Nuke Aquisition, Deed Initiation Quest Options

then adventure in that state for 30 days.

I don't know that island hopping would let you qualify for this part of the requirement, but that aside...

Like before, your main problem with this plan is that you'll be highly visable. People will see you going from your plane to your safehouse or whatever, you'll create matrix data looking for a place to stay, and various other small problems like that. If you just stock up on a month's worth of food in a safehouse before a mission, then just hang out there for a month, making sure not to leave any ritual samples for the corp to find, then no one will ever see you, thus no one will ever be able to point the corp in your direction. No one will be checking your ID, you won't be creating a bunch of matrix traffic looking for safehouses (One of the first things the corp will start looking for). All this makes you much harder to locate. Perhaps have a ward thrown up around your safehouse to stop mages finding you (They could break through, but aren't likely to want to bypass every ward in the state looking for you). If you're real paranoid about technos/hackers just cut off your safehouse from wireless access. Buy a bunch of trids and whatnot beforehand to keep yourself entertained.

Oh, and you're unlikely to be able to carry more than a couple refuels or so in your plane with you, not to mention jet fuel tends to be a bit more complicated than an orange plastic can that you pour into your fuel tank. You'd likely spend less time waiting to refuel at an airport than you would fueling up yourself, though of course you wouldn't have people checking your ID or anything.

hmm good points, but i wouldn't be looking for safe houses on islands. what i meant was i would island hop onto legit un occupied (or semi-occupied) islands with little to no life and thus no matrix access for the most part.

afterall, semi-worstcase scenario, what if they find my safe house and attack me? what's my out? and wouldn't the megacorp, with all their resources, be more than able to seal off all escape routes?

[Karoline]

Well, semi-worstcase scenario they figure out you are island hoping and send a couple of stealth fighters to take care of you. If you're the only plane hopping from island to island, which you likely will be, then you'll be fairly easy to pick out. Maybe just go to one island and hang out there survivor man style. So long as they didn't notice your initial flight you're in the clear, and if they did, your jet is still around to try and move again if you need to.

Like I said, being found is the dangerous part. After you're found, it really doesn't mater where you are or what you have on hand, you're toast.

considering that i have a stealth suit w/ thermal dampening, 6 killing hands for mages w/ astral sight, and a natural stealth ability that my DM has passed as completely invisible to the naked eye when it comes to goons, i'm not worried about being able to sneak away, which is why i prefer the island hopping idea. and unless chucknorris comes personally to fight me, my glass cannon build will probably be able to deal w/ most threats that are melee based.

my glass cannon build will probably be able to deal w/ most threats that are melee based.

Which is why they'll shoot you with a sniper rifle. No reflex or dodge test, just pure hits added to damage from 1800 meters away.

i'm not so sure that'll work out in a tropical jungle, especially because i'm paranoid and would stealth while lying low in such an enviornment.

after all lions tigers bears oh my they'd eatme
