I know it might look nicer, but it gets confusing for me if I have to use different color codes for my characters in each game :)

... that makes like, no sense whatsoever!I'm not done typing it up =P
L(A-F, 1-3, & G1) H(all others), got it, I'll just google what that means :p
In short: crappy neighborhood, probably 10 times more gangs and criminals than cops... if there's any cops in the first place.

Andromeda would have you covered...oh lord
I keep trying to soundtrack this scene for inspiration...but my taste in music has never gelled with SR
Hope there's no issues with posting the way the last one was, (filling out the world a bit and taking cues from previous posts)
Oh Kontact.... The troll... behind you....
Hopefully my in character posting style is not too confusing. To simulate his multithreading ability, I thought I would break down his individual threads of thought and post then individually, even though they happen siprately. I tried in my first post to write it out but it seemed jumbled and incoherent at times as I reread it. So I thought I would try this. If it is not easy to follow I will change it.
Thanks,red

Chrona, I'm not sure if you want to apply my cursed quality to assensing tests as well as tests involving the Magic attrib, but none of these rolls would be glitches even with the lowered threshold. The quality says it affects magical activity.

Kouryuu, it wasn't little joe that had the cig, it was Noise. Not someone who's been described as a little child I'd say, she is 26 after all.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm not using Johnson. Creepy Joe's become a work name for me, no I didn't pick it."Was that in response to Silk's inner thoughts? Mind readers would scare the hell out of her... (and it's a good thing she doesn't know which spell Still's got on him).

Forgot about the lie detection spell. When Silk said "I'm Silk, pleasure to meet you, sir.", I'm not sure that's a lie or not.
- She does see herself more as Silk than any other name or identity at this moment; "Silk" is closer to who she really is than her birth name; so it might very well be that that didn't register as a lie.
- "Pleasure to meet you" is a figure of speech more than something to take literally, so it's never meant as a lie; also, while meeting Creepy Joe isn't a pleasure, the prospect of getting a job through this meeting certainly is.
So... she's sending a lot of mixed signals your way :p

You don't have to play a runner with low morals but I don't like entrapping players per se. Offer me up a way or quality to keep your character in the game if you want to roleplay the true struggling with their morals and these jobs. Please don't resort to turning on the Johnson in the short term, by all means plan to topple him in the long run but don't suddenly swear bloody vengeance and disappear into the night unless you're leaving the game. If you're in the game I expect you to work towards the horrible goal each run.
Veilche sensor package has a signal rating of 5
Radar is rating 6
Pilot is 3
preception for my char is non existant
As i ask my Habu[ can stop to call my Zugmashine that if it angers you in any way] to do that i gues i will do the drone Sensor roll, can reroll any time if you disagree on my judgment
sensor roll 9d6.hits(5) → [3,5,2,5,4,2,4,5,2] = (3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3004865/)
Edit: while doing a drive by the front and possibly the side of th club
sorry that i forget to ad that prior IC post
Radar: Radar sensors are used to monitor activity on or
around installations, encampments, and battlefields. Radar
systems work by emitting radio and measuring the refl ection of
those waves as they bounce off both moving and fi xed objects
like people, animals, vehicles, terrain, weather formations, etc.
Radar systems are capable of detecting ground-level activity such
as walking or crawling, and they can determine range, altitude,
direction, and speed. Radar does not suff er Visibility modifi ers,
but may suff er dice pool modifi ers when used to detect objects
in cluttered terrain like urban settings or heavy foliage, due to the
“noise” generated by so many refl ected radio waves. Radar is also
vulnerable to jamming.

Could you all tell me who has their com on unhidden and what the ARO profile is?
Could you all tell me who has their com on unhidden and what the ARO profile is?
Arcane arresters only affects force based states like the damage of a combat spell so if hit by a force 4 manabolt you would resist 2dv instead of 4 the caster still gets to add hits to this however. The resistance of illusion spells like invisibility is based on the hits I make not the force of the spell so it is not a force based effect. Or at least that is how I interpreted the rule. Others may have a different opinion.

BTW, Chrona, I'd think that somebody already walking out would hurt the guy's position for negotiations, not help it.
QuoteBTW, Chrona, I'd think that somebody already walking out would hurt the guy's position for negotiations, not help it.
If he really doesn't care that he's coming across as a complete dick, he might see one guy walking out on his team as a weakness on our part; not being "united" against him.

Extending spell defense coverage on Silk in case it's needed for any weird reason.If you're counterspelling for her, and she would consider your detection spell unwelcome (not to say hostile), does she get a bonus against it? ;)

Summoning a watcher: watcher summoning (8d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3007797/)
Giving it 1 hour duration or service, resisting 1S drain: summoning drain, 1S (8d6.hits(5)=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3007800/)
I command the watcher to visibly manifest and hang out on my shoulder in my little hidey-hole. I then tell it to alert me if anyone attempts to touch my body.
Is anyone back in the alley with Still Waters? He's looking for a confirmation of someone helping to guard his meatbody while projecting, rather than leaving it up to spirits (no insult intended, oh great ancestors *pours out some libations to his allies*).Andromeda is on the roof, and her car is parked opposite side of th building, just not sure if her grumpy self will allow you in without some kind of insult flying around, but if you can take take it, just ask. ;D
Laugh, the guy outside of his body for full VR, watching over the guy outside of his body for astral... that's awesome.
Get in the car! :p
Andromeda is in her car. Not 100% sure where that is, not 100% sure what she's doing.Sorry not the case.
Habu. back to patrol mode.
Me running around with this gun on my shoulder would look funny. And my car is parked in shooting range at the moment,
She got into her Shin-Hyung and drives around the corner parks next to the fire exit from the 3rd building on the Dowd street, most likely a residential house, at least no visual signs of shops here.
I also lost track of Hank.
p.s. i know editing maps is a pain, but, just saying, it would help clear things up. ;)
@Xzy: Whats the range on your scanner and how much barrier rating can it get through
Chrona, should I edit the post in IC then?
@Chrona
I keep using wrong name for the scanner, sorry. It's the ulrawideband from Arsenal. So distance 15m, through 20 points of barrier. We should pretty much have walked around the block now.
Still Waters is going to astrally project and stealth as best he can to the nightclub. He will very carefully begin to press his face through the club wall to see inside, being as unobtrusive as possible and stopping immediately if they he comes up against a ward to not alert its creator.
^^^^ All a bunch of suck-ups!
You should smite them, almighty Chrona, by taking their karma and giving it to Silk!
How does a ward work against active detection spells? +5 dice to resistance tests by anyone inside it, but it doesn't alert the ward creator the way attacking or pressing through the ward would, right?
Not sure if it was asked before, can't find it anyway: Any scanners we found so far, or Silk can see now?
Theres a Sensor arch in the door, I/O found their system in the node, i'll need a command or sec level spoof roll to see if he can get them to show green.
just incase, what deadly and illegal items do silk and noise have on them, including any chem/stim/drug/toxins
Noise has her Steyr TMP on her. Restricted, and I coulda swore I had purchased a fake licence for it... but I don't see it on the sheet I gave you. Being that several other patrons had been armed I assume theres a 'coat and gun' check or something? That is assuming the archway goes off.
Check your PMS
They would drop off your subscriber list(?). For us to be using a direct-communication network (basically emulating tactical radio comms) rather than sending messages through our MSPs requires a subscribed connection, I think.
<com Channel= Team>I just lost noise and silk from the comm connection. the main room must be using wireless negation I can still see them on camera but their coms are not equipped to punch through to connect with us.

So just to confirm i lost video correct?yes
What're you firing?Regular rounds,
Shooting Through Barr iers
If a character wants to shoot through a barrier to hit a target behind it,
add the barrier’s Armor rating to whatever armor the target already possesses.
The attacker also suffers a –6 Blind Fire dice pool modifier because
he cannot see the intended target, unless the barrier is transparent.
If the weapon’s modified Damage Value does not exceed the barrier’s
Armor rating (modified by the weapon’s AP), then the weapon
is simply not strong enough to pierce the barrier, and the attack automatically
fails.
gun p7 ap-3
probably will get stuck in the wall, but could turn some heads before the team storms in, thou.
barrier rating walls was 15-20 depending on the material
or is it armour rating different?
We may want to give Kontact a chance to post, I'm sure Little Joe can add some to this.no worries just as a distraction in a coordinated fashion,

Is the eastern hallway longer than 22 meters from the delivery room?
are there any other guards in the hallway immediately obvious by ultrasound? like one patrolling the northern hallway or anything?
I needs my wallhack.

One critical success, one critical glitch... Will spend edge to undo the effects. Even for such a thing of minor importance, the thought of critical glitches combined with monowire... no thanks.
So that be Room 13 (top one) on the map right ?

You'll probably want to cover the north part of the eastern hallway. I'll start a havoc in the main room, and that might drive the target out. If he goes out and tries to leave by the southern exit, Andromeda can peg him in the face with a couple gel rounds from the sniper rifle. If he heads north, you intercept from the doorway. It's not likely he'll try the main room. There is a group of guys in that southern room though. Probably the hackers. It might be a good idea to clean that out at some point.
Chrona!
The doors, are they flush to the floor, or could one potentially slide an aerodynamic frisbee-style grenade underneath? Alternate question, do the interior doors seem sturdy?
Flush to the floor, they look weaker than the external doors
Means over my dead body
">:( Hope you Made a Bad Joke LJ, or you'll have to reserve me a place in the bunch too, but then again who will drive?"
I thought I remembered hearing something about a Zugmaschine...
As for 'ware: I thought Silk's UWB scans didn't show that much 'ware. But checking again, I'm thinking I missed a lot. Damned low-res map and forum maximum filesize. The guys Silk's at now, I thought they were "basic", but looking again, they have 'ware, right?
Gotta remember, all strangers here. ;)I know that's way I give you tips on how to get something done, or rolling at least,
Characters have known each other for roughly 5-10 minutes.
Cool. The door to the outside, does it have a push bar to open it?
Yeah you're alright turning it on. and those guards do have 'ware
Chrona: I'm guessing there isn't too much noise in the hallway because of the soundproofing. If there is, Silk's not turning on her White Noise generator. Everything suddenly going quiet will be a lot more noticeable instead of "stealthy".
Quoteinfil roll walking south 10d6.hits(5) → [3,1,6,1,1,1,6,3,3,4] = (2)
<<@Andromeda: Noted. What you driving anyway?>>
<<@Silk: Weren't you just arguing about how this job pays shit? No one is going to miss a bunch of terrorists. In the mean time, be careful, some of these guys are packed with enough gear to be problematic as well as profitable.>>
Joe moved down the hallway toward the dead man by the door. She retrieved her two daggers, shook the blood off them, and re-sheathed them. She then took out a pair of zip-ties and picked up the man's right leg. She threaded the leg up under the push-bar of the exit door, bent it at the knee and secured it with a zip tie, ankle to thigh. She then did the same with the other leg as well.
Oh, how do you seal off an exit? Pfff. Testing the door it would no longer open with the mass of the man's thighs in the way. Its like they've never killed a building full of people before.

If you can't clear the path, clog it up with corpses. 8)Ancient Chinese saying?
Looks like the Thrill Seeker quality has taken the choice out of my hands. :o
None of these guys are wearing gas masks are they?
Hank moves from the North door to the East Hallway, he opens the door to the second storage room (bottom 13 room) and take a quick look inside to make sure everything is fine. Then he remove his Hardliner Gloves, after all, he need the target alive. He stand there, ready to jump on whoever gets in the way.Bolded part for emphasis.
Poll: Should i leave in, in this universe, that my first character blew up half a country with 1 spirit?
Dunno if I'd send you there but sounds godTime will tell, if you feel like it you will, if not then not.
it happened in 2071
Anyone feel a need to rescue the survivors?
The only reason Silk would do that is to make it look like she's a nice person.
And 'cuz I'm so curious as to why Chrona put them in the game :p

-- What's the rules on Capsule rounds by the way? Do I need to aim avoiding armor (Roll Dice + Smartgun - <armor>), make at least 2 net hits like Darts, just hit like a normal shot?
-- Also, there's aiming for extra damage, is there an aiming for less or non-lethal damage? Any HR on that?
Capsules - Sounds good to me
In case of chemical seal, I wouldn't think avoiding the armor would(/should) be possible, the thing is completely sealed after all. They give immunity to toxins.unless you break through
I'm cool with the rest.
-2 from firing at a small target to drop their dice pools to basically nothing.
On my side, I've got 4 dice from good cover and 10 dice worth of gymnastic dodge to keep the first round of bullets at bay. After that, it's all hide and seek.
After the failed thillseeker you probably wont wait to see if you get spirit cover though-2 from firing at a small target to drop their dice pools to basically nothing.

