MilesMk1 (8:37:55 PM): Hello.
Thematrian1 (8:38:02 PM): good evening all
CirclMastr (8:38:26 PM): SPIDERMONKEYS ARE THE DEVIL'S WORK!
MilesMk1 (8:39:05 PM): Yeah, ok... No more solvents and household cleaners for you. :p
Thematrian1 (8:40:16 PM): so, how about them new folks?
Thematrian1 (8:40:38 PM): Gem arranged the purchase of a bunch of stuff, and we saw that black clown some omre.
Umbrafer (8:40:44 PM): One of 'em missed their bus, so it'll be a few minutes.
Thematrian1 (8:41:09 PM): ah
MilesMk1 (8:41:57 PM): And the other?
Umbrafer (8:42:05 PM): No idea. Gonna ask the one.
MilesMk1 (8:42:09 PM): Ah.
terminal handle has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (8:42:58 PM): Hello.
terminal handle (8:43:08 PM): hello hello!
Umbrafer (8:43:44 PM): It appears our final person is out of commission due to exams.
Thematrian1 (8:44:03 PM): frown
terminal handle (8:44:09 PM): a likely story.
CirclMastr (8:44:58 PM): Monopoly killed it
terminal handle (8:45:18 PM): monopoly's dead?
terminal handle (8:45:25 PM): irrevocably?
CirclMastr (8:45:29 PM): More or less.
Umbrafer (8:45:29 PM): Given that I won a utility for ¥5…
terminal handle (8:45:37 PM): point taken
CirclMastr (8:45:41 PM): Might start a new game when school slows down
terminal handle (8:45:54 PM): Doomburg will rise again.
Umbrafer (8:46:00 PM): *Chants* Age of Renaissance! Age of Renaissance!
Thematrian1 (8:46:44 PM): I'm not sure how well that would work.
CirclMastr (8:46:46 PM): I don't know how to play! I don't know how to play!
Thematrian1 (8:46:54 PM): You'd need to take a picture of the board after each move, or something.
terminal handle (8:47:34 PM): it was kinda working.
Umbrafer (8:47:42 PM): Hm. I may have to try that. Only problem is, as the only one with the game, I'd have to run it and thus wouldn't be able to play… but I can deal with that.
terminal handle (8:47:44 PM): then people forgot thyey were playing.
MilesMk1 (8:49:00 PM): Well, I was checking it, just not very often, once I saw no new moves were happening, and since I assume everyone sort of did the same thing, we started to check it less and less...
terminal handle (8:51:14 PM): it'll make its triumphant return.
terminal handle (8:51:19 PM): then the railways will be mine again.
Umbrafer (8:51:40 PM): When we last left off, Mr. Clown-Pants had just vanished into thin air (or one of three doors), and Gem had gone on a shopping spree.
MilesMk1 (8:52:24 PM): One of the three doors? Did I leave early, last time? I don't remember that part...
Thematrian1 (8:52:27 PM): Yeah.
Umbrafer (8:52:52 PM): He chased the clown into an alley. Three closed doors in the alley.
MilesMk1 (8:52:59 PM): I guess Glitch doesn't know either, so it's fine...
CirclMastr (8:53:27 PM): (brb, dinner)
Thematrian1 (8:54:36 PM): So, we have a job. Not an extraction, a smash-and-intimidate.
CirclMastr (8:54:37 PM): (back)
Umbrafer (8:55:52 PM): Any final actions before the meet?
Thematrian1 (8:56:14 PM): I think I'm good.
CirclMastr (8:56:18 PM): Gain 100 karma
Thematrian1 (8:56:31 PM): woo
Thematrian1 (8:56:36 PM): I initiate five times
terminal handle (8:56:48 PM): i make a grand entrance.
terminal handle (8:56:50 PM): everyone is wowed.
terminal handle (8:56:54 PM): the crowds fall in love.
CirclMastr (8:57:06 PM): I'm too old and cynical to fall in love with a grand entrance
Thematrian1 (8:57:39 PM): Gem is entranced.
Thematrian1 (9:01:19 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 6 5 2
Thematrian1 (9:02:40 PM): So: Gem, Glitch, and MacLeod mount up and head for the meet location?
