Sure we can FF. Next day will be fine. Got to have Tank make a few calls then. After that, I think I'll be ready for a bump to the opera.

Here is Tank's social roll to lock down an escort for the evening. No modifiers applied.
Charisma(3) + Etiquette(2) + Imp Etiquette(1) + Kinesics(2) [5,1,3,6,5,3,2,1] = 3 hits
ludomastro
Despite his best charms, Tank, is only able to find a rather air-headed brunette to be his guest.

You can add the details that you like.
Redjack
Sorry about the lowered post rate. I got a new boss and for the foreseeable future I will have an increased responsibility in the day-to-day management of my team. I'll be able to keep up at least 1/week and will try for more frequent posting. wink.gif
============
ludomastro
Here's to hoping that the new boss is a good thing.
ludomastro
Here's a bump to keep this off the third page.

Oh hey.. Here is the description for Bolo

Redjack
Ok, I'm ready to FF to opera day if you are.
(Here's hoping this week slows down)
ludomastro
I will second the hope to slow down part. I will try to get an IC post up when I get home.
Redjack
I'll post up the new comlink Dalton buys tomorrow.
ludomastro
I like the interplay with Dalton/Tank. Take a karma for him.

Go ahead and tie-up any loose ends and I'll roll out the next challenge.
Redjack
I needed a post to give Dalton some character. We now return to a slightly more dystopian channel. wink.gif
-----
At this point I am good to ff to either the next planned event or to the parking lot, whichever comes first.
ludomastro
It is very late, so I will catch up on the FF post tomorrow (today, I guess).
Redjack
Tank: [3,6,5,5,6,1,3,6,2,2] = 5 hits
Book: [5,2,2,5,6,1,5,6,1,4,2] = 5 hits
Assuming the perception test is visual
ludomastro
All of the cues were visual and ... wow. That five is nice. Here is the reward:

1. One of the officers near the stage is taking a cut of the drug sales.
2. The other is scoring a few small packages that appear to contain chips.
3. There is a third member of the security detail that is wearing plainclothes - a troll off to the side.
4. System Error is uncomfortable in Digger's office.
5. Lieutenant Johnson is carrying a pistol.

"Today" IC is Monday night.
Redjack
Tank: Negotiation [2,5,1,2,5,1,6] = 3 hits
ludomastro
2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 2 hits
Redjack
First thing I need is a list of what's one the chip and a dossier on our Johnson. One on each of the targets then when you have time. wink.gif
ludomastro
Just got back from a STOMP! concert. It was awesome! The wife and I loved it. Well worth going to see if you get the chance.

Unfortunately, I am exhausted. I will post the information tomorrow.
Redjack
Not a problem. Take your time for a good post. wink.gif

As to STOMP!, I have wanted to see that but never had an opportunity. Monday was my anniversary. I had to teach in the evening so I took my wife for a nice lunch to one of our favorite local restaurants and then for a mocha at a local coffee house. She was surprised and it was a nice hour.
ludomastro
I am still finishing off some details for System Error on the dossiers. I'll post that later tonight; however, you are welcome to respond to the immediate if you like.

EDIT: Ok, post up. Feel free to fill in gaps as you see fit.
Redjack
Working on a post today. Had friends over yesterday so I didn't get my Sunday posts in as planned.
Redjack
Two days prior to meeting with System:

Dalton resisting his addiction:
- Day #1: [3,4,1,3,3,4,4] = 0 hits
- Day #2: [2,5,1,2,6,3,1] = 2 hits

Book social interaction:
- Day #1: [2,3,4,4,2,1] = 0 hits
- Day #2: [5,4,5,6,2,4] = 3 hits

If you have a moment to input some specifics for that last roll that would be cool.
ludomastro
I completely understand about RL. I have spent 55% of my time on a project and have only finished about 40% of it. Thankfully, extra innings are allowed as the project is for legal compliance.

On to the game. I assume by last roll you mean the one for Book.

IC post up.
Redjack
I'm winding up for what will probably be a pretty big day at work... So I'm trying to squeeze a post in now.

Also at work so this is all for now:

The bum appears to be a normal human male.

Cub Scout camp this week. I should be able to post up tonight.

ludomastro
Today was brutal at work. Long day but finally finished with the project. Now, if I didn't have to go in on my day off tomorrow... frown.gif

If you don't mind, I would like to role play Jimmy a bit to get a feel for him.
Redjack
Congrats on finishing the project! Today is a last day of Cub Scout Day Camp. I tell ya, I'm amazed how much camp takes out of a guy. I've been sleeping good and hard the last few days.
ludomastro
How was Cub Scout Camp? Good to hear that you enjoyed it.
Redjack
Camp was great. The boys really enjoyed it. A buddy of mine is the new Pack Leader for our pack and now that we know our way around camp, next year we'll recruit a little heavier for it.
ludomastro
I'll try to keep posting next week; however, I will be out of town on business and it may or may not be possible. Just thought that I would give you the heads up.
Redjack
Enjoy your trip (as much as is possible). Post when you can. wink.gif
ludomastro
Hey, I get the pleasure of staying for an extra day, now. Yea me!

