Bump us back to the safehouse.

At the moment, we're looking at the meeting with the General out in some god-forsaken location. Did anyone have contacts that were supposed to get back to them with information about him, the location, or transportation?

You have word in with a ganger about a helicopter...otherwise no other contacts to my recollection.

Look for a bump later today.

I just realized that I finished my post and submitted it after Bishop bumped. I'll get a new post up later today.

So, for Bishop, we're moving on to the items referenced in our first two questions to Ulik, which is a list of targets and potential recruits.

Don't forget guys, we also have some other people and resources we're can move on to:

Extortion: Small Time, Large (Criminal), Large (Political), Large (Private)
Sympathizers: Information, Financial, Logistical
There's also current land grants/plans for churches, and some other resources.

My goal at this point is to quickly and systematically destroy as many Templar resources as I can. I'm also hoping to pick up enough information to track down the next tier of people up the chain so we can go wherever that is and destroy as many resources as we can, rinse and repeat until the Templars are out of commission.

On a similar note, I'm interested in the task that the General was going to be asked to do for the Templars. If it was targeting Templar enemies or if it was just general ass-hatted-ness.

Here are the rolls for my post:
Summon R7 Data Sprite: [1,6,4,5,1,4,4,6,3,6,3,2,1,4] = 4 hits
R7 Sprite Resists: [4,6,1,6,6,2,1] = 3 hits
1 service

Thread up edit form from 1 to 3, buy two hits to thread and two more to resist fading.
Not sure how many rolls you want for the data sprite, so here are a stack:
[1,1,2,4,4,3,2,1,3,2,2,2,6,1] = 1 hit
[1,5,4,5,1,6,4,4,6,3,1,6,1,2] = 5 hits
[2,3,5,1,2,5,5,2,2,4,5,4,5,2] = 5 hits
[4,1,4,3,5,6,3,1,6,3,1,6,5,1] = 5 hits
[6,5,6,4,4,6,5,6,5,5,1,6,3,4] = 9 hits
[4,5,3,2,4,2,4,6,4,2,1,5,2,5] = 4 hits
[6,2,6,6,1,5,5,5,4,6,4,6,2,4] = 8 hits
[4,5,2,4,4,6,5,3,1,5,5,5,2,2] = 6 hits
[3,5,6,6,3,2,4,3,4,1,1,5,6,3] = 5 hits
[5,1,5,4,3,5,6,6,1,6,5,4,1,4] = 7 hits

I decided to hold my long winded post there and let the GM weigh in..
Let me know if I need to edit or roll back anything..

Well, I know Bishop's out for a few more days. But, when he gets back, I need a quick clarification: I'd like a copter with arms and armor, but not one tied to a specific army. Don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Hey folks--I was expecting to be back on Monday, but flights and work kept me from popping in until today. Expect a bump today.

Or tomorrow perhaps..

yeah, I know, I'm lame...bumping now...

McQ: I have a PM in to you. IM or gtalk chat would be splendid. Or email. Whatever.

I haven't seen the PM yet...will try to get on Gtalk later today--probably during lunch.

If there's not a good tech-y way to parse 12 hours of recorded info, we can split up the work - take 3 hours of data each, decide on some parameters of stuff to search for (names, places, companies, etc) and set to.

Sure that works, what kind of tests would we need to sift through the data?

Either Logic + Intuition or Data Search + Intuition whichever is better for people.

Logic (3) + Intuition (3) = Logic and Intuition for data sifting test (6d6.hits(5)=2)

Intuition(5) + Logic(4): [6,4,6,3,3,4,4,6,3] = 3 hits

Logic[4] + Intuition[4] = 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, [5], [5], [6]

3 hits

Herne for everyone's persual, since everyone knows him now.

With the release of Arsenal, anyone who wants to go back and tweak their character can. Please have revised sheets in to me by Feb 3rd.

Wow. Lookit our swank new digs.

I got Arsenal earlier in the week, but still haven't made time to sit down with it. Any good gear in there for a certain Huntress we know?

Sorry for the slow posting but our house has been hit with nasty bug that has been laying everyone low over here - Fenris included but we're beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A few more days and we should all be better or least well enough to post.