Umbrafer (9:03:31 PM): Indeed you do. It's a seedy bar in a seedy part of Tacoma.
Thematrian1 (9:03:52 PM): Good times. What time was the meet?
Umbrafer (9:04:22 PM): 10:30 PM.
Thematrian1 (9:04:45 PM): Then Gem brings her standard array.
Umbrafer (9:05:15 PM): Gem strikes a blow for standards.
Thematrian1 (9:05:26 PM): Damn skippy.
Thematrian1 (9:05:37 PM): Can't be a shadowrunner without standards.
Umbrafer (9:06:08 PM): ICSS? International Committee on Shadowrunning and Sabotage?
Umbrafer (9:06:17 PM): Anyone else have special instructions?
MilesMk1 (9:07:09 PM): I don't bring anything special, my stealth-related gear tends to be painfully obvious in public places, ironically enough...
Umbrafer (9:08:11 PM): MacLeod? Any particular gear or just the usual?
CirclMastr (9:08:47 PM): Usual + new transceiver
Umbrafer (9:09:03 PM): What are you hooking the tranceiver to, out of interest?
MilesMk1 (9:09:44 PM): He needs to hook it up to something?
Thematrian1 (9:09:47 PM): Anyway, when the time comes I call Glitch and ask him to meet me at a nearby corner, for the meet.
Umbrafer (9:09:50 PM): Oops
Umbrafer (9:10:01 PM): Sorry, brain replaced tranceiver with transducer.
MilesMk1 (9:11:03 PM): Ok... I drive out to pick up Gem, carrying a transceiver connected to my transducer, a heavy pistol, and a leatherman (or whatever) multi-tool.
MilesMk1 (9:11:32 PM): Standard armor setup, no ruthenium...
Umbrafer (9:12:30 PM): You show up with transducer, HP, and kevlarman.
Umbrafer (9:13:50 PM): It's drizzling slightly. This surprises no one.
Thematrian1 (9:14:04 PM): It annoys Gem. Not quite the same thing, I know...
CirclMastr (9:16:08 PM): ::mostly ignores it::
Thematrian1 (9:16:37 PM): Gem makes an "after you" gesture to MacLeod
CirclMastr (9:17:03 PM): ::bows a bit and goes first::
terminal handle (9:18:24 PM): ::a sizeable van pulls into the parking lot::
terminal handle (9:18:59 PM): it ignores handicapped parking and stops next the front door.
terminal handle (9:20:02 PM): the rear doors open and a woman in a black dress emerges.
terminal handle (9:20:52 PM): through the door, into the establishment to find the meet.
Umbrafer (9:21:51 PM): Actions from the rest of the crew?
Thematrian1 (9:22:05 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 5 4 6 4
CirclMastr (9:22:11 PM): Do we see said woman in black?
Umbrafer (9:22:29 PM): You pulled in as she was getting out.
CirclMastr (9:22:57 PM): ::aside to Gem:: "Isn't she a bit overdressed?"
Thematrian1 (9:23:32 PM): "She may want to stand out."
CirclMastr (9:23:47 PM): "Why?"
Thematrian1 (9:26:18 PM): "Because she likes drawing attention? I don't read minds, MacLeod."
CirclMastr (9:27:17 PM): "You're closer to her generation than I am, not to mention gender. I probably won't understand women even if I live to a thousand."
Thematrian1 (9:27:42 PM): "No, probably not."
Thematrian1 (9:27:51 PM): I scan the crowd. What have we got here tonight?
Umbrafer (9:28:29 PM): Mostly working-class, a few that look like they've got colours.
Thematrian1 (9:30:39 PM): anybody J-looking? Failing that, what were we given for contact information?
Umbrafer (9:30:53 PM): There's a table with a copy of The Wealth of Nations on it, that being the sign you'd been told to expect.
Umbrafer (9:31:11 PM): The woman is sitting there, as is a stuffy-looking man.
