The suppressing fire stopped, and then a moment later there was a long burst of automatic fire behind the escort car. The sole surviving guard ran out of cover, throwing down his gun and taking off down the street, clutching his head and screaming in terror.<br/><br/>"Damn, that's some mojo," Langley whistled.<br/><br/>"Let him go," Strife said. "The Barrens will finish him. Let's go, the pawns won't be far behind."<br/><br/>They moved over to the van, where a quick look showed that all its occupants were either dead or unconscious. Langley wrenched open the back door while Strife scanned the streets with his rifle. "Get started, I'll cover you two." A large safe was bolted into the trunk of the van. Made of smooth black metal, it had no interface except for a single datajack. Its surface shimmered hazily with what Mika recognized as a mana barrier.<br/><br/>Langley pulled out a cable and prepared to physically plug in. "From what I understand, it's some sort of experimental mana barrier that shares the same space with the safe walls or something like that, that's almost impossible to brute force through. The only weak spot's where the surface's broken," he pointed to the datajack. "No wireless. You need to break through here so I can physically jack in."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Make a<em>Magic + Charisma [Astral] v. barrier’s Force x 2 Opposed Test</em>to break through the barrier.<br/>Force 8 barrier, 16 dice pool, 5 net hits<br/>Mika needs 6 net hits to break through!
