It's decently high...due to past incidents including terrorist actions by Humanis, Alamos 2000 and some magical mayhem caused by some cultists.

So okay people - and especially SK - don't know how fast you guys want to run this. Some games creep along tiny action by single line of dialogue. And if that's the level of detail and RP we want - sweet. Other games sort of move from key scene to key scene in rapid strokes. I can see us each posting what we do for the ride down (like Redjack did), and then BOOM, we're at the airport.

Naturally our pace depends on what all us players want ---- and of course it absolutely depends on what SK has in mind.

I 'd prefer a good pace but, not at the expense of good roleplay. I have left my posts short (so far) so as not to stifle you guys. I will have big posts inwhich you guys are just stuck for a period of time (hate that but, to hard to do interrupts in this kind of game...why i havent done really big ones). And Hey, this you alls story.

Thanks for the quick response, SK. So, like, once all us'n players have done all we want to do, are we good to post to the airport? Or do you want us to wait for you on something?

I'm obviously all for everyone catching up with me as I had to go dedicated in VR to prepare, but I'm good either way.... or a little mix of both.

From what I've read you all seem to be spreading out a bit (with a few congregated so the VIP will find you)...if that is so then go ahead and post your arrival and what you're doing as you wait. Also post in the times leading up to that if you wish. This campaign is more to me than just combat skills or running gun battles (not saying there wont be any lol) but, I chose you guys from your base concepts and background stories for a serious rp game....and I've (mostly) chosen well. I am highly impressed with how emerced you all have gotten into a culture that is (mostly) alien to Western ways.

Oh and you all are on your way to earning a tattoo [Insert Maniacal Laughter]

Alright, my post will be sufficient for my character up until the point where we're close to the airport, I think. Adamu, I know you had said that my character would be riding with Musouka, but he seemed a bit busy, so my character went off on his own.

Yukika will attempt to summon a force 3 spirit of man, with the optional power Movement. This will be in the limo. She will attempt this discretely.

Magic 3 + Conjuring (Spirit of Man) 5 = 8
2 hits 4 6 5 1 4 4 2 1

Drain Wil 3 + Cha 5 = 8
4 hits 3 6 2 5 1 6 3 6

Yeah, anyway, the ride down is no big deal. I just hope Musouka can ride with Tsuneoka on the way back - hacker/TMs most effective away from the center of the physical action.

By the way, Redjack, can you see whether the limo is set up for remote operation? That way you could step in if our driver gets cacked or whatever.

It's not set up for remote

Okay, then - I personally am good to go for arrival at the airport. I suggest that if anyone else has anything they want to do before we arrive, they post soon. Otherwise, I guess maybe we're set for the next scene???

In terms of OOC planning - Thought Tsuneoka and I would park as close as possible, but that our driver would just keep circling through the loading/unloading lanes right outside the terminal doors, only stopping for the allowed 30 seconds at a time, then just circling back - that way he's always close by for the pick up, and when we get in he could ferry us back to the other vehicles.

Also - are we taking guns, etc into the airport? I am thinking bad idea, and was going to leave my Predator in the limo - any thoughts?

I am not actually going into the airport proper as I wouldn't make it through security anyways with the razors in my hands. I would also ask the driver to drop me off at the very beginning of the airport area, so the earlier we arrive the better for myself. I do not want to leave the limo when you guys do, but I will keep in contact with you via comms and subvocal.

Guys, I just studied for and took an essay exam in comparative religions and my mind is mush...I'll post things tommorrow. Sorry for the wait.

@Syndicate_killer
No problem. RL has to take priority.

When you get back, I need an (1) update on the arrival status of the flight. I also want to (2) insure that the limo is in fact rigged so that I can remote control it if required and that I was able to successfully (3) download the limo's admin codes from the clan's mainframe or databases (where ever such data is stored). Finally, (4) what are the PAN and SIN broadcast requirements at SeaTac?

Sk I need to know if Yukika starts bleeding out her ears from her conjuring. It'll mess up her kimono if she does.

Drain is good imho. Sorry about being a ghost but, I got sick as a dog (needed to be seen at emergency room and had 2 bags of IV as I was so dehydrated...glad i have a roommate now)


Game on now though

I am going to be off and on for awhile (due to technical difficulties with my computer) and I will not be able to post very frequently. I am sorry for the trouble and I hope to return again as soon as possible.

This game just got pwned by RL... Heh.

