Looks like the Trio will be talking to Kyle soon...

pragma & DR

Back to the bike one block away?

To the diner three blocks away?


Let me know where you want to be.

Everyone - the guy meeting you will show up at around 7:10. Naturally you don't know that, but I think by now you are likely to wait anyway.
So please IC to put yourselves wherever you are at that point. Hopefully ASAP, so of the three at the diner, and the two not at the diner, will whoever is online first make an executive decision for your whole group and post to get everyone to your 7:10 position please?
Thanks - trying to get as many people off the bench as possible as quickly as I can.

On it.

I thought the rain had stopped once you guys picked me up...

It's Seattle.. it rains at the drop of a hat.

hah, maybe, I hadn't noticed. Eitehr way, its shitty out. Just might not be wet nd shitty.

I guess...
Also, BlackHat, you sorta blew off Caittie's question, the one you were so anxious to answer.

If Pragma doesn't object, I think SLedge and Fortunato can act as modile reinforcements.

No objections at all to being mobile or reinforcements.

Glad to see things are moving along.

Just an FYI, I'm outta town till Monday night and will have limited access. Will post as soon as I can once home.

Threw up an IC post /w the rain incoming or at least dark clouds.

Seattle weather reports, brought to you by the NWS of UCAS.

Made a weather report page on the wiki for kicks and to keep a record of what the weather was like on what days.

Okay, don't want one of these group indecision/no one wants to rush anyone else things. You guys are free to fill the next 20 minutes any way you like, but if you have something to do then do it and if not, maybe just say so here. You can jump to the meet whenever you're ready.

I can fast-forward whenever, but in an attempt to give the rest fo the team something to do, in the meantime and while I talk to Will and Cerberus, I was thinking they could spend the time looking for a safehouse or something - and maybe going over Rocky and Angel's information. Both tasks we were going to have to tackle after getting the big C on board, so now that we're forced to split up, we should multitask. Also, if Louie's guys DO show up in the next 20 minutes, I'd rather not have Rocky or Angel around - his guys would be coming ready to fight, and that's not a fight we're prepared to win yet.

During Will's entrance or exit, Caittie saves an image of his face onto her commlink.

She then compiles a R4 Data Sprite /w Stealth
Compile + Res = 10 dice
2,4,3,2,3,2,6,2,2,2 - 1 hit

Sprite resist = 4 dice
4,4,6,6 - 2 hits (4s)

Fade Resist = 12 dice
2,4,2,1,6,1,3,3,1,6,2,3 - 2 hits (2stun left)

Ok, I'm going to pass on trying again for now...

Threading test for Scan CF
Software + Res = 10 dice
1,2,5,5,1,5,5,6,4,6 - 6 hits [Limiting hits to 3]
Result - Raised Scan from R1 to R4 (Fading = 3s)

Fade Resist
6,6,2,2,6,4,5,4,3,2,4,3 - 4 hits (Full resist)


Angel's Scan test to find Will's commcode
Scan + Electronic Warfare = 7 dice (3sec per dicepool)
2,2,6,5,5,4,5 - 4 hits
4,4,5,3,6,4,4 - 2 hits (6 total)
4,6,2,5,6,2,5 - 4 hits (10 total)
4,6,4,4,3,6,4 - 2 hits (12 total)
5,4,3,1,2,6,4 - 2 hits (14 total)
5,6,4,6,3,4,2 - 3 hits (17 total)
Drop threading

All Angel needed was a good breakfast to start trying to Hack everything in sight.

Well, I was trying to have a sprite run a facial recognition search through the matrix to see who this guy was, but as you saw, it didnt turn out too well and now she has a headache.
She can at least get his commcode and ask Johnson what he wants her to do.

I've actually played nice by not hacking Fortunato's commlink, and I'm trying not to metagame with Johnson's commlink, but I've already told BlackHat that sooner or later she is going to find a reason to get in there.

Good thing Adam keeps all his pr0n on his "personal" commlink.

Damn... now she's never going to have a reason to get into his active commlink...

Yeah, while it makes total sense for Cattie to wonder if Adam has a thing for jail-bait elf girls... she won't find what she's looking for on his "work" comm. Its probably better to just to straightup ask and get it out in the open. Besides, if you go digging around on just about any college guys computer, you're going to find a bunch of shit you wish you hadn't. Not all of it very insightful into his predilections....

Konsaki

He was in hidden mode, but you succeeded in isolating his commcode/node.

Okay, I am hearing talk about first aid on Rocky, talk about magical healing, talk about hacking things, talk about mobile reserves, talk about finding safehouses. This is the place where these forum games break down, everyone talking and no one declaring.
If I used emoticons you'd all see the smile on my face. Cheering, not scolding.

I assume Smith is walking the three or four blocks to the meet place described.

Where will Angel and Rocky be during that time? How will they go there? What will they be doing?

Will Sledge and Fort join them, or be roving in the bike? If the latter, at what distance from the central axis of the diner?

Do not need specific locations, but relative locations to major points. Sorry we have no map, but there is a north/south freeway. About a kilometer east is the U Stor It, then a few blocks further east and south is the diner (the ONLY place in the area open to walk in customers), then three blocks east (200 m) is the clinic.

