terminal handle (9:10:31 PM): shucks howdy.
Thematrian1 (9:11:15 PM): So let's see...party was kinda busy when we broke
CirclMastr has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:13:04 PM): MacLeod was menacing, Glitch was intruding, Gem was trying to cover you in the matrix
CirclMastr (9:13:31 PM): Ooooh, I'm evil
MilesMk1 (9:15:14 PM): (Actually, I also just stun-grenaded some people.)
Thematrian1 (9:15:29 PM): (That falls under intruding, I'd say)
MilesMk1 (9:17:09 PM): (Fair enough)
Umbrafer (9:17:14 PM): (Yeah, it was a bit of an intrusion)
Thematrian1 (9:17:42 PM): Scavengers was doing whatever. MacLeod was in the lobby. I was sparing some time to look for panic button/silent alarm things.
Thematrian1 (9:17:49 PM): How did that work out for me, by the bye?
Umbrafer (9:18:36 PM): I don't remember, but I'll assume you found it: the traces led off into the Host of Doom.
CirclMastr (9:18:49 PM): Hey, I'm the one being faced with a gun
Thematrian1 (9:19:15 PM): Could I tell whether it had been tripped?
Umbrafer (9:19:38 PM): Roll Computers in an unopposed roll not augmented by hacking pool.
Thematrian1 (9:20:14 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 3 4 4 5
Thematrian1 (9:20:18 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 6
Thematrian1 (9:20:21 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (9:20:55 PM): You think you could, but you can't guarantee it.
Thematrian1 (9:21:09 PM): uh. k. Has it been tripped?
Umbrafer (9:21:15 PM): Ah
Umbrafer (9:21:23 PM): It does not seem to have been.
Thematrian1 (9:21:46 PM): That was an action, I expect; next turn I'd like to jigger it so that it can't be
Umbrafer (9:21:58 PM): Reaction test from MacLeod
CirclMastr (9:22:10 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 5 4 6
Umbrafer (9:22:12 PM): /roll-dice6
CirclMastr (9:22:13 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
CirclMastr (9:22:13 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (9:22:15 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 3 5 4 3
CirclMastr (9:22:19 PM): Booyah, fear my 14
Umbrafer (9:22:30 PM): He fails to catch you by surprise. Initiative time.
Umbrafer (9:22:34 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 4
CirclMastr (9:22:44 PM): Wired fucker..
CirclMastr (9:22:45 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
CirclMastr (9:23:50 PM): 9 total for me
Umbrafer (9:23:57 PM): Since you already had him at swordpoint (I'm going to treat that as a Held Action), I'm going to kick your action forward to before his rather than after. Sound fair?
CirclMastr (9:24:23 PM): Sweet
CirclMastr (9:24:32 PM): ...We lose money if I kill him, right?
Umbrafer (9:24:38 PM): Yes.
Umbrafer (9:24:43 PM): Well, you think so.
CirclMastr (9:24:48 PM): ...Do we lose money if I hurt him?
Thematrian1 (9:25:00 PM): (Yes, probably)
Umbrafer (9:25:03 PM): As I remember, that was left vague.
Thematrian1 (9:25:16 PM): (If you do anything that will need a visit to the doctor, that would be bad, was my impression at the time)
terminal handle (9:25:17 PM): (Not vague enough.)
Umbrafer (9:25:27 PM): (No lasting harm, basically)
Umbrafer (9:25:40 PM): (Yeah, that's pretty much what it was)
CirclMastr (9:25:56 PM): Phooey. Alright, guess that leaves attacking the gun. That a called shot or what?
MilesMk1 (9:25:58 PM): (Stun Damage = Good. Lethal Damage = Bad)
Umbrafer (9:26:13 PM): Called shot.
MilesMk1 (9:26:16 PM): (actually, there's always the Bokken of Death)
CirclMastr (9:26:24 PM): I don't feel like dropping my katana to draw a bokken. It'd kill my credibility as a hostage-taker, too.
CirclMastr (9:26:47 PM): *Tries to remember what combat pool I had*
MilesMk1 (9:26:51 PM): 7
MilesMk1 (9:26:54 PM): I believe.
CirclMastr (9:27:01 PM): Sure.
CirclMastr (9:27:10 PM): Okay then, 3 pool to the swipe
CirclMastr (9:27:15 PM): CirclMastr rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 6 4 2 6 6 3 5
CirclMastr (9:27:18 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 3 5 2
CirclMastr (9:27:20 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
CirclMastr (9:27:21 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (9:27:33 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 6 3 6 4 5
CirclMastr (9:27:36 PM): 22, 11, 9, 8, 5
Umbrafer (9:27:41 PM): Reach is what, and who is it being applied towards?
CirclMastr (9:27:50 PM): 1, lowering my TN.
Umbrafer (9:29:05 PM): He darts backwards, but you catch the gun. He brings his arm around to keep it from getting knocked out of his hand, but it's good for a +2 TN on his shots for the rest of the turn if he decides to make them.
Umbrafer (9:29:19 PM): (Ah, tie-goes-to-attacker)
Umbrafer (9:29:24 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 3 1 6 6 6 2 6 4 4 6 4 6 4 4
Umbrafer (9:29:33 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 2 6 6
Umbrafer (9:29:36 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 3
Umbrafer (9:29:41 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 5 2 2
Umbrafer (9:29:43 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (9:29:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CirclMastr (9:30:09 PM): That's way more dice than I'm comfortable with
terminal handle (9:30:45 PM): damn you, jon.
terminal handle (9:30:54 PM): i couldn't roll a 6 with 18 dice.
Umbrafer (9:31:09 PM): (It's true)
Umbrafer (9:31:16 PM): He backs off a few steps, bracing his wrist with the other hand.
CirclMastr (9:31:53 PM): "You gonna drop it or what?"
Umbrafer (9:32:11 PM): He does not drop it. The next combat turn starts. Init.
Umbrafer (9:32:19 PM): Is Glitch moving towards this at all?
CirclMastr (9:32:24 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (9:32:32 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 5
CirclMastr (9:32:33 PM): (Rule of 6! >_> I wish. 10)
MilesMk1 (9:32:42 PM): I didn't know it was my turn to go.
Umbrafer (9:33:01 PM): You aren't in LOS of the area, so all that really matters is your total movement
MilesMk1 (9:33:10 PM): Yes, Glitch will be moving briskly towards the front.
Thematrian1 (9:33:18 PM): mmm, fracas
Umbrafer (9:33:23 PM): Run? Walk?
MilesMk1 (9:33:51 PM): Running, as he slins the grenade launcher back and fast-draws his gun.
MilesMk1 (9:34:02 PM): (slings)
Umbrafer (9:34:53 PM): *Nods* Roll Init, you'll get there in the third pass (or too late to do anything in the second pass, if you only have two actions)
MilesMk1 (9:35:24 PM): (Glitch can't have three passes)
Umbrafer (9:35:31 PM): (Ah, fair enough) Ok, never mind then
MilesMk1 (9:35:46 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 4
MilesMk1 (9:35:50 PM): Init 10
MilesMk1 (9:36:10 PM): No matter which character I play, I always end up with one action short of what I should on average get...
Umbrafer (9:36:17 PM): :)
CirclMastr (9:36:30 PM): No matter what character I play, I die.
Umbrafer (9:36:40 PM): Anyway, it's MacLeod's turn.
Umbrafer (9:36:51 PM): The other guy appears to be taking aim.
CirclMastr (9:37:14 PM): Another chop at the gun. Go with five pool this time.
CirclMastr (9:37:18 PM): CirclMastr rolled 12 6-sided dice: 6 3 1 1 3 1 2 6 6 1 1 1
CirclMastr (9:37:21 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 4 3
Umbrafer (9:37:22 PM): He fires with his held action.
CirclMastr (9:37:28 PM): Look at all those ones
CirclMastr (9:37:41 PM): Yay I'll get to reroll my attack! >_>
Umbrafer (9:38:25 PM): Modifiers: lighting is good, MacLeod's moving more than Target Still but not as much as walking, two Take Aim actions cancel out the +2 for Firing in Melee, no smartlink
Umbrafer (9:38:36 PM): Umbrafer rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 1 4 3 5 2 4 2 3 2
CirclMastr (9:38:53 PM): Please tell me the TN was 6
Umbrafer (9:38:55 PM): 9M with four successes incoming.
CirclMastr (9:39:00 PM): Oh crap
Umbrafer (9:39:12 PM): You still have your pool, as the sword-chop didn't happen.
CirclMastr (9:39:17 PM): ..True
CirclMastr (9:39:32 PM): Six then, El Dodge-o
CirclMastr (9:39:37 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 1 5 6
CirclMastr (9:39:44 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (9:39:49 PM): You dodge like no one dodged before.
CirclMastr (9:39:52 PM): So much for multiple 6's. Still plenty
Umbrafer (9:39:55 PM): Well, not quite.
CirclMastr (9:40:08 PM): Not quite what?
Umbrafer (9:40:15 PM): Not quite like no one dodged before.
CirclMastr (9:40:18 PM): Ah.
CirclMastr (9:40:40 PM): So, now choppy?
Umbrafer (9:41:09 PM): Yep
CirclMastr (9:41:17 PM): Okay. No pool, then.
CirclMastr (9:41:20 PM): CirclMastr rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 2 3 4 2 3 5
CirclMastr (9:41:26 PM): ...Well hell.
Umbrafer (9:41:33 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 6
Umbrafer (9:41:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (9:43:17 PM): Amazingly enough, he hits you.
CirclMastr (9:43:25 PM): Pistol-whipping sucks
Umbrafer (9:43:31 PM): Resist 4M Stun.
CirclMastr (9:43:44 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 3 1 6 5
MilesMk1 (9:43:49 PM): ...
CirclMastr (9:43:51 PM): Boo!
Umbrafer (9:44:14 PM): You take L stun.
CirclMastr (9:44:28 PM): *Hugs Pain Resistance*
Thematrian1 (9:45:37 PM): Who's up?
CirclMastr (9:45:46 PM): He is. Again.
Umbrafer (9:46:27 PM): Yeo
Umbrafer (9:46:27 PM): *p
Umbrafer (9:46:31 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 6 3
Umbrafer (9:46:36 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (9:46:39 PM): One success.
CirclMastr (9:47:01 PM): Last pool to try Senor Dodge again
CirclMastr (9:47:05 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (9:47:11 PM): He pulls out the dodge.
Umbrafer (9:47:25 PM): Glitch bursts into the room.
CirclMastr (9:47:42 PM): How silly does THIS look to bystanders. The guy with the sword can't hit anything, the guy with the gun can't shoot anything.
Umbrafer (9:47:59 PM): But the guy with the gun can hit people. Maybe you should try shooting him.
CirclMastr (9:48:25 PM): I shoot him with my katana-gun!
Umbrafer (9:48:39 PM): You turn into Squall. You have an angst attack. Init?
Umbrafer (9:48:41 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
Thematrian1 (9:49:01 PM): Hey, I'll roll some init this time too
CirclMastr (9:49:02 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Thematrian1 (9:49:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
CirclMastr (9:49:02 PM): 10 again
Thematrian1 (9:49:12 PM): 18 (with +10 being-in-the-matrix-bonus)
Umbrafer (9:49:16 PM): Seiler acts first.
Umbrafer (9:49:20 PM): Rather, Gem does.
MilesMk1 (9:49:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 1
MilesMk1 (9:49:29 PM): 13 for me.
Umbrafer (9:49:48 PM): Your Reaction is 6? What's your uncybered Reaction?
MilesMk1 (9:49:56 PM): Me?
MilesMk1 (9:50:05 PM): 6
Thematrian1 (9:50:20 PM): (Wait, I have Reaction 5, sorry. Only 17)
Thematrian1 (9:50:33 PM): (I6 Q6 is just second nature, man...)
Umbrafer (9:50:50 PM): So your Reaction is entirely natural?
Umbrafer (9:51:07 PM): If so, you act first.
Thematrian1 (9:51:15 PM): (Yes, it is)
Thematrian1 (9:51:17 PM): woo
Umbrafer (9:51:25 PM): No, not you, you act first period
Umbrafer (9:51:37 PM): Sorry, I was tiebreaking Glitch and guard-dude
Umbrafer (9:51:54 PM): What's Gem's action?
Thematrian1 (9:51:58 PM): oh. I shut down that panic button.
Thematrian1 (9:52:06 PM): Spoof?
Umbrafer (9:52:14 PM): Roll Edit Slave. Yep
Thematrian1 (9:52:22 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 3 3 1 2
MilesMk1 (9:52:29 PM): (I've got a natural reaction of 6 and Boosted Reflexes 1)
Thematrian1 (9:52:35 PM): well...it might not fail...
Umbrafer (9:52:44 PM): (Ah, so you go before him. He's got natural 4 and Wired-1)
Umbrafer (9:52:53 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 1 1 4
Umbrafer (9:53:17 PM): It indeed does not fail. As far as you can tell you've eliminated any potentially incriminating dataflow, though it's hard to tell outside the Host of Doom.
Thematrian1 (9:53:58 PM): fair enough
Umbrafer (9:54:57 PM): Glitch?
MilesMk1 (9:55:15 PM): I no longer have runnign penalties, right? That was last turn.
