Here's a render of Flash making time with beautiful, young constituent at the Wet Whistle.

I haven't seen the new Runner's Companion yet, but there's some old Flaws I was thinking about taking. Specifically, I was thinking about "Hunted", or "enemy". Makes sense for a technomancer, especially with his back ground. Thoughts Alex (or anyone that has Runner's Comp).

I think that we could work with that one. RJ has RC (mine's on order but I won't get it until I'm back from Cali - love my dead tree books) so he might be a better source of info on rules. I'll try to check the thread tonight once I get checked into the hotel.

Alright, I think I've mostly got MITNick put together. Feel free to give him the once or twice over. If my ath is correct, I think I have 1 BP to spare. I'm building him with the "Left out to Dry" Flaw from SR3 in mind. He's got nobody, as he cut all ties, and is just now trying to reemerge as his new alias, getting jobs off the local shadow haven. So he purposefully has no contacts. This is building from the ground up essentially. Hopefully it'll work out, and I won't just be making things difficult. We'll see. I also left a bunch of cred unspent since I don't have hte books, and can't remember much of what he'll need, and I didn't have the prices on some basic stuff like an OS. I still need to put together his actual living persona, but I can do that when I have a bit more time.

Hung out to Dry is a 10bp negative quality.

If you need more help Fisty just PM or IM me.

Thanks RJ. I was also considering taking Mysterious Cyberware - DataLock, but I thought I'd run that one past Alx first. I dont' want to add any unneccessary complications.

@ fist

What are you thinking for the Mysterious Cyberware?

Also, take a read at the City Cafe info that I posted a little bit back for RJ. Let me know if you need/want something else.

@ SinN

I assumed that you arrived at the Cafe earlier in the afternoon. If you wanted to arrive around half an hour early, then I will need to edit. Please let me know.

Cranial Bomb! Cranial Bomb! Its worth 10bp!

For Mysterious Implants, there are some great variations:
5bp - Cyberware Backdoor
5bp - Headsafe (contains someone's elses data)
10bp - Killswitch
10bp - Permanent Infusion (Aug. 94 + Permanent Moderate addiction, BBB 80)
5bp - Traceless ( = to Print Removal (Aug pg89))

Tick, tick, tick ... BOOM

Going to grab a bite. Let me know what you need.

Hey Alex
Actually, I was having chester scope the place out early and then come back a half an hour early.

Headsafe was the one I was thinking.

That could be interesting if it's Shiawase data.

@ SinN

Ok, I think I've got it right this time. Check the IC for me.

-----

@ Meriss

Indeed. Indeed it would. :evilgm:

-----

@ Fist and RJ

Let me know what you need.

Oh crap I just gave the GM Ideas! Head for the hills! *hides*

I'm at the waiting room, awaiting the meet, so I'm in a reactionary mode atm.

Checking in - long day today in audit-land. At least the big boss bought dinner.

Free dinners are always a plus!

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to let you know that Ben's base has been put on effective lockdown due to Hurricane Ike. He's restricted to the barracks and chow hall so, unfortunately, he won't be able to post for awhile.. (unless he tells me what he wants to do and I post for him... which is an option.)

From what I know, there's no immediate danger to the base but they are receiving a ton of military personnel evacuees from Corpus Christi. I'm not sure when lockdown will be lifted but I'm sure he'll be on as soon as it is.

Alex - don't need a thing. I'll post heading down to the meet.

As Alysha mentioned, I'm going ot be locked down for a while. Friday through Sunday to be precise, so I'll be posting again on Monday. *bleck* Since Alex's posting is a bit slow ATM, probbaly shouldn't be too much of a hold up. I'll have Plan B and SinN keep me updated on anything important. If there's something I NEED to post on, I'll have Plan B take care of it for me. Otherwise, just asume I'm kosher and a little quiet at the meet.

@ SinN

IC post or do you need something OOC?

-----

@ Redjack

Yes, yes it was.

Sorry Alex, Didnt have a chance to post today. An employee stole the router for the entire internet access to guests and employees alike. It was returned this afternoon and I am now able to access this wonderful thing called dumpshock. Posting now.

Geez nice people. He got terminated I assume?

Yup, he's actually an international employee here on a temporary visa. From Moldovia, I think. The company had Police waiting in Anchorage at the airport to search the bags of the 40+ employees going home after finishing there contracts. Before the police had gotten to him, he confessed, gave it back. And was released to go home. His punishment, was his bonus check(As all employees get at the end of the season) was taken away, and hes banned from the country. Temporairlly or perminetly Im not sure. But It ended up being a felony, so im pretty sure its perminent.

Ummmm wow. That might be a shade extreme. But then again, corparations must prepare for the Sixth World.

Kay, activating Kinesics and Cool Resolve.

@ Meriss, noted.

-----

My company would probably pull that as well. Sixth world, here we come.

Back in full audit mode tomorrow. The museum today gave me an idea for a future run. You just have to get through this one first.

