This is the out of charcter post for ship in a bottle.
IC over morning coffee. Sorry for the delay, again.
Also, I am going to try something out. Seeing as this takes place on a mostly fixed location, Im going to finish a bit of drawing and link it so I we can keep track of where you are, where everyone else is, and a few other things.
Im also looking for a good clear atlas site, so if any of you happen to know one, let me know?
Full Version: OOC: Ship in a bottle
And the IC start is up.
Quickie question before I post ic, am I part of the crew already as per the warm rum thread or should I work on getting the drones to the boat myself? Just thought I'd check before posting and making an ass of myself *8->
Your walking/driving/swimming to the location, having been accepted for the job.
Okey dokey *8->
A few questions;
(1) Is this a Play by Post Game or more of a Free Form Story game? (If the former, is it 3rd or 4th Edition?)
(2) Do we need to submit characters/backstories anywhere?
(3) What type of characters are encouraged/allowed in this game?
Thanks,

Your like 3 weeks too late. This is a game in progress.
Sorry, but no more bets please.

Okay not certain the resball can carry any of the wheeled drones but looking at the suggested weights by body and it payload it should be okay on weight.... can't remember the CF to volume ratio but I think that'll be okay but up to you Lindt, failing all else I guess it'll be a crate them and get DHL to deliver *8->
You could always rent a van.
Might have to, better start phoning around for prices *8->
Ah, being a poor shaman has it's advantages at times like these - like being able to travel relatively light 
Cool find Lindt *8-> I guess that'll be the 10' Truck for 2 hours (?) which would be $19.95 + $0.69/mile.... so say 40 nuyen?
Chump Change. I just like to put things in prespective. Such is the life of a drone rigger.
In case I didnt mention, and I dont think I did, Im going to be trying to post mon.wed.fri, depending on work. This week (and next week) are going to be all messed up with good friday, memorial day(Im kinda on the Boston marathon route), and me taking next friday off to go hit things with plumbing.

Hehe I miss my good ol' FC Bison *8-> sounds like a good schedule, I'll try to post each day (if it's sensible too of course and the boss doesn't get too nosy *8->)
Yeah, I'll try to post every day if I can too. Right now though, I'm waiting for a description of what I see at the address, so I can't really do anything.
Astral Perception:
I'll try to post every day, too. It will probably be later on the weekdays, though.

Perception:
Lindt I'll assume the panel van's my drones and write that in, if not I'll edit it in a bit. Oh and I'm not certain how much I can post over this weekend got a double bank holiday roleplay session decending on me *8-> But I'll definately try to get at least a read in each day.

Perception
The formal wear is going to present a problem for Sam. She doesn't have any and her appearance may present problems. She will attempt to negoiate her way around the problem, with the goal of exempting herself from the requirement without losing the job if possible or procuring some generic and unrevealing evening wear should the captain insist.
Negoation roll is

DIdn't think of doing that. I'll make that Negotiation roll too to see if we can work something out with this guy.
Dice: 5

For the less important things, such as the not seeing any cars, Ill just put what you see up in a spoiler tag, so I dont need to see those rolls, and Im sure you wont cheat =p
Ill adress the out comes in a bit in the IC thred.

Hank also doesn't have anything formal so I figure I'll borrow from the butler.
Lets see...a rich schmuck of a captain, heading to Commie country...

I suddenly wish I had a copy of Cyberpirates, or that SoLA had gotten published.
Also, a gentle reminder to disable .sigs in the IC posts.

I actually have Cyberpirates, if you want something looked up.
I guess we'll all be heading to the tailor not to look underdressed then as the best Spikes has is fine grade suit types, although I'm not even sure you could be tres chic with loads of holes in it *8->
Im making a bit of a retcon to the date. Hope no ones minds.
New post went up.

Fine by me *8-> Posted as well *8-> hopefully it's coherent but it's 4:48 am so brain mostly offline, I'll check and fix it (if necessary) tomorrow.
Hyz, He didnt ask specifficaly for a diver. I did. =p
Ya got till lunch tommorow to fix it, or I adress it in my post.

Since we have some time, I'd like to try to get a spanish lingsoft and background data on cuba.
Bumping this up so the game doesn't stall.
Spikes'll be staying on the boat and getting the drones in hidden but accessible spots in case their needed. I'd float a Condor up to keep overwatch but I think that'd attract more attention than it's worth in this area *8-> Oh and he'll drop the rented van back to the local depot.
Mal is going to find a cabin, unpack his stuff, and stay on the boat for the night.
C'mon guys, let's keep this game going. Still got a few people that haven't said what they're doing, I think.
Posted again, Lindt let me know if Soloman has any objections to the drone placement, etc and I'll edit the post to reflect it. I'll try to use either Stealth or Vehicle Stealth to hide the drones away so they're not noticeable around the boat and I'll chuck the rolls up as soon as I get home and have some dice available. Ditto for the B/R to reattach the LMGs (again unless Soloman wants them kept unarmed incase of searches)
Sorry this took so long. I managed to mess myself up this weekend LARPing.
No, no objections to the drones. Infact he likes the idea of arial survaliance once he gets to the pier. But yeah, give me dice for hiding them around the boat.
I wont be posting tommorow, as I get to spend it at the orthopedic spec. and then being drugged to the gills. Wednesday Ill be kicking it into gear.
And HMH, check your PMs.

Drone stealthing
Gunnery B/R to reattach LMGs, I think it's base time 1 hour but will check tonight
[ Spoiler ]

Hmmmm, only rules I can see for mounting guns on drones/vehicles is the Firearms Conversation Kit customization that takes base time 12 hours but that for converting the gun......
Id say base time is 10 min. As long as the bits and peices are on the weapon (aka mounting the conversion kit) it should be pretty easy. So unless you see otherwise, 10 min.
So the Doc says nothing perment, just a little strained. IC kick in the pants to get this back on track tommorow.

Your Bonus
I saw someone do a rather good job with this once, and intend to try it out. Since its to scale (or is on my end a least) I can give good mesurements for you on things.
And now to get that post up.