MilesMk1 (9:31:19 PM): Can I scan the crowd with my super-senses? ;)
CirclMastr (9:31:30 PM): ::has a seat at the table and grunts gruffly::
terminal handle (9:31:39 PM): i'm looking bored and a little insulted by this man.
terminal handle (9:31:56 PM): ::nod and smile::
Umbrafer (9:32:09 PM): Go for it.
Umbrafer (9:32:26 PM): Incidentally, character descriptions from everyone.
MilesMk1 (9:32:33 PM): *Has a seat at the table and scans the crowd*
MilesMk1 (9:32:38 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 5 5 1 3
MilesMk1 (9:32:41 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (9:32:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
CirclMastr (9:33:21 PM): <- A short-haired boy, doesn't look like he's more than 14, wearing street clothes and a trenchcoat, which looks pretty fucking messed up on his small frame.
Thematrian1 (9:33:34 PM): (sorry about that, I had to convince the guy yelling at my window that I don't sell drugs)
Umbrafer (9:33:44 PM): (Hehehe)
Umbrafer (9:33:57 PM): (You should have sold him some flour. Maybe he'd've snorted it.)
Thematrian1 (9:34:19 PM): (No, the one thing you don't do is defraud drug addicts)
Umbrafer (9:34:48 PM): (Not without anonymity or heavy weaponry and a solid door, but yeah.)
terminal handle (9:35:40 PM): <- woman in her mid- or late-twenties, rather pale and not quite looking at anything in particular. wearing a black dress meant for clubbing rather than weddings. there are tattoos writing and visible at the sleeves.::
terminal handle (9:35:49 PM): *writhing
terminal handle (9:36:18 PM): fiddling with a small drone which vaguely resembles a bee
Thematrian1 (9:36:50 PM): Gem's a human woman, medium height and perhaps in her thirties, though she has an ageless look that makes it hard to tell for certain. She wears dark hair long, over a long-sleeved white jacket.
CirclMastr (9:37:12 PM): "Those tattoos mean anything?"
terminal handle (9:37:59 PM): ::little grin:: "Royalty."
CirclMastr (9:38:22 PM): "Whatever you say, kid."
terminal handle (9:38:35 PM): ::eyelashes batted, flitting over one black and one white eye::
Thematrian1 (9:38:47 PM): To MacLeod: "I should start introducing you as my son, just for spite"
MilesMk1 (9:38:51 PM): <- An asian male in his late twenties, hair cropped extremely short, barely taller than the boy, but stocky and very fit, wearing a designer secure jacket, with visible cybereyes and a datajack behind one ear.
MilesMk1 (9:39:16 PM): (they still don't have non-obvious cybereyes in your game, right?)
CirclMastr (9:39:26 PM): "More like the other way around, girly."
Umbrafer (9:39:47 PM): (Correct. They're still working out some issues with parts of the mechanics)
MilesMk1 (9:40:28 PM): (Ok... mine are a solid jade color, then.)
CirclMastr (9:40:44 PM): "So what do you whippersnappers want?"
Umbrafer (9:41:35 PM): (Addressed to the J and the woman?)
CirclMastr (9:41:53 PM): (Yeah)
Thematrian1 (9:42:22 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 2 1 1 2
Thematrian1 (9:43:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Thematrian1 (9:43:05 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
MilesMk1 (9:44:39 PM): Wait, there's a J?
CirclMastr (9:44:47 PM): Yeah
MilesMk1 (9:45:03 PM): Ah, ok. I missed the "stuffy-looking man" reference.
Umbrafer (9:45:05 PM): There's a stuffy-looking guy, at least.
MilesMk1 (9:45:20 PM): So, my perception roll turn up anything?
MilesMk1 (9:45:35 PM): How quickly are their hearts beating? ;)
Thematrian1 (9:45:52 PM): ::saunters up to the table::
Thematrian1 (9:46:01 PM): "That's a good book."
Umbrafer (9:46:06 PM): About eighty BPM.
Umbrafer (9:46:41 PM): Er
Umbrafer (9:46:46 PM): Yeah, that's accurate.
Umbrafer (9:47:06 PM): "Thanks, I thought so too. What do you think of the modern Capitalist system?"
Thematrian1 (9:47:28 PM): "It concentrates the wealth in one place. Sometimes that's handy."
