"I think we're clearer if we take the long way, but there's no way to say for how long," Ascia scans the street again before turning back to the members of Perturbator, "Are you parked near where we came in? Or do we need to pack the lot into the van and find drop you somewhere?"

Robert shakes his head, returning his goggles to normal sight. "We're risking ourselves either way, I can't give you a best case for which to choose. Alright Tojiro, make the call! We'll follow your lead."

Koun sighs at the shitstorm outside, "Yeah, great night for the scenic route. Always pick the path with the least crossfire."

Chapter 1: A Night to Remember

The group heads out towards the quieter area, along the way the street is lined with bloody smears and the odd corpse and wreckage, it is quite obvious that there has been fighting this way also, the Perturbator crew sticks close to the group, following along fitfully, their wide-eyed stares shattering their usual cool veneer. As the group makes their way through darken streets, Robert notices a flash of light coming from far above. The light quickly dissipates into nothingness before a thunderous roar tears through the otherwise silent street. From above a mass of glass, cement, and other unknowable things falls upon the street. Xander and Lia manage to dodge out of the way without much problem, the rest of the group are not so lucky as the raining debris falls on them causing some injuries, Tojiro catches a shard of glass on his forehead opening a decent sized gash, Robert is hit on the shoulder by something blunt and now unrecognizable material, Tanya and the Perturbator crew do not fair any better as they all take some damage from the debris.

Scattered and battered the group file into formation once more and continue on towards the intersection a little worse for wear. The intersection is dark and empty, gunshots can be heard coming from the northern streets, however the van and safety are due east. Turning east the group continues on into the desolate area, this part of town seems to not have faced much fighting. The crew's progress comes to a sudden halt when they come face to face with a couple of very anxious looking, armed to the gills, Arasaka soldiers, they block you way and aim their rifles towards the group. "You there, identify yourselves!" One of them shouts at the top of their lungs. "Who are you?"
Damage rolls:
Tojiro 1d6 DMG = 5
Robert 1d6 DMG = 4
Tanya 1d6 DMG = 3

Tojiro raises his synthetic arm non-threateningly, his real hand pressed against his wounded forehead.

"Hold! We're musicians! Someone blew up our party, man."

Robert also raises his hands, trying his best to look harmless and pathetic. It isn't too much of an act, given how helpless he knows he is right now. "I'm just a roadie, dude. Set up the speakers and the lighting and stuff." He points back towards the club they were hanging out at. "I don't know what's going on, just trying to run away home."

Lia, carrying a wired SMG and a neon pink katana doesn't bother trying to look harmless. "We're not your opposition, we just want to get out of the way." She makes sure to point the gun down and away from the soldiers.

The nervous soldiers look at the group carefully, their guns trained at them, their bodies visibly relax a bit after Robert's comments, the pair lower their guns a bit before commenting "Are you going in that direction?" He points towards the dark street behind them. "Better be careful. Death roams back there." His eyes widened a bit at the mention of death.

The pair slink back into the shadows of the alley from which they had emerged, the group continues on moving as fast as possible, eyes peek from windows and quickly hide once more at the sight of the armed group, once the group reaches the intersection the soldier's words become quite obvious the group comes face to face with what can only be described as a killing field, there are wrecks burning everywhere, blood and guts decorate the street. The group comes to a halt at the gruesome sight

Robert backs up so fast he slams a knee into the wall of the alley, hisses in pain, and hops in place while his leg recovers. His stomach churns with nausea, but he manages just barely not to be violently sick. "Oh god oh god oh god ..." he mutters, trying to figure out if it is even possible to cross without being turned into ground chuck. His van might be one more charred block of steel and plastic, and they're running straight into their deaths for no chance of gain.

Robert and Tojiro look around at the carnage, carefully making sure that they are safe before taking a step forwards, around them the husks of flaming vehicles bellow smoke out like chimney stacks, the pair reach an overturned armored vehicle, the back hatch is slightly ajar, Tojiro notices a small hand on sitting between the heavy reinforced doors, it weakly moves reaching out to anything and anyone around.