Not sure about the -2, just for balance sake
and you wont have 4 dice of good cover once you're in the room.
failing thrill seeker sort of sealed the deal on going in there
Capsule rounds still do damage as gel rounds. (Stun)DV +2AP. Even if he's chem-proof, you can just plug him until he passes out from the stun.Yeah, I know, it's not the lack of subdual damage I'm worried about, it's that I don't want to kill him with overflow ;)
Just in case people are waiting on me, I was wait till someone gave me the go to kill the lights.Andromeda is patiently waiting on someone to shoot at. ;D
Andromeda ain't sending the car to the garage door you opened north, so we can throw the target in it and get the hell out of there?it's parked on the street already, just on the other corner, less then 1 Min away. parked it there to cut of his escape way, worst case scenario, if he manages to get into a car or something while blocking my fire for example armoured car.
and i think me staying put on the roof would do more then joining the assault, cutting their way off.
@ chrona
could you give me some clues how the map of the place looks in the way of streets, would it be possible to park Habu and the Sedan so that they could be moved to block their retreat way.
I mean a bit larger road map

A spirit would be very helpful in the front room. The gas won't take effect until the end of the 2nd CT. Basic idea is to dose everyone and then bug out while it kicks in. Having a giant water spirit thrashing through the room should help keep Joe from getting too much attention.
QuoteMetagame: Their stats kind of freaked me out too; the one LJ took down was augmented, he was marked with an X. The ones Silk & Noise took down didn't have any standard ware and still got 11 dice initiative, so that means 5 and 6 natural on Rea and Int... or betaware/bioware. Pretty high level opposition either way.
They might be Ex-Something Something =PQuoteJust to be sure: We're waiting to give others a chance to post while In-Game time has been frozen, right? Don't want LJ all of the sudden "losing his little patience"; this situation will be messed up enough already.
I'm waiting on something to happen, eventually the VIP might lose his patience.QuoteAlso: Chrona, almost at 1k posts, make it count!
I bet I don't >.<
What is the room north of VIP?
it's parked on the street already, just on the other corner, less then 1 Min away. parked it there to cut of his escape way, worst case scenario, if he manages to get into a car or something while blocking my fire for example armoured car.
NE corner, can reverse out in front on the E side road or speed to the W side road as well as get to the Back door in no time.
If you com her when you get him, the car will be waiting.

The club is its own block, for what I could get from the IC map... The backside of the club seems to have the same color as the sidewalk, so I figured the orange part to be parking lot or something... no? It's just an alley behind the club and then a building?
But what's the "plan" now?
I was first thinking:
3 seconds: VIP room 4 enemies: door opens, bang bang bang bang bang bang stun stun
6 seconds: VIP room now "safe": grab target, RUN!
9 seconds: East Hallway: running and dragging
+/-12 seconds: Room #13 with car parked in it: toss package in car, get in car, drive!
Above plan could've worked without the 10+ even knowing it had happened.
Changing that last step with "hold out for 50 seconds waiting for a car, while being assaulted by 10+ professionals with SMGs"... would prefer not doing that, which is why I was asking for Andromeda's car.
But it doesn't look like that plan's going to happen; so what do you guys want to do?
the final verdict on distances, speed, acceleration is in the hand of the GM, but I am confident that the Car can outrun Silk carrieing a guy on the shoulder any time. :P
'bout the car, sorry, my misunderstanding.
The posting volume on this game has gone down a lot.
Don't tell me dudes are gunshy suddenly?
I know how to cure that! ;D
"...Think I should ask them to open the door too? Knock on the door and 'Sir, there's a problem with Carl, sir.'" The last sentence was spoken with the voice of the guard she just killed with a shot through the heart.Wouldn't say exactly that, but you get the idea.
Thinking that for those lights, you might need to head for room #20.
Was about to post a countdown... then I wondered:
Are we sure the door to VIP isn't locked? Did IO check that? Or can that be seen? (like a locked door nowadays, from the side to which it opens, you can usually see the bolt that locks the door... and we are on that side of the door.)
Also, I'd suggest waiting with killing the light until the end of our surprise round (which we'll hopefully get, but I'm starting to doubt it).
(As far as we know without GM knowledge,) surprise round would start after opening the door, right? Or do we start the round with the door closed and need to spend an action opening it?
Yeah the target is the top right blue dot in VIP
thanks for the map Kontact!

Smiting's so stupid without knowing what it was for... and I warned you about that post!
@Red: Find hidden node, if I'm not mistaken, is an Elec. Warfare + Scan test, threshold 4...
Why the admin acount? If you get caught, they'll all be on full alert! Well, at least you'll have forced things to get moving. Of course if we can't get the VIP door open, we're in trouble...
And it didn't show up on the UWB scanners?
Still Waters casts a force 3 detect enemies to check the breathing box, anything else outside the ward, and possibly anything inside the ward who resists poorly (with the +5 from the ward I'm not expecting too much). If anything pops up as hostile, he's splotting out blips on the digital map to mark them.

Well, if it's a hostile 80kg devil rat slavering for your flesh we'll know momentarily. ;)
Hm, were we already standing at the VIP door, or still preparing at the door of bottom #13?
Looks like we're eady for the VIP room to be rushedReady to Hit any fleeing targets, if they really decide to run,
Keep in mind that if you shoot them, outside, there'll be about 15 civilians calling KE and selling the footage to the media a couple of seconds later.
I think all our actions are pretty simultaneous...
Redwulf: thought you were going to wait with the lights 'til after we're done?
There's an option to delay your actions, you don't -have- to go before us.
Also, what's in the VIP room after we open the door?
All the action was planned to start right after we opened that door; Noise, Hank & Silk can't do much without knowing what's there...
Out of curiosity, what time zones is everyone in?GMT +2
*facepalm*, yes, yes it is.
Sorry bout the lack of DV and all there Chrona, edited original
So the DJ got out of the box and is now standing in the doorway of the bottom #13 room?
So the DJ got out of the box and is now standing in the doorway of the bottom #13 room?yup
Oh, and because this is a countdown thing we know is coming, can Hank & Silk use their attribute boost power a second before the combat begins?
Having a critical success on a shot where you DON'T want to kill a target, if it kills him, that's not a success!oh dear *rolls*
Aaanyway, the guy has got 11S to resist (Body + Impact) and then a Toxin Resistance vs another 10S. I really hope he rolls as good as that first guard.
Just for everyone's knowledge, Noise's weapon is silenced also. So with the lights and music still going it's not like gunfire has been heard. :D
will add to IC after you post IC about your casing and it's failure.
Damn I want to kill thing ! Gotta start working on more initiative :D
Silk would reply, but I'm not sure if we're all acting on Initiative here, or if it doesn't matter anymore...
Andromeda's got plenty of actions to talk, Silk doesn't...
Just a quick note, unless I'm wrong and please correct me if I am, I should only act in the first pass as i did not go into VR until then.
dont vorry about itthis time
I don't use my phone to go online and don't drink =Pdont vorry about itthis time
Smartphone or alcohol the cause of that? :p
Meh First Aid can give him a couple of box, just enough so he can talk, not enough to do anything stupid. Medkit supplies are kinda cheap anyway :)
While waiting for Hank to reply Noise quickly goes through the VIP's pockets.Sorry, i missed this
To Noise being able to afford her habits? Surely! :DYou could always get the VIP to do a transfer to you or the Credstick.

thats a decent 1100th post*applause* I agree. Much better than your 1101th :p
Its the simple things that cause fear. Like 16F ammo.I am Starting on think about purchasing a Tank just in case we have to go on the offensive
Not so simple when there's a dozen of 'em flying your way.
Maybe should freeze the action now 'til Kontact posts? He hasn't acted yet; and would've been first...

Are we sure the J is no Dragon using a Human Persona? ???
Sorry about the holdup. Posting.
Are the lights out by this point?
Sorry for for how squiggly it is, text wouldn't workI was almost tempted to make that "smartphone or alcohol?" comment again ;)
QuoteSorry for for how squiggly it is, text wouldn't workI was almost tempted to make that "smartphone or alcohol?" comment again ;)
Note (again) the trap closest to the dancefloor isn't there.
Also, the grenade grid isn't correct anymore, not sure where LJ tossed his two grenades...
its resisted with body and its 2 to see through.
Physical Illusions: [...] are resisted by Intuition + Counterspelling (if any)
Also, VIP doesn't resist any damage? (I'm getting the impression that every little box might count :p)
No 3rd pass action?
I'll take a complex from the 2nd pass to use the Infiltration skill and all actions from the 3rd pass to text the team.
^ Great!
Do we get karma for that?

What rules on Cracked programs do you use?
What rules on Cracked programs do you use?
can you give me a page reference?
SOURCE CODE AND PIRACY core book page 228that would make sens to do it in char gen just forgot to ask now when i saw the the sensors on the sedan does not have th clearsight in them just asking
Most legally-purchased programs are sold with built-in copy protection, so that the program cannot easily be duplicated without an access code. Hackers have invented many ways of circumventing these methods, however, to the point where piracy is the rule rather than the exception.If a character wishes to duplicate a program that is copy-protected, he needs to break the protection. Th is requires an Extended
Soft ware + Logic Test with a threshold between 10 and 20 (gamemaster’s discretion) and an interval of 1 hour.
A clearsight auto soft i'd say
Rating 1 = threshold 10
Rating 2 = threshold 13
Rating 3 = threshold 16
Rating 4 = threshold 20
I think cracked programs degrade a rating per month though, due to not getting legitimate patching.someone check unwired for me while i go to bed Z_Z
Pirated Software Unwired page 109
Pirated software—i.e. programs whose copy-protection and
activation/validation anti-piracy mechanisms have been bypassed
through cracking—are usually distributed by warez sites (see
Piracy, p. 94). While pirated programs have the advantage of not
being linked to a registered SIN, they are not automatically updated
and patched in the same manner as legal software. Without
registration and the confirmation that the copy is legitimate and
licensed, the software is not authorized to connect to the manufacturer’s
update sites.
In game terms, illegal and pirated software—and also programs
that a character has coded himself (p. 118)—degrade over
time, reflecting that the program is slowly becoming outdated.
Hacking and malware programs degrade at the rate of 1 rating
point per month; all other programs degrade 1 rating point per
2 months.
To circumvent or prevent degradation of their utilities, hackers
have three options. First, skilled hackers with programming
resources can patch programs (see Patching, p. 118) on their own.
Second, those that have connections to warez sites can go looking
for an updated pirated copy. Third, daredevil hackers of course
always have the option of hacking the corporate patching nodes
directly to steal the patch for themselves and their contacts.
The other option is to allow multiple devices registered to the same user to use the same software.
Software belongs to X.
Device belongs to X.
Software will run on Device.
That does assume, in this case, that the software is compatable across multiple sensor packages. Not too big a leap.

so by this description it would mean that a bike pilot autosoft and a Car pilot autosoft are different, but clear-sight witch always does the same, analyses sensor data, would be working for multiple copies. right?
Walking to the northeast hallway junction to keep an eye on everyone and maintain spell defense. Delaying action.yup
I see no moving enemies, right? LJ just dropped the one guy that moved into the halls?
Actually just delaying to IP 2 and 3 if that's possible.
If not, she'll do something else.
Noise slips the Leader's Commlink into her palm and quickly sends a message to all his contacts, Leader's Comm: Calm the fuck down, everything's ok, and stop shooting at me! She hopes that this'll be enough to at least distract the rest of the guards. She steps past and shoves the chinese hacker into the wall on her way by, looking for what Hank tripped over. Comm: Any Doc Wagon signals heading out? This guy just got fucked over pretty hard.QuotePerception to see I/O 10d6.hits(5) → [4,5,1,4,6,1,2,4,2,6] = (3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3035162/)
Re: Initiative list in IC: Wait, so Silk can't take her actions into IP3?
Then let me use her actions in IP1 please.
Where is everyone? lolwe are waiting for something, someone
Chrona, do I need to roll for this? If so, tell me what modifiers I get.
Are we still in combat?
or can i write up a com answer to Silks Q?
Screw it, I'm breaking combat here.
Mwahahaha
Don't really see why most of our own team can't just walk out... just need to cross the street again after all.
Might want to drive around the block a couple of times to question/treat the target but most of the team doesn't need to be present for that.
The target won't be offering much resistance, being too close to death for comfort.
The DJ, IF we keep him with us, when bound and stuff should be pretty safe too. Disarmed and an armed escort walking with him, he'd know it's suicide trying to get away.
He's unarmed, no blades, guns or cyberweapons. Nearest is some wire clippers, etc, hardware hacker stuff
Did Still Waters assense the guy? Will look for it tomorrow; unless someone posts the answer sooner.
UW still can't detect him, he's like a tiny patch of jammingThis stinks trap, a fishy one, but still we can just ask him to stop jamming right?

