Running it Old School

A light sparkled in Jack's eye as she looked back at Ghost, knowing that her answer would be nearly as exciting to him as it was to her.
"We fly." She said, simply. She wasn't entirely certain whether or not the building would let her fly in. Or if there would be some sort of alarm, letting someone inside know that she had flown through the building's area aura. The unknowns were almost as much fun as her plan, and their time limitation was going to necessitate her "back-up" plan, now that the assault had been set in motion.
"We fly." She said again, quieter this time. She was speaking more to herself than to the group this time around, almost playing with the idea as it interacted with her understanding of the magic involved. This was going to be "fun"... And we all know what that kind of fun is!

"Oh, um, like 54 kilos?" She blinked in surprise, glancing at Mamba and wondering why he had given his weight in old-fashioned Imperial units. From inside her coat a small voice piped in, "But Zee, you wuz like-"

She grabbed at her chest, glaring angrily. "Okay okay, more like 56 kilograms." She looked rather pensive at Jack's seemingly cryptic announcement, worried that it meant just what she thought it did. "Ar- are you going to do something with magic?" Her face was a mixture of curiosity and dread, like she couldn't make up her mind if that was a good thing or a bad thing just yet. Considering she hadn't backed out though, it should be fairly obvious which end of the spectrum she was leaning towards.

Perfect... Their combined weight, to her somewhat math-challenged mind, was going to come in just a bit over 200 kilograms and should be fairly easy to lift with her levitate spell. The problem now would be which of them the spell was cast on, and how the other two held on...
Jack took a quick look at her surroundings, including the equipment each of them was obviously wearing. Mamba was the simplest, since he had his harness with him, having come prepared for climbing. That meant that somehow Zee and Jack would have to lash themselves to him... Jack's belt should hold her up without a problem, and Mamba's harness should have plenty of places to hook to. Now how to get Zee on board.
"Yep." Jack says with a smile while looking Zee up and down, still trying to figure out how to keep the three of them together. Seperate spells were not the best way to do things...
"Ok, there's two ways to git this done. The better way's ta tie ourselves together or sum'hm, so's I can cast jes one spell. The worse way is ta cast a spell on each'v us. Mamba, you gots yer climbin' harness, right? Gut sum extras?" She said, mostly ignoring the obvious discomfort Zee was displaying. They didn't have time for another solution anymore.

Mamba cursed himself as he was asked if he had extras, he did not. But he was trained and had been in worse situations before. He reached into the car and took out the rope he brought. Quickly doubling it up. Then knelt in front of Jack, nodded to the Mage and went to work strapping her up and down with the doubled cord. knots were placed in various places to strengthen the make shift harness. When he was sure that it was set right he slapped the rope over shoulders with his hand. "Good to go" he said. Then he moved over to Zee kneeling before the female hacker and nodding to her as he began to strap her in he smiled "I gotta tie you up now Zee no worrys this'll all be over before you can blink." At last he took a look at his handy work tugging here and pulling there on the girls harnesses. Then he strapped them to himself.

All roles are logic plus Knots

First roll is for Jack' harness
Second is for Zee's harness
Third is to attach them to the real harness I'm wearing

Logic 5, Knots 3 = 8 dice = mutiple hits on all three

He looked at his two female companions strapped to him "You know" he said "In another place and time This could be a good thing" he smiled "But not on mission." with that he nodded to jack "Lets go!"

( Ooc Sorry so long yall but i lost a whole post. i wish i had my pc not this lap top. but there it is. )

"Aight! Saddled Up..." Jack said with a grin. She didn't pause much to enjoy her humor, however.
Jack takes a deep breath, calming herself for the task ahead. This is important, and she needed all the success she could get.

Jack's eyes popped open wider as the power of the magic flowed through her. A strange phrase, somehow related to some strange old Flat-vid movie she had heard kicked around came into her head. "The force is strong with this one..." Jack was somewhat puzzled with the phrase, and didn't quite know how it related to magic, but she had heard it used before, and it seemed appropriate to this situation.
- I have got to learn about that phrase...! She thought to herself, trying to make a mental note, knowing that it was basically no use. She wasn't going to remember, just like she hadn't remembered the last time!

Refocusing her mind on the task at hand, she lifted Mamba's body off the ground slowly, letting the ropes connecting her harness, and Zee's harness, to Mamba to tighten slowly. Once the ropes were taut, Jack looked at Zee, making eye contact, and took a deep breath.
"Here we go..." She mumbled to herself, grinning slightly as Zee's skin turned green. No doubt this was very close to the bottom of "things to do" on Zee's list. Jack sent out a quick prayer of sorts, sending Zee a bit of good luck in getting to the rest of the things on her "things to do" list.
Jack lifted Mamba higher, lifting herself and Zee in the process. The spell could handle this weight very easilly. Almost like Jack trying to lift her shoulder bag. It was nothing.
Once they were all in the air, suspended and hanging comfortably, Jack started to propel them across the street and toward the top of the building. Sending out a silent prayer to the gods of magic, Jack's spell shot the trio across the chasm at 6 meters per second. It was over almost before it began, crossing the entire chasm in only a few - very long - seconds.

Second Roll: Re-rolling the 6's to determine how fast they actually go! - Didn't get any... we're stuck with 6mps...
Third Roll: Drain Resist (3): Intuition 5 + Willpower 4 + Focused Concentration II 2 = 11 Dice. - Thankfully, no drain!

