Uffington was still pretty fixated on that pizza.  It was good shit and he didn't manage to snag any.  It's distracting him from being able to recall anything useful :P

Conversely, Knucks - fueled by the pizza - manages to formulate a mini-dissertation on An Economic Analysis of Gang Turf Wars and Territorial Disputes.

Expo is able to figure out more or less the area she's talking about.  Her accent makes it hard to be sure with out cross checking against a map or something, but the general idea is there.  I'll get a post up after my next meeting.

Zwei, is there an IC coming or did you want us to keep RPing?

Err.. both?

Tec, gimme a memory check, lets see if you can remember if you've heard of the head of the Technoids (damn that name is *really* bothering me).

What's wrong with Technoids? I like it.

Logic 4 + Willpower 3 + Downers 1: 8d6t5 5 hits

Look, Orokos obviously thinks that you should  just lay out everything for Knucks, including relevant names, professions, sexual preferences, shoe sizes, and dietary restrictions, which Knucks will then formulate Sherlock-like into a comprehensive psychographic analysis of the situation.

Heheh!  FFS, Knucks knows all!!  And all hits are 5s again.  You really are lucky with 5s :P

BTW, I did like the old Domino's reference the other day, just forgot to reference.  Somewhere in a bin in some relatives house I've got an Avoid the 'Noid shirt.


Knucks remermbers the leader is a pimply faced kid that goes by WizKid.  He fancies himself a decker, but you don't know of anything he's actually done.  But he's got 15-20 younger kids that follow his lead and they've started pushing chips on the street.  Rumors have it that they are trying to get a bit into the protection game, but nobody is taking them seriously.  Maybe if the 'Kid can actually hack they might start getting somewhere, but you can't remember hearing about anything that was actually attributed to him.  But you're not that familiar with the matrix crap anyway.  Mostly it's a bunch of children trying to survive on their own in the shithole that is the 6th World.  It's almost Lord-of-the-Flies-esque except they are in the middle of SF instead of a tropical island.  Though if you squint just right, you could see the park in Protrero being a kind of island.  You wonder what's making them push out so far so fast.  6 blocks is no small land grab here.  Though there's not much of anything but barrens trash under the bridges between here and there with how steep that hill is.  As far as you know there is no specific beef between the Technoids and the Chulos other than they both are trying to move goods on the street.  Funny thing is, Chulos do mostly drugs on the streets and the Technoids are almost all chips.  You know the Chulos mostly use third parties to move their chips.  Seems like these two would make better partners than adversaries.


I have to leave some surprises right?

Love the Charlie Brown and Peter Pan call there :)  Really nicely done.  Between that and the Domino's reference, you've earned a second NERPS.

I'll double-down on that.  Really enjoyed that last IC.

I'm heading out of town this afternoon, and will be coming back late-ish on Monday.  If we get past planning between now and then, Uffington will want to check out the Technoid territory in the astral, especially since he thinks there might be some sort of werewolf thing over there that the Chulos want in repayment ;)

Mostly he just wants a head count, see if any are awakened -- or TMs should he score that high -- and get a feel for their general emotional state.  I have: INT (5) + Assensing (5) + Aura Reading Spec (2) = 12 dice.
Assencing Technoid Territory: 12d6t5 3
Well, that won't get TMs, but it will let him know the magical force of chummers or spirits around, as well as essence counts and diseases.

Hope the trip is for fun!  I'm away from my computer right now, but I'll get you the results of the recon today. I don't expect any action on that info 'till ya get back.

Also, assume Uffington will share everything he uncovers with the team, to help the planning process.

What does Knucks know about Puyallup: Intuition 5 - Defaulting 1: 4d6t5 0 hits, critical glitch!

I have no idea what a critical glitch means in this situation. Maybe he thinks he knows ALL about Puyallup.

Yeah, going with the idea that he *thinks* he knows everything about the area but doesn't actually. Though I don't know that Knucks would care about being socially awkward.

Hey, so the weekend totally got away from me and I didn't get a chance to post. I'll remedy that today. I'll have something up as soon as work allows. Sorry for the delay, guys.