Are any of the goons left not incapacitated? I'll roll combat if you like.They wont make it out the room, don't worry.
Hank pull the target in the car.
Alright I'll need some room here, gonna try to wake him up a bit.QuoteLogic 5 + First Aid 4 + Combat Wounds 2 + Improved Skill First Aid 2 + Medkit 6 = (19d6.hits(5)=7) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3038880/) Forgot to add the -1 from being "indoors", still last roll wasn't a hit so that is fine.
The target regains 5 Stun Damage
Hank knows he doesn't have much time but still stays very meticulous. When the Antitoxins will start to do the job, the target should wake up. With some luck, they'll already be on the other side of the street, cashing in and getting out of this run.
You'd need to heal the physical first wouldn't you? And shouldn't 7 hits = 7 boxes healed? Also In normal rules you can't heal stun anyway

You can choose which to heal AFIK.
There's a threshold of 2 on healing tests, so the first two hits count for naught.
As of SR4, you can first aid some stun.
Still Waters delayed action and was waiting for at least a combat turn or two before relaxing his guard in case something makes it through the gas. When we're in combat, I purposely don't post or talk IC unless I'm expressly taking free actions to say a few phrases. If we're dropping to non-combat, I'll post.
He has no sustained spells, FYI. He dropped them to be able to cast the mind probe on the hacker, which failed. Once we're non-comb he'll toss up a new Analyze Truth.
opposed test (4d6.hits(5)=0) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3039247/) 6 services, no glitch, no drain to resist. (Critical success? 8))
Uhm, probably too late for this, but why are you healing the stun damage? A simple stim patch can help with that, at least for a while. But at 8-9 boxes of P damage, that means even with the smallest accident, he's dead and we're screwed.
Going to wait for a moment, at least for Still Waters to do something. Assensing would help I guess; and he's still got the lie detection spell on him, wondering what that shows.
Habu is 1. huge and 2. technically 2 targets

"Now if you don't mind, you're very beautiful but very hard to please. I don't do bondage on the first date."
5, no 10, no 15, wow it keeps going up, notification after notification pop into Silk's view. You can't help smiling internally, your old problem kicking in. Then Hank turned to patch up the VIP while Noise and I/O were mid-toss. It was just a brief moment but he took the opening.QuoteAgi 9 + Unarmed (Disarm) 8 - Called Shot to disarm 4 + Mixed Martial Arts 3 (16d6.hits(5)=5) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3040079/)

I stress his use of a non-damaging technique.
Commlinks are all 3/3/3/3
It was hiding below ground level as per your last post so i have it attacking as it rises
EDIT - Just let me know whenever you want me to make rolls for the spirit. If you'd prefer doing it yourself and choosing when it uses edge, I'm cool with that. Every GM handles spirits a little differently, and I forgot to check with you before the game how you'd like to operate. :)
No initiative? We in combat? Or will this be resolved more with roleplaying than rollplaying?
I do like the message spam technique :)
(Just to be clear, if that guy damages her gun, he's dead.)
Edit: tell me if Silk's got a chance to speak... before his attack or after his attack...
Umm. Hmm.No problem.
Agi 4 + Unarmed 4 -- 6S(e) base dmg (8d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3040545/) 1 hit, and glitch.
Not sure if you think this is a touch-only attack, but I didn't add in any mods. Feel free to roll additional dice/subtract dice for whatever is appropriate.
(Hope I didn't hold anything up... had to get home from work.)
I do believe I want him dead. Yes I do...
Vindictive Composure test. 6d6.hits(5) → [4,1,5,2,1,4] = (1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3040692/) Almost a glitch, but didn't meet threshold. No more subdual attacks from Noise... unless she gets to play with him.
Get's +1 to edge per level of MBW no separate bonus afterwards,
and shouldn't he have had a -1 to second defence?
And for sure. I may not hunt him down (right this moment), but he's not gonna get away with this. Just a nice little side quest down the road.Get away with what? trying to live?
Do you need a roll for the car park? ???
Art and kontact are gonna be like "What. The. Frag."The Hank was outside just like me, most likly inside the car, as it started to move he might have just finished healing the VIP so he could not take part in getting beat up ;D

Thanks for the game guys, but unfortunately RL only allows me to have so many. I had fun, but I need to cut back and with running my own PBP and a game in RL I just don't think I have enough time to continue. Have fun.D= sad to see you go Red, Goodluck with your game
@Red: Sucks, was hoping to get to know the character better :(

Silk's cool enough to ignore that -and- her scratched gun.I never said it's scratched I just say it fell of the Hood while I was moving the Car out of the way, it could just need to be cleaned from the dirt on the ground. or not even that, it pretty hard to scratch metal :P

Noise was all for getting the hell out of there, this job was too messed up
Coulda used stronger language but figured my swear filter was already at a decent enough level. If Noise had been more hurt then taking the stun she had then there would have been a lot more expletives. :D
edit: and dammit, just burned my finger on the BBQ... Figured I'd share that for no particular reason.
Also, uhm, Art&Kouryuu, you got the car moving without giving anyone else the chance to enter (passenger and driver seats are empty) or for LJ to toss in the leader of the mercs in the trunk. I know that once the excitement starts it's pretty hard to move slowly, but if there's only one or two people online, try slowing down to give the rest a chance to act too. :(Yeah sorry about that, Art made a post about the Car being in movement so I did jump on the Wagon with that, could try to edit it back to the club if it's preferable?
(For example, Silk would have asked Hank to get out of the car the second the treatment was done and before the package woke up, for the reason mentioned above.)

Of course, the fact that an uncouth dwarf is trying to get information from a Humanis (politician=social skills) guy probably isn't helping much.

Still Waters did. Back when y'all were discussing how to leave no cybereye evidence, etc for KE he made a comment on comm that there were survivors of the initial assault in the freezers that would need to be considered in cleanup.
Not saved, considered. :P
Still Waters' body jerks to attention suddenly, breath intaking and eyes popping open. He begins to scramble to his feet.
subvoc - "We have problems, friends. I found a lot of people injured and dead in the freezers... they look like the real club employees and security. I have no clue who is in control inside, but you'd better not head in to the club, no? I'm going to try and get a lock on the target, but they have strong wards."
subvoc - "There are still survivors in the freezers, too. We need to factor them in to however we cover this."
You guys still looking for a hacker or 'mancer?
Hank gonna fix up the leader so y'all can question him? Or we gonna do that post-clinic?My vote is for now, so we know what happened, may be the Johnson set us up to be killed in action.
Heard you were looking for a hacker/techno. I have a couple years experiance playing shadowrun, but never done play by post before. What kind of character are you looking for?
Hmm, ok, one combat Hacker coming up. Ill slant the hacking towards cracking stuff on the fly, It seems to suit the style of play that you guys have. Btw, any combat niche that need filling? I usually go for unarmed with a hacker.

Whether it's relevant, I leave to your paranoia
Hum since LJ is already in the clinic should I fix the guy right now ? It can take quite a bit (IIRC it's 1 minute per box) so that would be at least around 10min. I kinda agree on the, we should have been KIA, so that might not be a good idea to leave the psychotic midget in the clinic :D

I kinda agree on the, we should have been KIA, so that might not be a good idea to leave the psychotic midget in the clinic :D
You all need to return to get paid

Technically, only one of us needs to return to get paid. But that one needs to bring the target.
Remember, in negotiation, it was switched to lump sum. LJ is crazy enough and potentially a good enough liar to convince the Johnson that she killed everyone, including the rest of the team so that she could collect the full reward..
Art, if you want to, Hank needs 3 hits on (Con or Negotiate) + Cha to realize that Silk wasn't too impressed... Damnit ;(
@Chrona: So, the shower is the thing you were forgetting? Or did you forgot to mention something like "There's a metal box standing in the hallway with a 'Danger, nuclear device' sticker on it and a timer counting down"?"
WHEWNice one!

Ha, awesome! BTW, even when he's not astrally perceiving SW's face paint is a combination of mundane and astral pigments so it shows up astral... the pattern pretty much says, "I'm a bad motherf'er member of the Nipissing chosen people who sees everything and is in tight with the spirit worlds." 8)
Going to send a text to Bloodclaw and see how quickly he can either hook me up directly with some summoning materials or a talismonger who can sell them to me, plus how much the service and materials will cost.
So, do we sell him now or do we still have questions to ask the guy in the trunk?

Yeah I know, but we have time to switch out bodies and interrogate him in the clinic or somewhere on the way, as long as we do it out of the eyes of the KESo, do we sell him now or do we still have questions to ask the guy in the trunk?

You'll be expected to sell him before you leave, KE will eventually arrive remember

i meant we do not need to race to the barrens right?
we can take us the time to get some info from the guard leader and then make our way to the drop spot.
Noise: "5 hits total on the armor means just the 2 additional hits worth of damage to soak. 2 stun taken."
That was in the PM's while she and Silk got into the fight with the first 2 guards... don't know Kontact even knows about that :p But yah, didn't get through the armor.
She offered a seat in general. If SW wants to claim it that's fine.he means the nuyen

You said earlier that the Italian mob was interested in Mike's Pawn, right? I figure the Irish mob would want to keep an eye on that, and since LJ is basically on loan from the Irish because of her debts to them, it would make sense to bring it up. Hoping she can warn him of the impending Italian maneuver and have him keep an eye out.

This chapter ends once you all leave the clinic, so after another string off IC posts. Then We will have "A Barren Interlude" this will be your visit to CJ's friend and your down, before chapter 2.Wasn't silk going to interrogate the lieutenant?

It doesn't have to be in the barrens but sticking around the clinic will get you caught in a KE drag netI think you misunderstood me, there is no need for all of us to stay in the clinic.
If anyone wants to stay in the clinic and interrogate the meatbag containing our 10% cut of valuable cybers, SW will happily hang on to their portion of the delivery payment as he takes the target to the Barrens asap. ;)Not happening.
If people start doing this IC we'll be awarding karma soon =D
Honestly that Rover of Hanks is the best vehicle for moving through the barrens. The Rover is pretty much an armored VIP transport. Not exactly subtle, but with 10 hardened armor standard, it'll shrug off small arms fire like nothing.True twice the Armour my Ride has at the moment.
If it's tied to his legit SIN though, that could be a problem.
Kouryuu as Andromeda - I do not believe in nominating myself, See no possibility to bound more then I am. ;D

Ten-Hex as Still Waters:Who needs Coms i have spiritst - For the best used spirit service, message delivery +1
Artighur as Hank: The strongest Dwarf around and gullible too. A good medic thou - For the Clone Transport +2
Just FYI, if anyone ever asks why Silk took that shot, she'll deny what happened there.
After the 2 others left and he was no longer outnumbered, the guard tried to reach for his gun -be it to shoot the window to raise an alarm or to shoot her, who knows- so she had to take the shot to prevent worse. In a "might be heard" vs. "will get me killed and/or will definitely be heard" choice, she took the first; she's professional and quick to decide like that.
(The only one who could possibly know different would be I/O, IF his drone was there and happened to be watching in the guard's direction at that precise moment.)

