Okay, maybe its a SR term or an english word with another meaning I don't know yet, but what is a figurehead? I only know it as the wooden figure infront of old sailing vessel.

BTW: Give Space the comand and he can try this self-destruction in the building node. ;D
as a figurehead i meant the person who hired the ex-LoneStar team to ambush us in the club.

not until Andromeda arrives or KE

From Wikipedia, because my English is not so eloquent. :D

Quote
In politics, a figurehead is a person who holds an important title or office yet executes little actual power, most commonly limited by convention rather than law.
<snip some stuff>
The word can also have more sinister overtones, and refer to a powerless leader who should be exercising full authority, yet is actually being controlled by a more powerful figure behind the throne.

I'll ask here as I don't know where I can find it, but what's Habu.  I've seen it a couple of times in the IC topic and I assume it's a car of some sorts, but what does it look like exactly?  I assume that if I'm in the car with Andromeda and the rest, I will see it when she switches.

Also if Hank joins Andromeda, does that mean Little Joe and Kitten have to go on on their own to drop the body.  You guys trust a new arrival to go along like that (especially since Kitten doesn't know much about the job and any particularities negotiated with Mr. J)?

It's a Zugmaschine.  18-wheeler.  No one but Rommy knows this yet.

Rommy will be traveling with the rest of us bodily while she rigs her way over to the safehouse in her other vehicle.  I think.

Sure, no problem.  But then Hank can't join her, can he?
Sorry for all the questions, but stepping in in the middle of a run is confusing at times, especially in PbP.

Actually, reading it now, it looks like a full vehicle switch.  Seems the plan is to drive to the other car, switch to it and send the sedan on autopilot.

As Habu has the best autopilot, I would rig the sedan. And Hank will be the first to use Habu, but you all will get the info dump on the big fellow.
And Kitten should have a fun trip with LJ/AD.

Then LJ and Kitten will also see the big truck (cool thing to have though).  So it depends whether Hank will go with you or not.  And if someone annoys Kitten too much, there's always stunbolt (an overpowered spell if I ever saw one).

EDIT: can someone put a short synopsis of what we're supposed to be doing at the moment, either here or in game (I think I've asked it in one of my IC posts), so I know what to do.

Not sure you know what you are talking about, neither would i saying LJ could take you, just a match could prove one of us right,

This is getting unneededly complicated and not advancing while the safe house bit is.

Angela, Andromeda, Hank and Kitten are either going to Doctor Boyle's together

OR

Angela and Kitten go to Doctor Boyle's Clinic while Andromeda and Hank go to the safe house. (taking this option will make both sides late while you switch vehicles).

Really the decision is Artighur's

@Chrona: Your post didn't say anything about databombs or the self-destruction, is this intentional?

I assume Space know the physical lockation of the drones and the building node since he scanned for them already.

No Databombs and you can't tell what he self destruct activates

Nodes don't let you pinpoint an object, even Track leaves you with a radius, you just know there are 2 in there.

looks like he goes with me. extra storeaway space and hands to load. And if there are problems with the Sedan i am a better prepared rigging from habu.
And it makes lots more RP sense.

So in other words, Space has to go through the house and use his commlink to tell him if he gets nearer to the node or not, to somehow triangulate the node.
