She sounds confident and cold.\n[20:54] <~ToreadorVampire> And the line goes dead\n[20:54] <~ToreadorVampire> brb, nature calls\n[20:54] <+Apex> (( Well that was a fuckup ))\n[20:55] <+Obeah> ((meh, it went about like i expected it))\n[20:55] <+Sonya> (cluster goat fuck to quote a certain individual)\n[20:55] * +Dreamer looks at Obeah. "I told you we needed to kill them. This be nice to everyone stuff is going to get me killed."\n[20:57] <+Obeah> "Nah, I got insurance. Blood and hair, they won't touch us. They are down by two out of five. Without their hacker, I'm pretty sure they are done."\n[20:57] * +Apex sits back and looks pensive for a moment.\n[20:57] <+Apex> "Whos up for a deal with the yakuza?"\n[20:58] <+Apex> "Without Spindle they are done."\n[21:00] * +Apex goes back to his normal voice and cuts Obeah off of his PAN\n[21:00] <+Apex> "Could I have that subvocal back?"\n[21:01] <+Obeah> "If her sister is smart she will ritual track her. But that eats up time and resources."\n[21:01] * ~ToreadorVampire returns\n[21:01] <+Apex> "Can you stop that?"\n[21:01] * +Dreamer sighs.\n[21:02] <+Obeah> "Sort of, but i don't really want to spend that much effort when i can be focussed on other things, besides, anything i do will only stop them from getting close for a while and i'd have to know where they were.\n[21:02] * +Dreamer gets back on the comms. "You guys are overcomplicating this."\n[21:02] * +Apex pokes Dreamer, "The subvocal"\n[21:03] <~ToreadorVampire> Ooh, that reminds me\n[21:03] <~ToreadorVampire> In the info about the job that the enemy team had:\n[21:04] <~ToreadorVampire> Most of it is what you already know, but Scorch had a file about the tracking modules installed on Gharban corp's prototypes ...\n[21:04] <~ToreadorVampire> ... they all use the Rimmer-Bentun IV algorithm\n[21:05] <~ToreadorVampire> In game terms this information grants a +2 modifier on any dice rolls to scan for/hack/modify or work with the tracking module(s) on the bike\n[21:05] <+Dreamer> "Huh?"\n[21:05] * +Apex points to her throat where the subvocal microphone is still stuck\n[21:06] <+Dreamer> "Uh, sorry." She pulls it off and hands it back.\n[21:06] <+Apex> "Well, I think they might still attempt it, and it Sonya does anything nasty, they'll be out for blood.\n[21:08] * +Dreamer sighs. "I think we're gonna get fucked, because we're pussies. There is only 4 of us, there is almost 4 of them, still, and rather than tracking them down and finishing them, we called them up and gave ourselves away."\n[21:09] * +Dreamer shrugs, "But thats life, what?"\n[21:09] <+Apex> "Again, anyone up for a deal with the yakuza?\n[21:09] <+Apex> "We may be able to keep the running team off the run with the dirt we have on them."\n[21:09] <~ToreadorVampire> OK - it's 10 past nine now and time to wrap up ...\n[21:09] <~ToreadorVampire> However, I'm all for people staying in character if they would like ...\n[21:10] <+Apex> ((longer sessions ftw! ))\n[21:10] <~ToreadorVampire> ... but from this point on it's "forum rules" which essentially means you can only do things that don't require any game mechanics\n[21:10] <+Sonya> ok\n[21:10] * +Sonya will be back in 3 hours game time\n[21:11] <~ToreadorVampire> Yeah, also - I'd like people to be thinking about what they want to do in the 2 days up to the run ...\n[21:11] * +Sonya will be moving\n[21:11] <+Dreamer> (*thinks about....buying stuff =P*)\n[21:11] * +Sonya will also be buying stuff\n[21:11] <+Apex> "So how best to fuck the other team over?"\n[21:12] <~ToreadorVampire> ... I don't think there's much specific stuff you can do, that will require GMing - so what I'd *really* like is for people to email me saying "I spend two days doing XXX", then at the beginning of next session I throw a couple of dicerolls, and we spend next session doing the actual run\n[21:12] <+Apex> "We have enough data to pull their mage out the picture and possibly fuck them in a variety of ways"\n[21:14] <+Dreamer> "Well, I imagine their team will be sticking together from here on out."\n[21:15] <+Apex> We could tip off the labs"\n[21:15] <+Apex> "To their plan and to them"\n[21:15] <+Dreamer> "Cuz they wouldnt beef up security against us if we did that..." She raises an eyebrow\n[21:16] <+Apex> "We could tip off the yakuza."\n[21:19] <+Dreamer> "I dont want the Yakuza there competing with us either. We've already killed almost a dozen of them."\n[21:19] <+Apex> "They already are competeing with us. We could use this to distract them a bit."\n[21:20] <+Dreamer> "No, I'm pretty sure we killed their entire runner team."\n[21:21] * +Apex shrugs, "I think Spindle will still try to do the run"\n[21:22] * Parts: +Obeah (~Stormvane@Psi-8B8D278F.ok.ok.cox.net)\n[21:22] <+Apex> "I'll drop Static some emails, give her some aprehensions, she is probably using Spindle to assure herself that we'll keep Scorch safe\n[21:22] <+Apex> "That emotional link can probably be more effectively exploited"\n[21:23] * +Sonya comms Dreamer: "I had to drop outside comm range.

