PD's done for the night and his heading to bed. I'm going to lurk for a while and let the others get through the evening/early morning hours that people want to post before I go ahead with PD talking to the paper tomorrow to discuss the story as well as performing a search the the Times archives for more information.
Grey
Blitz: How do you want to work me upgrading my Mapsofts for the area? I have a Mapsoft 5 for Seattle, would this just be a specialty added to it at 6 or whatever?

I'm going to be making note of everything on the map, trash bins, street lights, man holes, etc.
Dashifen
Blitz: you finally work Moira into a game, I see smile.gif
Blitz
Grey...there's no need to assign a hard number, I would say that you are now relatively familiar with the area and if it becomes an issue, I would simply roll your intelligence to see if a particular detail is remembered based on it's obscurity.

Fenris...it seemed appropriate smile.gif
Fenris
I'm just running a general matrix search on the Seattle RTG. Browse[4] and only 1 point of response increase. You have the table, you have my character sheet, so I'll let you decide what happens from here.

Really just hoping for leads to a specific database besides one owned by Knight Errant wink.gif
Shadow
Blitz,

I am going to do a great IC post, but I wanted to clear it with you before I did, I want to sumon a single F1 watcher, have it patrol the area and report to Sully.

After starting a good bonfire I want to summon one force 4 (first) and one Force 2 (second) Fire elementals. Again, I will put all of this in an IC post when we get there, I just wanted you to have a heads up.
Blitz
Have at!
Shadow
@ Budha, is this place were going to out in the forest, a wharehouse etc.... Is there a lot of people around it?

Buddha72
Out in Snohomish in the woods. We will have to walk a little ways (half hour) to a clearing. There's a barn where you can do the mojo.
Grey
Blitz, I'm pausing my current stake out until I hear from you if they are using ultrasound sensors on the property.
Grey
Oh, and I also need to know if I can spot a manufacturer for the camera. Keep in mind also that I have both Security Systems and Security Devices at 5, so if you think I could figure anything out, let me know.

Oh, I also am going to be scanning the airwaves with my rating 6 comm unit, rating 6 scanner, and rating 6 decryption.
Blitz
I need to access my books so you'll have to wait until this evening for a post.
Fenris
Hate to push. but things are moving along pretty good, so I'd like some idea. Blitz, about how long is it going to take to do this search?
Blitz
Totally my fault, I completely forgot about it. Im just about to leave for Boise, so expect a post as soon as I touch down and get to my parents.
Grey
I'm not going to be very active for the next few days, when I get back to work on Tuesday I'll be more active again.
Shadow
Hope you enjoy your time in Idaho Blitz.

I'm not sure how you wanted to handle the summoning so I was waiting for you to tell me if it went okay or not. I can post more once I know.
Blitz
Im sorry....I just dont have time to post right now and I have no resources with me. Please pause on the game. It will start up again promptly on Tuesday morning. Sorry for the inconveinence
Shadow
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for actually cracking this nut?
Fenris
Seems easy. Security is moderate to light most of the time (which makes sense, it's a fashion company). Complicated plans are going to go to pieces as soon as something happens, and it will. I say we go basic. Put somebody in with a dataline tap and a transmitter through a camera or something, let me hack in and take care of the electronic security. I should be able to monitor things well enough to help you and guide a few people (2-3?) to the lab, and take care of the data switch as well.
Dashifen
I agree with what Grey posted IC, too, the hardest parts will probably be (A) the security mage that Crimson said we couldn't handle and (B) the retinal scanner. Also, we should probably have a cool idea about getting away. I've played more than one game where we got into the facility, had the goods, and couldn't get away with them.

I think you're right, though, Fenris. Nothing too spectacular and we should be okay. I'm still going to try and get PD into the building if I can. See what I can see about the retinal scanner's make/model etc. Plus, a little pre-run reconnisance is always fun. Worst that happens is I get a good case of dead -- or beat up smile.gif.
Grey
Wraith can get a dataline tap installed no problem for Jack to use (in fact, I already said something about that in an IC post). Plus I'm pretty sure that Wraith will be able to get past the retinal scanner as well. We need to have a Mage (aka Shadow) go in with the infiltrating team to deal with the Watcher spirit and help out in case the Corp Mage shows up.

Wraith is also in the middle of some recon right now and I'll have another lengthly post about that as soon as we get a green light from Blitz.
Blitz
FYI..Ive seen several different GM's handle watchers in many different ways. Per the book and the way I run it, is when a watcher goes poof, the mage does NOT know.
Buddha72
Heya Boss Lady!!

