@ Redjack

@Gobogen: I can answer that one for you....as far as you know, there are no weapons concealed on my actual person in anyway that could be easily reached. My messenger bag has some slight odd bulging, but there would be no way to tell what is in there since it is packed fairly tight and I don't think they have an x-ray vision mod yet. You can check out the Character Sketch I posted on the first OOC page if you want to see what Tigger looks like....since that is how he looks now. Ain't really much of any place to hide a weapon.

Yeah I figured from the info you posted on the first page of the OOC. I have already checked the drawings too (good work mate). I'm just trying to pretend I didn't know what you carry.

I'm all up for an unarmed fight between us btw I honestly wonder who would win.

Unarmed? I don't know, I wonder as well...but with any sort of weaponry you would probably wipe the floor with me.

Ok, time for the GM to provide the players some details:
The next planned event is at 20:00. For reasons not yet known to the players, there will be no contact from Kilroy. Fixers and Johnsons always call according to their schedule, not the beck and call of runners, so this is nothing knew to any of you. Please advance your characters towards that time frame. Not all of you will be included in the planned event for that time yet, but I will begin drawing the teams together following that mark in time.

I take that there will be no sign of Spencer either before 8 o'clock?

Sorry about the hold up had connection probs and playing catch up....posted so I'm at least closer to rest of story arc.


Again I apologize.

Sorry I'm not posting much, but my guy isn't really doing anything, and the pause is a good excuse for me to focus on some freelancing stuff.

I'll be posting again ASAP when something happens.

I went ahead and advanced the first team to the call for the meet. I didn't want to frustrate the players with unresponsiveness from the Kilroy due to things going on behind the scenes. I've loved the player interaction at this point and your getting into the scene, especially between Tigger and Rex.

Team #2 will be forming up in the next few days. If you have any other interactions you wish to resolve prior to shortly after 20:00, work them out in IC, OOC or PM me.

I also would like to solicite a little feed back. Do you feel the scenes are explained well enough? I am giving you enough to work with? Do you feel the OOC is being used effectively by me to keep you as players in the loop? Am I pushing on too fast? Or not soon enough?

@RJ

Ok, just to get things clear. I'd like to know who knows who and how ...

Aeryn knows none of you (yet). It's likely, that she has seen Rex a few times, though, now that I think about it, considering, that she is a regular at the Mall since quite some time.

I was also a little confused about who is where and when, which is why I was generally a little shy about posting something concerning other characters.

Bye
Thanee

Sorry, every one seem to have missed this post:

At this point only Rex, Jake and one of Grayson's identities have worked together for Kilroy.
I will also have that Jake has once worked with Buzz on a light run for Kilroy.
Rex has worked security for a number of Mall vendors and given his distinct appearance might have been seen around by others, but not known.

Sorry for missing that one. I'll wait for Joe's response before moving on with the conversation with Jake.

Whisper doesn't know anyone either.

Before I post: I thought the Crime Mall was an independant thing. If it's been Co-opt by the mob thjats cool with me.

Grayson isn't wearing a face that Rex knows. That wasn't totally clear, I guess.

The Mall is independant, to a point. The mob and the other major players keep the peace, enforce the rules. No gang colors inside the building. Outside and below only.

Other gangs tend to take delight in someone wearing colors inside.

Com units
I feel abliged to clarify com units since some of the details are a little vague and I don't think everyone understands the various complex aspects of a 2070 com unit. First, a com serves the function of the following devices:
- - Cell phone, music player, pda and personal computer

Your com interacts with things in a variety of different ways:
- - SkinLink/Datajack: Direct physcial connection
- - Laser/infrared: Direct, but wireless connection. Cannot be hacked (per say), but can be seen if you can view the correct spectrum.
- - PAN (Personal Area Network): When communicating with a device (cyberware, refrigerator, TV, doorlock) or another PAN/computer system/node the conversation is limited by the lower signal rating of the two devices.
- - LTG (Local Telecommunications Grid): While this grid is still wireless, it enables you to send and receive calls. Your lifestyle pays the access rights here. You can download movies, call friends outside your signal range, etc. It must be linked to a SIN to work.

PAN Modes [ OFF, Hidden, Passive, Active]
LTG, Skinlink, Datajack, Laser, Infrared Modes [ OFF, ON ]

Note: Not all devices are capable of using Skinlink, Datajack, Laser or Infrared Modes. The com unit must possess those optional hardware interfaces.

So, a person can be in PAN hidden/Off and still receive your message if you have their LTG and they are connected to the grid (LTG mode = ON).

Hope this helps.

So, what should we include in our post header then?

Maybe like this?

PAN = passive (LTG, Skinlink) <-- those are ON, those unmentioned are OFF


Oh, and I don't think you could be connected to an LTG with your PAN = off.

Bye
Thanee

Sorry Sparky, it wasn't clear no. I understood that he was under a different identity on his PAN, but I didn't know he had different faces!

Editing my IC post.

Thanee is correct on all accounts, though in passive mode you specify what information is shared and could in fact share the SIN while still filtering unwanted incoming communications. If your have LTG off, you can't received calls or text from your fixer, momma, etc.. unless he/she is nearby or skipping off a local PAN.

Note: A hacker can hack nearby PAN connected to the LTG and then attempt to hack your hidden PAN that is not connected to the LTG. There are then some limitations if you are a hacker trying to do this, but it is possible.

Also, just to clarify: The Mall Office is on the second floor and the characters in it on also on the second floor. <G>

I have updated the post with a description of Smokey Joe. As each person posts for the first time after entering the room, please post a description of yourself so that your team mates can have a current description.

Thanks!

Going to include description in my next post..

Ok, Greer (Grayson) gets 6 hits in negotiation with Smokey Joe (after spending a point of edge). Smokey Joe get 2 hits. Yeilding 4 net hits.

Awesome! We have a negociator!

The only way Rex negociates isn't really appropriate to dealing with an employer.

Guys.

I've been without internet the last days, and now I've gotta head out of the country for a few days.

I'll do my best to keep up, but for the time, assume that Buzz remains his silent self.

Sorry sorry sorry, and please don't kick me out. I'll be back with a bang, I promise.

@Draug - I understand RL happens. Thanks for the heads up, we'll carry Buzz quietly along. Have a safe trip, we'll be here when you get back.

As long as he doesn't make mess in the van .

I'll give Smokey Joe's team a day or so to post in any replies before I have him provide the next round of dialog.

I just want to wish a very happy birthday to our GM.

Happy Birthday Redjack

It's his birthday?? Well, then Happy Birthday as well from me.

Happy B-Day

Thanks to all!! Has been a great 18th birthday AGAIN. We just won't talk about how many times I've had an 18th birthday though!!

Heh..I stole that one from Demolition Man...i think..

Happy belated birthday, Redjack.

I'm out of town from today (Tuesday) through Friday. I should have some time in the evenings for posting, but am giving a heads up in case I don't.

Thanee

@Cedric:

Hehehehehehe

(Visualizing the concealed ehem *gear* Cynic's trying to spot.)

Sssuuuuuurrrre!

He ain't exactly looking for firearms at this point.

But he might notice something nonetheless. Though maybe there should be a higher modifier.
