Tojiro hisses at Robert, "Hold up, think I see a kid." He pulls a chunky multitool from a pocket and extends a telescoping dental mirror, squinting intently at it as he raises it to peek in the small gap between doors. The hydraulics of his arm hissing softly as they pressurize, readying to jaws of life a door off the hinges.

"Is it even safe? Either you get shot or the kid does, or even worst, both of yal get shot." Xander whispered to Tojiro, trying to stay out of firing range of... anything that could be there. He does though, at least look to see if there is a possible covering to use.
Perception i guess?

Ascia drops into a crouch beside Tojiro, scanning the area with her SMG. "Nobody gets shot unless I say so, be quick." Her finger sits away from the trigger, knowing the muscle is far slower than the thought she'll use to fire.

Robert is still favoring his banged-up leg, so stays where he is leaning against the wall. He pulls out his pistol as well. He can at least provide cover should it become needed.

The group covers Tojiro as he approaches the overturned vehicle, behind him everyone is looking in every direction, tension fills the air. Tojiro pryes open the vehicle's door. A small 12 or 13 year old kid tumbles out of the back of the vehicle landing face up on the cold bloodied floor, immediately something seems off, the kid has been heavily modified with cyberware, so much so that most of his head is covered by wares many of which have odd plugs that Tojiro does not recognize. The kid's arms and neck are heavily bandaged and the bandages are caked with blood. Cables run from the cyberware somewhere into the back of the truck, Tojiro carefully unplugs the cables slowly, the kid twitches violently and lets out a soundless scream, convulsions overwriting his system for a couple of seconds before he passes out.

Tojiro stares in horror, "Who'd do this to a kid?" He recovers his wits and calls out to the group, "Someone, preferably big or a bad shot, come grab the kid! Can't leave him here." He turns his gaze to something he better understands, armored paneling. He forces the door open further, squatting down to attempt to disassemble or break off the hinges. He mutters to himself, "Mostly in tact, should stop small arms and sharpnel...."

Robert limps over, he leg getting back to normal. He shuffles over to Tojiro to help out. Cyberware is one of his hobby interests, so he might know something of exactly how strange these implants are, and maybe how to help the kid.
Got a 12 on my Cyberware roll (only rolled a 2, *grumble grumble*). Do I know anything more, looking at the kid and what I can see of the inside of the truck?

"Geez, the kid ok? That looks like a lot of tek for a kid so young. I think the most I've seen on a kid that young is like, stuff for a busted leg or something to help with ADD." Xander pointed out, looking over the kid, not as much as Robert since he was no doctor or professional, but the kid seemed in pain

Robert walks up to the unconscious kid, he inspects the cyberware and quickly realizes that whatever the cyberware is, it is well beyond anything he has ever seen before, Robert moves to look inside the truck, the inside is lined with computers and various apparatus that he does not recognize.

Tojiro handily snaps the head off the hinge pins with a minor effort, glancing between the hardware the kid was hooked up to and the limp form, "Either experimental or highly proprietary plugs. If it's for electronic warfare, it's shit against whatever hellfire rained down this street." He crouch walks around to the next door, "Take a door if it's not to heavy, who know what else we'll get caught in tonight."
