OOC: Crimson Assets, Always looking for new Assets Options

[Grey]

Exactly.

[Blitz]

Few places close to downtown can afford NOT to lock up their vehicles. ESPECIALLY with the ridiculous number of shadowrunners stealing all working vans. ;)

There may be something farther out...but your mapsofts wont give you much in the way of which ones have an available van.

Basic GM hint...you'll have to go looking for one...

[Grey]

How do you want to work our search?

[Blitz]

Well...post to begin with. Explain how and where you are searching. If you don't know the exact location, it's not a problem. Just describe the type of places you are looking for and the type of owner you intend to steal it from. You'll get modifiers depending on how you conduct your search.

[Blitz]

In the interest of stepping up the pace a bit...I would like to propose a bit of an acceleration.

Id like to assume that PD paid his down payment for his encryption and that Sully picked up her stealth suit. Id like to roleplay getting the van and PD's interview, then I'd like to fast forward to your preparation for the action segment of our program. :)

Any objections?

[Fenris]

Roger that.

[Shadow]

None here.

[crechebaby]

sounds good to me.

[Buddha72]

Works for me chica.

[Grey]

NO! I HATE THAT IDEA!

Sorry... I just wanted attention...

[crechebaby]

LOL
*pats Grey*

:D

My laptop is dying -- it's failing somehow and rebooting -- so I'm going to be re-tooling for a few days. I'll be in and out to post when I can. Just wanted to let everyone know.

[Shadow]

Good luck Dash, laptops are a pain to repair. There was a virus that came out about 6 months ago that would cause your computer (win 2k/xp) to reboot after putting up a message that said something about "RPC protocol'. You can get fixes for it at symantec.com. Email me if you have any question (I do this for a living).

[Grey]

As do I, so if you need help, I'd be willing as well.

[Blitz]

I KNEW y'all were geeks!

[Grey]

Blitz: How do you want to work the search for a van, I'm not very familiar with Seattle (I lost my copy of New Seattle two days after I got it), so could you give us a setting post to get things moving for Wraith and Jack?

[Blitz]

First you gotta tell me what you are doing to look. Think of any big city. You have suburbs, middle ground, uptown, downtown, the ghetto, somewhere in between.

Trust me, Im not nearly as familiar with Seattle as Id like to be and I wouldn't know much of a difference.

You are in downtown. bellview is to the east, redmond beyond that, snohomish north east (and all woodsy and farmsteadish), everette to the north (and a good ways away), tacoma is to the south along the docks, pulyup is south east...and has it's own set of barrens aw well as the poor-elfs tir-wannabes.

[Grey]

oh wait... Pulyup may be a good place to go. I remember from Brainscan that there are a lot of industrial sites out there, most of which are fairly run down. I bet I could sneak my way onto one of those and find something.

[Shadow]

Grey, your best bet is going to be West or South Seattle. They are kind of the rundown areas of the 'plex. West Seattle over looks the sound, South is a big industrial park that leads to Boiengs sprawling complex. I think if you guys just drove around for a while, you would find a van that fit our purposes. You probably want to stay away from Downtown though, New S. lists it as AA or AAA I can't remember specifically.


Edit:
Tacoma is about 28 miles south of Seattle btw, so don't head there unless your up for a good long ride. Between the two cities are Fife, Kent, Redmond, and several smaller communities.

Heres a traffic map of Seattle if anyone is interested....


Seattle at a glance

[Grey]

Thanks Shadow. I'll head South to the area around the Boeing complexe. That'll do nicely.

[Fenris]

Perception test to pick out a likely looking van: 3,1,13,3,2,5,2,15

Assuming 15's do it ;)

Perception check for lookout: 1,5,17,2,2,3,11,5

I'm actually gunna throw out a few rolls for this job, just because it could be something that blows up in my face.

Stealth (+12 from Ruthenium Polymers, and +8 Signature from Thermo Damper): 11 08 08 05 05 04 02

Electronics B/R to crack the security system (-2 TN for Microscopic Vision): 10 07 04 04 03

Electronics to hack the security system: 10 04 04 03 03 03 02

Perception to find the transponder (-1 for Perceptive edge): 05 05 02 02 01 01

Electronics B/R to remove the transponder: 15 11 03 01 01

Electronics B/R to crack the ignition lock: 11 08 03 02 02

Electronics to start the thing up: 11 05 04 04 03 02 02

As far as I can tell, that should take care of things, let me know if I missed anything. The only roll that I may have failed is finding the transponder, but I don't think it would be over a TN6.

[Blitz]

Nope...no worries. You have the van and actually drive it away before the street light kicks back on again.