Silk: I liked the exchange between Silk and the Delta-Grade-Cyberninja/Hacker+2
Noise: Nice comeback to Ladies first, I liked it :P+1
Little Joe: Beermegeddon, need I say more ?+3
Still Waters: Linguasoft bugging !+2
Andromeda: For being in pretty much the best position of any of us the entire time, and for Habu fetish.+2
Silk: For possibly being the meanest of the group barring the serial killer gnome, but still having everyone like her.+1
Noise: For a good balance of tough and ladylike, and for reminding me of a Ukranian friend. Extra bonus points for mocking the shaman's cheesiness.+2
LJ: For everything, but in particular for bathing in their blood.+1
Still Waters: For being a magician with only detection spells and no combat skills. :P (If I have to point out something good that he did, let's go with locking a detect individual spell onto a target through a force 5 ward. And cheesy poses.)+2
Hank:Taking Silk's fake compliments with wonderful naivete, and for spending edge to carry someone just out of the dwarf's sense of pride.+1
Andromeda: Got on the roof with a sniper rifle ready and a drone en-route mapping the building before anyone else even had a chance to get out of the clinic!+1
Silk: She's a really nice person and deserves quintuple karma. -A Billion.... I kid =P
Noise: The way she acted when alone with Silk... from the acting to starting the shooting, it was fun. The Russian did a lot to add to Silk's credibility to con the guards, good thinking! (Also, damned great pic!)+2
Little Joe: Scary, scary little girl... Picture's awesome. Coolest moment was pretending to be the Johnson... Good thing Silk wasn't there to witness it. The very descriptive way of finishing off the guards while feeling the life slip out of them was pretty vicious too. (Man, our characters are so going to have problems with each other.)+2
Still Waters: Gets point for constantly being in a bad mood and for very descriptive spellcasting. Putting spells together out of bird crap is so much cooler than just "I cast this or that spell."... Then loses 294 karma for calling Silk a skank.+3
Hank: Had a lot of fun reading about that dwarf and his ego :) It's not a specific moment, just the whole thing... from immediately feeling personally mocked by the add at the clinic to the way he struggled to carry the target but still hopes to be impress... I laughed a lot really. Also just might be the only trustworthy character in the group. Or is the best actor of all of them.+2
Andromeda:Habu fetish."Habu, sweet Habu."
Andromeda: agreed with the Habu fetish. Also kinda felt bad for Romy having to be out in the rain all run.+1 for not being a mad sniper
Silk: excellent descriptions, I think the girls played well off each other for not really knowing what the other could do. Noise was genuinely impressed at the use of com Manding voice +1 for "dont move" in a gunfight
Noise: for a Sammy/gillette to go on a run with only a machine pistol, I think she performed pretty well.
Little Joe: scared me... The player. Nuff said.
Still Waters: ego-centric, everything that Noise dislikes about men... This could get interesting for RP
Hank: invisible castle hates him. Laughed for the poor guy when he lost control of the VIP+1 for humour
Andromeda: I love how she's slowly getting corrupted into mass body-jacking. Also the fact that none of the characters know what Habu is supposed to be.+1
Silk: Not afraid to swing that leadership around even when she's outside her comfort zone. Managed to convince LJ that having fall-guys is worth leaving loose ends.+1
Noise: Cold slashing dudes with a combat knife, all personal-like. Most folks would have fell back on their guns, but not Noise.+1
Little Joe: So professional!
Still Waters: Communing with the spirits. Gotta love when spirits are treated more like contacts than weapons.+1
Hank: Toughing it out Dwarf-style. I enjoy how his sort of naivete keeps him in the moment, trying to prove himself, rather than thinking about things like the fact that he's working for organ-leggers.+1
Oh man, you guys are all posting machines! I can't keep up!

Attributes and specs are fair game as Kontact says. There'll be week or two downtime after the barrens for skillsOK take them and if I may infiltration as well
Anyone without dodge 1 or perception 1 can buy it now
You'll need downtime for infiltration.
OK take them and if I may infiltration as well
How much is level one in fair game rules, the same as in Karma gen or different?
We get a new OOC or stay on this one?You can heal, same OOC and sorry for skiping ahead, feel free to IC or PM(with me included) anything said in the drive
Was the drive more than 1 hour? If so, was sitting in the passenger seat relaxed enough to heal Silk's last remaining stun damage? (She still takes 1S when the drugs wear off, so she's either got 1S or 2S.)
Oh, Grim... don't know how to add this in the IC since we're there already, but in the car, Silk's kind of curious to find out why Noise didn't want to have her leg treated in the clinic.
Oh, anything on the news about the club yet? Silk's certainly looking for it.None yet

All karma expenditures for magical improvements require downtime, right?
I'm planning on SW spending 13 karma to become a grade 1 initiate with the psychometry metamagic. Since you're doing attrib*3, I'll probably save the rest to go eventually towards magic 5.
If that needs to wait until after the Barrens run, that's fine by me.
;D My first smiting
Oh well it had to happen eventually.
But I really would like to know why, not so much who, as just why so i might adjust learn from my mistakes.
So guys if you see something that bothers you, just say it straight, Critic is a way to betterment, at least for me.
Lol it's totally me I was browsing and hit Back on my browser then realized I wanted to follow a link on it, so I quickly clicked on the link but Touchpad was too slow and the other page was up, unfortunately I clicked Smite by accident on you ! It really could have been anybody ! Sorry :'(
@Chrona
While I still remember it, you could give us the detail on the Uzi LJ took of the Guards, we will most likely sell them of eventually, but I wanted to remind you that they are still around
or some might take one for personal use, who knows.
or must I inspect them first?
You'd need to inspect them but I'll tell you they are 14 smartlinked Uzi IVs and 2 Ares Pred IV's from anniversary, 10 have full clips as do the preds (reg. ammo). 2 have fired 6 rounds each, one is empty, 1 has APDS but is missing 3 rounds.
There were 28 full spare Uzi clips (reg. ammo.)

Anyone who gets 3 hits on Visual perception -6 can notice concealed hatches in every corridor, Log(3) or Hardware/Viable weapons knowledge(2) will recognise them as concealed turrets.maybe I am a bit too tiered, but how does it work, you tell us it already even if we did not roll, or do our old rolls stand and for example Andromeda sees it? as she already rolled hardware and preception?
Int 4, Skill 3, Aug 3, NegQ -1 (9d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3062276/)You, Andromeda and SW found the trap door at least then
That was the normal perception; not even going to try getting the turret hits, can't make the perception and wouldn't be able to recognize them for what they are anyways.
But a place like this in a neighborhood like this? Don't have to be a genius to figure out that this either means the place is worthless (which it obviously isn't) or very well secured.

It boggles my mind (in a good way?) trying to imagine just how Little Joe was carrying the body around.
Gamma-Scopolamine
Vector: Injection
Speed: Immediate
Penetration: 0
Power: 8
Effect: Paralysis, Truth Serum (see Description).
This neuromuscular blocking agent renders a target unable to
move. It is derived from the natural toxin found in Atropa Belladonna,
commonly known as nightshade. Gamma-scopolamine takes effect
immediately, causing dizziness, dilation of the pupils, speech loss, de-
lirium, and paralysis. The full effects last for one hour. After the hour
has passed, the residue remaining in the body acts as a “truth serum”
for an additional hour. Reduce the target’s Willpower by 3 (to a mini-
mum of 1) for the duration of the chemical’s effect
Gamma-Scopolamine 14F 200¥
"Good point about this... so that mean Noise and Andromeda will do the talking I guess"

Silk's a 20-something-year-old caucasian human, I swear!
"Good point about this... so that mean Noise and Andromeda will do the talking I guess"Last I checked my sheet Andromeda was an Ork, going to do again ...
She thought an adult looking like a 3y/o would understand and dislike prejudice a bit more.... But LJ might be even more messed up because of it than she is.
Been busy in RL. Not much to do posting, so do not fear my absence.
Will be back in a few days.
"This will take a while to work... can you do anything to counter the paralysis and the slab?"That was meant for Hank & Chrona both; would Hank have a way of speeding things up? Otherwise we have at least another hour for smalltalk.
Oh, Art: Unarmed combat defense is Reaction + Unarmed, not only reaction... Pretty good chance the subdue attack missed with 7 extra dice.
No books at hand... but dwarf vs orc ghoul, isn't there a reach difference, or is that only for trolls?

Okay, thanks for letting us know
Not that it really matters that much, She&I pretty much were expecting him to have been listening in anyways, but are you quite sure he can overhear Silk's whispers?
Even if a normal person's subvocal could've been heard, Silk's a lot bit better at whispering. (She could, for example, whisper to someone behind him without the sound even passing by him...)
Ghouls do have Enhanced Hearing...I know, wouldn't have argued with him hearing normal whispering/subvocal... but I figured Voice Control would pretty much give "Enhanced Whispering" or something the like :p
So, does this mean I get to play around with the idea of using missile mastery with shotgun spread rules? :D :D

Chrona was forced to stay on the defensive, he ran out of ring and the blow just landed.
Hank saw Chrona run of the ring, he had assumed he wanted a pause,....I -think- he didn't run out of the ring.
Low-Light Vision: This accessory allows the user to see normally
in light levels as low as starlight.
*shrug* Seemed misplaced to ask, if she's too shy to open the door, Silk won't force her, not without a reason. I tried hinting, but apparently I suck :p
Considering the location we're in, I don't suppose it'll be hard to find those stainless steel tables you find in every lab and clinic?
Full Parry: Characters who go on full parry roll (melee combat
skill x 2) + Reaction against any and all melee attacks made against
them. Full parry may not be used against ranged attacks.
I almost expected, "Welcome back, Still Waters is dead! (roll up a new character)." :P
Chrona seems to enjoy the fight. :Dwas ooc
Prone in melee gives the attacker a +3 to attack and the defender a -2 to defend... it doesn't mean the defender can't dodge; just a lot easier to hit.

Trauma Surgery
<snip> ...Trauma surgery can also be
used to inflict surgical wounds without killing the patient, for the

Unless he thinks you wouldn't know where it is
Just to be clear, Silk isn't the least bit worried about the place on short term. She's confident the merc's speaking the truth, so checking it out should be safe as far as she's concerned. Going there for an hour to see what's there to find isn't a problem.Habu - I need nothing more for a base.
Only long-term she doesn't consider it safe because Ragley knows about it.
(Metagame @ Chrona: Sorry if this ruins a "gift secure safe house" or something because you overlooked that :p Our loss I suppose.)

Logic + hardware (4) for damage assessment and logic + mechanic (3) for choosing parts and it'd be a Repair test with Industrial Mechanic (16) Interval 30 minutes or Automotive Mechnic (18) Interval 1 Hour.
Its a big job
They aren't, its very old tech, failure ill only hinder the extended tests. The thesholds re for a perfect rebuildyeah looked like beyond repair thresholds to me.
Software is all right, It's the motor servos that are shot, as well as it's visual sensors, you can't quite think of at retro pieces you'd need to fix it so you make a list of newer pieces that should be compatible.
(increases threshold to 18, 6 hits so far, 12 left)
You've done what you can without parts for now.

Comms: "What do you mean, 'There are three of them still alive'? We took down 5 in the hallway then 3 more in the VIP room, the rest was knocked out cold, that's a lot more than three."
Who's Tosh?
Cha 7, Skill 3, Kin 3, Pher 3, Gun 2 (18d6.hits(5)=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3110388/) Tell me or suffer!
... would have rolled better with that glamour coat!
Comms: "What do you mean, 'There are three of them still alive'? We took down 5 in the hallway then 3 more in the VIP room, the rest was knocked out cold, that's a lot more than three."
Oh snap.
Now Silk knows why Tosh was so pissed
Or, apparently she now knows how to hear through walls since she left the room and made no indication that she had gone back inside.
Kinda late to insert that... we'd have known about it and a lot of stuff could've/would've gone differently.
Your call though.
He took out a brick of a 'link from his pocket and touch typed some numbers. "Call it street value for any more doses, 200 nuyen a shot."
"Can't say I know myself anything that might help, I'm just good at making it."
"Lets drag him to that room I mentioned."
The room looks like an "interview" room from an old cop flat trid, even with a magic mirror for onlookers and some comm controls.
Uhm, sorry Kontact, but LJ didn't even close the door behind her far as I know, and I thought we're all (but Andromeda) next room.
Silk took a step outside to tell you what she learned so far and see if you had more questions. Afaik, she didn't need to walk half an hour to do so.
I'll remove the post, don't want to start an argument about it... though I'm not sure Silk would've really been fine with LJ being alone with the guy with the doors closed when she might still have questions for him. Might've tried to listen in but *shrug* too late now.
Clowns scare the crap out of me!
But a circus mage... finally I understand where those brightly colored hanky's keep coming from!
Welcome to the boards and the game :)
On a side note, I'm leaving for 5 days of vacation.
ok, PM on its way. Hanks will be even more outnumbered , but I doubt he'll mind. ;D 8)

Laughing. So. Hard.
Might not have done much, but I got no problem offering Space/Kitten a share of the 7K delivery.
What do I have to roll to find out, what devices/nodes I see in the building? Another scan?
If so: 7 hits for another scan (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3117042/)
Silk told Space that there are two drones. Does this helps Space to identify these unknown nodes?
If these nodes are the drones: Does Space have to hack into them too and use the code to deactivate them?
"so everybody ready ready to go to the Safe-House?"
You are going back to Boyle's
You are going back to Boyle's
k, will edit in "IC"
Andromeda is going to the safe house :P
maybe sedan will not, but she will not.

