Dalma is always interested in learning more about the spirits, she has 9 dice to play with, so it might take a while to learn what the pact is all about.

Personally, OOC wise I don't care one way or the other.

Fenris--Don't forget to post the commlink stats.

Team--Do you want me to push you on to the milk run?

im good although i think the mojo might want to get a cash value for those items before we start.

Those items do not have a fixed price tag, that's the problem with getting that.

Thanee

If the desire is to sell them you have two options:
--Take 10k for each relic and run
--Coordinate with a personal buyer (Fixers can handle the legwork). Higher payout, higher risk.

The reagents (vials) you can sell without any problem. (Again, selling direct will yield a higher payout than fencing them)

OK let's have Dalma do the research to unlock the box's secrets and we can all hit the streets setting up better buyers for the other items and asking around with contacts about the run or the other shadow runner team.

IC post to move things along - hope that's ok all.

I'm all for taking a little extra time to get you guys more cash. Doesn't help me, but my characters willing to take the long view, and you guys are helping me out by just taking me along.

Jenni's Commlink
Battle Buddy Basic (Signal and Response upgraded to 6)
Novatech Navi (System and Firewall upgraded to 6)

Browse, Analyze, Command, Encrypt, Purge, Edit, and Scan all at 4.

I vote: Sell the regents, keep the relics.

All: Ok. I have stats for all the comlinks now. I show Dalma and Jenni and using manual interfaces, though Dalma also has image link. I'll drop an upgrade plan soon.

Thanee: How does Siren use the Sensei?

Anyone with Security Systems, Procedures, etc can roll if they are listening to the conversation.

Security Procedures(2) + Logic(4) + Mnemonic Enhancer(2) [3,2,5,5,5,2,3,6] = 4 hits

Redjack--The setup sounds like a burn room. Commonly used when a corporation would rather destroy something than have it fall in the hands of a competitor. It can also be used for storage of dangerous objects and samples that pose a threat to the greater good--microbial contagions, viruses, etc.

To clarify - Olethros doesn't have the medical skills to think of using the relic to spread a live culture vaccine without injecting it or as someone mentioned via text, using it to infect everyone to give civil rights to ghouls.

I can definetly do that, but am I understanding correctly that...



Means I need to get 40 hits and every time I roll it is an interval of 1 day?

If I understood that correctly it might take a long time I have 9 dice to play with.

You can also choose to do a Teamwork test with Father. He has a pool of 12. (One of you rolls your pool and hits add dice to the other's roll)

Sorry Redjack, I forgot to mention extra pieces:

Trode 'net (in the cowboy hat), Image link, and Skinlink.

Having Admin access to the commlink, you'll probably also quickly realize she's not running a fake ID, and she's licensed for several restricted weapon systems as a Paranormal Security Specialist for the Double Box-Bar Ranch in CAS-controlled Texas.

So let's start the rolls for the box deciphering then and people can do legwork/hit up contacts?

Works for me. Toss me on whatever you've got for a physical recon team.

Alright doing a Teamwork test with Father

Father
Arcana (6) + Logic (6) = 12d6

Dalma
Arcana (4) + Logic (5) = 9d6

Took 12 intervals total
1st 5 Hits
2nd 4 Hits
3rd 3 Hits
4th 1 Hit
5th 2 Hits
6th 5 Hits
7th 1 Hit
8th 6 Hits
9th 6 Hits
10th 2 Hits
11th 2 Hits
12th 3 Hits

So....12 days later?

Was I supposed to be doing all the rolls at once like this? Or should I be doing it one interval at a time?

Ignore my double post

Just a heads up - I am moving next week so my posting will be sporadic during that time but I will try to make sure I don't hold things up. Feel free to puppet me if needed.

Alright--

So as to move the legwork along, anyone who is physically casing the building please toss out a Perception Test. If you are asking around, toss out an Etiquette test and the contact/network you're using.

If you are selling the reagents please give me the name and connection rating of the Fence/Fixer/Talismonger that you are going through.

Am I able to see all that talking in the TeamNet thing?

I know I got invites to "TeamNet ARO" but not sure what that means exactly.

double post...again, i apparently i lag

It means exactly that you get and can reply to those messages.

Thanee

I wasn't entirely sure, if everyone is in the same room... hence the texting.

A little back in this game are the results of Papa's first physical recon and matrix penetration. He will be candid about all aspects, including the security guard's comlink. I'm ready for a second whenever.

Heads up: I am at scout camp this week. Back on the grid strong on Sunday, spotty until then.

Here's the intel for HSE that Papa pulled before:

Hollywood Simsense Entertainment Located in San Bernadino, HSE is a broad scale software clearinghouse and producer of low-end sim flicks. It's believed that they are also a front for BTL sales with a regular clientele of junkies and gangers. HSE has known Koshari ties, but the PCC leaves them alone for internal reasons. They have a 10,000 sq ft outlet store with viewing rooms and test hardware to configure software. The staff is knowledgeable and a good resource for sim-module modifications when a little extra signal is needed. (READ: Hot Sim modification) They are under contract with PuebSec and prosecute shoplifters to the full extent.

