CH3-03 Photo Recognition

A chance occurrence in London's Heathrow Airport leads to a desperate search to find answers to terrible lost knowledge.

The Crewman on the wheel, slows the boat slightly, apparently so he can use both hands to gesticulate as he and his companion enter into an argument with Alex
OOC:   Yes you can try a persuade.

"Please," begs Liz in broken Albanian. The terror is evident in her voice and on her face. She points out the men on the shore. "See those men there? They are Verbetoi, they are armed, and they are going to kill us all if we land there - if we're lucky. They'll probably shag me silly first." The word "shag" is in English, but the meaning is evident from the context.

OOC:   Sorry I meant Alex can do a Persuade. Die roll still stands.

Note Alex wouldn't have mentioned Verbetoi because there is a strong chance their fear of the Verbetoi would override any threat of physical violence you might offer.

Can I have a Spot Hidden from anyone who went up to the bridge.  
The man stops the engines letting the ferry drift for a bit he then puts the engines in reverse and widens the gap between the ferry and the shore.

Liz,Liz gapes in amazement as one of the men slings an SMG over his back then starts to gallop towards the bank picking up speed as he does so reaching the water's edge he simply leaps across the 15m+ gap between lake bank and the ferry.

"We don't have time for this..." Andy pulls out his pistol "Alex, get us back on course..."

Oblivious to the approaching threat, Andy motions the ferry crew to stand aside...

"He's jumping over the water!" shouts Liz, taking out her shotgun and pointing it at the horseman.

The two men in the wheelhouse both step away from where Andy and Liz have suddenly pulled guns. Alex grabs the wheel and starts to turn it while talking rapidly to the two crewmen. Outside the man pulls himself over the rail and disappears behind a minibus.
OOC:   Not a horseman just a man although his gait did certainly remind Liz of a horse's

"He's behind the minibus," says Liz, taking cover and keeping her shotgun trained in its direction so that she'd be ready to fire as soon as he showed himself. "He's got a submachine gun."

"One of them jumped onto the ferry," Liz reports into her Bluetooth to alert those back at the 4 x 4. "He's behind the minibus, with an SMG. Maybe you can outflank him."

"He what? Jumped? Not even Greg fucking Rutherford could do that!" Andy says whirling around trying to get a bead on whoever had made it onto the ferry. "It's one of those fucking 'Supermen' ... Alex.. get us away from the shore now!"

With wide eyes and a mounting fear of dread he heads toward the car deck, "We're gonna need some luck... if you get a shot.. take it!"

Alex talks to one of the men and clearly telling him tot take the wheel, the ferry stops drifting and starts to turn back on course.
OOC:   Can I confirm who is where? My assumption is that everyone but Clay is up in the wheelhouse but hapy to be told differently by BenTheRat that Clay has also headed up there.

OOC: Sorry was camping all weekend. Back now.

Clay is laying unconscious in the back of the truck still I believe. (did you mean Greg)

Greg had redied his pistol but stayed in the truck with Clay.

Greg tries to identify the minibus and looks under the bus for any legs.

Liz uses the wheelhouse itself as cover if possible, using a window or the doorway to peek outside and through which to aim her shotgun.

The problem for Liz's is that while you are up high and there is reasonable cover there a limited view of the car deck where the man is hidden. However, She should be able to see him if he approaches the landrover.

Also, note just behind the bridge is the cafe/seating area and there are also people standing just a few feet away some of who are now starting to pay attention to what is going on in the wheel room.
OOC:   See image of ferry NB inyour situation while your located in the same place as the landrover in the picture there is another vehicle (small box van) between you and the ramp.

OOC,I'm okay with the limited view. I don't need to shoot him if he stays where he is, as long as I can see him if he moves for the Land Rover or the wheelhouse and take a shot then. Plus, someone needs to defend the wheelhouse in case he tries to seize it and move the ferry towards shore where his buddies are waiting.

Greg,Greg feels rather see's the ferry slow and then start to just as slowly turn clearly his companions have managed to persuade the crew to not make landfall. As these thoughts pass through his mind he hears a clang of something heavy hitting the side of the ferry. Looking up he is just in time to see a man pull himself over the railings, his arms are covered in familiar tattoos and a huge knife hangs at his hip, but it is the small compact machine gun which he unslings from over his shoulder which gives Greg the most immediate concern. Snatching his pistol Greg fires (you can fire up to 2 shots with your pistol BTW) but in his haste, the first shot goes completely wild

Those in the Wheelhouse:
A shot rings out from the car deck those in the wheelhouse believe it was outgoing from the landrover though its not clear at what (although common sense says the minibus)

"Greg, did you see him?" Liz asks into the Bluetooth. "Where exactly is he?"
