*very badly done Japanese accent*

Ah, velly solly! ::bow::

Apologies, I forgot to unclick the boxes, it was such a quick post, PLEASE DON'T BUTCHER ME!!!!! smile.gif
Dashifen
That's okay ... we'll butcher you after the run devil.gif

Doah! Forgot to post my character description.

Vertigo is a young beautiful hispanic woman, human of slight but athletic build, and shorter than average. She has brown eyes and skin, which would probably be darker if she lived anywhere but Seattle. Her jet black hair is cut to about shoulder length. She dresses in the latest fasions, usually wearing black and has a penchant for silver jewlery. Currently she is wearing a stylish black top, jeans and functional but stylish black boots under a grey and black motercycle jacket. Careful observers may note a silver chain around her neck with an antique silver broach.
Ninja Please
If i don't get a chance to post again tonight, I'm definately in.

Also, is there anyway to delete double posts?

Have a great weekend everyone.
Raiko
@Dashifen

Mirage is mundane, and heavily cybered (Essence 1 and a bit).

Raiko
Double post. nyahnyah.gif
Shadow
I caught the flu again. So I am going to be absent for a few days. Oh the joys of having a child.
Method
Jesus loves the little fomites....

See you soon. biggrin.gif
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
We need to get Shadow some DocWagon. smile.gif
Shadow
Ok I am back. Everyone who has posted is in, ifyou havent posted your not. Can I get a roll call in OOC so I know who is in?

You have 4 hours game time to do whatever. It isn't much, barely enough time to go home and pack.
Bearclaw
Wishbone is in.
Can't pass up 50K
Dashifen
I've got nothing really in that time other than to return home and pack, thus, I'll just declare that without posting IC.
Method
I'm in as well. Is there a limit to the amount of gear we can bring?

Just what you can carry.
Raiko

Ninja Please
yeah, i'm in too...
Ninja Please
How heavy do you think we should go in?
Dashifen
Casting catalouge while touching one of the cargo containers. Hoping to get a sense of what's inside:

Force 4 (Drain 3M)
Spellcasting (w/ three from spell pool): 10 07 04 03 03 02 02 02 01 (2 successes)
Drain Resistence: 10 05 03 02 02 01 (3 successes).

Should I ignore the stun damage, assuming that a ride in an airplane counts as rest?
Shadow
Yeah its a 18 hour flight from Seattle to Guam with a mid air refuel required, so you have some time smile.gif

The contents of the package is food, supplies, medicine, and small arms.
Dashifen
Shadow, I realized something else. You're totally within your rights to tell me (us) no on this one, but one thing I noticed we neglected to ask the Johnson for was any form of storage media to bring the data back to them. They said that the core was bulky but potentially man portable but a copy of the data and the destruction of the core would be acceptable. Along with the codes for the computer and the maps of the facility that the Johnson was providing us, could he have provided us with some form of large storage media in case we need to go with option B?
Shadow
He hasn't given you the maps yet. I was going to have him give you a ipodish device to store everything on.
Shadow
Sorry for the big delay. I hurt my back and it put me out for a bit. Were on now!
Whizbang
Good to hear. And I am still here, still waiting on my time to join the party...
Dashifen
Damn, I've forgotten again and a skim of this thread and IC didn't help too much. Who are the spellslingers? Myself, and IIRC Wishbone. Any others?

Also, Shadow: do I have LOS for the pilot? I'd like to Assense him and get an understanding for how he's feeling. That'll help Gin know how bad the situation is.
Shadow
You don't, the pilot and Co have been sealed in a compartment since before you came on board. You can always go astral and take a look at them if you want.
Dashifen
How high are we? IIRC, from Target: Wastelands, the altitude of the plane can bring about bad news for projected magicians.

A quick astral glance at Vertigo would tell you she has some limited spell casting abilities.

You need to go up about 70 miles or so (like in a semi-ballistic flight) for bad stuff to start happening. Prop planes and sub-orbitals don't go high enough to cause problems.

Of course, you still might have to find your body again afterwards. wink.gif
Shadow
Your traveling at about 30,000 feet. Roughly 6ish miles up.
Fortune
Sorry for budding in. Failed my Willpower roll and couldn't help myself. embarrassed.gif wink.gif
Whizbang
Btw, Shadow, not using the Gmail messenger anymore? Been awhile since last time I saw you on.
Shadow
Np, you usually know what you are talking about...
Bearclaw
Are we waiting for something?
Method
For some reason it seems I havn't been getting email notices when these threads are updated...

Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
I check by every day, but there doesn't seem much else for Tiptoes to do.
Raiko
I'm still here, just waiting for things to start moving again.

I'm not sure that Mirage would know to suggest this IC, but I think it might be a good idea for an awakened team member to call up a Spirit of the Sky with guard powers.

At the very least it would let everybody relax again, till we're past the storm.

If Mirage has to die, I'd rather it was in a blaze of glory than a plane crash. nyahnyah.gif
Dashifen
That's a good call, Raiko. If you'll allow it, Shadow:
Conjuring Force 4 Spirit of the Sky: 20 05 04 02 02 02 (+1 from totem)
Drain Resist 4M: 11 05 03 02 01 (+1 from totem)

I took a light drain wound for that one. For its first service, a guard on our plane wink.gif
Bearclaw
Good call. I should have thought of that frown.gif
Shadow
I do allow it smile.gif
Fortune
I'd have also spent the first few hours of the flight chucking up a Ward on the plane itself, or even just the passenger area if the whole plane wasn't possible, but that's just me. nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif
Dashifen
You know, in all my years of playing SR3, I never saw anyone make a ward and I completely forgot that anyone who could perceive could do that biggrin.gif
Whizbang
Yep...found that to be a rather useful ability. Particularly when my char's residence had the astral magnet flaw...
Shadow
Ok lets try and get the ball rolling, I know I have been posting light and I apologize.
Dashifen
Quickly announcing an absence from the Internet. I've gotten hit with some form of malware and until I get it off of my computer I'm not connecting at all. Thus, no dumpshock. I'm working with people online to cut into the popups, but it's nasty because it spread from computer to laptop to wife's laptop so I'm cutting down on the possibility of distribution. Sorry for the problems. I 'll catch up when I fix my technology problems.

Sorry for the two days of doldrums but this is the first time I've had a non-popup few minutes with a connection. And this is at work.

Stupid trojans. Stupid college campuses without security. Damn undergrads with "questionable web surfing practices."
Method
Am I the only one who isn't getting email notices when these threads are updated? frown.gif
Dashifen
Okay, after two weeks in the shop, my laptop is back biggrin.gif. I'll catch up on the IC thread probably tomorrow and get back to gaming. Sorry for my absence.
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
I've been sick, but I should be back now.
