Emerging Conflict OOC & Recruitment, Fast Paced, Rules Light - Single Mission (Recruitment Always Open) Options

RECRUITMENT ALWAYS OPEN...plenty of slots for everyone...

Original Brief in spoiler tag:

[ Spoiler ]

[19:00 22 Aug 2070 – Deep Watch Briefing Post, Fort Lewis, Seattle]

“Listen up! Deep Watch is the best merc force reconnaissance unit on the planet and you will not let me down! We have staked our reputation on professionalism, stealth, technology and above all a ninety nine percent success rate…”

Having originally posted this at the beginning of the month I’ve revised some of the details to hopefully appeal to more potential players. The main focus of the game will be an operation by Deep Watch on the UCAS / Salish border with a couple of secondary targets if that interests anyone (otherwise they will be there as game background). There are several options for players (see below for the mission briefing):

• Deep Watch mercenary personnel
• Shadowrunnners hired by Deep Watch to make up numbers
• Members of the community that is the primary target of the mission
• The security detail of a politician who is a secondary target
• Members of the nearby Redmond gangs that might want to take advantage of the chaos

It is possible that having players on either side of the conflict may result in them acting against each other. Let me know if you are interested in PvP and I will arrange for you to face either NPCs or PCs (as far as possible) according to your preferences.

Each PC can choose to be accompanied by 1-3 NPCs. This way you have the option to post independently of other players without anyone needing to wait too long if someone is unable to post for a while. (It’s up to you whether you determine the actions of these NPCs or you leave it entirely to me…)

The IC thread will begin straight in to the action so any planning can be done here or on the fly as you approach your targets (to avoid the protracted planning stage and no action situation).

Most initial dice rolls will be dispensed with in favour of roleplay (I will probably get you to pregen some initiative and perception rolls which you can update periodically through the game). The roleplay aspect of the conflict will be the most important thing and I’m happy for PCs to pen the gory details of their actions without requiring damage resistance rolls (etc) from me…speed is the key, and not letting rules slow down the action too much. Don’t worry, I will ramp up the challenge as the game progresses and rolls will be required for those that like the ‘bucket full of dice’ effect! Any PvP will be RAW so that the dice decide.

Deep Watch hackers will be NPCs unless someone is desperate to play a field hacker (I’m still getting to grips with the matrix rules and given the background to Emergence I may let the NPCs do things not strictly in accordance with RAW so I don’t want to upset anyone). Hackers and TMs are possible on the opposing side but again given what I have in mind I would prefer these to be NPCs.

All PCs will be standard 400BPs (Deep Watch personnel may wish to use some/all of the following equipment package to give some uniformity - based on AH’s PACKS):

[ Spoiler ]

Deep Watch Covert Ops Package (0 Ess/7 BP)
Bioware (0 Ess): Bio-tattoo (“Dog tag” with blood type and SIN) [1,500¥]
Gear (7BP / 35,000¥): Clothing (military uniforms) [1,000¥], Chameleon Suit (thermal damping [R:4], chem. seal [R:4]) [11,000¥], Integral helmet (ruthenium coating, image link, thermo, smartlink, integrated Ares Golem Commlink + Iris Orb OS + Sim module + Pro User Suite + ECCM [R:6] + Firewall [R:6], backup micro transceiver [R:3]) [650 + 6,100 + 9,600 + 600¥], Ares Pred 4 [350¥], Ares Alpha (ruthenium coating, air burst grenade link) [3,200¥]

In addition for the Deep Watch team there will be a group requisitions budget for gear that would normally be outside the reach of most runners. Tacnets etc can come out of this and milspec equipment within reason (you will be operating on UCAS soil). I’m not going to set this budget but let you request things and then veto them or not as the whim takes me! Just please point out if any of the equipment you want has an availability over 20. This will be balanced by allowing Home Ground advantages to the opposition and similar in game bonuses.

IC posting conventions I’ll use: [Time/location stamp] in bold and orange, “speech” (cyan optional) and <<comms>> (yellow optional), first time your character’s name or key NPCs are mentioned in a post in bold please.

Rewards: In line with Unsound’s 2072 ‘persistent campaign’ thread I will give 1 karma and 2500¥ for the first post per week. This way, once the game is completed you will be able to join that thread if you want to (recruitment is always open!). I’m weaving the themes and events from this game in to that one but will try to keep time based spoilers to a minimum if you want to track that thread. You may be able to negotiate keeping some of the requisitioned items with this hard won cash…we’ll have to see how the game pans out.

