Hi, I'd like to start so Volker, Thanee please post your characters. I'll try to pick off few months after when we (sadly) ended with Jack's game. A team of runners is laying low for a relatively long duration considering the consequences of the last run (which I'll leave vague to keep the imagination of how it should have ended - but feel free to add some information).

How is the matrix situation? Does it work properly here? Are there any good reasons not to spend twelve hours a day online, while the interface suppresses the feeling of coldness?
Also, what about James. Are the Benedictians fine with him?

Yes, they were fine with James - even interested. They like technology. The matrix situation right now is a bit spotty - no reason not to be online all the time, but it is not very enjoyable as there are many momentarily disconnects, lag, and other things with no real mechanical effect - but it would make most entertainment in the matrix very frustrating.

Does Nova know anything about that package? Does she expect something to be delivered?

She expects some necessities to be able to disappear like new SINs, and documents but these are mostly digital assets. While some of these may be physical objects so a package is not unreasonable, she would not expect it right now.

bnc doesn't have Matrix Games as a knowledge skill. She does have Matrix Legends, however. If that is somehow fitting, please tell me at which DP penalty I could roll on this skill.

Just roll it and I'll adjust the threshold accordingly, can you briefly explain what is "Matrix legends" knowledge?

bnc has an interest in special, occult or otherwise untangible matrix phenomena, like true AIs, UV hosts and such. Things, scientists cannot yet proof or are not well understood.

The name Dark Fox 32 does not ring a bell, but a short matrix search reveals him to be a minor celebrity arguing for ultra-realistic matrix simulations "It is not important how realistic the simulation is, we use it for entertainment and can get out whenever we want. We need a whole new degree of realism to allow people to completely live inside virtual worlds solving many of the social problems we now face".


He was associated with the "Virtual Realism" community project aimed at forming an entire virtual world, allowing people to move into a fully virtualized world for life. The idea was to financed by crowdsourcing, but it remained illegal through most of the project, and it never got real, but some theories have it that Dark Fox 32 (and many others) just quietly moved into the project, and continued to live their real-life with a form of autopilot to sustain their bodies and make a living while they truly live in another world.

We received a lot of money from Muhme, but we never got to know how much as Jack quit mid-run. Could we assume that the costs for the hideout and for the clinic we bring Anna to roughly cancels out the earnings from Muhme? That way, we wouldn't need to estimate how much was what and just proceed with what our characters had at the moment when we dropped the thread.

It can work, the risk of that plan is that you'll get moving and possibly attract unwanted attention to yourself for the very events that got you paid handsomely.

How far away would be a suitable beta clinic?
Does anyone remember where "our" delta clinic is stationed? It might prove difficult to move Anna from the Czech republic.

Somewhere in germany, I think? Berlin maybe? Not entirely sure. Nova has been there, already, so she definitely does know where it is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Other than that, Nova has a trusted Street Doc in Munich, who might know more about beta clinic locations. Every big city should have one or even a few of those.

Central north Europe, but the fovea is only over Prague and the situation is not identical in the entire city.

With (hopefully) a little help from Nova who seemed to know a lot more about fashion than bnc ...


Nova actually has a skill for that "Fashion & Style 3". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ah, that's awesome! bnc will go like "here, take my creds and get it done with". She'll just wear whatever Nova picks for her.
