@Slip, you get a certified credstick worth 900 newyen, a hermes Ikon com(will tell you what is on it when you get a chance to sit with it for a bit, A pair of AR gloves in his pocket, and the Ares Predator IV when Korbin/Oliver gets it to you.

@Korbin: To jot down the picture you saw you would need to use edit software and make the test with Intuition + Artisan (capped by your edit program) this is an extended test with a 10 Minute interval and a 15 threshold. For the gun you have the AR claim check so you will have no problem retrieving the it from the front.

@Jace: you have no problems hacking the com and setting up a new admin account for Slip.

@Operator: Palms are greased and as far as you can tell you look like your in the clear.

@Korbin <Muzzle-Korbin> Thanks for the heads up, I will.

@Operator <Muzzle-Operator>Yep that's it, I usually don't bring everyone to a meet, but it is your call being a new team and all. I will pass you his access ID so you can reach him. just let him know where the call is coming from so he doesn't cut and run or something.

@slip <shaker-slip>Sounds good, just give me a call when you have time for recovery.

[Triggvi]

OCC: with a sim module and trodes (DNI) shouldn't it be an easier process to save the picture to his comlink? Could I use my computer+(intuition or Logic) and add my enhanced perception (Cap by edit) possibly. As in he is controlling the picture and composite rendering in his mind and not drawing on a pad. Korbin is big on detail.

Korbin has eidetic sense memory, multitasking and 3 dimensional memory.

@Jace> Do you have the connections that can to get me a R5 Edit program with 2 levels of optimize for my Erika Elite comlink. I need it clean of manufacturers tags. I have a long term project I need it for.

[Teyl_Iliar]

spliting up the credstick, 40 goes back to Slip, 275 will go to Operator, after that there's 585 left over. 585/4=146.25 to keep things neat, Jace will get 147 everyone else gets 146. For now I'll see what the bottom line is after I pawn the things I'm not keeping.

Renton, 3:17 am


Calvin pumped his fists into the air, silently exuberant. Whatever yelp of triumph he wanted to utter disintegrated into a long yawn, ending with the crackling of his jaws. Bleary eyed, he began stretching to loosen the muscles that were now starting to protest from inactivity.

Above, a twisting holo-image hovered, full of streaks, waves, and flowing shapes of all sorts. It was called a "map" in the parlance of the Explorers (a subsect of the Chaos Magic movement): the map was a visual representation of a spell's astral signature, though not quite so literally drawn. It was as if an expressionist cartographer wanted to capture an ever-changing seascape and all the islands, and the tidal patterns, and also if maybe sometimes if it was a sea of cats instead of water.

Maddening to any non-Awakened person and only mildly disconcerting for those who studied spell formulae. It was more art than math, where the purpose was to chart a course to understand the seas rather than master the waves themselves, often yielding easier results.

Ohh sweet merciful crap! Finally! Calvin beamed to himself. I can now shoot lasers from my eyes!



7:44 am

His cheap commlink's buzzing was fully accompanied by the rather brusque drawing of the curtains. It was a bargain buy at only twelve nuyen, but now it left him blinded by sunlight when it wasn't raining. And thankfully, it was.

Four hours wasn't enough, but the day had to begin. He still had a Warding job to do at ten, and that plus the nap he'd need afterwards, would take up his early afternoon.

Oddly, it felt as if a whole day had passed in the intervening four hours. He'll begin the day as he always does with a physical stretching regimen and light cardio, probably jumping jacks again, and some Krav Maga drills. Then, shower and breakfast with a holopuzzle to sharpen the mind. Then finally, a quick magical "stretch" of mana shaping and astral watching.

He always began the day perfecting his control of his mind and body in a vain attempt to control the day itself.

Calvin Morris is living openly under that name, as a registered SINner. He lives in an apartment complex in the not-quite-as-nice area of Renton with a business license as an "Magical Security Consultant". His day job is creating Force 3 or lower Wards for local Renton businesses. Usually small offices who want a magical safety blanket from other competitors.

