Thermo -
Eugene and Doc are beginning 'in medias res' - so a few quick questions about how we got to be where we are.
Do we have a ride - Have we obtained a SUV or similar local vehicle for the purposes of picking up Ms. J and Team 2, or have we already hired a local driver on retainer? Considering Jerry rolls with drones, I imagine that a truck of some sort would be the logical choice.
Did Ms. J give us pictures of Hyena and Jerry (and Iceblade and Lost for that matter) so that we know who our allies are going to be? Clearly for the purposes of this upcoming combat whether we know who we're assisting may prove important. (...of course not knowing may make the whole 'rescue' far more entertaining...
)
Based on my reading of Feral Cities, it seems that the key to travel in and around Lagos is looking tough enough so you don't have to show how tough you are. That being the case, it is safe to assume that Doc and Eugene are rolling in 'full battle rattle' - which is to say for Doc T carrying his M23? If that is the case, then Doc T would be willing to loan Eugene his 950 to carry strapped across his back so he looks more heavily armed, assuming Eugene would want it.
Finally, Do Doc T and Eugene have the same deal (financially) as the rest of the team, and if so, how much have they been paid already?
This is going to be fun.
You've identified a few places that have vehicles for sale. Most of them are pieces of crap, but there are some that appear to be left over from some sort of corp-funded expedition, probably a weapons expo or something similar. They're far too expensive for anyone to accept anything except Hawala tokens. Since so far people have commlinks, and even fewer have bank accounts, you're stuck with either that or certified credsticks (and even those require a commlink to verify!) Jane told you that she had made arrangements for Hawala tokens, and that she was bringing a tech-heavy rigger, so you figured you would note the locations on your commlinks and talk about it in person with the rest of the team.
Jane didn't say much about the rest of the team, only that there were 4 additional members. Two mages, a rigger, and a local merc. As you walk into the hangar and get a look at the battle taking place, it's pretty obvious who's who. There are a bunch of terrified tourists shoving to get out the doors, a bunch of Igbo in armored vests toting AK-97's, and one guy dressed like a pro kneeling down near some carnage with a gun in one hand and an AR glove on the other. The other members are nowhere to be seen, but you can tell that there's a ruckus coming from behind some splintered crates on the left-hand wall and you assume it's Igbo against one the new team members.
As you step into the room, your assumptions are confirmed as Jane transmits 4 grainy pictures of the team members, obviously taken with her commlink's built-in camera due to the upward angle of the shot.
If you'd like to have Eugene hold the rifle that's up to you, it seems unwise since he's as likely as not to try shooting an invisible spirit that's been following him ALL DAY LONG! AHHH!!!! BANG! BANG! BANGBANGBANG!!! Ahem, sorry for shooting your friend, sir, he was dressed like a Banderskooch. At least, he was a minute ago.
You have the same deal as the others; Jane arranged to have your upfront 1250 nuyen in certified cred waiting for you at the train station where you started your journey two days ago.
Travel time isn't included in the 2000 daily fee, of course. That's for hazard pay!
