This certainly seem like kidnapping run. This is very well into shadow. Either called extraction or steal or forced translocation, whatever.

I am very interested on the feelings of each of you, and where do you as a runner put your border on how you make the money. You might even post this an IC thoughts posts. (make them teal or any other color).

so far I understand:
Stryker - have strong feelings against (bound by the Honor and mentor spirit)
Cursor - have feelings against (strange for the mercanery, but this might be the case of separation war casualties from civilian casualties)
Wilco - in between (understand the shadows are not as clear as we would like them to be)
Calico - is not against (there could not be any kind of moral reason to do this and if not you then somebody else will do the job while it would be you falling behind in bills)
Mata - is not against (he has criminal background)

You've also made enough cash in the past runs that there is no direct need for funding, there is no gun at your head (well, one near the Cursor, but there should be time enough for him to gather the cash anyway, or you could just lend him)

It is perfectly acceptable for me that your runner will weaken the team and walk away from the table for moral reasons. If there is a sufficient number of you left we'll make the run in reduced team, or just move on to the next mission.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Back in the day during her merc years Calico would probably have done it, but now after having and losing a child she won't do a kidnapping job unless there is a really good reason for it. She will continue listening to what the Johnson says before making up her mind.

EDIT: Oh and can I retcon and say calico only has her Urban Fighter on her. At the time the fact that it was an upscale restaurant slipped my mind. There would be security there.

That means majority is against by the current information you have. Leaving Wilco in between but leaning toward opting out and Mata who hasn't clearly stated himself.

If there is a security (and you're pretty sure there is) it is discreet. The bouncer at the front was a strong man dressed in suit and his only duty was to turn off obvious beggars and asking for reservations. You had one and had no problem to enter.

Chrona - I've been reading some other missions, and they keep using 15 minutes interval for data search extended tests.
We'll be using that from now on.

Argh.

Life. I've been thinking about that earlier. it's very easy to type into google a query or phrase. it is entirely different thing to find the relevant information (such the extract I've given you) in the thousands of pages and information files it returns. Even with 50 years if data search technology improvement, there is much higher curve of data generation. You may cut that time with data searching agents/sprites (teamwork tests).
and you may also cut the time by rushing the job.

searches on Ms. Johnson will be difficult a little all you have is her picture from the earlier call and her commlink code.
The dossier on the girl you already have (no need to wait 15 minutes), let's just assume you hit the Holmes school pupils listing file on the first link in nugoogle (pure luck but it happens) - and you got the results in 11 seconds.

so far I understand:

we have a draw again :) - this is exciting :)

Stryker - have strong feelings against (bound by the Honor and mentor spirit)
Cursor - surprisingly is for (somebody else may botch it down)
Wilco - in between (understand the shadows are not as clear as we would like them to be)
Calico - is against (but will be watching the kid anyway)
Mata - is not against (he has criminal background)

Sorry for a small delay ;)

I won't be lying here, just trying to convince the others...Stryker in particular. Not sure if a roll is needed or even as its PC v. PC allowed but i'll make one.

Lighters not on team, so only 14 dice.

BBCode14d6.hits(5)=4

Guess, Mata didnt really have his heart into lol  ;)

There is no first impression also. But anyway no rolls until I call for them against PCs please. If you want to convince anyone to go do it with the strength of your arguments, unless you're using something like commanding voice.

Lack of unity in the team also knocks a dice per refusing member from your payment negotiating roll. Adamant refusal from Stryker weakens you as a team. (leaving it at -6 by now, -8 if Wilco and Calico also opt out)

as for the team engagement or no, I still make it is a draw. Cursor and MT for, Wilco in between, Stryker and Calico against. The cash is for the job not per runner, so greater risk is awarded with higher pay or you have an option to hire someone as a replacement.

Calico has made her decision but she sure as hell doesn't like it.

All right.

We have the majority you make that run. Boer make your roll at -6. I'll take liberty to assume that Wilco will bend under you 'unity' and join you in your kidnapping avenues.

Once you've roll we're moving on.
