K.
So FFP is Dextrous, can Scan, can Sneak.
It's healy, scouty, and we've got some cloud attacks.

We've got a few guns and a hookshot, plus some stuff we haven't identified yet.

Question.
How loyal is Fat-Fot-Pot to us?
If it gets injured in combat, is it likely to run away?
If we're going into a risky situation, will it desert?
I'm wondering just how much leeway we have with FFP.

Yellowman and Fat-Fot-Pot plummet through a corridor of multicolored light, dragging you along for the ride given that you are voices residing in the former's head. Then the golden Tarot card, the Fool, pulses warmly and all goes black, even for you.

"New York City," a pleasant female voice says as an image of the metropolis begins to appeal in the midst of the darkness. "Circa 1982. A prototyping laboratory hidden under Battery Park is testing a teleportation gate, the first of its kind. You must reach this lab and enter the gate. Your card will automatically activate it and send you to the next stage when you do. Don't get hurt!"

The darkness peels back as awareness returns to you and Yellowman. You at the top of the Statue of Liberty, overlooking New York. There is no one else around, but there is a small crowd you can see milling around the base of the statue.

Posting issues, sorry for the delay.

>>24135350
Hey Scott. The card told me we need to go to Battery Park, and it's roughly 1982.
We got any way of concealing weapons?

>>24135350
>>24135374

We also need a way of concealing our three diminutive alien friends. If Yellowman has a knapsack of some sort, he might be able to pass them off as toys or figurines in a cursory inspection.

"Hey Fats," Yellowman says, turning to his alien comrade. "You ever been in a fight before?"

"Uh... not really." Fat says.

"Nope!" Pot says. "But if we ever got in a scrap, I bet I could really kick some tube! I've been practicing my spore blow for a while now!"

"Yeah, thanks to Pot, our fighting ability really blows," Fat says, shifting its leaves. "Don't worry, worst to worse we can always run away."

"Unless YOU'RE gonna stay and fight! Scouts gotta stick together!" Pot says, with emphasis. "But... ah... if things go south, don't feel like you have to impress us."

"Yeah, just get moving if if looks bad. We'll follow your lead!"

>>24135350
Hey Scott. Let's head inside the statue. You got anything that you can use to conceal your weapons, and Fat-Fot-Pot?
Also, look for a wall outlet. You should be able to charge your suit using the Power Recharger.

This first world could be pretty useful to us; it's Earth, and we may be able to barter or steal a lot of stuff that will help us in future worlds, like a trenchcoat to conceal our weapons, a military knapsack to store stuff, and components to fix the damaged commset.

>>24135350
Attempt to conceal anything that'd set off a panic in local populaces (weapons, FLOATY ALIEN COMPANIONS, etc.). Make sure the Emitter is on and functioning properly. Make your way down the Statue of Liberty and catch the ferry.

Be on the lookout for anything useful, and expect traps from the other racers.

>>24135374
"Uh... Not WITH me," Scott grimaces. "And yeah, I heard what the card said."

"So did we," Fat says. "Some sort of broadband psychic emanation? I guess it doesn't matter."

"Too bad you don't have a trenchcoat! You could just put on one over your gear! And look really snazzy to boot!" Pot puts in.

"You're just saying that because of all those old detective movies you made us watch," Fat says. "It's probably not nearly that easy to hide weapons."

"And how would you know? You've never picked up a weapon in your life!" Pot shoots back.

"Because you're the one charged with defense, and you ARE a weapon!" Fat replies.

"Break it up, break it up," Yellowman says, sighing.

"Sorry, boss."

"Sorry."

>>24135448
Trenchcoat and Backpack are useful items that should be easily obtainable from any surplus store.

>>24135471
>The spider-like creature self of Fat-Fot-Pot is capable of separating himself from the trio, leaping off his hover-disc, and scouting ahead. His small size along with silent demeanor and natural talent gives Fot a +10 to Stealth when doing this.
Should we have Fot scout, or do it ourselves?
I'm thinking do it ourselves to avoid the risk of someone seeing Fot and panicking.

>>24135493
Come on guys, let's get moving.
Scott, there should be an electrical outlet somewhere inside the Statue; charge up your suit real quick.
Then we've got to figure out a way to get some money.

Though, doesn't it strike people as odd, why the start and destination points would be so close, and so easily accessible? I mean, you just get on the ferry, and then a subway ride, then a taxi.
Something feels off.

