I've 4-5 BP available for the bigger boat if we decide we want it. I think including rating 10 ECM would be nice. The electronic warfare specialist on the boat could probably put it to good use.
It is unclear to me whether method intended for us to buy the B&V boat he offered us or if it was a gift to the team. Knowing whether we have to scrounge up 40 BP between us for the thing would be nice.
Also, finally done.

Black Jack - C2/L2
A gregarious pirate who who runs up and down the Western seaboard of the United States smuggling, pirating, fighting and drinking as he pleases. Black Jack specializes in knowing someone in every port avaialble. Whether or not he's on good terms with his associates there is up in the air. His vessel, the peregrine, is decked out with an impressive antenna and a ramming spike. He and his crew use electronic warfare to ambush their prey. Guy has found some employment manning and uprgrading the sensor tower, though he feels some guilt about the blatant thievery and murder that he's helping to commit. The two exchange favors and introductions freely, each acting as a business network for the other. In addition, the two have contracted each other's services in the past. Black Jack is almost invariably aboard his ship which is available by satellite uplink most of the time.
Big Dog - C3/L2
A friendly Amerind troll who works as a part time fixer in Seattle. Big Dog has an exceptional knack for setting up safe meetings/deals/exchanges/safehouses and dropoff points and also has a striking memory for names and favorite drinks. He's rapidly risen the rungs of Seattle's shadow ladder and set up shop as one of the premier dealers in smuggled goods and smugglers in the city. Guy's unique technical knowledge has proved useful analyzing a few packages that fell off boats and the troll hit it off with the hacker. The two retain a fairly standard cash for services relationship. Big Dog always has a hacker watching a node that he very carefully maintains for business purposes and the troll is comfortable with some degree of electronic communication, though he prefers face to face meets. If meeting in Seattle, he likes dragging potential clients out into the sticks of Puyallup to guarantee that they're firmly on his turf.
Fitz - C2/L1
A dealer in electronics based out of LA, this neurotic ork embodies every stereotype of the nerd imaginable from the large glasses to the rail-thin frame to the pasty skin. The rumor mill suggests that he's alternately a burned out runner mage or a badass street sam who got crossed by one too many corporations. Whatever the truth is, he now buys and sells electronics of all types from his basement apartment. He's too little of a threat and keeps small enough stock on hand to be robbed or killed. He does have an encyclopedic knowledge of his product and a knack for moving odd requests into or out of the market on short notice (though he charges stiff fees in this case.) The custom commlink and many of the sensors that Guy sports came from this dealer and he retains a status as preferred customer because of his frequent business.
Backstory
--------------------
Guy was born as Doug Sargas to a opulent, middle-class family in Southern California. He had a largely healthy and sucessful childhood in spite of being an only child and was reasonably educated at a number of excellent facilities. He retains fond memories of his Youth, carefree time spent on beaches, surfing and exploring the hidden treasures of the ocean. He headed to college at the still-standing CFSD.
There he discovered a passion for history, art, mathematics, computers and most importantly, for Emily Raven, an Amerind exchange student. The two were as star-crossed and star-struck as couples come and married as soon as they had degrees in hand.
The couple moved back to LA to accomodate Emily's job at Horizon. Doug took up a software job at a startup which did some clever work with matrix security and wireless communications. The company paid for much of Doug's cyberware and computer equipment. It was a happy five years.
The crash of 2064 was bad. Doug's father suffered an unexpected heart attack in the week prior. Doug was with his grieving mother when his wife and child died in a hit-and-run car accident. The crash left him stranded at an airport halfway between the two parts of his family as the world tore itself apart when the matrix crashed. Both mother and wife were missing by the time he was mobile again.
He tried going back to work, but financial backing was somewhat lacking and most of the software the company had developed was gone. As a professional engineer with wireless experience, Doug was a hot commodity especially to NeoNet and recruiters were hot on his heels. However, Doug had a vague mistrust of corporations, suspecting Horizon was somehow responsible for the death of his wife, and more importantly Doug needed to get away from everything.
He went to the sea and looked for work. He immediately stumbled across Joseph Carter who was in the process of gearing up for a salvage operation and was in deperate need of someone to keep his network secure. Doug fit the bill. After just a few more salvage operations, some with Carter and some with others, Doug changed his name - legally - to Guy Freebird in an attempt to shed association with his former life.
He has worked for many salvage operators and even some land based companies in the years he's spent in the shadows. His long history with Carter has led to continuing employment and a friendly relationship. Guy's also developed something of a niche role as an underwater signals integrity and analysis guru. For folks who need complicated electronics underwater, he's the man to go to. Needless to say, the territory of treasure hunting has taught Guy how to take care of himself.
He's been living a wild reincarnation of his youth ever since, looking for the big score that will let him make sense of his life. He hasn't found it yet and he gets a little older and a little slower every day. It's an open question whether his career will catch up to him before he finds peace.
