Actally, the corebook says there are RFID-Nanites in color spray-cans. The form of RFID Tags is not specified. Theoretically, you could have them injected into a person as a swarm of nanites or be adhesive powder.

OMGsweet. Sledge, add that to our shopping list.

Sixes do keep on exploding - you got a total of 8 successes - especially overwhelming since she is not at all opposing your test.

From her manner, actions, words, and the context of the situation, you believe that

She genuinely hoped to help you, and even feels some sympathy/amicability towards you.
She is genuinely disappointed (for herself? for you? probably both), as she now feels there is nothing she can do.

Oh, the one thing she did try (and fail against eight successes) to hide was that, for whatever reason, she was quite surprised at the person that ended up making contact with her.

Have no idea what you will IC next, but if it involves further communication with her, the window is already on its way up....
BlackHat
On one hand, this conversation could have gone a little better. smile.gif On the other, none of us know what transpired. Johnson is just impressed you havn't been killed yet.
DireRadiant
IC post sometime in the next few hours.

Unfortunately I can't work around IC that Sledge does not know enough about the situation to make an IC decision to fit my OOC metagaiming desires. Tricky.

BlackHat
Hmm, not sure if Ms. DelGato's offer is still on the table or not, but I suppose Adam wouldn't be sure either. I'll post his intentions, in any case, but if the limo 180's and takes off, consider the negotiations over, and I can edit the post to cut off my backing up. biggrin.gif

Otherwise, I'm interested to talking, and assuming her window comes back down, I can post something about what I do next (removing trodes, for one, that would look silly) and maybe get the first word in. I'll wait for a queue from Adamu that its an option though.
DireRadiant
SLedge won't be making any sudden moves though....
DireRadiant
Sledge is all about helping Adam meet the ladies. The van wasn't named the Love Machine for nothing...
MK Ultra
Hey, I really got to catch up on your IC thread again biggrin.gif
adamu
Okay, Smith has primary control of the vehicle. Assuming he does not oppose what Sledge's icon does, stalling the van out should be no problem for Sledge...
DireRadiant
I don't remember what control, if any, we have gotten for the drone, other then the visual feed, from Caittie.
DireRadiant
Sledge - Hammering away
Adam - Time to Face up to his job
Angel - head in the clouds
Cerberus - See Cerberus Run
Rocky - Time for yet another comeback
Conall - Gruff Knight in Seattle
Etain - Time to join the party!
Carla - Working on her J
Krait - From Macro to Micro economics
Konsaki
I'm a little drugged up right now, but IIRC I didnt give anyone access to the drone. You are all just getting a feed from the drone through my commlink.

Adamu used GM power to have Angel give Johnson user rights for the van. I think I only gave rights to Sledge.
adamu
Timely entrance, Konsaki - I was just about to ask you to chime in on this issue. Sorry about the van - thought you'd opened that up to everyone - but Sledge could have transferred her access to Smith.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification on the drone - looks like Angel is the only one that currently has command access.

About what I thought. Thanks!

I'm wondering how long we can go before Adam's delusion of control get shattered.
Konsaki
Just to clarify even farther, Caittie is the only one with 'Admin' rights to the van and drone.

Johnson and Sledge have 'Standard User' rights.
DireRadiant
The Drone had Firewall 5? Sledge can probably hack it, but would set off all the alerts while doing so.
DireRadiant
Is anyone else actually conscious in the van?
Konsaki
Fort, Rocky, Cerberus and Kyle as far as I know.
BlackHat
Also, Rosso (the hostage/informant) will be conscous for the next half-hour or so, and is probably currently calling his wife (at Fort's discression) to say goodbye in case we all die.

Let's just hope he doesn't have admin rights on the drone and exploits it to kill us all while Caittie naps on the job.
Konsaki
We took away his commlink.

well, I know that, but Sledge doesn't. smile.gif

QUOTE (Konsaki)

Well, to be complete, Cerb took it, then gave it to Fortunato, then on the way out, I okayed Fortunato to give it back, or speak through it on behalf of Rosso, or whatever... so its really Fort's call as to whether or not we were nice and gave it back to him (DANGER RED LIGHT DANGER) or if he's just talking into the microphone or something.
pragma
I was planning on dialing for him and having him talk into the mic. Can IC that if appropriate.
BlackHat
Sounds like we might have some time to do that... and, well, I'll feel really really bad if he accidentally dies before getting his call.
adamu
pragma

Rosso is very very out of it right now, and now that he is in the van, your mind probe is telling you that he really is convinced you are going to let him live, so he is no longer urgently interested in calling his wife right away.
That said, if you do make an offer, or interact with him in any other significant way, let's IC it.

