nobody's looked through Lilith's gear listing yet, have they? She has 30+ drones, most of which have LMGs or better.
I saw, and found it hilarious to have a swarm of hover drones so large that you need a Nexus to run all of them. Does nicely to make up for our lack of numbers.
Yeah so the plan:
should we tolatly re boot or jsut star from where we are and ill though in AD-80 as an NPC for now.

I've re-done Abaddon without all the IC Summoning and Binding and switched things about a bit to do that differently. No reason I couldn't go in and just edit the relevant posts though...
Well im restarting ive decied im going to add a plorlog to it with a small scrimish to work out team tactics and what not. SO time to flick though my book of one shots and pick the one that will be fit. I have an idea but its not too rigger frendly although it is ish. and will act as a nice way to see how mercy you guys are.
i cant post
Our less than friendly ghosty friend, adrian, had become a nonentity. Meanwhile, his far more friendly replacement has formed a small robotic commando squad of her own, which wasn't mentioned at all. I vote start over. It'll be easier in the long run
well hers the plan ill totaly restart the thread with a prologe fight the first tiome you guys work as a team together then we'll go to the africa plot arch for the prolog i have some ideas for a one shot type mission but im open to player insperation. I'll start the IC asap. It will be a post on Outpost by Dust anoucing the formation of the group.
new IC is up plsease intro your self IC and such i have a few more posts in the works.
This should be special.
Sorry, got carried away and couldn't wait any longer.
I've been working on that for days now so it's a bit on the large side and there might still be some editing errors in the spoilers. Think I got it all though.
I just remembered I forgot starting cash, I'll just stick that in here...
4D6+12 x 1000
= 30000

looks good.
Danger Close is shipping pretty much everything except for his personal commlink and a few days of clothes, since all of his gear is indisputably military hardware, and none of it is even remotely discrete.
Having landed in London, he's going to wander around sightseeing until someone suggests otherwise.

just an fyi: I may be out of reach until monday. Don't know if I'll have internet access where I'm headin.
FYI: im waiting on you guys to get to Lindsay house
Done. Admittedly, I'm assuming that the place hasn't changed drastically in the time between 2009 and 2070.
So am I. XD bar AR and a bigger door 
No word from Muspellsheimr, regarding his parpisitation in the game. So I'm giveing till the end of the week. Then I'm droping them from the first mission at lest.
My apologies. Most of my free time has been taken up with Wednesday's game, preparation for a Shadowrun game on Thursdays, & my birthday yesterday; I have not really had a chance to more than glance at the boards for a while.
I am meeting with the other Shadowrun GM shortly, but should have an IC post up later tonight. If it is not up by Wednesday morning, continue without me & I will join the next mission.

Glad to hear from you wednessday it is then. I'll start coming up with a post for thurseday then.
It occurs to me that altering gear adapted for the desert to be suitable for polar action ought to be pretty easy.
They are already altered to operate in a low water environment and to prevent environmental contamination.
All that would have to be done is to change any filters/baffles so that they prevent water contamination rather than sand ingress.
Anything that isn't already adapted can be converted given access to a relevant shop and a couple of hours for weapons and 12 for vehicles.

The only issue I'd forsee would be adding insulation to everyone's armor, and (other than being an overmodification in DC's case) even that's fairly trivial. Should be amusing walking around as a 950lb troll carrying another 900 pounds of weapons and ammunition, though. Definitely going to need a big, big, big pair of snowshoes.
Armor capacity is OPTIONAL rule and is NOT in play. I'm going to rejigg dust a bit as he doesn't need some skills he has that i forgot he had. Changed manged to boost his agility to 8 and add a few more skills. Just realise i said artic not antartic in my post fixed.
Quick question. Do you guys want to RP out the whole meal or shall we just say a bit bout it I.E. what you had +plus any topics you would bring up or skip straight to the end?
meh... either way works for me... *shrugs*

If folks want to mention a few highlights during the meal, that's fine. But I would not want to try to roleplay the smalltalk that is essential to learning to work together as a team. (I have enough trouble doing small talk in real life, except if it is the classic OO programming language.)

Apply that here as well.
I'm happy to skip the small talk.
You never did tell me how far North this base is.....

Notnorth at all. Antartic not arctic.
Ah, all becomes clear....
So how far south then? We can probably expect some major midnight sun at this time of year...
We'll be a helluva lot further from rescue if it all goes tits up. And there are far too many films and Cthulhu scenarios based in Antarctica for my liking....

Completely fine with skipping the small talk and fading to black on the idle dinner conversation.
And still looking forward to blanketing a tennis court sized swathe of ice in incindiary grenades to see how far down it will melt.

Anyone have a highlight they want to bring up during dinner? If not, I will skip to as we are leaving.
Nope. No highlights to bring up.
Unless any one has any questions for the meal ill move on to the end. Then on to the meet at the MoD.
Bring it on.
well, since lilith's poor, she'll be pouting for a bit...
I have a bit of RP for leaving, after the meal, but nothing else.
Onward, ever onward, I say.
I will be out of state this weekend, & may have limited access to the forums.

thanks!
I forgot to mention that to everyone. Unless A) Dumori, or B) you decide that I would find specific information, I'm going to assume that I find basic information from the wikki (IE: metatype, generalities about what you do(like DC blows things up, dusty shoots things at range, etc), and other similar things).

You will find most legal data on Seraph without issue. You will not find anything conclusive on her shadow identity, unless your contact has access to the Deep Resonance (in which case, I leave it to Dumori to decide what is learned). You will find a number of rumors about her, but no information whatsoever on shadow jobs she has taken (with possible exception of this one). You will not find any form of conformation on her Infected nature, & the only rumors are clearly unreliable.
If you have any questions in particular, feel free to send me a PM.

Lilith isn't breaking into the Ministry of Defense, is she? 
erm... maybe? ^__^
Poor Tam. Just an ordinary, highly skilled professional soldier, saddled with this pack of freaks. This research station is doomed.
only doomed if they have any awesome tech...
OOO! do you think that they'll let Lilith operate their automated security? *insert evil laugh here*

I think Lilith might BE their automated security. When you're that isolated, you don't need a ton of security, since the logistics of attacking you will greatly reduce the number of threats you face. The downside is that anyone who makes it to you to attack your site is going to be a very serious threat.
Still kicking myself for not making DC an adept, by the way. Feel left out not having a magic rating.
Edit: Who doesn't love giant trolls with traceless walk, wall running, and gliding?

hmm... we need to make sure that the negotiations include receiving specs of their current security and supplies for the improvement of said security.
Huh... I'm glad Lilith can multitask so well. Her usefulness just keeps going up

Also curious how much they'll let us use the desktop forges at the facility. Being able to fabricate spare parts on the spot would definitely reduce our operating costs once the job gets going.