Let's get some definite declarations (I only need two - troll/elf and ork/elf) and we will be off to the races.

I'd like to try and lead Rocky to the clinic since they dont know our faces and dont know that we are teamed up with Fortunato and Sledge... I hope. Maybe we can talk our way into getting him some help there.

As stated in IC, I'd like to try to catch Rocky in an out of the way place and, based on my best estimate of my ability to do so, try to heal him.

Deciding if its a good idea to heal him:
Logic (defaulting to biotech for diagnosis) + 2 dice for previous experience using the spell (curt them off if they don't apply): # dice: 4 :: 1 4 4 2 -- 0 successes
-- not that the extra two dice helped

Since its not a glitch I assume that I am unable to gauge the difficulty of the healing spell and I intend to let them know that I can do some good, but I'm not sure how much (feel free to include it in IC, for whoever winds up writing this).

If there is a general concensus for me slinging the spell at that point and no alarm bells are going off--

Force 6 heal spell: # dice: 10 :: 2 1 1 1 6 2 2 3 6 2 -- 2 successes
Drain: # dice: 12 :: 4 2 4 6 1 1 3 4 3 6 3 1 -- 2 successes

If no concensus, I'll let it be.

Regardless, the signature will get wiped and then Sledge and Fotrunato will idle or circle a block or two away from the meet. This is pending DR's approval, but I expect that it will be fine.

I know it's a bit of meta, but I'd rather not have you do that, since my taking him to the clinic would then be moot...

DAMN - literally seconds before I was going to post IC for what happens now that I finally know where everyone is!!!

But I am sincerely glad to hear from anyone with objections to things.

Konsaki - you would rather he A) not meet up with you guys and do a wound assessment or B) not actually cast the heal? And have you got a non-meta reason why Fort would not try to be helpful?

I was grumbling about B, but I have no real non-meta reason for it.
But now, as a player, I know my whole trip to the clinic will be nothing but an exercise of getting a contact, instead of getting Rocky healed since you cant do first aid after magic is cast. Plus, the entire effort of gaining a contact might also be moot if the doc saw there was already some form of healing done to the wound. (so he cant do anything accept bedrest).

I know Caittie doesnt know any of this (0 First Aid and magic knowledge), but I'm pretty sure Fort might know this since he's the one with the magic experience.

Can I ping his commlink for his SIN or personal info, since I have his commcode?

Memory Check to see if Caittie can remember Cerberus' Name from SIN
Log + Wil = 10 dice
6,4,3,3,6,6,2,4,5,6 - 5 hits

Yeah, I guess she does...

Oh you rat bastard.

That's cool though. I think it would only make sense for Adam to wait maybe 5 minutes later than when they agreed upon (so 4 more minutes). At that time, if he hasn't heard from the group, he'll tell them that "Will" stood him up and seem very frustrated.

OOC, I'm hoping I'll get at least a head's up from the team - but who knows. Even if Adam knew what was up, it wouldn't do him any good to go back there and try to do any talking.

Maybe he could back-seat drive via matrix, but someone might even see through that. I'm sure Rocky and Angel know all the right things to say, anyways.

I'm not sure they've chosen the right people to talk to...

Well, he was right, you guys definatly arn't silver-tongued... you just might take his eye... but definatly not going to fast-talk him.

Looking at the wiki, Fortunato is the best person to be talking for negotiations or something like that, based off his dicepool.
Rocky and Angel are the best people for information on Cerberus right now, since Rocky worked with him for a while and Angel hacked his comm when she got attacked by him. Rocky would probably have more information overall on him though.

We so need to do some "shopping" for gear.

@BlackHat
I need some clarification from Adamu, but I think I can send you live feed from Caittie's eyes and ears like cyberware. So you would hear and see from my POV.
If so, I send a single data line just to you that opens in an AR window.

Quoting Adamu from the 'Hitting Bottom' OCC Thread, pg 6 (50posts per page)

@Konsaki/JDragon

I did mention in my post that he plans to make it very clear that he doesn't know how much good he can do. I'd argue that such a statement is fine IC grounds for not having him sling the spell.

@Blackhat

Fortunato wouldn't tear out his eye, its not original anymore. He'd have to come up with something else like cutting off his hands then asking him to play piano then giving him electroshock any time a note went wrong ... or something like that.

In slighltly more seriousness, Fortunato doesn't have any reason to start removing parts of this man's anatomy, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Ok, back in town.

Been trying to catch up and make sure I'm good. So let me make sure I've caught everything.... From Rocky's perspective

Johnson is at the meet Stood up and alone)

Cattie & I were heading for the clinic

Sledge and Fort caught up with us

Fort is offering to do a spell, as we move to get out of sight, we are greeted from roof top by the guy from the dinner.

Fort is doing the talking, and we have code words to listen for as signals

* * * * *
Rules stuff

If I go to the doc, just asking him to not use pain killers will be an addiction test in addition to my normal one.


EDIT - Also I have Quick Healer, which will be 2 extra dice on the healing test.


Let me know if I missed or got anything wrong

THanks

JDragon

Welcome back. Yeah, everything you say there looks good.

Lot of fun chatter whilst I slept. LOOKS like you all answered all your own questions (definitely gotta love players that save the GM needless trouble by looking up old rulings!).
If I missed any queries, let me know.
