I don't know if the rest of you noticed, but all the PCs have been time-stamping our over-the-pacific discourse on Monday...but our Fearless GM has been time-stamping it Tuesday. We're gonna need some clarification.
See my previous post.
It should be Tuesday the 10th.
Everything we posted since Dec 11 real time should be timestamped Tuesday the 10th.

Haha! I was thinking the exact same thing when searching and linking! I figure I am already on the NDAA watch list with all my anti liberal and Obama posts on facebook. I need to get an IP mask or scrambler. Not because I do anything wrong, but I don't think it's anyone's business, especially the government's, right to track my online usage, ie porn download history.
Pretty sad that normal people feel that way now.
Bugger, not going to make the post until tomorrow 
You're actually going to be dropped a little further away, south east... but in order to do directions, I picked the nearest village. I was trying to put a thumb tack on there like I have done before, but I couldn't remember or figure out how.
October 10th and 11th 2062 are half moons (so we'll have some light to work with) and there aren't any Islamic holidays on those two days.
@Bastard
Ludi plans on going online to get her hands on knowsofts concerning Teheran (history and geography) and Islam. She'll also track down linguasofts for Azerbaijani, Turkmen and Uzbek. If it's possible, I'll get you whatever rolls you need.

I like the idea of getting to the mosque quickly. We can stake it out for a little bit. If an oppsoing team happens to show up or exits we can get the jump on them. If nothing happens that is fine we can proceed into the mosque as normal.
Are there any questions I have missed?

The only real "question" I have left concerns our sort of plan of approach. Are we just going full camo with guns out, or are we dressing as civilians?
@Bastard
What would you need me to roll for Ludi to get her hands on R3 Linguasofts and Datasofts?

Okay... got it now Sneaky. That is why I posted the questions... cause sometimes there are so many, that I miss a few.
I updated that previous OoC.
I will bump ahead to the mission mid-next week. Please get me all questions and legwork INCLUDING ROLLS by next Saturday. INCLUDE SKILL, CONTACT, etc. Anything not including a roll or skill, I will roll for you and use you basic skill.
I will have the provided equipment listed later this week as well.

okay, my next question, looking through the gear that Mrs. J brought, what is the best desert-urban camo armor that she brought? Is it better than the gear I *cough you cough* brought along? do you need a roll for this? If it's standard, then that is one of the things I am going to ask for to be provided for us, some light security or even mil-spec armor in desert-urban camo color tones.

The gear isnt out yet. Its in the cargo hold.
You were not going to have access to it until you land.
However. Since you guys have already posted that you are going through it... you guys can post that you are in the cargo hold.
Guns will not be brought up to the passenger area.
Miss Johnson will return and escort you guys down there.
PLEASE EDIT POSTS TO INCLUDE THESE UPDATES. Remember that the meeting with Miss J was over BEFORE 1400.... You are down in the Cargo Area around 1445. Please keep your time stamps in order.

Approximately 1 hour before landing:
16:00:00 Wednesday, 11 October 2062 (UAE and Iraq/IST/Delta)
04:00:00 Wednesday, 11 October 2062 (CFS/PST/Uniform)
I eliminated the UTC +330 and moved it to Delta (UTC +4)

You do realize Kliko will walk about Teheran with a gigantic boner when he wears this stuff right.
@Kliko: Just keep that thing away from Bubba!
On another note, this tells me we are going to deal with some serious shizzle since the GM provided this kind of armor buff. So If I add this up right Bubba will be sitting at the following armor level:
5/2 Form Fit
5/3 Camo Jacket
1/2 Helmet
2/1 Natural Body Armor edge
13/8 - WIth body of 12.
Bastard either has some serious fire power witing for us (Tank) or lots of mojo slingers!

And here I was going to have Ludi wear only her FFA under civilian clothes.... I guess that's out of the question...
What's the max armor you can wear in SR3 without starting to buckle under the weight? I know it's BODY X 3 in SR4.....
Bubba, you're actually at (5 + 5/2 + 2 + 2) = 11 Ballistic and 6 Impact due to the way layering works. You will need a Quickness or 7 or 12 to avoid taking penalties to Quickness depending on how Bastard views my question at the bottom.
In SR3 it's all based on Quickness.
SR3 pg 285:
Every two points that either Ballistic or Impact exceed Quickness, reduce combat pool by 1 die. (This is total numbers, so add the full values of layered armor, not the benefit you get.)
When layering armor, each point that Ballistic exceeds your quickness, take a +1 TN penalty to all Quickness related tests. In addition, reduce the characters quickness by the TN penalty when you calculate the movement rate.
When a Helmet or Shield is used, the armor bonus it provides is added to other armor. This does not count as layering (full bonus applies) but does count towards determining the Quickness penalty.
Canon Companion pg 51
Form-fitting armor can be worn with other armor but does not affect a character when calculating penalties for Combat Pool loss.
Bastard does this apply to the Quickness penalty as well?

