@Spiritslayer
Body 1
Mortimer of London Ulysses line 6/5
Full Body Suit?
Full Body Armor 10/8 Avail 14

Whoops, modified this guy too many times and didn't catch that....looks like I won't be dodging any time soon.

As far as the full body suit, short for the form-fitting body armor (full body suit), modified it to reflect that.

Cool I didn't have a time to pick them up, just a delivery time. I realise that OOC I have a time line, but Bianca gave me a job, and a Cinderella deadline: do it by 12:00 or you will wish you had been turned into a pumpkin! So I intended on walking on and picking up the delivery In any event I would like to see the pickup point early in case there are any warning bells, or surprises. By viewing it now, I have time to do something about any problems.

A few questions for you:

• Does the folio includes "turn up at a specific time"? If so I will happily go back to town, and start chasing up information on the pickup and drop off points.
• I am a little hazy on a few details, that I cannot work out how to resolve. The biggest issue is "do I need to rent/steal a bike/car/bus". Is this information available to me in the folio?
• I'd like to ask around about the drop off and pick up points. I'm not sure what die you want me to roll (charisma + ettiquette + contact rating) or just (charisma + ettiquette).

As a sidenote: Griggs is interesting, as is Bianca's veiled threat "drink you'll need it", but I got the impression that Griggs is to be visited after the job.

@seth I can see where you might get confused, yes the folio contains the details, you are to be at Grigg's by midnight, the job will done immediately after (which Gary will tell you when you RP going in, fyi hes a middle aged balding and fairly non-descript orc, however much an orc can really be called non-descript in the posh area of rosemont beach (ala Hey you what are you doing on this side of the wall scum?!).

You dont need transport yourself, you are on the job more as assistance etc. Charisma etiquette will do, plus data search on tacoma, griggs like i said earlier, kind of a non-starter, old fashioned hob knobbing and legwork for you my friend, so youll be able to do charisma + intuition rolls once you actually enter griggs.


@wearz, good post man, probably the best I've seen yet, can you change the timestamps to 15:42 or later as I asked earlier though pls?

@Spirit, remember what I told you via email about the way posting goes, 3rd person limited is the best way to write the posts, so it doesnt sound like a set of simple character descriptors, please fix a bit, if you need help with that give me a shout etc.

@SpiritSlayer:

"BOD 1 AGI 2 REA 1 STR 1"

Wow, your guy must be a complete wreck, physically, when you don your armor, you probably cannot even move anymore.

That's like the stats for a 5-yr-old child.

I'm not sure, that's a good idea.

Bye
Thanee

@ Wearz I still need you to change the timestamps in your post please, you are quite a bit out of sync there.
@wearz, if you could have about a 4 minute delay when you Rp any response etc (aka make sure your post starts from 15:42:00 or later and also takes in Scarlets com message) that would be great.
A 4 minute delay in which message? 4 minutes is 80 combat turns?

Sorry that breaks the immersion for me...so to see a threat wait 80 combat turns to respond.

Kestrel

Kestrel looks over the Spyder Central Room, positions into the recliner, checking for things that one does not want to lie down in. Lowering down into the recliner, feels the cushioning embrace, settling into the Middle World as the Virtual World encompasses him.

Kestrel

Lost in the glorious sensory detail presented by the VR overlays, it was several seconds before Kestrel realized that a truck was quietly rolling into the loading dock of East Wing. The fairly large container truck was entirely painted matte black and had no lights running, if not for the radar on the drones Kestrel knew he would never have picked it up due to the abnormally large amount of volcanic ash floating in the already cloudy sky. As soon as the container edge was against the loading bay, the doors swung open and several figures emerged, all of them obviously armed from the various shapes that could be made out in the half light of the fitfully blinking security light. Just as quickly, they disappeared into the building as one of them fumbled with the maglock and then opened the secure door leading into the facility.

Kestrel

Kestrel looking thru the eyes of his bats and hawk, sees a large black covered wagon being pulled by 2 black stallions, heading into the meadow. Black wagon pulls into the meadow, stops and Winchester rifle and Colt Peacemaker armed cowboys start getting out and moving into the meadow.

Fair enough you have a good point there, guess Ill have to go back and edit the post on Lock and nicks part . No worries man.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm going to do a little checking on the route between Griggs and the drop off point. (Gazetteer, road works etc)
I'll also go play a game of chess with Raz Al (if he's free) and chat with him about Griggs

Data search: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2895839/
Ettiquette with Raz Al, a mere 10 successes: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2895842/

I will do an IC post with the results of the search and etiquette

Edit: I reread the rules on hacking, realised I was optimisitic on my uber hacking of lots of cameras, so I have removed it

As mentioned before, there's a number of things my character wants to do with his little free time in between runs. I've posted two actions that require replies from NPCs and I'm waiting for an IC follow-up before posting more.