I'm going to ask that Tank and Book both roll Intuition plus Negociation or Politics or a related skill to see if they catch what else he may be saying between the lines.

Let me know when you need more information from other contacts.
Redjack
Tank: Intuition(4) + Negotiation(2) = [6,5,4,2,3,2] = 2 hits
Book: Intuition(4) + Negotiation(1) = [1,4,3,1,6] = 1 hit
ludomastro
Ok, Tank picks up on the following. Book, not so much.

Dick's is really a meat packing plant but that's not all that it is. The Captain, and he does mean a Captain, is also operating other things out of the back. He is running prostitution - if not outright slavery - in the back along with smuggling, most likely drugs. Additionally, there is money laundering and racketeering as well. He really doesn't know which Captain with the Star.

If you feel that I missed something, let me know.

Any other questions?
Redjack
The duo will delay a few minutes in order to try and figure out what is up. Next step is for a drive by on the meat packing plant. Get the lay of the land. Determine what buildings are nearby, where they might do a little stake out from.
ludomastro
IC post up.

My modem died. I was out of internet for a while. I thought that my wife would go into withdrawals there for a bit. She loves her message board.

Back now.
Redjack
Welcome back!
Does she SR as well?

Book's Perception Test: [3,6,1,3,2,3,1,4,2,3,5] + [4,6,5] = 4 hits
Tank's Perception Test: [2,3,5,6,3,2,1,1,4,4,2,5,1] = 3 hits
ludomastro
No, she's not into SR for some reason. sleepy.gif

She does like DnD though - says it's easier. ohplease.gif

-----

On to the results:

Book only recognizes one of the entrants - Antonio Bonosoro, a low level in the Don's circle. His muscle goes by the name of Hendricks, who is playing a game with someone else. He recalls a good level of detail on the rest and will be able to remember them if need be.

Tank knows all but one. Each is a member of Tommy's crew. Micheal "Little Mikey" O'Mally - the big guy, Thomas "Thumbs" O'Grady - a specialist in demolitions, Ian "Boom Boom" Ryan - a former boxer, and Sylvia "The Knockout" - specializing in embarassing politicians: no one knows her last name.

One of the muscles is playing a game near the front door - Flannegin? - with the muscle for the guy he doesn't know.

Oh.. You did advise her that causes cancer.. right? (Or are you just waiting for the big insurance payout?) biggrin.gif

-------

As stated in IC, they want to get away from this block but within signal range of the drone. Once they find a spot to sit, Tank will look to the drone. Time to see if the building is really unoccupied. Book is astrally projecting to get a feel for mage defenses and probes in the area.
ludomastro
She knows about the "d20 cancer" but doesn't care. wink.gif

I'm off for the next several days - vacation is great! We're not going anywhere, just taking some time off to enjoy the 4th and to take the kids to the zoo.

IC post is up.

Have Book roll Perception.

I assume that Tank was aiming for the back awning? If not, let me know.
Redjack
We recently started playing Serenity. Not concerned too much about the rules, more the story. Its got a simple system where the results are more subjective than exacting (so it seems).

We're shooting off fireworks tomorrow night. My buddy ran a stand this year.. devil.gif
ludomastro
Sound like fun. We are about to head over to a friend's place to watch the city fireworks. Utah is pretty strict on what they let "normal people" use.

Re: Serenity

Is that based on the Firefly series?
Redjack
Yes, Serenity is based upon the Firefly series/Serenity movie.

I live in the country. About anything goes here... and we are gonna blow it up tomorrow night. ork.gif
ludomastro
I grew up in the country so I can understand that. "Sure, mister, my dad doesn't mind if you hunt, just understand that if you shoot one of the cows, you bought it."

RE: IC
The "grandmas" are working on the buildings next to Dick's.
The "cowboy" was supervising the unloading and is different from the guy with the smile plastered on his face.

Recap:

The cowboy is supervising the unloading of the cows.
The ork - same one who was firing bolts into the cattle - unloaded the cows.
There was a smiling human who left the back of the building.
There was a smiling troll that left the back of the building.
The short, balding man walked out and greeted the cowboy.

So, there are a total of five people, three humans, a troll and the ork who is working.

Sorry about the confusion.
Redjack
What is the building next to the meat packing plant that the grandmas are cleaning? Would that be housing units? And what is the building on the other side of the street?

Would it be possible to get a simple graphic of the block? One done in paint or photoshop will be fine.
I just need to know the plant, the building on either side (if there is one). The buildings across the street and behind the plant. Parking areas, streets and doors into the plant.