Probably too late
I'm still reading the IC story, but can you spoiler a little bit: This safe house, does it belong to the team or not?
Okay, maybe its a SR term or an english word with another meaning I don't know yet, but what is a figurehead? I only know it as the wooden figure infront of old sailing vessel.as a figurehead i meant the person who hired the ex-LoneStar team to ambush us in the club.
BTW: Give Space the comand and he can try this self-destruction in the building node. ;D
Okay, maybe its a SR term or an english word with another meaning I don't know yet, but what is a figurehead? I only know it as the wooden figure infront of old sailing vessel.
In politics, a figurehead is a person who holds an important title or office yet executes little actual power, most commonly limited by convention rather than law.
<snip some stuff>
The word can also have more sinister overtones, and refer to a powerless leader who should be exercising full authority, yet is actually being controlled by a more powerful figure behind the throne.
I'll ask here as I don't know where I can find it, but what's Habu. I've seen it a couple of times in the IC topic and I assume it's a car of some sorts, but what does it look like exactly? I assume that if I'm in the car with Andromeda and the rest, I will see it when she switches.
Also if Hank joins Andromeda, does that mean Little Joe and Kitten have to go on on their own to drop the body. You guys trust a new arrival to go along like that (especially since Kitten doesn't know much about the job and any particularities negotiated with Mr. J)?
Rommy will be traveling with the rest of us bodily while she rigs her way over to the safehouse in her other vehicle. I think.
Sure, no problem. But then Hank can't join her, can he?
Sorry for all the questions, but stepping in in the middle of a run is confusing at times, especially in PbP.
As Habu has the best autopilot, I would rig the sedan. And Hank will be the first to use Habu, but you all will get the info dump on the big fellow.Sure, no problem. But then Hank can't join her, can he?
Sorry for all the questions, but stepping in in the middle of a run is confusing at times, especially in PbP.
Actually, reading it now, it looks like a full vehicle switch. Seems the plan is to drive to the other car, switch to it and send the sedan on autopilot.
As Habu has the best autopilot, I would rig the sedan. And Hank will be the first to use Habu, but you all will get the info dump on the big fellow.
And Kitten should have a fun trip with LJ/AD.
Not sure you know what you are talking about, neither would i saying LJ could take you, just a match could prove one of us right,As Habu has the best autopilot, I would rig the sedan. And Hank will be the first to use Habu, but you all will get the info dump on the big fellow.
And Kitten should have a fun trip with LJ/AD.
Then LJ and Kitten will also see the big truck (cool thing to have though). So it depends whether Hank will go with you or not. And if someone annoys Kitten too much, there's always stunbolt (an overpowered spell if I ever saw one).
This is getting unneededly complicated and not advancing while the safe house bit is.looks like he goes with me. extra storeaway space and hands to load. And if there are problems with the Sedan i am a better prepared rigging from habu.
Angela, Andromeda, Hank and Kitten are either going to Doctor Boyle's together
OR
Angela and Kitten go to Doctor Boyle's Clinic while Andromeda and Hank go to the safe house. (taking this option will make both sides late while you switch vehicles).
Really the decision is Artighur's

She nods towards the nearby building. "Test? No not really. I am not a fan of death and I'd rather the security be down before entering. As for what we're doing here. This 'safehouse' belonged to some 'friends' of ours. We need to check up on it and remove any valuables that got left behind as our 'friends' won't be back to get their stuff personally. Oh, and our 'friends' might have other people checking on the house also so we should be quick about our business."
cool, a camper. ;Don the second floor it is ;D
We need to move my clinic in Habu, that would be like totally awesome !a Valkyrie unit was one of the things I had to cut to be bellow the cash limit, so yeah when i have the Nuyen there will be a clinic there as well
cool, a camper. ;Don the second floor it is ;D
but the first one is so technological that Kittens stomach might hurt pretty badly. :P
ecool, a camper. ;Don the second floor it is ;D

It's not because she's a mage she's uncomfortable around technology. She might not be good with most of it, but she does now the basics (like keep an analyse running at all times on the commlink, use improved invisibility because then the cameras also don't see you,...).
i was just saying that Kitten might dislike my tech home, not that it would defiantly make her sick or uncomfortable, just assuming the stereotype of mage who dislikes tech, no stim healing and stuff, but as i have not seen how you play her cant be sure.ecool, a camper. ;Don the second floor it is ;D

As I was think about matrix icon, do they have any influence (w.r.t. dice pool modifier) on the behavior of other matrix users? E.g. with the right Icon, its unlikely that an IC or SecHacker will notice you and check your AccessID, i.e. +1 for Stealth.
did not get this.

at the point we are leaving or when i return as a VR entity?
Habu or Sedan - witch group should do so?
?????
do we have the com from kitten, what do you say, would kitten give the number yet?
as for now i am acting like i do not have it, but we can just assume it happened in the car in the barrens or somthing cuz i can not call or message her
@Chrona can i use the cars stereo to talk to them? if not then i will delete the post i am about to make.
not sure what the standard equipment in 2070 is for cars, but the sedan is pretty standard, just a few modifications, nothing if you compare to Habu.do we have the com from kitten, what do you say, would kitten give the number yet?

I've said it to LJ who's still in the car with me, as a reaction to the stopping of the car. If you have installed microphones in the car, you can hear it as well. Given that you're steering it remotely, I assume you have access to all it's sensors, including inside cameras and microphones.

p.s. did not make the post in the end as there where to many if's.
Interior cameras are a mod (Arsenal p138) and I assume they come with sound as well.i know, Habu has some, but is there a mic in standard, as now cars come with sound system in standard, gps standard and many other things, in 2070 will hands-free system standard as well?

Think I read most of what's been going on, but lost at some parts:
- Group(s):
Space, Noise, Silk -> Safe House
All the rest is... together, or also two groups? If so, where? At CJ's? On their way to the safe house? (Silk hadn't shared the address yet, but she will send it when asked/if she knows she's got plenty of time ahead of the rest) LJ, Kitten -> pulled over by KE on the way to Dr. Boyle's Clinic.
Andromeda, Hank -> On the way to you if you give them the address
What just happened at the safe house that caused them to be fired at? Did the codes not work? Was there security Ron hadn't mentioned? (Really did think Silk had pulled everything out of him...) IC will cover this
And well... anything else I'm missing? don't think so

I just have to roll my SIN rating and nothing else, right?

Yes, I suggest using edge
BTW: what's the result of my assensing rolls?
So there's no magical support for those two clowns?No magic support
And two other questions:
-are they alone, or are there other patrols nearby?
-what's the normal bribe for guys like this to let it pass?
Isn't the scanner supposed to run an opposed test against Kitten's SIN rating?
Places the onus on the scanner rolling the dice and not the SIN rating itself.
ie SIN rating 3
Scanner Rating 6
Scanner rolls 6 dice and needs to hit threshold of 3 to bust the SIN.
If I'm wrong on that, then my PC's at weekend table top games are getting away too easily.
Using a Forged ID
Whenever a character uses her fake identity to pass an ID check
(whether for buying a dress or crossing a border), she must make an
Opposed Test pitting her fake ID’s rating against the rating of the
verification system. The side achieving the most successes wins. If both
sides achieve the same number of successes, the verifying system instructs
the operator to further “interrogate” the individual offering the
ID. The operator’s display screen will then flash a series of questions
based on the bearer’s history that the bearer must answer correctly. If
the individual using that ID answers any question incorrectly, the verifier
rejects the ID.
Noise moves out of the house, leaving the searching to the others as she heads back to the car to nurse her wounds. She really hopped the Tinnies wouldn't should up as she only had room for one, and she didn't trust this hacker well enough to leave him behind. She dug another pack of cigarettes from the glovebox, lit it, and activated the auto-injector in her armour. As the waves of pleasure from the drug washed over her, she started to unwind,

No actual game effects.
Well, that's 4K completely wasted. :( Next time I won't buy anymore high rating fake SINs if they're busted that quickly.
Let's try some out of the box thinking. I assume that false negatives will show up from time to time. No software is perfect.
FYI: the part in Chicago is actually true.
Yea the SIN burning is quite harsh by RAW, I prefer the Scanner Rating x2 (Fake SIN/Liscence Rating) myself but anyway :)
But yea, false positives happens probably all the time, it should be possible to talk your way out of this.
Space finds some wiring leading into the walls as he investigates the self destruct.
I assume it's an unusually wiring, since everything is wireless these days. Can Space savely disconnect the wiring, using demolishen skills or does he have to find the other end the the wires?

Oh, and about those guns...

Are they still in Andromeda's trunk?

They're in Habu's armory at last check..
The weapons are in Habu's Armoury. :-\Actually i think he did use a tag eraser but no one els knows
@LJ >:( for not checking them out for tracking.
In other words, in the worst case Space starts his search for those guns and will end up using his time for nothing or some uncomfortable questions for Habu's owner.Andromeda and LJ never hid that they are taking the guns, and there are really no definite plan what to do with them so they are just sitting in the armoury and waiting for me to inspect them remove tracking chip. a skill in weapon maintenance.
Joe sat up on the barrel, still clad only in the chameleon suit.
"Hmm.. no plans really. I don't use guns and I don't have anyone who could sell them for me. I just didn't like the idea of leaving stray arms around. I value the certainty of having them in my possession rather than the uncertainty of leaving them on the ground. I like the fact that, once I've taken a gun, it can no longer be used to shoot me."
Actually i think he did use a tag eraser but no one els knows
We will see when Habu arrives at the safehouse. BTW: when will that be, Chrona?
As i assumed she had it so she started to drive there after leaving the sedan, any other way it would make no sense at all, still it would make even less sense to ask now when the Sedan had driven the whole distance with a stop in the coffin motel and stopped by KE, only then remembering that she has no directions to go to would make her an downright brain-dead, who has to remember to breath in and out regularly.We will see when Habu arrives at the safehouse. BTW: when will that be, Chrona?

Andromeda Chuckled, she had expected Noise to jump to this opportunity, Silk's answer came out of the blue, hope Noise does not mind, or at least the could negotiate the terms between them.I'm sure Silk doesn't mind giving up her bath for Noise.... or sharing it ;)
I don't know, but are there any merc's left who can come to the safe house and make trouble?
Ragley and his manservant know the place. After they die, it should be a clean place to stash stuff.

If you take it into habu you can get the full facility bonus +6Yes you could get a shop (+4) bonusdo I get some bonuses from shop on the turret? ???
can i get the turret working and change the gun?
I think we're in control of the Doberman drones, no? They could probably drag the turret to the truck and then stay behind to guard the house. Yup
Has Space made sure our team has admin and noone else does? Also, LJ said over comms that he's got the guns we need filtered out, even more work for the new hacker ;) He's deleted other admins, he's currently the only one.
Waiting with Silk's IC for Noise to act, don't want to spam.

We still need to finish the part in the hospital, get back to the rest of the team and divide the 25K Silk found.Approximately the same now. may be some 5 min difference but i would say the same.
I must say it was a bit confusing (and still is, as I'm not sure about the timelines between the two groups), but that's probably because I dropped in in the middle of the run.

How large is the drone, body 1 would mean small right?It's body 2 so yes
from 0 to 1 was micro to small right so Andromeda should be able to carry it with ease
right?
As we reach the conclusion of chapter 1.5 I ask, as I did before, How are you guys finding it? Thee was a lot of stalling and time filling with sorting out the team but we should be good from now on.

And how much does this thing cost? So I can get myself one in our next tabletop game.
The drone looks newly upgraded, it's also superficially scratched almost everywhere. It look similar to nanoforge toolmarks.so that means I cant even scavenge it for parts?
After further inspection Andromeda realises this drone wasn't multiple parts.. there's no sign of joints, welding or seams, apart from what Silk's bullet did to it, it was one solid object. Even the gun attached to it isn't mounted, it is a part of the chassis.
This is brilliant... No, Impossible engineering, even by nanites.
Unfortunately it makes the damage irreparable.
correct =(
so that means I cant even scavenge it for parts?
i am OK with that, such things happen, once a battery leaked in my phone and the acid destroyed the whole thing so it happens even in real life.correct =(
so that means I cant even scavenge it for parts?
At least we have some drones now.
This would also be the answer to Space last post. So far he assumes that the either keep the house or blow it up.At least we have some drones now.
so what exactly was brought in Habu, are the drones left as guards or coming with us?
It's downtime after this
As we reach the conclusion of chapter 1.5 I ask, as I did before, How are you guys finding it? Thee was a lot of stalling and time filling with sorting out the team but we should be good from now on.It was interesting, although I didn't run so much so far.
So the nexus is somewhere inside the wall, or is it also in the lower bedroom? If latter: Maybe take the nexus with them and integrate it into Habu or something like that.In case they want to save the safe house, Space starts some data search while he sits down on the coach. Search parameter: 'How to disarm a bomb inside a wall, only connected by a commlink of the type [X]'.
What is [X] by the way?
The nexus is connected to the wires, the commlink is just a disposable link Ragland left
VR footage yes, gun tracking later

How long would it take to go through the footage?
Spy Games p175 (the "sidebar" is right below it)
I'm currently waiting for Kontakt to do something at the hospital. In case I have to drop the improved invisibility, let me know.

