Opening Scene

You've all just successfully completed a Home Invasion style run. Miriam Argellies is such a dedicated researcher that she has occasionally been bringing Global Packaging Technologies prototypes home. Tonight your Ms. Johnson got an inside tip that Miriam was taking the item Ms. Johnson was interested in and sent you to grab the package. You got past minimal Eagle Security Systems Sec Guards, invaded Miriam's home, grabbed the package (Which is ironically packaging material), got away clean. You've dropped off the package with a waiting Delivery drone (A Federated Boeing Kull), and have returned to the the Crossroads to receive the payment. The payment was held in Escrow by Norman Keyes.

The team was brought together by bringing together whomever was available at the last minute through the efforts of Norman Keyes, Mr. Smith, and any appropriate contact for your characters. You can assume that one of your characters contacts may know Norman Keyes, or Ms Johnson.

15,000 Nuyen plus a 5,000 Nuyen bonus for not killing anyone is the payout to the team.

Now you have to figure out how to divide it. And if you want to run with each other again....

The yellow is kinda hard to read without highlighting it.

Ok, suggestion for another color? Orange? red?

We could also go with Speech = "Surround with quotes" and move the Matrix color to blue.

I would suggest though that we switch from yellow to orange, and also we might want to color code the internal monologue as well. Within large boxes of text, the italics aren't all that distinctive, I would go with purple.

As a note for eveyone else, descriptions of Norman Keyes and his club The Crossroads can be found in my character sheet.

Not going to be able to post until late tonight (or tomorrow morning, depending on the level of partying). I just found out I passed the Bar and I'm headed out with my friends.

This should be a fun group.
Now that we've managed to avoid a blood bath over 2000 nuyen - does anyone actually have leads on work, or are we going to break up and wait for a call from a fixer?

I'm still fiddling with my starting gear - since I did it by hand I want to make sure my math is right and I don't forget little things like a cred stick for my money (since I don't have a fake SIN).
