Umbrafer (8:03:20 PM): (One moment)
Thematrian1 (8:13:10 PM): ok, this will probably be a short session
Thematrian1 (8:13:16 PM): we have no CirclMastr and I feel like hell
MilesMk1 (8:13:57 PM): He can't get on?
MilesMk1 (8:14:02 PM): Or he's not playing?
Umbrafer (8:14:08 PM): *Nods*
Thematrian1 (8:14:09 PM): can't get in
Umbrafer (8:14:15 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (8:14:15 PM): crashes his client
Umbrafer (8:14:24 PM): Tried a different room?
MilesMk1 (8:14:25 PM): Shit.
Umbrafer (8:14:28 PM): Ah
Thematrian1 (8:14:42 PM): He's said he's having problems with chat rooms in general
Thematrian1 (8:22:13 PM): so, uh, shopping, I guess
Umbrafer (8:25:02 PM): (Sorry about that, talking to players from my Saturday games, trying to get at the root of the problems that have been happening there)
Umbrafer (8:25:08 PM): (I'm back hereabouts now)
Umbrafer (8:25:24 PM): Shopping, shopping, shopping. *Puts final touches on the shielddrone*
MilesMk1 (8:26:57 PM): Eh... Right, shopping.
Thematrian1 (8:27:53 PM): thermite and magnesium is secured in five days time. There was some question of whether or not to buy the dubious-quality nerve gas
MilesMk1 (8:27:56 PM): Well, I can't get any done until my gun dealer gets back to me, so for now, all I have left is getting a price quote on that poison gas thing they're trying to sell me.
Thematrian1 (8:28:50 PM): (Ah, the pain meds are kicking in. Sweet)
Umbrafer (8:29:05 PM): (You ok?)
MilesMk1 (8:29:20 PM): (What exactly happened to you? You said you were ok, but...)
Thematrian1 (8:29:33 PM): (Sick. It's the accident's cause, not its effect)
MilesMk1 (8:29:43 PM): (Ah.)
MilesMk1 (8:30:45 PM): I also need to find out how the nerve gas thing is triggered... Do they have it ready for release, or would I actually need some amount of Demolitions skill to set it up myself?
Umbrafer (8:31:20 PM): (And can we release less-than-full payloads?)
Thematrian1 (8:31:44 PM): You'd need Demolitions to do more than (basically) open the box and run away.
MilesMk1 (8:33:29 PM): Ah. Well, that basically answers the question as to whether I'll be buying it, unless it's really budget-priced...
MilesMk1 (8:33:36 PM): How much do they want for it?
Thematrian1 (8:34:03 PM): (I'm looking. I didn't write it in my notes; I wrote everything in terms of a Man & Machine reference)
Umbrafer (8:34:20 PM): (At least it wasn't a SotA:2063 reference)
Thematrian1 (8:36:39 PM): You were quoted 4kY for the lot. That's low, but includes an "at-least-it-will-be-off-our-property" discount.
Umbrafer (8:36:56 PM): How much did they say it was again?
Umbrafer (8:36:59 PM): (Quantity)
MilesMk1 (8:38:24 PM): (And how does that translate into city blocks? For anyone associated with Homeland security listening in - This is Just a Role-Playing Game.)
Thematrian1 (8:38:28 PM): The box was about a foot to a side.
MilesMk1 (8:40:34 PM): What do you think... Should I take it? It seems like an interesting thing to have...
Umbrafer (8:40:57 PM): (Go for it! Go for it!)
Umbrafer (8:41:05 PM): (Getting Dave's opinion)
MilesMk1 (8:41:11 PM): I suppose I could always blow it open, right? Or does it contain two gases, that need to be combined?
Thematrian1 (8:41:21 PM): Nope, just one gas.
MilesMk1 (8:41:39 PM): Hmm... Ok.
Umbrafer (8:41:59 PM): What form is it in now? Would it be possible to siphon off part without massive risk of exposure, providing proper protections were taken?
