What's the general plan for the recon? Rolls?
Fenris
So my thought is visual Perception rolls from everyone as we sweep the spaces, and then any knowledge skills that might be appropriate to tactics or organized crime techniques, or specifically Yakuza.
Redjack
I thinking drive around, sending the drones into the air. The fly-spy has a range of 100m and the roto-drone a range of 400m. I'm thinking the rotodrone stays in the trunk. Regrettably, none of my drones are armed at the moment (Red is my first technical character. Since his creation I have learned a lot about modifying drones.)

If the fly-spy finds the initial recon to be clean, then the duo can continue to the meet while Red moves to a roof top and insures it stays clean. I can then remote the car to pick them up and insure that they get clear before rejoining them. The sedan is rigged with a range of 1km (my range is 1km as well).

Sound good?
BishopMcQ
Works for me, I just need the rolls to support those plans =)
Redjack
Putting the car on autopilot and jumping into the Fly-Spy to search. Not sure how many rolls you needs so I rolled six sets. { Wow.. I need to upgrade the sensors.. }
Sensor(2) + Perception(1) + Visual Specialization(2) +Actively Searching(3)
4,1,6,5,3,6,3,5 = 4 hits
1,6,6,6,2,1,3,4 = 3 hits
4,3,5,2,3,1,3,2 = 1 hit
4,1,5,5,1,2,1,1 = 2 hits
2,3,2,1,4,3,3,5 = 1 hit
2,5,2,5,3,4,3,4 = 2 hits

Buddha72
Sounds like a plan.

Perceptoin + Intuition
02 02 03 05 06 06 (3 hits)

I have absolutely no knowledge skills here to help with crime people. frown.gif
All my stuff is around Templars but I did notice I haven't gotten any reply from my info broker yet and I know we've jumped time a little.
BishopMcQ
RJ and Buddha's recon is up.
Buddha72
Thanks!

Posted (sorry for the delay - my new personal mantra of late) and waiting to see if we have a magic solution to the problem.
Redjack
Are you all thinking about plan "C"?
(I know the flaw here is that we haven't actually discussed plan "C"...)
BishopMcQ
My understanding of Plan C is that Herne goes in to negotiate, and the rest of you nuke the boat with everything you've got if Yamato screws around.
HeySparky
I think that should be Plan A.

His defaulted social skills are WAY better than Edana's. Who I should point out has NO social skills except Intimidate. Which really only gets her into trouble.

And how cool would it be to have us remain mostly anonymous (except for what they can discern of Edana from Herne) and mysterious instead of sending in: racially repugnant elves, socially inept not-trolls, a TM that would probably prefer to remain on a distant rooftop...?
BishopMcQ
Fenris mentioned that he would do his best to get posts up today or tomorrow. If there is nothing by midday Saturday, I will bump along to the boat.

This is everyone's call to throw some actions or plans, otherwise I'm going with the stated course of action--Elves plus Edana go to the boat, and Red stays as a sniper on the roof.
Redjack
Ok, I'm sluffing as the team's hacker... Can I locate a hardline access point anywhere on the roof?
BishopMcQ
Perception or Electronics (Hardware) + Intuition?
Redjack
Wow, Invisible Castle loves me again!
Intuition(5)+Perception(1)+Specialization-Visual(2): 2,2,5,6,6,3,5,6 = 5 hits
Redjack
...but the GM hates me... wink.gif
BishopMcQ
Hey, I gave you a datadrop and presumed you would want to hook it up. I also said that the meet was on a boat at the docks...I never said that the boat would stay at the dock. biggrin.gif
Redjack
Posted appropriate to my level of surprise. smile.gif
BishopMcQ
Buddha's going to be off the radar for a bit.

Sparky I believe you're up with the talking bit.
BishopMcQ
I pushed the IC a bit.
Redjack
Is there an open phone line for Red to hear the details?
BishopMcQ
Phone, no. The team has comms, though it they left it open is up to one of them...
BishopMcQ
Per Fenris--Kraxus' comm is open.
Redjack
I'm assuming with RL issues abounding with players that this game is going dormant until December?
BishopMcQ
I was hoping that Fenris would be able to post a little bit. Without Fen or Sparky, then yeah, it's going to be put to bed for awhile.
HeySparky
I'm around, if I can't contribute actual crafted posts, I can at least give IC intent in OOC thread or over IM.

Also - Yamato wants 'data'... what is this 'data' he speaks of? I shore hope we have it or we're katana meat.
Buddha72
Back from my family trip and ready to go. I'll talk to Fenris and see if he can post in the next day or so.
HeySparky
I got this info from McQ in response to questions about the data...

QUOTE
The 'data' is Ulik's testimony. You also have a collection of optical chips that contain datafiles and pictures. These were last in Kraxus' possession, I'm not sure if he brought them to the meet.


@Fenris (or Buddha-to-Fenris): Did Kraxus bring the data or is it something we'll have to arrange a drop for.

@All: Any way Fen answers that, I'd still like to make the drop a short time in the future, so we don't end up on the bottom of the Sound. In itty-bitty, bitesized bits.
HeySparky
Herne Assenses Yamato, 14 dice
6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1: 3 hits
Fenris
My apologies guys, I meant to do this earlier. There's no way I have the time (aside from when fires are sweeping through >.< ) to keep up with the games on the boards, so I must regretfully bow out. I'm sorry things have been lagging waiting on me to act, I'd meant to do this a week or two ago.
HeySparky
Hope you all have a terrific holiday, enjoying food and family and friends. I know the people I've met and the games we've played are a part of what I'm thankful for today. smile.gif

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! biggrin.gif
HeySparky
MAHRMMMMMMMMM...

McQ...
BishopMcQ
Hey Sparky--I'm just surfacing. If we can get a few more of the crew back in here, we'll get her rolling again.
Fenris
As of Thursday I'm basically back! Is everyone else interested in reviving this thread?
Redjack
Let's do it.
Buddha72
I'm still lurking in the corners as well. biggrin.gif
HeySparky
Woot!
Redjack
I think we have a quorum..
BishopMcQ
Look for a bump this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Fenris
w00t! On the road again!
BishopMcQ
So, the bump is up. Anyone who speaks Japanese will hear that he ordered them to change course.
Fenris
I think Gellawyn speaks that now -=wink=-

I think we are moving again wink.gif
Redjack
If Red gets to be too much comic relief for anyone let me know. Every time I go to post for him, I see him as the old school decker type... not used to putting the meat body on the line... and kind of an early first season John Criton. Who knows... Maybe he'll progress into a 4th season John Criton type over time. wink.gif
Fenris
lol...nice. No problems with all at the post, I was just lol as I was reading it.

So, my assumption is that we're heading back to the safe house. Hoping I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by trying to push it forward too fast.
Fenris
Quick note: Buddha and I are out for a long weekend, so we'll be back and posting on Tuesday wink.gif
Fenris
As Bishop is fond of saying,

"OY, SPARKY!"
Redjack
Sparky...? Wasn't she the one calling to kick this back up? wink.gif
Fenris
Bishop, should we just push along?
BishopMcQ
At this point, yes. Where are you headed so I can push the bump? Or you can push yourselves along.
Redjack
I'm ready for either Fenris to tell us what's next (wink.gif ) or a GM bump...
