Well let's get everyone loaded and start our legwork... Shall we?

[Toras]

Sounds like a plan.

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Just so I know, is anybody still interested in this?

[Redjack]

*raises hand*
With whoever is still here.

[Meriss]

Still here, Mandy's a card I've been trying to play for a while and she's fun so I'm in it to win it!

[Toras]

Still here.

[pragma]

Still in.

[Redjack]

Rock & Roll. Let's move forward. Shall we begin discussing the legwork? Anyone use IM? Meriss and I communicate on MSN, but I also use ICQ/AIM and Yahoo...

[Toras]

I have an Aim

DarnelWarwing

Don't use the others.

As for legwork, I can imagine that we are going to start by pulling up some basic corporate history, hitting the local governmental planning sites for building plans and the other sorts of things that they would have to keep in public record.

Most of this is going to come from our Matrix based associate. Fortunately, if I remember things correctly, this level of corporation doesn't have the (I'm my own nation) level pull of the bigger Mega's. Add to that China is less likely to simply roll over for the Corp, but rather force a fairly elaborate system of bribes to manage and get their peace.

They may have been communist, but Greed is alive and well and so is Confucious.

Beyond that, some meat space/astral surveys would probably help as well, give us a good idea of what kinds of defenses they would be using. Also, checking what security firm they use and what level of response we can expect is also a good idea.

From there we can form some responses.

[Mister Juan]

Just wanted to drop by a little something to say that I'm still in.
I'll try to get a post up as soon as I can.

[Jeremiah Legacy]

OK everyone, unless there's something you wanna do at or near the club, let's get this show on the road.

Starting with: corerect me if I'm wrong, but does Scope still have the credstick?

[Toras]

I think so. And I'm ready when you are.

[Redjack]

Yes, Scope grabbed up the credsticks.. If she pulls a powder this may become a run just about tracking her down... ;)

As Thanksgiving week is winding down, I imagine we all should be about ready to get back into the game. :D

I've added Toras to IM (but have not had time when he is online to strike up a conversation yet). Any chance of getting the GM on IM as well? ;) A conversation in IM runs much faster than via PM or OOC post for working out a details sometimes. (If not, we can continue via OOC.)

[Jeremiah Legacy]

[Scope_47]

Sorry about disappearing - I had a hectic couple of weeks with school projects coming knocking. That and also the topic reply notification e-mail apparently decided it wasn't going to send anything to me anymore.

I'll try and catch up quickly.

-Scope

[Scope_47]

My AIM is jackendavoxgsf

Scope is going to head to her apartment just long enough to ditch her 'legit' weapon (the Hammerli), holster her silenced Fichetti, put on her hardhat and grab her "surveyor's" kit, then head to meet the van. She wanted to have her gear without compromising the location of her safehouse by having to give directions.

- Scope

EDIT:

Here are some rolls:

[ Spoiler ]

Shadowing check - looking to see if I'm being followed:
5 Int + 4 Shadowing = 9 dice
9d6.vs(5)-> [2,1,5,2,6,6,6,1,3] = (4)

Palming Check to conceal the Fichetti (Light pistol in concealable holster, so -3 concealability modifier to attempts to detect it unless I am mistaken)
7 Agi + 4 Palming = 11 dice
11d6.vs(5)-> [2,5,5,4,3,2,5,5,3,2,1] = (4)

Disguise Check - trying to look like just your average construction supervisor
5 Int + 4 Disguise = 9 dice
9d6.vs(5)-> [2,4,2,4,6,2,2,4,5] = (2)

Rolls for Shadowing and Disguise
Roll for palming check

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Everyone gets out of the club uneventfully.

Scope:

From what it appears, nobody is following you, and you are very thorough about these things. As for the credstick, it is certified with HK$6000 and a text note on it. Assuming you open it, here's what it says:

The place is a processing plant for Delicioso Good, a local fast food chain specializing in Mexican food. The plant is in Kwun Tong, on the southeastern side, just outside Lam Tin. The plant processes most of the food for the restaurants, and ships it out to them.

Delicioso Good is a subsidiary of Cafe de Coral, a AA megacorp based in Hong Kong. As such, they cannot be touched by the law, which is why you are needed. To avenge Juana Lopart, who died from an industrial accident. She was just 23, and these three people caused the conditions that caused it.

The three people are Gustavo Rodriguez, the shift manager. Only he was allowed to make emergency calls, and he waited until it was too late.

The plant manager, Bai Ming, kept stonewalling when we tried to find out what really happened.

The Human Resources manager, Azel Yi Man, actually had the audacity to say it was her fault and denied insurance benefits.

I’ll be in touch with your fixer for further contact.

[pragma]

This week is kind of touch and go for me -- couple of big projects coming to a head. I'll throw up an IC if I get a chance -- otherwise, Goat's planning to rendezvous with the van and will chip in whatever he knows about the local goings on.

Buy successes for two hours and drain

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Redjack:

[ Spoiler ]

OK, done. Now, before we bring the spirits in, any touches you want to give to your Shamanism? It does impact how the spirits act.

Also, it is now 11 pm, and you all just left the club. Most of you are in the van. What are you doing now?

[Scope_47]

As I said, I'm making my way to my apartment to get my stuff before meeting up with the others at midnight, so unless somebody contacts me via comm, I'm going to refrain from posting until everyone else catches up with me time-wise.

Scope did imply in her comm-messages that she was retrieving her gear I believe.

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Well, it looks like interest has died off, so it's time to declare the game dead.

Maybe next time.

[Redjack]

I think you still have at least four players. The holidays are probably affecting our post rates at the moment. I know it is for me.

[Scope_47]

I'm still here, I was just waiting for you to advance the time so I could get back into the action

[Toras]

You do. I think we can safely assume we are driving.