I thought we were beginning the next run... that's the only reason I went to see Joe (also the reason for the 500 nuyen worth of nanopaste disguise that the dumb troll receptionist saw right through.) Salt is hardly worth the time.
Sorry for the two time steps at ones:@Larzarus
Talk to Andromeda -> Talk to Hank -> VR footage
I can , if necessary, add some response to the first two parts, but I thought that since Space is the only one who wants to check the footage and since it seems that i'ts the last part of this intermezzo, I jump right to it. So we don't need to wait so long later.
Sorry Kontact, I thought I'd made downtime being next clearTBH, Chrona, I expected the drop of the body and the payment for the 'ware to happen now, but that CJ wouldn't be talking about a new job yet. (To first examine the info and events from the past day and possibly await instructions himself)
Well yes the 'ware payment will be nowas for the time waiting on LJ and the footage, checking the Drones would need witch mechanical knowledge?

@LarzarusSpace has Electronics and Cracking skills, but no driving or firearms skills to actuall use them by himself.
no prob. you did not force us to do anything so that is OK.
You have some skills in drones?

@team: "What the #@*!, that's some seriously messed up drek! Space, don't send that kind of thing to people without giving a loud and clear heads up man! People, if you haven't watched that second set of frames from Space yet, don't watch it if you have eaten or plan to eat anywhere within 24 hours!"Actually, I can't see where Space send the decode flash frames. I was planning to let Space give everybody a warning, who actually ask for them or the VR footage.
?? Sorry, you lost me. Who sees what now?Space has send everybody the flash frames (only the decoded frames and not the full footage)
Does Kitten have to make a composure test, seeing she's been in combat in such lovely tourist places like Yucatan, Lagos and Chicago? So she's bound to have seen bodies in severe state of decomposing or being used as spirit hosts or a lot of other things before.
Although i IC ignored the footage, if you need a roll from me, you make it, as i lost my net, and rolling from a phone is a major pain.Does Kitten have to make a composure test, seeing she's been in combat in such lovely tourist places like Yucatan, Lagos and Chicago?

You still have to roll
@team: "What's the purpose of this? It's editted, right? But why? Some kind of message? Who's it for and how were they expected to find it? And probably more important, who the hell put it there?"@Chrona: Space worked on the frames for some time, did he recognize any hint, that the frames where edit?

3 hits: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3128094/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3128094/)It doesn't seem edited but it could be really good editing
It doesn't seem edited but it could be really good editingI would say it is edited, remember the ninja-hacker. i doubt Salt is a clone, that just would make no sense to clone a whole bunch of low level mercs, himself on the other hand it would. so me thinking thats a real good quality edit, to hide some footage.
the turret replacement wasn't fake, which btw indicates that those guys have much money (to secure a safe house)you could or not, that depends on the general thought, as for me i doubt the turret was from the mercs, just does not fit in the frame of their equipment weapon's and other drones, even the pay is average at best couple k per head. and the safe house - thats no big deal, as you can see, we came we cleaned and we can have it if we are sure our enemies are not aware of it.
I don't know how many Edge will be refreshed by the downtime, but if someone really wants that Space reroll with edge. You have to tell him in a IC post....
1000 for the body intact + 14,120 for his ware intact
Also, it was set to engage anyone on sight that wasn't one of the mercs. Which means Silk's original assumption that Ragley had set the drone to kill Ron Salt was wrong. Possibly it's the other way around: Ron setting it up to engage (people sent by) Ragley.still it smells fishy to me, if you where a low level merc, ex lonestar whatever, would you invest all your free cash in one single top of the line rail drone or many standard drones, traps. i just doubt he had the connections or the cash to get this drone by himself.
Completely metagame: Could be high-level Manipulation and Illusion magic?magic would not show up on video, would it?
I wouldn't call them low-level-mercs. We got the jump on them and managed to quietly take them down one/two at a time, only raising an alert when they were too late to get out of the gas. Their skill and training (read dice-pools) didn't seem low-level at all, neither did that 200kY platinum credstick Silk stole from the vault...200k i thought it was just 25k, and i never really had anything to do with their dice as they never showed they faces outside the Club, guess there was just one roll when silk got shot trough the door, all others where surprise or not in IC.
Last part, j/k ;p
I might be wrong about the mercs too, but I think I remember like 11 dice for initative; that's not amateur level I think...they where no pushovers thats for sure, Lonestar after all, but they where no private army as well, and using uzi, that just means in my book's no enough money to get a decent weapon.
Also, it was set to engage anyone on sight that wasn't one of the mercs. Which means Silk's original assumption that Ragley had set the drone to kill Ron Salt was wrong.
The drones IF/F was nothing special, it was set to eliminate anyone but the mercs.yep i did not find the spot where it's spoken about the turret at all, might have skipped it though.

Also anyone know which book/page has prices for screens/monitors?
Honestly have no idea whether magic can do this.
Can't remember the hacker mentioning his name, did he?

Theres the Trid Phantasm spell
We can check latter, by letting Kitten assense the turrent (we wise toke with us)QuoteTheres the Trid Phantasm spell
That I know off and could easily be how the gore scene was implanted.
I was thinking about what we do know really happened: the turret did change to the high-tech thing it's now, and the mercs did close a deal. So like, a mass influence spell and some machine spirit combined with shape metal spells? But is that possible/plausible enough?
About the drones, Space and Andromeda should have wiped them clean, e.g. Space also deleted all other accounts from previous owners.we might, or just in a location somewhere between the two locations we are in, Andromeda can bring the sedan and Habu together no problem.
If we want to pick up Kitten and Co., please remember the KE check point on the streets. Space doesn't have a SIN (Rating 5++) and the car is full of stolen weapons and drones ....
We should better wait outside the parameter, maybe this other warehouse?

Did you guys also take the commlinks from the mercs or only the weapons? If former, Space can use one of them to connect it to the safe house, even build up a honey pots, if someone trys to hack into the building.
Space all ready knows what he'll be doing for downtime, Lazarus will be posting it soonso we wrap it up? When so I know what to do in the downtime. Just need to decide if we bring kitten to the safehouse
All right@Chrona
Just a heads up, but Silk will argue that people keeping drones for themselves (instead of say, guarding the safehouse), she'll want them to drop a piece of the cred.Only natural, Andromeda should be happy to do so.
@Chrona
Should I post the driving, changes or will you wrap it all up in one final post?
Those are retail prices tho Laz, and no price listed on the Nexus. Which is minimum 6,800, assuming minimum processorsIt's because the nexus is still in the safe house. It is hidden inside the walls and surrounded by explosives), if I understode Chrona correct.
Silk might get a better price for them but those things will still not be worth retail. :-\Could Silk roll for negotiation then, so we can work with the real prices?
75% of the price- me thinks is the best we can hope for.
And Andromedas Debt is hanging over her head like a guillotine :'(
Doubt someone will be willing to pay full price for a used good of dodgy source, or will you like to tell it's allright that these weapons where used in a mass murder sceneSilk might get a better price for them but those things will still not be worth retail. :-\Could Silk roll for negotiation then, so we can work with the real prices?
75% of the price- me thinks is the best we can hope for.And Andromedas Debt is hanging over her head like a guillotine :'(Your are not the only onde with the Debt quality ;)
Safe house: 32.ooo
Guns & Body: 31.587
7 characters, but 2 only came in at the end. On the other side, Space has don't his job at the safe house and even git hit and Kitten's Invisible Spell was also very handy with all those cops around the clinic.
10.ooo for the old team, and 5.ooo each for Space (+2.ooo) and Kitten (+1.587)
So that's 10.000 for each of the 5 oringinals, 7.000 for Space and 6.587 for Kitten, right? fine with me.You can just summon a watcher to keep an eye on your body and lead the way back to it with no hassle, you always know where your spirits are and it's practical if they are guarding your flesh.
On another note, I've just made a post that's going to be a nice compromise between you guys wanting to leave and me having to have a look for auras. I project over. I can search for auras while projecting, you can leave (in fact, it's best if nobody is in the house when I do that, as your auras will be in the way). I just need the Sedan to stay put, that's all. So suggestion: Andromeda parks the Sedan some place beyond the police perimeter, I go to the safe house while you guys come to that point with Habu.
Let's not forget the 3,000 Chrona gave for the snack.Thanks for reminding me
20 credsticks?
A lot of dudes to fit in a 6-bed safehouse.
Looking around the astral inside and out Kitten doesn't notice any spirits or signatures. It's frustrating but it may have just been too long since the meeting.hope this is only a critical glitch not a new attack, my poor Sedan, ;D
Then a sharp feeling runs down your back.
Your watcher was just banished.
... we never checked where the backdoor leads to exactly. Maybe Space take a short look, when he searched the safe house?
Maybe one of the houses at the backalley was some kind of barracks.
hope this is only a critical glitch not a new attack, my poor Sedan, ;D
Does this happen befor or after LJ and her Sedan drive into Habu?hope this is only a critical glitch not a new attack, my poor Sedan, ;DNow wheres the fun in me leaving you guys alone ;P
i would say before they need 30 min to get there so that leaves plenty time to do assessing, summoning and astral travelDoes this happen befor or after LJ and her Sedan drive into Habu?hope this is only a critical glitch not a new attack, my poor Sedan, ;DNow wheres the fun in me leaving you guys alone ;P
Now wheres the fun in me leaving you guys alone ;P
Now wheres the fun in me leaving you guys alone ;P
I have a question before I reply, as I'm not sure how a certain watcher power works rulewise (it's the first time I play a mage).
A watcher can be used as courier (SR4a p189) to send a message to a person known to the summoner. So if I summon a new watcher (which I should be able to do on the astral), ask it to go to LJ, how long will that take? If it goes really fast, I'll summon a new watcher, have it go to LJ and I simply follow the spirit to find my body back. Otherwise I have to think up plan B.

That should be fine.
So far, I thought that I have original program since I paid the full price at char generation.Ah If you do you can't copy them, specifically you cant have more agents than you bought so you cant copy agents to put on the nexus.
1) Are there any freeware browse agents?
2)If I would have some piracy programs:
a]Would I have to pay for the patches (10% of the street price)
b]Would I have to roll the DataSearch-Browse for all programs seperatly
c]Does the knowledge skill 'PTP networks' reduce the threshold for finding the pirate networks, give a dice mod.?
We have 2 of their links. The one from Salt and the one from Carter (aka Mr. Snackson).
They were last in Angela's possession, but she was trying to get them to someone who could have cracked them. She thought that person might have been Chrona, but apparently it was Space who Chrona hired. I guess if Space is headed downtown, and so is Angela, she could hand them over.
By the way, you'd have to pay extra for an unrestricted agent. They cost 1.2x as much, and are totally worth it. A regular agent can't do anything illegal. Also, if they're mooked you can spoof their IDs with the Logic + Software (Rating x 3, 1 week) Extended Test to make copies that can operate on the same node at the same time.
2)This unrestricted agent sounds nice, but: Spoofing the access ID and make copies would break the copy-protection, which would lead to degeneration, or not?
Note that commercially-bought legal agents
have built-in limitations that prevent them from
taking any illegal action—broadly, this means they
won’t perform any action that requires a Hacking
Test, even if they have the correct program load-
ed, though gamemasters may rule this is a much
broader restriction on any blatantly illegal Matrix
activity. Hackers can remove these limitations
with an Extended Software + Logic (13 + Rating,
1 hour) Test, code agents without them, or buy
unrestricted agents from other hackers.

There aren't freeware... anything, really to my knowledge
Honestly I'm terrible with the piracy rules, ill get back to you once ive had time to sit down with Unwired
Okay, I spoke with Chrona and also will change the post after this post.
I assume, the only think left is that Space check the links and that we have a consense about the money split.

