So, Black was running from his friends who had suddenly turned into agents of the computer program. As he flees, a random passerby turns into an Agent, this one apparently the Johnson program.

Being a fairly good cliche'-mancer and fairly well informed in Matrix knowledge I'll move around him and keep running. While rushing down the streets evading who knows how many more Johnson's I'll whip out my cellphone and say into it frantically:
"I need another way out here!"

Since Black is leaving Mario's apartment, the Agent is on the opposite side of the parking lot just slightly below the small playground. Black can't really "move around" him, but as far as options for running he can run straight past the guy and try to leap into the other apartment complex behind Mario's, run down the sidewalk and around the corner, run through the hallway behind him or run upwards and either go left to start heading towards Sutton or right to head into the aforementioned other apartment complex. Given Black's Haste attributes, he can also try to rapidly climb up the building and run off that way. The advantage of the roof approach is that less people are on the roof for the Agent to infest.

Oh, I thought you'd already placed me running on a street or something and had the agent take over someone in my direct path or something. My bad.
Black will rush out the door and take a leap off the balcony out back behind Mario's apartment (the way you come out of the hall facing towards the main entrance). As he kicks he will attempt to propel myself by blasting fire from his feet with his firebending right at the kick-off from the railing.
The hopes behind that being not only to add a bit more force and maybe land myself over the not-too-distant fence and into Olympia Gardens but also to burn anyone who's right on my tail at the point of the jump.
If all goes well with the jump Black will try to roll with the impact of the fall and then deal with either finding a car or continuing to run from there.

Yeah, oddly enough it constrains your actions a little more when they're a bit further from you.
You're on the ground floor now, that's the place you had to run to get away from your murderous friends.

Alright, then I continue running towards the enterance of the complex and then turn to the right and keep going after that. Whipping out my cellphone NOW and saying into it frantically.
"I need another way out here!" hoping it generates some kind of response.

As you run, Desert Eagle rounds with preternatural aiming fire away. A window shatters, then a chunk is torn out of the building, then a car's windshields are broken. A shot hits David in the shoulder but in a brutal manner, spinning him around like a top. He takes 8000 damage after mitigation. You find it hard to raise your cellphone as you are hurled into the ground. Red energy begins to coalesce: Your Star of War nature is beginning to take over. Luckily, the shots put you behind cover, but the cover is only a small sedan and the Desert Eagle is perfectly capable of punching through that. You see through the windshield that the Agent is getting closer, gun raised, ready to continue to press the trigger...

Can I still move? and if so how well?

You can still move, your pain tolerance from Star of War is excellent. [Speaking of: Add x5 Pain Tolerance under the Star of War Archetype, raising you to 12,500 Pain Tolerance, which means you can take a 8000 damage hit without even losing half a turn]. Your shoulder aches and moving it more may do more damage, you are bleeding badly. However, since you now know this is the Matrix, your Star of War confidence lets you survive quite a bit more than you would be able to normally. Just imagine how you'd move if you were shot in the shoulder but juiced out on adrenaline.

Alright, good enough for me.
Black will try to half flip/half thrust the car at the Agent in an attempt to halt him just long enough to fire a Vile Spear straight through the car and at the Agent.

OOG: Brilliant move.
The aching in Black's shoulder is horrible as he pushes up the car. The Agent is apparently not surprised by Black's strength, firing through the car more with his Desert Eagle... but the Vile Spear DOES surprise him. Black hears a sickening "crunch", and when the car fully flips Black can see unmoving legs and an expanding puddle of blood. Flipping the car required burning some Ki as well.
20,000 IP for taking down your first Agent!
Unfortunately, the Agent reappears behind Black, closer to the entrance. More Desert Eagle rounds fill the air.
Worse, Black's "friends" have now burst out of the apartment. Fred takes to the air, clearly going to monitor Black. Mario fires with a shotgun, similarly missing but further filling the air with lead. Marshall flips up onto the roof and is clearly going to try to attack from above. None of the rest act just yet. The only point that there is no enemy coverage is directly in front of Black, over the car, leading to the fence into Olympia Gardens.

After Black's training with Morpheus, this thread is nearly done!
This will be kept here, though, when Black decides to return to the Matrix world.

Obviously the previous events were rewritten, but this thread is still intended for the purpose noted!