Boy, has this Johnson chosen not to lay on a hospitality package for you. Passing ruined shack after ruined shack, you come to see that this is the end of town that everyone else chose to conveniently forget. Ahead, you see much of the same, interspersed with the occasional patch of violence in the streets.\n[18:23] <+gruegirl> (but wern't we in that one bar?)\n[18:23] <~ToreadorVampire> Here, anything goes, and the law seemingly has no real presence. What could have caused such an enormous section of a city like Seattle to fall to ruin like this? Clearly, this area was not always like this. Behind the filth, graffiti and vandalism you see what look like they were once high-class office buildings and store fronts, now used as squats.\n[18:23] <+Sonya> (we were but I assume at least a day has gone by)\n[18:24] <~ToreadorVampire> You approach district 23, there is no difference between this and any of the other districts, just a number identifies it. You doubt if any of the residents even knew or cared which district they lived in. Up comes Park View on your AR displays, you aren't quite sure where the park is, or even was. It could have been any one of a number of the nearby slimy dirt pits filled with dumped garbage. You are getting close now though, and it's time to look sharp.\n[18:24] <+gruegirl> (Eh I'll just send you a GPS location to my apartment)\n[18:24] <+Sonya> (Ok - picked you up and are now cruising through the district)\n[18:25] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> Travelling by bike, quite a good-looking bike, you definately stick out in this area. You feel it is likely safer for your to keep up a good speed, as many hungering eyes are on your bike ...\n[18:25] <~ToreadorVampire> ... this does not look like a safe part of town\n[18:26] * +Dreamer does, in fact, go at ludicrous speed.\n[18:26] <+gruegirl> (Do you go plaid?)\n[18:26] <~ToreadorVampire> Obeah> Things are likely even worse for yourself, the only public transports that will enter the Everett region are run-down and smelly\n[18:28] <~ToreadorVampire> Boisterous and disruptive thugs run riot inside, and the single conductor on board looks insecure, even behind reinforced plastisteel\n[18:28] <+Sonya> (plaid?)\n[18:29] <+gruegirl> (Ludicrous speed!)\n[18:29] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> Your car is also quite high-end, again, you are not the best at blending in, although you aren't on a sports bike\n[18:29] * +Obeah sits as unobtrusively as possible near the exit of the bus, one hand casally on my gun under my jacket, and my mind ready with my stunbolt spell\n[18:30] <~ToreadorVampire> The journey into the Everett region takes its time, and reminds you that there is always someone that could be worse off than yourself ... no matter how bad you think you may live\n[18:30] <~ToreadorVampire> You each arrive near the meet location ...\n[18:30] * +gruegirl adjusts my hair a little, Sonya, you notice a hint of horns hidden under my hair\n[18:30] <~ToreadorVampire> Before you is #3867c\n[18:31] <~ToreadorVampire> What looks like it was once a single unit has been separated into three by unstable-looking partitions, jammed into the middle, covered over with what look like old bulletproof vests. Your information leads you to the third along, what looks like it is intended to be a restaurant, although considering the area, you very much doubt that what they serve could be passed off as food by anybody's standards. Still, the colourful and haphazardly painted sign above the door "Gertie's" has attracted a fair number of vagrant souls inside, where they sit and keep to themselves, eating this filth like it was all the food they had seen in weeks.\n[18:31] * +Sonya makes a note of the horns, but is more interested on what is going on outside\n[18:32] <~ToreadorVampire> ... what are people doing?\n[18:32] * +Dreamer looks around at the dump. \n[18:32] * +gruegirl checks my SMG out, "I hope we don't hit any deadzones... I HATE deadzones..."\n[18:33] <+Sonya> "Nice view."\n[18:33] <+Dreamer> (Is there a place to park the bike? I'm gonna need to set acharge on it, to blow up anyone planning to steal it.)\n[18:33] <+Sonya> "I like the park, very post-modern apocalypse"\n[18:33] <~ToreadorVampire> A dump it is ... this particular road is what looks like it may have one been a thriving high street, centre-of-town\n[18:34] <~ToreadorVampire> But now the buildings have fallen into disrepair, and vandalised to the point where their precise original purpose has long been lost\n[18:34] * +Obeah exits the bus and heads for the resteraunt steering carefully around the debris and thugs, I nod ot the others as I see them\n[18:34] * +Dreamer sighs. "Should have taken the bus." Then looks around for a spot to hide the bike\n[18:35] * +gruegirl is satisfied that my SMG is in working order as I place it in it's holster "Let's get this over with."\n[18:35] * +Sonya puts on her bulletproof vest\n[18:35] * +gruegirl is in my camo-suit\n[18:35] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, there is an area that may have once been a parking lot, but at the moment it is strewn with various pieces of garbage ...\n[18:35] <~ToreadorVampire> ... you could probably kick some of it out of the way (and presuming there is nobody sleeping in there) leave the bike there ...\n[18:36] * +Dreamer parks the bike against a wall, and tosses some cardboard and such over the bike.\n[18:36] <~ToreadorVampire> ... you should be able to find something to chain it to\n[18:36] <~ToreadorVampire> That works also\n[18:36] <~ToreadorVampire> The car ... you could just park it up outside ...\n[18:37] * +Sonya gets out of the car, putting on a pair of cop glasses\n[18:37] <~ToreadorVampire> ... having seen you don budy armour, and draw/ajust automatic weapons, many of the eyes on you begin to look away\n[18:37] * +gruegirl keeps on my goggles as I get out\n[18:37] * +Dreamer is wearing her business suit, and a stylish pair of shades.\n[18:38] * +Sonya lets the engine run for a bit before she shuts it off\n[18:38] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer may as well also be wearing a neon jacket that reads "does not fit in"\n[18:38] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, "does not belong here" at least ;)\n[18:39] <~ToreadorVampire> You have a quick look up and down the street (not every building has a building number) and you confirm again that this restaurant is definately the correct building\n[18:39] <+Sonya> "if you do shoot, just keep the gun pointing in the opposite direction of me."\n[18:39] * +Dreamer looks around, and nods at Sonya, indicating that we shoot get this started.\n[18:39] <+Dreamer> (should!)\n[18:39] <+gruegirl> "Hey, I worked for Google Security for 2 years. I know how to handle my gun."\n[18:40] <+Sonya> "I am sure you have."\n[18:40] <~ToreadorVampire> The inside of the restaurant (from what you can see through the scratched/damaged plastisteel window) is ... makeshift at best\n[18:41] * +Sonya opens up the door for gruegirl\n[18:41] <~ToreadorVampire> There is a board placed on large container turned on its side, acting as the counter, with an orcish female (possibly Gertie) standing behind\n[18:41] <+gruegirl> I go inside looking for someone who looks like a Johnson\n[18:41] * +Sonya walks in after gruegirl\n[18:41] <~ToreadorVampire> The 'dining' area is a mixture of old tables, likely salvaged from various other buildings nearby, a completely mixed bag\n[18:41] * +Dreamer enters next.\n[18:42] <~ToreadorVampire> You can't help but wonder whether this is the kind of food that would have been packaged and sent off to the armed forces to chow down on while they were serving on the front line. It might have even tasted better back when it was fresh. Now, well, you suspect that it would be better not to look at the expiry date.