Mr Juan anything to add? otherwise I'll move us forward to our rendez-vous with Sugar and Duster back in Kourou.

Bubba is taking the Heavy Machine Gun and all AMMO. Also what other weapons did we find? And Bubba picks up the un-spent grenade. He is going to pocket this one because grenade tosses just dont seem to work.

@Bastard: A short summary of gear on board would be welcome (type of machinegun, AR's, SMG's, obvious accessoires). I'm thinking of equipping Hausmann with one of the AK's (empty magazine, no round chambered) after we install his personafix-chip

Ludi will change out into her jungle kit, or at leats, into whatever Kliko brought on board for her. She'll also finish searching and dressign Hausmann, and turn off her jammer.

Once they hit their on shore cache, she'll get her bug scanner and check their quarry over.

Kliko brought everybody(incl Hausmann) a jungle pattern camo-full suit. He even brought load bearing harnesses for the ones who didn't already have a combat vest. We're going to look real smart like a pair of guerillo's out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

That's exactly why I get up in the morning.

Sorry for the flakiness - been super busy at work with the shutdown and major repairs and long shifts and working almost every day. I will try to do better, but I sure don't mind all the OT money! I may not have to do my own shadowrun to make the bills this month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Since my computer is still dead, I do not have my files. So while looking for the basic weapons I found this awesome link to Gods, inc - Isle of Shadows

I was going to have you guys roll perception tests for your search, but seeing I have held you up enough, here is the important stuff you find:

As for gear, the crew had:

4 SCK Model 100 SMGs with 7 clips total (two of the SMGs happened to drop overboard)
1 AK-97 with two mags (minus rounds fired)
1 Browning Ultra Power pistol (one mag)
1 S-A M107 Machine gun with two 100-round boxes (The tripod is bolted down to the deck - nearly impossible to remove without the proper wrenches)

They also have armored vests, some with more holes than others, that have some sort of flotation material sewn into them.

There are also two boxes of rations, 12 in each. None are donut meals.

Anything else you are looking for in particular? Roll a perception test for results of each.

A toolbox (because I know Bubba will bring this up):

The AK and magazines go to Hausmann. Best have Bubba make a B/R roll for the HMG, the M107 is some nasty piece of weaponry.

-EDIT-
Sneaky, you want to go next (and make an attempt at obtaining that M 107) or shall I forward us back to the rendez-vous?

Kliko finds a satchel, like a large purse, full of simple hand tools (all metric of course, including the tape), including:

box/open wrenches
two crescent wrenches
16 oz hammer
pliers/wire cutters
channel locks
two cross tip screw drivers
two flat tip screw drivers
electric tape
duct tape
bailing wire

Bubba can take the M107 with basic skill, however, the tripod it is sitting on is firmly mounted to the deck.

Kliko will just toss Bubba the bag. The rest is up to Sneaky. I'll wait for him before posting the rendez-vous.

Ok... waiting on Sneaky.

I think Saturday we will be back to normalcy at work. We started up our unit today, running in circulation. Adding heat and increasing pressure tomorrow, then feed in on Friday, final steps on Saturday... hopefully.

Bastard, I believe there was a brief mention that we were doing this run in the rain season? Could you give an update on the weather (hot and humid, hot with burning sun, hot and raining)? Then I can incorporate that in our rendez-vous post.

Not sure what to roll against but Bubba will attempt remove the tripod by using the tools provided from Kliko.

Heavy weapons:


If this fails, Bubba will muscle the tripod using tools and strength:

Strength

@Bastard: Bubba's cell got signal?

Not if the jammer is on. Once you get closer to shore there will be a cell signal.

The tripod is not hand bolted on, it was permanently fixed and is going to take the correct tools, not brute strength to remove from the deck.

Bastard, you prod Sneaky for a reaction? Otherwise I think it's best to move things forward.

I finally got a few days off... I will update sometime tomorrow, and bump you guys ahead if there isnt activity.

Something on a side note, but happy news all together: I got me a job again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

Great news!

I am still working on my next post. My computer is still in boxes, my hard drive is at my friends, and thus my notes are floating in cyberspace for now.

EDIT

Post is up... I didnt add too much, as I do not want to lead you too much.

Feel free to post ahead to setting up camp, or cruising around... let me know your plans for each day. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday...

Not sure whether we made specific arrangements for that in the IC.

Most likely the team makes him leave a voice- or tridmessage in a messagebox which we in turn check twice (sunset and -rise) a day through Ludi´s sat-dish, then return his call when required. It's likely JC's call, since Ludi is our designated comms-specialist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That was mainly why I had Ludi bring her collapsible sat dish. Didn't think they'd get cellular signal down in the boondocks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
So yea, we do the voice mail box thingy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

No worries... I found some hand written notes today.

Hooray!

BTW - What is it that you are using on Hausmann, and how does it work?

A rating 6 personafix-chip (rookie mercenary archetype). Basically it is a special direct input BTL that overrides the user's personality with that of the chip. They're mentioned at the end of BTL-descriptions on p. 296 of the core book. We'll be giving Hausmann a real authentic 'experience' for this one. Posing as a merc team 'on the run'. I don't have a clue how they work rules-wise. But we can always ask on the OOC forum?

@Bastard: Should we make some Wilderness-survival group tests? And is it going to rain? I believe we're in Kourou during the raining season right? (also for narrative purposes).
