[Poindexter]

I'm back from my conference and playing catch-up.  Regular posting should resume sometime tomorrow.  Thanks for your patience.

Do your thing, sir.

@Poindexter, Mr. Hopeless would notice that The Phoenix could be under the influence.  La Sombre seems her normal self.

Where to next, everyone?  Is it time to go home and get some sleep?  Are we still hitting up The Feathered turf in the morning? 

[SgtBoomCloud]

I believe so, though the Phoenix might need to be worn down/knocked out for that.  As for the Feathered in the morning, she will definitely need a chaperone...that backlash of the novacoke is gonna hit like a troll falling on a dwarf...

[JackVII]

I'm good with that, I just need to figure out what else Wraith needs to dig into since Matrix Searches often require such long downtime.

Should you decide that you -- and/or the team -- should approach Red Yohan, Wraith is fairly confident that she can get to the general area without any further investigation.  If you come up with anything else, let me know.

I think we can safely fast forward to Sunday now, barring any matrix searching that might still need to be done.

Let me know what direction y'all want to take next.

[rednblack]

I can push us along to the Feathered's territory, if y'all are ready to head that way.  Otherwise, what's the plan now?

[Poindexter]

Ian doesn't really know what the plan is. He's never hunted men down before. He's hoping to be a fantastic team member more so than the plan maker.

I have to admit that I'm a little confused about what we've learned.  We've done a few things, like tailed a guy and stopped at one of the clubs, but what have we actually gained?

[SgtBoomCloud]

I may be a bit fuzzy on the details, but i believe this is more or less what we have gained as far as intel.  Please correct me of any mistakes.  I am more of a doer than a thinker in this game I admit ^^;

-We know the territories and movement patterns of two targets, as one drives for the other, and that they often converge at one club.
   -We know the layout of this club and how to get the means to get inside the VIP areas
-The third target has a little less info, but we've pinpointed a converging timeframe to have him at a different club
  -Hopeless' contact gave a bit of a layout to this place as well
-The fourth target has very little intel that we have found so far.

-The trip to the Feathered is to observe their MO, and if lucky score some inspiration or hardware to pull off the bonus objective.

I think that's it?

Are you asking just about the foray into Club Frisco, or in general?  As far as the club goes, SGTBoomCloud is correct that you got the passcode to the VIP area, and the lay of the land.  You were also able to spot where the cameras are located.

Wraith was able to gather intel on who the CI is who's ratting on one of the targets.

As for the trip to the Feathered's territory, what you're looking for is up to you guys.  No comment there from me.

[JackVII]

Let's move onto the Feathered stuff. With the pause, I really need to go back and figure out what all we know and need to determine. I probably need to put together a document of some sort. When we're in feathered territory, Wraith is mostly just going to play Matrix overwatch.

[rednblack]

@Jack, sounds good.  I'll work on an IC and get one up either today or tomorrow.

Since I'll be writing this up, and since time does not seem to be of the essence, I'm going to delay the trip until The Phoenix has slept off the negative effects of the Novacoke.  If you want to get out there quicker, then by all means that's fine too.

@All, let's go ahead and get a round of Perception Tests from everyone.  This will just be base Perception.  If you have any modifiers for Visual, Auditory, etc. roll them separately. 

If there's anything specific that your char will be looking for, make a separate Perception Test with the +3 bonus, and include any specs or augmentations that would help with discerning that specific thing/person/etc.

@Poindexter, since Mr. Hopeless has been taking his role of astral overwatch pretty seriously, give me an Assensing test as well.

@All, I think we may need a leader.  Who's willing to step up?

Perception Test: 3 Hits

While La Sombra might take the reins IC, between various projects and an upcoming Military Deployment to the Middle East, I don't want to take that on here.  I am still dedicated to staying with everyone and playing, but not taking a heavier lead in things.

[JackVII]

Wraith is going to be in VR the whole time, indexing icons and trying to figure out if the Feathered have any particular matrix-related MO (security, iconography, etc). I'm not really up on being the leader. This is literally the only thread I come back here for, I'm enjoying the game, but really finding the SR system pretty shoddy now that I've been playing a few other games lately. It really makes it hard to get excited.

[rednblack]

@Jack, sounds good.  Can I get a Matrix Perception Test or two?
