Electronics B/R?

I would agree.


Sorry. No changes to skills mid mission, especially if for the reasoning that you didn't know what skills you would need.

If I let one person change a skill, then I cannot fairly deny someone else to change a skill when they needed. Essentially everyone would have every skill then, cause they would just then make an argument to why their character would have that skill, but they forgot.

No worries, though. I give lots of karma!

But I asked before the mission and didn't get an answer. I assumed Electronics and bumped that. If I had known I would need Electronic B/R, I would have bumped that.

Can't you just default to Electronics for +2 or +4tn?

[galenbd]

Gladly. The Core rule book says they default to Intelligence. It does not say I can default to the Active skill. That would be a GM call, I think.

Also, realize that when I disconnect the camera to install the dataline tap, It will blank the monitor. They might send a guard to investigate. If I'm invisible, that might not matter.

If it is just connecting into a tap, no rewiring, or jury-rigging, etc, then Electronics skill will work just as well as B/R.

Though, it may take more than just plug and play.

[Bastard]

Still working on things! Busy off week! My car started having computer-fuel-ignition problems, which I believe are fixed now, and my wife just bought a new car! On top of that I am helping write a paper for my wife's class... because she puts all her term papers off until the last second!

Hope to have a better update tomorrow afternoon!

[SneakyJoeKDB]

What kind of car did she decide on?

[Bastard]

Waiting on some character information from some of the players...

Preparing IC post for advancing the story to the run...

Everyone is ready?


KLIKO, BUBBA, FELIX and JAMIE are GOOD
LUDI is temporary NPC
CORSAIR is now an NPC

[Kliko]

"Always ready to play"

[ntwi]

Ready

[Bastard]

Okay, my sig is updated, and I am working on an IC post. If it ends with . . . That means it is still a work in progress, but due to past experience, I may want to save it in the middle.


If you have not posted your gear list for the mission, please do so before moving on!



EDIT -

Of course, my post didn't save and again, I have to fucking start over. So there will be another delay. This is the only site I have this problem with, and it is really pissing me off.

Does not invisibility require LOS?

Writing the plan in my IC post, to make sure everyone is on the same page, and that there are no misunderstandings.

I have it halfway done in a word doc, but I have to head out to work now, so I will try to finish it first thing tomorrow morning.




EDIT

I am posting what I have...

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IN THE IC YET!

There is more to follow still. Please include any changes you wish to make in the OoC, and I will place them in my IC post!

Invisibility does require LOS to cast, but not to sustain.

[Kliko]

Thought we would drive Kliko's SUV all the way through the gate at 58th Ave and to the loading ramp at the Temple's back storage area?

Sure we have to open the gate, which is an obstacle, but I think we would have a safer get away (unless they're packing serious firepower > Assault rifle-type).

Didn't Felix ward the SUV?

Pls confirm.

Also Kliko would discuss possibilities in case there are like 2 meatbags with Mike, considering Kliko grabbing Mike while Ludi drugs/darts the meatbags. I guess she'll dart/drug Mike first. Kliko respects that and follow her lead (she's the spook after all).

[Bastard]

So then Corsair will be driving Klikos SUV, not remote control driving his (which I cannot remember if he even drove a vehicle down)?

The gate is already being opened to access the storage dock, which is Ludi and Klikos mode of entry, so it should break away pretty easily.

Remember Corsair cannot provide tactical overwatch art the same time he is driving in the real world.

Also, the extraction is going to be a little cramped, and smelly if Bubba is coming along. You will have six or seven passengers:
Corsair
Ludi
Kliko
Felix
Jamie (with climbing gear on)
Morningstar (either combative or unconcious)
Bubba (if his cover is blown)

[Kliko]

I thought Kliko and Ludi would be driving their own wheels having Corsair act as overwatch and exfil car for Jamie, Felix and Bubba.

Car line-up:

Kliko's SUV:
- Kliko
- Ludmilla
- Morningstar

Corsairs' SUV:
- Corsair
- Felix
- Jamie
- Bubba (if his cover is blown)

[Bastard]

Where will kliko's ride be parked during mission?

You can't park it in the back lot. There are cameras back there. Who is driving it to pick you up for extract?

Not after Jamie loops/rigs the camera's from the temple roof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Its a mere 30-50 minute window the car is parked there. We can even put a logo of the temple's grocery-delivery company van on the SUV for suspension of disbelief purposes with the photo-voltaeic paint-job on Kliko's ride (just in case guards make their round during that window).

Ludmilla will probaply do the driving after she follows Kliko out of the storage area, it depends on how things roll really (Kliko is a better driver and familiar with his vehicle).

[Bastard]

Here are some links to posts, and google maps.

Who is carrying the key card?

EDIT

IC Post updated. Read over the plan and let me know if I got something wrong or you want to change something.

Bold has my correction/addition (The watchers need to be distracted this time as well)

INFILTRATION-1 1450-1455 KILO and LIMA
Bravo takes smoke break on docks in the storage yard
Foxtrot casts invisibility on Kilo and Lima
Bravo leaves door cracked for Kilo and Lima
Bravo returns to duties and goes to meeting
Foxtrot uses spirits to confuse the watchers
Kilo and Lima enter, making sure to return the door to its normal state
Kilo and Lima hide near elevator/stair lobby doors in storage room during meeting

[Bastard]

Okay, fixed!

[galenbd]

I came up with another question. The Quick Resolution Matrix rules say you need to have the utility to perform a given action. To Monitor and Edit Slave, Jamie needs the Snooper utility. She does not have it. That is also the majority of what she will be doing during this phase of the job. Please note, Availability on these utilites is 2/7 days.

Under the normal rules, no utility is required, but the target number is higher. I had expected to be able to handle this under the normal rules, it would just be a little harder. How do you want to resolve this?
