Hello guys!

FastJack (Mercedes) asked if anyone knew anything about where a bunch of chotas would hold up a running mate on Underworld 93 and Smiley decided to help out. If Mister the GM wants to, I can PM him with his contact list, if not then we'll say he didn't find anything. ;)

Likewise, Iceblade has offered to get help from his contacts, as well.

Sorry for not posting (I will I promise) last couple of days have just blown up and I've been exhausted all week.

Now that we're getting the attention of other runners, I figure it might be a good idea to have some other teams run a distraction when we hit the prison. Still not sure if talking our way through or going in guns blazing would be best.

@Anyone from VU93:

 The best way to do this would be if you posted anything on this jailbreak in the VU93 thread and then the players for Road to Redmond II here can link it in the IC thread when they talk about what they read on the shadow VPN's.  That way, even if someone writes something on VU93 that contradicts something I put here, I would just handle it as wrong info.   I might even post in VU93 "correcting" some info under a pseudonym.  We'll see.

You can use the layout for the jail that I posted in the IC thread and just repost it on VU93 and people can discuss.  You can even make-up hypothetical security procedures and give advice on how to evade them and then I'll rework the security I have in place and include some of your ideas over on VU93.   If you're using contacts, just link the rolls and then you yourself can interpret those rolls and write-up your legwork in VU93. 

Basically what i'm saying is that I will definitely allow what I read on VU93 to influence my plans for the RRII IC thread here depending on what I feel works and doesn't work. 



@Fastjack: 
Kinesics I feel only lends a bonus for face to face interactions because it has to do with facial expressions.  I'll assume you're video chatting and give you a +1 instead of  +3 for the rolls.  I checked and this only knocks off 1 hit from Tiff's hits and from Crimson Crush's hits.

Thought something like that might come up as well. No problem!

Alright. Contacted my GM and he gave me the Charisma attributes of the contacts I'll use for this and has also agreed for me to use my char and his resources here (and will secretly sneak up here to check how much this is going to cost.) Smiley is a very high Karma count character and has lots of contacts. I'll be using only the ones with a chance to know anything. A shame my Lone Star contacts aren't that useful anymore in Seattle. :P

Contacts used (Legwork):
U.C.A.S. Marshall Amy Ross (Connection 5, Loyalty 4) roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3259870/
The Red Duke, Cereal Killer hacker (Connection 3, Loyalty 5) roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3259872/
ARES Junior Executive Maria Lopez (Connection 6, Loyalty 3) roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3259874/

I'll try to interpret those rolls as best as I can. Especially since Maria had a pretty nice roll and I'll include a catch with Red Duke's roll (Oh I got a nice idea, you'll love it, check your PMs inca1980, I'll send you my idea soon).

Alright, now the favors part. A Senior Executive of Knight Errant owes me a rating 5 favor, well two but I will use only one (High profile wetwork isn't cheap). I will ask him to send Mercedes everything necessary to have access to the areas of the facility from the entrances up to the holding areas ASAP (might even include a uniform or two, your decision). Now I got my GM's permission to use it (and will consider it used when we return to the play table), but if you feel it makes things too easy for your players inca1980 and want to say no, I'll just consider I couldn't get a hold of him on time. I guess you could also make make my contact partially successful, keycards and passcodes to only a few doors and so on. Your decision, I don't want to screw up your game so I won't post anything about this favor until I hear from you. :P

I'll add my .02 nuyen with one of my contacts.

Major Vilesina Dalawe (4C/3L) - Tir Tairngir Peace Force Ghost
Don't have stats on her, but she's an adept and an initiate. Could possibly provide gear, layout, passkeys, or a safehouse. Maybe even extraction to the Tir. Another possibility is that they could make an extradition request for the guy to get him transfered to Tir operatives who just happen to be working undercover (the PCs). Or she could arrange for some Tir hackers to work their magic.

Of course, any of those options means they'd owe a national military a big favor. But it could lead to future work.

Ok people, so I really like this cross-over with VU93 and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.  Just realized one little glitch....our time-stamps don't line up.  I don't want to mess up the VU93 time-line....but the problem with changing our own time stamps for RRII is that I do make some references to the time of year.  So while I figure out how to rectify this...(might just end up ignoring it cuz it causes a little hasstle in terms of lifestyle costs..etc.) we'll just not look at the VU93 time stamps and pretend like they're taking place on your last day in Area 39...which in RRII is 21st June, 2072. 

At the end of the day, it's really hard to line up PbP with real-time timestamps (remember RR1 just happened over the course of like 3-4 days, so I think it's best to just keep ours as is and let VU93 keep it's time stamps as is.  I'll think about it some more.  Any ideas though? 

@Mercedes, BB & Walks:
 
I'll get back to you soon about what info your contacts come up with....it's definitely gonna have some real useful information to help you piece together a good plan of action.  As you can see it could take some crazy turns :)

Oops... forgot about the time stamps. I vote we just hand-wave it and forget about it.

I know I've been pretty busy with work and stuff, leaving me just about enough time for a couple posts and moderation of the boards. I'm hoping everyone else is in a similar situation and we'll get back to this once things calm down a bit.