Mission Brief

[ Spoiler ]

“Take your seats please, this won’t take long, I want you in the air in the next thirty minutes. You will no doubt have heard all about the Technomancer scare and the Sojourner incident aboard the Aztec station. Well I have to tell you that the wildest rumours are in fact true and that there are AIs in our shiny new matrix and they represent a clear danger to the national interest. The UCAS government has been monitoring their activities and identified a target on UCAS soil who have been in communication with the Sojourner and Pulsar entities and soft intel shows they are part of a terrorist organisation. The government cannot act without further clear intelligence, however, and that’s where we come in.

We have multiple targets in the Seattle Metroplex area that need to be dealt with more or less simultaneously.

The primary target is the Stillwater community on the edge of the Redmond Barrens. Secondary targets are associated groups; a runner team called Balefire who are based out of Renton, specifically their hacker who is believed to be one of these Technomancers, and a political figure, Jared Engles who has been publicly supporting these Technomancers and privately funding their terrorist activities.

On the face of it the Stillwater group are hippies and back to nature types living in a commune but analysis of their data traffic shows that there is much more going on beneath the surface. They have confirmed links to eco cells, anti government and corporate groups and the Seattle shadow community. We will infiltrate their central compound and access their offline servers and download the information. Force has been authorised and we anticipate reasonable resistance. Threat assessment is Beta Four. I can tell you that the UCAS authorities have provided us with the option of calling in a metroplex guard air strike if the intelligence proves to be accurate; this is a measure of the seriousness of this mission.

Balefire are assessed as threat level Alpha and Engles as Beta Eight.

Time is of the essence, we need to gather this information before the Sojourner incident escalates, wheels are up in twenty, any questions?”

To be continued…

Mission Targets:

Target Images: Stillwater Community

Target 1 Dr Simon Finney [Dwarf snake shaman, cybertechnologist, community leader, SINer] The driving force behind the Stillwater community. He was a reputed Transhumanist lecturer at Seattle U until he left to persue this ‘experiment.’ [Threat Lvl 2]
Target 2 “Desire” [Human shaman, community leader & head of the Stillwater Circle, SINless?] Less is known about her and her background and no SIN has been found. She is a European, possibly British and is reportedly responsible for the regrowth magics in the area. The Stillwater circle is believed to be a shamanic initiatory group. [Threat Lvl 3]
Target 3 Kate Franklin [Human geneticist, SINer] She followed Dr Finney from Seattle U and is now playing an active part in their transhuman agenda. [Threat Lvl 2]
Target 4 Lucy Holt [Dwarf Transhuman politician, SINer] An active matrix participant in Seattle politics it would be unfortunate if anything visibly happened to her. [Threat Lvl 1 / 5]
Target 5 “Ricardo” [Orc shadowrunner, spy / info gatherer, SINless] Having been employed by a third party he is the source of much of our soft intel on the Community and is believed to still be on site. [Threat Lvl 3]
Target 6 Yoshio Harada [Human cybertechnologist, SINer] Not much is known about him other than he is believed to have come from one of the Japanacorps specialising in cutting edge cyber and matrix research. [Threat Lvl 2]
Target 7 Geoffrey Dreen “Rush”? [Dwarf hacker, possible Technomancer, SINless] On the face of it an uninteresting individual, he is believed to be an active hacker on various pirate VPNs under the handle Rush. [Threat Lvl 4]
Target 8 Nathan King [Human theoretical thaumatergist, SINer] A leading scientific mind in research in to combining technology and magic he does not represent a significant threat, although his creations within the Community might. [Threat Lvl 1]
Target 9 Feral [Human adept, leader of the Wolf Pack, SINless] An enigma, there is little information on him other than wildly improbable tales of his martial prowess. He is the leader of the adept initiatory group, the Wolf Pack. [Threat Lvl 6?]
Target 10 Sasha Wilde [Elf talismonger, SINless] Working in Touristville she has links to the group and is known to deal with them for telisma farmed in the magic rich environment around the Community. [Threat Lvl 2]
Target 11 Monika Novac [Community decker & matrix researcher, SINer] An old school decker who lends her matrix skills to the already considerable matrix presence of the community. [Threat Lvl 4]
Target 12 Andrew Novac “Cypher” [Human adept, SINer] Monika’s son and an adept in the Wolf Pack, his recruitment was what led Monika to the community. [Threat Lvl 5]
Target 13 Justin Akiyama [Human Corp Sec Officer, Ares Arms, St. James Lake, Redmond, SINer] A number of the Stillwater community are employed at the facility and he is thought to supply them with equipment and intelligence. [Threat Lvl 4]
Target 14 Jared Engles [Human pro Technomancer politician, SINer] [Threat Lvl 3]
Target 15 Dinah Lane [Elf courtesan, shadowrunner “Whisp”?, SINer] [Threat Lvl 5]
Target 16-20 Balefire Runner Team [Bale, human combat mage, Mother, orc rigger, Escapade, human infiltrator, Silk, orc infiltrator, Aria, human Technomancer?] [Threat Lvl 9]

