Frail Things IC, Hell's right here. Options

[Sion_Smee]

"Four further questions, How large is this crate, how heavy is it, will it be easy to identify and is it likley to have a tracking device installed?"

[warrior_allanon]

Nodding Wolfgar slides the diagram and specs into his general transmission que and ponders operational options while the others continue to ask questions. He knew what he had for transport, and if the plan was for the ship to drop them somewhere else he would take it along.

[Trigger]

He expects us to catch the other crew with a big old ship. What the drek does he know about smuggling. Sure we can start with the thing, but we are going to need something faster to really get in on them. If they got three spell-slingers aboard we are going to have a mojo stand off before we even get near enough to board them. And I hate fragging spirits. Agent sits back, trying to figure this run out, how it should go down. He knew they should bring along a small fast boat to move in on them in the dead of night, move in fast and catch them unawares. It would be great if they stayed close to the coast, hoping they would drop anchor at night, but he wasn't counting on it. He waits for the rest of the team to get the questions out, listening to it all cooly, hoping for a chance to dig in and raise their price, which is what he really wanted.

[Grinder]

"I don't expect that there is sufficent medical equipment on board, so I will give you a list what I need."

[Ophis]

"The crate is about four foot along each side and ways about 300 kilos. It has no tacking device and my observers on the dock say the rest of the ships cargo is in much larger steel crates. So yes it's easy to identify. Get me the list of medical gear, I'll check it against the Mother's Star's resume, their facilities are surprisingly good." his eye flicks across as if checking out something AR, "Now gentlemen, can we move this along as time is short."

[yoippari]

Depending on their setup I might be able to fool or at least take down their sensors, if the plan gets fragged I could just shut their whole system down.

"So, we have a big slow boat, they have a magicly fast boat. We have a mage, they have two and a half mages. They will likely see us coming miles away with their magic security sensors. Is there anything I'm... Oh and we have less than 2 days to prepare? Because, y'know, I just want to make sure we're all on the same file here."

[Moonwolf]

"Any indication of the power of the spirit boosting them? If it's something serious then you can just rule out the whole job, since our vessel wouldn't catch it in a million years even with the biggest I can sensibly call. And, are we having to provide our own small boat, or is that provided too?"

[Ophis]

"We reckon from the tracking we have on them about force four. The Mother's Star is hardly slow, big yes but not slow. If you think something faster is in order what would you like? Oh and you have less than two hours."

[Trigger]

"If we can't get a faster boat in that time then I will use my own. I would need close to weeks worth of fuel just to be on the safe side and something extra for putting my own ship in on this. Whatever you were paying Mother's Star to carry us should be good enough," Agent chimes in on the question of the transportation.

[Ophis]

"What size boat? The Mother's Star may be able to carry her. In the current weather in the Atlantic, you want something of size. The Target ship is a small freighter."

[Trigger]

"She is a medium sized speed boat, could carry our crew and some cargo without too much hassle. She is used to running the coasts," Agent replied to Coldfish. Then he continued on with his negotiation, sliding right into the talk of the price. "You seem really keen on getting this crate back and 200,000 yen is a nice bit, but there quite a few things that random variables in this. The fact that they could be blood mages, which adds just a whole other level of risk on top of their mojo, intitiated blood mages more so. Also the fact that I am using my own boat, something I am really not keen on doing but it needs to be done. Also we don't know the contents of your crate or if it is dangerous in anyway. I don't think 40,000 each is quite enough for this job, I think that maybe 50,000 each would closer to the ballpark."

[Ophis]

Coldfish smiles, "Boat that size? I wouldn't want to risk it. The Mother's Star would be capable of crrying her though and you can use her for insertion. If you insist on 50,000 each thats fine. Though i think your maths is a little off I count six of you. 300,000 it is. Can I send you to your ship now?"

[Trigger]

"As far as I know we are done here," Agent sat back slightly thinking about the payraise that he had gotten the team and the fact the he was putting his boat in a whole lot of risk. The mixed emotions flowed through him and out of him as he watched the rest of his team around the room.

[Grinder]

Wow, the fragger has deep pockets. And he raised the payment too easily.

Doc Bones began writing a detailed list of the medical equipment he needs and sends the list via his commlink to the boss.

[yoippari]

I wish I could handle a UAV, seems like that would be useful here, especially that one with the minigun attached to it. A slight grin crosses Englishmans face. Oh well. Is there any new equipment I'll need for this? He goes through a mental checklist but nothing comes to mind.

"Oh ya, where do we deliver it to?"

[Ophis]

Coldfish produces a datachip and throws it towards Agent, "My number's on the chip. Call when you have the box."

[Trigger]

Agent pocketed the chip and then looked around the room to see if any of the others still had questions to ask Coldfish before they left.

[Grinder]

Doc Bones shakes his heads. "No, I'm fine."

[warrior_allanon]

Nothing else here, but i do ask that those of us going on this op stay for another 5 minutes since we have a few things to discuss before we head out. 45minutes till we meet at the docks," Turning to Coldfish "Which Pier?" Wolfgar felt like an idiot, in all the talk about the mission no one had bothered to ask where they would meet the Mother's Star to head out on this op.

[Ophis]

"On the chip. Forty-five minutes. Thank you for your time gentlemen, goodnight." Coldfish nods to you and leaves via the door he entered by.

[warrior_allanon]

Wolfgar nods to the johnson's remark and then turns to the rest. "Alright folks, time to get down to the nitty gritty. Like i said before my name is Wolfgar, i'm a weapons specialist and a physical adept. Basically if it goes boom or can be physically or astrally punched, i can do it. Doc i assume your name says it all, right, as for the rest what are your specialties?" Wolfgar looks around the room his eyes settling on the grinning Englishman

[Sion_Smee]

Absynth picks up the task of indroducing his abilities.
"I'm also an adept, I specialize in the heavier weapons, in being 'quite hard' to take down and im fast."
Absynth looks to the next person awaiting thier response.

[Trigger]

Agent takes that as a cue to introduce himself, "Oui, my name's Agent and I get things where they need to be. I can get guns, cars, drugs, medicine, whatever. I can also shoot, quite well in fact, in case anyone ever get closer to my boat than they should."

[yoippari]

Englishman taking the hint introduces himself, "I'm Englishman. I'm a drone rigger but I've done some hacking on the side. I'm not bad with a handgun or automatic either. I've done some tinkering too, weapons, cars, drones, cyber... oh, and it seems Agent is as protective of his boat as I am my truck."

[Moonwolf]

Sigurd leans forward slightly, "I am Sigurd, I commune with the creatures of the world tree, and I manipulate reality through what you would know as mana. It appears that I will be the mystical support for this endeavour."
