I'm ok with skipping the role playing part of acquiring the equipment, but I would like to keep track of what you are getting and how you are getting it (credit or favor). It would be nice if there would be a quick IC post recapping it. For example, "After 20 minutes of making connections and shopping around, we were able to get all the necessary equipment." Something along those lines.

No problem.

Just seeing if you guys are still out there? Saw the IC posts by BlackHat, and now that most of the cards are out on the table, I was hoping things would be picking up in pace.

Yep, am also waiting for the rest to catch up.

Did you come up with gear you might be looking for on Renewal?

Yeah, I think the next step is to finalize Ahab's gear, then move into the caves unless anyone thinks it makes more sense to chase Mudlark's death, instead. I think going after that family would be more likely to give us answers, but would also be a lot more risky - especially since they saw her farcaster burn up her body before they could do whatever they planned, and probably expect that she would get resleeved and tell someone.

Still here, fell off the map with a nasty patch of work and a relocation. Back in the saddle.

In the absence of a super nose I think the caves are the right move.

Extendable Baton
Submachine Gun (Railguns)
Laser Pulser
Shredder
EMP Grenades

Body Armor (Heavy) w/ Chameleon Coating, Fireproof, Self-Healing, Thermal Dampening

Superthermite Charges
Breadcrumb Positioning System
Electronic Rope
Flashlight
Repair Spray
Nanobandage

That should cover the basic needs and is all in the Trivial/ Low/ Moderate area cost-wise. Anything else I might have forgotten and none of the other PCs have?

MOAR DAKKA.

What's up?

Sorry, works been crazy, then I was on vacation. I'll try to get to your list of items soon.

Much appreciated.

Ugh, work's kicking my tail. I am throwing this out there for now:

Extendable Baton - Found
Submachine Gun (Railguns) - Need to Network to find
Laser Pulser - Need to Network to find
Shredder - Need to Network to find
EMP Grenades - Need to Network to find

Body Armor (Heavy) w/ Chameleon Coating, Fireproof, Self-Healing, Thermal Dampening - Need to Network to find
Superthermite Charges - Jonah can help with now that he has access to mining folks
Breadcrumb Positioning System - Found
Flashlight - Found
Repair Spray - Found
Nanobandage - Found

So basically the weapons are going to require a little work to find. Since you have a lot of items, I'm assuming you will be using credits to acquire what you do end up getting? Renewal will use both favors or credits.

Again, sorry to not being more on top of things. I will try to find more time in my weeks to dedicate to our game.

Did I post my char sheet anywhere around here?

Second post in this thread? Jump back to page 1. I think that's what you're looking for.

Quick post - still here.

I'm still here as well. I was waiting on Grinder to roll some Netowrking to see if he is able to locate the above items (with the exception of the items I wrote "found" next to). Grinder, if your character really needs those items, please make the rolls, otherwise I'll move on.

I'm around as well, and ready to move on when everyone else is. If necessary, Ahab could ask the other agents to help him network and find some of these items before we head out (rather than making all the calls, himself).

I'm ok with that. Whatever helps speed things up.

Still here too. Haven't taken the reins on throwing up the next post because of some uncertainty of what's happening next and some tough work schedules (no rest for the wicked). Let me know if there's an IC push that should be made.

Still haven't seen anything about rolling to acquire some of the equipment. I said I would finish this and not fall through like some of the Shadowrun stuff. Think we should just make a made dash to the end and only roll for really important things (i.e. combat, hacks, important data searches, etc.)?

Shall we just pay for the stuff and assume we rolled high on the Networking Test?

I'm not sure what to do for future test. I'm just trying to figure out a way to move things along a bit quicker. So as far as the equipment requested, here is what we will do:

Extendable Baton - Found
Submachine Gun (Railguns) - Not Available
Laser Pulser - Found
Shredder - Not Available
EMP Grenades - Found

Body Armor (Heavy) w/ Chameleon Coating, Fireproof, Self-Healing, Thermal Dampening - Not availalbe, but did find normal Body Armor (Heavy).
Superthermite Charges - Jonah can help with now that he has access to mining folks (Found with Jonah's help)
Breadcrumb Positioning System - Found
Flashlight - Found
Repair Spray - Found
Nanobandage - Found

Dr. C can cover the cost, but asks the the team use some of their funds or rep for some of them.

Another alternative (maybe the one you used) would be to just roll for him, but either way, we can try moving on. Dr. E would be happy to put some of his rep on the line (or to wire some funds) to make sure we have the gear we need to accomplish the mission (which sounds dangerous now that we know we've lost a member to hostiles). I've got him at 14,850 credits, and rep with the autonomists, firewall and hypercorps (and really good rep with scientists). He's called in a minor favor already to get the Spare morph, but he should have more clout to throw around as needed. When I get home tonight I'll try to cross reference the costs of those items with the rep necessary to obtain them and see who else might need to call in some favors (probably Ahab).

Added Prices:



For the sake of moving things along, Dr. E would be willing to call in more favors to help get some of this stuff (which would take 3 Level 1 favors, 2 level 2 favors, 2 level 3 favors, and a level 4 favor) with whichever networks can help, but he'd appreciate if Ahab covered as many of the favors as he can (anyone know if his sheet is posted?) and he won't complain if other people are willing to call in favors too (Dr. C will apparently cover some of the costs, as well, but I don't know how much).

Right, sorry I've been away for a few weeks, it was the.... ponies.... so cute....

Anyway. I'll chuck in an IC post later today, when I get round to reminding myself I'm an insane robot with no fourth wall.