OMG... I just got Asresnal... I'm ok with not changing my character, but boy do I need a shop!!

Logic (3) + Intuition (3)
01 03 05 05 06 06 (4 hits)

There's the test for the sorting of the data thingie.

Did you guys want the intel on the other sources first, or shall I bump along to the General and give you the intel for the next leg of the hunt afterwards?

Questions for the meeting with the General:

Are you getting a chopper with or without a pilot?
How much are you willing to pay within the spectrum given?
Is maneuverability or militarization more important?

Make sure it has rigger controls and I'll pilot it.
I vote maneuverability.
Pay? Speaking of pay.....

Was there a question about pay?

We're getting paid in gear, right?

Paid from him in gear, yes.

The question at this point is how much we're willing to fork out for the helo. I'd say probably somewhere between 10-15k, just to make sure we get something decent.

And I second the vote that maneuverability should be priority over arms/armor.

Agreed. Maneuverability. We're not flyboys.

Agreed, I want to be able to get the hell out of dodge if the need arises.

The general is giving you gear, but you just got cash from the yak.

I need form fitting armor

McQ: Do I need more rolls on that info...?

My understanding was that you wanted to clear up the General before looking at the info for the next leg of extortion and blackmail...

Do you want it now instead?

What about the info we were cross referencing?

That info was actually for the next set of steps in dealing with the Templar, so I think it's fine waiting until after we finish up with the General to have Bishop lay that out for us.

I still need a dollar figure. Are you spending the 20k from Yamato, part of it, more than that?

Also a compiled gear list for each runner would be nice, so I know what you are requesting.

Ok, I will sit down in the next two days and factor up an equipment wish list for Red with prices.
Here are some quick questions I have for Red that can be answered in OOC? (Forgive any I should know)
- How does the General fit into the grand scheme?
- After the data drop, do we owe anything else to the Yakuza?
- How much time will elapse between the boat trip and our trip to see the General?
- What is the relevance of the people for whom Red just gathered all that data?

The General was part of the large scale political extortion that Ulick was behind. (Yamato was large scale criminal.) At this point, you don't owe anything to the Yaks unless someone else comes along with the same info and tries to blackmail Yamato. There are going to be about 48 hours between the meets. The info is the Large Scale Private extortion, small scale private extortion, and sympathizers that Ulick was had his hands on.

Thanks! That's got me back on track. I'll post IC and equipment tomorrow evening.

Bishop I had mentioned 10-15 earlier, and nobody argued, so lets go 15k. I'd rather have a safer ride then the extra cash, and hopefully we'll be getting a bump of equipment from the general that will mean we won't need cash for a little while.

You guys are flying the equivalent of a Hughes Aerospace Emblem (Arsenal 113). It is currently configured for the Squatter accomodations.

As a note, for people who may only be wanting a single suit of armor or low ticket items, this is your chance to get your hands on heavy military grade stuff. Even if you can't use it yourself, you may be able to sell it to contacts for more cash if you find your operating fund is a little low.

Red will be loading his various drones into the copter. He is definitely for picking up some armed drones. If the list runs short, fill it out with armed dobermans & roto-drones as well as fly-spies, all with upgraded sensor packages. He's not shy about insuring we get out money's worth. Stick-n-Shock, GEL rounds and APDS top his ammo selections.

Gellawyn and I will be requesting 2 light suits of mil-spec armor+helmet, compensated for a BOD of 4 to remove penalties, with 4 levels of Fire Resistance and Nonconductivity. Round out the capacity with a set of visible camouflage (ruthineum). Round off whatever we have left with Ares Alpha's.

And upon seeing the team's list for armor, he's feeling extremely under-armored himself and adds that to the list as well.

I think Bishop had a huge writing project drop into his lap this week, so I'd say expect a post next week

Hey all!

I'm still here and Fenris has been keeping me posted as well. The boss man does indeed have a big writing project going on right now but I think he's almost through the bulk of it.

I'm surfacing...look for the bump in just a little bit.

Surfacing as well. Been brutal at work.

Armor for Edana (and Herne?) as well. Power focus? Foci in general?

Anything else, or should I push the ten minutes to the meet? Are you guys going to the actual meet spot or waiting at the chopper?
