Thanee: Dawna stabilizes, but she still looks really bad. She will be fine for now, but she needs lots of rest still and probably some sort of more professional attention so that she doesn't lose any physical capabilities due to it.

Redjack: Dawna drove the car started the car with keys, they are most likely still in one of her pockets.
Thanee
Now we only need MrMiracle to come back (or one of the others, so that their characters can miraculously sneak away from the mess). wink.gif

Thanee
Trigger
Also, we can bring in other players on your way from Fargo to Seattle as well.
Thanee
I'm a bit reluctant to use the Heal spell yet, because of the high Drain in her state... will do so later, when we are a bit safer. wink.gif

Bye

@Amra28: You're driving Dawna's car then?
amra28
Yes Halfpast will drive dawna's car.
Trigger
How do you guys feel about me opening up a spot or two for new players to join in on the game and me working them into the campaign as you all continue and start to leave Fargo?
Redjack
My only request is that we set a tone up front for minimum post rate.
Trigger
Will do. I am sorry about the rate on my own end, but I am working on that front.
SoyKaf Adict
Hey, heard you guys are going to have spots open soon for recruitment, a mutated were-birdie told me smile.gif

I'd like to put my name in the queue if that all right.
Trigger
Sounds good, I will put you on the list. I also have a friend who is going to be joining DS soon who I may have join the game as well. She is pretty good and she will be another person to help keep me in line and posting more often.
Redjack
Soykaf and I were trying to keep Project Infinity afloat, but our GM got ate by RL...
Trigger
So what is the plan? You guys are all at Halfpast's place and I have been waiting for someone to make some sort of move before I do anything GM wise.....
Redjack
Given Bump's loyalty to all the team, I could not see him abandoning Dawna despite her player having done so.. wink.gif
I'm all for scouting the area, avoiding contacts, getting Halfpast's gear and driving west.

Did you say you wanted this campaign to end up in Seattle?
amra28
I figured we should wait for Kerrigan to scout it out astrally or send a spirit to do it or do both. Since we had company at Kerrigan's I figure we will have company here. The trick is to either avoid the company or eliminate the company.
Trigger
I would like for it to end up Seattle, but actually wherever you guys want to take it is fine, I am felxible with my surroundings and my google search-fu is very good for areas.
Redjack
Thanee had said she was pretty strapped down at work... Guess we're just waiting for her to get some free cycles...
Thanee
Sorry, if I'm holding things up... be with you within the next couple days again. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Thanne - Will Kerrigan be astrally projecting for recon then?
Thanee
Didn't I post that much already? Hmm... I thought I did. embarrassed.gif Fixed that now! smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Guess we're needing Trigger now then. wink.gif
Redjack
Hm.... I wonder is something happened to Trigger's access again..?
Trigger
Kind of, I have just been having a lot of overtime going on at work.....I will get this going later today if I get a chance.
Thanee
Overtime at work? Now that's something totally unheard of... rotfl.gif

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
Sorry about the delays, I am trying to get things back on track now.

2 Karma to you all for your patience.
Thanee
Hey, that's cool. Glad to see things are still going onwards, even slowly. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Ditto. Glad to still be in the shadows!! wink.gif
Trigger
I reopened the recruitment thread for this (a good bit of thread necromancy on my part) and hopefully we can get a couple more players in on this thing.
amra28
I will be on vacation and away from a computer from July 27th through July 31st. NPC Halfpast as needed.
Redjack
Ok, what can we do to get this team across the border.
@Trigger - You want us to work out the border crossing in OOC or IC?
Trigger
OOC is fine. I will post up more later tonight or tomorrow, as I am only on to check updates at the moment.
SoyKaf Adict
My "My Controls" is screwed up, it doesn't load the page, but I'm still interested in playing. It's just going to be a little bit of an inconvenience for me.... shwat ev. Both of the games died that I was taking part in, so just gimme a holler, I'm more than eager to join up.
Redjack
My Controls is not currently working for anyone, nor is sending a person a PM by clicking their name. You can still access PMs from the "0 new messages" (or whatever count) in the upper right corner.
Redjack
I'm a lot leary of crossing the bulk of the Sioux Nation. Looking at the map, I think a better choice might be to get ourselves to Denver. If we decide to continue to Seattle, we can cross the PCC.

