Miami Vice Options

[Meriss]

Charlie sits quietly and listens to the others talk interjecting when he feels it nessecary (Or not)

Cash I don't know for sure that our rigger has drones. It's just a solid bet that he does. Like 200 from me. If he does I can prolly spoof em. That and a solid jammer 'll keep em busy for awhile. As for a speed limit 45 sounds about right, but it's a private road and hills so it's more likely to be 30 to avoid any damage on Lucky's part.

The helo sounds good Sunny. And would be one wiz pull if we could do it But, wouldn't that bring down more heat than we can handle? Although you gave me one wiz solid idea, see if we can get ourselves a rotodrone and a holo projector. Fake a Dragon, full of goons. That'd stop our boys with a minimum fuss. A few spike strips or caltrops 'd keep em stopped. Between me an Shell, I think we could keep a roto in line.

With the right softs I could ride the horse Neit, but you're right Crow no point in damaging our boy if we can avoid it.

After Crow finishes his transformation Charlie takes a long hungry look down the blondes cleavege.
Heck I'd do more than stop Crow. I tell yah if I hadn't seen yah do it, I'd tap that. Wiz boy does know a little con nice! But we don't know if rig boy is rig boy. With equal oppurtunity he could be a she, or a meta. Also, what do you do if he wants to do more than look? That being said, she's pretty cute, she based on a real girl or just wet dreams. Also does she come in elf? Charlie's remark ends with a leer in the blonde/Crow's face.

[Redjack]

In response to Charlie's feedback, Crow's image shimmers and mutes for a second before settling as a lanky, well endowed female elf with long white hair wearing a skin-tight leather jumpsuit. Her skin tone has changed to an olive and her long pointed ears poke out of her white hair. She sits and crosses her long legs which end in a black, spike heeled boot. Her voice is slightly deeper now, sulky and seductive. "I have about a dozen different persona that I have have practiced over the years so as to refine the details. This is however simply an illusion, not a true shape change. Any attempts to 'tap it' would not yield the desired results.... but I simply want the vehicle or vehicles to stop to minimize the chances of Lucky getting hurt in a crash."

The image shimmers once again and Charlie is facing his twin. He hears his own voice as well, "I can't pass a voice authentication, nor do I have your knowledge.. but I can sure add a little more chaos to an already chaotic situation." The second Charlie then uncrosses his legs and scoots forward in his chair. "We do need to make a decision about force level. My personal opinion is that leaving dead bodies in my wake when I'm not being paid to make them dead is unprofessional." He looks around at the rest of the crew for their reactions and responses.

[fistandantilus4....]

Cool your jets for a sec' guys and scan this.

Cash forwards part of the chipped intel he downloaded from Charlie.

From other sources: Lucky Day is scheduled for an on-location photo shoot by Blood Horse Magazine on Monday, May 20th at 3 p.m., Lucky Day is also scheduled for a routine on-location vet appointment on Thursday, May 24th at noon.


Looks like our horsey isn't going anywhere. The vet apparently delivers. So looks like we're back to the night raid.

I agree with Crow, we should decide how aggressive we're going to be in advance. Leaving bodies is going to up the ante on any hunt for us. I think we should avoid that if possible. I can get us gel rounds or gamma and DMSO in capsule rounds if we need. If it's them or us, it's no question, but I vote we avoid it where possible.


Charlie, I call.

Hey Crow, that spell work on ex - girl friends? Could keep things interesting.

Cash grins.

[Tashio]

Well, anyone know the status on the photo shoot, is it press and media or is this private deal? If its fairly open or on some form of invitation we might be able to use that time to sneak onto the property and take a look around, even if we don't do anything at least we might be able to get a feel for the place.

I too can take on other faces, but even if we were to pose as photographers it would be odd, an awakened photographer is odd enough let alone two. Lets looking into this shoot even if its for some basic recon.

[Meriss]

Charlie colors for a moment.

Drek well it was a fun plan for awhile. I forgot the on site stuff about the photo op. But I can scan the Blood Horse site and see if it's invite or public. Some layout might be useful, for the actual snatch. Crow I was just yanking your chain. Elf babe is a looker though. Hmmm... Hey Cash, you and Crow could get on site with the celeb angle. I could prolly code you up some decent ID's. Neit and me could run reporters. As long as I don't run my mouth too much I can blend fairly well.

Cash I call read em and weep Charlie lays his cards face up.

