I'll look through the gear list and tell you what, if anything, is NOT available due to the damage of the grenade. His armor is fragged, and his commlink is too. Most of his gear was stored in his duffle bag, so it should be available. I'll leave it to you all to split it up, but don't try to carry 50 kg extra gear just because it's "free" - I guarantee it'll be counter-productive 

As for the foci, I'll allow you guys to split them up as you see fit. You can keep them or sell them, but for the sake of team unity I'd suggest at least offering them to Awakened characters before selling them. You can always sell them at the end of the run once you're done using them. This is up to you as a team, though.

To spend your Karma, it depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to learn a new martial art or a brand new skill, you'll need to tell me how you're going to do it. If it's advancement of an existing skill, especially once you're used already on this run, I'll likely allow it without any issue. Same goes for attributes. You'll have a little bit of time right now to do shopping, connect with contacts, repair gear (Jerry - fix the turret on your drone maybe?), etc. Let me know what you're intending to do and I'll let you know what you'll need to do to accomplish it.

You don't have a clue where to go to buy gear, buy local information, or much else right now - you're standing in front of a grizzled old man handing you your Hawala tokens, and he's given Jane rough directions to your hotel. You can try to get to the hotel now, where you can start doing your legwork and advancement, or you can seek out the local bazaar's and see why the even the corporate armies come here to buy new toys.

I'm going to look up my group contact for the purpose of initiating, either with them or more likely a subset of them.  Loyalty of 4 should get me at least some access.

Other then that, I'll probably help the others finding their way around Lagos, depending on what they look for (I have the navigation (Lagos) knowledge skill).

As for the foci, I suggest we divide them up amongst us and do a nice post about it later.  I have the following:
-weapon focus rating 2 (Iceblade's katana)
-sustaining focus rating 3 (healing) (Iceblade's ceramic knife)
-regular katana in swordcane.
I actually don't need any of those, as I have a rating 2 weapon focus myself and I don't really need a second one.  So take whatever you want, but remember that you will carry it yourself    I have some contact here to sell the rest of the stuff.

As for the rest of the material: the medkit and supplies like water purification pills you will want to keep (even though they will sell for the most money), the rest depends if someone can really use it.  I haven't gone through the list yet, but I don't think there's much I need.

[eighth circuit]

If he knew about it, Eugene would be very interested in that sustaining focus, even if he can't use it right away.

Eugene would probably like to track down his uncle the talismonger, who might have some useful info. I've got a Nigeria area knowledge skill--I'm not sure if it's enough to know where the magical types hang out. If not, I'll ask Hyena.

I hope You weren't insulted as players . It's just Jerry, sometime I can't control him.

 Technically untrue .  No worries, I got that it was "him" and not "you".
 
 The only things Doc is interested in is the Whiskey, the Oxys gill, the respirator, the water tablets and the Laes slap patches. Primarily the Whiskey.

The only things Doc is interested in is the Whiskey, the Oxys gill, the respirator, the water tablets and the Laes slap patches. Primarily the Whiskey. 

All of that stuff is available for the taking. And the whiskey is particularly good, as long as you like single barrel whiskey made by elven Tir monks.

Thermo, few questions,

1. can I use the juryrigger ability to download the programs from the commlink, before the thing dies off completely?
2. is the edge replenished?

as for the improvements, I'll spend 10 Karma on improving Hacking to rating 5 for 10 karma,

from the gear that should surive, I'd like to take OXSYS Artificial Gill (1000 nuyen) - Breathe underwater to 7m

if the gun survived, I'd like to take it also, though I'd need to re-personalize grip.
Yamaha Sakura Fubuki (4100 nuyen) - 4P, SA/BF, (1) RC, 10(ml)x4 ammo. BF recoil treated as SA
**Integral Smartgun - +2 to ranged attacks. 1 Slot.
**Personalized Grip - +1 RC. 1 Slot.
Concealable Holster (75 nuyen) - Add -1 Concealability
80 rounds EX Explosive Ammo (800 nuyen) - +1 DV, -1 AP
<9 dice to attack. 5P, -1 AP, 1(2) RC, 10(ml)x4 Ammo.>

I'd love to get a medkit also for personal reasons (Jerry just loves to have medicinal drugs around), but I assume, that team doctor would make a better use of it.

3. is that acceptable?

The commlink was turned to slag, so all its programs are toast.

The medkit, pistol, and artificial gill are all yours - the team doctor already has a medkit, so as long as you share the trauma patches I'm sure he'd be fine with you hoarding all the anxiety-reducers and painkillers for your own recreational use. 

Once you find a suitable workshop you'll be able to re-mold the personalized grip. Your MacGuyver senses tell you that they're made of a reformable plastic resin that turns malleable in boiling water. An armorer roll is all it'll take you to get the grip just right.

Edge has been replenished.

Since you used a fair amount of Hacking so far, I have no problem with you improving it immediately with Karma.

[Thermo]

I would like to initiate if the GM lets me?  More power in case we hit a mana ebb.

Once everyone gets settled on Iceblade's gear (you all can negotiate amongst one another), let me know how you'll get in touch with the Sisters. If you're bringing them "donations" let me know that too, everything gets easier with some well-placed bribes encouragement.

[Eleven]

How 'bout I keep the whiskey and 4 of the Laes patches - anyone object?  I'll pass on everything else in the interests of speeding the game up?

[Thermo]

So it sounds like Doc T is going to accompany Jerry to buy a vehicle, and Hyena is going to seek out the Sisters so she can speak with them about Initiating. Eugene will probably need someone to accompany him to find his uncle's talismonger shop, since if left to his own devices he'd probably get  kidnapped, killed, or imprisoned in a loony bin. Or would end up running for his life down the middle of the street while being chased by a crazed flock of imaginary geese. So unless Hyena has a problem with it I would suggest that she allow him to come with her.

As for the gear, Doc is taking the booze and the Laes patches. Jerry is taking the pistol (with holster and ammo), the drugs from the medkit, and the artificial gill. Eugene is taking the sustaining focus. And Hyena is taking the sword cane and the rating 2 katana weapon focus. Let me know if I missed anything.

Note that there are a couple beat up AK-97's available as well, along with a few grenades if anyone wants to spend the time searching the bodies the Igbo left behind in the hangar.

Jerry, feel free to start narrating your shopping trip, I'm good with the gear you PM'ed me about but I'll write up the descriptions once you get to that point. Doc, you can help narrate based on what you found in your expeditionary trip into the city. I'll jump in when you get to the market.

Hyena, go ahead and start narrating your trip to get together with the Sisters, I'll jump in once you make initial contact. Eugene, feel free to narrate how you.. do your thing. I'm enjoying reading about your imaginary hippos. You and Hyena can work to track down your uncle, let me know how you'd like to go about it.

Jerry, remember that I still owe you both a weapons dealer contact and a weapons dealer enemy. Just.. keep that in mind.

If either group gets into trouble we can run things separately or you can call for backup from the other group. Might take them a while to get there, though.

[Sentinemodo]

I had posted the description but I got kind off carried by the story. If that too much into your domain i'll edit.

[Thermo]

no it's all good

[farothel]

Hyena, go ahead and start narrating your trip to get together with the Sisters, I'll jump in once you make initial contact. Eugene, feel free to narrate how you.. do your thing. I'm enjoying reading about your imaginary hippos. You and Hyena can work to track down your uncle, let me know how you'd like to go about it.

I've posted somewhere back that I tried on the same number I've used on the airplane, to get into contact and to get a location.  As for running around with Eugene, no problem, but I'd doubt he'd be let in in a meeting with the Daughter's of Yemaja if I've read the description correctly.  What we could do is find his uncle (I can ask when I'm doing the set-up of the meet) and then I'll drop him off there and go to my meeting, picking him back up when it's done.

As for the equipment: we will also keep the water purification pills.  If nobody is keeping them, I'll do.  I don't want to run around Lagos with a team with Tourista, thank you very much.      And besides, you can always sell them if you have to.  They're quite valuable here.

[eighth circuit]

Yeah, no need for Eugene to tag along, but if you can lead him to a place where one might find a talismonger that would be helpful. Also probably a good idea for everyone to not get too far away from one another.
