D-Trip didn't mind the story to start with. It wasn't simsense, and it definitely wasn't a BTL trip in the making. However D-Trip did enjoy it a little, it was just wasn't the sort of entertainment he was used to.
But when Mr. White changed into the little old lady that was in the story, things picked up a bit. Taking D-Trip by suprise, he jumps in his seat a little, and looks wide eyed to the others listening fior reassurance. Though as the story wears on he finds himself enjoying it immensely.
It really did the trick for D-Trip, it took his mind off of everthing. And when Mr. White stops laughing he hurridly tells him, 'That was....i have no words, i've never actually been told a story before. Who told you that story, do you know any more'? And he quitly asks if was good to be called 'Big Holow Horn'.D-trip continues to ask questions about the stories and the characters for the rest of the trip, he was entertained and happy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glad to be back on soil again, D-trip wondered how he could make himself useful. Leaving the questions to everyone else, he waits on Chauncey for a while, assisting where he can in preparing vehicles for the race. But he doesn't like getting himself dirty and he gets bored with it after awhile.
He heads outside after that trying to find where other racers are relaxing, or any officials he can talk to. While attempting to find out the names of some of the racers and rulemakers, he will direct conversations towards the location of the races' map. Or if failing that, the names of the officials that decide the races' course.

Ghost followed everyone into the camp and inside the building.
Turning to Grevin after the other questions were asked. "Ah Mr Grevin, I do have a few questions, pertaining to this trial..."
"Trained Professionals? Trained at what exactly. While I understand the shall we say nature of this race, and a number of people may have some training in firearms of some sort, I would still believe that most here have not fired a firearm in a true combat situation. How would and arena even and ones skill with a firearm and sneak tactics prove who's a more worthy driver to participate."
Ghost paused waiting for an answer.
"Will we be required to furnish our own firearms/ammo for this event or will they be supplying such?"
"We're going to be needing some parts, I trust you can supply us with what we need or contact someone that does."

"Well to start there are two parts to this stealth mission, first is a combat situation then is a driving situation the teams with the top combined scores from both events will move on. As for the professionals it will be onyl 2 or 3 trained men against each team which should even the odds and if your good the arena is so large you may not even run into each other at all."
"Firearms of any type will be provided."
"Parts arnt a problem ill have you hook up with my friend Jason Cochov, a supplier for the race."
"One last thing... this isnt a normal "race" so to speak. Thorughout this race there will be objectives and in those objectives you may not even use a vehicle of any kind for MANY days. There will be caves to explore, buildings to infiltrate and all the skills of your party will be used. That is why you are so diverese. Also ive been hearing a rumor that for the first time the race may acualy have a Astral challenge worth a signiigantly higher point because its bran new. But thats just speculation and no onw knows for sure whats going to happne yet."
With a Grin he leads you to where all kinds of teams have set up small tents to display sponsers logo materials ect. Also alot of photographs are being taken and Journalists seem to flock from place to place trying to get interviews witht he top ranked teams for the years event.
| QUOTE (Shaudes29) |
| Mr. White "When will we know what time the qualification contest will be? If there is any way I woudl prefer if the contest took place after supper. Also will the other teams be allowed to watch the events? What will the sponsers of teh race be doing to control and prevent cheatting? What are the Offical rules? What are the unspoken un-offical rules?" |
"The time will be determended randomly the day of the event."
"there will be full LIVE broadcasting and a dozen judges and referees watching to make sure that everything is fair. As for Rules each challenge is different and therefore the rules for each are diferent but are STRICKLY enforced. Any team caught cheating will be FINED 1 million Nuyen as well as being banned for LIFE from the Federation and will basicly be disowned by every corp int eh world. As for corp cheating they keep each other in check pretty well accualythey all obviously have servailence on each other and watch each other like hawks for just one mess up so that they can turn the other into the Federation and get that Corp banned which decreases advertising tremensly. This is a very large event held in high respect so you really have no need to fear cheating."
You fidn out that Big holow Horns was teh cief of teh tribe, teh old laddy was teh great White buffalow spirit and Mr, whiet learned all his stories by sittign around a fire lissenign to the elders of teh tribe tell there stories. You fidn out he also had some formal training in tehy mythology of his tribe.

