Christoff shrugs and saunters over to the vault, leaning against the wall as he seats himself near the top of the stairs, watching the shenanagens. The suspicious elf that met the 'boss' in the triad bar appeared to be some sort of magic user, as he kept speaking and acting like the magicians the dwarf had seen in the Tri-D movies. Astral projecting? Or whatever its called... he thought to himself.
The elf even went so far as to lay down on the ground for a couple minutes before getting up and making some complicated hand gestures. The others in the group tensed slightly, and Christoff loosened one of his throwing knives in its sheath up his left sleeve. His narco stick was almost done, so he crushed it out and squatted on the stairs, ready to retreat or attack as necessary. At first nothing happened with the vault, and the three at the bottom of the stairs started glancing at one another, hesitantly....

Nix in a stunning display of grace, gyrates in front of the vault door. A few seconds slip by and then sounds of latches releasing and bolts receding start to issue forth. The door releases a puff/hiss of air as it pops open a couple of inches. Then with sounds of heavy gears the door start to retract into the wall forcing the group back a bit as it opens wider than anticipated. Once the door is fully opened fluorescent lights flicker on. Inside the vault is 3 wooden crates (1.5m x 1m x .5m) and 5 cardboard boxes (1m 3). After checking for traps (( Everyone roll Intuition+Perception Threshold 3, The Group needs a total of 3 not necessarily 1 person)) you proceed to open the containers. Inside you find all but 3 items. (( Mages make Logic+Enchanting(default Magic) Threshold 2(group total))) Power Foci Weapon Foci Spellcasting Foci Good probability that they're upstairs. [whisper=PseudoDragon,Xeno Khan]After 10 minutes go by: [from Blood Fear to Sam] " What did you guys do? I hope it was good, cuz you have incoming. I'd say 2 minutes till the 1st wave gets to the door, with a second wave a minute behind. Ist wave is 2 humans with.... looks like swords and tasers. 2nd wave is a troll/human one and they're armed for elephants if you get my meaning."[/whisper]

Christoff relaxes a bit as the door opens fully, revealing some boxes and crates in the smaller room behind the vault door. Nothing that seems to be a threat, so, the dwarf crushes out the last of his cigarette and steps down the stairs to stand, leaning against the vault door jam, looking in....

Nix smiles and sighs a sigh of relief as the vault opens. He proceeds in looking through the boxes with the dwarf, using perception to hand pick the actual foci leaving any non-magic decoys in the boxes.
He's loading the items into his duffle bag just as Sam calls out. He quickly slings the bag and coms Hauser: "Three incoming threats; Heavily armed."
Turning to Sam and the others his voice slightly anxious with his adrenaline rising, "We are missing several important items. Stay and hold or cut-n-run?"

"Cut-n-run - I can leave a gift for them too, I'll just get the gear from my car."
Lorne pauses for a second, giving Nix chance to speak first.

"What the frag is all this drek?" Christoff muses softly as the elf that came to meet the 'boss' started going thru various cases and boxes. The dwarf picked up a piece or two himself before putting them back. He WAS interested in the ID's and what not, when they were discovered, though he carefully avoided showing it. Those could prolly get me a pretty nuyen, on the black market... he thought to himself.
Sam shouts, "WE GOT INCOMING, about 2 minutes out 2 humans with swords and tazers and a troll about 1 minute behind them armed to kill elephants if ya get my drift." and extends all his blades.
"Wait a seco..." Christoff begins to speak, but then realizes it's not really his place. Turning, the dwarf rushes up the stairs, his short legs pumping heavily, as he makes his way to the front man door, the door they had first entered, before driving their vehicles inside. Peering out into the darkness, the Dwarf tried to spot the supposed 'incoming'.

Time being on the short side Nix replies to Zen, "Take this case of radicals," pointing to the case of refined radicals, "and I'll carry the case of binding materials.". He grabs the case of binding materials and heads for the vehicles. If they are loaded for bear, we probably won't get out of this without some sort of conflict. The question is: Are all the sites compromised..?

Lorne grabs the case of free radicals and dumps it in his trunk before turning to Nix.
"You can't be serious about hanging around - I'm not geared to take on a troll. We should cut our losses and leave - the rest of that gear isn't worth getting shot at for."
Whilst he speaks, Zen looks around for any possible locations to lay in wait, perhaps ambushing the incoming threats from behind as the enter the warehouse.
Intuition roll (5): 3 hits.

"You misunderstand. We have to cut and run, but the question is how many more than the three are already in position? Three coming at us open and brazen and they are it? No, they are merely the diversion."

Zen nods, "Alright."
"Mr Tickets," He calls over "Would you help load the car with as much gear as you can carry? Then take up an appropriate position to recieve guests."

"There are four, I repeat FOUR gangers incoming. There are two waves and the Troll is in the second one. The other guy in the second wave seems to be carrying a big drekkin bag of guns, though the Troll is carrying his own assault rifle." Christoff broadcast on the private Pan-to-Pan link he had with his 'boss'.
The boss ordered him to help out loading the car, so, Tickets jumped in, and started the car up, moving it closer to the top of the stairs, in the mostly abandoned warehouse, before jogging down the stairs, and grabbing the case indicated by the two elves. Grunting, Christoff carried the case up the stairs, before setting it in the trunk. Then he moved back towards the door, looking out again, to see the first two gangers only 50 meters from the door.
"Drek, The first wave is here." he broadcast to the group before positioning himself between the man door and the large overhead door, ready to open it, as Lorne turned the car around and got ready to exit...

Having loaded as much as he can into the car, Lorne slides the Manhunter out of its holster under his arm, checks the magazine and takes up position next to the driver's door - ready to get in or run for some cover that didn't cost him the earth.