Umbrafer (9:55:50 PM): That's correct, you get to decide your movement for this turn.
MilesMk1 (9:56:00 PM): I shoot the fucker.
MilesMk1 (9:56:26 PM): Wait... Any penalties because he's in melee with MacLeod?
Umbrafer (9:56:50 PM): I believe so. *Checks reference sheet*
MilesMk1 (9:57:02 PM): (Yeah, +2)
Umbrafer (9:57:19 PM): Yep
Umbrafer (9:57:22 PM): Mmk.
MilesMk1 (9:57:41 PM): Oh well. Shooting.
MilesMk1 (9:57:45 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 1 2 1 2 6
MilesMk1 (9:57:54 PM): Oh, fucking brilliant...
CirclMastr (9:58:12 PM): You got a 6 there
Umbrafer (9:58:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
Thematrian1 (9:58:44 PM): and you've got another one coming, no?
Umbrafer (9:58:47 PM): Wow. Power?
MilesMk1 (9:58:49 PM): Yeah.
MilesMk1 (9:58:58 PM): 6M stun
MilesMk1 (9:59:10 PM): 7M, rather
MilesMk1 (9:59:15 PM): (Gel round)
Umbrafer (9:59:52 PM): That gets reduced by Impact?
Umbrafer (9:59:57 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 2 5 4 4 2
CirclMastr (10:00:04 PM): ....
terminal handle (10:00:08 PM): what
CirclMastr (10:00:09 PM): I forgot I had armor
MilesMk1 (10:01:05 PM): (I think so, but I can't find the reference. The entry on p.116 SR3 doesn't say either way)
Umbrafer (10:01:23 PM): Well, he soaks and you've got another shot coming.
MilesMk1 (10:01:40 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 2 1 4 1
MilesMk1 (10:01:46 PM): Hrmph.
MilesMk1 (10:01:52 PM): At least that had more successes.,
Umbrafer (10:02:37 PM): Just to double-check, your adjusted TN is 4?
MilesMk1 (10:03:27 PM): It should be, unless there are mods beyond "enemy in melee"
Umbrafer (10:03:39 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 6 6
Umbrafer (10:03:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 5
Umbrafer (10:03:58 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 1 1 5 6
Umbrafer (10:04:01 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (10:04:33 PM): He doesn't seem to react to that one either, but it's clearly taking a lot of his attention away.
Umbrafer (10:04:53 PM): He gets next move, maintains the MacLeod-shootingness.
Umbrafer (10:04:56 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 1 6 4 1
Umbrafer (10:05:00 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (10:05:04 PM): One success
CirclMastr (10:05:32 PM): El Dodgy, 3 pool
CirclMastr (10:05:39 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 4
Umbrafer (10:05:44 PM): You dodge.
Umbrafer (10:05:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 2 5 1 4 1
MilesMk1 (10:05:53 PM): (I wonder what'd happen if I shot him with an unfused stun grenade at this distance)
Umbrafer (10:05:54 PM): Second shot misses cleanly.
CirclMastr (10:07:02 PM): My turn?
Umbrafer (10:07:35 PM): Your turn.
CirclMastr (10:07:47 PM): Slashy, rest of my pool, still on the gun
CirclMastr (10:07:56 PM): CirclMastr rolled 11 6-sided dice: 5 6 5 6 5 6 2 4 5 2 1
CirclMastr (10:08:12 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 1
CirclMastr (10:08:13 PM): Laggy
Umbrafer (10:08:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 1 5
Umbrafer (10:09:09 PM): (It is a tad, that's irksome) You manage to catch it a better blow.
Umbrafer (10:09:09 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 2 1 4
Umbrafer (10:09:19 PM): He fumbles it.
CirclMastr (10:09:37 PM): "When I tell you to drop it, you drop it, bastard."
MilesMk1 (10:09:48 PM): My turn?
Umbrafer (10:09:55 PM): Your turn.
MilesMk1 (10:10:48 PM): *shakes his head in disgust at his gun, and hits the guy in the back with a shock glove*
MilesMk1 (10:11:00 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 2 5 4 2 3 3 6 4 1
Umbrafer (10:11:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 3 3
Umbrafer (10:11:32 PM): *BZOOORP*
Umbrafer (10:11:36 PM): Power?
Umbrafer (10:11:38 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 3 5 2
CirclMastr (10:11:42 PM): Bzorp?
Umbrafer (10:11:44 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
MilesMk1 (10:12:00 PM): 7S stun
MilesMk1 (10:12:11 PM): Stupid lag.
Umbrafer (10:12:20 PM): Reduced by half impact, IIRC. He goes down.
CirclMastr (10:12:48 PM): "Now then, are the rest of you going to behave?" *Eying the others sinister-ly*
Umbrafer (10:13:39 PM): The person-whose-job-title-I-still-Receptionist! appears to not so much be behaving as deciding that the entire affair is a bad dream. She's curled up in a ball.
CirclMastr (10:14:39 PM): #Watch 'em, Glitch# *Goes over to the receptionist, sword not aimed at her*
Umbrafer (10:15:31 PM): You do so.
MilesMk1 (10:15:45 PM): (Who is there besides the receptionist?)
CirclMastr (10:16:30 PM): (One of the wigs, and one other person who complied, IIRC)
Umbrafer (10:16:40 PM): (There's Wig 5 and the guard)
CirclMastr (10:16:50 PM): (Ah well)
MilesMk1 (10:17:02 PM): (Wig 5 being female?)
CirclMastr (10:17:12 PM): *Quietly to the receptionist* "We won't hurt you, just come out and sit down, alright?"
Umbrafer (10:17:14 PM): (No, Wig 3 was female.)
Umbrafer (10:17:26 PM): (Wig 4 was dwarf, Wig 2 was married)
Umbrafer (10:17:48 PM): She does so, very reluctantly.
CirclMastr (10:18:14 PM): "Good."
Thematrian1 (10:18:27 PM): I'll search for phone lines out of the building
CirclMastr (10:18:28 PM): #So, what am I going to destroy?#
Umbrafer (10:18:45 PM): Roll it.
Thematrian1 (10:18:54 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 2 5 6 6 5 1
Thematrian1 (10:18:58 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 6
Thematrian1 (10:19:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (10:19:16 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 6 2 6
Umbrafer (10:19:20 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 5
Umbrafer (10:19:31 PM): You find them, they're not difficult to find.
Umbrafer (10:19:50 PM): The eyeballs are starting to get on your nerves.
terminal handle (10:19:51 PM): #Glitch, I need you to recover my drone.#
Thematrian1 (10:20:29 PM): Fair enough. Next chance I get, I'll take them down.
Umbrafer (10:20:50 PM): Hm?
MilesMk1 (10:20:53 PM): #Uh. Sure. Once we're finished with the mission specs, ok?#
CirclMastr (10:21:16 PM): #Could someone please tell me what I'm supposed to destroy?#
terminal handle (10:21:42 PM): #Any way I can speed them up, then?#
Thematrian1 (10:22:00 PM): Ok, abort the previous. I want the other wigs.
MilesMk1 (10:22:03 PM): #Basically, anything easily breakable and somewhat sensitive, but don't go overboard, we're not trying to put them out of business.#
CirclMastr (10:22:27 PM): *Looks around for stuff to break*
MilesMk1 (10:22:43 PM): (Ok... OOC question.)
Umbrafer (10:22:52 PM): (Fire away)
Umbrafer (10:23:10 PM): There's the fishtank (with some extremely nervous-looking fish), some cyberterminals, a trid unit, some nice-looking tables and chairs
MilesMk1 (10:23:37 PM): (It's been too damn long, and I keep forgetting. Our job was to intimidate one or more of the higher-ups and do property damage, right? It wasn't specified what we were to bust - just that we shouldn't wreck the place too badly.)
Umbrafer (10:24:09 PM): (That's correct. You got the idea that horribly expensive equipment, especially medical, was out but that everything else was fair game)
CirclMastr (10:24:17 PM): *Makes with the slashy on the trid unit first, then carves some nice obscene patterns on the table before turning the chairs to kindling*
CirclMastr (10:25:00 PM): (At some point I'd like "Got Wang?" inscribed prominently upon something)
Umbrafer (10:25:03 PM): The tables are glass, or more likely transparent plastic
MilesMk1 (10:25:09 PM): #Gem, can you give me directions to anything destructible fitting mission parameters on this floor?#
CirclMastr (10:25:19 PM): That doesn't sound very expensive
CirclMastr (10:25:31 PM): Or nice-looking
Umbrafer (10:25:34 PM): It's hard to tell without breaking it
Umbrafer (10:25:39 PM): It looks nice
CirclMastr (10:25:46 PM): Breaking away, then
Thematrian1 (10:25:49 PM): Can I?
Umbrafer (10:25:52 PM): Transparent plastic has gone pretty far in fifty years
Umbrafer (10:25:59 PM): Go for it, what exactly are you doing?
CirclMastr (10:26:14 PM): *Ker-break!*
Umbrafer (10:26:34 PM): They have nice taste. It was real glass.
Thematrian1 (10:26:35 PM): What's in Wig5's office?
MilesMk1 (10:26:36 PM): #I want to bust up some of their offices, maybe an exam room or two, the file room, and so on, without breaking any of the expensive medical equipment.#
Umbrafer (10:27:02 PM): The office insides are not covered by cams.
CirclMastr (10:27:25 PM): (Sweet, what's the floor like?)
Umbrafer (10:28:05 PM): (Carpeting. Nice but it doesn't look that expensive as far as carpeting goes. It's also now got glass in it in places)
Thematrian1 (10:28:29 PM): (Ok, what about the other bigwigs?)
MilesMk1 (10:28:33 PM): (Basically, I would like to grab Wig #5 by the collar with one hand - with the contacts on the shock glove uncomfortably close to his neck - and then drag him around as I fire some stun grenades into places filled with breakables.)
CirclMastr (10:28:37 PM): *Carves "Got Wang?" into the carpet and accents it with glass shards*
terminal handle (10:29:03 PM): (that is awesome.)
Umbrafer (10:29:12 PM): You do so. Where are the stun grenades going?
Umbrafer (10:29:19 PM): The fish look absolutely terrified.
CirclMastr (10:29:23 PM): *Pokes about the other rooms*
CirclMastr (10:29:31 PM): *Isn't planning on hurting innocent fish*
Thematrian1 (10:29:49 PM): Ok, if not the other bigwigs
Thematrian1 (10:29:59 PM): can I scan a clear path to Wig5's office?
Umbrafer (10:30:06 PM): Yes.
MilesMk1 (10:30:09 PM): I rely on Gem for precise info - but I concentrate on offices, places with computers, rooms with low-end medical equipment like exam or recovery rooms, but no surgeries or anything like that.
CirclMastr (10:30:19 PM): ....Wait
CirclMastr (10:30:25 PM): Glitch is supposed to be watching the hostages
MilesMk1 (10:30:48 PM): I am watching the one that isn't whimpering curled into a ball.
Umbrafer (10:31:04 PM): Or the one crumpled on the floor.
MilesMk1 (10:31:08 PM): And it'll take too damn long to bust up this place if it's all done with a sword.
CirclMastr (10:31:19 PM): The crumpled one is the most dangerous! Did you at least take his gun first?
MilesMk1 (10:31:29 PM): Uh... Sure.
CirclMastr (10:31:55 PM): Thank god. He might roll all 6's on his Body roll (and knowing J, he will) and wake up in 10 minutes
Umbrafer (10:32:40 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 6 3 6 1 3 1 4 2 1 6 5 2 4 2
Thematrian1 (10:33:17 PM): Ok. I have a map, I have the cameras. I can't find the bigwigs on a fast pass?
MilesMk1 (10:33:34 PM): Oh, and if I come across anything that I would like to break that doesn't get busted with the grenades, I put a few slugs from the guard's gun into it.
Umbrafer (10:33:43 PM): You've found Wig 3, who appears to be on her way down the elevator.
Umbrafer (10:33:58 PM): It looks like she's hearing odd noises.
CirclMastr (10:34:17 PM): (She's listening to transmissions from Deus! She's an otaku! Run! Er, jack out!)
Thematrian1 (10:34:54 PM): IIRC there was one more in the building...
Thematrian1 (10:35:12 PM): #The lady is headed down the elevator, go <directions> if you'd like to greet her.#
CirclMastr (10:35:41 PM): #Oooh, sounds fun# *Heads there*
Umbrafer (10:35:55 PM): (What's happening with the secretary)
Umbrafer (10:36:21 PM): *?
CirclMastr (10:36:40 PM): (The who now?)
MilesMk1 (10:36:51 PM): (The cowering secretary)
CirclMastr (10:37:00 PM): (Glitch abandoned her)
Umbrafer (10:37:09 PM): (Someone was watching the secretary, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to figure out who)
Umbrafer (10:37:16 PM): The front door opens.
Thematrian1 (10:37:27 PM): Who's there?
CirclMastr (10:37:42 PM): *Waits at elevator to greet Wig3 at swordpoint*
Umbrafer (10:37:49 PM): Scavengers appears to be letting in a trio of large and nasty-looking bees.
terminal handle has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (10:37:59 PM): Now that was well-timed.
CirclMastr (10:38:10 PM): He hates you
terminal handle has entered the chat room.

