Yes, it's a quantity thing. You have enough binding materials for four 'force points' worth of spirit. Which means you can do one 4, one 3 and one 1, or two force 2 spirits.

Bind the water spirit and one other for utility, the rest you can summon on the fly when were in the facility. No worries about the posting rate.

After breach...plan on launching all drones, Fly 1 and 2 first to get eyes up + scan for units

All comlinks and drones are loaded Firewall 6. Also, Grendel, my programs will only function at 4 until response/OS upgrade

WinterRat1: Roll me some conjuring for Mako please.

Sent to you via PM. Also, what gun/accessories/ammo did Cyrenne end up giving Mako?

Grendel –



F4 Air Spirit is on Movement duty for all of us

F6 Water Spirit is on Concealment duty for all of us; I want it enabling us to see one another

Mako is perceiving astrally since it’s probably better than his other options, even with vision enhancers. The only way he won’t is if you rule there’s too much ‘life’ (in the form of bacteria, algae, etc) in the ocean blocking his vision to make it useful.

Counterspelling is declared for all party members.

I’ll try to get an IC post up later, and there’s a good chance I’ll consider casting a spell or two and Sustaining it.

Actually, astral perception is pretty much the only effective means of vision unless you turn on a light. Right now astral perception is at a -3 modifier, low-light and thermographic are at -6, ultrasound at -5. With a light on, low-light jumps to -3 as well.

Scanning for networks:

1: 1
2: 2
3: 3

Perceiving looking for Bio drone:

1: 2
2: 3
3: 4

UHF/VHF transmissions don't carry well underwater, you're only going to see 1/2 to 1/3 the normal ranges. That being said, the bio-drone can't wander far from its host ship because it'll lose its link. So you're safe for the time being from direct attack.

What time is sunrise?

Cali in October, I would gess around 6:30 - 7

Sunrise is 0658. And my mistake, the moon has already set. I'll go back and edit that part. I knew I should have paid more attention in Cel Nav class.

Everyone - Crunch time is now here at work, from now until Apr. 15 my availability is highly up in the air, depending on what my workload is on any given day. I will still do my best to stay current, but be advised I'll be slower until I get out from under tax season.

Everyone
Sorry for not posting in a while. I was OCONUS for the last week and am swamp at work and home. Should be up and full tilt after Sunday.

I'm going to need perception tests from everyone, please.

Grendel -

Grendel

Grendel - My roll did NOT include any relevant modifiers, since I didn't know what they were, and needless to say, they were not in order either.

Grendel,

3 hits on a perception check looking for a way in without having to cut.

Grendel - Can we assume Mako started/completed crossing or do you need an IC post and/or any rolls from me?

It'd be nice to have an IC post for Mako's crossing. It just wouldn't do to assume he made it safely.

OK I'll try to get something up ASAP to keep it moving then.

Also, I should have been more specific. Only Tron and Mako see the additional illumination because it's on the astral plane. However, Errand can roll strength to see if he can pry the elevator doors open.

My post's time was synced with when Mako was signalled to cross, not the order of posts. I've just been really busy and haven't been able to get a post up, but Mako wouldn't have been sitting there for minutes after he was signalled to cross.

Strength 8

Hits: 1 Rolls: 3 3 4 5 1 1 2 2

Heh. You could have bought more hits than that.

Switching from Astral, and looking around the elevator shaft.


Perception hits w/no modifiers: 5 hits

Prep drones for release

I know! I didn't think you would let me though considering the seriousness of the situation.

If there is not enough light he will sitch on the low light flash light on the end of the rifle.

Percieving in detail
Perception: 6
In Detail: +3
Hits: 4 Rolls: 4 3 3 3 2 5 5 5 6

Well I wouldn't let you do it after the fact, but there's no reason why you couldn't have done it earlier. I don't discriminate against the 4 dice = 1 hit rule.

Switching back to astral to look at the moss stuff. Looking to see if it is awakened.

Hits: 5

Scanning for Networks: 3 times=2, 4, 3 hits

The moss is alive but is not dual-natured. There are no networks within signal range of you.

Keeping in mind that you guys are treading water in an elevator shaft that's pretty featureless and that the water is at least ten meters deep here and that none of your gear floats...how are you breaking out the drones to launch them and where are you going to stash your dive tanks and regulator?

Clipping to the ladder using d-ring. If I successfully launch drones, going to have them scout up looking at the shaft and ladder to see if we can get all the way up.

This is why I brought the oxcygils, I am letting the tanks and regulators fall to the bottom. I'll turn em off so air isn't comeing out. If we come out this way they will be waiting for us, if not we have the back up gills, 2 for each of us.

Copy all. The elevator shaft reaches all the way to the top floor of the building, and the drones will report that it is structurally intact for the most part. The ladder is bolted securely to the wall and you can use it to reach whatever floor you desire. The elevator shaft doors, though, are locked closed. To open them, you have to cut through the locking drives on one or both sides of the door, a three minute job per side.

Scanning for networks (3x) = 2,1,2

Is it ok to IC going to the 27th floor?

Yes. Roll me some perception.

Tron = 5 hts
Fly Spy 1= 2 hts
Fly Spy 2= 1 hit

Perception (6)

Hits 3 Rolls: 2 2 1 5 5 6

Vision mods:
Low light and Thermal

Perception, no mods included in roll: 2 3 4 4 4 6 = 1 hit

Grr...these low perception rolls are starting to become a habit for Mako...

Scanning for network: 3 hits, 1 hit, 2 hits

Infiltrating down the hall: 2 hits

Sorry for holding things up guys, springtime bring with it my anual migrains. Things should be clear from hear on out.

I think we're waiting on a post from you, WinterRat1.

Searching the room for the package.

Perception: 3 hits, 2 hits, 7 hits

Searching prototype room for package:

4 hits

Before entering the water, recalling drones and stowing them for undersea transport.

Hey I feel a little restricted by what i can post, it may be self imposed though. When were out of the action like this can we be a little more encompassing with posts? or example, moving us back to the base, or conversations with npc's (assuming it stays within what we think the npc would say).