I'll [IC] the results at an appropriate timeThx, could you or Kouryuu also post where we have the meeting point in downtown, in case we should also do the discussion about the money in IC?
The amount I specified earlier will be deposited into an account to be downloaded once you meet upand Space waits for Silk (or any other team member) to tell him how much he has earned (or give him 7.ooo$ directly).
Oi, I'm waiting for the same :p
Didn't know Silk got promoted to leader, that means getting a larger cut, right? ;)
If Silk's allowed to negotiate for increased prices on the fenced gear, she will do so for everything but the 14 Uzi's (sadly the part bringing in the most money).
Imo, keeping stuff increases their value substantially....ohh whatever, just be done with the trading, so we can move on.
So everybody get his share from the money: 22.120Y (3.620 old team, 1,810k new team, 400 bonus for Space)
and the rest (by selling the guns) somewhere at the middle of the downtime..
I only wait for Angela to hand Space one of the commlinks. To check Salt's SIN and paydata and also make a rerouting to everybodys commcode for silent alarm from the safe house.
Agreed, at worst we can PM Chrona if something need to be RP otherwise I say we move on :)just a small moment, so that Space can check the two commlinks from Carter and Salt.
Recalculation if Andromeda keeps drones. (At half of retail value, still a bargain, 2 doberman + AK's at 3500Y)
Money: 25k Credsticks + 18120Y Organs = 22.120Y
Gear: Doberman+AK's at 50%, Weapons + Ammo sold at 25% = 0.5x(6000+1000)+ 0.25x(14000+260+2014+46+5+152) = 3500 + 4120 = 7620
Total value: 29.740Y (Rounded for simplicity)
29310x6= 4.885pp
430Y left for Space's bonus.
Hank, Noise, LJ, Silk: 1/6th = 4.885Y
Andromeda: 2 x Doberman + 2 x AK's + 1.385Y (Total value 4885Y with drones and AK at 50% value)
Space, Kitten 1/12th: 2.443Y.
Space bonus: 430Y
Again, under the assumption that all the gear will fetch 25% of retail price and calculated with some rounding... does Nuyen work with cents?
It's up to Chrona to decide how much of this we have to play out and how much he just wants to, what's the word, to wing? How is that used, the expression is "to wing it", no? Personally I'm not too big a fan of micromanaging this kind of stuff and wasting a week of IC over selling an empty clip and 30 bullets.
whats about the commlink Space should get from Angela?
-Stats, installed programs, paydata
-Salt's SIN
And might I suggest for the next session to start a OOC Messy Biz 2 (Or, simply, Messier Biz, haha).
Maybe this time everyone involved can do a first post briefly telling some things about their characters (again), basics like race, sex, look(s), 'class/specialties' or something? After all, we are getting to know each other a bit better and there's no secrets between us trusty team members, right? :)
Oh theres the throwaway 'link from the safe house too, Matrixly it's worthless but someone may want to Forensicify itOh, I thougth that this throwaway was the conncetion betweent the matrix and the nexus and therefor let it at the safe house? Also the throwaway was connected to the explosions, if I remmeber correct, and so I thought after checking it for traps Space also saw everything of interest. (He don't have a forensicify kit to take finger prints and this stuff.)
We'll just say you took it and there's datajacks to use the nexus

Kouryuu's Awards of Weird and Fun
Kouryuu as Andromeda - I do not believe in nominating myself, See no possibility to bound more then I am. ;D
Xzylvador as Silk: Ex-explosive round execution? Really?
GrimWulf as Noise: the best prepared at the J execution - Never more unprepared right?
Kontact as Little: For some New insights in Door Blocking possibilities and Killing with a playing card? Now I believe you.
Ten-Hex as Still Waters:Who needs Coms i have spiritst - For the best used spirit service, message delivery
Artighur as Hank: The strongest Dwarf around and gullible too. A good medic thou - For the Clone Transport
Redwulfe as I/O: Job, no I do not need a job. [actually not in your list but still]
So, just for stupid me:
-The nexus has its own matrix connection. yes
-The nexus was placed somewhere inside the walls. yes
-There were wires going into the walls and Space/I assumed they connected to explosions in the wall. I didn't explain properly, sorry, the wires weren't part of the bomb, they just connected the 'link to the nexus, we've now retconned that it was plugged into a datajack.on the wall
-The wires were connected to the datajack which is connected to the nexus. Yes
If it wasn't wired at all, Space would take it with a towel from the kitchen (not with his bar hands!!!) and make see same procedur as for the other two links. Space would do all this around the safe house, in case the link has some self-destruction based on GPS.
Check for security measures with visual perception.
Hack it!
Analyze for traps with matrix perception.
Browse the link for something interesting.
Which rolls do you want from Space? non, its fine, you have control of the self destruct
So any intersting results from the analyze and browse over/through the link.If it wasn't wired at all, Space would take it with a towel from the kitchen (not with his bar hands!!!) and make see same procedur as for the other two links.

I was waiting for Hanks rover to be mentioned.
You know.
At a crime scene.
Well, my SUV is around here, but I'd rather have it moved before KE gets in, don't wanna get linked in anything that happened here. Start moving out, you can pick me in like 15 minutes or should I get there by my own mean ?
Hank move toward his Rover ready to get out of here as soon as possible.
1 Call was made, that night, just after The team was called for the job. You cant get the calling commcodeThe only think Space can do, is to save the commcode and time, so he may remember it, when he hacks the commcode from where the call came from. Of course, he told the rest of the team about this one call, but I'm sure they already know that this was a trap. He puts the throwaway to the other two commlinks and adds an admin account for himself to all three commlink. In case someone calls this commlink and he has to trace it, Space ask Andromeda to call him afap.
Larzarus as Space: Coming into the game and then straight into gunfire. That's how Messy Biz jumps you in. ;DYou have no idea ;) ... I wrote a litte bit about, what Space does during downtime and why he gets the +4 Karma. Unfortunately, I only can post 20.000 characters and so, you have to follow the link.

Silk: nice shooting, especially from someone who wants to avoid violence.Ahaha! That made me laugh. ;)
Admin should give access to sculpting. Admin should give total access.
BTW, how long, exactly, is the downtime? I need to know for writing up the post.
And we're doing RAW skill advancement?
1 Week is enough time for 2 tests if we rush the job training...
Admin should give access to sculpting. Admin should give total access.Just a small RP-detail, Space hasn't enough time to sculpt the whole nexus by himself, but he used some standart model.
@Lazarus: Fun sub-plot you had there... Silk would've probably just shot someone. Your way probably earned more karma ;)Good think that Noise didn't get the gun, she probably would had shot Space after his 'mistake' with the turret.

so that means one new and upgrading one old, right? or two oldAnd we're doing RAW skill advancement?
1 Week is enough time for 2 tests if we rush the job training...
Yeah
Kouryuu's Awards of Weird and Fun 2
Xzylvador as Silk: Hmm... Door:"if you enter you might die and be eaten"; Silk: let's have a look. and One shoot, one destroyed turret. +2
GrimWulf as Noise: Best looking car in the team, Andromeda might disagree thou. and for being the one to be shot at at every possibility there is, wonder why Chrona left her alone ??? might have been out of ammo. +2
Kontact as Little Joe / Angela: For the Handy shotgun gravel, and keeping count of times Andromeda suggest to be killed by him. +5
Artighur as Hank: Today is just not his day, Next time he will beat you Chrona. and for Cleaning Andromeda's Living-room, need any work as a maid? +2
Farothel as Kitten: Not again My not so fake SIN is called Fake, Will 5 nuyen do Officer? and Egyptian ritual chants. +4
Larzarus as Space:OOC but still "Habu has internal Cameras? Whats the Firewall?" While Silk and Noise are about to get in the bath. and simply For a fellow tech guy. :D +3
Andromeda: For great Habu Justice! You finally got to reveal your behemoth. (that's what she said?) +3
Silk: Saved Noise's life even if she was being NPC'd at the time. Also.... the torture scene. +3
Little Joe/Angela: (S)He's got ball's of steel to go out alone in the barrens and huck rocks at ghouls. Also /who are you!?/ +2
Hank: Willingly entered melee combat with a ghoul, and lost, but isn't a ghoul himself... also for refusing to use Edge during that fight. (at least I didn't notice any) +1
Kitten: Poor fake SIN, scanned under one rule and then fails again under the new system. Maybe the fake name should have been better than Ira Fake?
Space: Noise still blames him for not disabling the turret. but as he got shot by it too, she'll let it slide for now.
Andromeda: Habu, that's for sure, especially the bath part that was pretty funny.
Silk: Salt interrogation was pretty well handled.
Noise: Fetish about stuff Dwarves in a trunk much ? +2
Little Joe: Lots of personalities in a very small body :D +1
Hank: n/a
Kitten: Busted SIN on the very first roll in the game ? Then crit glitch a summing test ? Continue like that and you might pull the bad luck away from me. +1
Space: Dwarf-bro needs extra Karma
Kouryuu as Andromeda - Great RP all around with her and LJ's back and forth, but I really enjoyed the illustration of Habu. +2
Xzylvador as Silk: Living that triple life (flashback silk, social silk, and killer silk) and sticking her nose into the business of one very dangerous Orc. +3
GrimWulf as Noise: For her disgust at watching Chrona eat, and her subsequent decision to wait by the car and smoke for the rest of the hour. +3
Kontact as Angela/LJ: For that private scene where she killed Still Waters and stuffed his body in an empty barrel. ;) +1 just for this
Larzarus as Space: Coming into the game and then straight into gunfire. That's how Messy Biz jumps you in. ;D +1
Artighur as Hank: Soldiering forward through the tunnel to Chrona's despite LJ trying to terrify him with ideas of certain doom. +2
Farothel as Kitten: Getting stuck with the crazy gnome right off the bat. That's jumping in head first, first time. +1
Andromeda: For being as happy as a kid in a toystore with a heap of old junk. Then getting another heap of junk that's too high tech do work with. +2
Noise: For the background flashback, Silk and her might just understand each other. Also for continually being edgy and well-armed (swords and rifle) in a non-hostile situation, then getting caught off guard and shot in the one brief situation that was hostile. +5
Silk: For being the cutest and nicest and hottest person in the whole wide world! -9001 =P
LJ (I refuse to call her Angel!): Like the others said, how many people fit inside that small head? Loved the theological thing with Ron (which we didn't hear... probably a good thing) and the social-discrimination talk with Silk. ("Who says people were wrong when they said dwarfs weren't the devil's creation?") +3
Hank: For being such a fun guy, always happily playing along with the games people around him come up with. And going hand to hand with a ghoul the size of a troll ain't bad for a dwarf. +1
Kitten: For apparently bringing a new enemy into the game. We needed that. Really. +2
Space: I liked the video analysis post, sure beats "12d6, 3 hits". And for having to work overtime. +4
Andromeda: Habu. I really like a thing like that (and you don't have to take a lifestyle, just a parking ticket)
Noise: for triggering the trap and being the only one to get shot (at least as far as I know)
Silk: nice shooting, especially from someone who wants to avoid violence. +1
LJ: for just plain weirdness +1
Hank: for offering a nice bath to the hot ladies +1
Kitten: two times failing a SIN check. It shouldn't happen.
Space: for sending disturbing footage to everybody. Unfortunately nobody vomited. +3
Andromeda: For Habu, although Karma won't pay for the fuel bill of this wheeled monster.
Silk: Although she was NPC by that time, when she shoot the turrent why Noise and Space were hidden somewhere
Noise: Hidding in the closet, while Silk shoot the turret & she didn't kill Space! +1
Little Joe: Nice disguise at the check point near the clinic. +1
Hank: I'm not sure, but I thought that he made the coffee. And a few post later, Hank complains about that Space trinks coffee. +1
Kitten: SIN or SINless, wo cares.
+ extra Karma for the cop who ASK for a bribe. +1
Space: First second of the run and he picks up a poisoned gun ... even more bad luck than Kitten (although he already get Karma for this)
so that means one new and upgrading one old, right? or two old
two new ones would be outside RAW?
buying them would be out of question?
Players use Karma between adventures to improve attributes and skills,so that means one new and upgrading one old, right? or two old
two new ones would be outside RAW?
buying them would be out of question?
I've no idea, tbh, check anniversary for me? lol sorry
To learn or improve a skill or skill group, the character must succeed in an Extended Intuition + skill Test, with a threshold equal to the new skill rating x 2 and an interval of 1 week (1 month for skill groups). A teacher can add bonus dice to this test (see Using Instruction, p. 134).Which means that, since we've only got one week in before next run, we could only do one roll of the extended test for a week (new or improving skill) and don't have time to increase a skill group (monthly interval).
I think what Kontact was referring to (when asking about RAW rules) was:Yeah but rushing an extendet test you migt cut the time in half, with the glitch numbers 1 and 2QuoteTo learn or improve a skill or skill group, the character must succeed in an Extended Intuition + skill Test, with a threshold equal to the new skill rating x 2 and an interval of 1 week (1 month for skill groups).

