I don't. Barely any skill and being a dwarf pretty much preclude me from using it.

She's just not going to physically get out of the car. She'll provide overwatch support in Astral space. I know Dr. Ken can probably see me, but I figure Hopeless will tell him I'm with him. I would tell Hopeless that I'm going to watch in astral space.

I'm going to prepare a Barrier for Hopeless for his meet.
F3 Physical Barrier: MAG (5) + Alchemy (4) [3] (9d6.hits(5)=3)
WIL (6) + LOG (6) (12d6.hits(5)=3)
Results in a F3/P3 Command Trigger Physical Barrier Preparation. Bookworm sustains 1 Box of Stun Damage. She now has 1 Box of Stun & 1 Box of Physical (if her physical damage healed, not sure on that one).

I've become super paranoid both out and in character. I think hopeless might just actually go inside the restaurant, sit down, order, then call Ken asking where he is, pretending to not remember he said he'd be in the parking garage. He did mention getting lunch after all and i dont think ian has eaten today.

EDIT: Jack, what type of action is it to activate the brick?

It's a Simple Action, but Bookworm is the only one who can activate it per the alchemy rules. With that said, she can manifest from the Astral plane and activate it... or just pop her head up from the car if not projecting. I am starting to think we may need someone to do Matrix Overwatch and she should be able to do that from AR. You have a spirit on hand, right? They could cover Astral Overwatch.

@Jack, the healing process is still going on.  Delilah will be healed down to 1P by the end of the day today, but after a good night's sleep etc. mechanically let's say she's down to 1P now.  She can make another healing check this evening.

@Poindexter, Dr. Ken pinged Hopeless as he entered the garage.  I didn't see your OOC when I posted IC.  Should I adjust?

@Poindexter: Here's the description of Junior's from the map, in case it influences whether you would head in or not:

Located in the basement garage of the local Solaris Group Affiliate, Junior's fills a need as the local hot-spot lunch and dinner locale for corpers on the go who need to seal a deal  With a mid-20th century aesthetic, Junior's offers a cigar lounge, real Texas-raised beef, and for ¥75 a plate, the Caesar Salad had better be as good as advertised.

@R&B: Thanks. Actually, is taking Stun Damage going to interfere with her ability to heal? If so, she probably wouldn't have prepared the brick. Then again, I'm not sure if she's ever actually had to deal with recovering from physical damage, so maybe it's something she just learned. Just let me know, whether she heals today or tomorrow is only partially relevant from her perspective. Granted, if bad shit goes down between now and the run, it may be much more significant.

Ahh, trying to make sense of the healing rules is really going to make me recover some S damage before I can make an intelligent reply.  Ok, so you need to heal the stun damage before you can heal your physical damage, but you've done a lot of the P type healing overnight, etc.Honestly, I don't think the headache from casting would do much to offset the good work you've done with your gunshot wound, so, as long as you can spend most of today continuing to rest -- and don't get yourself in a shootout at Junior's, I'll say the 1S you took will take 1 die away from your previous healing test. 

Moving forward, I do see casting as having a negative impact on healing, so I'm going to think about how that will work.  I really don't see a low-level preparation interfering much, but I don't want to get into a situation where a character is "resting" but doing all sorts of casting to continue with legwork, etc.

I'm good with that. I think the way RAW works, anything that has the potential to cause drain would prevent recovery. I'm going to chalk it up to Bookworm only knowing about it in theory and forgetting about it. Now that she's actually experienced it, she isn't going to make that mistake again.

Cool.  That works for me.

Hm, things have moved forward a bit too much for me to really post about Error's doings this morning. I was planning to make an IC post, but never got a reply about Error's apparent girlfriend.

Also, did Error ever contact his lady love?

Error has a lady love?

*checks sheet*

So he does! And he's racist against Indians, apparently? Is that Native Americans or the kind from India?

So has anything been established about Error's girlfriend or do I get to wing it? I'm gonna want to include that in my IC post.