MilesMk1 (8:42:11 PM): I'll take it, and also will be looking for the highest-rated chem-suit I can find.
Thematrian1 (8:42:33 PM): Jon: Yes, but it's hard to say exactly what "proper protections" are
Umbrafer (8:42:46 PM): Cleanroom and waldoes.
Thematrian1 (8:43:01 PM): yeah, that'd probably work
MilesMk1 (8:43:04 PM): You have a cleanroom and waldoes?
Umbrafer (8:44:07 PM): Not yet.
Umbrafer (8:44:31 PM): Actually, with drone waldoes we wouldn't even need the cleanroom. Just make sure we don't like anyone around where we do the work.
Thematrian1 (8:44:41 PM): ::snicker::
MilesMk1 (8:45:06 PM): So... I'll make my roll for the chem-suit?
Thematrian1 (8:45:28 PM): Sure.
Thematrian1 (8:45:44 PM): I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but we'll let whatever TN you hit be the highest-rated chemsuit you can find
MilesMk1 (8:46:20 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 5 1 3
MilesMk1 (8:46:22 PM): Gah.
MilesMk1 (8:46:39 PM): Does that reduce the power of the toxin by its rating?
Umbrafer (8:46:53 PM): Eek.
Umbrafer (8:47:32 PM): As soon as I hear this, I'm working on finding a vehicle chemseal.
MilesMk1 (8:47:42 PM): Hmm. I believe I'll try again with Ed, once I get in touch with him.
Thematrian1 (8:47:57 PM): well, this is interesting. The only chemsuits I can find don't having ratings. They either keep the toxin out, or they don't.
Umbrafer (8:48:00 PM): (Your contacts have been Bugged)
MilesMk1 (8:48:12 PM): I found them in NSRCG
Thematrian1 (8:48:12 PM): a day passes. Evening comes. Ed calls you.
Thematrian1 (8:48:24 PM): Oh. Hm. Jon, are they in SR3?
MilesMk1 (8:48:35 PM): Rating 5 costs 1000, street index of 1. Claims they're SR3, p.295
Umbrafer (8:48:45 PM): Not sure. Trying to find my...........
Thematrian1 (8:48:52 PM): "Blake. Sorry I couldn't answer you earlier."
Umbrafer (8:48:57 PM): Right, the copy that's three feet in front of me.
MilesMk1 (8:49:06 PM): "That's fine... Nothing serious, I hope?"
Thematrian1 (8:49:28 PM): "Somebody thought they had unfinished business with me, is all. We talked a bit, and everything's fine now."
MilesMk1 (8:49:38 PM): "This whole town's been acting weird the last couple of days, or maybe it's just me..."
MilesMk1 (8:49:48 PM): "Gotta be the weather."
Thematrian1 (8:50:04 PM): "Phases of the moon..."
MilesMk1 (8:50:25 PM): "I need to get my hands on some heavy hardware, if possible. Willing to pay premium for it."
Thematrian1 (8:51:20 PM): "For you, my back room is always open. What're you looking for?"
Umbrafer (8:52:06 PM): (Chemsuit, right in the place mentioned)
Thematrian1 (8:52:21 PM): (Awesome. What do they do?)
MilesMk1 (8:52:48 PM): 1. APDS heavy pistol and AR rounds. 2. AV AR and Rifle rounds. 3. High rated Chemsuit 4. Light Security Armor and Helmet. 5. Ballistic Riot Shield.
MilesMk1 (8:53:12 PM): 6. Some small pre-made explosive charges with radio detonators.
Umbrafer (8:53:18 PM): ("This slick, impermeable garment usually consists of booted coveralls, a hooded poncho and mittens. The hood is often transparent, at least in the face area, and fitted with an air filter. Designer versions are popular in the UCAS
Umbrafer (8:53:32 PM): (And other industrialized areas for the miserable, "hard rain" days.")
Umbrafer (8:53:53 PM): (Avail is Rating/Rating Days, but what the Rating does isn't listed.)
