Title: Talos drone!
Post by: DaveDaveDaave on <04-09-13/1609:58>
Hmmn anyone got a benchmark price for the Talos drone from Shadowrun Missions-Firestorm please? Granted in the Mish it was a field tested prototype but the team rigger needs new toys and the anthrodrone from Rigger 4 isn`t in Chummer yet.... ;D

Based on its quality, it should be worth more than probably around 300kny, as it's not quite as rad as the Otomo, but very close.

Based on it being a prototype I really don't know.

It's an alternate model of the Akiyama, actually.

You can't really buy it, but it is theoretically possible to 'obtain' it during that mission*. Just be aware you may have to fail at least part ofthe mission to do so.

I am fairly certain Bull isn't going to be allowing Rigger 4 in Missions, given it's the April Fools joke. But I could be wrong.

* - Funny story. My team did manage to bag the drone, but since the GM at that time merely described it as a dog sized drone that scrambled about on all fours, we thought it was just a particularly stealthy Doberman variant or the like. As I was the only rigger, it was given to my character. I scribbled "obtained Talos drone" on the log sheet and... promptly forgot about it. It was Gen Con, I was kinda distracted.

Cue more than two years real time later. I was auditing my paperwork, noticed my scribbled note, and was perplexed as the 'talos' drone didn't seem to be in any book. I started asking around and was a little in shock to find out it was an Akiyama varient.

I had just saved up for and spent over a quarter million on a custom Otomo variant drone, as anthroforms are that character's schtick. I had been making do with a gimpy modified Manservant up until then.

So, yeah, I kinda feel like an idiot.  :)