Hollywood Simsense is housed in a two-story building with a parking lot that holds around fifty cars when full. Across the street, a strip mall offers easy parking for your van to see the front of the building. Circling around the block, the back side of the building has delivery vans and a loading dock for two semis though none are parked at the moment.

You can see cameras around the building and a card reader on the personnel door near the delivery van. Beyond the front and rear doors, there are fire escape doors on the sides of the building.

At the time Papa scanned, there were two hidden nodes. One belonged to an employee of Watanabe Security Consultants.

Thanee/Saytr-- Anything?

How do you handle Legwork? i.e. if Siren wants to find a buyer for the relic, or infos on HSE?

Bye
Thanee

Do you have a contact that would be appropriate? If so, an Etiquette test with them. You can also do Friends of Friends and ask them to shake their networks. If neither of the above, you can try to make a new contact--approach someone with the info you need. This one has the widest variety of skills to use, since your approach will dictate a lot.

What would I need to roll to find out what would destroy that rabbit's foot? is it just simply crushing and burning it? or does it need to be dis-enchanted?

It's a stuffed rabbit, stuffed animal not taxidermy. An Arcana roll could be used to find methods to destroy it, or you could just try other methods.

For those not here before, it is a stuffed rabbit with a missing eye and scorch marks.

I have a Fixer and a Talismonger as contacts.

Not really specialized in artifacts/relics, of course, but at least the general direction. Maybe they know someone who could be interested.

My first approach would be going through them. And if that does not bear fruit, I would try to find a new contact (potential buyer).

Thanee

Wow! What a week. The heat was killer, glad to be back in AC.

An ARO is an Augmented Reality Object. Something that appears like a tangible object in AR, but does not really exist. In this case, it is an invitation to the TeamNet. TeamNet is like a conference call on steroids: It includes video feeds, audio feeds, documents, GPS feeds, etc.. As Bishop mentioned, kinda like a TacNet, but no tactical advice (or bonus dice).

Thanee--Toss out their Connection Ratings, and an Etiquette test for whichever one you're calling.

I will start with the Talismonger (Connection 2 / Loyality 2).

Charisma (9) + Etiquette (4) + Streed Cred (8) -> 10 hits

Bye
Thanee

Still knee deep in boxes y'all but should have my desk & computer set up by the weekend. Sorry for the delays. BishopMcQ I'm going to try and contact Teleute (3/3) somewhere themed to her (hospice, ER, junkie den, etc) & ask about what was stolen from them.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I have been out of town on a business trip and didn't have much time to do any forum reading.

To try to find out how to destroy the Rabbit's Foot safely...

Arcana (4) + Logic (5) = 9d6 = 2 hits

Thanee--remember, normally you get 30% of the value when fencing goods. This way you could get up to 50%.

Hamagen--the item itself doesn't look very sturdy. Given the security it was in before, fire would be the place to start.

When you look at it that way...

You are right, of course. I edited my post a bit.

I'M BAAAAAACK!

Move is done though I still live in the land of boxes but we're in our storage unit and happy. So what do we need to get things bumping along again? I'm eager to be RPing y'all!

I'm back as well (also having dug myself out from under the walls of boxes). I think there's a Perception check that was called for the physical recon on HSE, which is the team I believe I tossed myself on?

Base Perception: Perception(3) + Intuition(4) (7d6.hits(5)=2)

Visual Enhancement (if applicable): Visual Enhancement(3) (3d6.hits(5)=1)

Audio Enhancement (if applicable): Audio Enhancement(3) (3d6.hits(5)=2)

Also have vision mag and ultrasound.

I'll find an inconspicuous spot to survey from the strip mall, and I'll try and find a legitimate reason for stalling for a couple of hours. Long shopping trip, lunch, coffee, manicure, something like that. I want to try and get a snapshot of info from different time periods during the day.

Is anyone going with the cowgirl on her recon?

When is she leaving and would I be back yet? I would go to scope the place out.

Anyone who wants to go can. I was just hoping to post all the legwork for HSE in one go.

I believe that Dalma will be working on that formula for the next two weeks right? So she wouldn't be going...

Speaking of legwork... anything specific we still need to find out?

Bye
Thanee

Papa will accompany, taking time during the drive to work on lifestyle hacking.

Recon Team--Toss out any more rolls you are going to make. Perception, Kn: Security Systems. It sounds like everyone is staying outside of the building, let me know if someone plans on going inside to look around.

To echo Thanee, is there specific information you are looking for from the recon that you don't have yet? It feels like the game is stalling out because there is no clear plan on how you are hitting HSE.
