So first we hop back in time to before the embassy job, where CFour gets interviewed. The players remember to ask about hobbies - and CFours talents in demolition come from the eminently sensible civilian job of pulling down old factories.
He was slightly overly comedic at first. He claims to be Chivalrous. And not to be gung-ho. He had a hard time coming up with a weakness.
Quote (Cindy): "So you ride horses?"
(Santa): "Not cavalry, Chivalry. That's being an idiot."
(CFour): "I'm not totlly fluent in Bullshit."
So. Back to the embassy we go. Paint and Santa sneak downstairs, while Dog and Swish break into the security offie to find out what's going on. Turns out that a large limo has apparantly driven through the bay windows into the ball room. A bunch of thugs are threatening people with guns and handing round a bag for people's wallets and jewelry.
Calling for backup (Fire and CFour leapt into the nearest available vehicle, Kuri's, grabbing the nearest available box of random kit) they then waited all of ten seconds before leaping into action.
So. The short version is that they easily take down all of the thugs.
The longer version has Paint swinging down from the balcony on the chandelier rope - failing to pick up the ambassador and kinda just standing in the middle of the room whils the thugs pointed submachineguns at them. Then Swish cut the lights and Dog did his sniping thing.
Paint was narrowly persuaded not to use an automatic shotgun in a crowd.
Arriving, Fire calls an Ambulance for some of the guards outside, while CFour contemplates throwing random grenades insidde the embassy and hoping that they're non-lethal.
After a while they settle for blocking the car in with their car rigged to explode, and chucking in a couple of flares.
Dog discovers that the car is, basically, invulnerable. Smearing bullets across its windows with a blue flash.
Panicked, the remains of the gang try to escape. CFour detonates the car they blocked it in with, to no effect other than to knock Swish unconcious.
So - having blown up their own transport, they now raid the embassy car park for a pursuit vehicle. And choose a shiny new Ferrari. Which they later discover is owned by Tony. Oh well. One more reason for him to dislike them, when he finds out about it.
So they chase down the JamesBond style limo of doom. Cardboard boxes no bar to their progress, police easily distracted by the cocaine they find in the glove compartment.
Quote (misheard, Dog): "I scan the car for witnesses" (He said 'weaknesses' really)
After some thought, the combined mass of weapons they bring to bear blow up something important hidden behind the vehicles license plate. Emitting smoke, the car crashes into a wall and the thugs stagger out. Swish fails to grab one as they speed past - picking up only a portion of the safety band they seem to have as a uniform. So they leave them to the police.
Back at base, they briefly interrorgate one of the gang members. The discover the location of the main hangouut.
The gang’s main activity is dealing in "Jek", a new street drug. "Fire" then killed him. "Santa" bought a couple of jacked cars as he investigated. The gang’s warehouse hideaway. They then spend a while trying to figure out how to spirit the car away from the police - later learning that it has been taken by the army.
QUOTE: "We need a stealth-towtruck."
About this point they realise that they left a craft of expensive military grade equipment at the embassy. Oh well.
The next session started slightly early, as they had to guard Felix's