\n[18:42] <+Sonya> "Two coffees please"\n[18:42] <~ToreadorVampire> The middle-aged woman behind the counter looks like she could wrestle most gang thugs to the ground, and has enough marks and scars on her to suggest she has done a number of times. That look on her face suggests she doesn't much like the sight of you either.\n[18:43] <+gruegirl> "And a package of nutrisoy." I say to her\n[18:43] <~ToreadorVampire> The female behind the bar glares at the group of you with a somewhat agitated expression. "I got soykaf or water, and you don't want the water"\n[18:43] <~ToreadorVampire> What you lot doing in here? I don't want no trouble!\n[18:44] <~ToreadorVampire> (in a confrontational tone)\n[18:44] <+Sonya> "soykaf then"\n[18:44] <~ToreadorVampire> She calls round to the rear of the restaurant, through a somewhat haphazardly put-together serving hatch\n[18:44] <+Dreamer> "We're meeting someone, supposedly. Is there someone here expecting us?" She looks at the orc\n[18:45] <~ToreadorVampire> Two kafs! And a bag o' goop!\n[18:45] <~ToreadorVampire> The agitated expression comes straight back to the woman's face as soon as you mention that you are meeting someone:\n[18:45] * +Sonya picks a chair that does not look like it will fall apart and sits down at a table with her back against the wall\n[18:46] <~ToreadorVampire> I don't have meetings goin' on in here ... no trouble, you come in, take a seat and eat your goop, or you clear out\n[18:47] * +gruegirl munches on the nutrisoy. and sips my soykaf\n[18:47] <~ToreadorVampire> ... (as she says this, a dirty orcish male in tatterred clothing looks over to you all, with a slightly worried looking expression, stands up and shuffles out towards the door)\n[18:47] <~ToreadorVampire> Now are you wanting a tube of goop too?\n[18:47] <+Dreamer> "Do you pick up anyone in the building?" She directs at Grue, and eyes the orcish male, heading for the door.\n[18:47] * +Sonya looks at him casually, face recognition software coming online\n[18:48] <~ToreadorVampire> The orcish male looks very nervous, and ... well ... doesn't look like any Johnson you have met before ... as soon as he realises you are looking at him, he speeds up and exits quickly\n[18:48] <+Obeah> I'll take a cup of 'kaf, please\n[18:48] <+gruegirl> I use one of my tasks owed by my sprite to use a sniffer program to pick up any commlinks in the area\n[18:48] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> A data search + logic check please\n[18:48] <+Dreamer> "No, thank you, I've had my fill of goop for the day." She heads over to the group. "I don't like this as all."\n[18:48] <+Sonya> team: should I take him down?\n[18:48] * +Sonya is messaging\n[18:49] <~ToreadorVampire> GG> Sure, I assume you'll just leave it going as long as it takes?\n[18:49] <+gruegirl> Yeah I'm keeping the sprite on sniffer as a longterm task\n[18:49] * +Obeah looks at his commlink quizzically as if wondering how someone is making words appear on it\n[18:50] <~ToreadorVampire> Immediately, you pick up the rickety old public access nodes in the area, with a third online, but unstable, it seems to be coming online and dropping offline rather a lot\n[18:51] * +Dreamer keeps an eye on the exits. "So."\n[18:51] <~ToreadorVampire> One of the tramps in the room has a commlink also, as does the woman behind the bar (and it identifies her as "Gertie")\n[18:51] * +Sonya sends a message to Obeah: "I R in ur comput3r steeling ur dr1v3"\n[18:51] <~ToreadorVampire> There are two more commlinks in what you assume is the "kitchen"\n[18:51] * +gruegirl messeges the tramp with a commlink "Are you mister johnson?"\n[18:52] <~ToreadorVampire> ... and now, one more, having just come into range, from outside the bar, coming down the street\n[18:52] * +Obeah looks even more confused, "Hmm, i think i need a new commlink" he says to himself\n[18:52] <~ToreadorVampire> The tramp looks suprised, as if this is the first direct communication he has had to his commlink in months\n[18:53] * +Dreamer puts her hands on her guns. The concealed ones.\n[18:53] <~ToreadorVampire> He pokes around at it, seemingly not knowing that the message came from yourself, and replies "no, who are you?"\n[18:53] <~ToreadorVampire> All of you:\n[18:53] <~ToreadorVampire> (and GG, this is the new commlink that just came into range)\n[18:53] <~ToreadorVampire> From across the road, you see an elf kid wearing dirty flats come jogging along. You wouldn't have considered him remarkable, except that he is wearing what looks like a tattered luminous visibility vest, and a grubby retro yellow baseball cap. It's the cap that really captures your attention. That thing must be nearly antique now, nobody has made hats in that fashion in ... well, years.\n[18:54] <~ToreadorVampire> He runs right up the front door and bursts right in, panting softly. He looks over the tables, almost immediately fixing his gaze on the group of you, giving you - in no uncertain terms - a wink and a nod towards the exit. Gertie's call to make an order is silenced immediately by his shrill voice:\n[18:54] <~ToreadorVampire> "Tha'ss a'right Gert! I were jus' goin' a'chully!"\n[18:54] * +Sonya does an eBay equivalent search for the baseball cap\n[18:54] <~ToreadorVampire> At this moment he turns, and slowly exits the building, walking clockwise around the building, and disappearing around the right hand corner, giving a glance back towards the group of you as he does.\n[18:54] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> They're a collectors item now ... admittedly, this one is in absolutely *awful* condition, and wouldn't fetch much ...\n[18:54] * +Sonya messages the team: Running point\n[18:54] <~ToreadorVampire> ... but it's still suprising to see it\n[18:55] * +Sonya quickly follows after\n[18:55] * +Dreamer gets up, and nods to Sonya in a "lets go, you first" type way.\n[18:55] * +Obeah follows at a walk\n[18:55] * +Dreamer goes right behind Sonya.\n[18:55] <~ToreadorVampire> The kid walks around towards the side of the building, and you reach the door just in time to see him vanish into an alleyway ...\n[18:55] * +gruegirl pays Gertrude and then leaves\n[18:55] * +Sonya walks into the alleyway\n[18:56] * +Sonya sends a crypto message "eyes and ears for you"\n[18:56] * +Sonya sends a crypto message to gruegirl "eyes and ears for you"\n[18:56] <~ToreadorVampire> The kid has wandered behind a number of boxes, old containers of nutrisoy packs piled up ready for disposal\n[18:57] * +Sonya follows\n[18:57] * +gruegirl decrypts the messege\n[18:57] * +Sonya relaxes\n[18:57] <~ToreadorVampire> He looks at you, and after a short pause he says:\n[18:57] <~ToreadorVampire> So, are you th' group I sent for then?\n[18:57] <~ToreadorVampire> You all here?\n[18:57] * +Dreamer moves behind Sonya, into the alley, hoping they dont have to deal with low class punks for long.\n[18:57] <+Sonya> "You must be Mr. Johnson then"\n[18:57] <+gruegirl> I raise an eyebrow "And if we are?"\n[18:58] <~ToreadorVampire> Yeah, but call me Jimmy.\n[18:58] * +Sonya looksa round the alley for an abush\n[18:58] <~ToreadorVampire> I know I don't look the part, but you know, this'd be the last place anyone would look eh?\n[18:58] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> Perception check please\n[18:58] * +Dreamer shakes her head, looking at the elf kid.\n[18:58] * +Obeah assenses the boy\n[18:59] <~ToreadorVampire> OK (he says) so - you wanna hear about this job then?\n[18:59] <+Dreamer> *an amused smile follows*\n[18:59] <~ToreadorVampire> Obeah> Assensing check then please\n[18:59] <+Dreamer> "Yeah, why don't you tell us about the job. Or convince me you can pay, one or the other." She smiles at him, pleasantly enough.