This will give you some idea of who you may be up against, at least the significant players.

There are approx. 8 mages/shamans in the Community, 12 adepts and rumours of 5 TMs. There are 40 or so CyWolves who form the security force for the area. Given the nature of the group a large number of the 'civillians' will have cyber modifications and be considered a minor threat to the task force.

NPC Character Notes:

[ Spoiler ]

Cpt. Daniel Stern is a competent and respected captain, he seems to take his surname too seriously and is not known for his sense of humour. He is the ‘lead from the rear’ type rather than a gung ho soldier boy
• Cpl. “Kit” Sharp is a rookie pilot whose father is one of the Deep Watch management who wants her to experience ‘corporate conflict’
• Sgt. Reid is a tech head in every way, his minute attention to detail can sift data out of the most cluttered comm chatter and keep the DW comms running cleanly
• Sgt. Lee is a haughty elf with too high an opinion of himself, he is little liked, and it doesn’t help that his area of expertise goes largely unwitnessed by the other DW personnel

Note: 1DW spotter and 2 runners have been sent to deal with Engles. A full squad of DW, including 2 combat mages, have been sent against Balefire.

Background/Personality:

[ Spoiler ]

Background:
Quinton "Armored" Greaves, as he is known now, was not always so menancing. Quinton was born premature to a low class, slave wage family. Unable to provide him with great medical care and his body was weak and brittle. His parents, overwhelmed by debt, "enrolled" Quinton into a medical program sponsored by the government, signing away any rights to him. Quinton was sent to various medical facilities and tested. He was elected for evasive, experimental surgeries and replacements.

He resided in medical facilities, tested daily, until the crash. The crash, which he presumed was caused by Technomancers, allowed him to escape the facilities, but caused the deaths of many of his "friends" in the medical facilities. Unware of how to survive in the real world, he was found wandering the wildlands was found by a Deep Watch patrol and brought in for questioning. It was eventually surmised that he was telling the truth and was given the opportunity to join Deep Watch. Since then, he's been a diehard Deep Watch mercenary. He's intensely loyal to Deep Watch, and will always follow order and never question anything, as he does not want to jeapordize his relation to his family.

Personality:
He blames Technomancers for the crash and killing his friends in the medical facility. He hates them with a passion, and wants to kill them all. Ever since being freed, he's fallen in love with Urban Brawl, he loves watching it. He's deeply loyal to Deep Watch, which is his adopted family. He's a no bullshit soldier, who will tell you like it is. He's not really scared, because he's been through a lot worse.

Contacts

Doc M (Loyalty 1 Connection 2 Elf Male, 40 years old)
The ‘M’ might be for ‘Malpractice’, or even ‘Murder’. Doc M never actually said, and no one seems willing to ask. Regardless of the name, this street doc occasionally calls in Dahlia for operation assistance, and even seems to have a respectable patient survival rate. He honestly thinks that Dahlia is off her rocker. But, that doesn’t stop him from occasionally selling her drugs and medical supplies that are probably better left out of Dahlia’s hands. He operates out of a private street clinic in a rougher part of town.

“Sage” (Loyalty 3 Connection 1 ??? Male, 22 years old)
Between taking care of her younger brother, pulling a legitimate job, and moonlighting as a criminal, Dahlia doesn’t get a lot of time to herself. Without the time and energy to dedicate to a romantic relationship, Dahlia needed a logical and efficient way to take care of her own…needs. Enter Sage, one of a handful of joytoys that Dahlia occasionally hires, and her clear favorite. Dahlia intrigues Sage, who just doesn't have the common sense to know any better, and he’ll gladly sell one of his favorite regulars information, too, if that’s what she’s looking for.

