin, I got here through a means I can't talk about for your safety. I am going to kill Hitler and make it look like suicide, in fact I first came here after you shot him, so I had to rewind time a bit to see just who you were. I was able to read your mind, and your intentions, but not who you are working for. You are a verser, so you might just be doing it because it's the right thing to do and I agree. I am not here to hurt you. You might have killed him to make it look like a suicide, I had to make sure he didn't decide to off himself. He doesn't get to decide if he gets to take his own life."
J
"He wants to get away and make it look like he meant to. In my home world, he convinced everyone, then came back later in life, and, using nuclear weaponry, wiped the Jewish people off the planet, as well as almost everyone else. He's a madman, and he needs to be stopped. I met him, seduced him, and now, I'm going to kill him. What I've done is for the good of this world; since even his top men think he's going to kill himself, this is a perfect plan, and I've made a few alterations to his decoy to make them think it's me. It was a perfect plan, but now you're here; and what am I supposed to do?"
She seems frazzled; frazzled and holding a gun are two things that do not go well together, but she is holding herself together remarably well, not shaking at all in spite of the emotion.
*nods*
"I understand that, and I agree with you. He still is going to kill himself, and his men will think it suicide. I respect what you are doing, but maybe you should put the gun away, not that I'm scared of it, but firing it will attract undue attention. My problem, is that he needs to die by this way, and I need to do it. You need me to do it this way, since this was suppose to be an in an out mission. You are a verser, and I don't want an enemy for eternity, so I am trying to figure out a way for this to work out where you don't hate me, and for us to both get what we want. What's your name, let's start there, you already know mine."
J
"Eva," she says. "Eva Braun. I was a police officer, and later joined the military to try to put a stop to Hitler's New Germany. We had electric guns that used scriff to instantly disintegrate a person; when mine leaked on me, I found out the hard way that we weren't actually disintegrating the neo Nazis."
*smiles*
"Good to meet you Eva, I'm Jhiaxus, I had a mishap with a Laptop with scriff, spent a thousand years in a 2 room house training, and then got versed out by a snake verser, but not before I melted his face through his body with a lightsabre. I then landed on a world, that is a dimentional trap, technically I'm still there, I just get time off for good behavior. You were a Police Officer and Military, so you understand about organizations. When I say I can talk about what I belong to, or the how's or why's things have to be the way they are, it's because they don't like others knowing about them. I am trying to figure a way out of this situation. I think you are a good person, I think I am a good person, so trying to keep us both good people and on friendly terms, since you never know who you will bump into in the verse."