Thematrian1 (9:47:31 PM): ::big smile::
CirclMastr (9:48:02 PM): "Depending on where you stand. Back in my day, you got rich with LUCK, and you liked it!"
Umbrafer (9:48:21 PM): "Sometimes a little wealth gets redistributed. Have a seat?"
Thematrian1 (9:48:39 PM): Gem nods to the black-dress lady, and takes the invitation.
terminal handle (9:48:50 PM): ::to the little guy:: "your day?"
CirclMastr (9:49:13 PM): "Yeah, before your time."
MilesMk1 (9:49:30 PM): #Don't tell them about it. Please. It makes people uncomfortable.#
terminal handle (9:49:38 PM): "hahaha i'm sure."
CirclMastr (9:50:23 PM): ::mutters about young punks::
Thematrian1 (9:51:11 PM): "So, I heard you need some help."
Umbrafer (9:51:12 PM): Mr. Stuffy sips a drink and watches the proceedings.
Umbrafer (9:51:34 PM): "Yes. We've encountered an unfortunate obstacle that we need some help with. Drinks?"
CirclMastr (9:51:50 PM): "Scotch. REAL scotch."
Umbrafer (9:53:08 PM): "I'm not sure if they have it, but I'll try."
terminal handle (9:53:18 PM): "none for me."
MilesMk1 (9:53:36 PM): "No, thank you."
CirclMastr (9:54:05 PM): "If it's not real, don't bother."
Thematrian1 (9:54:32 PM): Gem declines with a shake of her head.
Umbrafer (9:54:58 PM): He nods. "Business, then. There's a certain place, a street clinic that has been… an inconvenience."
CirclMastr (9:55:00 PM): "And make sure they don't water it down."
Umbrafer (9:55:57 PM): "We want them to understand the precariousness of their position."
Umbrafer (9:56:52 PM): "But we don't want anyone hurt. That would be unfortunate, and might negatively affect their cooperative spirit."
Thematrian1 (9:57:36 PM): "So our purpose is just to prove to them that you could hurt them, as much or as little as you wanted, without actually doing so."
MilesMk1 (9:58:31 PM): "When you say you don't want anyone hurt, does that include any armed security personnel they might have?"
Umbrafer (9:58:33 PM): "Well, they wouldn't learn their lesson properly without a little property damage… not too much, mind you, they still need to operate. Oh, and it would be best if they didn't actually know you weren't supposed to hurt them.
Umbrafer (9:58:36 PM): "
Umbrafer (9:58:41 PM): "Unfortunately, it does."
MilesMk1 (9:58:51 PM): "I see..."
MilesMk1 (9:59:04 PM): "In that case, can you define 'hurt'"?
MilesMk1 (9:59:26 PM): "Is inhaling tear gas 'hurt', or do you mean cases requiring an emergency room visit?"
Umbrafer (10:00:06 PM): "Nothing requiring an emergency room visit."
MilesMk1 (10:00:56 PM): "But a bruise or two from gel rounds...?"
Umbrafer (10:01:20 PM): "All part of the risks of doing business."
MilesMk1 (10:01:32 PM): "Well, that's clear enough, then."
MilesMk1 (10:01:52 PM): "I'm sorry, Gem... You were saying?"
Thematrian1 (10:02:34 PM): "Just thinking. What kind of property damage did you have in mind? Not the vital equipment, obviously..."
Umbrafer (10:03:32 PM): "Oh, just anything that suits your fancy and scares them. Smash a chair or a window, blow open a wall, break something expensive-looking but not too vital (we've got medical equipment catalogues if you need them)… that kind of thing
Umbrafer (10:03:35 PM): *"
Thematrian1 (10:04:30 PM): "And the pay?"
Umbrafer (10:06:17 PM): "The pay, the pay. Well, we don't expect resistance to be overly heavy, but we recognize that there are some special requests… does ¥15,000 up front and ¥70,000 upon completion sound fair?"
CirclMastr (10:06:37 PM): "Apiece?"
Umbrafer (10:06:46 PM): He coughs politely. "No."
Thematrian1 (10:06:48 PM): ::snickers a bit::
CirclMastr (10:07:12 PM): "What a shock, I thought old people were supposed to be cheap."