I think its time to upgrade the firewall, hack out the root kit and get this game un-0wn3d!

Heh, I'm still around, I was just waiting for other stuff to happen. Actually, I didn't have internet all weekend but it seems like nothing really happened so I don't feel too bad about it.

PAN is to hard to control in this area...arrivals,departures and the avionics so it's too much of a mess to actual try to control (thats in the general areas, the terminal gates however are hard to get too hidden)

SINs are the same as above.

No delays in arrival.

Can we proceed to the pow-wow?

Pow-Wow time...enjoy.

Cross-posted over you there, Redjack, but now I just edited it to make it jive with your post.

Cool. Since we are advancing to the gate, I will post again after lunch with my movements and actions to bring me into the gate area.

Sweet posts everyone...sweet!!

Is Yukika constantly monitoring the astral (or assessing)?

SK - when our guessed spoke, did he use English or Japanese? (I guess it is safe to assume that Yukika answered in kind.)

He spoke English although heavily accented.

Wow - I spelled guest GUESSED! Maybe I don't speak English!

@Syndicate_killer
Two quick questions: Did the caller ID show "Match" for Aniki and did Yamada pull the Limo around to pick us up?
Thanks!

Depends on if that is how the comm call was done...Hacker has the say on that.
Yes Yama did pull the limo up....rushes out to open the door also (was going to wait to put that in but...no plan survives first contact lol)

hehehe as the hacker, I had noted a subtle title to each call in my post. I made an assumption that even Aniki's old flip style phone would have a display on the face like most of the new models even back in '07 had.

(Yes, I know the definition of assume but hey, I'm trying)

As to Yama, just wanting to be clear as you had mentioned the Mr Sharkskin suit headed for the parking garage.
Thanks!

My mistake...the exit would have been the first thing he was heading for.

Hmm.. I think we're waiting for the next GM update.. right?

You want me to make a "First Impressions" roll Syndicate? To make sure he doesn't comment on how it may not be customary to ask his name, or if he gets irritated or lets the introduction slide?

Are you trying to find out if its ok to ask him his name?

Syndicate Killer -
Where are the Shi'sai Gardens? Do we know anything about them?

With Yamada, I want to work out a route that involves all of the following -

1) passes through a heavily secured downtown-type zone

2) gets off the free way and twiddles around in some suburbs, where we can easily spot tails

3) goes through some tunnels, where we can more easily spot drones (in RL there are some downtown, also some crossing Council Island).

4) if possible, pass through a park with lots of trees overhanging the road - sort of a vegatation tunnel, to make it easier to spot astral tails.

Once we have a route, will instruct Yamada to also work up some alternate routes in case of emergency, and to send all the routing info to me and Tsuneoka.

Yes, you know of the gardens it used to be the site of the Occidental Mueseum of art but was later renovated by several JapanaCorps, Asian Committees (and the Yakuza...silent partners) to include a replica Fuedal castle (Japanese)..it's still a cultural center that has Noh and Kabuki theatre, Iajitsu and kenjitsu (Kendo) bouts and training as well as the garden area which has a tea house.


The gardens drive will be the Enviromental tunnel and since you are heading into Seattle proper all the other things are easy to accomidate also.

SK - assuming Hyou` got in the limo with everyone else - went on ahead since Trigger mentioned being off and on with Internet access for awhile-
Anyway, assuming that, I don't have anything further - we just follow the route, look for tails, and hopefully arrive safely.

Naturally I am speaking only for myself - not trying to discourage further posts by anyone else.

Summoning 3 watchers, 2 hour lifetime each max, have them do astral watch and report to her. They are actually on par with Yukika in terms of assensing (Yukika's assensing is pathetic), but more eyes are better for spotting things.

Magic 6 + Summoning 3
2 hits 2 5 3 2 2 2 4 6 2
3 hits 3 5 5 1 3 1 5 1 3
3 hits 1 1 6 5 4 4 5 2 3

Wil 3 + Cha 5
1 hits 2 3 2 2 2 2 5 3
2 hits 1 4 1 1 6 2 6 3
2 hits 4 3 4 3 3 4 5 6

Bah, 1 DV stun, the variabilty in the dice results!

Though a minor summoning, people may start noticing she's doing something during odd moments in the start of the drive., and that one DV stun...

Barring momentary bouts of paranoia you will arrive at your destination without any tails.If you wish to RP those moments I'll give you the time before I post your arrival.

Very good team of RP'ers here.
