The stuff the other girl, Yasmine, mentioned sounded very much like some uncontrolled magic to me.

"Christine said she could see through her mask and she managed to get up despite the restraints and through the window."

Actually, that was just the thermo sight of a dwarf.

The girl is very much unawakened.

Alright. Could have been, though. To me it sounded like she might have had some flashes of astral perception and spontaneous levitation or something like that.

Does the crystal spine bear any resemblance to the blood crystals...?

Pretty much exactly blood crystals

So, how much is on the credsticks again?

Bye
Thanee

25k - if you bring the gear of the cultists with you, otherwise 22,5k

What kind of equipment do they sport?

Sure, there is no reason not to.

Bye
Thanee

Jack while updating my char sheet -can you remind me what was the reward of the previous run?

That was 25k as well. And we got 5k for getting to the meet, initially.

Bye
Thanee

so 55k in total by now?

I'm not sure whether I remember this correctly: Do they have bath and sleeping rooms in the hut? Or do we sleep in Prague? What are the rooms like?

The hut has seats that recline as well as a small bathroom - so about the comfort of a private jet

Hey Jack, I was going to reach out to Mr. Ironside and Jimmy V if the could help with intel. It occured to me I have never used a Friends in High Places contact, while I assume I have his number, can I just call him up like a regular contact?

Yes, you can

Weren't those monocycles rented? I assumed, that we gave them back before departing and do not have them, anymore. Might be wrong, of course.

Thanee

Bought - and we took them with us.

Alright.

Take a look at the website for the concert halls https://www.rudolfinum.cz/en/about-the-rudolfinum/
and the gallery: https://www.galerierudolfinum.cz/en/about-gallery/history/
Floorplan of the gallery: https://pyrophilios.files.wordpress.com/202...0-05_212438.png

And yes, the monowheels are with you - only kind of vehicles that can easily travel with you.

Are any devices slaved to the deck?

Nope, not with a DR 1 device

@Volker: Is there any reason to think that the boy has anything to do with the runners and is not just there doing mischief or whatnot on his own?

Bye
Thanee

He's definitely part of a team. Why else would he mess with a door he has no access to. Nothing says, however, that those three are in league with him

I honestly don't see why that is a reason he is part of some team.

But better safe than sorry, I guess. So, let's assume he is for the time being.

Bye
Thanee

Why else would he manipulate the door?

Because he's a hacker kid and just messing with stuff?

Bye
Thanee

Not likely. Not only did he attack a door, he also cracked a detailed map of the gallery

We'll probably find out at some point.

Bye
Thanee

Who is waiting for whom?

Well, I'm mainly waiting on what you all intend to do with the retreating team and/or the decker

I really don't know. We have no real reason to do anything about them at the moment We probably want to keep tabs on them somehow, but only bnc can really do anything about that, I guess.

Bye
Thanee

bnc is the only one who's not on site. Her physical body is in the hut, the FlySpy is on the way and James is with the hacker (or on his way there). Except maybe for Taurus, everyone is in a better position to follow them than she is. Well, I guess, she could follow the icons.

I am waiting for your input on the hacked door - Anna is not going to introduce herself or try to stop the mercenaries.

mine? I only know which door he targeted, and that I forwarded to the team. Or do you mean Jack's input about what Anna sees there?

Yes, bnc sent Anna to check the locked door, she left. If the runners leave she would not even be there to stop them if she wanted. (and considering the mage is a chain breaker- she likely would be hostile toward Anna anyhow).

The door looks exactly like a locked emergency exit - there is nothing to see unless you take the time to look at it in the matrix.

I was thinking Taurus was going to introduce himself, but when the contact came back with hazy IDs I think he would end up following the group to the door.

Can I somehow find out what the kid did with the door's boot sector? If so, I'd love to

Yes, you can examine the door lock with a matrix perception roll threshold 3

BTW, did we get enough rest to recover a point of Edge on the way to Prague?

Bye
Thanee

If you slept and ate, yes

hooray!!

I suppose!

Bye
Thanee

Okay, I am rolling with this because it is kinda funny, but I was specifically approaching the others, not the dwarf, I guess that got mixed up.

I used google translate, so I know what was said, but Taurus doesn't speak Czech. Can I assume that some got through the Russian to read the scene or am I just going to stand there looking lost again?

Yes, you can assume that your language soft gave you the gist of what she said.
As for who you spoke to, the dwarf was the last to leave, and the only one you had a somewhat positive ID from the photo. So I assumed she was your target. If you specified the orc/elf pair I have missed that, sorry.

np, yeah they were the ones I was approaching. Are they in sight, or did they split up?

They didn't leave as a group: The ork/elf left first, being closer to the exit, the dwarf left at the same time, but had to cover a greater distance (and was naturally slower). Right now the couple is about 50m further out than the dwarf down the street. They could at any moment chose to step into a side street or get into a car.

Is the FlySpy already close enough to shadow any of them?

The ork and elf are gone, but the dwarf might still be trackable - INT+Tracking (Urban) test from bnc
