Did we have a last name for Adam and what/who he's affiliate with?

You can clearly hear the sound of traffic coming through the line. "Hey, on my way home but I have some info on that address you gave me. The home is owned by a small company called Zembu. It's a small software firm that builds custom databases for 3rd party companies. There's no one name on the property. I didn't ask our deckers to take a look into it any deeper since I didn't want to expalin where I got the info." You can hear the faitgue in his voice and the sublte shift of noise of highway to city street traffic. "The 'Adam' fella you decribed matches up with a guy by the name of Michael Nelson. We came across his name while checking into the Body Bag, he's renting out the place for some S & M super party. He has no active files with us. He was born in Germany but doesn't seem to stay put for very long. He has a few degree from over seas in paranormal psychology. He works as a free lance consultant and public speaker. Please tell me something in that helps?"

That was from Paladin's contact in Lone Star.

I will be out of town starting this weekend and won't be back until the following weekend. Hope you all have a great week and will post the Monday after I get back.

Assensing the ward for type and strength. Also actively going to try and pierce masking for any hidden or alarm wards.

Hi all, I am back in the saddle again!!

Blitz
Roll me some dice for the social test.

Fenris
You know the ward around the house is an alarm ward. It's Force 10 ward.

Weekly karmic love as usual.

I am still waiting for Blitz to throw some social dice for me then I can move forward. You folks on watch duty wanting to do anything else?

What kind of delivery van was it? General, or from a specific company?

Im sorry, with my sister and Sade in town, I've been swamped. Dont want to hold us up so will you roll for me?

No biggie, bumped the thread. Sorry for the delay but I was helping a friend move furniture today so I was dragging.

Hi all, it's Monday so record the karma for this week. Ok, I am going to bump the thread tomorrow morning to bring the group together again so post for anything else you want to do.

Comments? People still interested in the thread? Any problems? Let me know, since I am doing this for your enjoyment.

Still interested, just pulling recon right now. Feel free to bump the thread, unless somethings happening during our recon phase.

Having a blast babe! LOVE the Red Queen! Almost wish I'd change

Ok with the team back together I am going to let you all plan and chat so I know where to take the thread next. So plan and plot, let me know what you need.

Just glad to be back in the seat with Paladin again.

It's Monday again boys and girls. At this point its all you folks, I need input for what you want to do next. Skills, contacts, etc. Let me know.

As I posted, I think we need a few hours to condense information and see what Iblis can dig up for us to work with.

What's everyone think?

Sounds good to me. Paladin is kinda at a loss for where to go now, social stuff isn't his strong point.

Murrey needs to retrieve the trackers he ordered from his contact.

Ok all -

I need some plan from all of you in this thread. I got that Murrey is going to hit his contact for gear ordered. I don't want to make this thread where I always make you react. I want some action to come from you all, I want it to be interactive. So let's see your actions/skills/contacts here.

Calling Winter, giving her the info on Adam (and his real name), Madam Yen, and the Body Bag itself, along with Adam's company.

I need some skill rolls Fenris, throw me some Etiquette dice please.

Ok happy Monday again, do the usual drip of karma. I just need to know if the rest of you are doing anything else right now. Let me know.

Ok it's late evening early morning I believe. What's your plan exactly? Watching the club, etc?

ps No biggie on the posting.

Well, being that its later in the evening than I thought, I'll likely go in and check things out. But first I wanted to get some info on what is going on outside before I bother going in.

If possible, I'll try to slide inside, but not if it means I have to bump the door.

Ok all, I am heading out of town on a mini-vacation tomorrow and I'll be back on Thursday afternoon. I'll bump then and Ecclesiastes, for the record, Paladin did slip in. I'll post that on Thursday. Ciao all!!

I'll continue tracking her through the building, trying to get a feel for her and see if I can listen in on any bussiness deals. I'll throw in another stealth check, just for the heck of it.

Stealth: 13 07 05 03 03 03 02 02 01 01 (+12)

It was just a lucky roll on my part, was rolling perpection each time you threw out a new stealth roll.

FYI - the rest of the team receives the text message from Murrey.

Just in case you want an Etiquette roll...

If its street, add on: 05 01

*note: no ACTUAL hair on my chin, thank you!

That's foregoing the typical just slightly more paranoid than healthy route and taking the swiftest one. Will worry about tails, shadows and interlopers on the flip-flop.

Come on Buddha, don't get us all excited and then leave us with no updates for days! Thats just mean!
