I am ready! I have tweaked character sheet a little (dropped Agility to racial max and increased Charisma). Everything else should be good to go.

Just so we are on the same page, here are some basic colours I use for various forms of communication:

Basic text - description of what is going on

Bolded, orange text - timeline/location information

"Cyan text" - dialogue

"Magenta text" - dialogue via electronic communications media

<<@Recipient[Sender]: yellow text>> - messaging sent to a particular recipient from a particular sender

Taupe italic text - thoughts, memories

Red text - magical manipulation commands or influences, usually mentally transmitted

I may use other colours to highlight something that doesn't fit the above.

Gideon is doing a Matrix Search on the Bellevue Poor House. Do you want this rolls embedded in the IC under a spoiler banner, or here?

Logic 5 - 1 Defaulting (Data Search) = 4 dice ==> 4d6.hits(5) → [1,3,2,6] = (1)

Yeah. let's do dice rolls in the OOC thread.

Isinghar, I love the accent. Keep it up. The yellow colour is for text, not voice. So Trent sent a text message, not a voice message, and your yellow reply was also in text. Cool that Anton prefers to spell his words as he speaks them!

Well, I use my BlackBerry Messnger to send quick voice messages, so I do not need to type using stupid small keyboard. Receiver just presses "Play" and can hear my voice message playback directly in BB Messenger. I thought that would be "normal" in Shadowrun! Also can fool around with the accent this way!

Yes, go ahead and send voice messages. But so I don't get confused, please use magenta for voice messages as well as voice conversation.

[b]Knight Saber[/b], I haven't forgotten Lamia, but what Tee Dubya says depends in part on what happens with Gideon.

OK, Gideon will Observe in Detail the block around the Bellevue Poor House:

[Observe in Detail] Intuition 5 + Perception 4 + Attention Coprocessor 3 + Vision Enhancement 3 = 15 dice
15d6.hits(5) → [5,2,1,6,2,4,2,1,5,1,5,2,6,4,5] = (6)

The jihadists are EVERYWHERE!!!

Gideon is nearly fluent in Arabic (4 ranks) and actually speaks it better than he does English (3 ranks!). So assumming the foreigners are actually speaking Arabic, will make a Confrontation test (threshold 3 for Radical) and see if Gideon can keep his cool!

Confrontation: Willpower 4 + Intuition 5 = 9 dice ==> 9d6.hits(5) → [6,2,3,5,1,1,3,3,6] = (3)

Just barely contained! However Gideon is still curious and will post IC his reaction and what he is doing next. Have to run for a meeting, so wil get to it around noon.

We should understand that a Confrontation Test comes if Gideon actually experiences a confrontation (RC page 108). That hasn't happened yet. If one develops, then Gideon manages to be professional and resist the temptation to escalate.

OK Gideon will need to use some of the expense money to buy a suit. He does not want to spend more than 500 nuyen on the suit, shirt, tie and shoes. Is that enough?

Also when he approaches Tee Dubya's house he will be on the lookout for any "watchers" outside the home, and will try and get by attracting as little attention as possible.

Observe in Detail: 15 dice ==> 15d6.hits(5) → [5,3,2,5,5,3,6,5,2,5,5,5,3,6,3] = (9)

Infiltration: 12 dice ==> 12d6.hits(5) → [4,6,6,5,4,5,3,5,3,2,2,3] = (5)

Yes, a decent, classically cut suit can be had for that price. If you are looking for something with a little armor, an excellent buy is available from last year's production from Vashon's Synergist Business Line, slacks, shirt and suit jacket (total armor 6/4) for 775 nuyen.

9 hits, huh? Sheesh.

OK, will get the Vashon's Synergist Business suit.

Yeah I couldn't believe that roll

I'm sure when it come time when I need a high successes roll, in a life and death situation, it will be a glitch instead

Alright! We're all in the same place at the same time! Well, this thread, anyway.

Honestly, I hope soon I will be able to shut up and let you guys do the majority of the talking.

Spotty access to internet next couple of days.

Sorry for the delay in posting. My wife gave birth on Friday, 3 weeks early and I have been swamped with new Dad stuff. I just got back on the boards.

Not sure if you are waiting for a response from Gideon basis the last IC post. I read through the last post by Knight Saber and was hoping Tee Dubya would respond to some of her questions before I jumped back into the conversation.

Yes, I think I need to get on the ball here.

By the way, congratulations! I assume mom and baby are OK. I'm telling you, though. Both you and your wife. You get a chance for an hour's sleep... take it! To Hell with any other commitment.

Thank you! I got 5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours

I understand that sort of stress lets up a little after the first 18 years.

*knock* *knock*

Isinghar. You in there?

Are you guys waiting for something from me?

It looked like his pose, so I was waiting for something, yes.

Ooookayyy.. so how about I move things on to Thunder Bay and see if the ball rolls on it's own after that?

If anyone's still here, let's try it.