terminal handle (10:38:18 PM): thankee
Umbrafer (10:38:21 PM): The door opens. Reaction.
Umbrafer (10:38:31 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 3 5 4
CirclMastr (10:38:45 PM): ...From me?
Umbrafer (10:38:48 PM): Yep
CirclMastr (10:38:51 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
CirclMastr (10:38:54 PM): ...Fuck
Thematrian1 (10:38:58 PM): (I stand ready to shut the door, if thinigs go badly for some reason)
MilesMk1 (10:39:01 PM): Uh? 1?
Thematrian1 (10:39:03 PM): (Uh...reaction?)
Thematrian1 (10:39:07 PM): (Not init)
CirclMastr (10:39:16 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 5 3 4
CirclMastr (10:39:19 PM): Still fuck
Umbrafer (10:39:30 PM): You tie, so she isn't surprised.
CirclMastr (10:39:31 PM): Actually that's almost the exact same result. Numerically it is.
CirclMastr (10:39:46 PM): "Hello there."
Umbrafer (10:40:04 PM): She appears to be going for something tucked into her clothing,.
CirclMastr (10:40:19 PM): "That's a really bad idea, miss."
Umbrafer (10:40:51 PM): She takes a look at you, takes a look at the sword, and raises her hands. A small hold-out pistol drops to the elevator floor.
CirclMastr (10:41:05 PM): "That's a much better idea. Now step out slowly."
Umbrafer (10:41:25 PM): She does so.
MilesMk1 (10:41:42 PM): By the way - is the exec I was dragging around on my rampage looking sufficiently intimidated?
CirclMastr (10:41:44 PM): #What am I doing with the wig again?#
Thematrian1 (10:41:58 PM): Ok, I'll start scanning for an unoccupied postop room, or something similar.
Umbrafer (10:42:04 PM): Yes. Yes he is.
CirclMastr (10:42:07 PM): "To the lobby. Slowly."
Umbrafer (10:42:15 PM): There are a few
MilesMk1 (10:42:22 PM): #Let's toss them into one of the rooms, none to gently...#
CirclMastr (10:42:49 PM): #Well you'll have to come back and carry the down guard. And maybe the receptionist.#
MilesMk1 (10:43:25 PM): #Sure. Why don't you bring the one you got over to (number of wrecked office), we can toss them all in there.#
CirclMastr (10:44:06 PM): #Alright, I'll try getting the receptionist to come along, if not it's on you.#
CirclMastr (10:44:18 PM): (Is the wig moving, or not?)
Umbrafer (10:45:10 PM): The wig moves.
Umbrafer (10:45:14 PM): Slowly.
MilesMk1 (10:45:35 PM): *gets impatient and hauls Wig 5 over to Macleod and Wig 3*
Umbrafer (10:45:43 PM): Gem, roll omputers unopposed and unaided by pool.
CirclMastr (10:45:46 PM): *Gently escorts her from behind to the lobby, letting her look on what ruination exists between the elevator and lobby*
Umbrafer (10:45:49 PM): *C
Thematrian1 (10:46:38 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 4 4 3 6
Thematrian1 (10:46:42 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (10:47:09 PM): You notice an attempt to initiate an outgoing call.
MilesMk1 (10:47:43 PM): *Tosses Wig 5 into the indicated room and heads back to the lobby for the guard and receptionist*
Thematrian1 (10:47:56 PM): I would like to intercept
Umbrafer (10:48:01 PM): You do so. Receptionist is still cowering, guard is still out.
Umbrafer (10:48:15 PM): Intercept as in redirect the call to you, or just as in stop it altogether?
CirclMastr (10:48:21 PM): *Takes Wig3 to the assigned office*
Thematrian1 (10:48:23 PM): Crap. What was the number?
Thematrian1 (10:48:32 PM): That second one. Do I know who was being called?
Umbrafer (10:49:03 PM): No. You could determine it, but it would probably take long enough that the call would connect.
Thematrian1 (10:49:47 PM): Fair enough. I just kill it, then.
Umbrafer (10:50:01 PM): Roll it.
Thematrian1 (10:50:03 PM): #Somebody tried to make a phone call.#
Thematrian1 (10:50:11 PM): hacking pool?
Umbrafer (10:50:20 PM): Yeah, this is an ordinary Operation.
CirclMastr (10:50:28 PM): "I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to make any calls, miss..."
Thematrian1 (10:50:48 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 1 6 5 6 4 2
Thematrian1 (10:50:52 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 2
Umbrafer (10:51:42 PM): Since you're not trying to make or tap the commcall, I'll say this falls under Control Slave.
Umbrafer (10:51:52 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 1 6 2 4
Umbrafer (10:51:56 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (10:52:01 PM): It's dead.
MilesMk1 (10:52:02 PM): *grabs the guard by one of his ankles and points his gun at the receptionist* "Let's go."
Umbrafer (10:52:20 PM): Wig 3 looks confused, as if this is a strange request.
MilesMk1 (10:52:36 PM): #Can you find out where the call is coming from?#
Thematrian1 (10:52:52 PM): Now that I'v egot a moment, can I figure out where it was coming from/going?
MilesMk1 (10:52:58 PM): #Or better yet, just cut all the phone lines, to be on the safe side?#
CirclMastr (10:53:02 PM): "Just keep moving and behave yourself, and you'll make it out of this alive."
Umbrafer (10:53:12 PM): You can find out where it was coming from, certainly. Going might be trickier.
Umbrafer (10:53:19 PM): She does so.
MilesMk1 (10:53:52 PM): (Don't tell her she'll make it out alive. We're supposed to be making them cry. :P)
Umbrafer (10:54:16 PM): *Buzzbuzzbuzz*
CirclMastr (10:54:31 PM): (MacLeod's too old and set in his ways to turn to evil)
CirclMastr (10:54:56 PM): *Gets her in the room with Wig5 and the receptionist and unconscious guard*
Umbrafer (10:55:08 PM): You do so.
MilesMk1 (10:55:11 PM): *ushers receptionist into the same room as the wigs. Then - none too gently - drags in the security guard, searches his for any other weapons, and leaves to do some more damage.*
MilesMk1 (10:55:20 PM): (searches him)
MilesMk1 (10:55:38 PM): #Ok, Scavangers... Where is this drone of yours?#
Thematrian1 (10:55:48 PM): (So: roll Computers to find coming/going?)
terminal handle (10:55:49 PM): #drones, and incoming#
Umbrafer (10:55:59 PM): The guard has a collpsable baton tucked away.
terminal handle (10:56:27 PM): I float the three into the lobby.
Umbrafer (10:56:36 PM): *Float float float*
terminal handle (10:56:53 PM): #i'm prepping another. where do you want these stationed?#
MilesMk1 (10:56:54 PM): *takes the baton, makes an experimental swish meant to make the Wigs cringe, puts it away*
Thematrian1 (10:57:03 PM): #what about the one you lost?#
CirclMastr (10:57:07 PM): *Kneels down by the receptionist, keeping sword pointed at wigs, and whispers to her* "Just sit still and you'll be alright, okay?"
CirclMastr (10:57:08 PM): *Also looks at Wig3 for jewelry showing (bracelet, earrings, etc) that looks decently expensive*
CirclMastr (10:57:13 PM): (Lag sucks)
terminal handle (10:57:14 PM): #You'll get to that. Don't worry.#
MilesMk1 (10:57:15 PM): #I meant the one you lost.#
Umbrafer (10:57:27 PM): Nothing visible.
terminal handle (10:57:36 PM): #It's in the vent in the lobby ceiling#
MilesMk1 (10:58:14 PM): #Unless I misunderstood our instructions, I think we've done our job, no? Place busted up, a few minions hurt, execs intimidated...#
MilesMk1 (10:58:33 PM): *Heads out to rip out the vent and get the drone back*
Umbrafer (10:58:40 PM): Another outgoing call attempt.
Thematrian1 (10:58:44 PM): #We need to deliver a vaguely-worded threat, I think#
terminal handle (10:58:52 PM): (I wish i had enough bees to make a mid-air frowny face)
CirclMastr (10:58:56 PM): (Did anyone ever pat down wig5?)
Thematrian1 (10:59:01 PM): Argh. I kill it. What did you want me to do to find out about the last one?
CirclMastr (10:59:11 PM): *Goes to wig3 with a stern look and pats her down for stuff*
MilesMk1 (10:59:31 PM): (Do I manage to recover the damaged drone?)
Umbrafer (10:59:42 PM): Roll Control Slave would probably be appropriate. Since you already said you were doing it, I'll let you insert it before the second call.
terminal handle (10:59:47 PM): Hell. those little bees just float around being generally menacing to the employees.
Umbrafer (10:59:52 PM): How tall is your character?
terminal handle (10:59:56 PM): scary blades and such. :(
Thematrian1 (11:00:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 4 1 1 4 5 2 5
Thematrian1 (11:00:06 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 2 1 3 6
Umbrafer (11:00:14 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 6 1 6 2 6
Thematrian1 (11:00:17 PM): (That's finding out, and stopping the new one)
Umbrafer (11:00:19 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 2
Thematrian1 (11:00:23 PM): (aw crap)
Umbrafer (11:00:24 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (11:00:29 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
CirclMastr (11:00:36 PM): (Anyway, anything on 3 or 5 of note?)
Umbrafer (11:00:38 PM): You find that it came from Wig1's office.
MilesMk1 (11:00:43 PM): Not very, but I have claws and no compunction about tearing up the walls to get up to the ceiling.
Umbrafer (11:00:45 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 5 1 2 2
Umbrafer (11:00:52 PM): And the new one is stopped.
MilesMk1 (11:02:25 PM): (And he's 151cm tall if the exact height matters)
CirclMastr (11:02:41 PM): (Now that the combat is over, MacLeod is once again relegated to the back of the pack, importance-wise)
Thematrian1 (11:02:46 PM): #Wig1 is making phone calls. Directions are <thus>. I might have to leave soon; how about busting him up?#
Umbrafer (11:02:47 PM): (Nothing on the wigs of weapon-variety note. Well, Wig 5 did have one end of his credstick slightly pointed and the entire thing appears to have been hardened, but it's not that meaningful)
Thematrian1 (11:02:52 PM): (Funny you should mention)
CirclMastr (11:03:03 PM): (No PocSecs or anything?)
MilesMk1 (11:03:13 PM): #Which floor is he on?#
terminal handle (11:03:42 PM): (could the tool lasers cut through wig1's window?)
Umbrafer (11:03:44 PM): (Glitch has to pull over a couch, but he gets to the ceiling, rips off the grate, and recovers the drone. INT to get all parts)
Umbrafer (11:03:48 PM): Very possibly.
Umbrafer (11:04:05 PM): Keep in mind the potential for him to be armed.
MilesMk1 (11:04:16 PM): (INT specifically, or an INT-based test with encephalon applying?)
terminal handle (11:04:34 PM): if nothing else, they'll distract him long enough for comrade to get there and bust him up.
Umbrafer (11:04:37 PM): (INT specifically. More of Perception, really)
terminal handle (11:04:39 PM): no more calls.
CirclMastr (11:04:40 PM): (My skepticism runs high that the wigs don't have PocSecs or similar devices)
MilesMk1 (11:04:44 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 3 2 1 4
Umbrafer (11:04:58 PM): (They do, actually. They each have one)
CirclMastr (11:05:04 PM): *Yoinks*
terminal handle (11:05:17 PM): out they fly, and up to his window, please.
MilesMk1 (11:05:23 PM): *recovers as much of the drone as he can*
Umbrafer (11:05:27 PM): You yoink. Wig 5 seems alarmed, Wig 3 is more sanguine about the whole thing.
MilesMk1 (11:05:38 PM): *Heads over to Wig #1's office*
CirclMastr (11:05:46 PM): *Also checks receptionist, but more politely*
Umbrafer (11:05:48 PM): Via the elevator?
Umbrafer (11:05:58 PM): Receptionist's got a cellphone.
MilesMk1 (11:06:03 PM): Via stairs, if possible, via elevator if no other choice.
CirclMastr (11:06:09 PM): *Leaves it*
Umbrafer (11:06:14 PM): The stairs are available. The drones fly.
terminal handle (11:06:24 PM): *les buzz*
Umbrafer (11:06:46 PM): *Buzz buzz buzz* You get to the outside of the window.
CirclMastr (11:07:04 PM): (Carve "Redrum" into the window!)
terminal handle (11:07:15 PM): (that comes next :))
terminal handle (11:07:40 PM): right now, though, i'd like their powers to combine and cut out a nice-sized chunk of his window.
Umbrafer (11:08:03 PM): You start cutting. Another call goes out.
Umbrafer (11:08:15 PM): Glitch runs how fast?
CirclMastr (11:08:16 PM): *Whispers something comforting to the receptionist, but does so with eyes locked on wig5 and with an evil expression, to make him think I'm saying evil things*
Thematrian1 (11:08:23 PM): Same target as the other calls?
Thematrian1 (11:08:35 PM): If so, did I ever find out what that target was?
MilesMk1 (11:08:57 PM): 12 meters / round standard, but he can go a lot faster if he roll Athletics (which is at 7)
terminal handle (11:09:07 PM): while they're cutting, i'll start flying in the flying rifle drone what with its stun rounds.
Umbrafer (11:09:21 PM): The first two were a number you can't identify. This one appears to have been the local Knight Errant offices.
terminal handle (11:09:22 PM): give it directions to the hostages and basically have it make htem feel not at home.
Umbrafer (11:10:01 PM): How are the drones arranged right now?
Thematrian1 (11:10:02 PM): All right. I'd like to intercept this one.
Umbrafer (11:10:08 PM): Roll it.
MilesMk1 (11:10:19 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 2 5 3 5 4 2
MilesMk1 (11:10:44 PM): (Specifically, he'd be running at 18/round in this case)
terminal handle (11:10:48 PM): you mean, like aerial formation?
CirclMastr (11:10:54 PM): ("Knight Errant, please submit your SIN and bank PIN code for our records. ...Thank you, your credits for this call are being withdrawn. Thank you for calling Knight Errant." *Click* )
Thematrian1 (11:10:55 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 5 5 1 6 4 3 6
Umbrafer (11:11:02 PM): Are they towards the center of the hole they're cutting out, towards the edge?
Thematrian1 (11:11:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 3
Umbrafer (11:11:03 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 2 1 1 3 2 2 1 4 4 2 5 2 2 1
Thematrian1 (11:11:07 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
terminal handle (11:11:08 PM): i was thinking a nice, round circle.
Umbrafer (11:11:12 PM): Woah. Ok, I'll take that roll.
Thematrian1 (11:11:23 PM): 16 9 5 5 4 3 1
Thematrian1 (11:11:32 PM): :-D
Umbrafer (11:11:36 PM): It was supposed to be 6 dice, but no 6s on 15 seems like a sign.
terminal handle (11:11:38 PM): so yeah, they'd be tracing the outer edge of the hole.
Umbrafer (11:12:00 PM): Mmk. You've intercepted the call. This is happening as the drones are cutting.
Thematrian1 (11:12:17 PM): (f Gem knows enough about Knight Errant procedures to spoof them, she does so. Otherwise...
Umbrafer (11:12:53 PM): (Does she have any kind of knowledge skill for it?)
Umbrafer (11:14:12 PM): (If not, then follow up that "Otherwise")
Thematrian1 (11:14:13 PM): (Darn. No. Ok, I'll play it by ear.)
Thematrian1 (11:14:33 PM): "Knight Errant, how may we defend you?"
terminal handle (11:14:43 PM): i make the drones flash their blades menacingly while they cut.
terminal handle (11:14:46 PM): 'cause i can.
Thematrian1 (11:14:52 PM): (Etiquette, Negotiation...but all my broken social TN mods are lost here)
Umbrafer (11:14:59 PM): There's a long pause. "Who is this?"
Thematrian1 (11:15:03 PM): ( don't think I can claim Good Reputation, under the circumstances...)
CirclMastr (11:15:09 PM): (Wrong answer, I guess)
Umbrafer (11:15:14 PM): (Not really, no :) )
Thematrian1 (11:15:18 PM): (Yeah, well)
Thematrian1 (11:15:37 PM): "Sir, are you in the middle of some emergency?"
MilesMk1 (11:15:57 PM): (Anyone suddenly remined of Han Solo in the Death Star detention block? :p)
terminal handle (11:16:09 PM): (ask them if their refridgerator is running)
MilesMk1 (11:16:10 PM): (Or reminded.)
Umbrafer (11:16:17 PM): ("Boring conversation anyway.")
Umbrafer (11:16:27 PM): He slams the receiver down hard.
CirclMastr (11:16:36 PM): (Oops?)
Thematrian1 (11:16:39 PM): (Crap. I had some great taunts. In fact...)
MilesMk1 (11:16:41 PM): (Do I get to his room?)
Thematrian1 (11:16:47 PM): I call him back.
Umbrafer (11:16:49 PM): You're about ten seconds away.
Umbrafer (11:16:53 PM): The drones are almost finished with their
Umbrafer (11:16:55 PM): Er
Umbrafer (11:16:58 PM): With their hole.
terminal handle (11:17:02 PM): YEAH
Umbrafer (11:17:03 PM): Roll perception.
MilesMk1 (11:17:13 PM): Me? Or Scavangers?
Umbrafer (11:17:28 PM): Both of you, actually, but Scavs first.
CirclMastr (11:17:30 PM): (Any action of note in the hostage room?)