MilesMk1 (8:56:15 PM): (Man and Machine p.105 says it reduces the power of the toxin by its rating.)
Thematrian1 (8:56:24 PM): (Aha. Thank you.)
MilesMk1 (8:57:11 PM): (And a respirator reduces the Power by 2 and damage level by 1... I think I'll be getting one of those, too.)
MilesMk1 (8:57:53 PM): 7. Respirator.
Umbrafer (8:58:00 PM): (That's only for Inhalation vectors though, isn't it?)
Thematrian1 (8:58:06 PM): "Well, the chemsuit is easy. Respirator is easy. Explosives're easy. The other things...some damn funny things've happened these past few days. You can't get armor for love or money, and I'm running low on ammunition.
Thematrian1 (8:58:15 PM): "For you, I could find some..."
Umbrafer (8:58:16 PM): (Heh)
Umbrafer (8:58:26 PM): (A disturbing amount of SR airborne toxins are Touch vector)
Thematrian1 (8:58:50 PM): Green Ring X, for example, works either way.
MilesMk1 (8:59:26 PM): "Well, I'd definitely appreciate that. Anything I need to be worried about, as far as those 'funny' things?"
Thematrian1 (9:00:29 PM): "I don't think so, but it's hard to know. People are stirred up, getting nervous."
MilesMk1 (9:01:22 PM): "Noticed that too. The corps getting antsy, or something? I haven't heard of anything, but like I said, the place has been weird."
Umbrafer (9:03:14 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 2 4
Thematrian1 (9:03:14 PM): "They are. Most people are just following the herd, and the people who might know things aren't talking."
MilesMk1 (9:04:29 PM): "Well, I guess all you can hope for is a way of getting out of town if something does come down... Makes me glad my lease is almost up."
MilesMk1 (9:05:11 PM): "Anyway, enough doom and gloom... I'd owe you one if you could make something work on the ammunition angle."
Thematrian1 (9:05:20 PM): "I hear that. For God's sake watch your ass."
Thematrian1 (9:05:33 PM): "I will. Come by the shop tomorrow night, I'll see what I have for you.
MilesMk1 (9:06:19 PM): "Will do."
MilesMk1 (9:07:05 PM): "Let me know if there's anything I can help with, if someone else decides they have unfinished business..."
Thematrian1 (9:07:39 PM): "Thanks, but don't worry."
Thematrian1 (9:07:47 PM): Pause. "At least, not about that."
MilesMk1 (9:08:37 PM): "Yeah? Well, if there's anything I can do, let me know."
MilesMk1 (9:11:29 PM): "I mean that."
Thematrian1 (9:12:13 PM): "Thanks. I mean that."
MilesMk1 (9:13:00 PM): "Heh... All right, I won't pry. Much. See you tomorrow."
Umbrafer (9:13:10 PM): (Let me see, how many contacts are we going to be extracting in a few days?)
Thematrian1 (9:13:14 PM): "Tomorrow." ::click::
MilesMk1 (9:15:16 PM): (Umm... Well, I have four that are fairly important to Blake, two of which are really handy, a weapons dealer and a surgeon... The fixer we can leave behind, I guess, but the Shaman could be useful...)
MilesMk1 (9:15:17 PM): :)
MilesMk1 (9:16:36 PM): (And then there's Martha to worry about...)
Umbrafer (9:17:21 PM): (What about the pet ganger?)
Umbrafer (9:19:23 PM): (Leaving him to his fate?)
MilesMk1 (9:19:45 PM): (Eh... He's someone I'd like to help, but I think it'd be a bit much to ask Alex to bring him along, all things considered. If it's possible, I'm all for getting him out, but I have 4 level 2 contacts to think about first.)
MilesMk1 (9:20:11 PM): Speaking of pet ganger...
MilesMk1 (9:20:43 PM): I figure his tip that lead to this job gets him off the hook...
Umbrafer (9:21:45 PM): (We may be making multiple trips.)
