Swords meet knife meets sword. Trying to score a line through the foam and the fighting shapes, agents fire a few shots. The Red Cranes keep their heads down, licking wounds. Elsewhere, a gunfight resounds. Someone screams. It cuts out.
A gunship - Iron Talon class - roars up over the apartment highrise, engines thunderous, pilots cursing a sudden slight hiccup with one intake thruster as they stabilisize
Below, more cars pull up. The authorities, arriving in more force. Ambulances. Police. All the heavy hand of the state. Or other things with pretensions of being one.

They always smile like that, like they know a joke you don't and are waiting patiently on the punchline.
Adjusts his multicompound googles. Beneath them, he has a few days of stubble and that fucking smile. Clearsight system. One of the more expensive sensor kits around. He filters out the noise of the environment automatically, cuts through chaff, adjusts for motion. Integrates information into the flow of things. Right now, he's probably seeing the projectile trajectories of Mammoth's bullets as thin lines where no man should be, the sharp edge of Evans sword as a projection of possible probable pathways to avoid.
Suppression and weight of fire, the paint, the noise, the smoke, the flashbang, it makes the Red Cranes behind him almost inoperable, too stunned, concussed, confused.
Not this guy. To him it's a *data-source*.

>Agents to act
>Offmap Agents are still signal-linked to local agents. You can act as tactical facilitators using MeshOps; if you so wish. Unfortunately, off-map, much like TS normally is, you're Signal Limited.
>Luckily, you can read "signal" as "alacrity!" and just take a turn, using skills as relevant.
