Alrighty:
1) Epic? Great.

2) Define "ride"

[Redjack]

1) Yes. More epic, not a straight forward run... <G>

2) Ride: For Ditch this means a reinforced frame, with a blue-printed electric methane hybrid engine. The chassis is currently from a '65 Nissan mini-van, armored and equipped with photo-dynamic nano-paints. The control system is SOTA six months ago and the security system was de-activated so that Billy could make the engine modifications.

[Thomas]

Uhh, we do know each other, right?

[Redjack]

Yea. See my last post for a little more detail on that. Feel free to embellish or take creative liberties.

[Thomas]

[Thomas]

Crap guys, sorry. I just spotted Billy's question to Sledge, had been waiting for Fist to respond to the comms

[Redjack]

@Fist - I really liked that post. Take a bonus CSP.

[fistandantilus4....]

*does dance*

[Thomas]

@Redjack

Initiative score:
11d6 -> [6,2,6,1,6,2,3,6,2,6,2] = (42)
Link

Sledge intends to keep an eye on the gangers until they attack or are close enough to engage in combat. If they attack, counter with dodge. If Sledge is able to engage - Attempt to interfere with other driver – grab controls, kick, etc., - in order to cause him/her to crash. (and if I’m real lucky, maybe that will take out some others!)

What rolls would you like?

[Redjack]

@Fisty

[Redjack]

@Fisty
I'm giving you surprise. They were not expecting the immediate escalation.

It appears you can buy quick-draw(2) [Automatics(4)+Reaction(4+2) successes, so roll your attack:
Automatics (4) + Agility(6) + Smartlink(2) + ReflexRecorder(1) + Attacker in Moving Vehicle(-3) + Attacker Distracted(-2) + Target has partial cover(-2) + Attacker firing from cover(-1) = dp5

Both of you have partial cover from traffic.

Edit:
I reread your post. 3,3,5,4,2,6,6,5,2
Machine pistols use automatics, not the pistols skill.
I would remove the Attacker Distracted(-2) but I do feel I need to clarify command of the bike through his rig, using the gyros. You cannot jump into the bike AND fire. You could issue a command to the bike via your com, but you have no command program.

So you end up with only 1 net hit, but with the leader being surprised he does not get to counter only resist.

You still need to roll an initiative. Their init is 8.

Edit #2
I gave this some more thought and found it silly that you could not just activate the autopilot without a command program. So I am going to allow that, just realize that without a command program you have only a basic interface to the pilot program. [Turn on/off. Drive to location XYZ. etc]
3,3,5,4,2,6,6,5,2. The distraction modifier is removed and your hits restored to 3.

[Thomas]

[Redjack]

Ah, but fear != surprise.

[Redjack]

Also remember that each pass worth of conversation is about 3 syllables.

[fistandantilus4....]

[Thomas]

@Fisty - Sledge's query was meant as 'why are they after you, do you owe them money?' - feeble attempt at humor.

[fistandantilus4....]

got it, I edited. :)

[Redjack]

I promised a post rate of several times a week... It has now been over a week without a post or word from Thomas, so I will move the game forward remoting Sledge and hoping that Thomas reappears..

[Redjack]

I see that there have been no karma, nor CSP awards in this game beyond the one bonus for a good post. So at this point take your first karma and a CSP for each of the 3 scenes. Take a bonus karma for a creative solution with Ice. While things won't turn out as goo as you'd like, they will be MUCH better than they would have been otherwise... ;)

[fistandantilus4....]

So that's 2 karma and 3 CSP yes?

I like to change things up a bit form the norm. I thought about trying to find a way to disable him so that he couldn't call ahead, but there were some problems with that. First, I'd probably have to put him unconcious, and the hackers inside might have taken serious offense to that. No way of knowing how many friends he had there. Second, he might have woken up later and been madder, meaning I'd have to kill him instead. That's pretty extreme for his role in things.

SO I decided to pay him off, but kept it low so that it wouldn't seem like it was overly important. Having low funds might[/i[ have had a thing or two to do with it anyways.

Lastly, if he [i]does call ahead, Vic will see a pissed off runner coming his way, but one that was willing to deal with one person who worked gainst him already. SO if he does get a call, he may be defensive, but not necessarily shoot on sight.

That's my train of thought.

Heading straight there or round about?
