Hamagen--SHHHH!!! Just smile and nod, then take the karma and run before anyone looks too closely.

Buddha--With the commlinks from the hacker/rigger, can I get access into the node or will I need to hack it again? Also, are the patient files in the archive of material that I pulled off Dr. Takayasu's commlink? Let me know what rolls you need from me to piece together the bounty stuff, and to figure out IDs on Breeze and the comatose patient.

Hamagen yes I have no problem with you getting the award especially since PbP moves so slowly.

BishopMcQ you won't need to hack the node again with their links. You will find the information you need for the bounties. I will post the other information IC.

All I should have time tomorrow or Thursday at the latest to spot wrap up information such as gear found and money collected along with a big IC post to bump things along. Please post anything you want to look for or get done at the clinic before the scene switch.

Thanks!

Palming Role to hide the gear he is putting away from anyone who might be watching...

Palming (5) + Agility (4) = 9d6 = 4 hits

Did I roll the right skill? It is palming right?

Now I'm curious...

Perception 3 + Intuition 3 (6d6.hits(5)=3)

Guess I still don't know.

Another visual perception - Visual Enhancement(3) + Intuition(3) + Perception(3) (9d6.hits(5)=2)

Is she, uh...Yak-ish?

Why do I keep getting hit with the info that seeing it makes me a torture target?
Composure test -2 dumpshock (6d6.hits(5)=2)

Howdy all!

Money Owed
5k each (to hear the job) PAID
10k (for securing the clinic)
5k each (rescuing Emilio) PAID
5k bonus (from your Johnson for rescuing Emilio & getting him to join the team)

Bounties
500,000 Dr. Takayasu's head & heart
35,000 Final Notices on "patients"

Reposted that information to help wrap up the run.

Encrypting the downloaded files (having Agent spend the next 24 hours working on Strong Encryption) and attaching Data Bomb.

What was this for again? Sorry, it's been long enough I can't decipher the euphemism.

Fenris--All the bounty stuff was Cypher looking up alternate revenue streams. Basically I found a group of missing persons reports that offered rewards for information about the people or their final disposition. The "patients" were all kidnapped like Cypher and Breeze. I have the data and recordings of the extraction of Takayasu, her head and heart, to send off and secure some additional funds.

Sorry all - spaced the whole physical gear angle. I will post the list of things recovered tomorrow morning in my next block of free time.

@Buddha, BishopMcQ: Just checking that I understood correctly and that it was Heidi that came in for the blood filtration?

Assuming that Heidi doesn't need dialysis, would such a process scrub any markers that S-K might have placed in her bloodstream and is it likely that Eklipse has those same markers in his blood?

NotSoEvil--Yes, my post was referring to Heidi. If I'm putting the pieces together correctly, markers would be the least of the things she may have had cleansed.

Notsoevildm it wouldn't be the first time a corporation did such a thing to its employees.

Fenris and Buddha71,

I was assuming that by the time this Widget person came in Breeze was already gone, once he got his gear he would have made a hasty exit, would Widget have arrived before Breeze left? Are we playing it that he hasn't left the building yet?

He would have read that text from "Me" outside as he is walking away.

Hamagen time gets messy and sloppy in PbP games. My assumption was that after you played doctor it would have taken you some time to find all your gear and get it on. So you would be just preparing to leave when she arrived. That work for you ok?

Yup, just wanted to get the timing right before I posted anything.

First Aid on the Ork girl...

13d6 = 4 hits

I'm also reading the "Quick Healer" quality, am I understanding that it would apply to my First Aid rolls also?

Wording from book...
"The character receives a +2 dice pool modifier to all Healing Tests made on/for/by him, including magical healing."

If I do get 2 extra dice from that, I rolled them separately...

2d6 = 1 hit

Total of 5 hits (if the Quick Healer applies, 4 hits if it doesn't)

While Breeze wakes her up, she's getting a Mind Probe, force 4. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3576487/

Fat Man is looking to find out how closely she's affiliated with the Yakuza and if she knows anything about Heidi (while we're mind probing people, might as well be thorough).

Drain: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3576489/ + http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3576501/ (forgot the fetish, whoops) and that's 1S.

Got it - will post this afternoon. The contractor has suddenly moved up the completion date on the house so I need to run around this morning with my hair on fire to get some things going but I will be be back home and can post then.

Ok so I obviously did not get a chance to post today - it looks like the move is a go. I have another meeting with the contractor tomorrow morning to do the walk through. If that goes well then I will be posting very sparingly next week as we move. Sorry all but I will try to keep things moving as best I can.

Take your time and good luck with the move. ^_^

Hey all!

I move tomorrow morning and my internet should be turned on the same day so I should be able to get the game going again early next week. Have a great weekend all!

If we're going to be a regular team for awhile, are folks adverse to setting up a safehouse rather than renting by the week random sites?

Once Breeze is part of the team, he wouldn't mind setting up a safe house.

I'm fine with it too.

Eklipse would certainly appreciate a place to stash his runner gear.

