OOC: Crimson Assets, Always looking for new Assets Options

[Blitz]

that was purposeful...it's just little notes that I dont want confusing the raw information. if you highlight it, it's easier to read.

[Fenris]

2 hours of work on the smart frame. I'll drop you a detailed breakdown of what I'm trying to program later, and you can tell me how much longer I've got.

[Shadow]

@ Blitz, are you going to let us know when the timeline is caught up?

[Blitz]

Sorry, Ive been feeling really bad since saturday so I haven't been watching the posts much.

Yes, I will let you know when the time line is caught up, but Im also posting times on the posts so that you know what time it is. Feel free to jump in at the right time.

Can you please refresh my memory, what was it that Jack is sending to Wraith?

[Grey]

Specs on all of the retinal scanners that Ares has.

[Blitz]

Ok..assume that you have now had them. If you spend 6 total hours studying them all, then Ill give you a -1 TN modifier if the retinal scanner is an Ares make.

If you spend less than 6 hours, then there is a chance that the model they have is one you haven't studied. Basically, there are 6 models. If you study for 1 hour, you have a 1 in 6 chance (simple 1d6 roll)..each hour increases your chance by one.

[Grey]

Assume that I am studying them until I get a call to meet up with everyone.

[Blitz]

What time did you give the dat to wraith?

[Blitz]

The earliest you could had asked Jack to search for retinal scanners would be 2:30pm. It would take a minimum of 1 hour for him to get that data, assuming he's not doing anything else. I need Jack to let me know how long it took him to return that data back to you. I believe he was also working on his smart frame at the same time.

[Fenris]

15:00:00pm start the search, 16:00:00pm to finish, sent 16:00:01.

[Blitz]

Therefore, your study time will begin at 4pm.

Will everyone please let me know when they've slept and for how long. I know PD got 6 hours between 3 and 9am and that Trace crashed at 4pm on thursday

[Grey]

If Trace started to sleep at 4pm, when I start to study, I'll wait for the game to move to 10pm and then start making phone calls from that point (unless anyone needs to call me first).

[crechebaby]

according to the timeline, I got about 14 hours of sleep last night, so I'm thinking I probably didn't go back to bed.

[Fenris]

According to my IC posts, I crashed for about 3 hours early morning on Thursday :D

[Dashifen]

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday, was having troubles with my job situation :(

[Blitz]

Grey...when are you sleeping?

Also...reminder to crechebaby...as a shaman of wyrm, you need 10 hours a day of sleep. You're doing great so far.

Dash...sorry bout your job...glad you kept it though!

[Dashifen]

It's in flux at the moment -- my mother works in the same department as me and has been there longer. However, management is trying to crack down on nepotism. Not understanding the fact that I'm employed be a different person, report to a different person, work with other people, etc, they're still pissed because my mother has an office that's down the hall from mine. As a result, they want us to write some sort of document that shows how she didn't hire me and therefore it's not nepotism. But yesterday there was talk of letting me go since I'm just a programmer and she's the director of the department. Blah

[Blitz]

I need to know the nature of the line you reqested...are we talking surfing, mt. climbing, biking, snowboarding, skiing, skydiving, scuba diving, etc.

[Dashifen]

Hrm .... since it looks like I'm going to end up talking to someone who may not really be knowledgable about the bodyarmor, I'll go with biking as if I'm looking for information in conjunction with the Tour de France. Then, I'll focus on trying to get intenal pictures and what not.

You guys like that concept?

[Grey]

Blitz: Wraith is good for sleep right now, with the sleep regulator he can go 2 days without feeling it. I figure he'll do the 6 hours of studying so he'll have something to report about he scanners when the group gets together, then after the gang meets again, he'll crash for his 3 hours.

[Blitz]

Dash and Wraith...works for me.

[Dashifen]

I don't think we've ever specified IC where exactly the Factor Five office is. Or if we have, I don't recall it. So, PD just asks if the office is there, but since I don't know where that office is I'll let you fill in after the elipsis.

Edit
Blitz: are you going to want me to roleplay the entire interview or can I say that PD just makes small talk and kind of BS's the guy for a little bit before asking a few questions that are pertinent to the run. My plan right now is to get into the building, meet with LaBonte and ask him legitimate but boring questions, then start to probe a little bit about new product lines -- see if I can get LaBonte to punt me from him to someone else in the building who might be able to answer my more impotant questions.

[crechebaby]

blitz,
just wondering... can my sleep average out to the necessary 70 hours a week... (for instance.. if I sleep, say, 14 hours one night.. can I sleep 6 the next.. ?).. how little can I get for how long before I can't function?

[Blitz]

It's up to you. LaBonte will not give you any hints as to the line you are actually looking for. He'll give you all sorts of interesting tidbits and maybe enough to even make a good story for the currents section, but bland and uninteresting as far as top secret body armor is concerned.

On the flip side, you will get a good look at the majority of the building, including a snapshot of the R&D department as he'll lead you through to show you the latest in Bike Technology. You were even able to score a very quick glance (single picture of) the door you suspect may house the items that interest you. The door is obviously new compare to all the other doors and framework and the retinal scanner there is the only one you've seen throughout the facility.

Please post an IC post with your interview though when the time comes. It wont be until 3pm the next day so I dont want it in the IC string yet. Wait for the timeline to creep up. (it also means that Wraith will still need to study since he planned on it BEFORE you got a look at the scanner)

[Blitz]

crechebaby...That kind of extreme is not going to work. You can make do with only 6 hours, but you'll be sleepy and distracted the same as someone accustomed to getting 6 hours a night who only sleeps for 4.

That's one of the downers about the Wyrm totem which I made sure you were aware of before accepting it. Since it's totem related and not physically required, I would simply assign the target numbers that usually apply to standard actions just to your magical target numbers.

You can make do with an hour less here and an hour more there without an issue. You can also space out your sleeping if necessary. 10 hours a day does not mean all at once. You could easily sleep for 6 hours and take 2, 2 hour naps and still meet the requirement. Think of a cat, whenever they are not actively doing something, they are sleeping.