\n[19:00] <+Obeah> roll sr 7\n[19:00] <+BoxCars> Obeah rolls (7) and gets (4 hit(s))\n[19:01] * +gruegirl pulls my hair back into a ponytail, this reveals a pair of small demon horns that were hidden by the swirling patterns of my hair color "I'm all ears."\n[19:02] <~ToreadorVampire> Obeah> Healthy orc male, has a couple of minor implants, notably ears and eyes, plus some cosmetic work done\n[19:02] <+Obeah> ((orc or elf?))\n[19:02] <~ToreadorVampire> Wait, lol, elf\n[19:02] <~ToreadorVampire> Still an elf\n[19:03] <~ToreadorVampire> Zero magic rating\n[19:03] <~ToreadorVampire> Seems quite happy and calm at the moment\n[19:04] <~ToreadorVampire> OK (he says)\n[19:04] <+Sonya> roll sr 1\n[19:04] <+BoxCars> Sonya rolls (1) and gets (0 hit(s))\n[19:04] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> No evidence that there might be an ambush\n[19:05] <+gruegirl> roll sr 9 data search check to assess any visible/sniffed things on him\n[19:05] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (9) data search check to assess any visible/sniffed things on him and gets (4 hit(s))\n[19:05] * +Dreamer looks at the young elf, expectantly.\n[19:05] <~ToreadorVampire> So ... well ... the job is a snatch ... I've heard about some cool new tech being delivered, and I've got the address and time it's being delivered\n[19:05] <+gruegirl> technological things\n[19:06] <+gruegirl> My eyes light up "What cool tech thing?"\n[19:06] <~ToreadorVampire> GG> Yes, there is a data connection between this kid and another external source, some way away\n[19:06] <~ToreadorVampire> ((Although, i think that should have been electronic warfare))\n[19:06] <~ToreadorVampire> Well ... it's a bike ... not just any bike, a brand new bike.\n[19:06] <+gruegirl> (Same modifier anyways)\n[19:07] * +Dreamer lits an eyebrow. "A brand new bike, you say. What sort of bike?"\n[19:07] <~ToreadorVampire> It's called the Blitzrad Mk 3, and it's a prototype you see ... the people I'm working for want to have the prototype, so they can study it themselves ...\n[19:07] * +Sonya messages the team: going for a walk\n[19:08] <~ToreadorVampire> ... so, I've been tipped off about the delivery, where and when, so now all I need you guys and gals to do is steal it\n[19:08] <+gruegirl> "And how much nuyen is in it for us?"\n[19:08] <~ToreadorVampire> Oh ... well ... I'll make it worth your while ...\n[19:09] <+Dreamer> "How worth my while will you make it?" She gives him a smile that can't be fake.\n[19:10] <~ToreadorVampire> How about six thousand nuyen each if you can get it for me?\n[19:10] <~ToreadorVampire> If it's not got a scratch on it then I'll make it eight\n[19:10] <+gruegirl> "Six grand... not bad for an easy job like this. I'm in."\n[19:11] * +Dreamer smiles. "So no security or anything to contend with then, I imagine?"\n[19:11] <+Obeah> No job worth paying for is that easy, who has the bike, who are we taking it from?\n[19:11] <~ToreadorVampire> Well ... that's what makes this job so great ... why I thought you'd love it\n[19:11] <~ToreadorVampire> This little facility the bike's being delivered to has very little security ...\n[19:12] <~ToreadorVampire> ... but - there are some catches\n[19:12] <+Dreamer> "There is no such thing as an easy job. And 6000 doesnt sound like a deal, either." She gives Gruegirl a "What the hell kind of negotiating was that??" look.\n[19:12] <~ToreadorVampire> Firstly, I know when the bike is being delivered, but I don't know when it's leaving, and you must not take it before the work's finished\n[19:13] <~ToreadorVampire> The bike is going to this place for some special work doing on it. Now, we don't want the bike before this work is finished.\n[19:13] * +Dreamer listens, expecting a laundry list of problems.\n[19:13] <~ToreadorVampire> So you'll have to wait it out until the techs inside have completed their work. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two ...\n[19:13] * +Sonya walks around the block\n[19:14] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> You don't see much of anything, except an interested looking tramp eyeing up your car ...\n[19:14] <~ToreadorVampire> ... he doesn't look like he has the firepower to break in and take it though ...\n[19:14] <+gruegirl> "Push comes to shove, he can complete the work at gunpoint..."\n[19:14] <~ToreadorVampire> Kid: Well, that's up to you ...\n[19:14] <+Sonya> (as long as he is eyeing, I have no qualms with it)\n[19:15] <~ToreadorVampire> ... as long as the work is done, and they don't raise the alarm\n[19:15] <~ToreadorVampire> But anyway - if you bring us the bike and the work hasn't been done, then the deal is off - the bike's useless to my boss\n[19:16] <+Dreamer> "Breaking into the facility and holding hostages isnt high on my to-do list." She looks at the kid. "I'll tell you what. We'll do it for 10, each. If no one gets shot at, and its all smooth, I'll give you a discount."\n[19:16] <~ToreadorVampire> Well ... maybe ...\n[19:16] * +Sonya does a bit of searching for this mk3 bike, what do the bike nuts say\n[19:16] <~ToreadorVampire> He pauses for a moment, and ...\n[19:16] * +gruegirl does the same thing\n[19:16] <+gruegirl> roll sr 9\n[19:16] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (9) and gets (3 hit(s))\n[19:17] * +Dreamer gives him another smiles, and turns up the pheromones.\n[19:17] <+Dreamer> (smile, too)\n[19:17] <~ToreadorVampire> OK - Dreamer - as he pauses, you catch the slightest nod coming from the kid, almost like an agreement\n[19:18] <~ToreadorVampire> He then nods far more vigorously, and says: Yeah, OK - that's a deal ten K each ... but the bike has to be in perfect condition when we get it\n[19:19] <~ToreadorVampire> OK - Chrys and Grue - you do a search on this motorbike (Chrys, you need to throw a data search + logic check)\n[19:19] <+Dreamer> "Pristine. I guess if it isn't, we can always repair it, and sell it to the highest bidder." She smiles at Jimmy again.\n[19:19] <+Sonya> roll sr 2\n[19:19] <+BoxCars> Sonya rolls (2) and gets (0 hit(s))\n[19:20] <+Obeah> So to make sure that i understand, the bike will be delivered at a location that you will disclose to us in a bit. It is going there to have some final adjustments or whatever made. These need to be made or its worthless. Once they have been done, we lift the bike and deliver it. Do i have it down?\n[19:21] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, you'll have a hard time doing that ... there's only one of these you see, and well ... if you go advertising you've got it, to find a good price, you're going to attract the kind of attention you don't want\n[19:21] <~ToreadorVampire> Obeah> Jimmy nods at you\n[19:21] <~ToreadorVampire> But yeah, it's not that bad ...\n[19:22] <~ToreadorVampire> In fact, it's great - as I was saying - this little lab it's going to, well - they have almost no security team themselves, because ... well - they're too small, and they don't get much of this high-profile work\n[19:23] <+Dreamer> "We'll be fine, I'm sure. Why dont you send over all the information on the facility?"\n[19:24] <~ToreadorVampire> But - the only problem is that it's got a bigger security team that they can call in with a bit of notice ... so you really don't want to alert them\n[19:24] <~ToreadorVampire> If they find out that it's a bust, they probably won't want to complete their work, and they will call the big guns in ... now - you really don't want that to happen ...\n[19:24] * +Dreamer nods, "You're right. We really don't."\n[19:25] <+Obeah> How long before the bike is delivered?\n[19:25] * +gruegirl cracks my knuckles "I'll have to disable the alarms...