"Rummors of an astral even... hummm. That coud be Vearry dangerous. Looking at the group, I hope if there is one I can get some backup from them" looks in Doc's and the congerers direction.

Deaux is silent for much of the plane ride, just taking the occasional sip from his flask, and spending the rest of the time napping. Maybe he can get an occasional taste of the hardstuff even when he's sleeping. Regardless, he misses the stroy.
------
Deaux follows Gervin into the building. It would seem good to take a drink while outside, but Deaux seems to be able to show some restraint. He quietly listens, knowing this isn't going to be a walk in the park, but the astral portion does sound rather sexy.
Deaux looks around at all the corporate sponsors, journalist. If only this were a real shadowrun, he'd be able to convince himself he'd made it too the big leagues, re-live his bygone glory. Whatever.
Deaux poses for some reporters. Makes a few magical 'sparks' here and there to impress some glitteratti. Deaux seems very withdrawn through, maybe he's analyzing the situation.

Chauncy keeps his head down around the reporters. Very few of them looked down far enough to notice him anyway. With a sense of disapointment he realized that he had made incorrect assumptions about how the race would be run. He had pictured tearing down through the vast open spaces of Russia, the checkpoints they encountered every few days the only signs of cilvilization. It seemed that the actual race would be much more centralized, meaning that several of the proposed modifications to Big Dog were no longer nessesary. It left him feeling a bit dissapointed.
That changed a bit once he got out of the crowds, and started running into the various mechanics and support crews. This was his element. He couldn't help but smile in anticipation, just a little, when the rest of his team's vehicles were rolled out. Plain Jane, unmodified, just waiting for someone to crack them open and build them up. He started asking around for suppliers, looking at what he could get his hands on.

"Yeah looks like thier going all out this year.... Nearly every major country is involved with some aspect of the race.... problem is they only give you a piece of the map at each check point so you cant skip anything... But for a little "help" i might be able to get you that first piece if you know what i mean chummer."
He sits back sipping his drink and waiting for your reply.

"Null perspiration Mano, always like to 'help' out those who help others out'. D-Trip knew he was onto a good thing. He'd spent quite a bit of time with the 'corp type' gentleman, and was glad it was leading some where. Over the past few days he had to drink quite a bit of liqueur, most people wouldn't speak to him unless he had a drink in his hand.
"Let me know how i can help you my friend, if the price is right we have deal. Wether it be Cred, or a suitable task you need assistance with, i believe we can both walk away with smiles'.

One early morning 3:00 am the sound of fighting come sform the rec. room. It's only Mr. White whatching an old 20th cen moovie called around teh would in 8o days. Staring a star called jakie chan.
"wo wo woo. that was funney" Mr. white coments as he gets ingosed in the show
"wo wo woo. that was funney" Mr. white coments as he gets ingosed in the show
"yes well i do happen to ahve one thing i need done" his face brightens a little. " See i work for a corp and well if they ever found out i was doing anythign illegal they would fire me." He sadens visibly.
" My son is very sick and ive heard of a drug called Fires End which is sold by a few individuals at Kazar's Palace... a place just 20 minutes away on the otherside of town. If you could pick me up some of this drug i would gladly trade you what i can find anythign about the race. I mean i would go myself but without a job my family would be worse off then without the drug." With that he gives a littel grin waiting for your response.

D-Trip
The expression on D-Trips face betrays no sympathy for the Sarariman and his son. "Do you know a name or an establishment i should visit to get Fires End? Do you know how much cred i'll need to make the purchase?" Once he finds out those details, D-Trip will head back to 'Team Razors' pavilion.
As he walked back D-Trip wondered if 'Cassey' might be unimpressed at the thought of cheating, as he waved away some photographers. Whatever! If the team was going to make good use of a section of map, everyone would need to know about it. But who should he tell first.
Walking into one of the teams common areas, D-Trip decided he should tell as many people as teammates as possible. "Guess what chummers; i was just talking to a depressed Mr. J, if we got get something for him we could have some info well in advance of the other teams." D-Trip explains the details of obtaining Fires End, and then says, "I need someone to come with me, who wants to get out for a bit?"