Umbrafer (11:18:00 PM): (None)
Umbrafer (11:18:15 PM): Scavs hears what sounds like a round being chambered.
terminal handle (11:18:26 PM): Scavs issues a scramble order.
Umbrafer (11:18:35 PM): The circle being cut explodes outwards under a hail of auomatic gunfire, which Glitch hears.
terminal handle (11:18:52 PM): effing dammit.
terminal handle (11:18:57 PM): i'll take his bloody ear off.
CirclMastr (11:19:02 PM): *Still kneeling by the receptionist so she can't see, gives Wig3 a long look and slowly licks lips with an evil grin*
Umbrafer (11:19:17 PM): (But will you be listening to K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies when you do it?)
Umbrafer (11:19:30 PM): Wig3 looks vaguely alarmed.
terminal handle (11:19:33 PM): i'd better be.
CirclMastr (11:19:54 PM): How does one look vaguely alarmed, exactly?
Thematrian1 (11:20:00 PM): I store the numbers that wig1 was calling, just in case.
Umbrafer (11:20:02 PM): I'll demonstrate sometime.
MilesMk1 (11:20:06 PM): (No cutting of the Wigs!)
Umbrafer (11:20:09 PM): The drones outside the window have scrambled by the time the gunfire comes through.
terminal handle (11:20:24 PM): (none none?)
MilesMk1 (11:20:26 PM): #What just happened in there?#
CirclMastr (11:20:28 PM): (I'm not cutting, it was supposed to be an insinuation of coming rape, or some other sort of personal violation)
Thematrian1 (11:21:35 PM): #Automatic fire. Wish he'd pick up the phone.#
Umbrafer (11:21:47 PM): He does, in fact.
Umbrafer (11:21:52 PM): Sounds like it's speakerphone.
MilesMk1 (11:21:55 PM): (I know what you meant, I meant Scavs. ;))
Thematrian1 (11:22:02 PM): "The answer was yes."
terminal handle (11:22:16 PM): (>:( we'll see)
Umbrafer (11:22:17 PM): "What?"
terminal handle (11:22:25 PM): (stupid graphic smilies)
MilesMk1 (11:22:47 PM): *moves up and starts to disable the lock on Wig 1's door*
Thematrian1 (11:23:01 PM): "Now you know. You're tough, but nowhere near tough enough for this." (I'm trying to get him to talk to me, essentially)
Thematrian1 (11:23:29 PM): "This is an emergency situation, Mr. <Hisname>."
MilesMk1 (11:23:32 PM): (Standing to the side of the door as I do this, not in front of it - at least as much as possible)
Umbrafer (11:23:37 PM): Roll Electronics.
MilesMk1 (11:23:51 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 3 4 4 5 4
MilesMk1 (11:23:56 PM): Hrmph.
terminal handle (11:24:09 PM): I don't suppose they could just crash on through the hole they've almost made?
Thematrian1 (11:24:21 PM): (or through the hole made by the automatic gunfire?)
Umbrafer (11:24:28 PM): They could. The chances that he's waiting for someone or something to do so are high, though.
terminal handle (11:24:29 PM): (right.)
MilesMk1 (11:24:34 PM): (But I do have a Talent and Microscopic vision, as I never tire of pointing out. :))
Umbrafer (11:24:40 PM): The gunfire went through the same hole.
Umbrafer (11:24:45 PM): Oh, so you do
Umbrafer (11:26:05 PM): You do manage to disable the lock.
terminal handle (11:26:07 PM): is there anything large and heavy they could use as cover once inside?
MilesMk1 (11:26:28 PM): #Scavengers, can you tell if he's watching the door?#
MilesMk1 (11:26:43 PM): *tries to listen for sounds from the inside*
terminal handle (11:26:47 PM): #one moment.# i buzz a bee to the window for a second.