Thematrian1 (10:07:33 PM): "I think eighty thousand on completion would be more appropriate. This is an unusual assignment, and it will require specialized equipment."
Umbrafer (10:07:46 PM): "Mmm…" Negotiations.
Thematrian1 (10:08:31 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 3 4 2 3
Thematrian1 (10:08:35 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Thematrian1 (10:08:38 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (10:08:41 PM): (Aptitude!)
Thematrian1 (10:08:46 PM): (Good Reputation!)
Umbrafer (10:09:28 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 1 3 1 5 2
Thematrian1 (10:09:42 PM): (Bah. I should have asked for more)
Umbrafer (10:10:32 PM): (You only would have gotten ¥2,750 more, anyway)
Umbrafer (10:10:47 PM): "You make a compelling point. Eighty it is."
Umbrafer (10:11:16 PM): (Er, never mind, I overestimated your net successes. Bank error in your favour)
CirclMastr (10:12:08 PM): (That's only good for $200)
Thematrian1 (10:13:36 PM): Gem scans the other runners.
Umbrafer (10:14:11 PM): "If you'll excuse me for a moment, I'll see about that scotch."
Thematrian1 (10:14:23 PM): ::smiles at his tact::
Thematrian1 (10:15:58 PM): Once he's gone. "I don't believe we've met, ma'am."
terminal handle (10:16:46 PM): "we've not. i'm pleased to meet you all. call me Scavengers."
CirclMastr (10:17:06 PM): "Scavengers?"
Thematrian1 (10:17:08 PM): (not Scavenger?)
Umbrafer (10:17:13 PM): (You plural person, you)
Umbrafer (10:17:26 PM): (Hey, no one complains when someone calls themself Seraphim)
terminal handle (10:17:29 PM): (singular or plural? who knows?)
Thematrian1 (10:17:46 PM): (That's because that group doesn't know the singular)
terminal handle (10:18:02 PM): "Scavengers." ":points to the bee drone, which lifts off to inspect the group::
Thematrian1 (10:18:14 PM): ::eyes it::
Umbrafer (10:18:26 PM): Now that you've got a good look at it, it's a rather large bee.
terminal handle (10:18:30 PM): ::smile:: "there are more."
Umbrafer (10:18:47 PM): Slightly smaller than a toaster, all told.
Thematrian1 (10:18:58 PM): (Yeah, that's a huge freakin' bee)
CirclMastr (10:20:05 PM): "Compensating for something?"
Thematrian1 (10:20:26 PM): "So, will we? We need more information, but street clinics aren't usually well-defended. They don't need to be."
Thematrian1 (10:20:33 PM): ::deliberately ignores MacLeod::
Umbrafer (10:20:34 PM): (Brb, foon)
terminal handle (10:21:02 PM): ::obvious laugh at, not with, MacLeod::
terminal handle (10:21:11 PM): (semantics!)
CirclMastr (10:21:35 PM): "You should show some respect, girl."
Thematrian1 (10:22:13 PM): "Professional courtesy, dear."
terminal handle (10:22:24 PM): "and you don't want to be giving this first impression, little man."
MilesMk1 (10:22:31 PM): "The only issue I can think of is getting a bad rep for busting up something that might be providing services to our demographic, but how likely is that?"
Thematrian1 (10:23:34 PM): ::wrinkles her nose:: "If we can't keep them from spotting us, maybe we deserve it."
MilesMk1 (10:24:03 PM): "Just saying..."
Thematrian1 (10:24:11 PM): She nods.
Thematrian1 (10:26:22 PM): "But it's a good fee for something so simple."
MilesMk1 (10:27:05 PM): "Which begs the question of whether it's just a good fee because the situation is delicate, and requires care, or there's some more sinister reason..."
MilesMk1 (10:27:19 PM): "But I guess that's always the case, with any job."
CirclMastr (10:27:40 PM): #Not much chance of me getting what I want here, it looks like#
terminal handle (10:27:55 PM): "...and it may not be enough to keep my hands off everyone there."