\n[19:25] <~ToreadorVampire> Now, there's one last thing ... this tip off that I got ... about where the bike is being sent ...\n[19:25] <~ToreadorVampire> ... I'm not sure I'm the only one that got it\n[19:25] <~ToreadorVampire> Obeah> Oh, I'll give you the specifics in a moment\n[19:26] <+gruegirl> "So we might not be the only runners?"\n[19:26] <~ToreadorVampire> Anyway, what I was saying is that there might be some other interest in this bike ...\n[19:26] * +Dreamer looks at him. "If we're in the shit with 3 or 4 other teams, 10,000 isnt going to cover this, Johnson."\n[19:26] <~ToreadorVampire> ... well ... I know you're the only team I've hired to do the job\n[19:26] * ~ToreadorVampire smiles\n[19:26] <~ToreadorVampire> Why would I bet against myself?\n[19:27] <~ToreadorVampire> Oh, I dunno if you'll see any other teams like you on the job ...\n[19:27] <+Dreamer> "Because you think its smart business, and you only need to pay the team that ends up with the bike."\n[19:27] * +Dreamer tilts her head slightly, watching his reaction.\n[19:27] <~ToreadorVampire> Throw a negociate roll please\n[19:27] <+Dreamer> roll sr 16\n[19:27] <+BoxCars> Dreamer rolls (16) and gets (6 hit(s))\n[19:28] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, he is definately on the defensive here ... kind of wishing he hadn't said what he just did ...\n[19:28] <~ToreadorVampire> I mean, when I say I might not have been the only one to get the tip, it's only what you'd find out anyway ... well ... I hear that my source sold the info to more than just me\n[19:28] <~ToreadorVampire> That's all ...\n[19:29] <~ToreadorVampire> ... so ... maybe there will be other people wanting the bike\n[19:29] * +Dreamer looks at him, "Our price is 15,000. Each."\n[19:29] <~ToreadorVampire> Um ...\n[19:29] * ~ToreadorVampire pauses again, as if unsure as to what to say ...\n[19:30] <~ToreadorVampire> ... again you see a slightest of nods from him, before he nods directly to you and says "done"\n[19:30] * +Dreamer taps on her commlink, "Sonya, who is telling him what to say? Find the person"\n[19:30] <+Obeah> How about this, we get 10 for the bike in perfect condition, it its as easy as you say. If's not we expect further compensation comparable to the increased cost that we will incure\n[19:30] <+Obeah> ((nvrmind))\n[19:30] * +Sonya does a bit of snopping now\n[19:30] <+Obeah> ((can't type fiast enough))\n[19:31] <+Sonya> roll sr 5\n[19:31] <+BoxCars> Sonya rolls (5) and gets (2 hit(s))\n[19:31] <~ToreadorVampire> Well, look, OK - I'll give you fifteen ...\n[19:31] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> What skills was that?\n[19:31] <+gruegirl> (Why do you have Sonya doing that? I'm the decker here :-P)\n[19:31] <+Sonya> (intuition and cracking, specifically elec Warfare)\n[19:31] <~ToreadorVampire> OK, good ...\n[19:31] <+gruegirl> (I'll make an electronic warfare check to try and figure out where he is too)\n[19:31] <+gruegirl> roll sr 9\n[19:32] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (9) and gets (3 hit(s))\n[19:32] <+Dreamer> (I want her to find his body? well, I had planned her to look for him the old fashioned way =P )\n[19:32] <~ToreadorVampire> Well - yes, you can also see the signal between the kid and "something else"\n[19:32] * +Dreamer smiles, "15,000 will do for now. Give us the information. We'll see about the rest of it."\n[19:32] <~ToreadorVampire> The signal between the kid and "whatever else" is encrypted though, and is routed through a public matrix point\n[19:32] <+Sonya> (location)\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> Alright then ...\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> You need to get the bike from:\n[19:33] * +Sonya messages gruegirl: location of puppetmaster\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> 276 Row &44d\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> Commercial Zone 5\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> Artificial Landmass G3 "Sol Beach"\n[19:33] <~ToreadorVampire> Seattle\n[19:33] * +Dreamer points out a rough location of where the kid is nodding to, on the commlink.\n[19:33] <+Dreamer> (where is that in relation to my shop?)\n[19:34] * +gruegirl sends Sonya what I know about it, where the public matrix point is and stuff\n[19:34] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> Your shop is likely in the "downtown" district, this location is in the "outremer" district, look at the map on my website\n[19:34] <~ToreadorVampire> The kid continues ...\n[19:34] * +Sonya checks how far that public matrix point is\n[19:34] <~ToreadorVampire> To finish, you need to deliver to the bike to us\n[19:35] <~ToreadorVampire> Sonya> Not too far, it's on this street, a few buildings down ... from there, there will be a general matrix connection, you'd have to trace that to find the matrix node that the "other person" is communicating from\n[19:35] <+Dreamer> (I dont see the map on the site =P )\n[19:36] <+Sonya> (well one less node)\n[19:36] <~ToreadorVampire> http://toreadorvampire.co.uk/rpg/shadowrun/seattle-map.pdf\n[19:36] * +Sonya runs over to the public access point\n[19:36] <~ToreadorVampire> So, in the docks in the Tacoma district, zone 6, harbour F ... we'll have a truck waiting\n[19:37] * +Dreamer nods.\n[19:37] <+gruegirl> I'm going to AR access the node, and try to trace the way from there\n[19:37] <~ToreadorVampire> As soon as you have the bike, and are in the vicinity of harbour F, you need to send an email to this address <sends the address to Dreamer via commlink>\n[19:37] <+gruegirl> since it's public access I assume I don't need to explot?\n[19:38] <~ToreadorVampire> GG> Nope\n[19:38] <+gruegirl> alright I'm gonna run my Track program to run the trace\n[19:38] <+gruegirl> roll sr 8\n[19:38] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (8) and gets (4 hit(s))\n[19:38] <~ToreadorVampire> 10 minutes after an email is received to that address, a truck will arrive, it'll have the ID tag #550-en321-88dg3\n[19:39] <~ToreadorVampire> It'll pull up in the area, in plain sight ...\n[19:39] <~ToreadorVampire> You must load the cycle onto that truck within 30 minutes of its arrival\n[19:39] <~ToreadorVampire> Now, the truck will leave after 30 minutes, no matter what, so don't be late \n[19:40] <~ToreadorVampire> If you're late, we'll have to reschedule, and I'll dock you 1,000 nuyen each\n[19:40] <+Dreamer> "We won't be late."\n[19:40] <~ToreadorVampire> OK ... as soon as the bike is on the truck, you're done\n[19:41] <~ToreadorVampire> I'll contact you with payment after that\n[19:41] <~ToreadorVampire> So ... any questions\n[19:42] <+Obeah> Um, I would very much like payment upon delivery, not after\n[19:42] <~ToreadorVampire> Oh, um ...\n[19:42] <~ToreadorVampire> (and he pauses yet again, just as before)\n[19:42] <+Dreamer> "Yeah, you expect me to give you the bike before I have payment of any sort? I dont think so."\n[19:42] <~ToreadorVampire> OK then ... how about I have the cabbie of the van carrying some certified sticks?\n[19:43] <+Obeah> That would be fine\n[19:43] <+Dreamer> "Define some, please."\n[19:43] <+gruegirl> roll SR 8\n[19:43] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (8) and gets (3 hit(s))\n[19:45] <+gruegirl> roll sr 8\n[19:45] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (8) and gets (3 hit(s))\n[19:45] <+gruegirl> roll sr 9 stealthy\n[19:45] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (9) stealthy and gets (7 hit(s))\n[19:45] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> Well, how about one each?\n[19:45] <+Dreamer> "By some, do you mean '15,000 each' or some other number?" She looks at him\n[19:46] <+Dreamer> "One in what numerical denomination?"\n[19:46] <~ToreadorVampire> Oh, erm, erm, how about half?

