[Dennis: It's a figure of speech. Team Red was in a left eschelon
manuever, and then "spread the net" to block Jory off from Billy and
Keavy. I'll try to draw the events using ASCII (L is Lamanz, S is Shamus,
F is Silas Finn)--

Hopefully, that helps give a visual image. Jory is now circling Silas on
the right, hoping to slip back into position.]

Leaning her machine and locking the brakes for just a fraction of a
second, Juliette threw Felix sideways in an attempt to close the gap and
block Jory's escape. The Sidewinder whipped out in front of Jory's Tiger
successfully preventing Jory from passing.
"Damn you two," Jory called out at Juliette and Silas. Jory tried to
maneuver right and then left, but Juliette matched her moves. Silas moved
back to run just behind Jory as he controlled his Warrior's manipulator
arm to unhitched the autocannon from its back.
"Good job, Red Two," silas radioed to Juliette. "Keep her there. We're
almost at the banked turn." Ahead the banked turn and the end of the
no-fire zone loomed closer.
[GM: Juliette rolled an 9 vs. Jory's 7 on HG Piloting test. Juliette
successfully kept Jory behind her.
Again, everyone, just lead into your moves into the banked turn. If you
intend a move
against anyone else to cut them off or the like, just leave your text to a
proper point before your intended move and in brackets let me know what
you intend to do. Griz, you can tell Jory and billy what to do as wel, but
I'll roleplay them. When your decision is posted, I'll roll initiative and
against the appropriate skill, namely gunnery or piloting. If you have
something super special that you want to keep hidden from another PC
opponent, just send me a [Private] email.]