"You sure this guy wasn't just placed to ferret out the cheaters?" Tray asked, not liking this. Even if he was a shadowrunner...he still prefered to work within the rules whenever possible.
Chauncy ponders that the thought that the offer of help could be a trick. "That's what survelliance drones are for. And clarify that 'whatever he can find out' stays just on the right side of the rules and we should be fine. With some of the talk I've heard around the garages, a lot of people are playing a little fast and loose with the rules. You just have to walk a fine line so that there's plausible deniability if you get caught."
D-Trip
Glancing occasionally at Cassey while he talks D-trip, looks for any indication of what she might think of cheating. "I guess there is only one more chance to find out if this J is on the level, and thats when we arrange the exchange of drugs for data." D-Trip pulls a face as he attempts to think of a way to cover their hoops.
"The only point where we can get into the drek is the exchange, nothing can be pinned onto us before hand, am i right? So, if it all frags up at the meet we need a few trump cards", D-Trips gets his finger out and starts waving it at no-one inparticular.
"If someone can disguise themselves for the meet, we can just say it wasn't us if things get sour. I don't know how plausible that deniability is?" He looks at that point to Chauncey for reassurance.
"If we have someone watching the person doing the meet, we'll have enough time to slot and run if the heat gets turned up, then we won't have to explain a thing."

The man explained the "medicine" costs about 1000 
a bottle of 20 pills. he will provide the 1k if you choose to go. He personaly doesnt know any of the dealers that well so he cannot say who you will need to find there, but he assumes it wont be very hard because that is a very broken down area where most of hte local drug dealers hang out.

"I can provide a magical disguise like i used on the plane trip, on my self, or another person. If i asist with it, it would be best if the exchange took place after dark, when I can provide the best support"

Ghost ponders for a moment. "I could do the transaction, and the pickup if need be."
Ghost closes her eyes mouthing some words to herself then looks up at you, "My name if Vladamir Vostock, I believe your lookin for some Fires End", in a thick male russian accent.
Half satisfied ghost nods to herself, returning to her normal sweet voice, "I'll just need to find some clothes, but I think we need to find out about this place first and what sort of location it is."
"One does have to wonder though, if his sons so sick, why would what appears to be an illegal recreational drug be of any use. Surely it would be avalible. Unless its avalible at a huge cost and has some nice side effects which would be why its floating around."

Chauncy shrugs as D-trip gives him the rundown of what their 'Johnson' had to say. "Sounds like a rough place. I'll send Overwatch on a flyby and see what's what. I'll be in Big Dog if you need me for anything." He gets up, then remembers something. "I've got the sensors feeds running through a video screen in the van, if anyone else want's to see. If you bring popcorn, share"

D-Trip
D-Trip looks amazed as Ghost does her trick. And he listens to her in a daze untill she mentions that the team may just be scoring a hit for a hard up suit. Feeling he needs to defend the fact the drug is for a sick child D-Trips says, "Actually there has been a few 'medical drugs' out there being used to get off. Those old acid trips from almost a century back, were used to treat chromosome disfunctions."
Pushing himself out of his seat, D-Trip finds something in a packet to snack on, the mentio of popcorn made him so hungry! Already eating something when he goes to Big Dog to watch the show, he hangs outside the door giving other people room to sit, and avoiding be cramped.
He'll crane his neck to get a good look at the sensor feed and annoy the others by asking questions, "What was that? What was that, when you were looking at me?"
"Perhaps you and i should do the deed", talking to Ghost. "I mean, you can do the Russian, and Mr White can zzap me and himself for the pick up and the meet. We'll let you do the talking. Or are you going to tell me you work alone?"