“Bagman” (Loyalty 1 Connection 2 ??? ???, ??? years old)
A shady character who always wears a respirator when speaking to Dahlia. The young woman has never seen Bagman without a full hood, longcoat, and respirator or gasmask, and doesn't know anything about the Tamanous operative. Dahlia met Bagman through Doc M when she was charged with getting rid of a few bodies. Sometimes Dahlia needs to make a few bodies of her own disappear, now. And sometimes those bodies have some cyber that could fetch a good price. So Bagman's number is committed to memory.

Belladonna (Loyalty 3 Connection 1 Human Female, 34 years old)
A drug and toxin artist and supplier that has a loyal, regular customer in Dahlia. After a few years of business, both women shared a few drinks and learned a little bit about each other. It isn't quite enough to make them friends, especially since Belladonna seems to have a serious paranoid streak. But, it was enough for both of them to gain a mutual respect for one another. Although, that doesn't stop Belladonna from occasionally wondering exactly what Dahlia has planned for all of the crazy stuff she buys.

Important NPCs

Asim Bekhit (Human Male, 12 years old, student)
Dahlia’s much younger half-brother, the son of her father and an unknown woman. A lover of videogames, Urban Brawl, and attempting to perform skateboarding tricks. He’s somewhat embarrassed by the fact that his sister seems to be the hugest nerd on the face of the planet and never does anything cool. She doesn’t even work in a big lab—just at the hospital. Deep down, Asim has a gut feeling that there’s something off about his sister. But, he can’t really put words to it. A rather average kid.

Chione Bekhit (Human Female, 48 when deceased)
Dahlia’s mother, a housewife who part-timed cooking in an Egyptian restaurant on occasion.

Dahlia and Asim’s father, a scientist.

Backstory

[ Spoiler ]

Dahlia always had a mind like a tool laser: precise, intense, blindingly bright, but just as likely to destroy as to create. Her childhood was rather normal and average, or at least not bizarre enough to cause her parents alarm. With a father working in bioengineering, Dahlia’s leanings towards the sciences were more of a source of pride than worry in the family. And so a few…proclivities were often overlooked. And these were minor things—growing cultures of the flu virus in the refrigerator, Darwinian breeding experiments on local frog populations, etc. As long as Dahlia was brilliant, these things were barely even talked about.

Dahlia grew up, speeding through her education and along the way convincing her parents that she should get a sleep regulator once she was accepted into a university. At UC Irvine, Dahlia managed to graduate in three years with degrees in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, with minors in Parazoology and Psychology—courtesy of the fact that the young woman almost never needed to sleep. A half-dozen of Dahlia’s experiments were banned from ever being repeated—including one where she trained a flock of pigeons around campus to turn cannibalistic. Of course, these things were noted on her record. Eventually, the same laboratory that hired Dahlia’s father began courting Dahlia as well—on the strict condition that she undergo a full psychological evaluation.

The evaluation came back—and Dahlia Bekhit was declared, for all intents and purposes, just about as sane as every other mad genius. There was no official diagnosis made, since ‘Mad with Science’ is not a disorder recognized by the DSM. But, comments and notes were made. Brilliance and madness are so often hand-in-hand that the young woman’s oddities seemed almost expected.

At the age of twenty, Dahlia began working in her father’s laboratory—working on several Masters degrees in her off-time. Predictably, tragedy struck. During a routine experiment, a compound that should have been stable went volatile—causing an explosion that spared Dahlia, but took her father’s life. On the same night, Dahlia’s mother was hit by a drunk driver and died before reaching the hospital. Although no evidence ever surfaced to suggest that the lab accident was Dahlia’s fault, and she was never blamed by anyone else, Dahlia held herself completely responsible for the fiasco.

She suffered a complete and utter psychotic break, during which she was fired from her job and put on academic probation until she could prove her own emotional stability. Some weeks later, Dahlia received a call from social services. Her father had left behind a young son fourteen years Dahlia’s junior—who she had never even heard of. The boy’s mother was missing, and no family from her side of the family could be located. Dahlia was his closest family, and the boy would go up for adoption if no one would take him in.

