Cue the dead body on the sidewalk.
I love it. Tense situations need to go to hell once in a while or they start to lose their gravity.

True, though that will probably change if he keeps shooting.
Wonder if we can help the other team get away, and then convince them that the gun drones were the Lone Star detective's backup.

As long as we don't kill them, that can be managed.
edit: Let me know when I'm up for the IC Posts.
That'd make for one hell of a save. Chuck Reaper into the car and race away into the night, with the rotodrone in "hot pursuit" carefully firing around the car to reinforce the lie. Then it'd just be a matter of getting Doll out and finding Gearhead.
Oh, and not getting caught by the real Lone Star. Stupid details.
Edit: And I think Snowflower is up

Let's see if I make through the rest of the combat turn.
so I think I've got a problem, Rosie has another pass and i don't. So, does she fire again? or , since the guy fell and the gun was dropped to the ground, will she stop..?
yea, getting doll out of the hotel would be tricky and time consuming, and we'll have to see how the mage reacts.
do i need to post for buds retreat or will that be covered in a narration?

As far as Rosie goes, how much of a "safety margin" is built in in her orders so she isn't too easily fooled by enemies that play dead?
To DireRadiant: Roll your most applicable social skill for the "cease fire" command.
Also, who does Snow Flower check for a pulse, the "cabbie"? The Lone Star Officer is not unconscious, his last action was shooting at the Cabbie.

The japanese mage's trained senses can almost feel the ripple in the astral space when a spell is cast inside the car, through the polarized windows, and sent straight at the cop. Gasping, the cop rolls his eyes up, and collapses, unconscious.

Did you mean the mage overcast and went unconscious here instead?
I edited my post to add the default leadership test roll.
Let me know what needs changing, I'll edit my post accordingly.

I imagine she would stop if he wasn't moving or holding a gun. it might leave her open to people playing dead, but it would also prevent wasted ammo shooting at actually dead targets.
perception check maybe?
Hey guys,
I've been very busy lately and I just came back to our thread for the first time in maybe 10 days. I'm trying to catch up but I find the pace of this game to be probably way too quick for me. I'm sorry to say this, but I think I have to leave for lack of time IRL.
Truly sorry to have to go, I really liked the characters of this game and it is looking promissing. Enjoy it and I apologize again.

Sorry to see you go, Gobogen, but don't feel bad - schedules can play havoc with everyone.
rosie's perception pilot 3 + activly looking 3 =2 (i don't know if theres other modifiers that apply)
Unless anyone wants to do more combat actions we'll be leaving "bullet time", so state your next actions normally.
Snow Flower intends to cast Influence on the LS Cop - 6 Turns, while applying a R4 Stim patch to the cabbie to get him on his feet, hopefully without him getting the idea to keep shooting, and summon a spirit and use it's powers to help her leave. Is that going to work as a single post, or do we want to break it down into steps and resolve as we go? For example if the Cab Driver wants to stay and fight after he gets the stim patch that could complicate things, but if he simply gets in the cab with Doll and leaves that would be good.
Hmm, not worth waiting, I'll just post IC the first part, what Doll and the Cabbie do will be dealt with as they come up.

Did minor edit re stim patch.
Let me know when the 6 combat turns pass, so I can proceed with the personal running away bit.

Go ahead, DireRadiant.
(If you send a drone over to Gearhead, make a stealth check (roll what's appropriate depending on pilot/program).)
yea, Rosie's not sneaky enough for that (3 dp for infiltrate, maybe 6 if i'm jumped in? does the Hot VR and Control rig stack?) little risky either way. especially with the LMG hangin out. I could ride by in charlene if its close by?

That would work.
Snow Flower will ride with Nuke, assuming he stays along enough to pick her up, and did so, otherwise, alternatives!
ok, jumping into Charlene to drive By Gearheads location;
Response 4 + Intuition 3 + VCR 2 + hot sim 2 = 6 hits (chameleon paint -4 to spot and ECM 5)
Response 4 + Intuition 3 + VCR 2 + hot sim 2 = 6 hits (chameleon paint -4 to spot and ECM 5)
There shouldn't be any more troubles until you all reach the meeting spot (unless you do something potentially more dangerous than driving through traffic), so you can forward to the next location.
Not planning to do anything more dangerous than drive through what little traffic there is in the early evening on a weeknight.
Snow Flower was going to give Nuke a tummy tickle... would that count as dangerous?
Hehe, no. But If no one is doing anything dangerous, we can forward to arriving at "Lucky Eddies", Red-Rom, do you have the place ready already, or should I make something up?
Everyone loves the Pillsbury Dough Hacker.
I got "lucky Eddies" off of The Shadowrun supplemental: http://tss.dumpshock.com/
I'll download it once I am at home, then post.

Lucky Eddie’s [Auburn]

Lucky Eddie’s is a little hole-in-the-wall where everything tastes the same — like smoke — and everyone is welcome so long as you don’t cause trouble. Eddie’s Arcade became known as Lucky Eddie’s after it escaped serious damage from a fire that leveled the rest of the block, a local riot, and a Yak/Mafia shootout — all in the same week. Eddie takes it easy and serves the drinks and food to a clientele mostly of plant workers at night and local kids during the day.
> Eddie’s is just Eddie’s. When you blow that job, or want to wallow in a little misery, it’s a good place to be alone or find someone whose day was worse than yours.
> Rhyssa
> The bluecollars can spot runners like runners can spot feds, but they don’t much care. They do good by themselves, selling time schedules, blueprints, and the like at a fair price, as a sort of proto-information-union.

Neat. Not sure why the address is in Tacoma, but neat.
By the way, does Gearhead's condition seem appropriate for someone who got hit with non-lethal black IC, then took a pile of hot sim dumpshock?

Groovy. Suddenly occurred to me that someone else might have been lurking around and jumped his persona right after he got chased from the Nexus.
DWC: are you talking about checking out Cheryl's place on the matrix or in person?
Nuke means in person, though getting into her CHN shouldn't be too tough either.
@DWC It's a cheap metalink... aka R1 Commlink not sure it can even run more then one piece of software, never mind all the stuff you lot loaded onto it. It's achingly and obviously slow.
hey I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm just being dramatic for character purposes
man, its gettin rough in there
Not by the game's standards, no shooting or magical zapping yet 
.

hmmm. ok, the drama is great, the characters feel alive, but out of character, I feel like this is a real mess.
@dire: you tryin to get rid of me?
It looks like Jasper is on his own in investigating this chop shop.. which seems unwise, but I don't see him asking you guys for help.

I'd not call it a mess yet, but I think a few of you may have forgotten that the premise was that the runners already did a run together before this. So, there could be a bit more trust than is currently showing.
Splitting up to gatehr info is not neccessariyl a bad idea though.

Not necessarily. I've butted heads with people over differences of professional opinion after working with them for 6 or 7 years. I figure that the trust banked from the last run is why everyone is calming down rather than continue riling each other up.

Some questions shouldn't be asked, like "Does this make me look fat?". Obviously not, otherwise it would happened already. He who acts first wins.
Because I can't IC or OOC figure out what we want to do, I'm not sure what to do next. It might be better if I drop out of this game.
Nah. Stick around, it's not like there are no options for where to go from here, and it's not like everyone hates each other.
Yeah. As far as options are concenred, you can go after just about every lead, split up, or together, doesn't matter.
