Sorry, might be my English failing here... 'one and one' would mean 'one hundred and one thousand', right?
Then that 101k doesn't include the 35k for delaying the opening, right? If so, that's less than what we were offered before... So I'm guessing not.

Or is it one (hundred thousand) for the mission and another one (hundred thousand) for the delaying... that sounds like a lot then.

Also, metagamey: not sure how this negotiation rolling plays out really... since I rolled for Silk (and she's talking for the group), this is what we get? Counteroffers possible? New/more rolls needed? (I kind of figured this part over now, time to say 'You'll hear from us soon.' and start planning.)

One hundred thousand and one hundred thousand, yes.  He was just shortening it.

There are rules for negotiating, similar to the negotiation on purchasing prices in the Gear section in the back of the book, but frankly, I figured, excellent roll, I'll just kick it up a large amount.  He's bargaining that the expenses come out of your share, though.

I (and he) was hoping this would be big enough to stop negotiations.

Yeah. I mean, we talked him up almost 3x for disabling the park. That's a downright amazing gain. Heh, wonder whats going on in his head right now...

If Silk reads that from his face, she'll be pretty damned pleased... time to party ;)

Yeah, pretty much.

"What the hell, if they die, I'm only out a twenty grand.  If they win, I get..." whatever his cut is.

Would add that she walks out now, back towards the bar and waits there...
Just not 100% sure this is done and done. If it is, consider that part of the post, will edit and add that later.
(Silk would know, of course)

Cool.  His side is done, so it's up to you guys now.

Let's see...Riley, what exactly are you looking for about him?  What you can find about him seems like it's been written with the help of PR or the legal department.  Kinda boring.  MIT&T grad, seems to change corporations or holding companies every couple years, seems to like big game hunting...

The parent corporation, is, of course, Aztechnology.  What other data searches were there?

Probably should have been more specific, I was looking for more research stuff. Papers with his name on, lectures he's given, articles in "scholarly" publications about his work. That sort of thing.

Biosciences, mostly.  Stuff you'd have to make an Academic Knowledge to understand, or at least read without your eyes glazing over. ;D

Silk is always touchy, isnt she?

I left some time after you, so you probably didnt even noticed my words to Johnson. And it wasn my need to have any last word. Just assuring him Ill be in touch about details and Im taking this serriously.

And about the other part. Do what you want. For me the work just began. As far as we didnt deserved anything yet. All we have is nearly impossible job whith the risk that at least the half of us dies on that fuckin island.

Im glad that Lochkid isnt able to read your inner thinkinks. Because if he would be he would think you are irresponsible anoying bitch who mistakes reflecting water surface for real stars.

Silk is touchy and all those other things you say about her (minus the irresponsible part, she cares about her reputation and professionality more than anything.).
She's also very good at hiding those thoughts and emotions. But she does keep score.

I know, Silk knows too. The problem is that she said that already. LochKid saying it again means (at least to her) that he's trying to establish a leadership position. If LochKid keeps that up, they will clash eventually... Not that she wants to be the official leader of the group.
(I know LochKid considers himself a leader, and the rest might too. So yes, she will vent her frustration about that and annoy LK from time to time, it's either that or she keeps it all buried until it's too much to keep inside, that would work for a while, but in the end it'll be a lot worse.)

Don't take it personal, just playing her character.

If me posting her inner thinkings is a problem to you (or anyone else), please let me know and I'll try to refrain myself...
It would be a problem if the rest reacted to her as if they knew those thoughts.
I just share them because well, it's part of who she is and the "story" she's part of, and so people know why she acts the way she does (Sorry, I'm a storyteller kind of player with Silk I guess). Also to show the GM that I'm taking her Vindictive quality seriously, not just as a free 10BP. She's also more sensitive about social things than she would be about other things.

Understood. Just another painfull morning, so im a bit out of mood. About the leadership. If it has to be done, it would be my Leadership + Charisma +/ Empathy sensor against yours Leadership + Willpower and vice versa.
Im just acting like that because Im not dice lover and I think this should be handled by roleplay...we will go to hell and back so it would be usefull :)

Funny is...
You would be beteer when leading the people to certain death, that is for sure. I would be better in following and achieving goals. Our cooperation is necessary. Perfect duo while cooperating...lets get over this in IC...

@President: Should you be able to find goto to some of his former colleagues? Someone who should know him personaly and should give us more details on personal background and passions of our dear doctor? Interesting part is about this Big Game hunting passion - maybe some trophies? Hunt mates?

@Ten-Hex - what about some interesting trophy game in that area?

Heh, that part only troubled silk... not some scared little scientist, but a scientist with an elephant rifle... on top of Aztec guards and dinobots. Joy.