I'm not a bruiser but I can mix it up if I need to. I agree with you guys, I don't like killing folks.

Cash lays down his hand

Sorry Chuck. Straight beats your two pair.

I doubt the shoot will be open to the public. Any chance we could stake out the area, and have Charlie hack the camera crews gear? Let them do our work for us? Everything's wireless these days after all.

[Redjack]

[fistandantilus4....]

No there's an idea.

"Fancy a late night ride tonight Mr Ridgeborough?"

" Oh not too much. Just taking him out for a stroll."

Certainly gives us some possibilities.

Cash ignores Crow's 'card trick' and collects the winnings.

Great, more beer money.

So Chuck, any chance on getting intel on the ranch hands. maybe one of them has a weakness we can exploit. Maybe we can find someone Crow here can replace.

[Meriss]

Shouldn't be an issue Cash. If I'm going to get my ass handed to me with my own cards, I'll start on some of the info now. Just so I'm clear, you want, an employees list, full background on said employees, the scream sheets on the Jeffersons, full details on our road, check the photo shoot details and I still need to code up some ID's and regs. You want I should dance naked on the coffee table and sing "She loves Mr. J" too. This last part is said with heavy sarcasm in Charlie's voice.

Well you're not getting the last one, lemme see what I can do about the rest. Also if one of you could keep an eye on me while I'm trixing I'd appreciate it. You can never tell how hairy things are going to get. Shell if you want to do some legwork too, lemme know.

Charlier rises from his sitting position. You guys want to stick around it's up to you. There's food in the fridge, but it's mostly soy or nukeable dinners. There should be a list of restaurant's taped to the fridge. So you can order out with your beer money Cash. If you want. I'll set the house system to purge the call logs if you want to make any calls.

Charlie streches a little
House two tones sound from the trid speakers. Subroutine Mary A third tone sounds from the speakers There yah guys go, the call logs 'll purge about thirty seconds after you make em. Feel free to stick around, there should be some OC's with movies and stuff under the trid or you can just keep playing poker.

Charlie janders over to the bedroom I know I'm being a lousy host, but we need this info right? Oh and if you guys decide to take off, leave me a note and lock the door.
With a final flick of his hand Charlie enters his bedroom to begin his Matrix search.

[fistandantilus4....]

I should get started on requisitioning some gear. If you could all send let me know what weaponns you favor, I'll get the Gam-scop/DMSO capsule rounds. Sunny, you any good with a long rifle? You've got the look of a prime shooter.

We should get someone out to the area pronto too, for recon. Neit, since we always seem to forget you're around, I'd peg you for our queit man, unless someone else wants to go or has a suggestions.

I'd suggest we stick to two man teams while we're on the job. Shell and Charlie seem like a natural combo. Since Crow is going to have to be sticking around town, and I am as well, I'd say me and him together and Sunny and Neit out at the ranch, scouting out the land.

Unless anyone else has any suggestions of course.

I'll look at getting us a decent amount of CVI as well, see what we might need it for. Shell, lemme know what kind of jammer to get. Same for anything else we might need gear wise, lemme know I'm sure I can find it. Except for a chopper that is.

Cash scans through Charlie's fridge records , seeing what the man prefers to eat, as he wipes down his beer bottles, then tosses the cards in the trash, transferring $10 to the grocery list and putting playing cards on the list for delivery. He orders a few of Charlies 'Favorites' and pays for them off the winnings.

[Tashio]

I can be quiet if I need to but I tend to rely on my spells and spirits. I can take a look around, I'll take a look at the wards and see what we're up against. You can be invisible and quiet all you like, no use if some spirit it glaring at you on the astral.

Neit chips in a couple nuyen into the food pile. If you'r ordering make it something real.

[fistandantilus4....]

Cash stops cold and looks at Neit. Wait... you're a mage? I thought you were one of those sneaky little elf ninja adept types. Well... guess that's my fault for assuming. Shoudla said somethin' though chummer. You have spirits, or do you need time for summonings too?

[Tashio]

Neit chuckles and feels his ears. I know cats usually have pointy ears but I don't, but I can arrange a pair if it would make you feel better.

I'm good on the summoning side, once we have a better idea of what plan we're going to use I'll make a plan if needed, we have enough time.

[Redjack]

Looking to Cash, "I've got more summoning I want to do before the run, but I think we have plenty of time. If I have to pull a gun I'd probably shoot myself as soon as my intended target. Better to suffer the drain than a bullet wound, so I don't think I need any weapons." he says with a little smirk as he ceases to sustain the physical mask spell.