Thanks."\n[21:35] <~ToreadorVampire> On the bike front ... the fan world is particularly excited about this bike, because of the new TX-4500 Turbo Boosting System inside it\n[21:35] <~ToreadorVampire> Allegedly this is an amazing ground-breaking technology\n[21:35] * +Sonya takes out the donuts and sips her double shot cafe mocha with whip cream\n[21:36] <+Dreamer> can we download the specs on this technology? if its so damned cool, my Suzuki could use it =)\n[21:36] <~ToreadorVampire> In your search you find a promotional video of the bike, you can play it on Dreamer's trid system if you'd like ...\n[21:36] * +Dreamer sets it up.\n[21:36] <+Sonya> So our trouble is the exfil\n[21:37] <+Sonya> "We have two options, by air or by sea"\n[21:37] <~ToreadorVampire> OK ... so - you see an image of a rather cyber looking bike ... you realise quite quickly that this is a simulation, although a good one, you would have (for a moment) thought that was a real person getting on\n[21:38] <+Dreamer> "Well," Dreamer gestures to the engine of the VTOL, "As you can see, the plane isnt ready yet.."\n[21:38] <+Sonya> "We could swim out from the lab carrying the bike in tow"\n[21:38] <+gruegirl> "Can we get it ready in time?"\n[21:38] <~ToreadorVampire> The CGI rider glides around an exotic-looking landscape (almost certainly fake too), while a somewhat boring voice speaks some promotional marketing blurb ...\n[21:38] <+Dreamer> "We have 30 minutes to put it on the truck. Swimming isnt gonna do it."\n[21:39] <+Dreamer> "Wait, where will the truck be?" I check the comm\n[21:39] <+Obeah> "We have 30 minutes after we call them to get it onto the truck"\n[21:39] <~ToreadorVampire> ... towards the end, you see the demonstration of the turbo boosting system (and the parts that all of the fan audience have been commenting about on the bulletin boards):\n[21:40] <~ToreadorVampire> There is a slow green buildup ... well ... it feels slow, although it lasts for maybe a half second, followed by a bright blue flash of light from a rather interesting looking module attached to the engine. \n[21:40] <+Obeah> ((oh no, meteor rock))\n[21:40] <~ToreadorVampire> The bike vanishes into the distance, you expect that it was ... well ... you have never seen a motorcycle go that fast before\n[21:41] <+Dreamer> "Fancy Nitrous oxide system?"\n[21:41] <+gruegirl> "When can the plane be ready?"\n[21:41] <+Dreamer> "When we have a lot more money."\n[21:41] <+Sonya> "So we have to transport the bike off island?"\n[21:41] <~ToreadorVampire> ... the ending of the video comes, and the bike's manufacturer, the Gharban corporation's logo comes into view and spins around once, before the trid ends\n[21:42] <+Sonya> "We will need a boat then"\n[21:43] <+gruegirl> "I'll look into renting one\n[21:43] <+Dreamer> (Where is Harbor F?)\n[21:43] <+Sonya> "Look at an aliumium flat bed dinghy with two engines"\n[21:44] <~ToreadorVampire> Dreamer> You pull up a publicly-available map of the Tacoma district's dock zone 6\n[21:44] <+Dreamer> (on the island, or off?)\n[21:44] <~ToreadorVampire> Oh, it's off the island ... a long way off ...\n[21:44] <+gruegirl> roll sr 9 data search for renting a boat that is fast and can carry us, our gear and the bike\n[21:44] <+BoxCars> gruegirl rolls (9) data search for renting a boat that is fast and can carry us, our gear and the bike and gets (1 hit(s))\n[21:44] <+gruegirl> ....\n[21:45] <~ToreadorVampire> If you have a look at the Seattle overview map http://toreadorvampire.co.uk/rpg/shadowrun/seattle-map.pdf - the artificial island is part of the Outremer district, and Harbour F is in the Tacoma district\n[21:45] <~ToreadorVampire> grue> Well, you find something, it's not cheap, and it's a bit rickety, but it's better than nothing\n[21:46] <+Dreamer> "We need a boat.

We can likely find rates and quotes before hand, and then talk to them in person. An office facing the Shiawase lab would be nice."\n[22:00] <+Obeah> "Actually that would work, we should also see how many of the offices have been available and are looking at getting rented in the next week or so"\n[22:01] * +Dreamer nods. "We're working on that already."\n[22:01] <~ToreadorVampire> ((If Obeah had used any edge, I would have given out a point of edge refresh for that idea))\n[22:01] <+Obeah> "Of course, i think that question should be asked of the building's database, not of the office manager"\n[22:01] <+Obeah> ((Guess i'm too low budget))\n[22:01] <+Sonya> "So, look around, see about offices.

"We could. I'd prefer to eliminate them before the drop date, if possible."\n[22:03] <~ToreadorVampire> So ... from your publicly available listing, there are no offices for rent in the building that face the lab\n[22:03] <+gruegirl> "Asuming there IS another team..."\n[22:03] <+Obeah> "I'd rather not go head to head if we can avoid it, but we should have a back up plan in case it happens"\n[22:04] <+gruegirl> (Any jobs at the nightclub?)\n[22:04] <+Sonya> "We kill them quietly, we can't fail."\n[22:04] <~ToreadorVampire> However, you do find a small restaurant on the second floor, in a position that overlooks the lab - it says (for the day on which the delivery is scheduled) "Booked for filming" - but no more info publicly available\n[22:04] * +Dreamer nods in Obeah's direction. "I'm thinking shoot them, 4 on 1, while they buy groceries, and sleep."

I should have mentioned this a long time ago, because it's a policy I have held for years in tabletop games, but forgot to mention with a new group. My policy on players who can't attend game sessions is thus:\n<<<\nIf a player can't make a game session, and knows in advance then my ideal way of handling things is for the player to inform me that they can't make the session, and have a short session beforehand with me in PM to decide what their character is likely to do. This way I can run an absent player's character, without getting worried about taking actions on the character's behalf that the player doesn't approve of.\n\nIn all other circumstances, this is the policy I fall back onto: If a player can't make a game session, then (for that game session) their character is 'in limbo' and in general won't participate in the game. That means that if the team is not in deep mission at the time (IE: The character could just be busy that day) then they will be unavailable to the party.\n\nIf the team are in "deep mission" - IE: The previous game session left off with the characters all in an area which they could not just walk out of ) then the character is still in 'semi-limbo'. IE: I will avoid taking any actions as that character unless absolutely critical. Equally, I will not direct any enemy attacks at that character (unless this makes no sense at all, for example a spirit coming along to which the absent player's character has spirit bane).\n\nThis means that your character is generally safe if you can't make a game session, however the team don't get the benefit of that character's skills.\n\nIn extreme cases where the character's skills are absolutely required for the plot to advance (such as a hacker character being the only person that can get the team into a facility) then I will run that character for those actions, in "party-co-operative manner" IE: They will take reasonable actions as requested by the team. Otherwise, they will be in that 'semi-limbo' state, where the character was either taking cover, or lagging behind or whatever other in-character explanation can be given as to why they didn't get involved in encounters.\n\nI'd ask the other players to be reasonable about the in-character roleplaying with this, if someone can't make a game and their character gets limbod, then don't be too harsh on the character next game session, I'd like to avoid //"Hey, you left us to die, I don't trust you now, <blam blam blam>"//.\n<<<\n\n!!If Two or More Players Can't Make a Game Session\nIn this case, I will call the game session off/reschedule, unless the team is in a situation where two or three characters can go off independently and take actions that don't require the other team members (IE: The party are not in deep mission, and two characters can go do some quick recon/legwork). In general I don't like running a game session with 40% or more of the team missing.

Hi all, this page is all about my weekly ShadowRun 4th edition game on the [[otherworlders.org|http://otherworlders.org]] IRC network. The game runs in the channel ''#sr4e''. If you're interested in the game, you can take a look at [[the game session logs|GameSessionLogs]].\n\n!!Schedule\nThe game runs on ''Sunday afternoons'', from ''5pm BST (British Summer Time) to around 10pm BST'' (or whenever we get too tired).\n\n!!Other Info\nProspective players should read the [[campaign style notes|ThingsToRead]]. You can read the current PlayerList, also I am currently inviting players to send me CharacterDescriptions. I have now created a RecapPage for reading (briefly) about what has happenned in the game so far.