MilesMk1 (9:23:44 PM): *gets a certified 1000 nuyen credstick anddrops by the place where he stashed the ganger*
Umbrafer (9:23:52 PM): Can I give another shot at getting the stuff to repair the van?
Thematrian1 (9:23:56 PM): Sure
Thematrian1 (9:24:13 PM): Jonah's on the floor, doing situps. He pauses as you enter.
MilesMk1 (9:24:37 PM): "Hey. Getting back into shape?"
Thematrian1 (9:25:17 PM): He grunts as he stands. "Gotta keep busy."
MilesMk1 (9:25:23 PM): (What does he look like, anyway? Human, meta, tall, short, athletic, flabby?)
Umbrafer (9:25:37 PM): Woah.
Umbrafer (9:25:44 PM): Ok, I'm an idiot.
MilesMk1 (9:25:47 PM): (Woah?)
Umbrafer (9:26:02 PM): Either I botched the test to get the parts last time, or I was looking at the Citymaster's Avail column rather than the Roadmaster.
Umbrafer (9:26:37 PM): (Roadmaster avail = 3, Citymaster avail = 7 or 11, depending on whether you're looking at a pre- or post-errata copy)
Thematrian1 (9:26:45 PM): Jonah is an Ork. Medium-tall and thick all over. Lots of muscles, but not athletic really.
Umbrafer (9:26:55 PM): (And I was looking at a pre-errata copy)
Umbrafer (9:27:02 PM): Rolling for parts.
Umbrafer (9:27:05 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 2 1 6 1
MilesMk1 (9:27:26 PM): (Rigger 3 revised gives it as 13/13 for the citymaster)
Umbrafer (9:27:39 PM): (Ah)
Umbrafer (9:27:47 PM): (Either way, what I have is the Roadmaster)
MilesMk1 (9:27:54 PM): (Which is 3/3)
Umbrafer (9:28:06 PM): (So one day for parts. Phew.)
MilesMk1 (9:29:01 PM): "Heh... I bet, not much to do in this place, is there?"
MilesMk1 (9:30:03 PM): "Well, this is your last day here."
Thematrian1 (9:30:47 PM): He waits. You start to suspect that he might be trying to hold himself at attention.
MilesMk1 (9:30:53 PM): (Luckily for Jonah's heart, Blake is not the sort of guys to say that, and pretend to reach for gun... :))
MilesMk1 (9:31:26 PM): *reaches into his jacket, pulls out the 1K chip, and hands it over*
Umbrafer (9:31:40 PM): Eek, ¥7842.5 for parts. Rolling to see how long the repairs take.
Umbrafer (9:31:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 2 5 6 4 2
MilesMk1 (9:32:03 PM): "I found I could use some of the info you gave me, so we're square - figured you could use a few yen to get you started."
Umbrafer (9:32:26 PM): Base TN 3, would I get any bonus for the microscopic vision?
Thematrian1 (9:32:48 PM): Hm. Yes; it's a B/R task.
Thematrian1 (9:33:10 PM): "Gee, thanks." Yes, he said 'gee'. He seems surprised.
Umbrafer (9:33:38 PM): Ok, so six successes for a time of 16/6 hours. Alex blazes through the repair.
MilesMk1 (9:34:58 PM): "This place is paid up for another month, and I don't re-use safehouses for security reasons, so whether you want to hang around is up to you."
Thematrian1 (9:36:00 PM): He nods. "I'll probably hang. I've been thinking a lot..."
MilesMk1 (9:36:08 PM): "Yeah?"
Thematrian1 (9:37:52 PM): "Yeah. At the end of the month, probably, I'm gonna try and get my own gang together. That or leave Chicago."
MilesMk1 (9:38:51 PM): "Where were you thinking of heading?"
Thematrian1 (9:39:23 PM): "Seattle. I hear life is good down there."
MilesMk1 (9:39:32 PM): "So they say."
MilesMk1 (9:41:06 PM): "Well... You might want to consider a third option."
Thematrian1 (9:41:24 PM): He looks attentive.

You are now in chat room “Chat 36445430620858683015.”