I kind of like not having to wait 5 months in between runs. But if going by RAW, we'll have lots of karma we just don't have time to spend.
Kontact, how was LJ's initiation handled last time? Spend karma and it's good?

OOC: I'm not going to spend the karma but wait for initiation. Either with a group or if I don't find any, I'll write something with my mentor spirit as soon as I have the karma to spend.
For the rest she's not going to do a lot that week, unless there's a lead on any of the questions she has asked, in which case I'm going to follow up on those. So Chrona: if there's anything, let me know and I'll add to this. Normally she will either send in a watcher or do astral recon before going in in the meat.
Expenditures: 21 karma to raise Magic from 6(5) to 7(6) 1PP spent on Traceless Walk. 10,000¥ paid toward debt. 6,000¥ paid for two R3 SINs - one for LJ and one for Silk. 100¥ for Breathtaker.
Hank will probably be looking for a way to Initiate, maybe with an Ordeal or something like that, he hopes that Chrona will be able to give him a hand (and not a claw !)
Time between:
Kitten was back home. It had been a strange, but productive evening. Now she only had to investigate whatthe strange thing was she had felt. The aura that felt like Jean-Jacques. First of all she had asked her talismonger if he had seen him, or any other talismonger in the city. While she was waiting for that to yield results, she would go back to the location where her watcher had been banished. Sitting in her magical lodge, so he body would be protected by wards, she projected her consciousness on the astral and flew off.
Arriving at the location, she started looking around, for wards, spirits and magically active people, in that order. She also went into the houses next to the street to see if he might be living there. She thought not, but she had to find out what was going on and if there was one thing Jean-Jacques had taught her, it was to be thorough. It had been too long since the watcher had been banished, so she wouldn't find that trace anymore, but maybe she could find something else that would give her a lead.
One of the following days she went back to her talismonger, a guy named McCallahan, who had a shop in Tacoma, not far from where she lived.
"Say, I have a question," she said after the customary introductions, "do you know of any mages following the Egyptian tradition like myself."
"Not like that," Jack McCallahan said, "I follow the hermitic tradition myself, but I can ask around. Why?"
"I would like to initiate, but I've heard it's easier in group, so I would like to find either a group I can join, or other people who are willing to join me in creating one."
"I'll check with some people," he promised, "and I'll let you know as soon as I know more."
"Thanks," Kitten said, "I owe you one. Anything from the photo I showed you?"
"Not yet," Jack said, "but I've got some feelers out."
"Okay, see you around," she said before leaving the shop. Now she had to wait for the results and in the mean time reading those issues of the magical journal she had subscribed to.QuoteOOC: I'm not going to spend the karma but wait for initiation.

Blank was in his hallway, strolling comfortably toward the new doors at the end. He had The Girl with him so that he could show her all the newest occupants. He always felt rejuvenated here in his place of power, but he still needed to keep the girl occupied even as he eliminated her. As he walked, he spoke to her. "This is just one of the men hired to kill us tonight. It's hard to tell what he might have been thinking, since he'd possibly had his mind taken from him, but his position in life as a thug and killer is indisputable." The Girl cowered at his heels like a sick and beaten animal as he opened the first door. In it was a human man in his late thirties with two gaping wounds in his chest. He looked at the two figures in the doorway for a moment and then dropped his head. "He and his friends were corrupt ex-police, so used to abusing their authority that they couldn't imagine a life without it. Now they don't have to." Blank shut the door and turned to The Girl. "The ghouls are up ahead if you'd like to see them," he continued, urging her along, but she paused. "You were talking to a man earlier. A man like the last one." Blank turned to The Girl, surprised to hear express interest. Had she been listening to that? That was unusual. "Yes. Mr. Salt. I did not kill him. Did his position disturb you?" Perhaps she had identified with his situation - helpless and bound in a room, at the mercy of monsters? "What was the question? The question he should have asked?" This was abnormal. Blank lowered his shadowy form to The Girl and gave her an easy smile. "The only question that matters to someone in his position. 'What can I do to stay alive?'" The Girl started to shake. Her solid white eyes shut tight against the force of the seizure as she collapsed to the ground. Blank looked back down the hallway. It's doors seemed to stretch on forever.
Angela awoke refreshed in her coffin room in western Auburn. She smiled deeply, and the nanites still on her face shifted to fill in the cracks. Despite sleeping so late, she still had several hours left with this face. Might as well use it to buy the next one. She called up Jimmy to see if she could get some work, new gear, or, at the very least, hand him some money toward what she already owed him.
"Hello Jim. Are you free to meet up and talk business?"
"Oh, Angela today, is it? Would it upset you if I thanked my lucky stars?"
"Would it upset you if I said I was feeling all brand new and thought a change of identity would go with it?"
"You've never seemed to care much about upsetting me before, so I'll consider this change a positive one."
"Goody gum drops. I'd like to have two new IDs if you can arrange that. Additionally I have 10,000¥ for you."
"Any preferences?"
"A well-off Japanese child from Shiawase, any gender, and one for that child's mother. I've got a picture of the woman who is to act as the mother. I also have some hair for the DNA sample."
"So, the second ID isn't for you? Did you actually make a friend?"
"A colleague."
"Slash hostage?"
"You're in a funny mood today."
"Come by the club. I'll tell you about it."
Angela got up and hailed an autocab over her link. Thirty minutes later, she was Downtown. Walking in, there were a few patrons off to one side trying to talk over the music while the bartender stood around scanning the room. Angela signaled to him as she made her way to the back. In the back office, she found Jimmy "Sweets" O'Brien, lieutenant for the Finnigan family, and the only man alive who knew anything about her past.
"So this Tamanous play is working out for you, eh?"
"Corey told you about that, hmm?"
"Yeah, I kind of have to worry about you, beside that marker you're paying me back for, you've also got a habit of killing people you find fault with. I can't imagine that working along side kidnappers is easy for you.."
"I've been alright. There have been a lot of nasty people for me to take my frustrations out on. Besides the individuals I'm working with haven't proved to be completely useless."
"Oh, has Angela got a crush?"
The way she looked at him made him cough and change the subject.
"So, the problems at that Equilibruim club should turn out to be a bit of a boon for the Ciarniellos. Nothing drives down prices like a good old fashioned bloodbath. And the locals will probably be happier about their presence in the neighborhood when they start running protection.."
"You implied that there was something funny you wanted to talk with me about."
"Well, there sort of is. As a goodwill gesture to the people of that area, Mr. Ciarniello wants to make an example of the folks responsible for the massacre at Equilibrium, and I know you were in that area. I thought maybe..."
"You need a scapegoat? It was a Humanis thing. Political. I don't know that kicking that hive will be any use. The leader of the mercs is still alive, probably. If you want me to arrange for him to be handed over to Caesar's goon squad, I could make a call. He's even ex-Lonestar. Works well to discredit the authorities."
"That could work out alright, thank you. People just need to get the message that this kind of shit doesn't happen in our neighborhoods without us stepping in and handling it. Is there anything I can do for you in return, besides the IDs you wanted to buy?"
"I've got a couple of grenades I need filled up with breathtaker gas..."
"I'll see what I can do. Keep working your way up that chain over there and I'm sure you'll find who you're looking for."
"I'm not looking for anyone."
"Sure you're not, sweet girl. Surely."
Jimmy stood up and walked her to the office door.
"Keep in touch, eh? Just try and wear the big girl pants like today. Wouldn't want anyone misunderstanding."
"A misunderstanding like that which led you to save my life?"
"Something which I pay for every day, Jesus knows."
"I'll have to have a word with this Jesus fellow if he knows so much.. Right after I talk with Corey.."
"Oh, leave Corey be! He knows I've got your best interests at heart. Do just try to be good for poor Jimmy's sake, will ya?"
"For your sake, I'll be perfect."
"Oh, lord! Just clear out of here you mad witch!"
"Bye Jim. I'll call you later about the guy."
"You do that. Helps people feel safe."
With that, Angela walked out of the office and out of the club. She arranged for Ron Salt's butchered body to be sewn back up and sent to the Ciarniello family instead of the ghoul-feed lot. Creepy Joe made a tidy sum on the deal, and the Ciarniellos helped their reputation as a family interested in serving justice for the community. Knight Errant was not too happy.
Six days later, Jimmy called back with a drop off for the goods Angela had ordered. Jun and Oren Fukuyama. The grenades were also serviced and returned.QuoteExpenditures: 21 karma to raise Magic from 6(5) to 7(6) 1PP spent on Traceless Walk. 10,000¥ paid toward debt. 6,000¥ paid for two R3 SINs - one for LJ and one for Silk. 100¥ for Breathtaker.
Downtime :
Hank is not fond of living in the past, it reminds him too much of long the past is and how short the future is bound to be. But he was a perfectionist. Calling up Chrona, he asks the Ghoul for the trid footage of the sparring,and then start reviewing the fight taking notes of every failing and every details. After a couple hours, he came to the realization that he did very little mistakes, maybe he should have follow-up when he connected Chrona but no. He lost the fight right at the beginning, his gift was simply not good enough to match Chrona's. He was reaching his limit. An answer he didn't like. At all. So he went to the gym, busted out the punching bag. As he smashed the sand bag, he realized something. Everything used to be "the limit", the cap, the maximum. "What's a limit if not something to be bypassed. One hundred year ago they thought Sky was the limit, a couple minute ago, I thought I reached my limit" Hank thought.
Hank stopped and quickly rushed out of the gym barely taking time to shower. A couple minute later he was parking his Rover in front of Chrona's safehouse.
"Chrona, this is Hank I want to have a word with you"
Depending on how it goes, he might have a little job for Romy. His Rover need some Run Flat Tires and Spoof Chips or some sort of security protection to be a suitable runner wheels :)QuoteHank will probably be looking for a way to Initiate, maybe with an Ordeal or something like that, he hopes that Chrona will be able to give him a hand (and not a claw !)
Angela is Initiated in the Way of the Warrior. Doesn't have any Way qualities though, since she's older than that book...But she could, just need to take the positive quality.

You find a tiny amount of the aura at the top of a building, if you go there physically roll visual perception
intuition 5 + perception 1 + visual 2 + vision enhancement 2 =10 (10d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3142546/)
Man, my rolls in this PbP suck big time. :(
Also, she will have her increased reflexes in her focus and a spirit (fire) on standby to defend her. If you want I roll them, but if there's no combat I'll just assume that I managed to get them cast in my home (I have a magic lodge there).
I assume I won't get any reply from my contact on a possible initiatory group within one week, so I'll let that one run in the background.

Yes unfortunately you find nothing
note post in progress when i was forced to hit submit, may be edited for sanity/content laterMonday
Besides I believe the test is made after duration expires.
It was my first SR GM's birthday yesterday, BBQ started at 4pm. It's now 8am the next day. Will post/reply when recovered.gratulations
You'll get a call next monday night for a meet tuesday. so a weekIf it's the Johnson from Messy Biz I: He doesn't have Space's commcode yet, but fortunatly, Space is working with Andromeda in Habu's workshop, right when the message comes in.
Anything Python deserves +1.Nope, not +1, at least +10.
before hand
Lip reading program?!?!
CarnivoreGold, LipReader and MonaLisa, each at Rating 5, Space doesn't bother his fixer with it, since they are CommonUse programs.
With this:
1) The tea lady at the safe house nexus now has large, new glasses when she's reading through the news paper (MonaLisa to look for the unknown, black man and Space's team members)
2) On the VR footage from the safe house: Lip Reading: 4 hits (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3145852/) (Can Space repeat the test later until he gets the whole conversation?)
Legit or Pirated copies?
Is everyone ready to carry on?if everyone is ok with the works they gave to Andromeda will finish the Post and we can carry on.
one hit for armourer for next downtime :'( (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3149184/)
As for Nuyen
8300 to space for the programs
Hank can donate something to the Save Andromeda from Debt fund - as I do not have a clue what to ask i will not charge him, just ask to donate what he thinks would be adequate
