For Umbra, this is more of a "he's there somewhere" situation. He does have a general idea where to find Arkansas; It will be a five minute jog.

Thanks. I'll do that thing

You're up Satyr.
Let's wrap this scene up, move on to the meet and get the run on!

Ah the temptation to put a spanner in the works: "A Doc Wagon hospital. But they are the good guys. We cannot steal from DocWagon. I'll ask my good friend Sgt Tanner what he thinks..."

But no Rat fully approves of stealing things. Even from hospitals.

its one of those bigger evil corp things lol. they have enormous amounts of overstock while the little free clinic has limited access to such supplies.

You're up Satyr.

Sorry about the lag in posting. RL is eating me alive and looks like it will keep circling like a shark that smells the blood in the water for most of October.

Don't worry about it: You recruited on the basis that there would be a slow posting rate. Hope the RL issues work out OK.

No problem Mr Val, Umbra is happy not to you use your real name

Sorry that it's a little late, but it's more funny this way.

Lol its all good, thats why this game is so fun you actually have to think to play it well.

Ok, the post rate wasn't supposed to be this slow... RL is throwing me some real curve balls.

Digging. Out. From. Under. Real. Life.

take a breath while you still can man, holiday season is only going to get more insane

Actually, Holidays are actually going to slow down for me. I have vacation days I have to burn. FINALLY!!

And burn them I did.

Ok, looking over my records it has been a LONG time since karma was awarded... Like all year.

Karma
+1 Val: Get gear from cruiser
+1 Val: Get out of ganger turf without getting caught.
+1 Val/Umbra: Successful meet.

+4 Umbra: 1/2 year of good posting

CSP [Common Sense Points] are usable towards knowledge skills/langauges

Ok. You have 3 street bikes and 5 riders. Anything else you need to do? Was there something about a van in your plans?

Well I going to see if we could steal a van use that van get inside the complex and then wing it from there.

Make some IC posts and lets put it in motion.

Saytr/Seth ?

so sorry the holiday rush has been kicking my butt. i will post in tomorrow after work.

sorry it took so long for me to reply. ATT in retail is crazy busy this time of year. i posted in so i hope we can get rolling again once the holidays are behind us

Been since early November since Seth even checked into the board... May have another casualty...

i would hate to have umbra taken out since he is my only connection to the troll and something resembling my past so far ;/

Ditto... but as usual, the story will continue.

Ok Satyr, post up. We'll move on with him in remote control for a bit.

Seth sent a PM; he is facing some considerable challenges in his personal life and is withdrawing.

well it was hopeful there for a minute but RL takes priority no doubt i hope it all works out for seth. i am kind of stuck on how to come up with any ideas on how to infiltratd the facility. one we cohld steal a delivery truck just to get inside or just wait for a wagon to leave and hope they have the right drugs on board hmmmm infiltrating with no other input is proving difficult. can Val reach out to any current contacts that would prove of use?

I have added notes to the bottom of Val's character sheet to keep us reminded of the *big story* progression.

As to the facility: Work with the team. Granted, you have two goons, a simpleton and a loon, but you hacker is competent and the others are fairly skilled in their areas. Keep to their strengths, avoid their weaknesses.

You're up Satyr.

Tag. You're it Saytr.

If you are ready to get the van, just IC a post that you are heading around the block. As the leader of the team, you can direct the members as required. Please note plans for the bikes as well.

Time to make some choices and take some risks...

arent they the same thing I am looking forward to finding out Who Val really was from the looks so far he was getting involved with a lady but something went boom!

Yea, this has been quite a ride and we are FAR from the end of the story... This little side trip has taken.. about 30 months more than I expected... I thought it would take 6 months (given that this is a pbp). Did you realize that 3/19 was the 3 year anniversary?

wow i really had not realized how long we have been playing this out lol. I hope i have not side tracked the missions to the point of no return, i really need to get Val back on track to finding out who he is.

Not at all. I learned long ago that in a shared story, my original vision is never the outcome. That said, there are stacks of clues and we have all the time to learn the truth.

Of course, you do need to post for it to continue.

I'm confused:

You asked where to leave the bikes. Athena provided some discussion ultimately recommending to just leave them at the Taco Hut.

You then told Slick to stay with the bikes. Being already at Taco Hut, he just sat down while everyone else got up and mounted the other two bikes.

Val, Umbra, Toad & Arkansas then circle the block and Athena hacks the van and has it follow them.

The Taco Hut is just around the block from where the van was is the closest place and where Slick is currently waiting. Arkansas is on back with Toad, the duo followed Val and Umbra....?

Oh yeah duh. Sorry then we will drop the bikes at taco stand then all load up into the van and get going:)

Your move.

Not quite sure I understand this: "Val holds notices the Nurse take notice". What nurse?

lol sorry i fixed the post

I'm still not clear on where you see a nurse?

I thought it said doctor or nurse not door lol I gave been brain dead last three weeks sorry.

Dude! You are too funny. Sorry, my fault. There is a saying "white elephant in the room". This infers something that is very obvious to everyone but that no one talks about. I used that reference on the janitor because you were kinda sneaking around him like he wasn't right there in the hall with you; I should have been clearer. (But you still made me laugh!)

Lol awesome and classic. I thought about it after i posted and thought would wait till i heard back.

Welcome Sengir (player) and Hardwire (character) to the game.
