Alright, we need to make a gear list. Right now it's just:
Definites: Rapid descent gear Maybes: Radio Encryption/comm suits Survival gear Diving/underwater gear Ideas, OOC suggestions? Let's collect a list in the OOC so we don't loose bits and pieces among the RP bits ;) |

Leowulf, let's go ahead and put regular parachutes under the definites. Low-altitude parachutes is a maybe, but I don't think we need HALO chutes unless we come up with a plan specificly around them.
Warpath doesn't need camo, by the way, unless there's snow on the ground. If we plan to land on the island for more than an instant, we also want sufficient camo netting to cover the chopper. How are mage types for levitation? We might need a stretcher, as well, even if we have levitation. |

Most of that stuff is just dead weight. It won't see any use whatsoever.
With the exception of comm gear, Danny doesn't require anything. |

I have to say that dead weight or not, most of the stiff we have listed as definite is the type of gear that'll kill a character by its absence (parachutes, survival gear, descent gear).
If AV ammo is available, Warpath'll jump at the chance to get a clip or two. The most likely threats we're going to face in the first bit are spirits and vehicles. So if we can handle that, I think our regular gear can handle most other types of opposition. |

@ WP AV ammo would not be availible in the time frame you have, more than likely, but hek, you can give it a shot if you want.

Definites:
Rapid descent gear (Climbing Gear, right?) Camo gear (either full suits or jackets, except for Warpath) Radio Encryption/comm suits Survival gear (Survival Kit?) Parachutes Gel rounds/Stun shells/Bola rounds (in case we have to subdue the guy) Maybes: Diving/underwater gear HALO gear instead of parachutes Hollow Point ammo AV rounds (for portable weapons) Heavy weapons Grapple Gun Stealth Grapple Line Catalyst Stick Nav-Dat GPS I can take a clip or two of gel rounds for Blackjack, which she would actually prefer. I suggested hollow points in case we are possibly going to meet up with some awakened critters during our perilous quest to find the indian guy's son. It wouldn't be in character for Blackjack to take those, unless it was suggested by one more experienced. Upon looking them up, I discovered that Shocklock rounds were not quite what I had thought they were. I was thinking they were EMP shells, which would have been useful against vehicles. Too much Fallout. :rotate: I definitely think that some non-lethal ammo would be a good idea, at least for Blackjack. We don't know how the kid is going to react when he sees us; he may run off and hide. We may have to shoot him to make him stop, erego non-lethal rounds. Maybe I can design some of those EMP shells in another game some time. |

Alright, I propose everyone have a minimum of the following:
Comm unit with encryption Parachute Survival kit GPS system of some sort Floatation gear Camo gear Flare grenades of various colors Those making landfall also need: Rapid descent gear Gel and hollowpoint ammo Survival knife or the equivalent Also we'll want sufficient camo netting for the copter if we need it (it's cheap and easy to get), a stretcher, and a Savior medkit (or regular medkit, depending on what we can get). I'm still worried about spirits (IC and OOC), but I'll leave any big ones to the mages. |

Looks like we all have an idea of what we want to take personally. I'm not sure that we need to take only the exact same items. I'm going to have Blackjack ask if we can stop by the store on the way to pick up some thermal underwear and sweats for herself. It's going to be cold where we are going this time of year. I hope that I camo suit comes with a hat as well. I think it does; I know it comes with shoes.

There are 4 more people who need to post today, and it's gettin kinda late...
Ok so you have your equipment list that you guys want to have, if not for everyone at least for some of you. Someone make a call to Zoe, and let her know how much of each so she can get working on it. If I didn't make it clear (and I may not have) there is a time limit on this run, when time runs out, it's game over. Also, I may not have made it clear that the Tilt wing is is sitting at the Tacoma Airport in a hangar and at your disposal. I mention this 'cause you guys were looking for a place to reconvene... |

Post what? Theres's not much for Danny to say at this point, especially when almost everything he does say is ignored.
He's pretty much ready to go, which is why he suggested using the storm, and subsequent confusion for cover. ;) |

Didn't mean to ignore Danny, I was half waiting on an official answer as to whether the place had a more private meeting area (the one instance I can find where I should have responded) ;)
What is the likely duration of the storm? What is the mission window, again? Warpath'll make the Zoe call with the laundry list of stuff if no one else wants to, as soon as everyone pipes in with what they want (or opts out). As of now, I'm not sure how many of each item we need, so if you want a "enough of x for everyone" type call, that'd work best, probably. If that's okay, I'll have him make the call tomorrow :) |

Sorry TKG, I must have missed that one. I was waiting for someone to actually ask. Soory 'bout that. The bar does indeed have a private meeting room, it is through the same door that Blaze entered from.

It's cool, no worries. :) As to gear, I don't see Danny needing much more than comm gear (w/ encryption). He sure as hell isn't doing any parachuting or deep sea diving any time soon. Spells and Spirits should cover any such situations, should they arise. |

Blackjack is kind of dumb when it comes to planning ops like this, so it's in character for her to ignore Danny. I could have put in my post that she looked at Danny and decided to let someone else address his suggestion or something...
but I didn't. I know how you feel though because this is like the third time that Blackjack has suggested leaving, and no one is f***ing listening! I'm thinking to myself 'COME ON!!! CAN WE PLEASE LEAVE THE F***ING BAR?!?! LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!' Had to edit the swear words due to Shadow's request for a PG-13 rating. Damned censorship... :D |

@ Grey, think of the worst rainstorm shy of a hurricane or a tornado you have been in, and that is what it is like. Your car can make it back to the city.
Am I to take it that you all are going to hook up on 06NOV @ 1200hours? If so then I will post your trip back to Seattle shortly. |

On a straight etiquette test, 5, 2 = 1 success. On an etiquette/street test, add 5, 4 for a total of 3 successes.