terminal handle (11:27:22 PM): bah
Umbrafer (11:28:03 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 2 4 1 1
Umbrafer (11:28:14 PM): He lobs a burst out, but it doesn't do anything.
terminal handle (11:28:34 PM): does this drone have a speaker, Jon?
terminal handle (11:29:05 PM): of course it does.
Umbrafer (11:29:12 PM): Yep
terminal handle (11:29:14 PM): I laugh at him through it, then move the bee away.
Umbrafer (11:29:43 PM): It'll take Glitch another forty seconds to disengage the maglock. Does anyone do anything in that time?
CirclMastr (11:29:58 PM): Just babysit.
MilesMk1 (11:30:16 PM): (That's one fine magclock...)
terminal handle (11:30:20 PM): i wouldn't mind wasting some more of his on quick flybys.
terminal handle (11:30:29 PM): errr...his ammo
Thematrian1 (11:30:39 PM): Sit and wait for calls, alarms, &c.
terminal handle (11:30:48 PM): after last time maybe i shouldn't though.
MilesMk1 (11:31:13 PM): #Do we even *need* to get this asshole out of his office?#
CirclMastr (11:31:32 PM): #It's fun. And I wouldn't mind having his PocSec.#
Thematrian1 (11:31:46 PM): #It wouldn't do to let him think he won.#
Thematrian1 (11:31:58 PM): #Hm, good question. What's our position on stealing things from these guys?#
MilesMk1 (11:32:04 PM): #Might be hard without at least hitting him with a stun grenade or some gel rounds... Is that within out mission parameters?#
CirclMastr (11:32:07 PM): #I got PocSecs off 3 and 5."
CirclMastr (11:32:13 PM): * #
Umbrafer (11:32:19 PM): Incidentally, Scavs, roll Perception for your flyby.
terminal handle (11:32:28 PM): :( I did.
Umbrafer (11:32:34 PM): Oh
Umbrafer (11:32:50 PM): Yeah, you did. You catch that the guy's got an assault rifle, but not the model.
terminal handle (11:33:13 PM): #I can only assume he's facing the window at the moment.#
MilesMk1 (11:33:29 PM): *keeps working on the lock*
terminal handle (11:33:53 PM): another quick flyby or two to keep him looking that way. no reason to stop in front of the window.

