Keats looked at Kreeg, not a look of hatred, but, rather an annoyed glare. "What is this about?" He asked, eyebrow raised.

"Surviving. To survive, we'll need to team up. Are you following after her or what?"

Kreeg still handled the earpiece to Keaton.

Easy. Just like the trees— From catwalk to catwalk, she steadily traipses past the walkways. Slow and steady, breathing calm and controlled. Just like those hippies and nice people always said.

Through the first building, she easily slides under a vent and AC pipe, nearly tripping against the fence-rail before steadying up, and turning to walk through the fence-door and up a small shed, climbing and hopping like she would a small tree or concrete wall.

From there, its a small jump— Zip-lining with ease to the rooftop. From there again, a straight walk. Like a forest, made of concrete and lacking the smell of foliages.

Now, which direction...

Lena

[Okay, you've already gained some time on these buildings. You gotta go higher. Gimme a sec. There must be some ventilation ducts on a wall to your left. You should be able to climb them. Our contact is...oh. Got some eyes on him. He's actually near the new Runner training grounds...you've got to go north. Just keep the Shard behind you and you should be able to find it.]

Beyond her path, Lena can see the highest part of her building has some AC pipes and a fence stacked togheter just perfectly for a spring jump to the next building ahead, where some scaffolding could be seen.

She nods, looking back.

[Got it.]

With a running start, she jumps off the AC Pipes and fences,

And jumped...!

Lena

The deadpoint of her jump - the point of the arch in which you neither go up nor down - was huge, a consequence of the angle needed to go across that gap. Lena started feeling the flow - she seemed to fly, and every color felt stronger as the world moved backwards in slow motion.

As she landed on all fours with almost no difficulty, she remembered that that was what Runners live for.

[Hey kiddo, watch out for these blues, you're risking being in sight in the next three buildings. Blue traffic is off the charts. There is some scaffolding ahead, you can go outside on a shortcut, it will be a little slower than this roof route, but a little safer. The third option is the more safe and slow of them all - inside these ventilation shafts and crossing the elevator shaft as well, going inside the building, we would need to figure out this last path.]

[We are on some hurry to meet him but it's not that much - anyway, take too long and we may miss the contact. Your call, Lena.]

She is free. She feels free. And it feels good. The sky, the air. Everything.

Without much of a thought, she heads to the scaffolding. A bit of safety, for a bit of time? Fine by her book.

Looking Glass Gardens, 7:04AM

Kreeg starts looking anoyed as well, waving his hands as he talked:

"Nothing like that...yet. Lena is meeting a contact that will help you guys out with your mission. Some Runners were left in the dark and gone missing when the servers went down...Mercury wasn't the only tracker that died, some batteries of the earpieces went dead..."

"They have been chased by Blues all around the City, and we need someone to come and escort them to our underground operations. Once regrouped, we'll see what to make of this Icarus Project. Whose side are you?" He gives Keaton an inquisitive look.
Another plane could be heard and seen crossing the clear blue sky above the group.

Lena

The scaffoldings went up and down in some sort of vertical maze of construction structures, with lots of crates, barrels, buckets of white paint and pallets here and there, but as you look while running it seems to be pretty leveled so that you'll exit in a very close height to the one you've got in.

[Hey Lena, don't mean to tell you how to run but be careful, don't lose your pace but - shiit. Got a Bird coming on your 12, keep your head down. It should be easy to hide but do it right - they are deploying some major heat nearby...gimme a second to warn Kreeg so things don't get nasty. Be right back—]

Sure enough, as he turned his channel off, a chopter could be heard approaching, and soon it could be seen between the Callaghan City Constructions plastic, bursting from behind a Raposa sign a few buildings away.

Lena Purple reflexes soon awekened, bringing an pile of pallets to her attention. It was stacked like a little tunnel with just enough size for the little girl to fit if she curled herself enough, and was at a jump's distance.

Looking glass gardens, 7:06 AM

"We are counting on it. But we actually have-" He was interrupted and touched his earpiece.

"I'm here, Drake. What? Right now?" Kreeg looks at you both, as if evaluating the situation "...Shit." the swearing seems to struggle to get out of his mouth "How long do we have? Okay. Got it." He nods several times looking at nothing in particular, then looks back to you two.

"We gotta leave, now. P Ks incoming. We'll split up to help our flight. Keep the flow."
When saying that, Kreeg throws the earpieces in your hands

He nods again, this time to you, then proceeds to run, then leaps, speed vaulting a 6ft. fence and disappears into a corner.