Oh, Dura, let me know if I overstepped by saying Zee's skin turned green... I will edit that out if you need me to.

perception roll called for by DD.

perception 2, intuition 3, edge +1, 6 Dice = 3 hits

Jack let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding in as her feet touched the roof. She continued to lower the group much more slowly than she had sped them across the chasm between buildings, but it wouldn't take her more than a few thoughts to get them all safely down.
Zee's feet touched next, since she and Jack had both been lashed, somewhat uncomfortably, to Mamba. Shortly thereafter, Mamba was on the roof as well, and facilitating, as well as he could, Zee getting out of her ropes as fast as possible. Her green face didn't look like it could hold itself in...
Jack took the moment to look around and get her bearings, and just for safety, she popped her Astral eyes open as well, curious of the look of the building's aura from above. She had a bad feeling about the whole thing, and was hoping that, just this once, it would all work out ok.

"There... Did it." Jack says, her voice like dry leaves whispering over concrete. She looked straight at Zee to make sure the kid would end up ok. "Prolly won't be takin' the same route out..." She says with a grin, noting the distinct easing of the greenness in Zee's face. Probably had nothing to do with the comments, but was just because they were on solid ground again.

OOC: Sorry about the delay, had some family stuff to take care of... I'm back now though!

I don't have assensing.

"Whoo, like... okay!" Zee held up a hand to delay any further concern for her well-being, then stood, leaning over, hands placed on her knees. "Wow... so, that's like totally not something you do every day." She stood up, blinking away the spinning in her eyes. "Um, yeah. I'm like... gonna be fine. I'm... you know, the technical expert. Jumping up on top of roofs all magical like? Yeah... not normally my thing." She finally caught her breath, and started laughing nervously, grinning sheepishly at her reaction. "Okay, cool. Let's get this... um 'party' going!"


Perception roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2576133/ 2 hits

Jack snorts, quietly of course. She looks at Zee, noting the color returning to her face, and the excited, but uncomfortable expression.
"Well, yeah... It kinda is something I do every day. Or, at least, most days." Jack returns with a grin, knowing that Zee was referring to herself, and normal humans, rather than to magicians like Jack.
"An' I don' think I'd mind too much havin' someone else ta practice mu magics on neither." Jack says, her grin widening a bit to let Zee know she was joking. It didn't really occur to Jack that her large orcish teeth might give a somewhat different impression. She chuckles a bit, enjoying her joke, and turns herself back to the task of unwinding the ropes tying her to Mamba, now that Zee was freed.

"Ok, now what?" Jack says, looking at both Zee and Mamba once she was fully freed from Mamba. Jack was not entirely certain what to do to get in the building, since explosives and locks were not really her thing. She also wasn't sure how the roof's coordination was with the ground crew. She listened a bit, trying to hear any bullets flying... That would be a pretty decent give-away.

As Jack finishes extracting herself from the ropes and looks around a bit. Somewhat shocked, Jack starts to recoil, bumping into Mamba in the process. She whips her head around in alarm, already on edge, and stares at Mamba for a moment, allowing it to register that he is a team-mate in her head before trying to incinerate his head. Then she returns her startled stare at the "gas" leaking out of the air-return vents in the AC system.
"Uhh... That looks bad." She says, never much for words. Her dry, raspy voice was held low enough so that Mamba and Zee would just be able to hear it. Jack peers at it for a moment longer, and then decides she needs to get a read on it from the magical perspective, curious to know if it is magically active, and if it is, what it looks like.

Astral Perception Roll: Intuition 5 + Astral Perception 4 = 9 Dice
Ugh, only 2 hits... What does it look like in Astral, DD?

Also, I think everyone is more than forgiving regarding your absent time. You have given us so much, we can afford to wait patiently while you go through a bit of computer trouble.

As soon as they landed Mamba unclasped the ropes that held him to the others. his eyes darting back and forth as Zee made it clear she was not into the flight thing. He was looking for the panels that would give him access to both power, and security. Before that however the smoke caught his cyber eyes. The smoke seem to move with a mind of its own as if it had a plan. "Jack you getting this?" Mamba asked the only person who had any chance to know up here.

He figured it was magic but he knew so little about the subject. He had Questions were they made or did they still have a shot at this. Nothing left to do but what he was hired to do. At least until the led started flying. He took off his back pack and shot a look over at the door to see what kind ordinance he would need chemical? Or just go for the explosive stuff.... He radioed the other half of the team.

Message: Fox trot this is Alpha the hawk has landed, But we may have a problem hit you back in three when were good sit tight till then!

(i know my military speak sucks but best i got at the moment sorry)

"Yeah, I'm gettin' this. But I don' get it..." Jack rasped in response, her voice like the sound of a steel grate being dragged across an unused street. Without looking at Mamba, Jack started making strange movements, and then closed her eyes. She swayed slightly, then opened her eyes again, her stare looking like that famous "1000 kilometer stare" which tells you that the person is paying attention to something else.
Then, out of nothing, she speaks up again. "Uh'm tryin' ta figger it out. It's sum'hm strange. An' Ah don' like it." Her voice sounded like it was being dragged out of her throat.

Sentinel for his part, stayed ready to jump into action as he waited in the back of Bear's van, wondering what the frag the crazy slitch had planned as brought the van to a halt in front of the building like that when the rest of the team wasn't even in position yet. That was something he'd have to.. discuss with him later however. Right now he had to worry about not getting his hoop handed to him and then getting busted with a ton of illegal milspec.

"This is going to take a minute." Mamba said as he scanned the area looking for power lines and security feeds.

Perception roll Mamba is scanning the area looking to identify the power lines, security line, and the kind of lock on the door:

Perception 2 Intuition 3 Edge 1 = 6 dice = 1 hit
