Hmmm, i think drones, if we've got any to spare, might be a good delivery system, now that i think about it, if we have any that are capable of delivering say, 25 kilos or so.
Offsite explosions are definately a good idea. Can we find out if this particular corp has holdings anywhere else within seattle? |

Aku, how much explosives do you think it will take to take down one of those buildings...we could always try to purchase a few nightglider ultralites and remote them. Instead of an 80 kg pilot, they'd have an 80kg payload in the cockpit.

Aku - You know you would need multiple charges. Unless you were specifically going into the building and setting shaped charges, you'll need four, and you have a good idea of exactly what four points on the building you'd need to apply the explosives to to cause the desired effect. Unfortunately, to take out a building that size without being able to shape and place the explosives, it will require approximately 25k of explosives for each of the four tagets.

just to make sure i can get my jaw off the ground fenris, did you mean 25 Kilo's of explosives, or 25 thousand nuyen worth? because at 80 nuyen a kilo, that'd be ~300 kilos PER spot....
granted, i'm NOT a real demo person, but that seems...high, even if it's not a shaped charge... |

psh, thats cake :)
hell, technically, the 25 thousand nuyen worth is ALMOST cake.. i already have 80K worth lol, but i thought i should be able to being down more than 1 building with all of that. So, do we have enough, or can we accquire enough drones, with ~30-35 kilos of carrying capacity, the ability to stop quickly, and are cheap enough for us to consider them disposable... although, that may not nessecarily be true, IF theres some way the drones could be rigged to open a hatch that drops the package... That might even let us do it with one drone, but that might be a bit easier to spot, as we're then looking for something at closer to 150K carrying capacity. |

Buddha and I have worked out a diversion to keep Lonestar otherwise occupied--you just need to drop an IC hint to us.

I'm stuck, I'm not sure we're going to post or Fenris or what, we need direction from our fearless GM I think.

Aku--I think that's Sparky...
Cedric--If we are feeling bold, we can just push on to the apartment...as long as we don't screw with time or overwrite reality...we should be ok. **Ducks his head to make sure his impudence is not swiftly and severely punished** |

Hmm. I'd say assume for the moment that the safehouse is a rental building, 1 floor, large open space, probably limited amenities, basic luxuries. She's a rigger, after all.
Let's just work within those criteria and post on. If Sparky needs to correct something later we can handle that then. After all, it's not like I'm planning on ambushing you guys here or anything, you're just getting together to discuss the details of your nerfarious plot ;) |

Alan likes his luxuries - though his idea of luxury may differ from most. Rest assured there's really good security and food. Decent comforts. Good storage area for gear and vehicles, gun safes and the like.
Facility used to be a taxidermists (specializing in para-critters), so there's lots of creepy stuff around still, I'm sure. Also note that Alan is a news junkie, so there's probably a well equipped media room - to supplement the portable media center in his head. :) He'd know the team's quirks/requirements (anyone he knew was coming anyway) and would have made arrangements for them as well. |

You folks probably ought to stop using the Recruitment thread and start using an OOC one. I thought another game was starting.

Actually, I told them to keep using it if they wanted for private communications just among the team. I don't think it's really a problem, as it's obvious when you read just the last page what's going on.
Thanks though! ;) |

sorry toptom... i think the reason we keep using this one is because we're seperate from the main group (which is actually hiring us mercs, so we're still having some discussions seperate from the main group ooc...
