*******************************************************************

@Brick:

Dustin flips out when you tell him what happened on the run but he really doesn't have any other option but to accept what happened.  He takes his money back, thanks you and bids you good day, his primary concern now being to find another way to get out of the jam he's in. 

[OOC: Drop his loyalty rating by 1 if you have him as a contact.]

@Zach:

You catch wind of a smuggling job that would take you into Salish-Shidhe country.  These are usually quite straight forward point A to point B type jobs and the pay is usually quite decent.  Your experience as a smuggler should also make you and your team a prime candidate for the job.  To inquire about the job you're given an address in Renton that comes up in a Matrix search as a car mechanic's garage.

@Tolan:

Jobs have been pretty dry lately and you'd like to lay off the Seattle streets for a little while since Mitsuhama's boys are a little hot on your trail right now.  You see a shadow-listing for a good old fashion smuggling job into Salish-Shidhe country and a trip out of the plex in order to lay low seems worth the occasional dead-zones you might encounter.  You'll miss the hum of the plex but its best to not take any risks and go make yourself scarce.  You're given an address in Renton about where to inquire.

@B: Hoi chummer. Cat grow tired a bit from rat-soup menu. What about a BBQ? CU6PM.

With this, Zach will just change the course and push the throttle to get there on time.

[Teyl_Iliar]

Brick receives the message. After 2 weeks of hunkering down, The itch to get out is starting to bother him."Gracie's downtown at 1800.", He leaves a note for his daughter telling her that he's going out, and too finish her homework. He'll be back later, with a surprise.

Brick suit's up with his armor under his long coat clipping his Karmabit to his waist band, then will pack the panther into the Rover along with his ingram X. do a GPS search for parking near gracie's before heading out to meet Zach.

@Zach:

[OOC: Roll an Edge + Intuition (3) test.]

As the Space Needle approaches you notice that you've now entered the Downtown SINner zone because an ARO alerts you and asks you to broadcast your SIN and GPS coordinates. 

[Sichr]

INT(4)+EDGE(1) (5d6.hits(5)=2)

So far for good beginning

[inca1980]

@Zach:

You ignore the AR alert to broadcast your SIN since you know very well that the only SIN you have is tagged as a wanted criminal and you just keep driving.  Within only minutes a KE patrol drone is hovering next to your bike and then makes its way right in front of you and hovers down the street keeping only about 2 meters with your face.  It blares out on loudspeaker mode:

<<Citizen, please submit to retinal scan.  Merely peer at the red AR target or look at me directly.>>

You find it comical how the drone refers to itself as me.  Nice touch KE.

[Sichr]

Shit. First I need to know if there is some area with really bad signal - some energy plant, ironworks, even large warehouse complex built wit use of metal, scrapyard, sewers or underground entrance.
Where am I:
Logic(3)+Navigation(4)+Mapsoft(5) (12d6.hits(5)=5)
Where I need to get:
Intuition(4)+Smuggling routes-Seattle(5) (9d6.hits(5)=2)
How much time I have and how should I get a bit more:
Intuition(4)+Security procedures(2) (6d6.hits(5)=4)

[inca1980]

@Zach:

With the help of an AR layout from your map-soft laid out on the wind-shield of your bike you can see that there's a power plant about a mile south of you getting close to Seatac airport....you're not sure what the Wifi signal is like down there but it's your best bet.  From your knowledge of security procedures you estimate that you might have about 1 minute to evade the drone before it gathers other drones and calls in patrol cars or even air patrol.  The drone is most definitely armed even though you can't see any visible weapons right now.  You don't have a license for your bike either so there are no plates which is a good thing at this moment but a bad thing if you get caught. 

[inca1980]

@Zach:
[OOC: Drone tries to detect you: Pilot 4 + Radar Sensor 6 + Urban Environment -1 (2)= (9d6.hits(5)=3).  Drone Initiative: Response 4 + Pilot 4 = (8d6.hits(5)=3).  Drone Vehicle Test: Response 4 + Maneuver 4 + Speed advantage + 2 = (8d6.hits(5)=1).  Roll your init and vehicle test.]

As soon as you break away to evade the drone it takes off after you.  It's radar sensors seem to have caught your signal and the chameleon coating isn't gonna do much good.   

[Socinus]

Alright.
[OOC: First off, rolling starting nuyen. [url=(3d6 x 50 for Low Lifestyle= 6,1,3, = 10 x 50 = 500 Nuyen]

Lacking a personal mode of vehicular transit, I'll take a taxi to about six blocks away from the address. Once I'm on my feet, make my way slowly up the street, keeping an eye out for anything fishy.

[OOC: Perception Test- Intuition (4) -2 for defaulting = 3,4 no hits]

[Sichr]

Vehicle test:
RE(7)+Bike(6)+AR(1)+Handling(2)-OnRoad(2) (14d6.hits(5)=3)

RE(7)+INI(4) (11d6.hits(5)=3)
Init 14

Attempt to jamming on fly to disrupt drone`s Command if any:
Signal(3)+Electronic Warfare(2) (5d6.hits(5)=2)

[inca1980]

@Zach:

Drone -----<<medium>>-----Zach
[OOC:  You go first.  You won the vehicle test so you can change the Engagement range.  I'll assume you're going from Short to Medium.  For your first complex action you attempt to jam on the fly.  Drone: Signal = (4d6.hits(5)=2).  You don't score any net hits so it doesn't work for this complex action.   Remember you have to spend at least one Complex Action per combat turn controlling your vehicle and you can choose to do a special Maneuver from the list on pg. 170 SR4A.  Also remember that if you're successful with jamming on the fly your comm can't be used for anything else during that period and your Signal for jamming drops of by 1 for every 5 meters so you can only jam til about 15 meters.  The drone's at about 20 m right now.]

You try and generate static with your comm and spit it into the channels that the drone might be using but you can't seem to be hitting the right frequencies.  You pop the clutch and your bike shoots forward putting a little bit more distance between you and the drone which is flying after you. 

It keeps on chasing you but doesn't seem to be taking offensive measures yet. 

[inca1980]

@Firewall:

The taxi drops you off a block away from the Renton address you have for the job.  God you love the city.  You wince at the thought of being without the constant hum of spam bouncing off your mental filters....the buzz of Wifi massaging the back of your neck.  But 15,000¥ ain't chump change and your lenders don't fuck around.  With Mitsuhama so hot on your trail it's either stay in town and get geeked, or rough it in the country side with deadzone headache and make a little money while your at it.

You look around a little paranoid and then make your way down the block.  The address is an old dirty car and drone shop that's very typical for this part of Renton.  The side door is open and you walk in.  Making sure to duck under hoses and lifts you make your way in and see a dwarf with black hair and dark skin wearing goggles and welding something with a laser.  When he sees you he turns it off and pulls up his goggles. 

"What do you want?"

[Sichr]

OK. Id rathes stop playing with electronics and spend 2 IP trying to Maneuver to gain some advantage:

RE(7)+Bike(6)+AR(1)+Handling(2)-OnRoad(2)
(14d6.hits(5)=5,
14d6.hits(5)=6)