His apartment is spacious but not close to luxurious. He'll step out in business casual clothing, a blazer over a clean boring business blue shirt and khakis.

Equipment:

Business Casual Clothes
Form-Fitting Body Armour
Ares Predator IV (Skinlinked, Silencer, Melee Hardening, Personalized Grip) in a Concealable Holster
Ammo: Stick-n-Shock (Loaded), Ex-Ex (Spare Clip with holster)
Defiance EX Shocker (Strapped on belt, not hidden)

Electronics
Meta Link with Vector Xim (Real) - SIN: Calvin Morris (Legit), Business License (Legit, Magical Security Consultant), Fake License 4 (Ares Predator IV, Concealed Carry, Foci). Carried in coat pocket. Skinlink option.
Novatech Airwave with Iris Orb (PAN) - No SIN, coordinates all skinlinked equipment. Strapped to body above left ankle. Does not broadcast, ever.
Novatech Airwave with Iris Orb (Comm) - No SIN, Private mode. Placed in body armour flap at small of back, directly against skin. Used to access the Matrix and for shadow communications. Skinlinked.

Contact Lenses (Smartlink, Imagelink, Flare Compensation) - Subscribed to all three commlinks.
Earbuds (Audio Enhancement 3, Select Sound Filter) - Subscribed to PAN and Comm.
Microsensor (Disguised as a button on jacket. Directional Microphone) - Crime of opportunity tool in case Calvin is allowed to work near a boardroom and so on.

Trodes - Real commlink
Nanopaste Trodes - Transparent, for PAN and Comm.

Sustaining Focus (2) - Health, adhesively attached just above small of back.

Will post my full character sheet later. Sorry to join in this late and to be obsessive about the gear.

@Nadir> How is life? What have you been upto? I may have a job for you if you are interested?

[Ethan]

<Nadir--Korbin> Korbin, long time man. Life's... life. How about you? Just finished a bit of a break so I'm free to work. What's the job?

[Operator]

<@Slip> Sure, I'll take a look at it tomorrow. That should be more entertaining than explaining to would-be clients that I don't modify weapons to be used as kitsch fashion statements.

<@Korbin> Slip is reimbursing me, but thank you for the offer.

<@Muzzle> Copy that.

Operator slipped on his bike helmet, riding off into the night-lit streets.

[Triggvi]

<Nadir--Korbin> Korbin, long time man. Life's... life. How about you? Just finished a bit of a break so I'm free to work. What's the job?

@Nadir>I am not completely sure yet. We will be meeting with the person hiring us tomorrow night. It looks like a team event. They needed a mage and your name came up and they are interested in meeting you. If you are in I will get you more details.

@Operator> I need to brush up on my Akido. It has been a while. Do you know someone?

[dashifen]

<@Korbin> "Let me see what I can figure out on that program."

Jace will send a message to his contact Jax (C1,L2) and see if he has anything on hand that might meet Korbin's needs.  If Jax comes up empty, he'll run a data seach against the 2072 version of Craigslist to see what he can find.  Edit's legal so that might work out.

Data Search: Korbin's Edit (13d6.hits(5)=5)

Also, today is my wife's graduation from Vet Med, so like yesterday when we entertained 14 of our closest family members, I'll be pretty busy today until after dinner.  I'll see if I can pop back on again before I crash this evening to see what I've missed.

[Redwulfe]

Jace: You can get the program with optimization through legal channels by just buying it at a store but you would have to crack the copyright protection and registration option off of it yourself. Jax already has a copy cracked but would need time to apply an optimization patch for the option your requesting, cost would be book + 20% You can try to negotiate that down if you wish. You can also find a open source version of the program with optimization for half the book price, but it is rating 4. The only thing you find on Craig's List 2072 is used versions of commercial software so their risky and still need to be cracked and patched with the option.