In an overnight 180, Dahlia cleaned herself up, and started making calls. Her father had been acquainted with a few people, more than enough to get Dahlia at least a part-time job. The family house was sold, and Dahlia bought a new apartment. The young woman cleaned herself up and cut her hair. When Dahlia appeared to claim custody of her younger half-brother, the cracks in her psyche weren’t even visible. To the court, Ms. Bekhit was only wonderfully intelligent, clean and well-groomed. A perfect citizen. Dahlia’s brother would have everything he ever needed. He would have no worries.

And so began Dahlia’s spiral into first they greyer areas of work, and later the downright illegal. A part-time job at a local hospital could only pay so many of the bills. Eventually, Dahlia tracked down a local street doc, and began assisting in surgeries on known criminals and mercenaries. And after learning enough about the shadow world to consider it lucrative enough to risk, Dahlia wanted in. The young woman’s in to the shadow community came in the form of another ethnic Egyptian, a sniper by the name of Sethi that Dahlia helped to treat.

Most of Dahlia’s money went into providing Asim with the illusion of a normal life, and augmenting her own body to better suit the rigors of the underworld. With the sleep regulator, Dahlia could work a ‘normal’ shift at a local hospital during the afternoon or evening, get home in time to help her younger brother with homework, tuck him in, and then take a trip into the underworld for another night and morning of biological terrorism and butchery. She’d be home just in time to pack her brother's lunch for the next day of school.

Personality and Motivations

[ Spoiler ]

Physical Description: A woman of Nubian Egyptian and Arabic decent, with dusky skin and jade-green eyes. Both her height and build are very average. She stands at just over 5'5'' and weighs around 140lbs. Dahlia keeps her black hair around shoulder length, usually tied back in a low tail at the nape of her neck. She's could be considered an attractive woman, but not classically beautiful and certainly not head-turning.

Personality: There's something very off about Dahlia, and it's obvious. On the surface, it's just the eccentricity that comes with certain occupations. But, the observant and the savvy can quickly suss out more than a few hints of genuine disturbance. For all intents and purposes, Dahlia does not seem to have any personal code of conduct or morals--only adapting her behavior at any given time to avoid unnecessary altercations. Similarly, she doesn't appear to have any loyalties or ties to corporations, nations, or groups of people in general. It's like she doesn't even form attachments, period. Her behavior isn't psychotic enough to make her too dangerous to work with. But, others often find it worrisome.

Dahlia almost seems like she's dreaming, flitting from task to task and job to job without any overarching plans or ambitions, only following her occasional obsessions and the all-powerful nuyen. Even then, she doesn't even seem to like money. The woman's expressions are often distracted, like she's living somewhere between a dream and nightmare and can't quite figure out which it is. On good days, she seems almost lucid. But, those days are just as common as more erratic episodes. The only thing that's keeping her from being committed to an institution is the lack of anyone to do so. In general, she's considered a competent individual--if you're willing to overlook the fact that she's off her rocker. Her only anchor to reality seems to be her younger brother.

Motivations: Today it's the almighty nuyen. Dahlia has come to the conclusion that she'd like to move Asim to a nicer neighborhood. To do that, she needs money. To get money, she needs work. And it so happens that Deep Watch was in the market for a combat medic--or the closest thing to one.

I'm interested in playing a Combat Vehicle Rigger. Probably ground vehicles, but if there's some interest I wouldn't mind playing a helicopter guy.

I know you said no hackers, but I'm thinking a Rigger with only the most basic of protective hacker skills.

Background Foo

[ Spoiler ]

Corporal Steve Gallaway, AKA "Sticks", was born with a rare congenital nervous disorder. His nervous system is glitched, as he likes to call it. A combination of nerve damage and strange brain wiring has made Steve Gallaway a paraplegic from birth. He grew up a ward of Deep Watch, his father being a Deep Watch Operative. His schooling was funded by Deep Watch and his father's pension. When he was 12 years old, his father died in a 'Training Exercise." Steve had never really known his mother, as she had disappeared years before. As a teenager Steve showed serious acumen as a warrior and a pilot. All matrix based off course. While Steve couldn't pass a physical to save his life. Once he's linked with a machine, he is well on his way to being one of the best riggers Deep Watch has. Sticks signed up with Deep Watch at 18 as a Private. He's worked his way up to Corporal in the last 4 years. His personalized Terrier helps him get around. He's developed a reputation for being 'all in' on every mission. He's pulled off a couple of daring rescues that saved the lives of the teams he was extracting.

