I've updated the map with the location of the safehouse and Doc Ticker's clinic.  IC is also up.  The safehouse has all the ameneties you will need, though you can choose to dine in the restaurant if you'd like.

EATA: Does Red-Eye have any starting nuyen? I'll throw it into the tracker if so.

Starting Nuyen (1d6 *20): 1d6*20 120

He's basically got some pocket change. Left Seattle in a big hurry, hence the Street lifestyle.

Going with her 2 CHA, I'm going to just presume that Bookworm totally misses the implication that Takara wants a tip.

Bookworm swiped her plexi-glass meal voucher from Mr. Takara's hand. He should really put that credstick away, it's likely to get stolen... she thought as she waved to the man. "Thanks for the information!"

Making her way to the couch, the dwarf eased herself down onto a cushion and kicked her sneaker-shod feet up onto the coffee table.

Haha.  Yeah, that sounds about right.

[JackVII]

Did anyone else want to say anything to Takara?

I know Poindexter's next post is probably going to be a beast, but if we could get this show on the road . . . *nudge, nudge*

[Poindexter]

sorry man

It's coming.

[rednblack]

I ain't too worried about it.  I know that you've got a lot of terrain to cover.  I'm just excited to see what happens next.

[Poindexter]

Ok, so due to money issues, i've had to take on a second job.
This leaves me with very little time, energy, or creativity for posting.

It wont be like this for long, but if ya get sick of waiting for me in the meantime, feel free to NPC me until I get back on the fuckin ball about shit.

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

EDIT: I am NOT quitting the game, but i will be posting less frequently than you probably expect of me.

[rednblack]

Sorry to hear it, Poindexter.  Take care.

I went ahead an posted Hopeless' explanation to the team.  I'm afraid it doesn't sound much like him, but the day job is keeping me scrambling as well.  We should be able to move forward at least, and Red-Eye should have a good idea of the movers and shakers from Breeze's data-dump.  I think we're ready to move forward.

[JackVII]

Alright, just throwing out some thoughts/ideas here to get the ball rolling. Feel free to chime in as you are capable:

1) Primary: We need to start doing legwork on the Airport. Floorplans/layout plus a location for the product will be very helpful. If we can get any detail on the Texas Rangers/SOPs/etc which might help us create a distraction, that might be good. We also need to consider logistics of moving the product.

2) Secondary: I think we all have a massive chip on our shoulder's vis a vis Niles Gray/Big Daddy. Considering how much of a thorn in our side he and the rest of the RF crew has been, I know I'd like to jack them up somehow, with an emphasis on him. It also might prevent them from moving against us when we make our run. On a side note, after reviewing Breeze's data, Bookworm wants to know more about Odysseus Max and who or what they are.

3) Tertiary: The Putas de Muerte are probably gunning for us since our actions somewhat inadvertently caused one of them to get geeked. If we can develop more information about them, it may be helpful.

[rednblack]

@Jack, that's where I'd start.  Sounds like a solid plan.

The question is, where to find that info.  The airport is old, and Error and Bookworm might both know that.  It's pretty small, and is not the commercial airport in town, so that's a bonus for the team.  It's age might mean that even though gov. installations are not likely to be on the public grid, some info about the airport may be.

Niles Gray should be easy to find info on.  It's a legal SIN, and he's an above-ground cat, so that's also in the team's favor.

The Putas de Muerte are another story.  Shadow contacts, and some deep matrix digging are the most likely candidates there.

[JackVII]

Bookworm has okay computer skills, but I would imagine Archive's are much better. I would think Archive would focus on the airport stuff as primary focus and the Putas de Muerte as a secondary focus. Bookworm can dig into Gray and possibly the other RFers to find out more information on them as a lot of that should be public. Hopeless can do meatspace legwork, as he seems to have better and more varied contacts than the rest of us. Maybe dig into the Odysseus Max thing from Dr. Ken, if he can get a hold of him.

When Bookworm gets done, she can attempt some astral surveillance of the airport or the RFers, if we develop additional information on them.

I'm sort of leaving Error out of all of this, figuring he'll be driver/security. Hopeless should probably try out his disguise skills on him though!

[Poindexter]

ok, im tired, but tomorrow morning im gonna go catch up on the IC thread and make me a post.

@RnB, I'm sure you did just fine with hopeless's speech.

@Jack, I like all these ideas. hopeless is still good at legwork. he hasn't had his face seen by ANY of these fuckers yet. At least, not as far as he knows. Shit, that rotodrone at the airport might have gotten a look at him. I need to go read that bit again and see if he got his helmet on before or after the rotodrone showed up.

[Poindexter]

ok, im all caught up, but im not sure where to go from here.