Ghost turns to D-Trip, opening her mouth as if she was about to say something then closing it. Contemplating a moment she starts again.
"I don't know what rumours you've heard or believe about me, and for now I don't realy care. Why management decided to employ me to help you guys out I'm not 100% sure of the reasons, but given the nature of this race they probably wanted someone who can act independantly and on their own initative to solve problems that may not be 100% related to this race. I'm sure you are all perfectly capable of looking after yourselves and getting to the end of this race intact, I'm here to take care of those little hicups that might get in the way. "
Ghost paused a moment, "As for working alone, yes I normaly work alone, I've spent most of my life working alone. Half of my life I've hiding in the shadows avoiding the public world. There may be some people out there who would not be happy to discover I'm still around. "
"So why potentialy blow my cover especialy in such a public event, who can say. The money offer was good. And the insentive of a share of the winning prize I'll admit is most aluring. "
Ghost slumped a bit, her face reflecting old pains, "I'm tired of hiding and being alone. I also figured if things were gonna end at least I could spend some time facing a good old fashion challenge and hopefully in the company of some good people."
Reaserting herself she continued, "Back to the topic at hand, I have worked in teams and I do know the benifit of having a backup. Lets scope out the area first. Minor buying tends to be one on one and too many people might look a bit weird. But no harm in having a couple people floating around out of site to make sure all goes smoothly. I think the biggest problem is doing the switch with the Corp, the drugs will be easy to aquire, its giving them to him thats going to need discretion."
"I've got an idea, I'm sure in a place like this a gentleman seeking some entertainment would not be entirely out of place. Either I can do it or we can spend a bit of money and get one of the girls floating around to do it. If I do it, I'll need a couple Whitey modifactions." Ghost's face shows no indication of any personal feelings on these sort of matters.
"If you have any questions regarding any of the other stuff we can discuss it later, right now we have a job to do and ultimatly a race to win."

"Whel let me see what I can do" He gets thih thoutfull look on his face for a moment. He pulls a white feather out of a bag. It as a buch of deads and other nick naks on it, he does a weard twist with it infront of Ghost
Then Ghosts apearance changes into one of the racers from another team.
"So think that would work."

Not making any comments as Ghost explains the drek that has stuck to her in her life, he'll nod slowly closing his eyes at intervals to show he acquiesces to her circumctance. When she finishes, he attempts his sympathetic 'fatherly' smile.
At first D-Trip thought she was a little stuck up and up-tight, but after hearing her 'story', his manner towards her visiblly changes. Thinking that she must have no familiy or 'friends' and must be unused to companionship, he extends acceptance of her by using a 'familier' manner with Ghost.
When Mr. White changes Ghosts apperance, he holds his hands out as if the spell has re-solved the war between the classes. "Perfect", he says, "O.K, why don't you go it alone. But i'd like to be close by, incase in case things get a little sour".

Missing his usual brand of Electronica music. Those who wake early in the morning
find D-Trip adjusting a radio slightly out of range of a proper channel. When the radio is just right, he starts dancing to the static output of the speakers.

"Hmm, that might work, lets wait for the surveylance report. We can then head off and pickup the goods. Once thats done we can sort out the final details for the transfer to the Corp."
Befor Mr. White wonders off to sleep he joins D-Trip in some of the dancing. The two styles are completly difrent, but all that realy matters is the dance.

Surveilence comes back fromt he blind that was sent up. Fires End seems to be a small gutter area near the west side of the city before it turns into farmland and plains. There are many shacks and shantys strewn about and bums litter the area. Fromt he blimps reports you are able to tell little other then the geography of the land.
Ghost, takes on a scouting missions with whtiy near by. Dressed to fit the area and perfectly disguised as a russian women with Whities Phys mask she is able to walk the streets without incident. After several hours of walking the small area the late night begins to approach with still no sign of a drug dealer. She has walked from Fire Can to fire can, not asking questions directly but pocking at little things, As the night tears on she begins to believe that maybe it doesnt exist at all, when suddenly the other bums of the area get all excited and start chattering...
Several minutes of trying to find what they are talking about end up fruitless and just as Ghost begins to believe they are just crazy a dark figure elongated by the fires shadow turns a alley corner...
"Welcome to Fires End gentelman, and my lady." The large man, if you can call him that, stands at 7 feet tall and seems more a rusted cyborg then anythign respembling a man. His whole left side and entire head is chrome, slightly rusted with years of unkept metal. The way he moves though amkes you believe he is still very dangerous and hasnt slowed with his age or the implants that have aged with him.
"I hope you all brought a mighty appitite for i have just the thing to make you live again." Witht hat he turns and enters a building made of brick, it is very out of place around the shantys and huts and you honestly dont remember it being there when you walked up...

