Also, Martin casts and sustains a Detect Life spell at Force 4 (Drain Value of 2, buying 2 hits with 8 dice (4 Log, 4 Will)) for a range of 20 meters (Force 4 * Magic 5). This to help figure out if the vermin we're chasing are hiding behind panels and whatnot, for a more thorough extermination process.

I dismiss the spell before we hit the Thai place, though. Some things I don't need to know.

Mickle5125, Madrigan:


Alright I think that’s everyone and the results of all your tests. Let me know what you guys want to do aside from eat delicious Thai food.

I'm sittin around until the more knowing people do/say something. Otherwise, I'm enjoying Thai food and thinking about the rats on my boots:P

I'm afraid Goldirocks has had to withdraw from the game for the time being. As a result Dumori will be stepping in to replace her once he's ready to go.

hehe... that's what you get for building a combat axe with legs and zero Perception ;p

I can't wait until the suprise rolls start coming...

Moo Hoo Ha Ha

Just wait for the combat axe
is my reply
A couple of hacks
Won't even need to try
Before they die, a testament
To Trollish stength
And better armament


It's a terrible thing when we give metalheads like me rap>.>
And hey, this is why Trolls can soak so damn good, eh? 10/13(2/7 for the chain, 3/3 from adept abilities, 1/1 from Troll, 6/2 from FFBA) armour and 8 Body do have a purpose sometimes.

Too bad about Goldirocks, but I'll look forward to our new guy popping up.

Anyways, right about now, I'd be trying to hear this noise that has been spoken about IC, but hey, it'd be a longshot test if I wanted to hear it most likely

Yeah, I'm going to rule that you really can't hear it. As you mentioned in your IC post, a lifetime of finnish troll deathmetal does take it's toll on ones ability to hear.

Or communicate with the rest of the world.

Oh, and you gotta see em before you can troll axe them

BTW, I stole your character to use in a home game I ran a couple weeks ago He went over well with the crowd.

Infestation Info Gathering: Data Search + Browse [1 Minute Intervals] (6 Dice; 2 Hits on First Interval; 3 Hits on Second)
Geological Events Info Gathering: Data Search + Browse [1 Minute Intervals] (6 Dice; 3 Hits of First Interval; 2 Hits on Second)
Hacking the MAC Node (IP 1): Hacking + Exploit + 1 Edge [1 IP Interval] (6 Dice; Ciritical Glitch!)

Ooh, this is gonna be pretty... aweful... *l* Thank the Ghost for ColdSIM...

GM Summary:
I'll try to do these summaries regularly, they're just a way for me to touch base with all of you and let you know what's going on with the game and what not.

I apologize if all this stage setting is going kinda slowly. This is my first PBP game and I'm used to having plenty of time for 15-20 minutes of setting RP to go down before the run proper. As it is I've noticed that things are moving slowly so I've restructured the plot to accomodate. At the risk of ruining the "suprise" this is the last setting up scene before "things" start happening. That said several the of the PC's have some information they will probably begin sharing with the party before you dive into the next scene. I wanted to let you guys pose your characters, and let the rest of us know how you like to RP and how your characters act. Since that's out of the way, we can get to the good shit...

You know the running and screaming and running parts.

Moo Hoo
Ha ha.

One other thing, I want to make sure you all realize that I consider you directors as well as actors in this story. If you want to stretch a scene out for some reason bring it up here and see what other people want to do. If you want to end a scene and move on, post that as well. I as GM may of course ignore you but I think you'll generally see that I won't.

For god sakes let me know if you (the player) are getting bored.

Doc, the only way I get bored is the week-long absences of everyone. But it's understandable too. On the note of everything else, this is gonna rock.

I hope to have my PC up Monday at the latest. IDk what role he will really fill being a mystic adept/rigger/hacker/professor of physics. The idea is fun though as hes an "young" elf and is getting bored of lecturing and has picked up some skill to spice up his drab life.

This will be slightlylater now.

Alright, we're back up:
1. Waiting on Digital Heroin to update on what he wants to do on the Matrix.
2. Waiting to see how you people respond to the revelation that... something is going on. Dun dun DUUUUhhh..

*gasp* Something is happening? In Shadowrun? No, really!

Back to the point, I'm lovin it.

Two things:

1. I should point out that this alarm is going off INSIDE of a military base, one that you aren't authorized to enter except under some very loose interpretations of "Code 4" emergency authorization. This by no means should dissuade you from checking it out, I just want to remove any misunderstanding that you have a duty to act in this situation.

2. Mickle5125 gets the first spot karma award for reaming the troll axe for uh... carrying his troll axe in public


You are of course welcome to convince Harris that you guys should check this out...

Update: Still waiting on DH to resolve some Matrix combat, if anyone has his email give him a poke. Probably feed our new player, Dumori, in at the end of this scene.

Pretty happy with how this scene is playing out, look forwarding to seeing where you guys go with the conversation

Last I heard, life had gotten fairly crazy recently for DH.

Ah well we might very well advance the plotline anyways. It sounds like you guys have a bit of dialogue left so go ahead and hash it out. Assume the DH is uh... "distracted" by something on the Matrix.

When your character has said what they want to say post here so I know to move the story forward.

anything else kerrigan'll say will be in response to whatever they say, so I'm ready whenever

Unless someone wants to run off in a totaly different direction, I'm ready to go forward too.