Thematrian1 (9:43:33 PM): He continues to look attentive.
MilesMk1 (9:43:44 PM): (yeah, I'm thinking, ok? ;p)
Thematrian1 (9:44:08 PM): (wasn't sure I still had chat ;-))
MilesMk1 (9:44:55 PM): "You ever wanted a shot at the major leagues? Something a few steps above running with the gangs?"
Thematrian1 (9:45:30 PM): "Who doesn't?"
MilesMk1 (9:47:45 PM): (freakin' interruptions...)
Umbrafer (9:48:23 PM): (The advantages to online games are strange and myriad.)
MilesMk1 (9:50:41 PM): "Well... Let's just say I owe someone, and giving someone a leg up would be a way of paying back an old debt. Provided that someone were loyal, and willing to be smart about it."
Thematrian1 (9:53:09 PM): He tries to look loyal and smart.
Thematrian1 (9:53:26 PM): credit his self control; he doesn't bounce on his toes or anything
Umbrafer (9:53:30 PM): (Does he succeed?)
Umbrafer (9:53:32 PM): (Hehehe)
Thematrian1 (9:54:21 PM): (Heh. He does look loyal, for sure)
Thematrian1 (9:56:51 PM): "What is it?"
MilesMk1 (9:57:55 PM): "Mind you, I'm no one's fairy godmother, and if you do this sort of thing right, instant gratification is not what it's all about... But I can use someone to work for me, and I can make sure you can get your hands on the skills
MilesMk1 (9:58:34 PM): ...and the gear that'll open up some options for you. In time."
Thematrian1 (9:59:17 PM): He looks eager. "You could have left me to die. Just tell me what to do, and I'm yours."
MilesMk1 (10:00:59 PM): "You still seem to have a decent connection to the street. To start off, I just want you to keep that going - while staying out of trouble, mind you. Information matters."
Umbrafer (10:01:44 PM): (More than perhaps everything save a nonpourous brainpan)
Thematrian1 (10:02:34 PM): "I can deliver, I know I can."
MilesMk1 (10:03:37 PM): "Getting some more info on that warehouse, for example, wouldn't be a bad start - but only if you can do it discreetely enough that people don't know you're looking. That's just as important."
MilesMk1 (10:04:25 PM): "In the meantime, we can also take a look at what you can do, so I'll have an idea of what else you could help me out with."
Umbrafer (10:05:12 PM): (What are your core competencies?)
Thematrian1 (10:05:53 PM): "Wait. How can I ask about things without people knowing I'm asking?"
MilesMk1 (10:06:05 PM): (Hey, I have all this money I can't spend on myself because of lack of Essence... Might as well invest in the youth of America.)
MilesMk1 (10:06:47 PM): (Does he come across as at least reasonably bright? This plan might have a fatal flaw...)
Umbrafer (10:07:15 PM): (That's what I like about Blake, always caring about the future. How old is the ganger, anyway?)
Thematrian1 (10:07:47 PM): (He actually does seem pretty bright. He speaks ganger lingo, but he loses most of it when he talks to you. Just one example)
MilesMk1 (10:09:31 PM): "You can't. All you can do is try to be as subtle about it as possible."
MilesMk1 (10:10:28 PM): "In other words, take your time about it. There's no big rush. There's always work for people like me, no point in getting your head blown off because you were in a hurry."
Thematrian1 (10:12:49 PM): He nods, slowly.
MilesMk1 (10:14:13 PM): "Hell, I'm sure I'm not telling you much you don't know already... Get enough 'ware in you, and it doesn't do your 'people skills' any good."
MilesMk1 (10:14:30 PM): "On to the fun stuff..."
Thematrian1 (10:14:30 PM): "But if you have to fight, you always win."
MilesMk1 (10:15:41 PM): "Well... Let's just say the odds are skewed in your favor quite a bit. You can have half a mil worth of cyber implanted, and someone with an AK you haven't noticed can still ruin your day."

