Nifty character, interesting story.  Welcome aboard.

Looks like everyone's ready to rock and roll.

At last! Dinosaur island, here we come!

[Rockopolis]

Hmm...I'm thinking of a missed opportunity, something to keep in mind for next time.  Advertising blitz for the park, have it in the background before the start.  Perhaps on a blimp; "A new life, on the dinosaur colonies!"

Okay, first serious IC post down.

As for my schedule, I've really got to cut back on weekday posts, as tempting as they are, in favor of weekend posts.

Nice one... Even though we knew from the start what this would be about, I still feel like I should already be making a new character

@group: Silk doesn't like negotiating for money until she knows what she's negotiating about... the more problems we discover, the more nuyen we can squeeze out. (Besides, if any of you want to aid at the negotiation dice roll, you probably need to at least give her some backup; if not by speaking yourselves then at least by giving her some extra ammo to fire at the Johnson.)

Data search, Dino Island, Computer(1)+Browse(4) (5d6.hits(5)=2)
Not really looking for that much, she'll let the techies do that, Silk really just wanted an idea of what the place is. She doesn't know it, at all, so info from the main page of the place itself is really useful (like, now she knows it's an corp owned private island/theme park, most buildings still under construction, about 250km²... anything else?)

About the 70k... anyone really think that's 70k EACH?
I mean, personally I'm like, hell no... just asking "Do you mean 70k each?" would lose me 2 dice in negotiations for obviously not having an idea what 'runners get paid.

Data searches are usually a limited extended test with no glitches. so you'd get 4 more rolls, 4d6, 3d6, 2d6, 1d6.

She's not doing that, she needs results immediately. 1 seconds intervals, so 4 seconds search, then time to read all that stuff...
She needs to know the basics so she wouldn't confuse the run with some movie she saw as a kid; thinking, shouting out (inaudible) orders: all takes up time and waiting 10 seconds for someone to say something to the Johnson just wouldn't be right.
She can buy some time while you guys do that kind of stuff; the deep searches are for the pro's anyways.

[Chrona]

I was just letting you know

[Xzylvador]

*Nod* Thanks.
Going to wait for (some of?) the rest of you guys to take some actions and for Johnson and/or searches to provide some more information. Should be checking out every hour or two unless sleeping.

About Gaunt's suspitions: if true, yeah, we'll need a lot more; just the sins and lifestlye costs will be higher than 10k/person. (Well, for those of us that aren't squatting anyways :p)
I was hoping the island not to be owned (directly or as subsidiary) by a triple-A corp. Wiring dinos as drones doesn't sound like there's much chances of that though... let's see what info we get.

Edit: Hopefully Tenzin will be there shortly... right now he can still have joined with the rest of us; pretty much like Juicer did. Will be difficult to negotiate payment for 7 when there's only 6 of us present.
Also, negotiations:
- I'm with SichrLK on trying for 105kY... half up front? (I don't think you meant the 105k PLUS the 50k expenses?)
- Not sure I want to try for the whole security package Nomad asked for, won't the Johnson just reply "Not being caught is your job."?
- Was also going to ask if he had any info -or even better, a contact- on the inside. Don't want to spam with questions though, so that'll be until we get a reply on the first.
-- I do agree that we should get more info out of Johnson himself... the data searches just make it easier to know what to ask, or to verify how far we can trust him to tell the truth.

@Rockopolis: Do I always have to mention that Silk's trying to judge intentions on the people she's dealing with? Not sure if this is an automatic thing or not...

Roll to see what I know of any species that get mentioned in the Johnson's dossier, discovered in the team's data searches, or mentioned in conversation: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2924924/

Rockopolis, what rules are you using for defaulting on matrix skill tests, just program rating or one of the optional rules like program rating -1? Also, are you using the optional -1 cumulative penalty per roll on extended tests rule for all extended tests? People have differing opinions on these rules, so just checking... I'm personally not used to degrading extended test rolls on things like data searches, climbing, etc, where basic real life tasks are now impossible unless you're highly skilled.

I'd like Juicer to get his browse program searching up basic public info on Dino World, but Browse 3 can't even hit the threshhold for public knowledge depending on the rules we're using.

EDIT: Oh, and I'll stick close to Xzyl's format for the IC colors: "green normal speech", teal encrypted comm channel , blue general/other matrix, italic private thoughts.

So it had started.
Ive just come back from hospital, good news are that complications are cured. not so sure that it is the better news that that means next monday I will undergo some surgery (alpha upgrade, thats for sure) so next week it may be difficult for me to reach net and this game. But ill do my best. Back to the game...

[Ten-Hex]

RE: needing new fake SINs - this should not be a problem as long as our hacker can wipe/corrupt the SIN listings that will be in our fake reservation (if we go that route) on our way out. If we can get free cover IDs set up as part of the negotiation, that's icing on the cake.

[Presidentevil133]

Possible. Another, slightly more difficult option is we check into the island, take our party bus and party rover, disguise ourselves, and just don't do anything illegal unless were disguised.

But that will cost some money for masks, nanopaste disguise, etc. and isn't a sure thing.

Third option, don't get caught ever. But whether that's possible is a field decision.

EDIT: Surgery? Damn, that sucks. Good luck Sichr, and get well soon!

[Xzylvador]

Surgery? Damned... missed that.
Yeah, good luck and best of health and all those whishes!

[Sichr]

Thanx, I`ll be OK, but Ill be cut off line for 5 days. Massive mind damage alert!!![/color]