>>24135571
Could be something in the water.
Might as well add it to "shit to look at".

>>24135571

The starting points could be randomly scattered across New York. Yellowman might have had the fortune of starting close to the stage exit.

But it's still an underground secret laboratory, probably staffed by paranoid guards and all the security measures that a Cold-War America can muster. Finding the entrance will be the hardest part.

"Jesus, it looks like one of the buildings out there in Battery Park is on fire... And there's like a crashed vehicle or something by the coast there, looks like... an airspeeder? Whatever it was, it's scrap now."

"What a view!" Pot says, happily. "Wish I'd brought my disc with the holocam installed on it!"

"Wish you'd brought one with a gun, but oh well," Scott comments, turning from the view and heading for the stairs. "We'd better double time it."

>>24135724
Well shit.
Haul ass.
Is there a Ferry to take you straight to Manhattan?
We might be too far behind schedule for anything. Might as well look for a shop directly on our way (for Trenchcoat, Backpack, Fishing line, Lighter), but not go out of our way at all.
Time is of the essence, it seems.

>>24135765

If the other contestants have already raised hell in NY and caused a state of emergency, there might be a chance that the ferry and other tourist transportation services would be closed for the day. Similarly, there may be other contestants stranded on this island that Yellowman may have to watch out for.

Check for the ferry's status once we get down there. use the cover story that we're a walking advertisement for a toy manufacturer of some sort. Instruct the floaty guys to be quiet and play along.

MAXIMUM PARANOIA mode should be online now. There may indeed be other racers stranded on the island. Also, watch for traps!

>>24135884
I'm thinking we should only be at 6/10 or 7/10 paranoia right now. MAX PARANOIA might make us stand out too much in the crowd.

"Wish it was day," Yellowman says, glancing at the full moon as he emerges from the statue at the ground floor. He picks his way past yellow tape marked 'Do Not Cross.' "I'd have been able to see a damn sight better. Oh well. You three stay behind me and try to stay out of sight until we find something to hide you in."

"Yes sir!" the two selves of Fat-Fot-Pot says as they run off to cover. Yellowman frowns as he turns back to the crowd at the bottom of the statue.

"Fireworks?" he murmurs, spying a pyrotechnics display at the far end of the island. "Lucky for us. No one'll be paying attention."

>>24135933
It might be a gunfight between other contestants.
Avoid it.
Can we reach a ferry without passing by the area?
Actually, what will we have to pass by to reach the ferry?
If we go through a crowd, keep an eye out for anyone fictional.
If we have to go near the pyrotechnics, stay alert.
If we're going in places without people, try to be sneaky.
While we're already suspicious, try not to act any further suspicious.

We gotta get to the boat, get out to Battery and keep moving, hopefully without drawing too much attention or getting caught in a fight.

Yellowman moves towards the ferry docks, no one batting an eye at the 'kids' toys' in his arms.

"Thank God we're in New York. Adopted home of the world weary 'I've seen everything' poseur. I bet I could've done this naked and no one would've batted an eyelash," Yellowman grins as he and Fat-Fot-Pot make it through the crowd.

"Please don't test that theory," Fat and Pot say together.

If Yellowman is in danger as a result of this, it would be prudent to spend one of the "If I'm in danger reroll" rerolls, I think.

The fireworks begin going off in the air, a brilliant display of red, blue, white, and yellow sparks and explosions.

"Shut up!" Yellowman hisses to Fat-Fot-Pot. "If they hear you talking..."

"Listen to all those fireworks! No one's going to tell we're talking!" Pot says as Yellowman picks up the pace to the ferries. Cheers of joy and laughter turn to horrified screams and shouts.

"See! See!!!" Yellowman yells, breaking into a run. "They're onto us!"

"No, its-"

"It's happening! You could've stopped it! Why didn't you listen?!" Yellowman bemoans.

"Look up in-"

"Just shut up! Maybe if-"

"WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME AND-"

A chorus of cries echoes through the air, all chanting the same thing.

"COOOOOOOOOOBRAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Yellowman stops, and looks up to see a swarm of paratroopers dropping down on the island, backed by flying vehicles. Against the moon is silhouetted a menacing airship. Yellowman stops in his tracks.

"...are you fucking kidding me?" he mumbles.

Waldorf fires a stream of contained plasma at the Cobra Trooper's gut, burning through it in short order and causing him to collapse screaming, and also on fire.

