I didn't mean to say disturbed was power metal.
Sabaton is power metal - but Indestructible just fitted better at this particular moment 

[Mulcarn]

I got my eye on you.  Mr. I don't listen to black metal but instead choose disturbed as my victory theme song. 

[Jack_Spade]

This... this is not victory.
That is survival, pure and simple.

But if I get my will, you'll soon hear this...
and  this


You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction

Acting like a robot,
It's metal brain corrodes.
You try to take it's pulse,
Before the head explodes.
Explodes...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction

Somewhere along the way I failed to teach you how to be brutal.  Looks like i'll have to try that again soon.

[Jack_Spade]

I'll reply with one of my favorite quotes from Robert Heinlein:

""If you wanted to teach a baby a lesson, would you cut its head off? Of course not. You'd paddle it. There can be circumstances when it's just as foolish to hit an enemy city with an H-bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an axe. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him...but to make him do what you want to do. Not killing...but controlled and purposeful violence."

If you teach me about brutality, I'll teach you about control

There's definitely a viking in your ancestry just shaking his head at you.  He's probably wondering what the hell happened to his bloodline.

[Jack_Spade]

Actually my ancestors are mostly Germanic Celts with a few dashes of Romans intermixed.
They'd approve the use of tactics above violence 

[Mulcarn]

I only know two modes of attack.  Frontal assault and death by frontal assault.  In fact, that's the only two you ever need.  I choose frontal assault, which will you choose?

Hit and run, touch and go, smash and grab, nuke it from orbit

@Kynos:
Feel free to fluff getting him out of the plane - and taking a few days to move the logistics.
Below is my sum up of the financial reward for the run:

The augmentations on Venom should net you around 50k after making him an urn. You have to extract them before burning him. So you'd likely want to sell the very expensive synaptic boosters, titanium bones and what ever you can selvage out of his body. Some things will not burn - and after he had a bomb in his head nobody will take the chance and burn him before you remove these.

Finestra is very good for fencing equipment and making sure you get payed post run. So I assume that 50k includes her negotiation skills and networking to fence the stuff.

Physical loot include a:
With his sleeping Tiger that Kynos took off worth 13.5k like you mentioned. Will need to be refitted to Kynos size tough). If I understand correctly there is no significant other loot.

IT will deliver 100k for killing him + 35k for the package and you can kick her  +1 loyalty. You can also kick DemoX +1 loyalty and add Finestra as connection 3 loyalty 1. 
Strawberry is obviously no longer a contact but it is difficult to please every one.

The loot is divided into 30 credsticks of 4500 nuyen each (if that makes a difference). 

Casa's take is 80k (60k for the lift + 20k from DemoX's share) Finestra gets 20k and Kynos gets 20k.  There is a secret sum of 15k that DemoX hid from Casa (dwarf need to make a living somehow) that Kynos will need to decide how to handle. He can either share it just with DemoX - or report it to Finestra. Unfortunately Finestra is very loyal to casa and if Kynos tell her about this money she'll tell casa and DemoX will not see his share. In that case Kynos will get 5k.

It places us at 27.5k if you go with DemoX and at  25k if you tell Finestra/Casa. In that case he'll take DemoX'es share. Damages to Casa's plane are about 20k so after considering the loot from Venom's own body. You have  30k  split 3 ways - (casa has no claim to that money) so 10k each.
So if I did calculation correctly, Kynos can add 37.5k-35k nuyen to his char sheet + a sleeping tiger suit that he earlier took from Venom.

Moreover - for completing the run Kynos receives 6 additional karma.
Does that seem right ?

[Jack_Spade]

I'm happy with that.
Kynos won't rat DemoX out on this - it's not as if he was obligated to disclose the extra arrangement.

I'll write up the aftermath once I get home.

[Jack_Spade]

Oh, another thing:

Can I have one of the Red Hot Nukes change ownership of the Transsys Avalon commlink that I got of the mercenary? I'd trade in my Blue Defender.

Also, since it's been nearly a week, is my quarter master contact taking customers again?

[gilga]

Feel free to call him, he'll tell you what happened at the military base.
Okay about the transys avalon.

[gilga]

Updated first page to reflect Jack's 6 karma reward for completing the kill Venom run.

@gilga

Kynos is not in the restaurant. He is across the street on a tin roof watching the restaurant. But Alfred has his micro-transceiver frequency.
