It's a structure, just large enough to hold a sarcophagus.

Thanks, that helps me get a better mental picture.

grendel, I just thought I'd give you a heads up that I will be unable to post from Apr 20 through Apr 27, since I'll be on vacation and in another country.

I suppose I'll have to add up my Karma and let Tenmou do some improvements in my absence...

Out of curiousity, given recent events, has Phoenix/Mioko moved up to a Level 3 contact?

After one night? No.

Initiative rolls for Todd and Tony please. Also, Todd, resist a 5M stun from the collision with the hound.

With what? My 1 Body? I take a M Stun.

Combat Paralysis = Init of 6

Ok, this sucks:




Please...be gentle

You can roll your combat pool to soak as well, you weren't surprised. Tony, it's your action. Range from you to the animal is four meters. Light is low-light.

In that case... 15 07 05 05 04 03 03 03 02 01 01

Soaked

Since I'm back, this time I lucked out. Thanks for the well-wishings, they're relevant and mean much

Sedna, glad everything worked out ok

grendel, thanks for the explanation. Rolling for quickdraw on the Browning Max Power in my pocket (TN4):

8, 4, 5. 3, 2, 3

Rolling for success on the pistol shot (using 3 from combat pool):

2, 10, 2, 5, 4, 3, 15, 4, 13, 3

Are we doing some sick version of Old Yeller?

If you were going to use the pistol you could spend a simple action to clear the weapon and one simple action to fire without the quickdraw test. In this case, you can fire a second time if you want to. Are you taking any cover while you engage the target?

Didn't know that part of it. And sure, when facing some unknown large dog, why not fire again? Oh yeah, not moving or taking cover.

If needed, rolls for a second shot (skill only):

3, 3, 5, 2, 4, 2, 4

EDIT: Also, if you want that I should post my IC actions up until firing the shot, then let me know.

You can post past the gunshots, you'll hit twice for M damage both times.

Tony: melee combat, you're looking at TN(6).

Rolling for melee we get:

4, 9, 5, 2, 3, 4

Hopefully, that doesn't net me a faceful of slobber from the dog.

Claw attack, actually, resist 6M physical with impact armor.

WinterRat-
FYI-
I don't know what the index or availability is, but Scrapheap would probably try to acquire some stim patches at this point. Unless the lack of sleep is just considered a little IC-flava.

Also, let me know if you need any rolls (to convince Megan, find the patches, etc).

Scrapheap- You won't need rolls to find the stim patches, but you'll need to make the call and then find the time to pick them up or get them delivered.

Ok, Tony's got on a securetech longcoat (-2 to Impact), rolling body and remaining combat pool:

7, 1, 7, 2, 1, 9, 1, 5

That's a light physical, the dog manages to get a claw on you and scratches up your longcoat as well. Your action.

How far is this dog away from me now?

Inside arms length.

Rolling Unarmed Combat:

5, 4, 8, 3, 2, 5

I'm trying to kick the snot out of this thing.

WinterRat- Would that call be to a fixer contact? If so, we've never finalized who that would be for Scrapheap.

Ahem. Working on that contact database. Priority numero uno after this friday. For that though, you could probably get it through the gang almost as easily. They aren't that hard to come by.

Ahh yes tax season is almost over...except for all of those extensions.

Cedric:
I wanted to state that your posting between the electronics store and the club is a great example of PC initiative. I enjoy that you took the story within your own hands and I look forward to such initiative in the future. I will be posting something for you at this point

Knight:
I haven't forgotten you either and will be posting for you soon as well.

Notice
I apologize for my recent slowness in posting. My senior honors thesis is due this coming Friday and I am currently pulling my hair out trying to pull everything together in time, while still studying for final exams. After next Friday things will become infinitely easier for me and I will be a much better GM and PC at that point. Thanks for your understanding

Good luck, bandit

That reminds me: seriously behind in assigning karma this week, so I'll pull a WinterRat™ and hand it out for two weeks this coming Sunday.

