Nova, reporting in!


Appearance:

Tatjana is of average height with a slender and well-toned body. The shapely redhead is quite easy on the eyes. Her hair is at shoulder-length and usually worn in a ponytail, with a few strands framing a pretty face with green eyes. Her right arm is half-cybernatic, from the elbow down. She wears one striking piece of jewelry at all times, a pentacle pendant with a gemstone in the center.

Bye
Thanee

Red Five Crispy standing by!

Crap, remembered that we had no contacts from last mission

I hereby invoke the Rule of CHARISMA x 2 in contact points ... go make friends !

Good, that I have a decent Charisma.

Contacts will likely come from Tatjana's mercenary background.

Let's see...

Sanchez, Dealer (Aztlan) 4/1

A lean and mean Aztlaner who deals in military goods, some drugs and information. As long as the money is good, he will hold up his end of the deals, which are as shady as they get.

Trish, T-Bird Smuggler (Aztlan/UCAS Border) 2/1

Hailing from Texas, Trish is a tough mercenary girl that got into the lucrative smuggling business, using an old T-Bird to run the border.

Bye
Thanee

can you all PM me an email address so I can send you a dropbox share invite for char sheets and other game related stuff

I promise not to send it to any Nigerian Princes in my contacts list

*******************EDIT******************
IC post up, feel free to begin the intros (again)

feel free to ad lib as if you know each other those that have played briefly, no need to rehash every detail in full.

yo guys, seems I will be joining your company.

Welcome!

Bye
Thanee

Welcome to the team! As you're new, you'll want to note that the character known as "Crispy" is the heart and soul of this group, a natural leader with the smarts and physical prowess to overcome any problem. The others in the team, notably Nova and Hammerson, have come to rely extensively on Crispy's amazing skills and ability, and they look up to him in almost all areas of their jobs...

We only look up to see where the rockets are flying to. When you have made new friends.

and welcome Raiden

Whether or not that makes Crispy our resident missile magnet is something every new member has to find out by him/her/itself, of course...

TEEEPEEE !!! Yay !

Dakka's back!


Well played sir, well played <slow clap>

Although...you ARE admitting that Hammerson looks up to Crispy, even if in these limited circumstances. He'll take that as a sign

Aaand, you wonder why Hammerson took the OTHER team ???
I was going for the "Don't want to be accused of favouritism!" but yours is more realistic

:'(

Is this going to be another bug hunt sir?

Awwww .. he misses you too, but has asked Ricoh to pay you a little extra special attention,
knowing how delicate a little flower you are

only in your rations soldier !

I've never seen a holographic woman manage to look ..awkward .... till now !

or maybe it was just a glitch in the connection that made her right eye seem to twitch uncontrollably

maybe ..

it could be the beer talking, but I just laughed my butt off at this.The visual of her eye twitching...

BTW, "manicure" is the care (lat. cura) of the hands (lat. manus).

Bye
Thanee

I knewthat, as I was writing, I just had a complete block from my feminine side for the correct word so went with the nearest masculine equivalent

can you spell pedantic ?

**EDIT**
Raiden can I ask you to kill signatures in IC posts please my friend, I like the reference but makes it easier for me to read

thanks

Well, if you'd happen to be of the descriptive persuasion as far as linguistics is concerned, "manicured eybrows" is perfectly OK, notwithstanding the fact that it's a horribly stupid construction if you know latin.

Overhearing the Conversation currently, Sgt Hammer is satisfied he has selected the correct team

"bunch of Pedantic Beauty Queens, Penis extensions and rocket magnets ! .. they'll never survive Seattle, let alone Bogotá!!"

oh nooo, I just realized that the nickname "TP" won't be around for Brian yet. It was so perfect...

Someone's gotta come up with a nickname for Brian stat!

@Thanee
ask and ye shall receive IC Post up, mission is set

discuss and have queries ready for SGT Ricoh on his return,

I am not big on the whole drone stuff. still haven't messed with a lot of the hacker stuff though I am in the process of playing one, but I am assuming there are basically autosofts or some form of program thereof that are equivalent to auto pilot.

Yeah, we could reach out to contacts to borrow some autosofts or whatnot I guess...the VTOL craft probably has a decent pilot program, I'm just thinking what happens if there's some kind of chase scene with it

speaking of contacts, I need to decide on Crispy's...

that's the fun part, getting into sticky situations. so far longshot has two, an arms dealer (old merc capt. and the matrix girl, also from the old company). the biggest thing would be to find it in tact and flyable though lol. still the reward if we got it would be worth the risk IMO.

by the way longshot is an ork, but looks fairly much like a human.

sorry, I just now read this. I will edit them out of my posts and keep em out from here on out.

alright there we go.