{{{\n17:11:08 <ToreadorVampire> OK ... this week we have a new player joining ... I'm not yet decided how we're going to integrate him - his regular nick is "Halflander" - not sure what the chararacter name is yet ...\n17:13:16 <ToreadorVampire> Right - so a quick recap of last week's game ... mostly it involved the "epic short conversation encounter"\n17:12:23 * ToreadorVampire gives voice to Sever\n17:12:28 <Sever> thank you\n17:13:22 <Sonya> Hi Jack\n17:13:43 <ToreadorVampire> Which included explosions, hacking, gunfire, uncnosciousness, calls to lone star, and possession by spirits :s\n17:13:56 <ToreadorVampire> (did I miss anything out?)\n17:14:14 <Jack> Greetings\n17:14:30 <ToreadorVampire> Vincent> You missed the latter part of the session - you can go see the logs on the website, but - as usual with this team "all hell broke loose and people barely made it out"\n17:14:32 <Sever> you forgot... stunbolt... and nearly arresteed at an airport\n17:14:41 <ToreadorVampire> Yup, those too!\n17:15:00 <Sever> sec... cramp.... and sarnie\n17:16:16 <ToreadorVampire> So - the team are currently in a large black SUV, with an unknown guy at the wheel - he identified himself as "sent by Mr Creed" but you don't know much more about him, except that he has a silenced pistol on his passenger seat and that he was sent to watch the contact that you were supposed to meet\n17:16:35 <ToreadorVampire> The contact himself is unconscious (Apex took him out with blackout last game) - and in the SUV with you\n17:17:00 <ToreadorVampire> Vincent - you can be on board also if you want - or you can be elsewhere (but nearby) - that choice I leave up to you\n17:17:30 <Vincent> Alright. Guess I'll do that.\n17:17:38 <ToreadorVampire> Also - Sonya is really hurting from a world of stun damage - and is currently awake at the grace of a stim patch - so she will be taking a "forced nap" sometime in the next hour :s\n17:17:52 <ToreadorVampire> And ... you're welcome to get started\n17:18:08 * ToreadorVampire has secretly sent Apex the info from the contact's commlink\n17:19:25 * Sever is back... and wondering if TV is still fat from pizza last night?\n17:21:19 <ToreadorVampire> The driver of the SUV says: "So - that was one hell of a meeting, you know - you only needed to touch base with him and arrange somewhere to meet up?"\n17:22:23 * Sever shrugs... wasnt going to happen the guy pulled a gun on our team... hes lucky i let him live\n17:22:57 <ToreadorVampire> "Right ... anyway ... I was going to contact you later - once I knew you were safe, but now seems just as good as any other time"\n17:23:53 <ToreadorVampire> "Your mission now is to track down the fence that has taken the data from Rose and Mary. They're rather uptight with their identity, and the quickest way to them will be through a deal"\n17:24:30 <ToreadorVampire> "Our boy there" - he points over his shoulder to the unconscious body - "just happens to be in on a deal that's going down, starting tomorrow night"\n17:25:07 <Sever> think we can still convince him to be in on it? \n17:25:46 * Sever continues to watch both the driver and the "contact carefully"\n17:26:43 <ToreadorVampire> "He can get you in, and he can tell you the people involved"\n17:27:10 <Sever> i doubt he will be quite so willing to help however\n17:27:45 <ToreadorVampire> "Huh, I doubt he was *willing* to help in the first place"\n17:28:33 <Sever> mmm... well... \n17:29:58 <ToreadorVampire> "So, where to?"\n17:32:04 <Sever> to get our gear would be a good plan\n17:33:21 <ToreadorVampire> "Good, it will be delivered in a few hours - I know the location, I will take you there. Anywhere else first? Do you have accomodation ready?"\n17:34:03 <Sever> did that straight from the airport... im a travelling buissness man attending a conforence here in boston... didnt you know?\n17:34:08 * Sever grins\n17:35:06 <ToreadorVampire> "Good, well, you have time to kill, so anywhere while we wait?"\n17:35:50 <Sever> know of any good resturants? i havnt eaten for a few hours... and i have pretty much all i need either on me... or on its way\n17:37:30 <Apex> "Uh, what about the unconcious guy and soon to be unconcious girl in here?"\n17:38:04 <Sever> mmm... point... well.. he should be taken somewhere secure.... mmm maybe her to\n17:38:21 * Sonya is slowly turning a mottled color\n17:38:51 <Sever> and there she goes.\n17:39:31 * Sonya decides not to kill sever in the car\n17:39:39 * Jack makes faint moaning sounds\n17:39:56 <ToreadorVampire> "So, where to? I assume conventional hospitals are out of the question?"\n17:40:13 <Sever> hes coming too?? should i keep him out till we are in a better location?\n17:40:28 * Sonya licks her lips and stays silent\n17:40:50 * Sonya speaks, "Apex this is your rodeo now.

That way I can get you a map of the parking lot, plus be a little more ready for "all hell breaking loose" (which, you know, with this team's record, I suspect will happen)\n20:50:52 <ToreadorVampire> I know Vincent has already had to dash, plus Ramasses needs to make a move soon-ish ...\n20:51:01 <Ramasses> yep im down with that...\n20:51:36 <Sever> sure thing... ill be back on oblivion then hehe\n20:51:39 <Sonya> Cool\n20:51:59 <Ramasses> TTFN\n20:52:00 <Sonya> Now for Drama to sort out\n20:52:07 <Sonya> Bye-ez\n20:52:10 <Sever> by ebye\n20:52:43 * Sonya is now known as OnButterflyWings\n20:53:00 <Jack> Worry not.

No, I won't, because I won't be here next week.\n20:53:28 <Sever> hehehe... well you seee while you were out cold... we put a cranial bom in your head\n20:53:35 <OnButterflyWings> And?\n20:53:45 <ToreadorVampire> I wonder how long it will take before everyone starts shooting each other? ;)\n20:54:05 <OnButterflyWings> Well I was thinking on groin shooting Sever\n20:54:09 <Sever> they have to see me with -9 dice first\n20:54:16 <OnButterflyWings> and then maybe kneecap Jack\n20:54:45 <OnButterflyWings> "I took his guns away, both of them."\n20:55:18 <Jack> Sounds fun\n20:55:20 <Jack> Good luck with that\n20:56:07 <Sever> right im off... ttfn\n}}}

Maintenance is all done via the control panels in the manitenance tunnels\n17:39:13 <ToreadorVampire> Sever> yes, but wait\n17:39:23 <ToreadorVampire> Other info you get with 24 successes ...\n17:41:06 <ToreadorVampire> Vincent> Yeah - you find an old blog post - an indie news reporter and hacker managed to find a hardwire to one of those maintenance panels (he runs a blog on corporate coverups) - he accessed the panel and posted its comm code - plus a few videos of things he had gained from the surveilance cameras attached\n17:42:26 <ToreadorVampire> The surveilance from the pipeline says "all clear", and the camera footage from the maintenance tunnels has all-but been taken down by the corp that used to own the facility\n17:43:35 <ToreadorVampire> BUT - you do manage to find one old video that wasn't taken offline totally - and from the looks of it (and all of the comments left) - it depicts a ghoul dragging the part-decomposed body of a security guard wearing a flak vest\n17:44:32 <Sever> yummy... ghouls... one of the vey first atempts of of cybermancy... but ofcourse not according to what the news would have you belive\n17:45:27 <ToreadorVampire> Also - you find a really obscure forums thread about that illicit access to one of the maintenance panels - various street hackers seem to have been at it, using it as their own private playground - loading it full of virusses and IC and the like, challenging each other to try and break through the encryption and the various defences they had loaded onto the system ...\n17:45:28 <Vincent> (Is that IC?)\n17:46:46 <ToreadorVampire> Unfortunately, it seems that three years ago (from the last dates on this thread), the hardline that connected this maintenance terminal to the outside world must have been (possibly intentionally possibly not) but none of the hackers seem to be able to access the node anymore - they all lament that their "little toy" is gone\n17:47:18 <ToreadorVampire> ... and I believe that that's all of the info I have to give you ...