Mal - I think Inanna should question him better than the rest. Also have Yako or IT to look in the astral - I think we may be able to see if there is something unusual about his aura.

[Malevolence]

John notified the party that they had captured the mage. I can have him update them about his weird behavior.

[rednblack]

Your prisoner simply gives you a casual glance just before you strike him unconscious, submitting willfully to the inevitable.  At no point during any of this has he displayed any real concern over his predicament.

Yeah, this concerns me. Inhabitation or possession spirit? His attributes (based on rolls, and strictly OOC) are a little low for that. Part of a plan? It seems he'd still be a little concerned we might kill him. Suicidal, or just generally apathetic about his life? Maybe. Brainwashed cult member? Where I'm putting my money now, but it still doesn't add up (OOC) since Siren said they were another team of runners - which is odd since toxic mages usually shun companionship.

Either way, it seems significant and James is perceptive enough that he'd notice it seemed odd, but neither James nor I really have much idea what it means.

Yes, this is, in a way, terrifying.  I've been holding off IC because I'm not sure quite what to do.  The car probably has trackers, but if we take him with us, we can't drop the car off elsewhere to get another ride.  I wish I'd bought a jammer at char-gen.

[gilga]

You can come and ride with IT she has 4 sits sedan - that I think she should eventually be able to remove trackers from. If we give up seed/handling we can accommodate up to 6 people in there.

Mal- I would have written an IC but IT is in the astral and has not seen your message yet, but combats despite the fact it may take a few days to reslove really take just a few seconds. so I am a bit in a problem there... because I'd like to help by having a look at the prisoner - and also interfere to make sure Flea makes it in good shape.

Besides it seems risky to split up when there is clearly a group of runners on our tail. We are not exactly built for heavy combat - except perhaps Sabato.

[Malevolence]

Good plan about the Bulldog, rnb. I'll IC an attempt to contact him.

[gilga]

ask for a rigger adaptation if you can. It will open us more options.

is flea still on the combat timer?

[Siren]

I keep saying it, but I'm sorry, work has just been insane the last few days.  Couple people quit and yours-truly gets to take over their classes and paperwork until the replacements arrive.  Last night was an all-nighter and tonight doesn't hold much more hope.

I'll put out updates as often as I can get the time.

@Siren

Baro/Sabato is outside.He's been outside since IT first pulled over.He was at the point of the diamond formation around the car.

Question : Can Baro assume that this rider is a better combatant than his comrade?As far as Mechanics go, he has more defense dice and far more soaking dice(at least 24).Can Baro aknowledge such differencies in game?

If yes, he will probably consider givng chase, this guy is too dangerous to be left alone.

Interesting question.  Let's do something weird with it.  Give me a Pilot Ground Vehicle check as a Knowledge skill (use Logic instead of Reaction).  Beat 3 hits and Baro can tell.

Give me a Perception test (visual) as well.

Edit: I see IC you've decided not to chase.  He still could have noticed, if you still want to make the rolls.

[Siren]

as in, wirelessly activating gecko gloves and parkour to rooftops. fucker can't get his motorbike up there lol

Since you're using Gecko Gloves and aren't in direct combat, I'll let you buy the necessary hits and assume success.

[Siren]

is flea still on the combat timer?

His opponent hasn't given chase, so at the moment, I'll say Flea is out of the timer.  Only the rider and IT and co. are in initiative at the moment.

[rednblack]

Way OOC, but what do you teach, Siren?  Teacher here too.

[Siren]

I teach science to elementary school kids.

I also teach an advanced English class to Middle Schoolers by playing Shadowrun with them.  They love it, and everyone who plays has seen a marked increase in their speaking ability.

How about you?  What do you teach?

[Siren]

I am not sure IT can do anything herself, but she bring with her 3 spirits.
Astral Initiative: 16+2d6 23

Chase - f5 air: 14+2d6 21
Ms. Grace f5 man: 12+2d6 18
Mr. T f5 man: 12+2d6 16
his last service will be expended to fight this combat - a shame because I really liked him.

Might be able to keep Mr. T for a bit longer.

[Siren]

Good news is next week is a major Korean holiday and I'll have 8 days off.  By the time I'm back, the replacements should have arrived and my schedule goes back to Human.
