I stopped cuz I figured I'd give them their two hours worth before posting my arrival at Holden's place, or at the meet via Comm. But if they're gonna sit and watch the 3D Boob Tube I imagine I'll send my post in soon if I don't see any activity.
Redjack
I went ahead and posted up to the start. Nothing else I need to do. I'm good with more character interaction or I'm also good fast forwarding to the start of the run.
gobogen
Again, I don't have anything against interactions, but no interactions are happening it seems. Maybe I just expect too high of a post rate, but I don't want you guys to lose interest because there isn't much going on.
Syndicate_killer
Pardon my absence, I had connection problems...cost me 50 bucks for Embarq to check it out too
Redjack
Looks like we can fast forward to time to leave for the meet.
Trigger
Yeah, I can't see us doing too much at my place besides a little ligt partying and watching of naughty trid channels...
Syndicate_killer
Forget watching naughty trids...someone brought a Hooker!!!! lol
Cthulhu449
Haha, nice one. I'm all for fast forwarding to the meet.
gobogen
Sounds good.

It will probably have to wait until Friday (or Sat at the latest) for the story post. You guys might as well post how you get there and what you're carrying.

Bring on the Johnsons!! biggrin.gif
SoyKaf Adict
I agree lets, do it!
gobogen
Hey guys, I'm sorry I'm running like crazy these days. Will get something in at some point.
gobogen
Sorry it took so long. I should be freed up now.
Syndicate_killer
At the meet Amok will hand over an insanely huge revolver compared to his scrawny frame. It's only got a 4 inche barrel but the bulk of the weapon seems out of place with the scruffy, scrawny kid.
Redjack
Did we loose a few PCs?
gobogen
I'm wondering the same thing :/

I know I wasn't quick to post, but I'd hope it would catch up now.
Cthulhu449
I think your in character observation about a lack of face was pretty spot on is the main problem. If no one says anything I'll jump in here in a bit. Who was our leader again though? I forget now.
gobogen
Yeah there are definitely no faces in the team. Still, it shouldn't stop you from discussing whatever is on your characters' minds. Asking questions about the job is also fine.. and at some point soon you'll have to decide whether you want the job or not.

I mean, this is the PC's first meet so it's ok if it is a bit awkward I guess.

In terms of game rules, there is strong interference that blocks electronic exchanges in the room. Probably only Amok has a chance of signaling things through his link, and it would require a test.
Redjack
We're shadowrunners. We improvise. We adapt. We survive to collect the big payday and do it all over again tomorrow!!
Redjack
Hmmm... Guess my motivational speech did little to rally the troops...
gobogen
Yeah nice try. I can't believe this might end without getting even started.
Redjack
Everyone is in other games on the board, but hey! I'm all for making the rich kid turned runner the face for the team.. BUUUHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!

Edit: And as an after thought... Time to negotiate for a successful run party with the final payment!!
SoyKaf Adict
I'm sooo sorry, I haven't had time to get on the web in forever been too busy working and then sleep... I'm trying to get caught up.
Syndicate_killer
Sorry about my absense, I got really sick but, I've caught up and again I apologize for holding this up.
gobogen
I got the cue, no worries Redjack. No time to do a long post at the current time, but give me at most 24 hours and it will be done.
Redjack
hehehehe... Didn't know if you were waiting for more in character dialog so I thought I'd prod it a bit.. <G>
gobogen
Actually make it more than 24h. I feel bad to hold a game off because the GM is unavailable. But at least rest asure I'm still around. Just ridiculously busy. I couldn't see it coming but I'm still sorry.
gobogen
I just realised that Trigger has announced somewhere else that he has computer or connectivity problems, so he won't be posting for a while. Assume that Holden follows the group around for now. Since he was the leader, anyone should feel free to post up actions the team is taking so that things keep moving forward.
Redjack
Looks like we are the Party Team after all!!
Redjack
What kinda of car does McKinney have?
BTW: After the run I'll introduce him to the engulf power of a water elemental... My little way of dealing with prejudice.. simply eliminate it. cool.gif
Cthulhu449
I'm missing something. What prejudice is going on? I am imperceptive I guess.
SoyKaf Adict
McKinney's little error in conversation "the E- Simon." He drives a Honda Spirit like Holden, except it's black... I think. I'll have you know, McKinney needs a shower anyway ^^
gobogen
I've been going through Holden's sheet right now, and it might be good for the team to know that Holden has 2 drones, a Fly Spy and a crawler with camera and microphone. I dunno if he'd be using them right away, but you should consider those as assets of the team. He obviously can't rig to them, but he's got a slightly improved link and he can command them decently well. Signal 3 on the link though.

Disclaimer: The GM cannot be held accountable for damage incurred to the drones rotate.gif

You know if I can convince him to take a shower we may end up best friends.
Cthulhu449
Hey my post said I'm going in the car, but if that isn't right and Holden isn't the one with the car then I will edit my post to just drive on my bike to the site.
gobogen
Yeah it's fine, Holden has a car, he drove it to the meet if I remember correctly. I'll post IC tomorrow for Holden and with what you see when you get there.
gobogen
You can post with what you'd like to observe more and you can ask questions about what you can see.

Keep in mind that Holden has these glasses with him, which Esteban can use:
Glasses
-Vision Enhacement 3
-Vision Magnification
-Low-Light Vision
-Image Link
-Flare Compensation

Also, at this point someone probably looked at the chip. I'll post something about that if anybody actually checks out the chip in IC nyahnyah.gif

Queue up Amok the hacker!!

Syndicate_killer
Um a chip is chip right? unless you want (the team that is) to crack it....probly not a good idea.

I was just thinking that you could scan it, make sure its clean and send everyone a copy of the data.
gobogen
In my mind, at least in this case, the chip in the game is just a data storing device (it's quite old-school to have physical storage, obviously) that you can access to fairly easily with some hardware skill and tools, or the right reader/decoder. It's is fragile, and must be handled with care. Sorry if I used improper naming for what I meant, but it shouldn't be too hard to get to the info on the microchip handed to you by the Johnson given your knowledge of these kinds of things.
Redjack
Now where is that hacker and the recon team...?
Redjack
Is it just me and Soykaf Adict now then?
gobogen
No I'm still here. But I don't have much to do right now. It was passover/easter, and it's a busy time of the year for lots of people (including myself), so I'll just assume that this is all that's going on and that they'll be back around.
Redjack
hehehehe.. I knew our GM was still around. I was commenting on the lack of posts from anyone else for over ten days. I know Syndicate_killer had posted else where he was working an incredible number of double shifts.. Usually though the ten day mark is a bad omen when no one posts that they will be away for a while.

I hope you're right though. We are just getting ready to lay out our plans.
gobogen
Yeah, I'm worried too Redjack. This doesn't bode too well. Like I said, I still have hope.
Redjack
Well I want to continue but we seem a little stuck in regards to time until the recon is completed. Cthulhu449 hasn't posted to any forum on the board since the 3/29 and we know Trigger is OOO, possibly permanently due to computer issues.

As stated above, Syndicate_killer is working double shifts at work so he is OOO till that rl strain on his time is resolved. Should we look at other options that allow us to proceed forward?
gobogen
I'm not sure what to do at this point honestly. I'll give them a few more days, and then we can try to move things in another direction.