Thematrian1 (10:27:57 PM): "We have to do our own research. But we're well equipped, what with one thing and another."
Thematrian1 (10:28:06 PM): ::glance at the bee as she says that::
Thematrian1 (10:28:09 PM): "How do you mean?
MilesMk1 (10:28:50 PM): #Oh, god... What the hell does she scavenge, I suddenly wonder...#
terminal handle (10:28:56 PM): "nothing you need to worry about."
terminal handle (10:29:19 PM): "i can be good if i need to."
CirclMastr (10:29:42 PM): #Bodies, by the sound of it. Not the kind of person I like.#
Umbrafer (10:30:45 PM): (Gomen, I return)
MilesMk1 (10:30:59 PM): "'Nothing you need to worry about.' is one of those things you should never say in this business, because no one will believe it anyway... Care to elaborate?"
Thematrian1 (10:31:00 PM): "Good, good. What is it that you do, by the way, besides control metal bees?"
terminal handle (10:31:53 PM): "i drive a rather large van which moves fast and has room for three."
Thematrian1 (10:32:08 PM): ::counts:: "Oh dear."
terminal handle (10:32:10 PM): "as well as room for my other drones"
CirclMastr (10:32:25 PM): ::is not happy::
terminal handle (10:33:51 PM): terminal handle rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 4 3 1
terminal handle (10:33:54 PM): terminal handle rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Thematrian1 (10:35:07 PM): "The other thing we need is the time-frame. Research, maybe purchase some special gear, then break in, threaten, and break out."
MilesMk1 (10:36:43 PM): "Well, he'll be back eventually, and we can ask about timeframe..."
MilesMk1 (10:37:20 PM): (BTW, sorry, guys, but I've been sick and I'm fading fast here, I should really call it a night)
Thematrian1 (10:37:30 PM): "I'm just thinking out loud. It dpeneds how things are set up. Can we stealth past the guards?"
Thematrian1 (10:37:56 PM): (Sleep well, then)
MilesMk1 (10:37:57 PM): "And then break things, threaten the employees, and leave? Sounds unlikely. Even for me..."
CirclMastr (10:38:00 PM): (Night)
MilesMk1 (10:38:11 PM): "Still, we should consider all options..."
Umbrafer (10:38:12 PM): (Sleep well)
terminal handle (10:38:16 PM): (g'night, duderJ)
MilesMk1 (10:38:17 PM): (night)
CirclMastr (10:38:18 PM): ::eyes Scavengers evilly::
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

terminal handle (10:38:57 PM): "don't fret, little man. i know how to run."
Thematrian1 (10:39:30 PM): "How are you at sneaking in to places?"
CirclMastr (10:39:58 PM): "That's not what I'm worried about."
terminal handle (10:40:03 PM): "not at all."
terminal handle (10:41:03 PM): "i have a few fliers which could help, but somebody would get hurt."
Thematrian1 (10:41:47 PM): "Well, we don't want that..." ::thinks some more::
CirclMastr (10:42:48 PM): #You could kill me and drop me at the clinic, then when I wake up it'd certainly scare the fuck out of them.#
Thematrian1 (10:43:30 PM): #We'll save that for a last resort.#
CirclMastr (10:43:53 PM): ( "No, I insist you kill me!" ;D )
CirclMastr (10:44:20 PM): (Sort of like that DSF thread about stupid deaths, "Hey guys, cut off my head and stick it to the evil walls!" )
Thematrian1 (10:45:14 PM): (Yeah, that wasn't the best of plans. But he was so certain...)
CirclMastr (10:45:43 PM): (Anyway...)
Thematrian1 (10:47:50 PM): "I might be able to procure another drone for you, that doesn't kill its targets."
terminal handle (10:49:08 PM): ::nods:: i welcome it. meanwhile i'll see how i can modify my own.
Thematrian1 (10:49:39 PM): "Put you in touch with a seller, at any rate. Can any of yours use gel rounds?"
terminal handle (10:49:54 PM): "several."
Thematrian1 (10:50:29 PM): "That might be enough."
CirclMastr (10:53:14 PM): ::isn't happy, still::
Thematrian1 (10:54:13 PM): #What, are you unhappy that you're not going to get to kill anyone this time? Maybe this is karma, giving you a hint."
