Just to make sure we're all on the same page, Ace's check shouldn't turn up anything, as he's Wireless Off again when they were preparing for Canon to show up.

When I say check your surroundings, I mean look for suspicious and/or hidden icons in your physical vicinity.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

Think that was for me.

And that's why he was checking everyone (himself included) for marks.  AFAIK you still need a mark (well, two actually) to trace folks.

Everyone is free to make rolls as they see fit.

Someone could relay the news about the first million to Ace via micro-transceiver.

I'd like IC posts up today or early tomorrow so that I can advance things tomorrow afternoon or evening.

[Malevolence]

My IC is up. I hope I haven't made too many assumptions. If I've rolled over a point that Cannon (or another NPC) wishes to jump in, let me know what I should change and I'll do it. Also, if any of you guys object to my actions, your characters are free to jump in IC or OOC with their cautions. I just wanted to bring us up to where Tec's post had left off, but some of Ohanzee's statements might invoke a response.

[Tecumseh]

Your post is great, Mal.

I'd like an IC post from Poindexter to remove the device, even if it's brief, as that is a fairly pivotal moment and requires a degree of agency. Poindexter could, of course, decide that Sam goes berserk and triggers the device. That's within his purview.

I'll let rednblack and Poindexter add add any color to the proceedings they wish.

EDIT: I thought the plan was to leave the bomb on until we were away. I thought the world as we know it was our hostage until we were safe.

[Zweiblumen]

That's what the dead-man-switch is for.  The bomb was to make sure they gave us the ¥¥.  They've given us the cash, now we take off the bomb with the threat of haunting them if they backstab us.

[Tecumseh]

There is little to no chance that they are going to let you leave with the cash AND Sam's device still in place. That would be the equivalent of them leaving with the obelisk and promising to send payment once they are safely away.

[Poindexter]

gotcha. Makes sense now. Post incoming.

[Tecumseh]

Poin, was that a real post or a pretend post you were working on?

Sorry, just got home from work. Posted as soon as I got home.

[Tecumseh]

Thank you, Poindexter.

The next IC post is up. This is the official conclusion of Tabula Rasa (!). We can continue to RP for as long as people like but everything after this point is epilogue. I imagine that we'll have a reunion of the RVs in Grand Junction and then the PCs will go their separate directions.

I'm leaving town for the holiday weekend but I should have Internet access the whole while. Everyone is encouraged to post ICly. Once everyone has said what they want I'll hand out the final karma awards for Chapter IV.

[rednblack]

Wow.  This is the first time I've ever been in a PbP game that came to a conclusion.  Thanks to everybody -- especially our awesome GM -- for that.

It might take me a little while to figure out how I want to leave Ace, but what are everyone's thoughts on how far we want to go before closing the thread?  Are we going to re-unite and leave things at the border of the PCC?  At camp?  A retrospective from a year from now?
