Weatherman: 3 body + 6 armor + 4 = 13d6 = [1,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,4+1=5,6,6,6,6]=5 hits, taking 3 damage.

Initiative: 1d6+8-1 = 8

(Harvard: 3 Body + 12 armor + 4= 2 5 5 6 3 3 2 3 5 5 5 4 1 1 6 5 4 5 1 = 9 hits

Initiative: 7+3d6= 21)

4 Body + 15 Armor (jacket + orthoskin) + 4 = 4 hits, taking 3 damage.

Initiative: 9 + 2d6 = 15

Before anyone can act - the remaining lights in the place go out. Thankfully there's enough light from various other sources to not impair anyone.

(Up first: Harvard, Doc Shadow, Hecate (actions resolve in that order))

Ears still ringing, and hair full of shattered glass, Harvard springs out of the booth, heavy pistol drawn and waiting for someone to give him a reason.

(Readying to shoot the first motherfucker to give him a reason
SA with the Beretta: 10d6= 3, 2, 5, 2, 4, 4, 6, 1, 1, 2 = 2 hits)

"Who in the name of the Queen's fine china bombs a tea shop!?" Doc Shadow says as he calls forth some allies. A bizzare creature pops into existence on the dwarf's shoulder, the tiny creature looking like a mythical European fairy...dressed like a hospital nurse. Then, an even weirder thing appears - a shambling mass of plants pops into existence out in the main area.

(Hecate is up)

Hecate slides through the glass to the shattered window for some cover (1 square to the right), relying on her armor to protect against further abrasions from the glass on the floor. She levels her Winchester, the only shotgun she brought, at NH1 and fires a narrow spread. Chummers gonna pay for that grenade.

Simple Action:
15d6: 1,1,1,2,2,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6 = 6 hits, plus upgrading one 4 to a 5 with Great Success, so 7 hits total

Hecate's shotgun blast thunders through the confined tearoom, and hits the attacker square on - but he's wearing just enough armor and is just hardy enough to avoid being send into unconsciousness, but the ganger does get knocked back onto his ass.

More gangers come running into view!
One of them attempts to jump into the tearoom through the broken window, Harvard shoots at the ganger, but he dodges out of the way with obviously augmented reflexes. A wicked-looking blade slides out of the ganger's hand, opposite his thumb, and he charges at Harvard with it, slashing the gun-toting runner with the cyberweapon. (1 box of physical damage)
Another one steps up from around a corner and spots the four runners still in the booth. "Keeb, trog, and squat!" he shouts, before levelling his machine pistol in the direction of the private room, aiming at Netizen. The ganger hits the ogre square on with a well-aimed round, but Netizen just glares at the freak as the bullet bounces off his jacket. (All damage resisted)
The ganger that Hecate blasted to the ground shows no signs of letting up, he hauls himself back to his feat and laughs maniacally, shouting "I'm gonna kill you, keeb!" as he unloads his machine pistol at the elf. But, the wounds of the ganger plus the uncompensated recoil of his weapon mean that the bullets go right into the ceiling of the tearoom instead of the elf.

Meanwhile, the sound of a door being kicked in can be heard from the main entrance of the tearoom.

(Weatherman is up, followed by Netizen)
(PS: Added Weatherman's van to the map)

"I really should start keeping my RCC on me when I meet with these guys." Weatherman thinks as he huddles for cover.

He pulls out his comlink and orders one of his attack drones to boot up, exit the van, and shoot the first bad guy it sees.

Using Control Device matrix action (in AR)

Simple to boot, and simple to command the move?

One of Weatherman's drones powers up and drifts out of the van. As it exits the van, its sensors alert Weatherman to the presence of numerous other gangers, along with two vans emblazoned with the same logo that the gangers have - a silver-taloned hand slashing across a full moon.

Netizen's police training kicks in and he drops down behind the table before drawing his pistol and firing it at NH2, but the ganger dodges out of the way.
(Free Action: Drop to knee)
(Simple Action: Ready Cavalier Arms Sheriff)
(Simple Action: Fire Cavalier Arms Sheriff [Single-Shot, Pepper Punch Capsule Round]. (Attack: 3,6,6,1,4,2,5,5 (4 hits). NH2 gets more hits on defense test, attack misses)

(Initiative Pass 1 of Turn 1 is complete. Commencing pass 2...)

Suddenly, Hecate's implanted commlink reports an intrusion from an unknown source. There's an enemy decker in the area!

(Harvard, Doc Shadow, and Hecate are up)

Harvard seems to blur for a moment, as he suddenly dashes to the left of NH10 and fires a "parting" shot.

(Simple Action: Attribute Boost (7 dice: 3, 2, 5, 5, 1, 6, 4= 3 hits for +3 to Agility for 6 combat turns)
Simple Action: Single shot at NH10: (14 dice: 6, 2, 5, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 6, 1, 3, 3, 4, 2: 6 hits)

"Weatherman, we could use some anti-decking, think you can assist? I'm getting an intruder!"

Then Hecate aims another blast at the ganger she knocked down, ready to blast his ass.

15d6: 4x 6, 3x 5, 4x 3, 3x 2, 1x 1 (7 hits)
