Kcin fires 6 5 5. Small Task tries to dodge 3 5 1 4 and only partially manages, taking considerable damage. He turns, 6 4 6 6 his little legs blurring madly as he runs.
Attacking a vertically challenged citizen? I'm sorry, citizen, but I do not approve of height based discrimination. Please enjoy this instructional video on tolerance in the work place.
A video starts playing on Kcin's HUD.

Silence raises his rifle, takes aim. And tries firing at Small Task.
"STUCK ON VIDEO. HELP." Kcin shouts out, staring blankly at the floor.
Back after a long hiatus
Lanius tries to aim his laser pistol through the hole in the table (the Zuul would be too big) and shoot at Small Task.

SURLY stops halfway to his hideout and thinks. He should not have let the minions handle things in their own. He carefully reaches into his pocket and drops the die on the ground, curious in how it will affect him this time.

Surley feels a surge of CHUTZPAH filling his body.
Silence raises his rifle, firing at the fleeing Small Task. The blast from the rifle 3, 1, 6 causes Small Task to stagger, his left arm vaporized at the shoulder. Small Task clutches his should and tries to continue, only for Lanius 2, 5, 3, 4, 5, 4, 1 to finish him off.
Kitty Gal jumps over Small Task's dead body and continues trying to run away.

The Fantabulous
TESLAA breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her rescuers, deciding to let Kitty Gal go for the time being, "Well, that's enough excitement for one clone... Where do we have to take that letter again?" She inquired, remembering they actually came here with a job to do and then added to LANIUS, "That little guy wanted to find you for some reason... called you the 'pretty, dark-skinned one'. Sent by someone called SURLY-E-Vil-1."
She added, walking over to SMALL TASK's hat and placing it on her head, reasoning it might come in handy.
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

Lanius steps out from behind the table, stretching. "Yeah, so I heard. Wonder why?"

"Maybe WOLF wrote your number on a bathroom wall before he evaporated?" TESLAA suggested with a wry smirk before rejoining the group, "Since he was after that chick you were 'investigating' earlier I figure it has to be more than coincidence. Maybe we can figure out where either your girlfriend or our mystery man are..."
TESLAA bent down at SMALL TASK's corpse and, using her talents, investigated it for anything notable.

Lanius responds half-jokingly with "She Is Not My Girlfriend!"

Small Task has a communication device and a cred-stick that self destructs the moment Teslaa touches it. Nothing else interesting in his pockets.

TESLAA takes the communication device and stands, "Well, better than nothing." She turns the device on and attempts to see if she can contact the citizen SMALL TASK had been previously talking to.

SURLY feels like he suddenly had the potential to charm venom out of a cobra.

He attempts to rally the nearby infrareds to his cause.
Saint Laughter
The infrareds listen intently to Surley's words, ready to do whatever he asks. The communicator in Surley's pocket beeps, indicating he apparently has an incoming call from Small Task.

SURLY gestures to the INFRAREDS to "hold on a minute". He answers the call.
"What's uuup daaawg? What's going on? Kill those peeps yet or what? Did you "hat" them real good? Haw haw haw! I always loved yor hat throwing gimmick and your shortness was pretty neat too. Heck, you were a generally all around cool dude. So anyways, what was that about you mother's illness you were saying a couple hours ago? We were interrupted by... well those gosh darn invaders. Oh and tell KITTY GAL that if she helped she can wear tube tops again."
Saint Laughter
The Fantabulous
TESLAA was silent for a moment then gathered herself and attempted to imitate SMALL TASK's voice[Chutzpah - lie], "Uh, yeah boss - I gave 'em the 'hat'. Kitty's here an' I'll bring her to ya - Where are ya now, boss?"
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
Teslaa rendition of Small Job's voice is 1, 3 bad. I mean, extra-ordinary bad. Bad enough that Small Job's next clone, which is currently being grown, is probably spinning in its test tube. ((Small Job is not a trouble shooter, which means Friend Computer doesn't keep clone back-ups immediately available. Unless someone is willing to pay for his clone to be force-grown, he won't be back this game))
Surly Brains+Psychology: 5, 5, 6 can immediately tell that not only is the voice on the other end of the communicator line is a fake, but that also that Small Job is dead, and the person he is speaking to is female. The question is does he let on that he knows, or does he pretend to believe.

SURLY squinted his eyes and tilted his head to the left. He couldn't believe SMALL TASK got had. He must invest in a new one.
"Well I was headed back to the HQ.we could meet there. Remember the SECRET ROOM near the VILCOI corridor? Go there. I'll bring back-up and then we can go about our plans again. Convoluted machinations designed for our villainous benefit. Oh and I realized we need a cool car and some kind of hamster beasts called 'CATS'."

Surley 6, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 1 sounds totally convinced. Teslaa No point in rolling for psychology to detect lie, since there's no way with three dice she could match Surley's 5 successes congratulates herself, convinced she has succeeded on deceiving the big bag bad.

Kcin's video ended when Teslaa started dancing, and he couldn't help but crack a smile. "Well, you're happy. Uuuugh..." Painfully he rose to stand, not only the burn wounds on his shoulder but also a cut across his thigh holding him down, which Kcin's forced to clutch. "Guys... I think it's best if we go find some medkits first. In my current state I can't do much, and I REALLY don't want to touch the map with blood hands..."
"Ah, did Sahib's humble ears chance to overhear a customer in need?" A short (but not as short as the now deceased Small Task) and familiar figure appears, dressed in grey robes and a large turban. "Perhaps I.... Oh!" He smiles at Teslaa. "It is the rose of the desert; favor and the twelve gods surely smile down upon me that they have blessed me and allowed me to see your beauty once more."
((Yup, it's Sahib, from Page 9))

TESLAA ceases her victory shuffle abruptly as Sahib appears on the scene, "Oh sh- Uh, Sahib! Fancy seeing you here... We had a certain disagreement with this gentlemen..." She looks at the body for a moment, "And his arm. So we removed it, but seemed to become ill." She shrugged, "You wouldn't happen to know a place to store him? We're in an awful rush to deliver a letter."
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
"Hey! And what about me? Ugh, Sahib, Do you have any medkits I can buy off of you? As you can see..." Kcin released his hand from the wound on the side, wincing in pain. "...I'm in pretty bad shape."
Sahib smiles. "Ah! The Camel of Great Fortune is indeed spitting in your ear, my friend! It just so happens Sahib has with him a Junior Woodchuck Health Kit! A kit just like this once saved Sahib's life!" He takes out a box with a red plus and a Junior Woodchuck logo. "For such brave heroes of Alpha Complex, Sahib would gladly part with this for only... 750 XP?"

"ARGH!" A cry of pain came out from getting cut by the razor, causing Kcin to drop to his knee. He quickdraws his pistol and HOPEFULLY hits.
