No. If it's C, then you have to beat them all up in melee while skyclad (or maybe in boxers). Then, see A.

(Going back to earlier posts.) Yep, gotta keep that bottle of vodka in the trunk of the car.

CRASH!
Me: "You okay buddy?"
Him: "Yeah, I think.... just shaken up."
Me: "My fault, I guess. No, it's okay, have a seat. My fault. You sure you're okay?"
Him: "...."
Me: "You look pale. Here, take a swig of this, it'll calm the nerves."
Him: (Drinks, pauses,) "Aren't you gonna have some?"
Me: "Nope, not 'till after the cops have been here."

Well, it might work.

What?
Only one bolt hole?

Okay, first off, don't be so predictable. A good operator will tail you for at least three to four weeks to let things settle and you to stop being so spooked.

Keep two to three bolt holes and at least one B.o.B. (Bail out Bag). Plus an emergency kit in each of your rides.

B.o.B.
B.o.B. should be kept light and to the point. If you need B.o.B. your are currently running from your flat after being caught in the shower by a Renraku hit team, who by some miracle cocked it up enough for you to get out of the bloody tub.

You should keep B.o.B. someplace where there is high traffic and a low probability of discovery.

Contents:
-1 x reliable side arm (common calibre easily purchased in the local area). My preference would be for a Sig P226 or a Browning, but hey, old habits die hard.
-3 x magazines for said side arm.
-1 x concealable holster.
-2 x magazine carriers.
-1 x sturdy folding knife
- wrap the above articles in a heavy plastic garbage bag.
-enough ammo to reload the magazines twice.
-Reliable torch (Surefire in my books).
-3 x change of batteries (be sure to change them out at each check).
- 1000.00 in local currency various denominations.
- 1000.00 in local denomination certified credstick.
-1 x small first aid kit.
-1 x "bus ticket" to someplace you have been before (NEVER use this ticket!).
-1 x change of clothing.
-1 x set of fake I.D.

Make sure you check on B.o.B. every few months, check weapons & clean them in a discrete location. Make sure the batteries are exchanged for fresh, use the old ones on a run or during day to day life.

Bolt Hole
The bolt hole is one of the more vulnerable places as it is static and you can't easily move it. But it should be moved after it has been used or once every six months. No exceptions. A lot of trouble but isn't your life worth it?

Keep it looking lived in, visit it at least once a week, in attire that would suggest your career forces you to spend excessive time away from home. That way you can keep the locals placated with the knowledge that you "spend a lot of time abroad, working"... Mind the locals chaps, they have been here a long time, so they know how to live here.

-1 full replacement kit for your job as a runner. Yeah, you heard me right.
- 10,000.00 in local currency in various denominations.
- 10,000.00 in local currency certified credstick.
-Keys to a second, reliable, vehicle (nothing flash folks, this isn't a James Bond movie).
-1 complete replacement wardrobe.
-1 complete set of furniture, appliances and sundry items.
-At least two hidden compartments for valuables. I know they'll find it eventually, but it also gives you a bargaining chip... and a second hidden compartment with some firepower, if you manage to get to it you might live...
-Extra ammo and replacement supplies for your running kit.
-Fake I.D. (remember that second hidden compartment?).
-CQB weaponry (a compact combat shotgun or a large calibre SMG) locked and loaded in above mentioned second hidden compartment.

Emergency Kit
The Emergency Kit in the back of your vehicle should be tailored to fit the compartment. A Rapier cannot hide a Panther Assault Cannon and ten extra mags. Be sure to check the Emergency Kit before and after each run, replace anything you used before you use it again. this one will be a bit vague, as what your respective runners carry will be pretty individual.

-1 x primary weapon + loaded magazines.
-1 x sidearm + loaded magazines.
-1 x replacement suit of armour.
-extra ammo and misc. ordinance.
-med kit.
-extra torch.
-extra vision ehancement devices.
-extra comm. set.
-extra batteries.
- 10,000.00 in local currency, various denominations.
- 10,000.00 in local currency on a certified credstick.

I know, it is pretty expensive, but hey, so is living in these troubled times chum. You wanna beat Ares or Renraku, be sure to not be there when they go to hit you.

Consider keeping a Bail Out Bag with a contact or an extra stashed in a locker somewhere. Somewhere that your contact or whatever pays the charges for you every month so that you never go there and leave no paper trail. . . .

A pre-paid (in cash), coffin motel, to store your items?

Yeah, the locker approach is good. maybe in a bus terminal... but maybe a gym, or something else. any suggestions?

You could always find the Seattle equivalent of this place.

Nowadays, you can get flashlights/torches that never need batteries, transforming solar or mechanical power into enough energy to last you for hours. I'd probably use one of those instead of a battery-powered one.

didn't the solar powered flashlight used to be a bad school yard joke?

I thought now a ' days they used something similar to what's in light sticks. Shake the flashlight and ta-da, there's light.

I have two, and as long as you don't mind dim/unreliable light they are alright, one uses a hand crank to turn a dynamo, and the other uses magnetic induction when you shake it, but there seems to be a problem with the storage battery, it doesn't hold charge, and charging the battery is a little hard to explain to some people. of course by 2050 LIon batteries should be cheap so just having a few sets and a charger should be fine. I'd stick with batterys, besides nothing beats a maglight. (and maglights are good for beating)

Dang it. I keep reading this thread title and I can't help but think of those Capital One commercials... 'What's in your wallet?'

Funny thing is I live in a complex that's within spitting distance of the Capital One headquarters. I keep kidding to my roommate that we should do a 'run' on the place. lol.

Dressed as vikings of course

Wait, are we talking SR or real life?

I was mixing the two a little. the thread is for SR.

LOL.

That's the closest thing i've seen to OOC "shadowtalk".

A wonderfull adaption if I have ever read one.

I remember once writing something like it was an informercial trying to sell a stick, string, and a rock on some fantasy rpg board. It was funny, I started with just the stick and then I kept adding in, 'wait, there's more.'

you'd also need some pre-cut, water proof, highly absorbant, easly knotable, inexpencive, sterile, stringettes, which is great for any number of emergancies which may befall a shodowrunner.

Hmm, some kind of "Bear-Kaer". Not a bad idea!

While true an empty bolt hole is odd and may attract attention, I would think that a simple story to cover why you are hardly there would work as well as spending lots of time there and those giving out the location of your bolt hole.

I mean if you work overseas alot and so only use the place for half the year and people in the area know that, then no problem when you get back.

And what with 2070 living, who knows there neighbours anyway ? Unless you get the one apartment block that the prairie dog shaman moves into your shinny.

Of course once you have used the bolt hole you can never go back. And after 6 months make it your normal home for 6months and get another bolt hole.