\n17:47:21 <ToreadorVampire> (phew)\n17:47:32 <Sever> (and yes it was IC when i said that)\n17:48:08 <Vincent> (So, the only known hardwire to the panels has been taken down?)\n17:48:09 <Sever> (this character loves the diea of cybermancy and is walking down the magic side of that tree)\n17:48:14 <ToreadorVampire> Vincent> Yes\n17:48:31 <ToreadorVampire> And - before it was taken down, one of the maintenance panels was filled with nasty stuff like IC and virusses\n17:49:04 <Vincent> (Right... so we have to physically access each individual panel, and one of them is likely very screwed up.)\n17:49:13 <Sever> bettter to go in manually... bet before we go... vince can you fix my suit...\n17:49:27 <ToreadorVampire> From the information published about the panel - you can determine which maintenance panel they had access to and pinpoint it on your map of the maintenance passage\n17:49:37 <Sever> (also... whats my spirit see in astral)?\n17:50:21 <ToreadorVampire> Sever> If you want your spirit to go to the sewage plant then that's a remote service, sinec you're not there yourselves yet and it would be leaving your immediate range\n17:50:42 <ToreadorVampire> So - it would use all of the remaining services up (to have it go there then report back)\n17:50:48 <Sever> mm yeah i will send it to scout... ill resummon if i have to\n17:50:56 <ToreadorVampire> But you're only about 10 mins behind the mafia guys in your cars\n17:51:02 <ToreadorVampire> OK ... the spirit goes and assenses\n17:51:06 <Vincent> "Looks like that's how it is, yeah."\n17:51:12 <ToreadorVampire> What are its exact orders Sever?\n17:51:43 <Sever> go to the plant investiget the perimiter in astrall and report all your findings\n17:51:44 * Vincent marks the messed up panel on the map before forwarding it to the others, then checks out Sever's suit to see what he can do.\n17:51:54 <ToreadorVampire> Also - does anyone else have any questions (anything I forgot to answer whilst going through the info gained by data-search)\n17:52:09 <ToreadorVampire> Vincent> Do you have an electronics kit with you?\n17:52:14 <ToreadorVampire> (or anyone)?\n17:52:36 <Vincent> (Nope. :-/)\n17:52:51 <ToreadorVampire> Sever> OK ... the sprit goes there, and then returns two minutes later. It reports:\n17:52:52 <Sever> i think apex would have()\n17:54:50 <ToreadorVampire> I saw the area where you told me to look, I saw a powerful spirit there, of the earth. It was tearing the building down - there is now very little remaining of it. I also saw a very large warding on a tunnel entrance nearby - I didn't go near it - I could see that it might have destroyed me if I tried to pass it.\n17:54:56 <Vincent> (Hmm, does it seem likely that there could be a hardware solution to the bad panel? Shorting appropriate wires or some such?)\n17:55:21 <ToreadorVampire> Also - I saw a lot of other creatures in a nearby building, near the warded tunnel entrance. The creatures did not have regular metahuman essence, they are infected\n17:55:35 <ToreadorVampire> Vincent> Possibly - that could be the case ...\n17:55:48 <ToreadorVampire> However ... unlikely\n17:55:53 <Sever> ok boys and girls... we have an earth elements... ripping the plant aprat...\n17:56:24 <ToreadorVampire> Especially for remote actions like accessing the pressure seals and the cameras in the pipeline - very unlikely\n17:56:24 <Sever> a warded tunnel... i may not be able to cast inside... and i think some ghouls are nearby... the ghouls... \n17:56:54 <Sever> i dont really know much about them... the could be a problem... we need to get into that tunel and fast\n17:57:35 <Vincent> (K, just checking. Since I'm not going to do nearly as well at IC and viruses and crap as Apex would. :x)\n17:57:35 <ToreadorVampire> Oh - there's some info I need to give you that I forgot. Each of these maintenance panels has a seal next to them in the maintenance tunnels. The maintenance panel can be used to open/close those seals also. It's likely that the security forces will have tried to close the seals behind them\n17:57:41 <Sever> maybe even run the car right up to it to get in\n17:57:46 <ToreadorVampire> As they exited - but they can be re-opened using the panels\n17:58:30 <ToreadorVampire> (( Yeah - if Apex is not around for the hacking-specific bits then I will just determine the average time it would take Apex to do the job, and say "he does it, he takes X time" ))\n17:58:59 <Vincent> (And that would allow us to do what... get between the panels more quickly... if we don't get chewed on by ghoulies?)\n17:59:44 <ToreadorVampire> (( Vincent> Well, because some of the IC/hacking things I have set will probably mean certain death (or at least failure) for your character ))\n18:00:11 <ToreadorVampire> ((so it's not really fair to say that "the one guy that can really do it" can't be involved, meaning you have to die ;) ))\n18:00:47 <Vincent> (Heh, yeah.)\n18:00:57 <ToreadorVampire> And yes - Apex has an electronics kit - so - Vincent - you can make a [hardware] + [logic] test with the electronics kit to fix Sever's stealth suit\n18:01:21 <Vincent> roll sr 11\n18:01:21 <BoxCars> Vincent rolls (11) and gets (3 hit(s))\n18:01:39 <ToreadorVampire> OK - that's enough to do it - Sever - your stealth suit is operational again\n18:01:46 <Sever> thanks...\n18:02:02 <Sever> should make it a bit easier for me to get about... and help \n18:02:47 <Vincent> "Glad to help."\n18:03:05 <ToreadorVampire> So ... Vincent - as Sever described his spirit seeing, you see the building that the mafia entered collapsing. The walls come down, and it is (fairly quickly) reduced to rubble\n18:03:31 <Sonya> "So our job right now is to get into the sewers and close off the exits, right?"\n18:03:37 <Sonya> "Give me an order."\n18:03:38 <Sever> yep\n18:03:50 <Sever> how about now... i will have to try and resummon inside\n18:04:02 * Sever releases his spirit\n18:04:14 <ToreadorVampire> OK Sever\n18:04:37 * Sever shudders and pulls out his gun.\n18:04:42 <Sever> mmmm crap....\n18:05:00 <ToreadorVampire> Just to clarify also - the door to the maintenance tunnels is currently sealed shut, and magically warded (although the warding goes down if you open it)\n18:05:07 <Sever> i will need a few seconds inside to prepare myself... my charms will most likely fail aswell... i wont be as fast \n18:05:33 <Sonya> "Vincent, give me an order. Or else I will go to the first exit and start closing the doors myself."\n18:06:04 * Sonya stops off at an electronics shop, leaves the engine running.\n18:06:43 <ToreadorVampire> Sonya> What'cha buying?\n18:07:08 <Sever> (lol i think tht was a joke cos we are miles away ffrom a shop... i think vince "fell over"\n18:07:37 <Sonya> I want a satellite link or a signal booster\n18:08:01 <Sonya> I need something to go through ground, lots of it\n18:08:48 <ToreadorVampire> Oh, no ... not that you can buy off the shelf - plus if you're trying to get to the tracking device in the case - it's not going to be any good, because the tracking device will be too weak\n18:09:04 <Sonya> Nope, I need for my commlink\n18:09:09 <Sever> and most likley gone\n18:09:11 * Mithran (~Mithran@971820.AC693E.5E9321.3C6780) has joined #sr4e\n18:09:11 * ChanServ gives voice to Mithran\n18:09:19 <ToreadorVampire> wb\n18:09:25 <Sonya> Hi mith\n18:09:29 <Sever> hey hey\n18:09:31 * Vincent has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)\n18:09:38 * Mithran is now known as Vincent\n18:09:44 <Sever> (yep vince fell over)\n18:09:56 <Sever> ((lol))\n18:10:28 <Sonya> "Vincent, give me an order. Or else I will go down from the first likely exit and start shutting down tunnel access."\n18:11:07 <ToreadorVampire> Sonya> Oh, unlikely ... you're really going to need something specialist for that purpose\n18:11:26 <Vincent> "Ok, ok. We should go for the panel that makes them have to go around the long way first.