He looks to the cards in the trash and then to Cash. Hmmm.. He seemed more paranoid than that..

[Meriss]

Charlie May 16th Home
Charlie enters his bedroom, he shifts the privacy screen to block the door. No point in disturbing the guys He quickly changes into an old pair of sweats. Lying on the bed he places his commlink on the nightstand and begins searching for the data. Hope this isn't an all nighter

Searching for:

Oak Haven Ranch Employee records: 3 hits

Employee backgrounds: 1 hit
I going to have to do that one over

Gossip columns on the Jeffersons: 3 hits

Oak Haven Private road rules, and security: 1 hit
Another do over

Blood Horse site, Lucky Day photo shoot: 1 hit
Okay I need a new die roller.
Using Logic: 3, Electronics: 3 and Browse: 3

[Callidus]

Trashing his hand early seeing that he'd draw dross again, Shell leans back again as he sees a message come in.

@Cash

[ Spoiler ]

Will do chummer, although if they're not wireless I probably won't even spot them and I'd suspect that Charlie can protect them better than I can get in.

Listening to the conversation build around him, he takesit in and then responds

If you need someone sniped then I'm probably your sniper. Guns and combat are really more my speciality, hacking's more of a useful side skill really. And if you want to do the run on the vet's or elsewhere Charlie I'll try to cover your hoop as best I can on the 'trix, just let me know when you want to get started.

Rolls and stuff for Plan B

[ Spoiler ]

Scanning for hidden wireless cameras, think it's an extended test but will have to check at home.

[fistandantilus4....]

Wiz, you got a rifle Shell, or do you need one? Give me the specs on it and I'll get rounds in the correct size. Sunny, you gonna be our other rifle man?

I'll toss in a clip or two of APDS just in case too.

[Callidus]

No specific sniper rifle, my Alpha can do the job, not the best for sniping at range though.... I could have a look into getting one designed for the job but they tend to be both expensive and hard to get.... might well not find one before we have to move.

[fistandantilus4....]

If you're comfortable with your alpah, I'll get you ammo for that then. Anything else?

Cash starts getting together to leave.

[Redjack]

Crow stands up to follow Cash. No glasses to wipe.. Though I might burn the furniture...

[Callidus]

I've got EX-Explosive and stun rounds, but if you can get some of those APDS rounds that'd be good. On the other hand if we meet anything that needs that level of firepower we're up the creek

@Charlie: Team looks to be moving out, lemme know where and when you want to meet for the 'trix run on the vet's host.

[Meriss]

Charlie pauses his matrix search when Shell's mesage comes in.

@Shell: Stick around would yah? I'm about a quarter through the public stuff, the house system 'll dump any trix logs so we can tap the vet from here. Also see if you can get someone else to stick around. If the vet run gets hairy I'll need someone to hit the kill switch on my link. You got any ideas for info, might as well get started. If you want to do it later lemme know.

His mesage sent, Charlie turns back to his info search.

[Callidus]

Okay guys, Charlie and me are gonna start the hack on the vet's medical records, and possible the ranch's personnel records too if we get the chance. Would be helpful if someone could stick around, watch us while we're out and, and I seriously hope not, disconnect our 'links if everything goes to hell in a hand basket. Any volunteers?

[Tashio]

I'm good thanks Cash, got everything I need.

I can stick around if you guys need some overwatch. Just show me where the button is.

Actualy, see if you can get some warding material, if we're going to be here for more than a day or two might be an idea to get some wards up to keep out unwanted people or at least to alert us.

[fistandantilus4....]

Neit, if you've got some down time while you're here, you think you can watch their meat while doing a search for some crappy apartment we can doss down in near the site? Say within half hour of the freeway exit? We'll need a temp place there to base from. 'Less you guys all wanna camp out in the back of what ever trailer we manage to acquire.

Sunny, since you seem to have some thoughts on it, why don't you start on looking in to ways to acquire a trailer and truck for us, No idea if we can just rent one or if we'll have to acquire one or what.

Alright guys, I gotta slide on outta here if I'm going to get started on this. If any of you need something, give me a ring. Crow, if you need a spot to do your summoing let me know. The same if you need a source for materials, although I figure you'll probably use your own.



At that, Cash heads out with a waive, and heads down to his car, heading home.