Crispy's got the Armorer skill at a total dicepool of 9, any chance this ammo from Longshot would fit or could be somehow altered to fit Crispy's Ares Predator? I'm pretty sure it's not realistic in real life to be able to swap ammo like that, but who knows maybe in SR world...

...oh wait, you don't have Crispy's char sheet yet do you? Uh, I meant his Armorer dicepool was 15

no I do not have it yet ... email Chummer files, for ... backup purposes .. MWUAHAHAH (mach.ten@live.com)
that goes for all playes actually, I'll load HTML version into dropbox from there, easy peasy
make sure they are FINALISED


it is actually kinda realistic, that's why we currently have Nato standard sizes, (there are other reasons around lethality and battlefield casualties etc. but that's boring)

in SR world, they fall under heavy pistol ammo and should be transitional,

Not being funny, but I don't see an ammo reloading bench around here, unless that's whats in your pants ! (or are you just that pleased to see us)

VISUAL & AUDIO PERCEPTION checks ALL round please folks, make one roll, of the best variety (This has NOTHING to do with Crispy's pants, for our sanity sake)

Going with audio then, seeing as I didn't give Brian any bonuses to seeing stuff.

11 dice yield 4 hits



Wheew, was getting worried whether you can voluntarily fail a test.

<<@Derick[Babette]: So, you don' call Babette for weeks an now you is askin' for de favours mon? Maaan you is all kindsa' drekked in da head !
I'm in de Jazz club now, whats' so hot you gonna make me miss my smoothness jus' fo yo sorry tail?>>

Make a Negotiation+loyalty roll for me please,
let's see how inclined to help out at short notice she is, her favourite Jazz band is on in a few minutes and she's not for leaving without good reason.

Perception 5 hits

Bye
Thanee

cool! Learn something new every day...raw pasty civilian that I am. I'll add the ammo to the sheet (about 2 clips worth he said, so I'll say 30?)




Visual perception: 10d6 = 3 hits

editted IC for you

perception roll. 4 perception + 4 int + 3 visual enhance. (+3 audio as well, meh)



roll for babette deafualting negotiation 3-1 + loyalty 3= 5

<< @Derick[Babette]: I see what it is ai can do for ya mon, Me smoothness, he not dat great no more anyhow.
gives Babette an hour on de Trix' an ai gets you sumfink tasty like .. Den latah, we can talk all quiet about favours, ya scan? >>

It seems you have wangled back into her good graces, feel free to IC up how you managed that piece of magic

I'll edit up the IC with your perception, asap.

apologies, I have re read your emails and Mai is supposed to be oriental, I've gone slightly jamaican / haiitian by mistake, but I can't get it out of my head now... if you don't mind ?
call it GM's crazy global accent dyslexia

new thing, she switches personality chips every so often this time its a Jamaican like one. (lets just say the chips make her act more like the race like speaking, writing, food taste and music taste, stuff like that. like that idea? lets you play out w/e ya feel like and be viable. and gimme a bit, I am going to have to make it a good one cuz that was indeed a magical role lol.

Sensor test for the iball please

And stealth for it too

I was worried about the low perception of the iball, only 5 dice...shouldn't have been worried though
Sensor(5) = 4 hits

Hehehe - and that's what I get for bragging
Infiltration: Pilot(3) = 0 hits
AND a critical, critical failure - rolled 1,1,1

I'm sure you'll think up something appropriate Mach - you're our only hope!

Well done, the sensors tell you ....oh......oh dear.

You just made my day

acting!



Just emailed you the char sheet for Crispy. Probably better I hadn't done that yet, or you'd have done something with the iBall's smoke bomb...

got it thx

I'm sure I can save that little nugget of information for a later date, any other little gems I should know about ?

IC is up, : META Looking around you reckon that the other teams will have a plan soon and be gearing up to leave within the hour,

the other two sergeants seem to be conversing but no one is coming to say hi to Ricoh, they also seem to be gearing up for a tag along with their teams, maybe just to "Keep Score" ? but the back of your hummer only has the kit in IC,

I have uploaded mine to that dropbox thingie.

Bye
Thanee

Cheers Thanee, got it

does anyone else have a tacsoft?
