Oh come now, I have much more subtle ways of getting you back on track.

I, for one, welcome our new on-track overlords.

OK back from vacation. I will start posting again this week.

Slip

I am moving tomorrow and will be internet-less for a week, so I will try to make some short posts from work if I can. Sorry BC if this lags you down, if need be, feel free to interact with my character however Grendel sees fit. Hopefully I will be back up by the 14th.

No problem dude. Moving sucks bad enough as it is

Training to Computers 3 over the course of the afternoon. Deducting the appropriate cash and karma.

And hello again, everyone!

ok, assencing once again on the target, testing for power and emotional changes.

Assencing: 13 11 05 05 04 01

In addition, still searching for Melissa.

Astral Perception: 10 04 03 03 02 01

Hope nothing else was needed of me? Stalling a little on Alleycat, just in case you want me to bring my timeline closer to yours, paul. If no, I can just continue with what I'm doing (which will take her to the vicinity of the house we checked out earlier in about an hour); if yes, just write Alleycat in as you see fit.

Off-line until Friday.

Ahh, feels good to post again, Hope you can keep up WinterRat1 .

Hope your feeling better too!

Slip

Bclements, Ecclesiastes: same deal as before, post up until your arrival at the business park and I'll fill in a description.

Sedna- I will let you post your description of Alleycat searching, just because I want to be sure I don't miss anything you wanted to do, and I wasn't sure if you were acting on the Melissa thought right away, or doing other stuff first before it, and I didn't want to jump you ahead because you don't have much time in RLto reverse-engineer if we run into a timeline problem right now.

Noted Today will be fairly tight in any case (this was a quick check-in, I don't know if I can get to e-mail yet); but tomorrow should be better.

Edit: sorry, that changed, this end, and now tomorrow's not free after all. I might be able to get in something short tomorrow; otherwise I don't know if I'll be on-line again before next Friday. After that, give it two or three days, and then things should hopefully be back to something resembling "normal".

Hey Everyone,

Just letting you all know I'll be attending a conference starting Sunday, and I will not be back until next Sunday. I do not know what my internet access will be like, hopefully at a major college campus I can find somewhere to post (!) but if not, well, that's the breaks...

So my posting may range from no significant changes to absolutely nothing, to anywhere in between. I simply won't know until I get there. That said, if I'm gone for the next week and you don't hear from me on the threads/PMs, that's why. Hopefully I can still post and keep everything flowing merrily along, but if not, I'll see you all in a week!

that's fine, have fun and good luck with the confrence.

grendel, I'm gonna look around the parking lot, see what condition the cars are in (to see if they've been there long or have just driven in), any obvious security, etc

Moirdryd: I know that you have recently checked in with me, but how are things going? Will you be able to pick up posting soon?

Temporary absence announcement

Since winterrat just posted a conference absence, it seems like a great time for me to post mine as well. From June 26th until July 6th I will be out of town. The first week of that time I will be spending at a conference in New Hampshire. The last three days I will be traveling to Boston mostly to socilaize with some of my collaborators

Since I don't own a laptop computer at the moment posting may be difficult, but I hope that I can arrange with you guys (winterrat, ronin, and sedna) to fill in for me in our timeline as needed.

All my people, I believe that covers me with all of you.

Sedna- You know I'm letting you post yourself, as I stated earlier.
Paul, Slip, Scrap- I believe that covers all of the necessary responses to your characters and you're free to post.

Slip & Scrap- I believe you two have/are/should work out between yourselves when you'll be posting in conjunction with one another.

Paul & Sedna- A similar thing, just coordinate with one another when you want to meet up together to move forward, otherwise, anything up till what you both agree/agreed on you're free to post.

Everyone- I'll just keep popping in throughout the week to watch and post in reply to all of you as best I can.

Again, assuming the same kind of accuracy that was present in the last set of coordinates, the location specified is in the building in front of Todd and Tony. According to Todd's GPS, the location should be about forty meters from their present location, almost directly ahead of where they are parked.

Ok, cool. Anything on the perception check?

The vehicles look to be in good working order, most of them are covered with a light dusting of snow. Most likely they belong to the day shift of workers and have been there since eight or nine that morning. The building features security cameras covering the front entrance, as well as one of the fire exits near the corner of the front. It's possible that the cameras could see the parking lot as well, but unlikely.

Karma awards for my players:

Ecclesiastes: 1 pt (Jun 8th - Jun 14th)

Morgannah: 1 pt (Jun 8th - Jun 14th)

Oh, and give me a computer roll for Eyes, please, as he sorts through Dr. Casimir's server.

Grendel: Anything in the area that could tell us what company owns the building?

My apologies for my apparent absence, i`ve only just learned that Opera (my regular browser) doesnt actually like posting on dumpshock, which may explain while the past couple of weeks i`ve been missing things. So I`m back on using IE (which i`d stopped using due to a couple of nasty virus's) My apologies again to everyone who's been waiting on me.

Jon

The sign out front of the building lists six occupants:

Walker Consulting
Synapse Business Solutions
SimAuthor
Gruin Technical Services
Epoch LLC
Eliot Campbell & Smith, Patent Attornies

Glad to have you back Moirdryd! I have to ask (since I never heard of EITHER of those browsers), were you just not seeing all our posts, and thinking that all of us had just stopped posting?

