Hmm, then I read too much into the roleplaying biological node hacking section.  No worries in that case.

It's unfortunately easy to miss the line of rules that puts a wall up between the technomancer's brain and bionode, yeah.

I highly doubt Fang lives on Bainbridge island given its... Less than stellar opinion of changelings. He can get a ferry from Tacoma Port (I realised I never chose a district  for him, and Tacoma sprung  up as an option as opposed to Everett, mostly due to Fenris Nacht. Downtown might be mildly more appropriate with places like Syberspace, but I can't find a port there in the book. It's a difference of a few KM in distance anyway), how long would that take? It's about 5km to the closest point of Outremer, and about 15-20km at the furthest point.

I imagine that a passenger ferry would have a speed of about 50-60 (looking at the stats for the larger, slower watercraft. I've seen some as high as 90, but they're more combat-oriented) with an acceleration of perhaps 4/8-5/10. Assuming that the travel is at max speed to the destination... 5-15 minutes give or take. Not accounting for waiting times for the next ferry, travelling to Tacoma Port. Assuming he lives around Fenris Nacht, that'd be about 18km. Assuming travelling at about 60k/h (50-60 is about average down here for speed limits, might be a bit higher in the current era of this campaign), that's about 20 minutes of travel give or take. So that totals to approximately half an hour of travel time altogether, not including waiting times for the next ferry from Tacoma. Based on the travel and accompanying maintenance time, one every 20 minutes seems appropriate. So I guess that I may be lucky enough to have one there.

TL;DR: Is half an hour travel time acceptable, Marlowe? Let me know if it isn't and I'll change it in the post. For the sake of time I'll go with it for now.

Just a heads up - my posting's gonna be pretty erratic for a little bit; my father's in the hospital right now (fell and broke his leg quite severely, needs surgery and physio), suffice it to say things are a little out of whack.

Yeah, fortunately.  Full recovery's gonna take a while, though.

Hope he gets well soon RHat,
and Marlowe, the security tactics roll was for equipment to secure the bunker after we cleared it out.

Ron turns and informs the group of a possible aid (REFER TO DIALOGUE UP TOP)

OK guys, I know recapping information said to other players in a post is pretty dull, but just...none of this, OK?

For me the best part of pbp playing is the ability to roleplay your character and take as much time as you want to do it. 

If you don't want to recap, something as simple as "Ron turns and tells the others about a possible meeting to get any gear they want." would work just don't put OOC directions saying (READ THE POSTS TO ME!) in IC threads.

Plus you guys will want to work out a shopping list with prices, I'm sure, and being able to do that in character should be a rare treat since most of the time at a table you're flipping through books instead.
