Excellent. That's the information that I was looking for Blitz. I'll be ready with an IC interview when we get there. Other than that, was there any fruit in my search for response times for Lone Star out toward the Factor Five building from Times articles? Once I'm done with that search, I'll probably head back to Ugluck to see if Grog got in touch with him.

Not really...that kind of information is considered sensitive. they list their respose times as qualitative, not quantative...(ie, fastest response time of any private security...etc. rather than, responds in 2.5 minutes)

Oooo....lookee what I found. It's the character picture I made when I first thought up Crimson...

Crimson

Heya Blitz Baby - I am still talking with Crimson, yah? So just waiting for that loose thread.

blitz,
got it.
I was just wondering if you were going to let me average 70 hours a week per the manual (letting me have a little flexibility... I just threw the 14hours/6hours thing out there as an example) or if you were going to be firm on 10 every 24 hour period.

the catnapping example is a good one, though, I'll probably go with that.

nice char pic, btw. I think I picture her a bit older and less sharp featured..

Oh no.....think immortal beauty.

None of you know yet, or will know anytime soon, but Crimson is MUCH much older than you'd suspect

Ok...now we have moved up to 2pm where I will conclude the meet with Crimson and Sully. Once I have Sully caught up with the Timeline (ie. 4pm) we will move forward.

Thanks for everyone's patience in getting us caught up.

Buddah, expect a post sometime this morning.

Hey guys, a heads up here, I am feeling pretty sick, a head cold or something. My posts will be on the minimalist side here for the next few days until I am feeling better.

Feel better!!

Unfortunately, my Cannon Companion has walked off and I dont have SOTA. Can someone post the availability and cost for ceramic weapons?

The only thing I found in the Canon Companion is ceramic components in the firearms customization rules. Even those rules, however, don't really account for the availability of those components, as far as I can tell.

Buddha...you use ceramic weapons right? What rules have you found?

There are no hard and fast rules for making melee weapons out of different materials. One GM I played with thought since most weapons (there are exceptions) didn't indicate their material composition that the player could pick within reason (no diamond clubs). I wasn't fond of that since the player is getting a benefit usually from the different material choice. I charged my self twice the amount of the base weapon and raised the availability by 2, to reflect the added challenge of finding one made out of ceramics. I chatted with folk and got the impression that a blunt weapon made from ceramics would not be terribly difficult to make. The other assumption in play, is that by this point the plastic compounds are advanced enough to be as resilient as metals for the purposes of melee weapons. Hope that helps.

-- double post --

True, it all depends on the GM. It's one of those things that you never think to ask before the game gets going, or at least I never think of it.

Ok...I think that's acceptable. For non-standard materials we'll just have the street index increased by 1 and the availability by two.

Works for me.

I believe that brings us all up to date. It is now 4pm.

Bleh, which means I'm about to start my 6 hours of studying.

LOL...sorry!

:sits back twiddling thumbs, watching everyone else role play:

You know...you COULD always just study for a little while and leave it up to chance

ummm... yeah, cause thats the professional thing to do.

Ok...it looks like everyone's done doing stull until around 8 or 9. Does anyone have a problem bumping until around 9:30 with you guys meeting up with each other?

NO PROBLEM HERE!!!

Wait, did that seem to over the top? I ment to say...

Yeah sure... whatever.

Works for me.

Roger that.

So where are we meeting at 9:30 pm?

Good question.

I see, Trace. My table isn't good enough for you.

Well it's good enough for him, but he's a real mage. 'Good enough' doesn't cut it.

and here I thought you liked me...

Blitz Baby!! It's been a dog's age!! (Vodka stinger in hand)

Not sure how to swing this in this system but I want to use innuendo to Trace to get him to do his mind link thingy. I am guessing Etiquette (I have a skill of 3) but let me know what you want to use.

Well I kinda figured it from the way you tapped your forehead. It was kind of obvious

But only to someone who knows about it. And knows that you know about it.

Playing it safe. Hate stepping on toes.

The only thing that may change about my post is that whenever anyone (ie: waitress) gets near the table, the display would go blank until they leave.

That's fine, you are both intelligent enough to understand unspoken communication, though it might be a good idea to set up a code phrase or similar...

Wraith is checking his mapsofts for the closest industrial area to where we are now. Blitz, can you point me in the right direction please?

Oh man my heart lept when you said 'rent'.

Avis: Hi welcome to Avis how may I help you?

Wraith: Yeah I need a van for the weekend.

Avis: Excellent, I just need 23 forms of ID, and 2000 cash deposit, would you like insurance...

Wraith: Ah, no.

dude, no, HELL NO.

Like get something from a Fixer that I could return and have him clean.

Yeah I know, it just I heard 'rent' you know. Hehe. Well I intended to waist the vehicle when we were done with it anyways. Have us a little barbecue.... Trace is kind of paranoid about ritual sorcery... as should we all.

-=points to the post=- I'm suitably paranoid. I specifically mentioned the BBQ part.

He'll learn...and we'll be there to smack him in the back of the head until he does

I was playing out Wraith being new to team jobs. He has always used his own bike in the past, being that he didn't know jack about ritual samples and whatnot.

Dash: All you taught me was to bug scan the vehicle before using it.

There's a plethora of industrial parks about 10-15 miles out in any direction byt north (downtown) The problem will be finding one that has vehicles in their open lots during this time at night. (5-6pm on a friday? employees flee like rats off a sinking ship!)

But most companies don't let employee's take company vehicles home with them, and not every company can afford completely enclosed parking.
