Act 1 - Res in Medias

The story began one fateful day (all days can be fateful, if you think about it), while the agents were engrossed in some presumably character-establishing activity they do outside of their job. They got a call, from the Director. Having their leisure time interrupted could mean only two things: they’re needed for an urgent operation, or some hobos got inside the headquarter.

Today, it was the former.

“Superagents of Magma Squad! You’re needed at the rendezvous point I’m sending you, ASAP! This isn’t only just a matter of national decurity, but it is also the matter of CTAP’s integrity itself! Our Quartermaster, Dr. B. Sortre, has been kidnapped, and we’ve managed to hack through the beacon scrambler! You have to retrieve her before she leaks anything, get going!”

[FallacyofUrist]

Len looked up from his game of Len, then got up and apologized to those he was playing it with for needing to leave in the middle of the game.

With that done, he starts sprinting for the rendezvous point.

[randomgenericusername]

Find a conveniently placed motorbike or car and drive to the rendezvous point.

[Dustan Hache]

Looking up from his tinkering of various commercial electronics, He would try to find the nearest uncarried firearm and grab it for later, before sprinting to group up with the others.

[Secheral]

Stop arranging flowers and run to the meeting point.

GM Post

Len got up from his eponymous card game, sprinting off into the distance. (4) The run gets him warmed up for the havoc that will surely soon follow. (+1 Energy)

The Agent finishes up whatever shady thing he was doing to shadily steal someone's (3) bicycle. "Hey! Stop! Thief!" a surprisingly fit elderly man ran over, but the Agent was already a-pedaling away.

Dustan grabs the nearest firearm, and call a cab for a totally-not-shady-meeting. (2) He realizes later that he grabbed an antique collector's revolver.

Almon finishes up his gardening and runs off to meet up with the other agents. (6) His eagles led the way to the rendezvous point, but he realizes too late that they actually led him to a group of armed men (well, they're probably men. Hard to gender faceless goons these days) shouting Russian and a struggling Dr. Sortre. Well, that's convenient. The bullets flying at him, however, aren't so convenient.

Ride the bicycle in a sneaky and stealthy way to the meeting point.

[Dustan Hache]

it'll have to do. Assuming I see the Russian guys, take aim old-west style, and shoot to kill the ones holding weapons. Remind myself to return it to the antique collector I got it from.

[Secheral]

Dodge like the mighty earthworm and wriggle to the doctor. Also sic eagles on goons. If they're as generic as they are faceless their capabilities don't include aiming down or up so these are perfectly risk-free actions.