Umbrafer (11:34:55 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3

terminal handle (11:36:26 PM): terminal handle rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 1 4
Umbrafer (11:36:37 PM): You dodge out of the way. His fire seems pretty accurate, though.
terminal handle (11:37:10 PM): as long as he's distracted to my comrade's ninja ways.
Umbrafer (11:37:37 PM): More to the point, you feel like there's a meaningful chance of losing a drone.
terminal handle (11:37:53 PM): which is why i'm not doing that anymore, crazy kid.
Umbrafer (11:38:07 PM): Fair enough. Glitch cracks the door.
CirclMastr (11:38:11 PM): *Isn't evil enough to think of any other ways to unsettle the wigs*
MilesMk1 (11:39:13 PM): #So, do we have consensus on whether it's ok for me to hit this guy with non-lethal weaponry?#
CirclMastr (11:39:31 PM): #What happened to the the stun grenades? Why don't you toss one in?#
Thematrian1 (11:39:56 PM): #Completely ok for all of me.#
terminal handle (11:39:58 PM): #hit it. i'm checked out here.#
MilesMk1 (11:40:10 PM): #That's what I'm asking. So I guess it's three in favor...#
terminal handle (11:40:18 PM): #the bees will be in to assist in a moment.#

Umbrafer (11:41:39 PM): Gem, roll Perception.
Umbrafer (11:41:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 1 2 3 2
Umbrafer (11:41:54 PM): You tie unless you karma it.
Thematrian1 (11:42:36 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 4 4 5 1
Thematrian1 (11:42:44 PM): That's my Perception
MilesMk1 (11:42:49 PM): I'll risk the initiative roll.
Umbrafer (11:43:00 PM): You notice that the elevator's moving downwards.
MilesMk1 (11:43:01 PM): Even if he wins, I'm behind a barrier.

Umbrafer (11:43:14 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 5

Umbrafer (11:43:28 PM): One moment while I figure out the barrier rating of the wall.
Thematrian1 (11:43:40 PM): I peek in the elevator cam
MilesMk1 (11:43:43 PM): Umm...
CirclMastr (11:43:51 PM): 8's always a good number
Umbrafer (11:43:54 PM): No one in it right now.
Thematrian1 (11:44:50 PM): I check the floors where it would open up
Umbrafer (11:45:24 PM): What's your armor?
Umbrafer (11:45:45 PM): There's nothing on 2F, 1F, or B1.
Thematrian1 (11:46:11 PM): Okaaaay. I follow the elevator down to B2?
Umbrafer (11:46:28 PM): You do so. Armor on Glitch?
MilesMk1 (11:46:32 PM): 7
Umbrafer (11:46:42 PM): 2S incoming.
MilesMk1 (11:46:59 PM): Can I use combat pool?

MilesMk1 (11:47:11 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 3 5 6 6 1 1 6 1 2
MilesMk1 (11:47:23 PM): That does it, I think.
Umbrafer (11:47:25 PM): The elevator goes down to B2. Perception.
Umbrafer (11:47:35 PM): Yeah, that more than soaks it.

Thematrian1 (11:47:57 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3

Umbrafer (11:48:17 PM): You see Wig 4 aiming a pistol at the camera. The feed goes blank.
Thematrian1 (11:48:35 PM): #Guys, Wig4 is in the basement and he just killed my camera#
MilesMk1 (11:48:37 PM): (Lock the elevator in place!)
Thematrian1 (11:48:40 PM): Can I grab the elevator?
Umbrafer (11:48:46 PM): You can try
Thematrian1 (11:48:49 PM): (Haha, great minds)
MilesMk1 (11:48:52 PM): #Can you lock the elevators down?#
Thematrian1 (11:48:54 PM): I do so
Thematrian1 (11:49:00 PM): Spoof?
MilesMk1 (11:49:01 PM): (Can I throw my grenade?)
Umbrafer (11:49:10 PM): Had you determined the location of the elevator controls?
Umbrafer (11:49:12 PM): Yes, you can.
MilesMk1 (11:49:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 3 6 4 1 1 5 1
MilesMk1 (11:49:31 PM): I do so, then move *away* from the damn door.
MilesMk1 (11:49:39 PM): And draw my pistol.
Thematrian1 (11:49:41 PM): Crap. No. Okay, I find the elevator controls:
Umbrafer (11:49:43 PM): Well, rather, let's go to formal init since the held action has been resolved.

Umbrafer (11:49:56 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 6

Thematrian1 (11:50:18 PM): (Hey, does the Kraftwerk grant reaction/init bonuses? I don't have my books here...)
Umbrafer (11:50:22 PM): 13 as well, but yours is natural.
CirclMastr (11:50:39 PM): (One for every 4 MPCP IIRC)
CirclMastr (11:51:00 PM): (That is +2+1D6)
CirclMastr (11:51:14 PM): (With a slash in there since I can't type)_
MilesMk1 (11:51:26 PM): So, do I roll again for the grenade, or does my roll above stand?
Umbrafer (11:51:29 PM): (Kraftwerk is RI 2)
Umbrafer (11:51:43 PM): Yeah, that roll stands. Keep in mind that pool has not refreshed.
Thematrian1 (11:51:59 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 3
MilesMk1 (11:52:03 PM): (Haven't used any more pool. Skillsoft.)

MilesMk1 (11:52:12 PM): And I am moving away from the dorr.
MilesMk1 (11:52:14 PM): door.
Umbrafer (11:52:16 PM): (The dodge, I mean)
Umbrafer (11:52:19 PM): (Er, soak)
Umbrafer (11:52:37 PM): You've thrown it in.
terminal handle (11:52:41 PM): terminal handle rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (11:52:54 PM): (Well, since I won't be in an obvious spot, and have Ruthenium, I hope that won't be an issue this turn. Or any other. :p)
Umbrafer (11:53:00 PM): I'm not sure scatter makes much sense at this range…
Umbrafer (11:53:17 PM): But either way the first person to act is Gem over there.
Umbrafer (11:53:39 PM): Were this SR2, the second person would also be Gem.
Umbrafer (11:53:42 PM): Searching?
terminal handle (11:53:49 PM): 11
Thematrian1 (11:54:01 PM): Searching

Umbrafer (11:55:39 PM): You've got a slightly nasty feeling, but you're not sure what it is.
Umbrafer (11:56:02 PM): Blake's grenade roll goes into effect now. What's the Power on that sucker?
MilesMk1 (11:56:42 PM): (Glitch's grenade is 15S)
MilesMk1 (11:56:53 PM): (stun, of course)
Umbrafer (11:57:08 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3

Thematrian1 (11:58:54 PM): Lock the elevator.

Thematrian1 (11:59:02 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 2 5 5 5
Umbrafer (11:59:19 PM): !
Umbrafer (11:59:22 PM): I skipped poor Scavs.