Personality:
Gun Ho, Young Dumb and Full of ***, Sticks will be the first to volunteer for something daring and stupid. Coruse, that he's usually riding a drone or vehicle to do it probably helps with his feelings of immortality.
Motivations:
His fathers' death, and Deep Watch raising him as one of their own. He wants to prove that just because his flesh is weak, does not mean he's not capable of handling himself on the battlefield.

This is my basic premise.
You asked about Military grade stuff.
There's a couple of vehicle options I'd throw at you :) that you can say no to.

MiG-67 LAV Avail 20F Cost: 950,000
Modded Ares Dragon: Avail 12F Cost: 500,000 + mods (Cargo Helicopter)
Modded Ares Roadmaster Avail 4 Cost: 48K + mods
Modded Tata Hotspur Avail 8 Cost: 60k + mods

Additionally if there was interest by the rest of the group. Vehicle could host a nexus running our tacnet. (If DeepWatch would give us that kind of hardware)

[Relecs]

Born Frank Tull, now goes by the name Dozer due to his stature and the way things seem to move out of his way. He is a battering ram, a tank, and a movable barricade if need be. That aside he is far from incapable of stealth and managed to keep his specially commissioned suit of Milspec after he was honorably discharged from the UCAS special forces. Unfortunatley for him they wouldn't let him keep the panther on his way out the door.

@Aria I assume you mentioned "Dozer" being in the second wave due to his tactics, I thought "Mick" might be more appropriate for the first wave. I'm open to playing either, both, or switching between waves.

[klinktastic]

For other PC's reference, I posted up a generic outline what my character in the spoiler in my post above. Do the same so we know what each other are thinking.

[Aria]

I'm interested. Working up a stealth sam (more stealth, less street). I'll have a character sheet over to you this afternoon.

Here's the basic outline of my cybered merc specialist. He's the point man for a Black Watch recon/strike squads. With his 'ware, he's got built in armor, and with his stealth skills and jacked up perception, he makes an obvious point man.

Yep, this looks good…although I think the smilies in your sheet may be a glitch 

I think I'll jump over here until unsound resurfaces. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If it's cool with you, I'd like to play Dahlia--who's probably been hired to make up the numbers and/or provide support for actual Deep Watch members. Her character sheet is up on the 2072 master database.

Great, I’ve always liked Dahlia. We’ll work something out with Unsound if she ends up posting in both threads at the same time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I'm interested in playing a Combat Vehicle Rigger. Probably ground vehicles, but if there's some interest I wouldn't mind playing a helicopter guy.

I know you said no hackers, but I'm thinking a Rigger with only the most basic of protective hacker skills.

I’m old school SR enough to think of Riggers as a slightly different ball game to hackers…looks good to me!

Born Frank Tull, now goes by the name Dozer due to his stature and the way things seem to move out of his way. He is a battering ram, a tank, and a movable barricade if need be. That aside he is far from incapable of stealth and managed to hand on to his specially commissioned suit of Milspec after he was honorably discharged from the UCAS special forces. Unfortunatley for him they wouldn't let him keep the panther on his way out the door.

Well I suspect you may be in the second wave but that’s cool 

Thanks for these guys…will keep on looking through the character sheets and get back to you with any queries! There will be more info appearing in the first post soon...will let you know so you can go back and check on it.

Cheers

[klinktastic]

Well if we have 4 characters ready to roll, and if that suits your storyline, let us know and we can get this into motion. I'm hoping there lots of action!!!

[Aria]

We'll give Sabs some time to flesh out a concept...I know from experience the rigger options take a while to go through!

In the meantime any requisition requests? I'm thinking tacnet 4 for a start!

[Relecs]

I have 2 Requisitions one is a personal item and the second would be a team item.

1. Ares Vigourous Assault Cannon
2.Ares City Master (SR4A) with the following Upgrades
a) Antitheft
b)+20 Armor
c) Passenger Protection (rating 6)
d) Personal Armor 10
e) Ram Plate
f) Reinforced Armored heavy Turret mount
f2) GM Light Cannon

For reference the vehicle is the equivelant of 30.24 BP's

[Relecs]

(Double Post)

[AStarshipforAnts]

I'm paralyzed by the infinite goodies I could ask for. Anyone got any ideas on what to outfit the team medic and demoman with?

