That'd be what Nick just burst in on. ;) Just noticed your IC post. Nick had to time-warp a bit to get there, so we have progressed to the afformentioned Pizza party ... 45 minutes late, in fact. |

Yeah, I told him to go ahead and bend the space/time continuum so he could actually get a chance to contribute.
My assumption is that you guys will be spending the interim time doing your research, making gear lists, etc. BTW, work is pretty killer today, and I'm leaving for TN right after work, so I'm not expecting to be able to do another IC post until Monday. I should have time to answer any OOC posted questions you guys might have, though. |

Hello Fortune. Sorry for the delay everyone, I know we're supposed to post at least once every day, but sometimes RL doesn't want me to... As the discussion in the bunker was already over, I did a little reversed time-warp myself, so Sam didn't have to be silent all the time (she's supposed to be more vocal than that usually) - hope no one wants to answer to/comment on my 'motivational speech' IC, as this would bend the posting-time-space-continuum even more. If necessary, I can of course make some edits, otherwise consider it to be half a day later in the TTR (again). Time to catch up on things then:
Since the early days of Star Trek it is generally accepted common knowledge that the existence of hissing doors is the most reliable indicator for a technologically advanced society. :D Three cheers for retro futurism! Regarding medical equipment: I never stated it explicitally yet (as TOR said we'll be properly equipped before we go off to our mission), but I consider Sam's basic equipment to consist of a Saviour Medkit with lots of refills (if this should be considered too expensive/high-tech and thus suspicious for Runners, then a max rating Medkit with tons of refills will have to do), a toolkit for cyberware repair (I guess a normal hardware kit would work here as well - GM call) and a good assortment of all the usual slap patches (antidote, trauma, stim and tranq), add to that all the sensible toxins&drugs (which is basically Gamma-Scopolamine, Narcoject, Long Haul and Psyche at this point, as Arsenal isn't out yet) with a handful of disposable syringes/poppers/'empty' slap patches. Carrying shouldn't be a big issue, as the patches&drugs won't take much room/weight and most of the refills will be stashed away at our hideout(s). Not sure yet if we should get 1 biomonitor for each one in the team (apart from those with an implanted, of course), for remote medical overwatch or something. Regarding military equipment: Sam prefers H&K and FN weaponry (too bad there are no Walther's in the list) and always carries a pistol or two, add an AR for combat missions, SMG when stealth or other restrictions don't allow ARs. Pistols: -HK USP10 Tactical -FN Five-seveN Smart (getting both pistols would be best) SMGs: -HK 227 -FN P95 Smart ARs: -HK XM8 -HK G12 A4 -FN HAR If those aren't available, then anything with a smartlink preferred. Then a good armored vest and some shock gloves should do the trick for her.
You try that with Sam and you got to beat her Counterspelling first and her righteous fury afterwards. :S Evil mindraping bastard. conspiracy spoiler - Warning! Metagaming Content - [ Spoiler ]

Y'all do know that none of you are getting those exact weapons in those exact configurations, right? :D

I'm just going to go with the old timeline long enough to talk to Byrne, then I'll fold back into the new one - arriving late.

I've put together my first draft for the gear requests that Rozhenko will be responsible for (communications, vehicles, drones, and communications). I tried to fit in most of the requests I received in PMs, but I had certain limitations I had to adhere to, too. Please let me know what you all think and whether or not you see room for improvement.

Then you don't need the Hardware, and just take the Software. :) |

Gear looks sweet though, I cannot think of anything to add.
Edit: Oh wait, yes I can - can we get some hand held or better yet goggle mounted sensor packages too? ie MAD, millimeter wave radar. |

Bonus.
Ash doesn't do goggles though. Hand held stuff is fine. :) |

I figured contacts with skin links are entirely more meaningful, but yeah, I'll mix it up with a range of options - just waiting for zee ronin to give me the heeads up - and get back to the rulebooks :P

Just go ahead and put some packages together. Don't wait for him, as he is away for a couple of days. This way when he gets back we can be closer to being ready.
And yes, variety is good. But keep in mind that glasses and contacts are already being used to provide visual augmentation and image linking (to those without implants). Any kind of actual eye wear would kind of suck for sensors, and is really not necessary anyway, as anything can link to your image link. bracelets, belts, watches, and even little boxes are all good for sensors. :) |

Yurp. Valid point ;)
I suspect the main point is going to be squeezing it into something you can smuggle through a security checkpoint, so civilian street casings are obviously the go - thats why I jumped to contacts and similar, because they are completely civilian justifiable "It my image link sir! just ignore the MAD scanner and millimeter wave radar in there too". (not that you can fit those in, but you get the idea) I've actually always wondered though, does anyone actually wear a watch in 2070? Usage is already going down with the advent of mobile phones - I imagine in 2070 they will be an extreme rarity. |
