Nothing's Free in the Free Zone (OOC), Adventure 1: Broken Star Options

Technical question; does having my Agent attempt a task like this Search for Lynx impair my own ability to attempt it later?

[Jack VII]

My character will get one if she's told it's necessary by the rest of the team. She doesn't feel a need for it herself right now. But as we know, she can be pretty misguided.

Now that I think about it, we can all probably just share one when we need to make calls to potentially unsafe/monitored numbers. If we have it slaved to Overkill's cyberdeck and he does matrix overwatch on it while we use it, I think we should be okay. But if anyone wants one otherwise, let me know and I'll make the proper allocation.

It does not - since the Agent is effectively a separate entity. It would (basically) be like having Jack attempt it, and then you attempt it later.

[Always Overkill]

I will set the Agent then.

[Lobo0705]

I will set the Agent then.

It rolls 8 dice

8d6.hits(5)=3

So next time you post something IC, just indicate that you have sent the agent off to search for information about Lynx, and it will return 6 hours later and tell you it found nothing.

[Always Overkill]

K, I just wanted some reason for Drave to brace himself for the challenge of finding this guy. (Preferably before we walks through my door wondering why I have so much footage of his handiwork.)

[DrZaius]

I think Grease would want 1 of the burners, at least.

@DrZ: Noted, they'll arrive with the remaining equipment tomorrow AM.

[Lobo0705]

@Jack,

I love that Grease's taxi is like Herbie the Love Bug crossed with Christine.

[Lobo0705]

I'll let each of you post the necessary updates of you arriving at Nick's Knacks - it is located in the Warrens, you can see the first page of the IC thread for a description.

Include anything you want to do before you head on over there, and make sure you include your gear lists for when you travel there (you could have picked up new gear from your respective homes).

With Jack sending you the message at 5:20, you would be arriving at the location around 5:45 or so (assuming you left right away).

@Lobo:

Probably more of the latter than the former. I hope no one minds the bit. I'm actually only planning on writing these scenes when no one else is around. Maybe its only in his head, some strange hallucinations left over from his memory loss and/or something extra installed in his head that gives him delusions.

I think its cool. As long as it is all something that could be in your head, and it doesn't actually damage Grease's vehicle - don't see that it should be a problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (I mean, I can't speak for the others, but its fine by me)

I've been enjoying them. I also like the idea of the taxi only acting up when Jack is alone. "I swear guys, this cab has something against me!" "Jack, it's just a drone..."

After reading Jack's message, Overkill is headed straight to Amy's

That's pretty much exactly where I was going with it, LOL.

[Always Overkill]

Drave is packing a duffel with his stuff (everything from his sheet.) and leaving extra food out for the cat, (it has its own way of coming and going anyways.)

Edit: He is wearing the armor jacket for the ride; until he meets with Jack and gets his Vest. I will add the description and the list of gear when we get Nic's.

[DrZaius]

I made the executive decision to change the color of my internal dialogue to a color that contrasted more with the default text so I could read it better.
-DrZ

[Chrome Head]

I recommend italics as well for thoughts. I personally use "darkkhaki" for the color as I've seen it used in other games and I think it's nice, but your color is fine too.

[Always Overkill]

I commit the crime of leaving many of Drave's thoughts grey...

Changing dialogue colors? Next it will be font sizes, and then we will have anarchy!

Seriously though, no big deal - I agree with Chrome, just keep it italicized if that's cool with you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Lobo0705]

@Jack,

Alright, the others are on their way - go ahead and post you arriving home, and preparing for visitors - you can even end your IC post with the other 3 arriving, and you saying your initial piece to them so we can kick the dialogue off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Jack VII]

Yeah, I always like to use italics. I'm not sure if I am using the default scheme for the boards or not, but everything shows up clearly with the one I am using. The one I use is Black with Green banners/highlights.

ETA: OK, I'll work on a tie-together post.

[Always Overkill]

Btw- Jack, I think I will add Mr. Steiner to my list of pseudonym's, this one would be a Runner name. You could use it in "polite" company, as opposed to OK, which made me cringe.

Now that's just going to make me use it more, LOL. Seriously though, Steiner works fine.

@ALL: Sorry about the marathon length post. I just got nailed with an involved tasker at work. I'm going to review the post really quickly and edit it if anything is dicked up (Also, if you want me to write your parts differently, I will definitely do that as well, just let me know).

I'll edit this post to let y'all know when it's 100% ready to go. I will be on and off for the rest of the day working on my project.

ETA: OK, I cleaned up the post a bit. Only thing I need to add is my equipment list and I'll be good to go.

[Lobo0705]

Great post Jack - Very nicely done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