Umbrafer (11:59:40 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 2 3 1 1
Umbrafer (11:59:53 PM): You lock the elevator.
Umbrafer (12:00:05 AM): About two seconds later, the elevator node goes offline entirely.
Umbrafer (12:00:26 AM): Actions?
Thematrian1 (12:00:59 AM): (two seconds later, that's practically the end of the round. No worries :-D)
terminal handle (12:01:01 AM): i use the laser to carve REDRUM into his window.
MilesMk1 (12:01:06 AM): *Drags Wig 1 down to the room with other victims as an object lesson after making sure his life isn't in danger*
Umbrafer (12:01:26 AM): As you drag him into the hall, you hear the elevator ding.
MilesMk1 (12:01:33 AM): (Holding his head *off* the ground and letting his legs drag as I do this)
MilesMk1 (12:01:40 AM): *drop wig, take cover*
Umbrafer (12:01:50 AM): The door slides open.
Thematrian1 (12:02:13 AM): (wait, what?)
MilesMk1 (12:02:14 AM): #Elevator just opened on my floor - what's up?#
Thematrian1 (12:02:41 AM): (I have at least two seconds to tell them about it, no?)
Umbrafer (12:02:50 AM): (You do. Backup up to there.)
Umbrafer (12:02:56 AM): *Backing, rather
Thematrian1 (12:03:14 AM): #I locked the elevator. Bigwig had the override. I'll let you know where he comes out.#
Umbrafer (12:03:27 AM): Are you still dragging?
terminal handle (12:03:42 AM): Moving the other two bees into the office with the first. could they get to the elevator doors before they've opened completely?
CirclMastr (12:03:58 AM): (brb, not that MacLeod matters anymore this run)
Umbrafer (12:04:15 AM): It takes about fifteen seconds for the elevator to get there. Potentially they could. Keep in mind that Wig 4 is confirmed armed.
Thematrian1 (12:04:22 AM): (unless he tries to leave by the ground floor, yeah)
Thematrian1 (12:04:38 AM): #He shot out the elevator cam, too. Be ready.#
terminal handle (12:04:55 AM): they'll wait at the door to the hallway.
MilesMk1 (12:05:01 AM): #Gets his grenade launcher ready#
MilesMk1 (12:05:17 AM): *sets himself up with a safe shot at the elevator*
Umbrafer (12:05:23 AM): How many are visible, other than the one you came in with?
Umbrafer (12:05:30 AM): Rather, the one you're jumped into?
terminal handle (12:05:41 AM): all three would now be at the door.
MilesMk1 (12:05:51 AM): #After we take this one down, it's time to deliver our message and get the hell out of here.#
Umbrafer (12:06:10 AM): The elevator dings.
Umbrafer (12:06:17 AM): The door slides open.
Thematrian1 (12:06:22 AM): #Agreed. In fact, unless you need me I'm going to bail out now.#
MilesMk1 (12:06:36 AM): *waits to shoot until he sees the Wig*
Umbrafer (12:06:46 AM): The elevator appears to be empty.
Umbrafer (12:06:53 AM): Graceful logoff?
MilesMk1 (12:06:59 AM): #Shit. The damn thing looks empty.#
Thematrian1 (12:07:06 AM): crap, not yet
Thematrian1 (12:07:17 AM): Flash through the cameras on the ground floor
MilesMk1 (12:07:20 AM): #Just to make sure#
MilesMk1 (12:07:28 AM): *fires a grenade into it*

Umbrafer (12:08:37 AM): *Whump* The elevator starts beeping loudly.
MilesMk1 (12:09:01 AM): Does my enhanced hearing pick up the sound of any bodies hitting the ground?
Umbrafer (12:09:07 AM): Roll it.
MilesMk1 (12:09:12 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 6 4 2 6 5
MilesMk1 (12:09:17 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 5

MilesMk1 (12:09:30 AM): I have experience with electronics...
Umbrafer (12:09:32 AM): You hear no bodies hitting the ground.
terminal handle (12:09:39 AM): (optical comoflague!)
Umbrafer (12:09:59 AM): When I say "load" I mean weight, so normal electronics probably won't cover it.
terminal handle (12:10:10 AM): floating the trio back out their hole.
MilesMk1 (12:10:14 AM): *shrugs, and resumes the dragging of Wig 1 downstairs*
MilesMk1 (12:10:22 AM): *Keeping an eye on the elevator*
Umbrafer (12:10:30 AM): The door does not close.
Thematrian1 (12:10:35 AM): Once I'm done with the cameras, if I didn't spot him I'm logging off gracefully
terminal handle (12:10:37 AM): above the building, scanning around for anybody driving or running from the building.
Umbrafer (12:10:50 AM): You did not spot him. You see no one departing.
Umbrafer (12:11:43 AM): Roll graceful logoff.
Thematrian1 (12:11:46 AM): neither of us?
Umbrafer (12:11:57 AM): Roll perception again, just to be sure.
MilesMk1 (12:12:02 AM): #This place is weird... I'll be glad to get the hell out of here.#

Thematrian1 (12:13:47 AM): graceless logoff, and eat the dumpshock
Thematrian1 (12:14:37 AM): Willpower:

Thematrian1 (12:14:46 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (12:14:50 AM): 9S Stun, if I remember my damage codes correctly.
Thematrian1 (12:15:09 AM): Then I take it all. Some bad.
Umbrafer (12:15:58 AM): Yep, that was it.
Thematrian1 (12:16:03 AM): #Mrmph...#
MilesMk1 (12:16:23 AM): How's Glitch doing?
Umbrafer (12:16:33 AM): Glitch proceeds slowly, dragging the Wig behind him. He's gotten to the doorway.
CirclMastr (12:16:36 AM): #What's wrong?#
Umbrafer (12:16:39 AM): Scavs, roll Sensors.
Thematrian1 (12:17:25 AM): #Time to pull out, team. Our message is received. Wig1 is missing, so let's just go.#
terminal handle (12:17:26 AM): terminal handle rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
terminal handle (12:17:30 AM): ha
Umbrafer (12:17:39 AM): You've got a target right in the middle of the hallway.
Umbrafer (12:17:48 AM): Right where the junction to the elevator is.
Umbrafer (12:18:10 AM): There's nothing visible there, but it's clear on radar.
Umbrafer (12:18:33 AM): Not clear enough for identification, though.
MilesMk1 (12:18:37 AM): #You mean Wig 4? I have Wig 1 right here.#
terminal handle (12:18:46 AM): #fellows, we may have a magician on our hands upstairs#
Thematrian1 (12:19:25 AM): #That would make sense. Someone had to set the wards after all. Let's leave him alone.#
MilesMk1 (12:19:51 AM): #Where's the magician?#
terminal handle (12:20:39 AM): #in the hallway coming from the empty elevator. do you want help or should i pull these out?#
MilesMk1 (12:21:03 AM): (Is Glitch on the stairs now, or still out in the hallway?)
Umbrafer (12:21:10 AM): (Note: while you've gotten the stair door open, you're still in LOS of this location)
Thematrian1 (12:21:20 AM): I look out the windows. Anything exciting happening?
MilesMk1 (12:21:28 AM): Ok...
Umbrafer (12:22:00 AM): It does not appear so.
MilesMk1 (12:22:02 AM): Looking calm and unhurried, Glitch will unhand Wig 1, fire a round at the intersection, and proceed to exit the building.
Umbrafer (12:22:09 AM): Roll it.
MilesMk1 (12:22:14 AM): (Fire a grenade, I mean)
MilesMk1 (12:22:18 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 2 2 1 2 5

MilesMk1 (12:22:27 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (12:22:29 AM): It's grenadelinked, right?
MilesMk1 (12:22:33 AM): Yup.
Thematrian1 (12:22:49 AM): ::slump::
Umbrafer (12:22:53 AM): The grenade explodes in the air in the middle of the intersection. It's impossible to tell what effect, if any, it has.
MilesMk1 (12:23:18 AM): *Jogs down the stairs if the huge invisible monster lets him*
Umbrafer (12:23:39 AM): The huge invisible monster does not appear to molest you.
terminal handle (12:23:48 AM): *out the window with the little ones*
terminal handle (12:23:55 AM): buzz buzz etc...
MilesMk1 (12:23:56 AM): *Stops by the room with the hostages on the way out*
MilesMk1 (12:24:05 AM): #Anyone have any good threats in mind?#
CirclMastr (12:24:36 AM): #What sort of threats?#
terminal handle (12:24:56 AM): #Sorry dear, I've only clichés.#
Umbrafer (12:25:50 AM): The hostages look expectantly at you, except for the unconscious and traumatized ones.
Thematrian1 (12:26:31 AM): #Tell them that this was their warning. Their gentle warning. I guess.#
MilesMk1 (12:26:42 AM): *addressing the hostages* "Whatever control you think you have is an illusion... You're still alive not because you matter, but because of someone's whim. Nod if you understand."
Umbrafer (12:27:10 AM): They nod.
Thematrian1 (12:27:11 AM): #I take it back, that was better.#
Umbrafer (12:27:26 AM): Roll perception.
MilesMk1 (12:27:41 AM): "Good. Consider this being let off with a warning."
CirclMastr (12:27:42 AM): (Who?)
MilesMk1 (12:27:46 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 6 3 5 2 4
MilesMk1 (12:27:51 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (12:27:53 AM): (Glitch and MacLeod)
Umbrafer (12:28:00 AM): Glitch has hearing amp, right?
MilesMk1 (12:28:04 AM): (Yeah.)
CirclMastr (12:28:08 AM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 5 6 6
CirclMastr (12:28:10 AM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
MilesMk1 (12:28:12 AM): (And spatial recognizer)
CirclMastr (12:28:17 AM): (11, booyah. And 7 and 5)
Umbrafer (12:28:27 AM): It came from the elevator. It's the "ding" sound of arrival.
MilesMk1 (12:28:43 AM): #Elevator again.#
CirclMastr (12:28:52 AM): #Got more grenades?#
MilesMk1 (12:28:54 AM): #Fuck. This is not the exit I wanted to make...#
MilesMk1 (12:29:00 AM): #Yeah.#
CirclMastr (12:29:04 AM): #Go to town.#
MilesMk1 (12:29:20 AM): *nails the elevator again*
Umbrafer (12:29:34 AM): Roll it.