MilesMk1 (10:16:24 PM): "Overconfindence will kill you faster than anything."
MilesMk1 (10:16:52 PM): "Speaking of fighting... What do you know, and what are you best with?"
Thematrian1 (10:18:09 PM): He cocks his fists. "These, or a lead pipe, or a chain. I've used a hose a few times." (NB: 'hose' is a slang term for a semiautomatic weapon)
Umbrafer (10:21:26 PM): (Semiautomatic? I'd've thought it'd be an auto)
Thematrian1 (10:22:07 PM): (Not common enough to produce their own slang)
MilesMk1 (10:23:57 PM): "I'm mainly a firearm specialist myself, but it defiitely doesn't hurt to be able to handle yourself unarmed... Go ahead, take a swing at me. I wanna see what you can do." (trying to get an idea of his skill level)
Thematrian1 (10:24:30 PM): He hesitates for half a breath, then lunges.
Thematrian1 (10:24:50 PM): (Roll unarmed, with as much pool as you please)
MilesMk1 (10:24:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 1 2 3 1 6 2 2 2 3 5 2 2
Umbrafer (10:25:03 PM): (Eeeek)
MilesMk1 (10:25:07 PM): Hah. Karma!
Umbrafer (10:25:08 PM): (Blake gets himself decked)
Thematrian1 (10:25:19 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 5 1 4 3 5 2 2
Thematrian1 (10:25:38 PM): karma rerolls 10 dice, in this case
MilesMk1 (10:25:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 1 3 5
Umbrafer (10:26:04 PM): (6 out of 12, nice and average)
MilesMk1 (10:26:08 PM): (The things we do to save ourselves from embarassement..)
Umbrafer (10:26:23 PM): (Should've gone Full Defense)
Umbrafer (10:26:33 PM): (More style points that way)
Thematrian1 (10:26:53 PM): He's competent; strong, with good reflexes and good timing. You get the impression that he's holding back a trifle, though.
MilesMk1 (10:26:53 PM): (I am not hitting him, BTW... Stopping short of connecting.)
MilesMk1 (10:27:22 PM): "100 nuyen if you can connect."
Umbrafer (10:27:42 PM): (How much karma do you want to spend on this again?)
Thematrian1 (10:28:07 PM): Half-suppressed snarl. He backs up, pants for a moment, then rushes you again.
Thematrian1 (10:28:43 PM): This time, he is definitely bringing it.
MilesMk1 (10:28:55 PM): This time, I'm using full defense. :)
Umbrafer (10:29:00 PM): (Full Defense! Yay!)
Thematrian1 (10:29:17 PM): (What's that do?)
Umbrafer (10:31:00 PM): (You make a normal melee test, but you can't use combat pool. However, after that if the attacker has net successes you get to roll dodge against TN 4, usual modifiers applied. It means you both get to use more pool and get to do th
MilesMk1 (10:31:02 PM): (Opposed tests as normal, except I can't use any Combat Pool. If I win, I do no damage. If I lose, I get to make a Dosge test with as many dice as I want. if I get more successes than he does after adding it all in, I don't get hit)
Umbrafer (10:31:13 PM): (The stylish step-out-of-the-way-of-the-punch thing too)
Umbrafer (10:31:44 PM): (You do no damage if you win, as stated, and IIRC you can't attack your next pass either)
Thematrian1 (10:31:46 PM): ok, let's see it
MilesMk1 (10:31:52 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 4 2 4 1 6
Thematrian1 (10:31:53 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 5 4 1 1 4 2 6 4 5
MilesMk1 (10:32:04 PM): Ouch. Beat me by 3.
MilesMk1 (10:32:24 PM): Dodge.
MilesMk1 (10:32:32 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 4 2 2 2 3 5 2 3 4
Umbrafer (10:32:42 PM): (Never mind that no-attack-next-pass, I can't see anything suggesting that)
Thematrian1 (10:33:26 PM): He's motivated, and frankly you feel a bit off your game. Nevertheless, you control his attack and leave him savaging the air.