CirclMastr (10:54:36 PM): #I'm unhappy there's basically no chance of meeting another Immortal on this run.#
Thematrian1 (10:55:22 PM): #So decapitate yourself on the trid, and see what comes calling.#
CirclMastr (10:56:34 PM): #...#
Thematrian1 (10:57:02 PM): "So. It sounds like we're taking the job?"
CirclMastr (10:57:50 PM): ::mutters noncommitally::
Umbrafer (10:58:56 PM): If discussion does not overtly continue, the J makes his way back empty-handed.
Umbrafer (11:01:04 PM): "Nothing that passed as scotch, sad to say."
CirclMastr (11:01:18 PM): ::mutters some more::
Umbrafer (11:03:00 PM): He slides back into his seat.
Umbrafer (11:03:10 PM): Glitch seems to have fallen asleep.
Thematrian1 (11:03:29 PM): (Heh, that's pretty unprofessional, no?)
Thematrian1 (11:03:38 PM): "What time frame are we looking at, for this job?"
Umbrafer (11:04:02 PM): (Hey, we're talking Shadowrunners here. At least he don't pity da foo')
Umbrafer (11:04:18 PM): "Oh… not today, not tomorrow either. But within the week."
Umbrafer (11:05:12 PM): He checks his watch.
Umbrafer (11:05:27 PM): "Sorry, not tomorrow or the next day. Still within the week."
Thematrian1 (11:05:56 PM): "So, you don't want it done too early, either."
Thematrian1 (11:06:25 PM): ::scan these people by eye one more time. If nobody has anything else to add...:: "We accept."
CirclMastr (11:06:26 PM): #Maybe he threatened them and they'll be on guard for a few days.#
Umbrafer (11:06:52 PM): "Very well."
Thematrian1 (11:07:16 PM): "Tell us the address, and what you know of their security procedures."
Umbrafer (11:09:06 PM): "It's right near the intersection between Pershing and Oak street." *Gives more details; it's a location in a midscale part of Bellevue*
Thematrian1 (11:09:30 PM): Damn. So there'll be actual security response if they get the call off. That's tragic.
Umbrafer (11:10:00 PM): "Security procedures… they have guards, typically with batons. They keep tasers and the like in security closets."
terminal handle (11:10:10 PM): "that is something i may be able to help with already."
terminal handle (11:10:22 PM): (preventing the call)
CirclMastr (11:11:21 PM): (Comment was OOC)
Umbrafer (11:11:35 PM): "Depending on time and day they have between three and five guards on-site. They've also got a contract with Knight Errant, whose nearest fixed response team is ten minutes away by ground, more during Rush Hour."
terminal handle (11:11:36 PM): (it has been ages. :()
Umbrafer (11:12:18 PM): "Most of the guards double as general-purpose handymen, though."
Umbrafer (11:12:40 PM): "Most of their energy is focused around guarding the pharmacy."
Thematrian1 (11:12:41 PM): ::nod:: "Other personnel? Specifically, who's in charge?"
Umbrafer (11:13:42 PM): "The director of the clinic is one Meyer Riggs."
Umbrafer (11:14:25 PM): "He works in an office near the surgical wing."
Umbrafer (11:15:05 PM): "Perhaps 'wing' is an exaggeration. They have two theatres."
Thematrian1 (11:16:03 PM): ::nod::
Thematrian1 (11:16:23 PM): (to herself) "They'll have plans filed, even if they've made modifications it's a start..."
Umbrafer (11:18:17 PM): "They have cameras in the lobby and pharmacy, but not through the rest of the building. Privacy issues."
Thematrian1 (11:18:39 PM): "Matrix link?"
Umbrafer (11:19:42 PM): "Yes, actually. Matrix security is the most comprehensive, but you're the professionals, there may be a way."
Thematrian1 (11:19:59 PM): ::nod, small smile::
Umbrafer (11:24:35 PM): "Are there any questions or concerns?:
CirclMastr (11:24:56 PM): ::shakes head::
terminal handle (11:25:09 PM): "none."
