By the way, the wiki is working fine for me again

MK Ultra

The room has whatever day-to-day tech middle-class studies have, but nothing interesting or apparently dangerous.

Silver has a R3 commlink somewhere you can't see, and one of her earrings works as an earbud. You might have seen a voice pick-up on one of her back teeth, a common place for one.

This is Frosty.


Frosty

BlueRondo

Your commcall goes through, but your commlink lets you know the signal is sketchy - you are out of direct signal range of them now. Normally in Seattle that doesn't matter cuz the signal bounces through other wifi devices in the network, but that is hit or miss in Redmond outside of Touristville.

Future comm calls may or may not go through.

Rolls following...

EDIT:
Perception to check Frosty for weapons and ware 9 hits and Judge Intentions 4 hits - so fare they seem quiet clear, but in case it becomes handy in a post or two.

Etiquette to make a good impression 3 hits (crap), of course this roll would get a fat penalty for her sexism, so drom the last X dice´ results (though it won´t have an effect, unless it´s more then 5 dice).

5 hits to resist intimidation, in case she trys something funny.

Buying 3 hits to analyze her com as well, of course (Sys/FW/Databomb).



I´ll also modify my coms signal range up to make sure I get through to the next relay point in Touristville, for sending another message to Carla, even though the relay point might be out of reach to send a confirmation back to me, I guess this has to work somehow.

Will post a negotiation roll, once we start negotiating.

BTW - just in case you want Conall to tick out as Frosty is insulting us, don´t feel restraint by me.
Just have him explode with a little delay (after John has spoken) or else, I can allways edit!

So much for a peaceful meeting...

@adamu
Why do I feel like you already knew how Conall was going to react to Frosty?

Let the fireworks begin!

Y'know MJ, we might have to start posting Irish to English translations along the way when they get right distorted

What? You don't like my phonetically written irish accent?!
Read it fast and outloud.... it actually sounds pretty damn good

But honestly, if someone doesn't quite get everything Conall says, that would be normal: he does have a pretty strong accent after all.

The fun never ends

Here is another perception roll 5 hits.
Now the Judge Intentions roll I did above (4 hits) should tell me, wether she´s going to escalize or deescalize, maybe before the papperpunch starts flying

I also did an Intimidation Roll, because I figured Conall probably just intimidated her in game terms. Got 7 hits (or 7 extra dice for Mister Juan if we´re doing an assisted roll).



EDIT: Oh, Adamu, just be be clear, I´m not trying to coerce Frosty into giving us the paydata for free, just to make her treat us politely and stop that mach-shit.

Added my take on Etain to the wiki, though it is not as compleat as those about Carla & Conall, yet.

Eager to see what happens next in the dimly lit study

Okay, after Krait takes an action to adjust his signal to reach the more reliable repeaters in Touristville, the Carla-Krait comms are having no problem.

MK - the cybereyes are very high grade and designed to look natural, but you spot them. Furthermore, the way they move (the really good ones mimic natural autonomic responses) you are pretty sure she has a headware comm (system 5, firewall 6, no data bomb you can detect).

And your time among the corp elites makes you know Tailored Pheremones when you are around them - again, good quality.

You spot what is probably a knife in a hidden arm slide up her right sleeve. And when she went around the desk you saw a pepper spray cannister in the back pocket of her jeans.

Underneath her spiteful sneer, her face is a total blank - you have no idea what she is thinking.

Mister Juan - need an Intimidation test from you. You can use your Specialization. Including Krait's assistance, your total modifier is -4 dice.

@adamu
They way I see it, Conall has had a VERY bad night:
-His sister is hurt (which he sees as his own fault)
-he's had to go into the worst S&M club,
-he's had to share close quarter with a lot of what he considers like filth (trolls, orks, dwarves... and let's face it, everyone but pure blood elves),
-he's down in the gutter with the low lives/criminals,
-he's in a whore den, he's had to fight for his life,
-he dirtied himself with blood, gore and probably rather unclean water,
-he's had to ride his bike with Krait,
-he's been insulted by a human whore,
-and he feels like his time is being wasted.

All in all, I thought it was pretty in character to have him throw a hissy fit
SO, I wasn't actually seeing this as him trying to intimidate Frosty, since he was pretty much just being very damn honest about his feelings... but looking at it from an outside view, what he is doing (even if it isn't willingly) is definitly intimidation.

Now, let no one hold their breaths, cause thats a pretty hefty dicepool penalty.
Almost rolled Edge on this one, but if things go bad, I have a feeling Conall might need to use it on other things

Intimidation: 5 dices
Rolls:4,5,3,6,3 = 2 hits

Why am I hoping that Frosty has REALLY low willpower?

I guess Signal 4 is enough to connect to TouristVille, since it was back at GZ - just so I can keep track of it.

So here are two social rolls and Initiative in Case it becomes necessary.

Etiquette to smoothe over the whole insult/intimidation scene and get back to business - no matter who won the intimidation.

If violence is about to break out I guess I´ll need Ini and a Leadership roll (just shouting 'stop') to get the others listening to me, first, before I can make my Etiquette roll.

Etiquette got 7 hits, not accounting for any modifires.

Ini 6, taking combat paralysis into account.

Leadership only 4 hits prior to any mods.

This is going to be so much fun!