MilesMk1 (10:34:54 PM): "Not bad at all."
Umbrafer (10:35:33 PM): (So either his skill is 5 or his combat pool sucks monkey balls.)
MilesMk1 (10:36:47 PM): "Reminds me why I stick to guns, and leave this sort of thing to taller people." *grins*
Thematrian1 (10:37:15 PM): ::panting:: "Short but vicious."
MilesMk1 (10:37:49 PM): "You know what they say about age and treachery and youth and skill?"
Thematrian1 (10:38:10 PM): "Yeah"
Umbrafer (10:38:17 PM): (Did we ever get an estimate on his age?)
MilesMk1 (10:38:23 PM): "Heh."
MilesMk1 (10:42:08 PM): "I need to get going - have some business I need to take care of - but I'll be staying in touch. Maybe get you out to a shooting range, see how you can handle a gun, because you've got this stuff covered."
Thematrian1 (10:42:31 PM): "I'll get right on it."
MilesMk1 (10:43:12 PM): "Good. Just make sure you're discreet."
MilesMk1 (10:43:34 PM): "Let me know if anything comes up."
Thematrian1 (10:43:44 PM): "Of course."
MilesMk1 (10:44:17 PM): "Oh, and use some of that money to get a new phone - switching periodically is something you should get used to."
Thematrian1 (10:44:33 PM): He looks confused, then enlightened.
MilesMk1 (10:46:29 PM): Leave me a message once you have the new number.
MilesMk1 (10:46:36 PM): ""
Thematrian1 (10:46:41 PM): "Okay."
MilesMk1 (10:46:57 PM): *nods, heads out.*
MilesMk1 (10:47:27 PM): (Ok, now we have one more person to extract.)
Thematrian1 (10:47:36 PM): (Yay?)
MilesMk1 (10:47:37 PM): (Happy?) ;)
Umbrafer (10:48:37 PM): (I wonder if it'll be possible to get a schoolbus after the bugs hit...)
Thematrian1 (10:48:59 PM): (That'd be a nice twist on the classic runner van, no?)
Thematrian1 (10:49:19 PM): (One of the first things I did with R3 was try to stat a Rigger RV, but nothing came of it)
Umbrafer (10:50:08 PM): (At this rate, we'll need one to extract everyone.
Umbrafer (10:50:45 PM): (I'll try to come up with stats for one. Two sets: one for a 2060s schoolbus, and then one set for the schoolbusses from the 2030s which is all most schools have.)
MilesMk1 (10:50:46 PM): (Heh... Can you imagine Shojo's reaction if Martha ended up being evacuated in the same vehicle as Jonah? She'd probably try to shoot him. I'm going to have my hands full with this babysitting gig...)
Umbrafer (10:52:48 PM): (That's what the shielddrone's for.)
MilesMk1 (10:52:54 PM): (Well, I'd guess everyone is starting to pass out by now, making this a good point to call it a night?)
Thematrian1 (10:53:01 PM): Yeah, that'd be cool.
Thematrian1 (10:53:06 PM): Next week: the actual run?
Umbrafer (10:53:11 PM): (Probably so. Can I mark the van as repaired?)
Umbrafer (10:53:14 PM): (Sounds good to me)
Thematrian1 (10:53:30 PM): Yeah, the van is repaired.
Umbrafer (10:53:36 PM): (Whew.)
Thematrian1 (10:53:38 PM): Though it cost quite a bit
Umbrafer (10:53:44 PM): (Indeed it did.)
MilesMk1 (10:53:51 PM): (Yup... Can you just maybe post on the board what ammo Ed has for me - how much, and what prices? No rush, though.)
MilesMk1 (10:58:20 PM): Ok... Thanks for the long NPC-developing session (now if I only knew what I was doing...) Hope you feel better, and goodnight. :)
Thematrian1 (10:58:30 PM): ok, sleep well
Umbrafer (10:58:48 PM): (I second that.)
Umbrafer (10:58:54 PM): (*Waves*)