Trolls

This seems (for the moment) the time for some of the non-combat types to do their thing. Spotlight comes around and goes around. But if you have RP you want to do back there (or think of something constructive to do), don't hesitate - it won't stop other people from posting.
BlackHat
More than willing to toss around any dice that need to be chucked - just let me know what you need. I think my overall intentions were made pretty clear in the post.

As I understand it, it isn't completely out of the question that Angelo would be allowed to call some shots and maybe kill a guy or four in a Bigio neighborhood - but that the FInnigans would, like, owe a favor, or need to have something to offer in return... the fact that they used Shadowrunners says "plausable deniability" to me (that's the reason Franco uses them)... so I'm gonna go with that as though it is fact. That being the case, I'm assuming their faces are a little bit red, and that Angelo was negotiating, and maybe getting a scolding in that limo earlier. Then again, they could have been sharing a drink, and toasting to our deaths, for all we know. biggrin.gif

I figure that there is also the chance that she knows what Angelo is after, and supports his right to have it, but for some reason doesn't think I have anything to do with it - and that's why she's willing to dismiss us... but that seems unlikely. Then again, she might just be as happy letting Angelo's men handle us while she makes sure the Bigio's investments are all okay. *shrugs* We'll find out soon enough, I suppose.
DireRadiant
Troll on a bike?
BlackHat
Erp! Ork! My bad, will edit.
DireRadiant
I've heard of mixing metaphors, mixing metahumans is new.
BlackHat
Y'all look alike to me!
(*ducks randomly thrown object*)
JDragon
Ok, back from the Con.

Still trying to catch up on stuff but should be good to go.

Rocky is just waiting to see what happens.

JD

@adamu

In retrospect, Fortunato doesn't like Rosso enough to give him the call without direct orders. Not going to make the offer.
Konsaki
@Pragma

You need to edit the end of your last IC post. I was just having Caittie sleep until someone or something happened to do something to try and wake her up.

I'll write up an IC post about you shaking her into an awakened state, but Fort basicly sees her slowly open her eyes and try to focus on him while letting out a slight groan of annoyance/tiredness.
adamu
I think everyone is posting very nicely.

Sometimes I like this thread so much I just have to gush a little (no, I REALLY am a guy).

Reckon in a forum setting like this, it's pretty hard to simultaneously be interactive, keep our creative juices flowing, and keep the game moving forward at a reasonable pace if we have to constantly be pussyfooting around each other over relatively minor distinctions.

So I appreciate the very conscientious way everyone has been handling their PVP interactions and their references to one another in the IC posts.
adamu
Oh, pragma -
dude, you continue to be at, like, hyper-speed on your time-date stamps - jumped us forward another ten minutes there...
Sorry to be so anal on the headers...
pragma
Sorry, bad habit. I have a time stamp saved and forget to change it before posting. Fixing now.
Konsaki
I'm back in IC, though I wont be able to post again for around 12 hours.
BlackHat
Adam doesn't, by chance, happen to have Francesca's number already? Seeing as she isn't a contact, and he never had to call her on the job before, I'll assume he doesn't, but if he does, that'd be sweet. biggrin.gif

Otherwise, if he makes it home, he'll have to do a little more dirt-digging.... you know, after class.
DireRadiant

Delusions...
DireRadiant
For those interested, Sledge's grid map route runs directly over Angelo's SUV.
BlackHat
I thought we didn't catch which SUV he got back into? But, if we can, that's awesome. biggrin.gif
DireRadiant
Well, we do know which "chokepoint" he was at. so we just go there.
DireRadiant
I am surprised Adam didn't invite Francesca to dinner at Rudolphos.. you know, when it's under new management.
BlackHat
Oh slam!
I hadn't thought of that, but that would have been hilarious. A bit more information about my plan than I wanted her to have right now - but, hey, if we pull this shit off, it might not be a bad place to meet. Sort of like a "Look what I(we) did! Now, what I(we) can do for you?"
pragma
Going to be out of town until Sunday night -- computer access will be limited. Fort plans to maintain spell deffense, keep an eye on Caittie and use the air elemental to get the team out of the car chase (movement, concealment and accident combined should help out a lot).
BlackHat
Sorry to push things along, but we might as well get to the chase. wink.gif If it takes Fort and Angel more than a few seconds to vomit, make nice, and climb back in, Smith will lay on the horn. biggrin.gif

I'll look up the vehicle acceleration rules when I get home and post some rolls, but it might be nice to know what our ETA is on collision. Meanwhile, it seems like a perfect time for the Shadowrunners to discuss plans and tactics and whatnot.
