[15.08] Law Enforcement
****************
*Security Guard*
****************
While monitoring the surveillance cameras ____ spots someone enter the
elevator with a computer. He's sure that he's never seen them before, but
isn't sure what to do. Should he call the police or confront the suspicious
character?
"Call Police"
"Confront"
As ____ waits for the elevator to reach the parking level he recalls a news
report about a string of late night business robberies. The doors open and
____ confronts the suspicious woman, asking to see her Company ID card. The
woman makes as if to reach for her wallet, but knowing better than to let a
criminal reach into her coat, ____ tackles her to the ground. The computer
is smashed to bits, and the woman turns out to be a company employee. Luckily
she takes ____'s mistake in good humor, but ____ is forced to pay $349 to
replace the computer.

*Detective*
***********
____ stoods in the shadows behind the 444 club, his breath hanging in the air.
He'd been on the case of the Maltese Llama for many days without a single
lead. It'd been as though someone was acting against him, predicting his every
move. That is, until he'd ran into Sally. Sally was the type of dame who knew
thing ... the undercurrents of the city, the word on the street - and that
some "big deal" package had been delievered to the doorman at the 444 club
only a few hours earlier. So it was that ____ found himself, downtown on a
cold and blustery afternoon, debating whether to sneak in though the club's
back door or up the fire escape to a dimly lit window, left open despite the
cold.
"Back Door"
"Fire Escape"
Up the fire escape, the air is cold, and the wind whistles through cracks in
the drain pipes. Inside the window is dark, lit only by the slowly smoldering
embers of a forgotten cigar. ____ surveys the room, filled with anomyous boxes
and furniture, and spots the unmistakable outline of the Maltese Llama
carefully concealed beneath a heap of curtains. Within seconds ____ is back
down the fire escape, Llama in hand, but seconds after that he's standing in
the alley face to face with three of the biggest men he's ever seen. After all
is said and done, ____ hobbles back to the office without the Llama, losing 1
Body skill point and two day's pay.
******************
*SWAT Team Leader*
******************
____'s team has been asked to aid the Vice Squad in a raid they're planning on
an abandoned warehouse down by the docks, where a large trafficking ring has
set up headquarters. ____ has taken position on the roof, and is planning to
rappel down through the warehouse's skylights in a direct assault. A vice
officer has decided to go in with ____ and his captain, so ____ fits the
officer with rappelling gear, and his only remaining decision is whether to go
in under cover of a Flashbang grenade or a smokescreen grenade.
"Flash Bang"
____ pulls the pin of the flashbang grenade, tosses it down through the
skylight, orders his team to move in, and jumps in after the grenade. He's
missed his mark and only succeeded in alerting the suspects to his team's
presence. A number of the criminals manage to make an escape in a waiting
speedboat, and members of ____'s team are injured in the shoot-out. ____
loses 1 Logic and 2 Cleaning skill points for the mess he's caused.
"Smokescreen"
____ pulls the pin of the smokescreen grenade, tosses it down through the
skylight and dives in after it. The vice officer has been unable to follow, as
____ neglected to give her a gas mask. ____ drops through the thickening fog,
which has become so thick that he is unable to locate the suspects, but the
large cloud of black smoke has clearly alerted them to HIS presence. A number
of criminals manage to make an escape in a waiting speedboat, and members of
____'s team are injured in the shoot out. ____ loses 1 Logic and 2 Cleaning
skill points for the mess he's caused.