Thematrian1 (11:25:24 PM): "I take it they'll know without being told who we represent?"
Umbrafer (11:25:44 PM): "If they don't figure it out, no need to let them know."
Thematrian1 (11:25:53 PM): ::blink::
Thematrian1 (11:25:59 PM): "Then I am content"
Umbrafer (11:27:33 PM): He nods, then slides a small bag out onto the table.
Umbrafer (11:27:43 PM): Unless anyone moves to stop him, he rises and departs.
Thematrian1 (11:28:01 PM): ::grab bag, open, count::
Umbrafer (11:29:27 PM): Three sticks, ¥4,888, ¥5121, and ¥4,991.
Umbrafer (11:29:42 PM): Also, four chips.
Thematrian1 (11:31:26 PM): I'll grab one and look it over by eye
Umbrafer (11:31:44 PM): Looks like a fairly ordinary OMC
terminal handle (11:32:02 PM): ::bee scampers over, and slides a chip to Scavengers::
Thematrian1 (11:32:23 PM): "Only one way to know..."
Thematrian1 (11:32:42 PM): ::eye contact with MacLeod:: "Please pull this out, if I lose consciousness or anything."
Thematrian1 (11:32:44 PM): ::slot it::
CirclMastr (11:33:36 PM): ::ready to yank it if she starts smoking::
Umbrafer (11:33:51 PM): You die. But then a copy of you seamlessly picks up where the old one left off. The chip now contains contact information as well as a copy of most of the info the J gave you.
Thematrian1 (11:35:25 PM): ::slots a different one::
Umbrafer (11:35:36 PM): Same info.
Thematrian1 (11:35:43 PM): ::nod::
Thematrian1 (11:35:51 PM): "Copies for each of us."
Umbrafer (11:36:44 PM): You notice, tucked away in the bag, a fifth chip.
Thematrian1 (11:36:49 PM): ::pounce::
Umbrafer (11:38:00 PM): Gem has pounced upon the chip.
Thematrian1 (11:38:06 PM): ::slot::
Umbrafer (11:38:12 PM): Same info.
CirclMastr (11:38:25 PM): "...."
Thematrian1 (11:38:40 PM): ::removes it. Checks the others, just to be sure::
CirclMastr (11:38:51 PM): "Tracer, maybe?"
Thematrian1 (11:39:05 PM): Looking at Scavengers, holding up one of the chips. "Trade you."
Umbrafer (11:39:08 PM): All seem identical. MD5-2055 hashes are identical.
Thematrian1 (11:39:15 PM): hah
terminal handle (11:41:48 PM): ::wink:: "i'll hold on to this one."
Thematrian1 (11:42:09 PM): ::shrug:: as you like
Thematrian1 (11:42:16 PM): (with ""'s)
Umbrafer (11:45:16 PM): You are hereby advised to take all actions before, rather than after, the GM falls asleep at the keyboard.
Thematrian1 (11:45:29 PM): that's nonsense
Thematrian1 (11:45:44 PM): Ok, what say we go to bed and do a bunch of legwork next week?
CirclMastr (11:45:49 PM): Sounds good
Umbrafer (11:45:57 PM): Sounds good to me as well.
Umbrafer (11:46:18 PM): Tuesday for some of ye', Thursday for the rest then?
Thematrian1 (11:46:36 PM): sooth
terminal handle (11:46:52 PM): (women...sheesh)
terminal handle (11:47:06 PM): thursday continues to be perfect.
Umbrafer (11:47:36 PM): Woo.
Umbrafer (11:47:40 PM): (John?)
Thematrian1 (11:47:56 PM): Made some good movies
terminal handle (11:48:22 PM): made versus, which will be worshipped as a god in the distant future.
Umbrafer (11:48:30 PM): Indeed.
CirclMastr (11:48:58 PM): Never saw it.
CirclMastr (11:49:16 PM): In fact, I'm not sure I've seen any of his movies.
Umbrafer (11:49:25 PM): Versus is wonderful.
Thematrian1 (11:49:33 PM): versus?
Umbrafer (11:49:37 PM): You must watch it if you hope to have reflexes fifty times that of Mike Tyson.
