"Ow!!" Min Jee seethes after getting shot in the shoulder. "I was KIDDING, JEESH! Well, kinda." The hacker huffs and sits down behind the counter, pressing a button from the rim of her glasses and bringing up a screen. "Let's play hardball then, nabbeun nom."
Using her ~*hacker powers*~ she uses her ability exploit Ping Echo! Using an action, you create three pings that you broadcast into a creature’s neural network. You can send all three to one creature, or target up to three different creatures within range that you can see. Each Ping deals 3 psychic damage. (2 pings on the mech one on the rando dude that's still alive somehow)

As the last Wan Chai falls, Misha peeks up and looks over the room.
"I theenk we hef found what Jackie lost, ah?"she observes, looking at the sizzled mecha. "Min, you are heet. Here."Basic Nanobot Heal: 4 The injection works right away, sealing up your injury. "Modern medicine ees amazing, no?"she laughs.
8000W are among the dead bodies. You all get 50xp each. The Mech is heavy but should be transportable.
It's been several days since your run in with the Wan Chai Warriors. You've received your wonlongs from Jackie and for now, everything was well. Jackie contacted you all again and requested that you meet him in the Gweilo, his dive bar in Chinatown, as soon as you can. Time is of the essence.
Pierce didn't do anything fancy with his money, just paying rent to Min-Jee, on time as he always had since he learned not to pay late. Then he headed down to the Gweilo with the rest.

The Gweilo is the dirtiest, cheapest bar in District 5. Full of cigarette smoke, loud music, and enough firepower to take down a small army. Everyone here appears to be carrying some kind of weapon. Jackie Chow is a slim, well-dressed young Chinese man wearing a stylish blue sport jacket, silky yellow shirt, and sporting a pompadour hairstyle. He approaches you carrying a bottle of Hokkaido Yebisu.
"Thank you again for retrieving that mech for me. I think it's about time we hit back at those so called Wan Chai Warriors - Washington Street style! One of my lookouts just told me they saw the WCW guys hauling what looked like an unprogrammed synth into their VR cafe on Stone Nullah Road, just round the corner, an hour or so ago. I want you to head over there, get me that synth, and take out anyone in there. They steal from me, I steal from them."
Despite the hacker being preoccupied with her game boy, she glances up to meet Chow’s gaze, then back to her game. “Dāngrán, méiyǒu tài duō xuǎnzé, shì ma?“
(Sure, don’t have much of a choice, do we?)

Suddenly, the beer bottle in Jackie's hand explodes, sending shards of glass and beer everywhere. A split second of confusion follows before a hail of gunfire tears into the bar from the street. A few of Jackie's bodyguards go down among exploding glass and synth wood. Outside, twelve Wan Chai gang members are opening fire into the bar. Jackie ducks behind an upturned table, barking orders at his men to escape out the back.
THE ESCAPE
To escape the bar assault, all of you must leave out the back with Jackie and his men. The extended challenge is called a SET PIECE in Carbon 2185. Each of you pick two skills below to attempt. We need a collective of 5 successes as a group to get the **** out of here. If we get less than 5 successes, they corner us and execute us. Game over, man. Game over.
Gambling DC12 Years at the gambling table means you guys have seen it all. Turns out the tables are bulletproof! Flip some over!
Intimidation DC15 In the chaos, a pickpocket is taking advantage of the battle to be an annoyance and is trying to pick your pockets! Scare him away and push him aside!
Navigation DC11 Find a clear path through the chaos! People are dropping dead, blood soaks nearly everything, bullets fly, and not to mention all the broken glass!
Perception DC13 You spot a serving tray that works as a makeshift shield, protecting you from bullets, wood shards, and broken glass. Make haste!
Streetwise DC15 No doubt this is the work of Wan Chai Hustlers. You know how to handle these guys, they always shoot waist level or higher for maximum injury! Get down!!

As soon as she hears the gunshot and the shattering of glass, Min Jee drops down behind some cover and shoves her game boy in her overall pocket. "Oh for ****s sake..."

Misha startled and hit the floor as bullets started flying. She yelled out something incoherent as she dove to the floor. She reached for a serving tray using it as a shield, and kicked the pickpocket taking advantage of the fray with a heavy boot.
Perception DC13: 24 Intimidation DC16: 25
Grabbed the tray, and punted the pickpocket. All hail the Motherland.
You see an injured Jackie and his remaining bodyguards escape out the back exit, where you quickly follow. Jackie doubles down on his commitment to get revenge on the Wan Chai warriors, and he insists that you go after their VR cafe right now. A moment later Jackie is in the backseat of a car that disappears into the sky traffic.
Between the 24hr Store with anime plush dolls in the window, and an outdated ATM stands perhaps the most popular VR cafe in the district, an unnamed establishment on Stone Nullah Road. Bright backlit signs with bold Chinese text cover every surface at the entrance to the cafe. The entrance itself is a single stairway heading underground and into the cafe proper. Standing at the entrance is a man covered in lumiskin tattoos. This man is clearly of Chinese descent and covered in Wan Chai tats.
Getting in will require a DC14 persuasion check, a DC16 Intimidate check, or a bribe of at least 4000W. Or you blow his head off. Killing him in front of the street however might cause a panic. As of this moment, he has no idea who you're affiliated with.

Pierce's shot goes a little wide, but Min-Jee's shot hits!
On the TV set during the battle, a music video of David Lee Roth's "California Girls" blasts throughout the room. Eye candy and all.
