Don't think I noticed that wall on there, then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

How do you get an overview of the files there?

Would love to take a look at the full map again, to see where we could head towards our destination... the last map is a bit too small for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bye
Thanee

The map i meant, is called DIRECTIONS. That even has a plotted course and the wall on it

Log in to dropbox and theres a folder called lowintensity, or download the app to ipad, PC or phone.

Or the shared links i put in ooc,

Ah, here is such a map...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rsc5p5i36lie3yv/directions.jpg

So, our planned route is to just drive through there, right?

Do we know anything about that being feasible (i.e. that visitors are allowed there)?

Guess some more research would be useful then. I could call up my smuggler contact to maybe learn something more about it.


How much time do we have to reach the next location (crash site, I believe)?

Bye
Thanee

I think 2 hours, less however much time we've spent getting from the boat to where we are now (which I would think wasn't that long)

Unless your contacts can pull strings to get us some sort of clearance to go through the checkpoint, I'm seeing some kind of wall-scaling or sea-swimming in our future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Can i make a meta sugestion?

I think these locals might have something useful for us, if their favorite glowing alien-abductee would talk to them...

*edit* ooh, I like the chauffeuring idea!

I will be away for most of the day, so can only check in much, much later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dunno, if asking the locals seems like a good idea... they are cah-razy!

Distances are short enough to make it on foot, so that's definitely an option.

Let's figure out, if we can learn something about the security measures here (contacts, sneaky surveillance, talking to the crazy locals, etc), and then decide on the route.

Bye
Thanee

LOL

I should be around. and either way, I sense longshot wouldn't have lived long haha!. and barring another series of unfortunate events and or unforseen circumstances should have reliable interwebz.

I have been CREATIVE wit PAINT again .. Enjoy

it's not perfect as per the map, but should give you an idea of what it looks like in daylight ...

you scare me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

LOL! so if we get too close to the mines do they beep the closer you get? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
So driving on the beach = bad...


I'm up for asking the hillbilly locals about a way around or through the wall.
They live here so would know the area the best.

Maybe they would believe something about reaching our space ship or needing to go to that side of the island for something.
I don't think we should have them tag a long.... but if they could help get through the checkpoint or past the wall some way that would great, maybe we can tell them we plan on shutting down the bad people on this island so they won't harm them anymore.

Trish has a look and comes back with some conjecture on the security.

The main import dock is north where HAMMER is coming from,

only personnel and small vehicles approach from this end!

That means people and not machines! And they are more likely to be non hardcore security, for the lighter touch on the VIPs.

That doesnt mean it would be a cake walk, but less likely to be a war unless something goes wrong, security will be on call.

She thinks if you can avoid that route, you'd be better off,

Stories of locals tunneling for freedom and home made boats and light aircraft being shot down etc are quite prominent in smuggler circles!

in His armor, he'd have livd until his air supply ran out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

okay, stick around, it may be a while IRL, but as soon as the guys get up to Burton, I'll see about how I can re-insert LongShot or the New guy!

if you are still interested at that point. and in the mean time, I wish you all the very best in this world and .. the other! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Isn't that precisely what the flotation armor mod is for? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

hmmm. yes. and I probably had it on him as well. haha!

Perception (visual -2 for the being sat in a truck)

I'll let you make an intuition test, to see if you think it's safe out there.

it should be safe enough with at least some face covering / breathing support

Assensing .. I think it's called please my dear ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Astral Perception -> 2 hits

Bye
Thanee

from the crops, an eerie, almost supernatural "Buzzing" sounds,

it's more akin to a warehouse full of revving chainsaws than cicadas though.

You "sense" enough of the forms of some outrunners to guess they are locusts the size of small cars !

***EDIT*** YES, dual natured (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sorry for the delay in posting. May i make a perception test as well to notice the critters? I put up a quick IC but i will edit it depending on the results. After hearing the locals mention critters it brings back images of the spiders so he will use low light and alternate to thermal sweeping the area. If he sees anything he will begin using vision magnification to get a good look at them.

yes you may, they are NOT hard to spot, but are currently rampaging through the crops causing untold damage

Perception(visual): [1,4,1,1,5,3,3,1] = (1) hit, glitch
Intuition test: 0 hits! Yay!


Oh man, giant fragging carnivorous paranormal locusts...

YOU said ! .. you were sick of SPIDERS !

You see movement in the crops, but you only see the one Large youngling, hardly a threat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

not going out there without a gas mask and at least 90% body coverage, time to start rooting in the bags for some more bits of armor to bolt on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