Do you want us to post our arrivals or let you insert us?

(bows deeply)

One more thing oh Wrathful One, Weasel is a lvl 2 contact Sully uses for info from the street. Runners, gangs, etc. biggrin.gif
Blitz
:: blinks ::

.....mkay.....

wink.gif

You are welcome to post. You both have a fairly good idea about how the club is, and how the staff treats you. FYI...you'll be asked to wait in the main hall area until Crimson is ready for you.
Blitz
the door guards will only deny you entry if you are outside the time you are expected to enter. if you aren't given a specific time, yet are expected, there is no trouble gaining entry.

go ahead and post your entrance into the club proper. You'll be asked to wait a bit, then Ill post a scene with Crimson and Ember and then you'll be brought in. Just a little hint of the script ahead so you can post biggrin.gif
Grey
Blitz, I'm gunna scan the data that Jack found before moving on with my recon hoping that something in the data will give me a clue as to things I can look for while checking out the site.
Dashifen
You guys are having all this fun without me smile.gif Stupid PD going to bed early. I mean ... whose idea was that .... oh yeah .........
Grey
Is there anything to note about the building or is everything fairly standard? Can you give me an idea of the layout and where the enterances and security measures are?
Blitz
Sometime this weekend Ill sit down and make some maps, but it will have to wait till then.

Otherwise...it's about as standard as a factory in any business park in america right now. Cept for the watcher spirits you cant see of course.
crechebaby
just roleplaying here, not trying to stir things up..
ember's very private, and being chastened like a wayward child by a perfect stranger is galling, to say the least..
Blitz
LOL...No...it SHOULD be embarassing. Crimson is like that though. You'll see as you go along that she has very good reasons for doing and saying things as she does, though. She's not your standard fixer. wink.gif

BTW...please edit your post regarding Rumi. He rarely shows emotion, and Crimson is so far beyond your power that you don't offer any threat, regardless of your intentions. He would have remained emotionless throughout the meeting.

Have you had a moment to read through the previous posts?

FYI...you are playing your part exactly as expected. dont worry, I never take IC stuff personally...Im glad you're able to take it as well...leaves a lot of fun possibilities ahead for me >:)
Shadow
@ Grey,

At least 10 hours has past since our initial meeting. So it is roughly 6 am or so. So do you meen tomorow or today smile.gif
crechebaby
So I see... my first thought was "Who died and made her God??" :D

I'll edit my post as you wish, however, along those same lines...
Ember wouldn't have been impressed by Rumi's looks when she first entered the bar... she doesn't much like bald men, and (for more specific reasons) blue eyes... nor would she have spent any time at all thinking about the much-aluded-to Him.

I'll try not to force emotions onto your characters, and perhaps you can do the same for me ;)

I read the entire IC and OOC before sending you my character history. So far, it looks very interesting. I have to say, Crimson definitely has a unique... flavor... ;)
Grey
Today then. smile.gif

Wraith has a sleep regulator, so he looses track easy. wink.gif
crechebaby
oh great... whenever a GM uses the word "fun", it always gives me the shivers.. wink.gif
Blitz
FYI...Im waiting for Trace and Sully to respond...you will be waiting in the bar area for the length of time it takes Crimson to speak with Ember. basically, Crimson entered the room with Ember the same time the two of you entered the club.

I just dont want time to get all discombobulated
Buddha72
Posted and letting Trace set the tone as the boss type. I'm just here to do things and beat people. biggrin.gif
Shadow
Posted as well. I didn't realize I was supposed to wink.gif
Buddha72
No problem. I loved being the second in command. I don't have to make all the hard decisions. I'm your girl Friday.
crechebaby
I wonder if anyone sees my connection to the above post in any way.

hope not.
it was a terrible book.
Buddha72
Just waiting for Rumi to escort us on over my big BLUE GODDESS!!
Blitz
Ok...cut it with the goddess worship!
Buddha72
GASP!!

Your ego has a limit!! (just kidding)

I was just trying to be spunky, I'll revert to my normal sarcastic self. wink.gif
Blitz
Don't you have a nice happy middle ground? wink.gif
Buddha72
For you my flower, I will! love.gif
Dashifen
As Shadow just brought up on the IC, did we get 10k or 20k? I thought it was only 10k as a signing bonus and we'd get our monthly pay later. If it's 20k, then I can actually afford the encryption that Mac is working on for me smile.gif
Shadow
Mindlink spell.

Half pool to casting, half to resist drain. If it is uneven, more to casting then resisting.
