[h2]Raymond Haywood: Highway Robbery[/h2]
The revelation that not one, but two Protectorate Capes were guarding their target was somewhat annoying. Raymond generally preferred to do his own research on his targets before taking them out, which he'd clearly lacked the time to do in this situation, and he generally preferred it to be accurate. Still, he wasn't exactly perfect in that regard either: he'd gotten some research avoidably wrong before, and nearly been outed as a parahuman as a result. And this was a much less severe error, or so it seemed, so one could forgive the Broker for his failure in this case.

Regardless, it seemed a point had to be made about whether the team went through with the mission, or whether they didn't, and apparently both Arsenal and Chatterbox were willing to take the gamble (har de har har) that their original plan would still work out. Non-lethal methods of defense were most likely, and they reckoned Love Craft could handle the issue until Chatterbox managed to calm the targets down and keep them from pursuing the group. Which left Headhunter to disable the vehicles.

The first step of the plan was leaving his M16A4 in a location other than his initial sniping point. In his case, he'd placed it about halfway down the hill he would initially start at the top of, such that he could slide down to it once the initial job was done, and so avoid notice if somebody happened to be smart enough to figure out where he had initially set up and started shooting from, and in turn allowing him to kneecap or otherwise disable his targets in ways that did not involve enough force to mulch their upper bodies. That said, the Steyr IWS 200 would be the weapon he used to do the vehicle disabling: by shooting out the engines of each truck in the convoy, they could be forced to roll to a stop in a way that would be relatively non-harmful for the occupants of the vehicles, as was desired by Broker.

And right on cue, Chatterbox asked Headhunter to shoot the vehicles so that they would roll to a stop in line with their car, to allow it to be used for cover. If Sofia ignored the wheels of the vehicles into the ground, as discussed, that would be right in front of the car; if not, it'd be a fair distance in front of the car instead. 'Copy that, Chatterbox,' he responded, his own bluetooth still on just to hear what the others were proposing. 'Sofia, you need to make your mind up quickly, because what you do decides when I shoot out the engines.' In truth, he had already decided that short of any response, he'd shoot the engines out a bit closer to the car than they might expect - knowing human psychology, the drivers of each truck would likely brake comparatively quickly, bringing the convoy to a halt faster than perhaps the others would plan for. Assuming, of course, he could take out all three vehicles quickly, because if he was slow on the first, the other two might accelerate away further than was sensible to allow. But he had time to prepare for either eventuality, at least.
