OOC: Back into the Barrens, Restart of the Barren's Game Options

[Redjack]

Goon #2: Full Defense - REA(5) + Dodge(2) + Defender Running(2) [1,1,6,5,5,2,5,5,2] = 5 hits
Dodged!

Val: 2nd Shot - AGL(8) + Firearms(3) [5,6,6,6,6,5,1,3,2,1,1] = 6 hits
Goon #2: Full Defense - REA(5) + Dodge(2) + Defender Running(2) +Multiple Defense(-1) [5,2,5,3,3,4,1,5] = 3 hits
- Soak 8P, -1AP: Body(4) + Lined Coat(6) [3,3,2,4,2,4,4,5,1] = 1 hit
- 7P damage.

Compile R5 Crack Sprite: RES (5) + Compiling (5) → [4,3,5,3,5,2,1,3,3,6] = (3)
Sprite resists with Rating (5) → [4,1,5,2,6] = (2)
Soak Fading [2 Stun] with RES (5) + INT (5) → [6,5,2,1,4,6,3,6,1,5] = (5)

One task, no Fading, and sending it to hack us something with wheels. I assume that evacuation plans have gone AR so both the sprite and we have a rough idea where the nearest exit is?

[Redjack]

My notes seem incomplete on Hardwire's interpretation of the matrix, his persona, and his favored sculpting. Could you give me a little direction on that?

[Saytr]

FYI Val is looking for closest door to exit the facility.

He's a Dronomancer because that kinda seemed to fit the classical hacker/tinkerer archetype...and the Sprites and Fading are not bad, admittedly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

"the Matrix is a world of connected machines that he can talk with", I read two major points from that:
- The matrix is an emergent system, where the connection between simpler devices creates a more complex/better/smarter whole
- TMs talk to the machines directly, the machine code below all the pretty iconography.

"Sprites as embodiments of the spirits of the machines from which they manifest" sounds nice for Machine Sprites, the rest...exist because they do

His icon is Beastie the BSD Daemon, in combat situations changed to more aggressive demonic imagery. Sprites are creatures of the machine code and therefore not overly human, I'm thinking something like the blue cloud thing here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/images/3228/117424.jpg

Alarm or no, people are still evacuating the place, right?

You are at it.

See current post for details. You all were literally already out of bed when the alarms started. You are ahead of the pack, so to speak.

Are the panicked masses right on our heels, or does Hardwire's plan mean waiting far too long to be sane?

And being a good concerned citizen, can I inform that police that some Asian norm with a pink mohawk has just fired shot in the hospital?

I'll add another post that may help you with this.

You may always do something like that... It's hard for me to take your matrix connection. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

OK, I thought Val had gotten more clothes than just the body armor

Question is just if the police will take such an anonymous tip. But the worst that could happen probably is that they simply ignore it, so message away

[Redjack]

Technically, he had a t-shirt as well.

Exactly.

I assume that Padrig has no trouble recognizing these two as the people he dropped off at the hospital two weeks ago.

I assume that Padrig has no trouble recognizing these two as the people he dropped off at the hospital two weeks ago.

Let's say that both were pretty screwed up previously from their burns, but the jacket, the location, the fact of a pair, the current poor lighting... he can't be 100% sure, but it is no stretch to make that leap and feel confident about it.

[Redjack]

Couple of clarifications:
- The van is still running.
- Padrig not able to access the controls (OOC: Hardwire's sprite currently owns it)
- The van is parked at the sidewalk, straight down from the side exit. (You can holler up at them from where you are)

[Saytr]

I edited my post to make sense lol

[Sengir]

Just as a note to myself so I don't forget it: Check your home node/drone once there's time

[Sengir]

Back to Redmond sounds like a plan, any objections?

If I'm reading the map right, we're between the M and o in "Des Moines" on the Map here, does Area Knowledge[Seattle] 4 suggest a better course of action than simply heading for the Interstate?

[Redjack]

Padrig: Memory test - LOG(2) + WIL(6) [5,2,5,2,6,4,6,4] = 4 hits

Val: Memory test - LOG(6) + WIL(3) [2,2,1,1,1,6,1,2,2] = 1 hit

[Saytr]

I just posted lol. Does Val remember stump and lucky pawn?.

[Redjack]

Everything you have posted for Val and all the memories I posted for Val, he retains. The pair are beginning to realize that they have no memory of the past three weeks because they have been unconscious.

From the security raring this is a fairly nice area? 3 weeks is a long nap. I just wanted to clarify so I didn't post from previous knowledge, good take off post rate. Hope the next five years goes smoothly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Sengir]

From the security raring this is a fairly nice area?

All the more reason not to stay close to a crime scene (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

A lot of matrix-googling in order of precedence:
- Ping our fixer about Padrig and if he had anything to do with Athena
- Home sweet home, does the Fix-It drone there answer?
- The explosion at the warehouse, at least what semi-public sources say about it
- General headlines for the last 3 weeks


PS:

Hope the next five years goes smoothly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I was asked the other what I wanted to do in five years, "smoothly running campaign" sounds like a better answer than what I gave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[PraetorGradivus]

Padrig is going to assense his two companions
DP 9

Street Area Knowledge Seattle(1) + Intuition(4) [1,3,1,4,1] - CRITICAL GLITCH

- Ping our fixer about Padrig and if he had anything to do with Athena

Connection(3) + Connection(3) - [3,1,4,2,2,4] = 0 hits

Home sweet home, does the Fix-It drone there answer?

Yes. See IC

Padrig is going to assense his two companions: DP 9

Val: [1,2,3,2,1,5,6,3,6] = 3 hits
- Suddenly, highly agitated.
- Healthy.
- Mundane
- No diseases or toxins, though residual drugs in his body.
- Cyberware: His entire body, at the layer of his skin, is cybered. His skeleton is highlighted with a mesh across that skeleton as well.
Hardwire: [6,6,6,6,2,5,4,6,2] = 6 hits
- Calm, possibly a little frustrated.
- Healthy, but damaged on his skin across the front of his body.
- Mundane
- No cyberware.
- No diseases or toxins, though residual drugs in his body.
- No bioware.
- He was very badly burned. That is nearly healed.
- He is a technomancer.

See post 50, I never told them my name was Padrig- I used my fake SIN name of Xander Renvela... I told them they could call me Paddy cause everyone thinks anyone Irish is named Paddy...