I have two plans to get to the mysterious pill. Which one I'll try depends on the answer to "We don't by chance have an airtight container that can be closed by remote?".

So, what is it, keeper of the holy gear listings?

*Dice roll... not really *

Wouldn't you know! They have a couple of "specimen" containers of various flavors and sizes (some with preservatives, some with heavy gasses that kill things, some with nothing but air) Hell they even have one with a little air filter capable of producing various atmospheres (high oxygen, low oxygen, low nitrogen, ammonia, etc).

Sizes are:
-Zippy cola can
-Shoe box
-"Box" (You know those cardboard boxes for storing files and stuff? That size box)
-Cooler (The kind you'd tote the beach)

Zippy cola, the drink that drinks you, can be attached to one of various drones. The other needs to be "hand collected".

There are also just SCADS of oversize match box containers. These can be operated by remote as well, when attached to a drone of course.


To answer the follow on question: What kind of drones do we have access to?
Well... quite a few of them. There's a particular brand of crawler drone designed to collect specimens and the gear list says there are at least 4 ready to go. The only problem is that pulling them out via AR requires "Senior Shift Leader Authorization". The work around is that you can always just walk up and yank them out of their charging ports (they're loaded into a drone rack of sorts in the crew cabin.) A quick read through of MAC regs basically point to the whole authorization thing as a way to keep people from sending them out one mental whim only to forget them at job sites when they leave. Supposedly research has shown that physically pulling them from the cradle seems to remind people to go back and get them.

Why they couldn't make an RFID beacon/AR reminder is beyond anyone else. The date stamp on this particular MAC regulation is... Buddha on a bicycle! It's from 2055? It's amazing these drones don't have fiberoptic cabling!

I should have marcus finished tonight. So those drones will be his field of expertise.

So, if I get this right the cola can type container can be closed by hand or via drone but not remotely if it's not attached to one. Right?

Anyway I'll have Alan buy two cans of lychee juice (well, closest soydrek equivalent) before leaving the glorious feeding hole.

A qucik request as I dont have the time to read the IC and OOC in full atm can I have a quick run down of whats happened and whats going on thanks.

we met, we've worked a little bit. we've spotted some oddities. we hear an alarm. Everyone seems to want to actually have an adventure instead of listen to Kerrigan bitch about the completely annoying aspects of the job.

Ears: Correct. And it's real lychee... grown in giant vats.

Dumori: Mickle5125 concisely summed it up. Your guy will enter at the very end of this scene. I'll post here to let you know when you can saunter in.

Mickle5125: Kerrigan needs to play with her pretty guns... this will happen shortly.... probably... actually it really depends how you guys handle the next scene or two.


ALLCON: Do you all mind PMing me your emails? I'd like to be able to send you game stuff without clogging up your PM inbox (and mines pretty full). I understand if you're reluctant to just toss your email out there though.

To clarify, I'm talking about using a "Calm Animal" spell on a big ol' rat or something, then dropping the spell at an appropriate time and pointing the unfortunate critter in Harris' direction.

I swear... if your character turns into Willard...

Then I'll be the friendly green giant?

Is there anything particularly friendly about a troll with an axe?

he's a great friend when the Drek hits the fan...

So are a shitton of angry rats.

I'd argue that a short tonne of angry rats really depends on which way they're pointed.

[img]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n220/doc_wicket/rats.jpg[/img]

A lot like a sword, really.

The acurracy of that drawing is maximum.

My muse just died a little inside because of it.

Alright, unless there are objections the plot grinds ever onward. You guys have time for one last verbal exchange before Harris comes back and informs you that it's time to get moving and that you'll be picking up a rigger to help with some of these more remote worksites.

Update: Digital Heroin is back in the saddle after a fit of horrifying real world disease so I'm going to give him a day or two to post before we move on.

Sounds good. DH, hope ya feel better man

Let me get some Intuition+Con (or other social skill if you can justify it). If any of you magical types want to drop and aura reading that'll be welcome as well.

Let's call it "Sense Motive".

I'm also going to post the next scene and assume you're all in comas until you get to it. Unless of course you PM me otherwise


If you guys are planning on grabbing the drones before you get to your next work site let me get some palming rolls. It's possible to wait until you get to the next site and yank them when Harris is distracted or whatever as well (no roll required).

juuust curious... why not a judge intentions roll? (Cha+Int)

Because I'm retarded and totally forgot what the judge intention roll was.

Cha+Int
Cha+Con
Int+Con

All of these will work for me. Generally speaking I'll accpet any roll that at least makes a little sense (ask first of course)

whoo hoo! that means I'm not defaulting like crazy on it.

here we go.

Judge Intention: [6,5,2,3,3,6,6] = (4)

Oh, btw, I'm not coma-bound.

Okay you see the very fabric of existence peel back and the court of 13 secret saints and devas star down at you, their eyes pools of endless darkness and light. You are both yourself and everyone and the world trembles as you become a star child.

That's when the drugs wear off.

Nah the coma thing is just me saying we'll skip the chatter until we get to the next scene.

@Mickle5125:

for those of you who are wondering why Ms. Kerrigan suddenly became a generic man and started playing with generic drones in a very generic manner, fear not. Your slightly bi-polar gothic gunbunny is still around. I'm just posting in Proxy for our rigger until his computer stops being made of fail.