[Doc Chase]

An r6 medkit. A full range of slap patches. A doctor's kit.

A few satchels of explosives. An eyepatch. A bottle of scotch. A black beanie cap.

Oh, and a linguasoft with Auld Scots.

[sabs]

DId you look under my spoilers Aria?
I think I have a decent concept.. but only if I can get the main vehicle as special gear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I still have a little bit of money to squeeze out, so I might try and squeeze out a 2nd one of those flying medium drones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And I ofcourse completely approve of Relecs Groundmaster Request, especially if the LAV is right out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[klinktastic]

Could always throw a Crashcard AutoDoc in the Citymaster as well.

As far as special needs, I'm good. I could potentially use a sniper rifle to complement my stealth and mobility. I'm not to concerned either way though.

As an FYI for my team, one of my contacts is a Deep Watch Quartermaster. We can probably get him to help us out.

[AStarshipforAnts]

AutoDoc? You have Dahlia to patch you up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

And speaking of Dahlia, I've got a little shopping list for the quartermaster, courtesy of AH's PACKS.

100 meters of detonating cord [2,500¥],
50 1-kg sticks of dynamite [4,000¥],
3 kilograms of foam explosive (15) [4,500¥],
10 blasting caps [100¥],
10 radio detonators [400¥],
3 light sticks [15¥],
3 radiation film badges [75¥],
demolitions toolkit [500¥],
ear plugs (3, w/select sound filter(3)) [630¥],
4 fake licenses (4, blasting caps, detonating cord, dynamite, radio detonators) [1,600¥],
miniwielder [250¥],
monofilament chainsaw [300¥],
wireclippers [25¥],
4 doses of CS/Tear gas [80¥]
2 bottles of whiskey [25¥]

Total: 15,000¥

[Relecs]

Just wanted to mention I've included a second character concept along with the first.

[klinktastic]

Relecs, I like both characters, but your 2nd one would complement our stealth forces well. And some B&E would help our team I think as well.

[Aria]

@Aria I assume you mentioned "Dozer" being in the second wave due to his tactics, I thought "Mick" might be more appropriate for the first wave. I'm open to playing either, both, or switching between waves.

If you're up for the challenge then I'm happy for you to play both, Dozer coming along when the sh*t hits the fan (which it almost certainly will do otherwise where's the challenge to you lot?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )! Anyone else want a second character then we could do with a mage of some sorts...

@ Dahlia, do you intend to carry that lot?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...and that's really cheap whisky, you going to clean engines with it???!!!

@ Everyone, could I have some basic character background from you all (unless you want to write up a full bio?)? Given that it is going to be a single mission the things I am most interested in are personality, motivations, anything you won't do...?

Vehicle wise, I was thinking of a Citymaster running an Evo Mobile Terminus nexus, a load of drone racks and possibly a couple of laser guided mortars? The rest of you would turn up in a couple of Fed Boeing Commandos (military variants of the Commuter) and then walk in to preserve stealth.

I will look at the rest of the requisitions this morning! Sorry for not posting up more background stuff...will get to that.

[sabs]

Updated my post with background info under the 2nd spoiler.

Aria.. so I take it a LAV is right out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Still, I can make a GroundMaster work.

Who else would be riding in with the GroundMaster?

[AStarshipforAnts]

Absolutely not, all of that's going into the Citymaster! I'll work up a list of what she's got on person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

Engines...wounds...masking the smell of chloroform...the possibilities are endless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif)

I've already got Dahlia's backstory up in her character sheet. But, I'll throw up something slightly more relevant to Emerging later today.

[Aria]

Updated my post with background info under the 2nd spoiler.

Aria.. so I take it a LAV is right out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Still, I can make a GroundMaster work.

Who else would be riding in with the GroundMaster?

I haven't ruled out a LAV, it's just I've never thought they made particularly good operations hubs - it most cost a fortune to keep one 'on station' whereas a Citymaster just turns the engine off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) They are also not exactly subtle and might draw unwanted attention flying across Seattle! Convince me otherwise if you can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

As to who else might be on board with you, I suspect your signals int officer (hacker) and possible a guard/gunner to man the vehicle while you go jaunting off in VR.

[AStarshipforAnts]

I threw up some more information on Dahlia on my original post.