-----
For those who are looking at the "J":

Troll doesn't have a significant acent one way or another. He is wearing a large trenchcoat and what appears to be black form fitting armor undernearth.

Anything else is going to require a roll.

@Alex: Rolling Judge Intentions on Mr. J. just to see if see if he's telling the truth. 9d6.hits(5)=3 3 hits.
Also rolling Tuscaloosa Area knowledge to see what Steve remembers about the Bule area. (And is that Bule or Blue?) Roll = 10d6.hits(5)=4 4 hits.

Also I went through my knowledge skills and rated them as Street , Acedemic or Interest, you want me to post them here or PM it to you?

Flash - Intuition(3) + Local Area Knowledge(4) : [5,3,4,5,3,3,3] = 2 hits

@ Meriss

Yes, for reference, please PM me that information.

Re: Johnson - yes, he appears to be telling the truth.

It is indeed "Bule". Hey, I didn't name it.

He knows that Bule is named area only because it is a spot on the edge of Tuscaloosa that resists all attempts to tame it. "The woods are alive" would be an adequate description. For some reason, this didn't happen until about seven years ago.

-----

@ RJ

I have to assume that you are rolling for the Bule area. If so, you will know much the same as what I gave Meriss. If that is not what you want, please let me know.

Yea, I was looking for Bule. Sorry. It was late.

Kay some rolling of bones to add to my atempt at raising inital pay.

I'll try an opening Con roll activating Improved Con to disarm Mr. Johnsons suspcions. I want him believeing that Steve is simply an avarice driven redneck (not too far from the truth but Steve is trying to open a road here) So maths Cha = 5 Con = 5 Fastalk is not included Since I don't think I'm actually fastalking him Improved Con level 3 so 13 dice? On we go then. Rolling 13d6.hits(5)=6 6 hits not bad.

Then I'm going to wind up and hit em with a Negotiate to see if he'll accept my take on the situation. Rolling 8d6.hits(5)=2 2 hits crud muffins.

OK - Back.

Audit is over. Had to come home early for family emergency. Glad to say that everyone is fine now. Meriss, you got what you wanted on the first pass.

Anyone else need anything before we move on to the next phase. I will presume that Fist will agree to the terms so the J explains the details.

Glad it is all worked out.

I'm ready for the rest of the details from the Johnson.

Working.

IC updated.

I sense a grave disturbance in the Force almost as though a movie plot was being librally used as inspiraton for a Shadowrun.

This is going to turn into something like Jurassic Park 2 ain't it?

*Looks up*

"I hadn't thought of that..."

*Facepalm* STOP GIVING THE GM IDEAS!

I know that the weekend is always slow for this crew. Does anyone need anything?

Can't think of anything I'll figure out a response to Mr. J shortly. Mostly just kicking myself for giving you ideas.

No worries. I actually had this one plotted out so you won't be affecting my decision on this run.

Presume away. I was haing a weekend off base.

I also have Duty tomorrow, so no posting then, but I'll be back on Wednesday. I graduate on Friday, so I should be pretty consistent for a good while.

Good to hear, Fist.

IC post is up.

Alex did you mean to give us 11K right now?

Yes. 6K as up front and 5K as extra for gear.

I just realized I forgot to give an actual physical description of MITNick. So...

Nick stands of average height and build for a dwarf, with a light frame that goes against all of the sterotypes. While lean, he still seems to exude a bit of that shortguy dwarf attidtude, looking at most of the world around him as if it's challenging him. Not quite a sour face, but he seems to be on guard most of the time. His blond hair is cut short in the back, longer on top in what might have been spiky, but has since grown out a bit much. He sports a goatee with no mustache as well, keeping the rest of his face clean shaven. A single datajack gleams chrome on his left temple, and older model with a new wireless adapter plugged into it.

His clothing is aerage non-descript street, mostly jeans and single tone t-shirts, with a light armored jacket over the top, with no apparent weapons.

His PAN is top of the line, with extra care given to the backgrounds and subtle feel. His profile it's self carries little personal information, but is well scuplted, showing cascading matrix code in hues of electric blue and green. Everything around him has the code rolling over it, although most of it in matching colors, so that it isn't readily apparent. On closer examination, items around the area such as glasses can be seen to have the code rolling down the side, giving the suggestion that maybe the real world is as real as the matrix, or vice versa. His icon it's self is that of a dwarf in a black suit weraing a black fedora hat, his white shirt beneath making a stark contrast. Beneath the hat is a floating reflective chrome head with no facial features, save vacant eye holes that emenate a greenish-gold glow. The same glow comes from his sleeves, where metallic hands hang at the end without the need of such details like wrists.

Hey Alex.
I know i didnt give much of a description of Chester's contacts. So Ill write those up tonight and pm them to you. So for now, Chester is going to try to persuide the group to go to his fixers dive bar just to keep things moving.