WinterRat-
The gang would work, but I'm trying to wait to talk to them until after I meet with Twiggy. Just in case I need to hire some muscle.

What about my Doctor friend? He is located not too far away from the current location (Redmond General).

I do not know the rules for lack of sleep, so I don't really know if this is needed and/or will help.

The doc will work fine.

Tony, Todd, you're out of combat, post as desired.

Apologies to Sedna for borring some of her shadowtalker's names. If I used any of 'em wrong let me know and I'll change it.

I'll say here what I say to everyone: go for it! It's going to make life a bit more complicated for one of those involved, but that's life in the shadows, after all. (If you're curious, I'll say this much: at least one of those names turned up in someone's storyline. Beyond that, if you're still curious: the browser "Find" function is a Good Thing.)

Grendel: I'm gunna boot the system and see whats up with it. If it checks out, I'll then plug the chip I've got into it and see if the chip reacts to being inside the deck. I'll toss you a computer roll just in case.

14 11 09 09 08 05 05 05 05 04 04 03 03 02 01 01

Ettiquite roll (wow, who knew I'd actually be using that skill for what it was intended--fitting in!):

04 04 03

hm. Oh well, we'll see how badly he screws up in time, I guess. Next time I'm stuck with no idea how to proceed I've definately got to stop *thinking* so damn much; it's a flaw I share with my character.

@ Sedna: Heh. Considering the name I guess the content was a little... off, maybe? Ah well; here's hoping the person't life I complicated doesn't come after me.

Off? I prefer to think of it as adding dimension to an NPC's personality

Heh, I'd just noticed that everything in SotA 2063 was supposedly posted on 05 January 2063 at 08:40:37 PST.

Sunday karma (two weeks worth)

bandit: [April 4-10] 1 + 1 (GM bonus) + [April 11-17] 1 + 1 (GM bonus) = 4
WinterRat: [April 4-10] 1 + 1 GM bonus + [April 11-17] 1 + 1 (quality) + 1 (GM bonus) = 5

Sunday karma (two weeks worth)

Cedric: [April 4-10] 1 + [April 11-17] 1 + 1 (quality bonus) = 3
Moirdyrd: [April 4-10] 1 + [April 11-17] 1 = 2

Er, Morgannah, grendel? It's Tuesday

Well so it is!

Uhmm .. *whispers to grendel* .. hey, boss. What are we supposed to do on Tuesday?

Got it. Hehehehe.

Why, Tuesday is Salisbury steak day!

Sorry. Edited.

All right. In the interest of saving a bit of rp time I've summarized very broadly in the thread that Cos is asking questions about how things are run at FTL Matrixware.

Specifically, she's looking for information on security protocols, how well the regular guards are armed, and what sort of physical security is available in case of an emergency. She's chatting him up as charmingly as possible but making sure that he offers the information himself and not as a result of her questions. If it's possible to get a bit of information about the interior of the building to suppliment the data from her blueprints without seeming too obvious, she'll do that as well.

Interrogation check (defaulting to Cha with Good Looking and Knows it as a modifier):

2.4.5.5.8.11.

I really miss pheremones. (Hehehe, )

Hey cool! Karma!

Just a quick (series of) question(s), Grendel. Since your post was edited after I turned in for the night.

What is the common wisdom for dealing with this automated pattern-recognition system when one doesn't have matrix backup? I've made a point of familiarizing myself with rigged security systems but I don't know much at all about the other side. Does it work on a similar level or should Cos have ordered a rosary with the rest of her new equipment?

Security Countermeasures:
2.2.5.8.9.13.

I think I'm copying the way you asked that "quick (series of) question(s)", Morgannah, since it pretty well describes the way all my LitS-related e-mails seem to be coming out

You like that, hmm?

I prefer to think of it as "getting into character" .. sneakiness is important, you know.
