Eh, maybe Sundance will just wind up stick-n-shocking you guys, then we'll meet up again later and work together 

[Kontact]

Yeah, this isn't an opposing purpose, just a crossed purpose.  Team 2's job is to make sure that Rat isn't harmed.  Team 1's job currently involves them trying to question Rat about where he acquired a blueprint.

Team 1 has chosen to do this by taking him away somewhere to question him, and if he wakes up in the back of a van without the people he paid to protect him anywhere to be found, then Team 2 has failed in their task and is out 9 grand apiece.  The final pot on this thing is 160 grand plus a personal favor from a Prime Runner though..

Where am I when switch hears the voice?

[Kontact]

In the room/courtyard.  Psi had written Jink into the courtyard while you guys would have been intercepted before you actually got out of Rat's apartment.  I didn't realize that one of the outside people had already gone in until after I ended combat turns.

Anyway, he's got the drop on Switch and you guys don't have LoS with him.

You do know that Motoko isn't going to just let anyone get in the van, yes? She's in a real cranky mood, so she will seal you all in the building until the Knights get there before letting Vanian get in someone else's vehicle.

[UmaroVI]

Post in the IC thread I guess?

[funkytim]

I'm assuming nobody can see Vanian.  What happens when we take him out of the building and have to pass through the astral barrier?

[Kontact]

Sundance can see Vanian since he made his spell resistance roll.  The spell will either fail when it hits the barrier, or the barrier will fail.  Or you could drop the spell and recast it if necessary. 

Either way, the gnome with the guns knows right were Vanian is.

We're still sort of in CTs since Makoto is hacking the building while a gunner is running toward her position.  That's a situation that still needs to be resolved.

[Psikerlord]

Assuming at some point the group heads off with Vanian, here is Jink's street knowledge check to find a suitable place to hole up with their quarry/evade the authorities/others tracking them: Street knowledge safe houses check (6d6.hits(5)=3)

[Mirikon]

Motoko gave up on hacking, and is simply covering the door with a sniper rifle. And a bad attitude.

[funkytim]

Can Sundance see me and can I read the recent text messages on my comm?

[Kontact]

As long as you have image link available on some sort of eyeware, you can read text messages without it being a thing.  Even if not, you could stare at your link if you like.  As far as seeing Sundance, you can maneuver to the point where you could see him eventually.  He seems to have dropped his guard and turned off his blur suit.

If you want to act against him, you'll have to beat him on initiative.

[Cato]

We don't REALLY need to kill each other.

[Kontact]

In fact, it would be a very poor decision to try and kill each other as none of you can be certain that they would not die attempting it.

[Mirikon]

She didn't assume the thing that was thrown at her was harmless. She assumed it was a grenade, and took appropriate measures (i.e. moving the van out of the likely blast radius). And I am not trying to disrupt the game. I'm trying to get paid, since you wouldn't let me get the sniper who wrecked the drone that was going to be the primary way I interacted with the situation inside the building. If the situation is contentious, it is because you set two teams on different objectives. Right now, my objective is to get Vanian in my van, so we get paid. I have no cameras on the outside of the van, so I don't know that there's a device now attached to the van, unless that is something the vehicle sensors would detect. I can metagame if you want, but I'm trying to play my character accordingly.
