I'll make the adjustment.

It's also time for me to bug everyone again about how the game is going, any changes you want, thoughts, feedback...

HeySparky
Good stuff. I'm all back from the Holidays. Didn't make it out of round 2 of my competition. Ah well, next time, maybe.

Ready to roll.

McQ - I think we floundered too long on how to best follow up our leads. Happens with players who are new to one another with no established leader to pick from everyone's suggestions.

Over time we'll work that out - I hope. smile.gif


Johnson
MCQ, you discription is correct of the tranformation.
BishopMcQ
Sparky--Sorry to hear you didn't make it through round 2. If you don't mind sharing again, I'd love to see your second story though...
HeySparky
McQ -- what sort of check to remember the names of any of the Chateaus pictured in Ballefour's place?

BishopMcQ
Int Check, with any extra dice supplied by mnemonic enhancers if you've got them.

Or anyone with a photographic Memory that was in the room could answer questions for you.
Ecclesiastes
Bishop already mentioned that he video recorded everything in the house for his records.
HeySparky
Bishop -- I didn't recall that he'd recorded everything.

Cool.
BishopMcQ
Let's hear it for teamwork...
Ecclesiastes
Yay for cybered opticam and hearing recorder! smile.gif
BishopMcQ
Welcome back everybody from another long weekend. Let's keep the ball rolling and the game moving. I've heard the call go out for a decker, what info is being sought and is Debian being called?
Ecclesiastes
*starts wishing he'd played a Decker so he'd feel more usful*
Tanka
Debian will be on it.

Oi. I've been re-hooked by the Fallout series.

Must... Make... Willpower check!
Johnson
I know the feeling about fallout. I have all 3 releases. It is still an epic to play.
Ecclesiastes
McQ: All you told me is that the flight left NYC, but not where it was headed. Any help?
BishopMcQ
Headed to Geneva. Sorry.
Bastard
hello?
HMHVV Hunter
I'm here; anyone else?
HeySparky
Here.

What are finals/holidays and all that stuff for alla youse like?
HMHVV Hunter
It's busy, but not so busy I can't post on this game. I just haven't lately because there's nothing for me to post until we land and start tailing this guy.
BishopMcQ
I'm here as always, waiting for the team to make decisions and lay out a plan IC.
Ecclesiastes
Sorry for my lag in posting, my mom just had surgery and I had to take care of her while my dad is out of town.
Johnson
I am here until wednesdaqy next week then I am on leave. The story teller has to take Tiny into NPC untill 3 Jan next year.
Bastard
McQ

Has Belafour already left to Geneava? Or is he planning to leave?


Team

If he has already left...why dont we skip New York and cut him off at Geneava
toturi
Yeah, let's go Geneva. But do we have the cash? I know I've only a little cred left.
BishopMcQ
Bastard--If you are to believe Christopher Robbin, Ballefour got on a plane and went to Geneva under the alias Mr. Jordan
Bastard
I dont have any money


Team? should we go to Geneava....or maybe half the team stop in NYC and double check...and the rest continue onto Geneva?
HeySparky
I'm a little leery of just rabbiting across the ocean on a tip. Maybe we can get Debian to do a deeper check on CR and see if he can dig up any security checkpoint data (pictures, passport scans, finger prints, whatever - some way to ID Ballefour) under the name Jordan. Toturi?

*also wishes she'd made a decker* smile.gif
HeySparky
There you go, Ecclesiastes. smile.gif
Tanka
Sorry about that. My video card fried at a LAN party and had to wait for a replacement to arrive. Figured I'd do a reformat in "celebration" of its arrival, as it was about time.

Give me a bit to put all my stuff from backup back on the HDD and get everything up-to-date, then I'll be here.

What about? Have the decker deck the airport security cam logs to find this guy boarding the plane, offer him either a cut or a flat fee. We need up to date intel on this guy, or we'll end up chasing smoke. Also can we have our NPC decker check the train station sec cams as well. He must have passed customs at Seattle and entering NYC if he was travelling legit. Let's see how he tried to change his appearance. We need hard data. None of us can provide that.
BishopMcQ
Tanka--Give me some kind of IC post that let's me knopw what you're telling Debian, either a phone call or an e-mail...Then I'll run the numbers and see what he can get for you.
Tanka
Actually, wasn't Ecc the one talking to Debian? Charlie doesn't have a cell phone, just the one at his house.
BishopMcQ
Whomever wants to talk is fine, I just need something IC.
BishopMcQ
Ok folks, I'm going to bump to the landing sequence on the 16th unless someone tells me I need to stop. Let's see the plan makers decide what's going on, so this thread can kick back into gear.
Ecclesiastes
Sorry guys, I got the flu and was down for the count for a bit. I'm back now. I'm fine with us moving to the landing and meeting up with Mr. Robinson in NYC.
HeySparky
Hope you're feeling better.
Johnson
Maybe better to land in NYC maybe some more ritual magic might help or some spirits to help tacking him down...
Johnson
Before I forget I am on leave from today till the 3 Jan 2005. So you gentle people must have and great Christmas and have a good New Year. SO Tiny can be NPCed for now, I will try and login during vocation time to keep up to date.
BishopMcQ
Have a good time Johnson!

Everyone else, the bump occurs.
BishopMcQ
Alright Boys and Girls, you have a plan now let me see you do it. If funds are a problem, ask your self how to get them. Loan sharks as some of you figured out earlier are always there, also anyone with a SIN could buy a normal ticket since NYC is not in quarantine at the moment.

Remember there are also slightly more illicit ways to get airline tickets, rental cars etc.

BishopMcQ
doh!
BishopMcQ
My bad...
HeySparky
McQuillan -- So there are two crew in the plane? Mickey and Piotr. Mickey is the elf we saw and Piotr is...? Did Bishop see him?
BishopMcQ
Piotr is behind the door to the cabin you would presume...that's why Mickey slaps twice on the door at take off and landing. Bishop never saw him, Mickey gave him the cable with a sensor feed.

QUOTE (mcquillan)
Once the team has climbed on board, the thin elf slaps the door to the pilot's cabin twice. You feel a smooth acceleration as the plane begins to taxi down the highway, gaining acceleration much faster than it should.
QUOTE (mcquillan)
The thin elf who has been in the main cabin with you during the flight, again slaps the door to the cockpit twice before exiting the plane. You see him pull a large hose out of the back of a nearby truck and begin refueling.
HeySparky
I knew I'd missed something... I thought it was just an eccentric 'we're moving out' signal to us. smile.gif
BishopMcQ
What's the plan? Are you guys going to take him up on his offer, find an alternate route to Europe, throw in the towel?
toturi
I'm half a mind to give up... smells like a rail road here. Or just offering enough rope to hang ourselves. I'll go with what the rest of the group decides.
BishopMcQ
I just keep providing options. If the team wants to smuggle something across to earn their pay fine, or you can arrange other transportation, or you can check around NYC to see if you can find a trail, there are hundreds of options...the solutions I provide are not the only viable ones.
HeySparky
Yeah. We could call any one of our fixers... just takes us a LONG time to make decisions/come up with the money to act on them.