(Do you mind writing in normal prose?)

Keats nodded, putting it in, "Leave them to me." He turned, spriting out, not away, but rather towards the P Ks. Centipedes were great at ambushes. And that was what he would do.

On, above. Jump here and there. The usual business.

And then Keat comes in with the news.

And the chopper.

{Cyka.}

Without much ado, she followed her instinct, and dived into the pallet-tunnel.

The chopper passed, apparently without noticing no runner in the scaffoldings. From the spaces between the pallet wood, Lena can see the letters in the side of the black, huge chopper:

   PIRANDELLO/KRUGER   

And the distinctive dog logo was just to the side of it. And more to the left,    Pursuit Cops   . Not four, not five. That was a huge chopper indeed, military model. There were literally dozens of them with their signature clothing and tasers, some carrying light assault guns.

Drake was asking what the hell Keats was up to. Lena only knows Runners isolate enemies by running around them and pick them off one at the time - but the Centipede didn't even know what he was facing.

[Girl, you better tell him to either deal with these odds or bail out, and fast]

Drake's voice seemed a little concerned.

[R-Right. Which button was it...]

While still hidden under, she keyed in her comm-bead to Keats. And relayed the message.

[Keats. Lena ahead. Chopper coming to you. Two dozens. Gun. Run. Now.]

Short and simple, as fast as she can muster.

Gabe heads back into the elevator and heads down, if anything he can talk his way out. He's a blue after all, P Ks aren't entirely concerned with other police officers.

But if need be... He's more than ready to get working.

Scaffolding

One, two, three, four - four people could be heard landing one level up, as the Bird had gone up and out of Lena's view. And there was a ramp connecting those levels just up ahead. Things seemed to going to get ugly.

[Careful, girl...]

Vents

Centipede can see the chopper leaving two pairs of PKS just on top of Lena, and then it proceeds to go near his location. Then stopped and deployed some more. Apparently, they're making patrol groups of these forces now. The route would get the Bird just back there to the meeting building.

Meanwhile, on the elevator, Gabriel was on his last chance to get out, the doors almost closing and he starting to hear a somewhat annoying, but excited elevator song.

[Yeah, I will.]

Carefully, she peeked out. And slowly, made her way to the ramp, peeking off and minimising her exposure, looking at where they possibly landed.

Lena peeked out and saw one turning a corner, the other one looking down on the streets almost to the edge of the structure, and a third one facing away from her, uncomfortably close to the ramp...and that was it.

Her instincts told her there was something wrong - where's the fourth guy? They just told her something was off, and that she needed to run. Now.


Keats start overhearing P Ks conversations as they land next to him, across some fences and walls that hid him from sight.

"Real mess that one tracker, huh?" One raspy voice seemed to say.

"Oh, tell me about it, those fucking moles are the hardest ones to fall! The last one just took FIVE of us down before we could make him drop out of a roof, these fucking tasers and rubber bullets does nothing to them!" An grave echoing voice shouts.

"Yeah, and they're hard to locate, too. Too bad only experienced runners become Trackers." The first one talks back.

"Hey, you two dumbasses know that making Runners suffer 'accidents' are our last resort, right? We need to capture them alive and interrogate'em to know about their locations!" One last more leader-like voice punctuated.

The helicopter seemed to fly just above Keats head in Gabe's direction, and no other voice could be heard aside from one into Keaton's head:

"There are no accidents in this city"

She blinked.

She looked left to right, looking for an avenue of escape, while another reached inside her pack.

While internally swearing at the moment.

The thing with this kind of Blues is that we frequentely forget that they know how to run. And that this city has multiple ways in and out of the paths Runners take.

As Lena looked around her, in the middle of the ramp, a PK appears in the level she was in. Instantly, she felt the adrenaline raise her head - she was surrounded! But then she saw the PK was looking to the other side, his helmet preventing him from having good peripheral vision.

[Got trough them yet?]

Drake asks, with a really low voice.

Lena's brain started mapping her options. She could try to take the guy out, its a piece of cake disarming him from behind, altough it is uncerter whether that is going to be quiet. Or sneak behind his back. The other corner had a most difficult jump to do...any of these options seems really risky anyway.


Keats saw three big guys without seeming to be noticed. They were carrying a shotgun modified to shoot rubber bullets, a taser, and a sniper rifle that by its shape seemed to fire tranquilizing darts. Icarus seemed to have some mighty boosting in its funds, apparently.