"Well that was easy," Fat comments.

"Aw, I was aiming for his head," Yellowman grumbles.

>>24136478
If we're fighting then we'd better get to cover. Is any nearby?
Also, be careful about lethal actions. We don't want to look like a terrorist asshole when the GIs arrive.

Does the Cobra Trooper have anything we could quickly acquire?

The fighting intensifies between the newly arrived G.I. Joes and the forces of Cobra, most of the blue and masked soldiers turning their attention to the new threat. However, a trio of black armored Cobra troops appears to be racing for the ferries in an attempt to cut off the crowd of civilians dashing for the only escape route.

We can't let civilians get hurt AND we also need those ferries to get out of here.

If we Magnetic Grapple one, do we get pulled to him, does he get pulled to us, or do we both go to the center of mass?
Either way probably not worth trying it in a combat zone.

"Robots, eh? Statler, you're up!" Yellowman shouts, pulling his gauss pistol out and firing with that as he lowers his plasma pistol.

"What do I do? What do I do?! I've only got spores, I've never fought robots before!" Pot wails, flying around as the one B.A.T. continues to fire at the blue tube.

In the skies above, a ninja flips out of a jet, onto a bubble hovercraft, and then kicks its occupant out before another Joe hookshots onto it. The air is thick with jets, jetpacks, laser fire, and chaos.

A B.A.T. trooper explodes into sparks and shards of metal as a gauss round shreds through it, Yellowman turning to Fat-Fot-Pot.

"Fat! Heal me!" he shouts.

"Uh, uh, r-right away sir," Fat says, flying over and dribbling a clear liquid over Yellowman's burn. The pain immediately lessens and the wound begins to vanish.
>Regain 1 Wound.

"Much better," Yellowman sighs. "Now get to cover!"

"Gladly!" Fat says, flying into a nearby hot-dog cart and closing the cover over him with a leafy appendage.

"Hoowee Mama, that's the best order I've heard all day!" Pot says, flying into a nearby bush as another laser blast narrowly misses him. Fot doesn't say anything, but just scurries off into the shadows.

We don't have time to cavort with characters. Scott, finish off the BATs in the way, get civilians on the ferry, and get gone from that island.

Don't count your XP before you've finished the session. That 11 could be bad.

>>24137293
How many Shock rounds do we have left? 6?

Scott, can you even drive a ferry?

>>24137387
Snake Eyes has better things to do.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if there's anything for Scott to do but fight until the end of the sequence.
Like he could hijack one of the many flying vehicles, but if he tried to leave the area, he'd probably get shot down.

>>24137495
No he doesn't. After he takes the airship, his next scene is one where he turns and shoots at the screen. He has plenty of time to help us.

Yellowman attempts to get to cover while firing his gauss pistol...

>11.

Unfortunately, a low-flying strafing run by a Joe in a helmet throws a wrench into that plan. The Joe flies down, taking aim just in time for Statler's Shock round to glance the edge of his jetpack. The electric charge makes the device go haywire, and with a startled scream, the Joe blasts into the air before falling into the water many yards away. Yellowman's entire face contorts into one massive wince.

"...oops?"

Then two laser beams burn through his chest and remind him he's still in a fight.

>1 Wound remaining.

>>24137543
Bah. Grab the second FFP hit, keep fighting.

>>24137543
Maybe we should switch to the plasma rifle, might have better aim than the pistol.

>>24137543
Shit, probably should have joined up with the Joes. This would be easier with help.

>>24137543
Still get to cover, Scott. There's two BAT's you need to take out.
And dammit, you're really not doing well with Statler. Waldorf you can at least recharge; we won't find new Shock rounds for Statler.
Switch to Waldorf, and aim for the exposed circuitry in the chest cavity of the BATs.

>>24137631
Might as well second this.
Hopefully we won't instant-die.
I don't want to use FFP's last charge, but we can't Medkit-and-shoot, and if we Medkit now they might just shoot us again and dtake 2 more wounds off. I suppose we have to.

"F-Fat! I could use some more healy-juice!" Scott calls as he keeps firing.

"I can't hear you because my ear-membranes are clogged with hot-dogs!" Fat's voice echoes from the cart.

"FAT!"

"OK, OK, on the way!" Fat says, buzzing out of the cart and hovering over Yellowman, dribbling more the liquid onto him. "...that's all I can manage for now, I need time to produce more. Sorry!"

