Rundown

Tanaka was having perhaps the worst day of his life since the day his son was murdered... After escaping the guest area he was hurriedly escorted to the terminal where his AV transport had been docked... Only to stop when an explosion rang out, and gunfire started.

He'd tried to persuade his protectors to continue, but they'd decided that even if they reached the AV, the EMP would have disabled it for the time being... That's not mentioning the likelihood of it turning into a firefight. No matter how many eddies Tanaka had, they were worthless if everyone was dead.

Thus they started to go to the prison guard quarters and barracks, making their way past the blockades set up to prevent the now rioting prisoners and hostile forces from reaching the armoury

"AARRGGHHKK!"

"RUUUN!!"

Tanaka's eyes shoot down a wing and spot a group of twenty-five prison guards getting utterly torn apart by a blur, it looked as if strings of lightning were magnetically attracted to their bodies, splitting them in so many pieces that it was almost comical... Almost, this wasn't an XBD, and Tanaka felt his gut rise in his throat as he saw the trail of death making its way towards him.

"Get your dumb ass moving god damn it!" the guard angrily shouts and pushes the stunned Tanaka forwards. They sprint past some security bots and through some armoured doors, just as they step through however they come face to face with a small crowd of prisoners...

"Hey, Tanaka, fancy seein' you here." David Martinez smirks, and Tanaka could only swallow his saliva at the line of prison guard corpses behind them.

"S-shit! RUN!" one of Tanaka's guards shouts, raising his rifle at the group who all immediately aim their own. Tanaka sprints down the hallway towards the armoury as bullets start flying, only a single guard accompanying him in his retreat.

"YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER TANAKA!" David shouts while gunning down two men, pausing his pursuit when two security bots from another wing step onto the field as reinforcements.

----------------------

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..." Tanaka's protector rapidly mutters under his breath, clearly distraught over the situation... The Corpo wasn't any different, inwardly wondering how he fell into this trap. His need to confront the murderer of his son had been a severe lapse in judgment...

"Get yourself together! We need to escape, or at least survive until reinforcements arrive to secure the prison!" Tanaka exclaims, temporarily burying his own fears.

"Y-yeah... Come on, we're almost at the armoury, the guys'll have barricaded it up to the gills."

----------------

[Lucy, Kiwi, you in the system yet?] asks over the comms, the nanites having repaired and rerouted his software and Interface.

[Almost, there's Netrunners running interference...] - Lucy

[Give us five-ten minutes, we'll have it done.] - Kiwi

Ori silently nods to himself as he splits yet another man in half before crashing through some security doors... Once the dust clears, he's greeted with a dozen or so rifles pointed at his face by orange-garbed prisoners.

"The fuck are you!?"

"Oi! That's your ticket out of here!" David exclaims, stepping forwards and clasping arms. "You're late!"

"Didn't you say that was fashionable?" Ori retorts.

"Only on drunken benders, otherwise it just makes you an asshole."

"Well, make that exception next time. 'sides, the EMP put me outta comish for a bit, plus the crash landing." Ori shakes his head, "Any sight on Tanaka? The others are dealing with his transport."

David nods and throws his arm out down the large hallway, "He's with the guards in the armoury, we're on our way to take it... No way we're-" his flitter to the nearby prisoners, an obvious ruse, "Getting out alive with that firepower, the NCPD won't allow it."

He nods, "Right, well we better get on it then." he is Kunai-tipped Monowire crackles with electricity.

"We needa figure out a way to remove this chip in my neck too, it's fucking with my home and I'm pretty sure it's got a tracker on it too." David adds.

"I'll get the girls on it, they'll disable it and we'll remove it later."

-------------------

Tanaka hides behind a large metal locker in the armoury room. Fifty or so guards plus twelve security bots had been positioned around the single entry, ready to unleash all the firepower they have at anyone stupid enough to enter.

He'd had a rifle shoved into his grasp too, the men claiming that he better learn how to defend himself as no one present was willing to die for him today... They were average joes, not beholden to Arasaka for his safety.

...

...

An eerie silence reigns and everyone present shuffles uncomfortably, their knuckles turning white as they tightly grip their weapons.

"T-think they left...?"

"No. Don't be stupid..."

"B-but why aren't they here yet!?"

"I don't-" one guard starts but pauses when he notices small sparks occurring around the circuits of the security bots, their green 'eyes' turning red as they slowly turn to the group. "THE BOTS ARE COMPROMISED! TAKE FUCKING COVEHHIYUHK!" the guy explodes into red mist as two robots fire at him simultaneously.

During this distraction, the single entrance to the room slams open as a figure burst through, lightning cutting swathes of men apart. Add the large group of men in orange jumpsuits as the guards were quickly overwhelmed and slaughtered...

Tanaka shoots a few shots of his own before running dry and throwing the gun at an eager-looking prisoner. He smashes his gorilla fist into the man's face and tries to crawl away, but is forced to stop as a foot drops in his path... He looks up and gulps at the smirking face of David... "M-Mercy..."

"Pfft, mercy...? You're dumber than I thought." he laughs and brings his foot down, knocking the man unconscious.