@onlyghostdanceswhiledrunk
Since Kestrel was not jumped into the drones, he would not be able to attempt to view and enhance the video, ie the Drones were in command chair mode. With the minus sensors have to detect non vehicles/drones, detecting the beings entering is real good roll/sensors or both. The vehicle "should" have been easier but I feel it was not, it was built to not be detected.

Post later tonight.

*sights* I get me IC post, copy it to clipboard,,then Dumpshock goes down. Will post my IC tonight when I get home.

@onlyghostdanceswhiledrunk
Since Lock and Nick's timestamps are being adjusted and the post is being edited can you please clarify when we should be posting at this point. I still haven't gotten my first one in because I don't know if you are assuming control at this point.

sorry just got back from class. Bit of clerical work here:

@gortrek, you are now your own poster but you need to work with apertur to keep the story moving, just dont go past the barrier I already gave everyone a bit earlier in this thread time wise. Make sure to include messages you should have recieved in your posting too if you go to certain points in time.

@wearz, yeah thats how I saw it too, you are not currently able to access cameras that far out (since they are on the east wing and you guys are somewhat in the southern wing (roughly), however your secure movers you moved over to sector b might be able to get a glimpse of them.

@gobogen, yes I realize that, should have the post up for that tonight, or you can if you wish, both of them are available to work for you tonight if you want, you needed to bribe V with alot of really expensive liquour *you can spend about 500-1k nuyen on this if you wish, as you seem to be flush with cash and he REALLY didnt want to go out in the forecasted rain tonight. This would be a chance for me to hear how your contacts talk in your mind so I get a feel for them.

@seth: darn, was hoping you wouldnt go back and read those rules lol, it was going to be funny. You have found that, thankfully, the roads along the stretch you plan to take (the 90 - 405 - 5, 509 onto Marine View drive (the dockyard is roughly at 400 marine view drive) have just been resurfaced and go-ganger activity is at an all time low due to increased Star protection (because of the image problems from the elections)).
Raz is available in fact for an early dinner and only knows about it by name, you can apparently get some highly...interesting items at the market. Use your creativity but nothing gamebreaking (when in doubt, ask) as to what is there, simply because at Griggs the sky really is the limit.

@onlyghostdanceswhiledrunk
Ok, I just want to check something with you before I post. What I want with Gregory is to hire him for the whole evening, for say 200 nuyen? I want him to drive me to Grigg's and wait for instructions nearby. Then follow up from a distance towards our destination, and pick me up from there and bring me back, at the end of the night. We'd stay in touch over by comm and I wouldn't give him destinations until he needs to know. Would he agree to doing that? I just need to know before I post if I have to make up their replies for them.

call it 800 plus hazard pay if he has to save your hoop. He knows your reputation.

Who is waiting for stuff? I should have everyone hooked up with what they need to know. If you have questions please ask, either myself or the team (*if doing course of action stuff).

Yeah, good question... I don't know what to do right now. There doesn't seem to be anything useful to do in the Matrix as far as I can see, so I guess Scarlet will just watch the other intruders and figure out whether she can forward the signal of some of the security cameras (those that are between them and the new intruders and not on the route they need to take to get out) to be able to access them from her AR, so she will see if something happens in their sector.

I have absolutely no idea how far we are with leaving the building, where we have to go, or what needs to be done still.

Bye
Thanee

I'm all set: waiting at Grigg's. Let me know if there is anything I need to do

@onlyghost

I'd need to know the result of the Heal spell cast on Matthias.

I assume 600 nuyen would make sense for the two bottles bought.

Finally, I'm at Grigg's, waiting for a description and meeting the rest of team, when the timing will be right.

@thanee thats between you and the rest of the guys, if you need a sitrep since you areally only waiting for the painting you should ask lock or nick how they are coming. Then its up to them to respond etc.

@gortrek if she sends you a message or if you want to give ppl a sit rep we are basically waiting on you and lock.

@gobogen: Grigg's is actually a very upscale looking villa, 3 stories at its highest peak, with terraced gardens (and conveniently high 25 foot hedges enclosing the sides of the property and the entirety of the beach except the very long private jetty about 150 yards from the house). The front is a 12 foot wall with cameras and a secure gate in the driveway (think the types in DC that lift up to prevent ramming by vehicles). No real signs of lethal security but a professional like you means that they are all the more likely. You cant see into the compound.

I will let you know when its ok to meet the gang, we need to get them up in the storyline a bit .

600 is fine and well written on the post there.

I edited the end of my post to take the description into account.. I had not clue. I also made the adjustment to his nuyen balance for the liquor.

I'll just be waiting for the story to catch up to my character for a bit.

Edit: Oh and what about the magical healing? Did it help?

yes 3 boxes though rp wise you are still really really stiff.

*yawn*

So I can conclude that this game is dead?

Well... it doesn't look too healthy right now...

Bye
Thanee

I guess its goodbye. Shame it started quite well.

Cya all in another game I suppose

I am still here.
