Nah, none of that makes sense to me. I'm happy to see how it turns out for Mwindaji. Glad to hear I don't have to role-play an asshole to him (at least not due to his being a Corp employee, LOL).

[Csjarrat]

as i'm driving the gopher and not sat in the nomad with the others, i'll just assume you sent me an update as its quicker than copy pasting IC :-)

[JackVII]

You and I (at the least) are in the Gopher. Mwindaji and Frenchy are with Alzmer in the Nomad (I think). Mwindaji opened a "pary-line" commlink so we could all hear, if I recall correctly.

Cool, thanks

Ren, to your knowledge:

Bats snakes, and small reptiles are the most common residents of abandoned mines. Awakened versions of either also a possibility.

Other than that, single animals don't tend to lair in them due to the aforementioned bats, though it is possible that a single or pair of large animals, or a pack of medium sized or larger may on very rare occasions.

On the plus side, some of the rather nasty awakened insects and spiders that would typically live in such dark places are typically controlled by the bats.

Are you guys driving manually or using rigs? If you are driving manually Frenchy, make a control vehicle check due to your passenger's interference.

That was my assumption as well

I hope someone brought the heavy artillery!

Frenchy doesn't have a rig.

@Reminder: i see you anticipated the astonished/killer/ohshit look That is actually the approximate look on my character's face.

Putting it here so I don't have to type it out all official like.


Tanzanite is a very bold blue (at times with a slight purple hue) gemstone, with a moderate value as far as gemstones go. It is found only in the foothills on the south side of Mount Kilimanjaro. This relative scarcity has caused some prices to increase, and much of it has been mined out as of the in game year. It is a soft and brittle, so if you drop it, there is a chance it can crack. It's only real value is in making jewelery.

As far as it's relationship to the Maasai, it was initially discovered by one of their tribesmen in 1967. As such, it has no inherent spiritual link with their people, at least in a traditional sense. I am sure some of them have used it for ornamentation however. If they are actually using it for some other purpose now, that information isn't available on the matrix, and it would be a very recent development. So I think its safe to say the stone isn't sacred, but it may have (or not) some quality that they are using now.

And thus ends learning time for today

Look at it this way, at least you don't have to feed stones and change their bedding on the trip back.

It was a fair guess. FYI he failed his roll to understand your cursing

Totally OOC since I've been building a dronomancer, but does anyone have the capability of running a sensor scan or scanning for wireless devices to make sure we aren't being followed by drones, etc?

You are likely asking for a matrix perception check for any wireless enabled devices.


Please don't try one with Mlinzi, especially how she has been rolling. I am not prepared to narrate the third matrix crash.