Umbrafer (12:30:33 AM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (12:30:51 AM): It's impossible to tell what kind of reaction the grenade got. The elevator is out of sight around a corner, though well inside the blast.
MilesMk1 (12:31:40 AM): #Let's go.#
Umbrafer (12:32:04 AM): Front exit or rear exit? Elevator's between you and front.
MilesMk1 (12:32:27 AM): Rear exit. Quick, but not panicked.
MilesMk1 (12:32:45 AM): #Moving out the back - pick us up, will you?#
CirclMastr (12:32:53 AM): *Gets up* "You all behave yourselves, okay?"
terminal handle (12:33:02 AM): #On it.# I do so.
terminal handle (12:33:08 AM): And bring the bees in home, please.
Umbrafer (12:33:17 AM): You do.
Umbrafer (12:33:25 AM): You drive around. There's a fence and a gate.
terminal handle (12:34:12 AM): Does it look strong?
CirclMastr (12:34:19 AM): (No reaction from hostages?)
Umbrafer (12:34:40 AM): As far as these things go, yes. It won't stand up to however many tons of Medium Transport you can throw at it, though.
Umbrafer (12:34:51 AM): (They cower a bit. Otherwise not really)
terminal handle (12:34:58 AM): Let's get on with the throwing of medium transports, then.
Umbrafer (12:35:06 AM): Roll it.
CirclMastr (12:35:29 AM): *Leaves them there and goes to the rear exit with Glitch*
terminal handle (12:36:20 AM): terminal handle rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 6 1 4 4 4 2 5 5 1 2 1 3 5 6

terminal handle (12:36:28 AM): terminal handle rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 1 2 3 6
terminal handle (12:36:32 AM): terminal handle rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (12:36:41 AM): Actually, you could have rolled nearly that amount.
Umbrafer (12:36:54 AM): You will learn pool use later, young one. For now, you crunch through the gate with ease.
Umbrafer (12:37:02 AM): Or the fence, if you prefer.
terminal handle (12:37:14 AM): :( Not young. Rusty, wipper-snapper.
Thematrian1 (12:37:49 AM): (he'd only get 10 regardless, right? No more pool than skill)
CirclMastr (12:37:51 AM): You'll learn pool use just in time for SR4!
terminal handle (12:37:53 AM): #Mount up, gentlemen#
Umbrafer (12:37:55 AM): (True)
Umbrafer (12:38:07 AM): (SR4? What, did Lucifer report snowflakes? ;) )
terminal handle (12:38:09 AM): i pop the rear hatch.
Umbrafer (12:38:15 AM): You do so.
CirclMastr (12:38:22 AM): *Puts sword away before getting outside, and heads into the truck van whatever thing&
CirclMastr (12:38:23 AM): * *
Umbrafer (12:38:39 AM): Glitch wonders in passing where that sword goes, anyway.
Thematrian1 (12:38:57 AM): Gem waves to the away team as they pile into the van.
MilesMk1 (12:39:04 AM): *gets in*
Umbrafer (12:39:17 AM): Gem is very pale.
Umbrafer (12:39:38 AM): Her eyes are vaguely unfocused still.
MilesMk1 (12:39:50 AM): "Something weird was following us in the elevator... Hope it won't fuck with the conditions of the job. Are you ok?"
MilesMk1 (12:40:17 AM): "And what happened to our magical support? Were the Loa not in the mood, or something?"
terminal handle (12:40:43 AM): (Loa-induced coma?)
Umbrafer (12:40:45 AM): Ghede isn't actually present.
Thematrian1 (12:40:47 AM): "Maybe. Couldn't cover the astral...and the matrix. Sry..."
MilesMk1 (12:41:26 AM): "That's allright."
Umbrafer (12:41:27 AM): Are you going to wait for him?
MilesMk1 (12:41:38 AM): *checks on Gem*
Thematrian1 (12:41:49 AM): "M'oky..."
Umbrafer (12:41:55 AM): First Aid?
MilesMk1 (12:42:07 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 2 5 3 4 5 6 2
Umbrafer (12:42:08 AM): (For diagnosis, that is)
MilesMk1 (12:42:09 AM): Yep
MilesMk1 (12:42:15 AM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
terminal handle (12:42:17 AM): Are we all aboard?
Umbrafer (12:42:20 AM): Um… was that a default?
Umbrafer (12:42:29 AM): No. Ghede is, as mentioned, still missing.
MilesMk1 (12:42:33 AM): That was my chipped Biotech skill of 8
Umbrafer (12:42:40 AM): Oh, yes, forgot about that
terminal handle (12:42:53 AM): oh...i thoght you meant he was just passed out with no loa.
Umbrafer (12:43:00 AM): She's definitely suffering from a nasty case of dump shock. You've seen it before, or it's been chipped, it's hard to tell.
Umbrafer (12:43:12 AM): (Rather, the knowledge is on the chip as a memory)
CirclMastr (12:43:20 AM): *Pulls out the PocSecs and examines the contents*
Thematrian1 (12:43:29 AM): "I've had worse."
Umbrafer (12:43:41 AM): Perception, everyone.

CirclMastr (12:43:56 AM): (10, 7, 5)
Umbrafer (12:44:22 AM): There's a soft thump on the roof of the van.
Thematrian1 (12:44:28 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 1 6 4 4
Umbrafer (12:44:35 AM): You all hear it.
MilesMk1 (12:44:47 AM): "Scavengers, what was that?"
Thematrian1 (12:44:57 AM): I conjure a force 4 City Spirit, or try to
Umbrafer (12:45:02 AM): Roll it.
terminal handle (12:45:04 AM): "Likely, it was a problem."
MilesMk1 (12:45:09 AM): *reloads his pistol with EX rounds*
terminal handle (12:45:25 AM): "You want to step outside, or do we cut and run?"
Thematrian1 (12:45:29 AM): Conjuring:
Thematrian1 (12:45:33 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 3 3 6 6

Umbrafer (12:46:04 AM): You can.
CirclMastr (12:46:12 AM): (Why don't you use Sensors to find out what it IS?)
terminal handle (12:47:16 AM): (Jon, we don't yet have this stat either. plan?)
Umbrafer (12:47:25 AM): (Passive Sensors is your INT)
MilesMk1 (12:47:27 AM): "Unless you can tell me what is on the roof, no, I'd prefer to stay in."
Thematrian1 (12:47:33 AM): (Go to bed, resolve next week?)
terminal handle (12:47:37 AM): I close and lock the rear door.
Umbrafer (12:47:42 AM): (We'll be done momentarily)
terminal handle (12:47:45 AM): terminal handle rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 2 3 6 6
terminal handle (12:47:48 AM): terminal handle rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 2
terminal handle (12:47:51 AM): terminal handle rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
MilesMk1 (12:48:13 AM): (Have I been shooting Ghede with grenades?)
Umbrafer (12:48:15 AM): There, wind dramatically billowing his clothes, stands Ghede. He's taking a very long drink from his special flask.
Thematrian1 (12:48:45 AM): (Scavengers can have him, for all of me)
Umbrafer (12:48:56 AM): He lightly hops down from the top of the van, walking around to the back.
terminal handle (12:49:09 AM): i...declose and delock the rear.
CirclMastr (12:49:23 AM): (It's an illusion! Don't!)
Umbrafer (12:49:36 AM): He hops in, greets you all, offers his flask around, and promptly collapses.
Umbrafer (12:49:53 AM): And that's the session. See some of you Tuesday, the rest Thursday.
Thematrian1 (12:50:05 AM): (Wow. Way to blast the hell out of Death there, Glitch ;-))
Thematrian1 (12:50:10 AM): (Ok, probably not)
MilesMk1 (12:50:15 AM): Heh...
terminal handle (12:50:16 AM): zoom zoom
MilesMk1 (12:50:20 AM): Does he look blasted?
Umbrafer (12:50:50 AM): Hard to say, He's bleeding from a cut on his forehead, but most of the bloodflow seems to be from location rather than from actual seriousness of wounding.
Umbrafer (12:50:57 AM): *.
MilesMk1 (12:51:36 AM): And he's unconscious?
MilesMk1 (12:51:39 AM): Ok...
MilesMk1 (12:51:47 AM): Goodnight, everyone.
MilesMk1 (12:51:51 AM): *wave*
terminal handle (12:51:54 AM): I'm telling Rob about this and he doens't know what to make of it.
terminal handle (12:51:56 AM): it's a thing of beauty.
terminal handle (12:51:59 AM): Thanks kiddums!
Umbrafer (12:52:01 AM): He is now. Gem isn't sure if that's from damage or from the Lwa departing.
Thematrian1 (12:52:39 AM): ok, good night all. Jon, you've logged?
Umbrafer (12:52:49 AM): I have.

terminal handle (12:53:36 AM): kekekeke future world.
Umbrafer (12:53:54 AM): I do so enjoy this.
terminal handle (12:54:18 AM): this is what i get for fearing extended rules and relying on mundanes.
terminal handle (12:54:31 AM): all this fun i've been missing.
terminal handle (12:54:36 AM): cannot wait to create a swarm
Umbrafer (12:55:08 AM): Rigging just opens up so many possibilities, it's hard to go back
terminal handle (12:55:53 AM): i'll get the hang of these rules and then i'll never go back until i try out magic again.
terminal handle (12:55:56 AM): and then hoooooboy.
Umbrafer (12:57:20 AM): Eventually you'll get to where Seiler is and try your hand at Riggerdeckermagery.
Umbrafer (12:57:28 AM): Or better yet, Riggerdeckerfacemagery.
terminal handle (12:57:41 AM): ....whoa
terminal handle (12:57:57 AM): talk about a jack of all trades. is that...useful?
Umbrafer (12:58:38 AM): As long as you specialize to some degree. For instance, he specialized Gem to get information through any means necessary.
Umbrafer (12:58:55 AM): You're certainly not going to do all that, plus be a Combat God, plus be a bunch of other things
Umbrafer (12:59:08 AM): But Renaissance Characters are definitely possible within a few limitations.
terminal handle (12:59:32 AM): surgical drones have a wide variety of applications. :D
terminal handle (12:59:38 AM): win win!
Umbrafer (1:00:32 AM): Anway, it is time for the good sleeps.