Drop down the western UCAS to I-70 in Kansas and them sneak across and get to Denver.
Trigger
However you guys want to do it. I am just fine running the actual driving and such here in OOC until you reach the next town or border crossing or such.
Redjack
I say we make our way to Colby or Goodland Kansas (Not for sure exactly where the Sioux border is). We want to be on the UCAS side and try to locate a local who can get us across the border.

Of course I am grasping here. We have no contacts and this is the best plan I can think of. Ideas?
A new team member who is skilled as a Sioux based coyote would be great right about now.. [hint, hint] wink.gif
Thanee

Getting to the border for now, sounds like a good idea. Not sure how friendly the Sioux are to foreigners in their lands, but then again, we will probably have to avoid patrols anyways, regardless of where we are.

Thanee
Redjack
Unless amra28 objects, we'll make for Colby, Kansas and see about doing the legwork to get across to Denver.
Thanee
Didn't we want to go to Seattle originally?

Though Denver is a lot closer. wink.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
The problem with Seattle by land is the number of miles of the NAN we need to cross. Denver is a number of hours from Colby, Kansas. Thinking about the perspective of a crew not familiar with life in the NAN and the potential issues for these fish outa water, I was thinking Denver.

That said, is you two (or the GM) prefer Seattle then I'm game to try anything.. wink.gif
Thanee
Yep, makes sense... was just asking. smile.gif

And from Denver we can make a nice hiking trip into the Rockies... that is, if my geography doesn't fail me completely at this point. grinbig.gif

Bye
Thanee
amra28
Ok by me.
Trigger
Alright, Denver it is then *scratches out half the crazy GM plots that were written down on the Deluxe GM Plot Device Sheet*

Well, as there are no border crossings and mainly just a whole hell of a lot of plains inbetween Fargo and Colby, nothing significant has happened on the way there. I will get up an IC post for your arrival at some point today.


BTW, I can't remember, but is the unconscious teammate with you still (as I cannot seem to remember her name at the moment either.)?
fistandantilus4.0
When where to Galedeep and myself (and the other nob to you crew) come in sir?
Trigger
It depends on what the team does while they are in Colby and, after that, Denver. I have some plans, but depending on the situation, they can change a bit.
Thanee

Take a look at my first post in this thread. smile.gif

And... yeah, I suppose so. We wouldn't just leave her behind. I guess we will go seperate ways soon, though, like when we are in Colby. Maybe she thinks that she is better off on her own or somesuch.

@Trigger: Data Search(1) + Browse(4)
1,1,3,6,4 = 1 hit: Locate Local Data Haven
6,2,6,2,6 = 3 hits: Get information about travel between Colby and Denver, UCAS
2,5,1,4,5 = 2 hits: Research local laws (curfew, weapons, quirky stuff, etc)

I can roll these as extended tests if you like. Of course, on an extended test I will eventually rack up enough successes so given the fact that we are not under time duress we can just assume that I search until either I am satisfied with the information or confident there is nothing (or nothing else) to find. - Please advise.
Galedeep
I'll just keep my eye on this thread, so whenever it's up for an introduction, just lemme know. If you could, shooting me a PM might be good too; if it's going to be a while, that'll make it easier to hop in quickly.

Trigger
@Redjack:

Local Data Haven: The Colby Connection

Travel Information: There are a number of Coyotes and smugglers in the area that accept tag-alongs on their runs, especially those that can fend for themselves. With a couple of more indepth searches, you acquire the contact info for two of them, a Coyote named Nine and a smuggler by the handle of West Coast Sonja. Also, there is travel legally from Colby to the UCAS sector of Denver via a military maintained road for those who have UCAS SINs. The toll on the road is minimal, but security along it is fairly tight.

Local Laws: The primary law system in Colby is the standard UCAS penal code, although a number of lesser local laws are in place as well. No public use of magic of any sort is allowed, as well as restrictive curfew against metas (primarily trolls and orks as part of anti-gang legislation) as well as some rumors along a couple of boards that driving while meta is a quick way to get noticed. While legal firearms are permitted to be carried, it is again said that the locals are less lenient with metas carrying than vanilla humans.
