I was just trying to save the poor guy from being smashed through a wall by Mister Joshua (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Mostly if I get access to his memories I will ask the good Captain what he wants to know. |

QUOTE (mister__joshua @ Apr 15 2011, 05:17 PM)  Hee hee. Did my intimidate work? I know he's been mindread now, but I like the old methods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It was a good roll...but he's not too bright, built like a brick sh*t house, and has a home turf advantage... What do you want to know from the mind reading stuff? You have access (of sorts) to his memories...will try and IC soon Just a word of warning, I'm going to be away from the 21st, probably to the end of the month and I'm unlikely to be able to post (being on a boat...) so sorry, and for not being able to post in your thread Seth...

Welcome back Aria.
BigFella and I are still here, we are just being quiet as there is little we can contribute to the Powers That Be deciding whether to run or fight My two-pennies worth are that we should pull out now. This is likely to be a war not a battle. If we fight this battle now I think we will loose, but I think we will win the war. Putting that another way, in a number of games I have been in the position that this community is in, and its not pretty. Their only hope was to stay hidden until they got strong enough to survive, or finished whatever they are trying to do. If they want a full on war I am sure that the megacorporations and Seattle will be happy to give them one. So if we do walk away, what happens to this gaming group? I have enjoyed playing and would like the story to continue... I had a few thoughts for you:

Thanks, will try and get an IC post today...don't worry I have still have some nasty tricks up my sleeve to keep you all involved for a little bit longer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
That being said I do have two sequel games and a spin off all revolving around technomancer emergence and persecution...would be great if you were all interested in continuing the themes, possibly with the same characters or with new... Sabs, Blackhat, Mr J, you still with us? |

I'll admit, he's worried about Kitt, but Sticks is ready to get the frak out of this building. |

Wow what a plot twist. OK well if psycho crazy bitch turns up in the middle of peace negotiations I guess that's going to put a dent in the negotiations.
So before Joshua or I kick off the last gun fight of Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid, you know the one...the one where they are hopeless outnumbered and surrounded, I had better do some information gathering. I am guessing we are into combat round. I cannot remember whether I am in or out of body, so I will assume I am in body. I'll take a free action to assense Mrs Shrike and Aria. I'll then blast Shrike with a spell. My thinking on Aria is as follows: she teleported in. Probably she is a spirit (maybe even a free spirit). Maybe some hacker emulates her form. Maybe she is a technomantic spirit, maybe she was invisible. In any case I have to get some intelligence on her. Initiative: I'll take the 4:1 rule and go 7. Almost certainly last Assensing: A miserable 2 successes Casting stun bolt Force 8 A much better 5 successes Soak using 4:1 rule By the way I am hoping that Aria will recognise I am trying to defuse the situation and will do the cool free spirit thing of buffing the spell, or at the very least not counter magic it. |

I'm here. Couldn't remember when you were back and was checking every few days, but seems i missed you by 3!

No I think she teleported in: QUOTE Another figure appears on the staircase near Joshua, seemingly out of a tear in reality or as if she teleported in. She is a young girl, somewhere between eight and ten years old with long flowing hair and an impish face, although it now shows nothing but concern...

Maybe. I was looking at this bit
QUOTE (Aria @ May 3 2011, 11:39 AM) [23:23 August 22, 2070 – Stillwater Eco Tower Level 2] Your facial recognition software does a mental skip and then identifies her as the hacker Aria, part of the Balefire runner team that was targeted earlier today as part of this operation...except it is tentatively her matrix icon rather than a confirmed visual...perhaps she is one of these technos who use their own image as their icon...? Maybe that's me not understanding it correctly though. Either way, I doubt she's a spirit. Just doesn't feel right. Also, spirits can't VR and that'd seem weird for a hacker. I guess we'll see....

I'm moving on Matrix time, Sticks will drop /into/ his machine gun drone, and then he should be just as fast as crazy fast bitch. (4IP for the win) he's going to spend 1 simple action taking aim.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sorry for not posting more this week, whole family has been horribly ill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Will try and get an IC post done tomorrow... To clarify: she looks like the icon of Aria but is too real for that...whether or not she's a spirit will remain to be seen... Combat time is ensuing (I'm GM ruling auto surprise for an entire round for them turning up...more because I don't want to go back an rewrite my IC post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) So, brand new round, I'll stick with the initiative in post 358 (link from Pg 1, post 1 of this thread) unless someone desperately wants me to go and modify that (?!?)...Sticks is aiming and Gash will fire off his stun spell in phase 1. No one else really has a clear shot as she's in the middle of platoon 1...Cpt Roberts is fairly close though... Joshua, don't forget you've seen movement on the stairs above you and Aria is standing near you You've all had reports of the enemy closing in on your position...this could all be one big (bloody) distraction...?!? Unless anyone wants to change your positioning I'm assuming from top to bottom we have

Will post something tonight. My computer got a virus (damn technomancers), so I've been getting it reformatted for the last couple of days, but I should have time to post some reaction tonight.

I will edit if the sleep spell works and defuses the situation. Otherwise, however, Robert will give the order to his men to snap into action.

We are onto phase 2...assume the 3 grenades will arrive at the end of the round...
Sabs, I know I didn't give you a chance to blast Shrike but don't worry, there are plenty more hostiles incoming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) |

OK this looks grim.
As Gash I am rubbish against grenades (I do magical threats). I think the best think for me to do is: 1: Emergency first aid anyone alive 2: Get the dead and wounded out If you want me to anything else just yell an order. [ Spoiler ] Services requested: countermagic and first aid (so far). Next round if I can I will triage: i.e. use first aid to see who will benefit from stabilisation. Since I am not using the first aid kit, thats just: 3 successes (5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1), looking at the two wounded by blades, and the one thrown in the air. |

I'm looking over my options.
is their a door or anything to close? Is there anything I can grab as a shield to put in the way? If not can I position myself to take most of the blast, and act as a bit of shield for the weaker of us? |