@trigvi- Yes, Sim module/DNI do make it easier to actually use the com, allowing you to do other things while using it.  I.e. Input and Output become easier to do, but they can't read memories form the brain directly. If you had a Sim Rig you could record your sensory input as it is happening, while you are receiving the input, and then to later edit and that would be commuter test with a lower threshold and interval, but to actually use edit software to draw, even with a mental brush, something that you remember I still feel requires artistry. Since it is a portrait it is something intricate so the threshold is 15. I used the build and repair chart to find this and added 3 due to it being a memory you are working from and not a detailed schematic laying out before you. due to your eidetic sense memory I will consider you to have the schematic and the threshold is now a 12. remember it is really had to fail an extended test I just want to know how long it will take to do. and see if you glitch somewhere along the way. basically you may be able to recall his face in perfect detail but your artistic skills may give you a drawing that is less than accurate and harder for those you show it to to identify the person.

@ Slip: Anything you fence gives you 30% of the cost of the item. One thing as a common sense note is that you may want to leave the pistol with Hammer, he may not be able to remember the events in the room but he won't stop trying to track down that pistol if he is able. If his pistol is with him though he will thank his stars and move on more than likely. He's not that bright. to wonder why the robbers didn't take her and you got enough of his memory to know that he doesn't even remember being called for the meet.

@ Ethan: welcome to the game. hope you have fun.

Just waiting on Sichr to continuue on.

[Triggvi]

OCC: Even today the police have software to do composites. I don't see the police using artisan to use one of those at least not much. The extended test is an impossible test for him with a 4 Dice Pool with only 3 rolls possible. This not making a portrait this using a pen and paper. To do a Police Drawing with program designed exactly for that. This not creating a work of Art.

Your Optional rules.
6. Each roll on an extended test reduces the dice pool by 1, cumulatively.

[Operator]

<@Korbin> You have a handful of options. Max's Ironworks in Auburn has a couple of guys who are interested in sparring sessions. Most prefer boxing, but the gym won't turn you down if you have interests outside of pure pugilism. Mr. Czernak has seen all styles and has the scars to show for it.

Second, our evening guest distracted me from sharing any further details about myself. I also study unarmed combat, and have done so for quite some time. I have a military background, and military history is one of my favorite hobbies.

Finally, there's Slip. When she admitted to having preference for hand-to-hand, she was being modest. We both practice Krav Maga and Slip has a long running start over me.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Since Hammer is wanted by KE and we left him for "drunk" passed out behind the Alabaster maiden, I also forgot to roll for duration it's 20x1D6 minutes so I'll roll that now,1d6=5 so he's going to be out for at least another hour and 10 minutes. It shouldn't take KE more than 5 minutes to respond to a call about a drunken SINless ork harassing people near a popular downtown Seattle hot spot right? Slip was planning on tipping off the knight's to his presence anyway. Since he's already wanted for prior transgressions and he doesn't remember us he'll have more pressing issues once the knights have him.

(Slip figures if he gets gift wrapped to the knights they won't turn him down considering he ghosted them once already. She's a little conflicted about ratting a fellow meta to the knights, but she wouldn't do this to another runner if he wasn't planning on selling her wholesale to ghouls. End of the story to her is he's scum and if dropping him to the knights makes Seattle that much safer for her, her friends and other meta's then burning him is a small price to pay.)

@ dashfen grats to your wife sir.

[Triggvi]

Korbin will meet them at the cafe in 15 minute and wait on the composite rendering.

Slip and korbin are thinking the same thing.

@Slip> I will need the gun a little longer. maybe 24 hrs. I intend to bring down the leggers. so no one else gets chopped up by them. I am planning on tipping the KE boys on this guy. I thought serial killers were monsters.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Slip sit's across the table from Jace, sipping on her cocoa when Oliver walks through the door.

<@ Oliver>As long as I can have it back later, that's fine but I would like it back as soon as you're done. Operator was going to give me an appraisal for it tomorrow if it's not back before then I'll just reschedule with him for after his plans that night. If you're interested in taking down his friends too, do you have any KE contacts? You could throw one a bone and hand him this Drekker on a platter. Taking down an organ legging operation would make him look damn good, and that'd be a hell of a favor to return. But you might want to move fast on Hammer, theres no telling how long he'll be out for, could be 20 minutes could be 2 hours, no way to tell.