Desert Camo Helmet
Ammo Belt/Vest/Harness (TLBV) with built in SmartRepel
The civilian clothing will be added to the assualt pack along with the jacket liner.

Duster is going to wear the FFA under the desert camo, with the TLBV between the two. He will have a helmet, but won't wear one when he's out scouting. He's going to take the lightest 'local' clothing, that can be rolled up, and secure two tops and two bottoms, of different colors, in 4 of the larger pouches, the other pockets will carry a basic first aid kit with anti-toxins (if there are any available), survival kit (map and compass, fishing line and hooks, water purification tabs, matches, 2 days rations, etc...), 10 mags of ammo (plus one in the gun, of course) (44 shots total), and a small amount of basic currency...Duster's basic paranoia survival kit

@Bastard
Concerning the Linguasoft Ludi wanted, she's going to use just regular legal channels. I take it R3 linguasofts are something you can legally pay for and just download off the matrix, right? Since she doesn't have any spare chips on her, or anything to burn chips, she's going to store the software in her headware (I think she had something like 100mp or so)
Also, is the Harness (TLBV) with built in SmartRepel a once piece item "attached" to the vest or just a harness? Because since Ludi has her own combat vest (with ruthenium coating) she'd probably just grab the harness and leave the rest.

Who's carrying the Sat Phones ? (we got 2)
And who's carrying the case?
And how's taking which Linguasofts? Ludi will call dibs on the German one because at least she can pass for German

Kliko will carry one. Ludi, the other.
Kliko also brought five field rations and ten ration bars for each, which obviously need to be distributed amongst the team.
You don't run far on an empty stomach.
Good to see there are two medkits available. At 3kg's a piece they suck cock ass in shadowrun.

When a Helmet or Shield is used, the armor bonus it provides is added to other armor. This does not count as layering (full bonus applies) but does count towards determining the Quickness penalty.
Canon Companion pg 51
Form-fitting armor can be worn with other armor but does not affect a character when calculating penalties for Combat Pool loss.
Bastard does this apply to the Quickness penalty as well?
Exactly. And I hadn't realized it didn't mention Quickness with the Combat Pool for FFA, but it I will lump it in with the CP. However, this form-fit has the thin Kevlar layer so include it at a +1 to your calculated armor (instead of the full value).

@BastardConcerning the Linguasoft Ludi wanted, she's going to use just regular legal channels. I take it R3 linguasofts are something you can legally pay for and just download off the matrix, right? Since she doesn't have any spare chips on her, or anything to burn chips, she's going to store the software in her headware (I think she had something like 100mp or so)
This is possible. Isn't Level 4 the legal limit? I didn't look it up... just my little brain working.

Also, is the Harness (TLBV) with built in SmartRepel a once piece item "attached" to the vest or just a harness? Because since Ludi has her own combat vest (with ruthenium coating) she'd probably just grab the harness and leave the rest.
It is all one piece, though the ammo vest can be detached. You cannot wear both, but you can wear the harness to repel, and be retrieved, and store it in your pack the rest of the time. It's weight is slightly more than the regular repel harness.

Did you guys realize, shooting guns etc. are all quickness related tests?
Its the reason I maxed Kliko at quickness 6, so he can actually wear Full camo (5/3) + Helmet (1/2) + Fore arm guards(0/1) for 6/6 total without penalties. Besides, the trick is not to get shot...

I realized that. That is the catch of getting all this fancy gear and having to hike a distance to the target.

FYI: The HUD map is basically a google map image. None live, zoomable, rotateable and shows your position.
So, 3x Rating 3 Linguasofts (Azerbaijani, Turkmen and Uzbek), Legally downloaded, at 27MP each and costing 1350 each makes it 4050 
and 81 MP used up on her headware memory (leaving 19MP of free space....)

Ok, here goes Kliko:

Any one due for a next post?
Yes and no. I could write up Ludi getting the Linguasofts but it isn't going to make for an interesting read
Miss Johnson's Armory has been updated. Fixed helmet stats, and added sound suppressors, food and water.

If you want to include it, I am sure we will find it entertaining, as always.