Ghost looked over the man. Nodding she followed him, with an easy walk, into the building, taking note of any exits.
Over coms to Whitey "Might want to take an astral look, I don't remember this building could be some illusion or such."

D-Trip
D-Trip appears unusally calm while Mr. White and Ghost are gone. In the few hours while they are away, he eats sitting down, and doesn't make much conversation. He looks lustly over Papa Deauxs' alcohol stash at one point, and then goes out for a walk.
He rushes back into the teams quaters soon after that, and seeks out Chauncey. "Hey! We can watch them with your drone can't we Chaunce?"

The room you are lead to seems to be larger then the building was when you were outside.... but more then that what catches your attention is a large alter of some sort in the middle of the room. The later has a Dagger and a Vial of sorts sitting on a cloth with a sign of a large demon across it.
The large man in the cloak goes to the later and begins chanting, a few of the otehrs begin to chant along and the room around you begins to unfold. The ground gives way though you do not fall and all around you there is a fire burning. Your sense of smell is assualted by waves of burnt flesh and you begin to gag, as do several other people in the room.
The cloaked figure changes sudenly removing his cloak to show the form of a large type of elemental kin. Fire burns from all over its body and its eyes scan the room locking onto a man standing next to you. The man suddenly stops cowering straitens and begins a slow walk to the alter.
"Here my children" a voice says echoing across the walls and assaulting your hearing, putiong you into a more confused state. "the sacrifice has been found!"
With that he grabs the man that has walked forward and plunges the dagger into his heart, letting his blood flow into the vial still on the alter. After this is full he pulls another one from the side and begins to fill vial after vial until there is engouh for everyone. All this while you are unable to move or speak as if something is holding you forcing you to watch this terror happen.
Then its over... You find yourself sitting in the middle of a barren road with no building and no one else to be seen.
Laying on the ground in front of you is a small vial, when touched it feels warm.

Mr. White
Looks around amazed and quite disquieted with what he has just whitnised. He has heard about blood magic but, never thought he would personally whiteness such a thing. The smell of blood fills his nose and he fill sick from the thought of it all. If it was possable for an albine to look liek he had seen a ghost he would be lookign like it at that moment.

Ghost knelt on the ground trying to form her thoughts. Letting her immediate feelings filter away she recomposed herself. She carefully picked up the vial and tucked it into a pocket.
"I think its time to leave, maybe one of the others can explain this. Not sure where exactly I am, don't think I'm too far from the original location."

Chauncy is still in the Big Dog, the video feed from Overwatch following Mr. White and Ghost as they move towards their destination. "Already on it D," he says, the goes back to what is apprently a conversation, the ear piece sized cell phone barely visible in his ear. "Yes, thank you, that will be fine. Goodbye."
He jacks into the dashboard and the view from the blimp starts to shift as he moves it into a better position. "Quiet. Seller hasn't shown yet."
A ripple of excitement washes through the tiny people on the screen. "Hold on, something's up. Just in case..." He alters his attention, and there is a whir from the drone rack as the hatch on the van's roof slides open, and the Stratos warms up, ready to launch.

Walking in shortly after Whitey, Ghost observed the asembled group. Taking the, red liquid fulled, vile from her pocket Ghost looked over to Whitey.
"This is more your realm than mine what the hell is this shit besides the obvious. I have no idea how this would cure anything, or even give you something that would remotely resembling a high unless you get off on weird shit. If anything this would make things worse, unless of course his sense of a cure is prehaps turning his Son into a vampire or some weird drek like that."
"I just hope to hell whatever he gives us is worth this."

While Ghost and Mr. White had gone to collect the Fire's End, Tray had stayed to watch, indeed bringing popcorn to share. However, there wasn't much to see. However, from the reactions of the others, apparently they had missed something. "What happened?" he asked.
"You don't want to know, you realy don't want to know. Lets see if we can figure out roughly what this stuff is then I'm going to pay a certain corp a visit and get the stuff."
Ghost slumps into the nearest chair, turning the vile back and forth take a good look.