If it gives Zerone an opportunity to spend more on magical gear, he will be more than happy to stay there. Seeing as his first home was a tube and his second a homeless shelter, he's perfectly fine with sharing a small living space.

Still knee deep in boxes y'all but should have my desk & computer set up by the weekend. Sorry for the delays. Don't forget your weekly 1 point of karma.

Sorry for being MIA for a bit. My job in South Korea finally wrapped up, and I'm getting ready to move back. I'll hopefully be posting more, but bear with me for a bit. I'm flying home in 2 weeks for a job interview, and should be back to my regular posting schedule in a bit.

I'M BAAAAACK!!

Thanks all for hanging in there while I was moving. Take your weekly 1 point of karma and can I get a sound off to make sure everyone is seeing me coming back and hopefully get this thread chugging along again.

Here.

Couple of questions on the payout:
The 10k for securing the clinic and the 5k bonus - is that each or total (about 3k each then assuming equally divided between Eklipse, Ayo, Zerone, Fatman and Cypher)?
And for the bounties, Cypher did the digging so in theory he has all the cash and can retire or is that also divided up (~100k if divided by 5, ~70k if we include Breeze and Emilio)?

Present!

Here. Again, just bear with me while I get all of my ducks in a row.

Notsoevildm sorry I should have posted that I listed payouts as each for ones that would be paid per person - the 10k and the 5k bonus is split up amongst the team. I checked with BishopMcQ and he is splitting the bounties with the team that begin the run as I understand it but I'll have him post to verify.

Aye, I'll be splitting the bounties with the team that rolled in with Cypher. You did a good job of distracting the guards, while I went all VR.

Breeze and Emilio will get cut in on the next paydata score, when they roll in with us from the beginning.

If we are in the gear claiming phase--I'd like the top end commlink. (Mine's not armored and the programs look cool.)
2nd pick is the Defiance Protector. (I can't use any of the big guns, and I don't melee so the Praetorian's a waste for me)

I believe the payouts look like:
13k each (Eklipse, Ayo, Zerone, Fatman and Cypher) from the Johnson/Aideen
107k each (Eklipse, Ayo, Zerone, Fatman and Cypher) for the Bounties -- This will take some time to wrap up on my end. Buddha let me know if there are rolls you need me to make.

Sounding off!

If we're in the claiming phase, I think the group should grab the Laes and the HERF gun, those are great "situational modifiers".

Does anybody know a mage with the Fashion spell? If anyone has a similar build, the GM has been known to allow use of the spell to modify the custom-fit mil-spec in small ways (such as converting it to be custom fit for someone else) and with the Mobility Enhancers, it could be usable for even the smalle Body people.

Eklipse would be interested in the TYPE 84B SMG and the other commlink. He still needs to get rid of a few items that tie him back to S-K, although he won't actually mention that to the rest of the group. The armor would possibly also be interesting but as it's fitted for a female, and given the current condition of his stun track, he would be unlikely to consider it.

Any medkits in there? Of the rating 6 variety? Please?

I'm actually sitting at a desk!

Yes sorry - forgot each exam room has a rating 6 medkit so feel free to add that to the loot list. So I think we're at the point where you all pick your loot and sell the rest? Let me know what you need.

Either of those commlinks are better than Fat Man's; if nobody else wants one he should probably take it.

Does anyone actually know Blades? The katana is not a bad idea to hold onto; some paracritters and infected are vulnerable to silver.

Eklipse can use blades, but he already has one. While it's not silver plated, it is a weapon focus.

I'll snag one of the R6 medkits in addition to the Type-84 SMG for Eklipse. If no-one else takes the katana he will pick it up, but only if it looks like it is a quality weapon and not a modern mass-produced sword. Not that he has the skills to tell the difference.

I'll grab a medkit, too. Don't think there's much else in there that I can use. I would have grabbed the top commlink just so I'm not the weak link in the system, but the hacker should have it.

A healthy influx of cash is always handy, though. Especially to buy new foci and spell formula/instruction. ^_^

Happy Monday y'all!

Take your weekly drip of 1 karma as usual. I need to know who is taking which commlink since I think we have 3 call outs but only 2 actually commlinks.

Eklipse the blade does appear to be a quality weapon opposed to one you would pick up in Chinatown at the annual "Want to be a Shadowrunner?" sale.

That look right to everyone?

Fat Man can have the second commlink. Eklipse will take the SMG, katana and a medkit.

All the unclaimed gear went back to the safehouse with Cypher.

NotSoEvilDM--Eklipse can have Cypher's old link after he wipes it. R6 across the board, but you'll need your own programs.

Buddha--Cypher will be using the proxy, with the agents on their standard gig of analyzing and redirecting traces. Do you need any dice rolls from me to turn over the paydata and collect the money?

BishopMcQ no rolls needed.

All I just need to know what you all are doing with the loot, if anything (selling or turning into a mobile, etc). I will put up a post to move things along tomorrow. Did you all want to take any downtime for anything or handle more complicated tasks around character development? Let me know.