Oh, right, yes.

It's the 12th (+3 ). Karma awards:

bandit: 1 (+1 GM bonus) [May 30 - June 5] + 1 (+1 GM bonus) [June 6-12] = 4
Sentinel: 1 [May 30 - June 5] + 1 [June 6-12] = 2
Tiredronin: 1 [May 30 - June 5] + 1 [June 6-12] = 2
WinterRat: 1 (+1 GM bonus) [May 30 - June 5] + 1 (+1 GM bonus) [June 6-12] = 4

Sentinel, just take it one statement at a time in this conversation. In other words, don't try to condense it by doing a Statement One, "waiting to see the reaction to this", Statement Two, "watching the reaction to this", Statement Three, etc.

You're going to need one hour per Force strength of ward you intend to establish.

Andie, Sam, and the dog are the only people in the room; and if you go into the teaching room you'll find only the man on the cot.

I'll be checking this again later today.

IE is Internet Explorer

No i saw your posts, and have been trying to keep up (I missed the one page with Bandit's to me on though) and even thought i was posting, but for some reason Opera wasnt completing the posting send, its only when i went and looked back at stuff the other night i noticed a couple of my posts were not infact on the boards. Also Opera didnt seem to register my track topic selection either.

anyway, back now on IE for the Dumpshock stuff.

Jon

I've been using Mozilla Firefox with no problems. It's better than IE by far, blocks popups very well, and I have yet to find a website it doesn't work with. Haven't heard much about Opera, actually; is that the one with the mouse gestures and other nifty things like that?

ok, Sedna, I want to verify that Alleycat isn't going to be doing anything in particular, as it relates to Blaze, until about 8-9 AM. If that is true I'll go ahead and post Blaze's morning up until calling Alleycat, if it's not true please let me know.

Fair enough, eitherway IE is working for me atm *chuckles*

The Epitaph and the Black Brothers are pulled (mostly) from my own head; nothing like that exists in canon from what I can tell. Feel free to do whatever you like with them.

New guys in the posting arena:

Bay Bomber: Open
-SF native, in Seattle on "business"

Freedom Fighter: Open
-SF native; part of the MPA but also helping out the Black Brothers. Tends to know a lot about the dark underbelly of the Berkeley shadows.

Gullah Joe: Open
-Nothing really set in stone with this guy yet. Just stole the name from a book, really.

Alrighty, now time to work on my actual post.

One of those feelings you just can't deny.

(Edit): I swear I'll post something else later; for some reason I just can't think of anything to *do* with Eyes right now. I have a whole list of things he *should* be doing, but none involve company. Guess I never gave much thought to his more social hobbies before, seeing as all mine are rather antisocial too.

I've made an open joke with my boss that, should I ever catch a single motivational poster at my work, I'll repaper my walls their demotivational counterparts. Nice one!

And for something to do: whiskey helps (or so my character would say).

Sunday Karma Awards

Cedric: [June 13th-June 19th] 1
Moirdryd: [June 13th-June 19th] 1

*I've spent the weekend at my family home spending Father's Day weekend with my dad. I'll be back in the office (so to speak) tomorrow and will post replies then. Thanks everyone.

Today and tomorrow are the catch-up days.

paul, I've only got a couple more "overnight" posts planned for Alleycat, neither of which should involve Blaze before the mid/late morning (if you were planning on calling her) or later (meet re new prospects for run). So go ahead with whatever you were planning, it will work my end.

WinterRat, ronin, bandit: did you have very much more of substance you wanted to go through in that discussion? Relative storyline "speeds" are starting to be a significant issue.

I'll get the karma awards up later, e-mail caught up after that, PMs cleared out after that, and shortly thereafter I'll try to consolidate the descriptions as given of the various SL NPC players. Then I'll get back to the webbing

Sedna- Nothing of substance. We were basically killing time till you got back I believe. Bandit, Ronin, correct me if I'm mistaken. Feel free to move us ahead as you see fit, per the earlier email reply I sent you.

I will update sometime this week. Life got a little busy.

Slip

For Alleycat searching/finding/dealing with people in the area, the rolls are on the bottom of p.55.

I'm consolidating status of Shadowland NPCs here. (The site map will eventually all be intuitive and all the links work, etc. etc, maybe by some day when I don't have another break-in.)

Heh, and don't anyone else feel pressured to write similar "stats" for their SL NPCs or anything; I'll just assume everyone's open and impossible to portray wrongly unless someone says otherwise. (Edit: Wait, that should be )

Karma awards for my players:

Shadowrunner13: 1 pt (Jun 15th - Jun 21st)
Ecclesiastes: 1 pt (Jun 15th - Jun 21st)
Bastard: 1pt (Jun 15th - Jun 21st)
Bclements: 1pt (Jun 15th - Jun 21st)
The Eyes: 1 pt (Jun 15th - Jun 21st)
Morgannah: 1 pt (Jun 15th - Jun 21st)

Right, that's the other thing I forgot to do!

Sunday karma (more or less):

bandit: 1 (+1 GM bonus) = 2
Sentinel: 1
tiredronin: 1
WinterRat: 1 (+1 GM bonus) = 2

Darn it Sedna, you beat me to it! After Daedalus's short post about the picture, i was thinking that exact thing, but I wanted to mull it over before posting. Now you've stolen my thunder!