Holding his hands up to Mr. White, D-Trip looks to him and Ghost. "Frag it! Have we been screwed by that suit?" He listens to the account of events by Mr. White, D-Trips starts to frown. When hes heard the diatribe, he kicks the closest chair as hard as he can.
Running a hand through his hair he says, "So re-negotiation probably won't satisfy you will it chummers? Shall we geek the little slot?" D-Trip paces back and forth. "Maybe the vial will end you torment? But i suppose it would only work for one of you!" Looking for another breakable peice of furniture, he stalks over to it and lays in another kick. "Son of low down peice of flotsam!" He makes sure that the chair is destroyed.

"No I don't think we've been screwed by the suit, but I suspect he had zero clue about the nature of fires end. If it turns out that he does know we'll deal with that then."
I think we should all head to bed now. We can take a look at the stuff "tomorrow and then in the evening I'll take it and go have a little chat with the suit. Its been a heavy night, its best we relax before we make some wrong desisions. "
"We've got some time before we need to get the info."
Handing her vial to Whitey, "You'r probably gonna be up most of the evening I guess. Keep an eye on them, maybe you can make something of these."
With that Ghost dumped herself into the nearest bunk after removing weapons and other bits and pieces.

Ghost bolts awake around 3 in the morning, sweat pouring off her despite the cold temperatures. Her breath heavy and laboured.
Sitting quietly for a couple minutes bringing her breath back to normal levels. Turnning to look over to Whitey. "Any luck with those vials".
Nodding at his negative responce she continued. "This is not a good sign. I never have nightmares, but I just dreamt I was back in that room, it was all so vivid and real."
"I don't think I'll get any more sleep tonight. I think we need to get these to that corp as soon as we get a chance. Tonight should be good. I'm sure he'll be at one of those parties that are always happening."
"I wonder how far the vehicles are coming along. We're running out of time."
Ghost got up off the bed and headed into the showers, returning a little while later. Grabing some hot coffee she offered some to Whitey.
"Its strange, despite everything, this is probably the most relaxed I've been in a long time. No worrying about who's around the next corner, where next paycheque coming from. "

Mr. White
Waves away the offer of coffie.
"No thanks Ghost ill be hiting the sack in 3, or 4 hours and dont want it to keep me up. I am fine with your sujestion, but shouldent D take care of it as he was the one that made the contact. I am no shure that the Jhon would finish the Biz other wise."

Chauncy called his drones back in and packed them back on the rack. When Tray came by, looking a little lost, Chauncy explained to him the whole run down on the Fire's End, about how D-Trip was approached by a Johnson who agreed to trade info on the race in exchange for picking up some 'special medicine' for his kid. "I don't think the 'Johnson' was out to screw us," he finished, "and that spectacle earlier explains why he wasn't able to get his hands on it himself. I think that D should have some back up when he goes to meet the Johnson. I can drive him there, and if things start going bad, I've got drones, and a turret mounted LMG to bolster our argument, but I think he should have someone go in with him too."
When everyone was gathered inside he brought up the topic of the upcoming combat competition. "My drones can give us a pretty good advantage. Since they're supplying us with weapons, I'll swap out there regular loads for gel rounds and neurostun grenades. Overwatch can keep an eye on who's moving around where, and if we can keep radio contact and I can keep you up to date on what's happening. I just need to find a good place to hole up, and I can also pull sniper duty."
As everyone heads off for bed, Chauncy starts picking up after D's mini rampage. Mess irritated him. Even so late at night, the city was still surprisingly noisy. When he finished straightening up, he returned to the Big Dog, putting down one of the bench seat and laying out his sleeping bag. It was absolutely dark in the back of the step van, and the armor kept out all exterior noises. The sensory deprivation eased his mind, and let him drift off to sleep for a couple hours.

Sitting in on Mr White's questioning of the hearth spirit, he suggested, "Perhaps investigating more into the fire elemental that gave you the vials might be more helpful? The hearth spirit might not know much about the contents of the vial, but perhaps a fire elemental might know more about the one who filled the vial."