"It's fine, NOW you can go back to your hotdog bunker," Scott grimaces, dragging himself to cover and holstering Statler.

"Hooray!"

>>24137665
Scott, as soon as you're in cover, can you use the MFC's with the Power Recharger to recharge your shield?

>>24137665

A bolt of plasma strikes the circuitry on the front of the B.A.T. and causes it to explode, throwing the aim off of the second robot.

"Who thought it was a good idea to put vital circuits in front in an obvious place, with no armor?" Scott wonders, snapping off another shot.

In the background, the civilians have crowded aboard one of the two remaining ferries and have manages to cast off, leaving one ferry behind.

>>24137665

Scott fires from cover just in time for the BAT to duck behind cover. The BAT then emerges and fires just in time for Scott to duck. Then Scott emerges from cover and fires just in time for the BAT to duck.

The B.A.T. and Scott continue to fire uselessly at each other, shooting again and again and again until the Cobra airship in the sky suddenly explodes and begins to plummet towards the water. A shrill voice echoes across the sky, amplified by unnaturally clear loudspeakers.

"Cobra! Retreat! Retreeeeeat!!!!"

Pot pokes his head up from the bush he was hiding in.

"You guys done yet?" he asks.

Scott yells the most explosive and drawn out expletive you have ever heard, then charges the B.A.T., jamming Waldorf into the machine's circuits and pulling the trigger.

"DODGE THAT!" Scott roars.

The machine does not.

As the ruined robot collapses due to the new hole melted in its front, Fat-Fot-Pot return to Yellowman's side, buzzing around him happily.

"I knew you could do it!" Fat cheers. "...eventually."

"Yeah, you really showed those androids how to fight. And then you kept showing them. Again and again. THEN you finally got around to actually defeating them, so I guess it worked out!" Pot says.

>>24137956
See if you can h4x some recharging bullshit together from the Android's battery using repair, then get on that ferry and get off.

If they are taking the ferries, then run to the boats.

>>24137956
Can we grab anything from the androids? Their rifles or armor or something? Might be useful.

Scott explains the idea to Fat-Fot-Pot as they race for the last ferry.

"Oh, sure, if we had some tools," Fat says.

"We don't," Pot says.

"I guess you could find us some tools... er, modified for Zoq-Fot-Pik handling..." Fat suggests.

"You won't," Pot says.

"Maybe WE could modify them?" Fat suggests.

"Maybe... if we had time and some stuff to work with," Pot yields.

"OK, OK, we'll mess with it later!" Scott shouts.

Scott and Fat-Fot-Pot run aboard the last ferry, just in time to see the captain jump off the side and start swimming to shore. A loud, accented curse comes from deeper in the ship.

"Now 'ow the bloomin' 'ell do you get this thing to work?!" someone shouts.

They're not THAT hard to drive. I've driven a small boat before.

Yellowman starts to trudge north. It's a warm summer night, so being soaked isn't as bad as it would normally be. There is an extended silence between himself and Fat-Fot-Pot, who floats openly beside him, the pair no longer caring about stealth. Luckily the only person they pass by at this hour is a bedraggled and dirty man in worn clothes with a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and a slackjawed expression on his face.

"Did you... Did you KNOW there was a fuel leak whe-" Fat finally asks.

"Not," Scott growls. "A word."

One brisk walk later, Scott and Fat reach the public ferry. A sign by the Harbor Ferry Service building proclaims, "Ferry Service: Saturday-Sunday." A list of times is below that.

A NEWER sign is pasted over that. It declares, "Ferry Service Suspended for State of Emergency."

>Do any of these buildings have anything resembling first aid?
The Ferry Station is a government building; according to codes, there should be a first aid kit easily available.

>>24139843
"My gear so far is waterproof. I can swim, it'll just take a while," Yellowman replies. "And it'll also be annoying."

>>24139877
There is, but it's not going to do much. It's for stopping bleeding and keeping someone alive so they can reach a hospital, not for erasing injuries all together like the Medkits Scott knows and loves.

>>24139867
This is just not your day, is it Scott?

>>24139867
FFP, do their hoverdisks have any flashlights?
What about inside your Survival Kit, Scott?

Are there any ships here at this station?
If not, we'll need to try the private docks on the eastern side of the island.

>>24139984
Scott doesn't reply at first, but as he flicks on a small flashlight, the answer becomes clear.

"It's not very good, but better than nothing," Scott comments. A single beam of light emits from Fot's hover-disc.

"We've only got the one because... well..." Fat begins to say.

"We've got no eyes," Pot finishes.

>>24140113
Keep an eye out. The Joes may have noticed the brownout, and we might get lucky enough they'll come to investigate.

Are there any boats out on the ferry dock?

>>24140113
Check the ferry station's dock for any small boats.
I'll even take just a simple rowboat with an outboard motor at this point.

Yellowman slips out and scouts around.

Yellowman snoops around the ferry docks, and while it seems for a while he's out of luck, he manages to find a small speedboat used for errands by the ferry crews parked by one of the larger vessels.

"Score!" Yellowman chortles, beginning to climb in.

"Stop right there!" a deep voice booms as a flashlight's beam strikes Scott right in the face. As his vision adjusts, he can barely make out the outline of some sort of security guard or policeman. "You keep those hands where I can see them and step out of that vehicle slowly!"

>>24140387
Dammit.
Pot! Spore him!

Rolled 93

>>24140434
"What the-BLARGH!" the cop gets out as Pot flies in his face and blows a cloud of spores on him.

>>24140467
Scott, make sure you knock him out! Then hightail it out of there!

>>24140467
Finally, things are coming up Scott.
...Hopefully it turns out this guy was just a security guard and not a Joe.

"What the hell... What..." the cop coughs as he waves his hands.

"I'm out of spores!" Pot squeaks, flying back to Yellowman's side.

Think fast! How are you getting out of this one?!

>>24140532
Maybe we should stop giving the enemies rolls. All it does is give us twice as many chances for the dice to screw us.

>>24140532
Seriously?
...Have Yellowman flash his badge at the security guard and say he has to commandeer this vehicle.

>>24140532
Well, we can't kill this guy, he's just an innocent dude doing his job.
Do we have any Stun devices?
If not we'll have to Melee the guy. Especially his Radio. Don't want him calling for help.

>>24140573
Oh, right. That should work. Better than violence. I'll delete my other post.

>>24140572
I don't know, that shootout earlier was pretty entertaining.

"Official government business, I need to commandeer this vehicle."

The cop managed to resist the spores with inhuman stamina, but alas, could not resist the pull of gravity. As he flails wildly to disperse the spore cloud with his flashlight and goes for his gun with the other, he takes a step forward on a slippery rock, drops both light and gun, and falls flat on his back, out cold.

Yellowman blinks.
"...wait, what?"

>>24140532
...what.
That 93 wasn't for Pot's shot to the cop's face?

Goddammit.

Scott, flash your badge in the guy's face, say you're commandeering this vehicle because your jetpack crashed and you need to get to Battery Park.

>>24140617
Yellowman, search him, then pull him inside so nothing happens and give a call on his radio so someone will find him.

Then loot his gun, radio, shoes and any other useful items.

Gun, flashlight, jacket, hat, shoes, badge, radio, handcuffs, wallet.
Even take his fucking shirt and pants.

>>24140617
...Well.
Scott, can you make sure this guy doesn't like, die or something?
And then maybe see if he has any cash on him?

>>24140617
Cops always travel in pairs. Is there any STEALTHy place to take the unconscious cop?

>>24140617
Make sure he's not going to bleed out or die from the hit to the head.

>>24140617
Another highlight reel moment.

Take the guard's money. We might be able to use it later.

Yellowman manages to loot a .38 revolver, a flashlight that's a sight better than his, his jacket and hat, badge... and Scott stops there.

"I'm not undressing him," he says with finality as he shrugs the jacket on. He scowls at the badge in his hand. "Rent-A-Cop. Figures. Oh well, lucky for us."

>Gain .38 Revolver
>Gain 12 rounds .38 Ammunition

Scott then attempts to drag the body out of the way, noting with relief the man is fine aside from being unconscious.

Meanwhile, in a faraway place unrelated to this, some Xcom rookies attempt to fire on a target...

>>24140793
Well, that's a bit of bad luck eaten. The target even died, too.

>>24140773
Hey, don't forget the shoes, Scott.
In a Medieval Fantasy world, shoes should be enough to get you a few silvers at least.

>>24140773
Not only does Scott manage to hide the snoring guard in a dark corner of the office, by sheer dumb luck he stumbles on a keyrack with a pair of keys dangling from them labeled "Docks Speedboat. RETURN KEY WHEN DONE."

"Finally, things are turning up Yellow," Yellowman grins as he grabs the keys and books it for the boat. Twirling the bits of metal around his finger, he approaches the vehicle. "Time for round two, New York Bay?"

>>24140860
Scott please.
Just drive carefully.
Let's get to Battery Park without sinking another one.

>>24140860
Don't tempt the fates, Scott.

>>24140860

Just get to the shore.

>>24140860
Don't tempt the Fates or the dice, Scott.

"...gonna take it riiiiight into the danger zooooone!" Scott sings as the boat streaks across the water.

"Whoa!" Fat shouts, the three aliens bracing themselves on a seat as Manhattan grows larger and larger before them.

"...Never know what you can do 'til you get it as HIGH as you can GOOOOOOOO!!!!" Yellowman continues, bringing the boat around in a curved turn towards a dock.

"Slow down!" Fat squeaks.

"FASTER!" Pot yells. "I can really feel the air in my spore vents! This is great!"

"...Further the edge, the hotter the intensity!" Yellowman sings, continuing the song as he brings the boat around to a stop by the American Merchant Marines Memorial. Yellowman laughs as he gets off the boat and tosses the keys in the driver's seat.

"I feel your pain, boys," he says, giving a quick salute to the memorial before turning back to the concrete coast. A fair crowd of people mills around Battery Park, most pointing and staring at either the Statue of Liberty, or the burning building just at the edge of the Park. Fat-Fot-Pot quickly hides behind Yellowman as he exits the boat.

>>24141147
That burning building? Knowing our luck, that's our target.

>>24141147
GI Toy mascot cover story.
Get through crowds.

We're looking for a way to labs underneath Battery Park. I'm guessing we have to go through the burning building?

Here's some Wikipedias:
Underneath the park

Battery Park, due to its key location, has played an important role in the construction of transportation infrastructure. Under the park lies the following active infrastructure:
Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel, carrying vehicular traffic to Brooklyn
Battery Park Underpass, carrying vehicular traffic from West Street to the FDR Drive
IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line and IRT Lexington Avenue Line with a balloon loop to enable trains to turn around and switch between the two IRT lines
South Ferry subway complex (1 N R trains)

A total of four distinct walls and over 250,000 individual artifacts were found in the excavation of the South Ferry subway station. A portion of one wall was placed on temporary display inside Castle Clinton. In 2009, a long portion of wall was embedded permanently into the wall of the entrance to the newly constructed station.

I'm thinking either:
Mr. Burny building
or the South Ferry line
are our best bets.

>>24141147
>>24141229
Quite possibly. Investigate, Scott. If there's any presence of Joes, Cobra, and/or anything that seems out of place, it's probably what we're looking for.

Scott begins to head towards the burning building, carrying his 'toys'. The crowds part fairly easily, and soon Scott is standing at a police line around a glass and steel skyscraper with fire belching from the ground floor and several windows. A firefighter crew is hard at work attempting to put out the fire. Several police officers are waving people away from approaching.

>>24141472
Ask crowd what happened here.
Ask crowd where nearest subway station is.
Look for any news crews, try to figure out what they're reporting on.

>>24141298
So we'll have to cling to the bottom or ceiling of a train, or sneak into the tunnels to get underground to the portal huh?

Reminds me of crawling through subway tunnels in that library quest.

>>24141543
That's really risky though. Just throw some scrap on the line so it gets closed for maintenence and walk it.

>>24141570
I mean, I can't count the number of times some asshole has shoved a shopping trolley on a train line and gotten everything delayed by 10 minutes to half an hour.

>>24141472
Scott, turn on the police radio you got, and listen in to get a sense of what's going on.

Scott edges closer to the police line, then turns to his left and taps the person there on the shoulder.

"Hey buddy, do you know wha-" Scott begins to say. He cuts himself off as that person turns around.

It's the Joe that Scott accidentally winged from earlier.

"Hey!" he shouts, narrowing his eyes. "You're that jerk that made me take an unscheduled bath from earlier!"

"I didn't mean to! I was aiming for-" Yellowman protests. The Joe grabs the front of Yellowman's uniform.

"When you get to hell, you tell 'em CLUTCH sent ya!" the Joe roars.

Yellowman's Portal Card begins to gently pulse in his pocket. Another racer is nearby.

>>24141730

Did you not see the BATS that were trying to take a ferry full of Civilians?

Also, incoming fire has right of way!
