Sorry, just checking to make sure we're all healed up...

Can we attempt to contact Germaine, or would our hosts be against that?  I still feel like our leverage against him is very strong.

@BB:

Your hosts may be sniffing your connection but you don't find anything that's off limits so you can try and contact whoever you want.

[Kontact]

For the gear, anyone opposed to setting up a lower-end TacNet?

[inca1980]

It's been a crazy weekend, but i'll be posting Woofers thread and helping move the whole planning phase along too ASAP!  Like I said though, feel free to post all you want about plans.

[FastJack]

Sorry, been a bit hectic at work this past week as well. I'll try and update Mercedes' reactions tonight.

[Walks Through Walls]

Tac net is fine with me, but in the past I have had problems coming up with enough input channels to be able to contribute.

Tac net is fine with me, but in the past I have had problems coming up with enough input channels to be able to contribute.

Same here. Just got the contacts and earbuds.

With a maximum of R2 (since we've only got 4 people,) we'll only need 4 channels.  So, a simrig will do it.  That's visual, auditory, olfactory and lowlight for each of you.  Woofer's already got a simrig.  BB's got image link, sound link, radar and smartlink.

And no one has a link that can't run a R2 program. (if you did, this would be a good time to replace it.)

@Walks:

Gear list looks fine, just add up the total price tag.  You can basically keep any gear up to 100,000 nuyen total for the whole group.

[Kontact]

Walks, you might consider going with the Defiance EX shocker with an SS->SA mod.  It's 8S(e) instead of 6S(e).  You should already have your Pulsar from your regular gear.

I guess my gear list would be:

Battle Buddy Basic - 10,000   Stats 5/5/5/6
Tacsoft R2 - 6,000
Gecko gloves - 250

Ingram Supermach 100 Ex - 1,000
+Chameleon Coating - 1,000
+Sound Suppressor - 600
+Personalized grip - 100
-Top mounted Smartgun system - 400
-3x Spare clips - 45
-Concealable holster - 75
240x Stick and shock ammo - 1,920
Weapon stats: conceal: -2  Damage: 6S(e) AP: -half Fire: SA/FA  Ammo: 60c  RC: 4(5) Effects: -6 to hear, CC, Smartlink

Ontari Equalizer -750
+Chameleon Coating -1,000
+Personalized Grip - 100
+Underbarrel Weight - 50
+Melee Hardening - 300
-Top mounted smartgun system - 400
-Barrel mounted Gas Vent 3 - 400

Weapon stats: conceal: -2  Damage: 5P AP: -2 Fire: BF/FA  Ammo: 12c  RC: 5(6) Effects: CC, Smartlink, Can't be damaged by melee, quick draw w/ 2 hits.

FFBA full suit - 1,600
+Nonconductivity 6 - 1,200
+Fire Resistance 3 - 300

Chameleon Suit (Softweve) - 8,800
+Chemical Protection 6 - 1,500
+Thermal Dampening 3 - 1,500

Guts - 100
Oxyrush nanites R1 - 1,000
Autoinjector (for cyberhand ) Std - 800

1x Microtapper Bug - 1,000
1x Flying Eye - 800
+R6 Camera - 600
+R6 Laser Microphone - 300
+R3 Covert Ops autosoft - 600
+R3 Maneuver autosoft - 600
Blob - 4,500
+Chameleon Coating - 2,000

10x Splash Grenade - 200
10x DMSO - 100
10x Narcoject - 500


Total Cost - 53,215 
Minus the 4,500 shared cost for the tacsoft, and 25,000 of the operating budget, that means 23,715 out of the pay.  33,000 of the operating budget means 15,715 from total pay.



Alright, using advance pay to buy some gear as well.

Figured we could use some drones to make this happen.  Went with a couple from Spy Games, the Flying Eye and the Blob, and the Microtapper from Unwired.  I figured the Blob would be cool since it can squeeze through a 1mm gap, and the necessary chameleon coating could be used to display written messages for communication.  The flying eye has an improved sensor array and is micro instead of mini, so it's naturally hard to spot.  Don't have any pilot aircraft skill, so it needs some autosofts.  The tapper is a PoS, but it's micro and a crawler, so B.B. can default to pilot it and use it to get access.

[Walks Through Walls]

Is the pay and gear thing 100,000 nuyen each or 100,000 nuyen for the group. The way it was worded in the IC section I read it as being 100,000 nuyen each, but your post above seems to indicate that is a total so now I'm confused.

[Kontact]

Pay is 100,000 each, but there's an additional 100,000 shared gear.
