CirclMastr (8:32:25 PM): Ahoy.
MilesMk1 (8:32:52 PM): Arr.
CirclMastr (8:32:57 PM): Yo ho ho
MilesMk1 (8:33:05 PM): Me hearties!
Umbrafer (8:33:20 PM): Arr.
Umbrafer (8:33:27 PM): Hoist the mainsail!
CirclMastr (8:33:28 PM): Arrr, she's driving me nuts!
Umbrafer (8:33:36 PM): Man the lines!
Thematrian1 (8:33:46 PM): ::shakes the fist::
MilesMk1 (8:34:06 PM): Trun her three points to starboard!
MilesMk1 (8:34:18 PM): Arr... Turn.
MilesMk1 (8:34:23 PM): Um.
Umbrafer (8:34:48 PM): Keelhaul the landlubber!
MilesMk1 (8:34:58 PM): So, how's everyone? And will we start every game now with piratical dialogue?
Umbrafer (8:35:12 PM): Entirely possible.
Umbrafer (8:35:40 PM): I'm well enow. Trying to recruit another player to fill the void that our absent pair have left.
MilesMk1 (8:36:33 PM): Ah, yes.
MilesMk1 (8:37:20 PM): That'd be good.
MilesMk1 (8:38:01 PM): Of course, whoever plays will probably play a psychotic ghoul shifter, ot something like that. ;)
Umbrafer (8:38:21 PM): In the meantime, I leave you to figure out a better plan than "Confusion him in the bathroom" :)
MilesMk1 (8:38:33 PM): Is that a hint?
Thematrian1 (8:38:40 PM): It might could be
Thematrian1 (8:38:49 PM): But, I don't think there are any other plans for which we have the resources
Umbrafer (8:39:20 PM): It was more a reference to Seiler's "Aw, hell" when I reminded him that that was the most current plan Wednesday morning :)
MilesMk1 (8:39:27 PM): Do shock weapons leave marks?
Thematrian1 (8:39:49 PM): Well, it is a terrible plan.
Umbrafer (8:39:57 PM): Tasers will leave small holes. I don't know if shock gloves would leave any marks.
Thematrian1 (8:40:10 PM): I'm not sure. They definitely leave unconscious people, which for our purposes is almost as bad.
MilesMk1 (8:40:13 PM): I still think it might be possible to just juice him in the right spot a couple of places, and how'd he know he didn't have a mild heart attack?
Thematrian1 (8:40:34 PM): He's pretty young to jump to that conclusion
Umbrafer (8:42:05 PM): And if he legitimately has a medical history indicating it, the shock could trigger it.
CirclMastr (8:42:19 PM): All our plans suck. Just let me hit someone.
Thematrian1 (8:42:21 PM): That's true, but not a problem for our purposes.
Thematrian1 (8:42:50 PM): If he has a legitimate episode and dies, that would be lucky beyond imagining.
MilesMk1 (8:43:40 PM): I mean... Yeah, he's young, but if you pass out and wake up, and your chest is hurting, there are no marks on you... Will you think a guy covered in ruthenium just shocked you twice?
CirclMastr (8:43:47 PM): So we send psychic "Have a fatal heart attack" waves at him?
Thematrian1 (8:44:19 PM): No, you think 'Someone jumped me'. At least if you're a paranoid corp type, you do. Still...
MilesMk1 (8:44:57 PM): They seem pretty complacent, though we have been making a lot of coincidences happen lately...
Thematrian1 (8:45:23 PM): That's a good point. And it's not like it has to go completely uninvestigated...
MilesMk1 (8:46:01 PM): Of course, that also requires me to get in the room with him, and that requires me to hack the camera... I wish I was twins.
Thematrian1 (8:46:19 PM): Actually, I can do the shocking.
Umbrafer (8:46:21 PM): (For the record, I'm not sure I'd say the evidence points so much to "complacent" as "already used to stuff breaking like there's no tomorrow")
MilesMk1 (8:46:31 PM): (True.)
MilesMk1 (8:46:46 PM): That's true too.
CirclMastr (8:47:06 PM): Maybe if we leave a note on him "Haha, gotcha! -Crenshaw", he'll think it was a prank by Crenshaw.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (8:48:13 PM): (Maybe he finally died from the heat)
MilesMk1 (8:49:45 PM): He hadn't had any connection problems for a while...
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (8:50:35 PM): For the record, I think the "confuse him in the bathroom" plan is better as far as detection goes, but there are two issues...
MilesMk1 (8:50:57 PM): 1. How do we make sure he really goes to the can and 2. How do we keep you guys from being found while we wait.
Thematrian1 (8:51:17 PM): In re #1: He has a big gulp next to him. It's coming.
Thematrian1 (8:51:28 PM): In re #2: That sounds like a good job for our infiltration specialist :-D
Thematrian1 (8:51:31 PM): That is to say, I don't know
MilesMk1 (8:52:27 PM): Unless I manage to break into one of the two locked doors left - the one with a card swipe, and the other with the keypad - there's nothing besides the maintenace closet.
MilesMk1 (8:52:44 PM): I could try doing that before the guard gets back, but it's a bit of a risk.
MilesMk1 (8:53:39 PM): What time is it, BTW?
Umbrafer (8:54:15 PM): Hm. Probably approaching 6:45 AM
Umbrafer (8:54:17 PM): It's late.
MilesMk1 (8:55:04 PM): So chances are, we'll have a shift change in one hour fifteen to two hours fifteen minutes.
MilesMk1 (8:56:15 PM): Ok, what do you guys think - break into one of the other rooms to get you a hiding place, or we move on to one of the two other "plans"?
MilesMk1 (8:56:37 PM): (Oh, and "let me hit someone" doesn't count as a plan. :P )
CirclMastr (8:56:45 PM): (Damnit :P )
Thematrian1 (9:00:40 PM): Breaking in will almost certainly take too long and leave traces. I think we need to go with one of the easy plans
CirclMastr (9:01:04 PM): (Hitting someone is an easy plan)
MilesMk1 (9:01:52 PM): So... Plan 1: You guys hide in the maintenance closet until he comes out, then confuse him, and I go in and hack / put in bugs, yes? Plan 2: Shock his heart, do the bugging, leave.
MilesMk1 (9:01:57 PM): Mhm...
Thematrian1 (9:02:09 PM): yeah
MilesMk1 (9:02:14 PM): Another issue: We're assuming I'll be able to use his connection.
Thematrian1 (9:02:22 PM): Yeah.
CirclMastr (9:02:23 PM): Plan 1 seems slightly safer but less likely than plan 2.
Thematrian1 (9:02:27 PM): If you can't, we're doomed.
Thematrian1 (9:02:29 PM): So assume we can
MilesMk1 (9:02:37 PM): Is that necessarily true? Especially if he logs off, and so on.
MilesMk1 (9:03:01 PM): Because if I can barely hack the cameras without being caught, I'm sure as hell not hacking the mainframe.
MilesMk1 (9:03:35 PM): GM? What do our characters know about this sort of thing?
Umbrafer (9:03:50 PM): What specifically?
CirclMastr (9:03:59 PM): If you have a valid login on a legal connection, you're not hacking anything. You're just doing.
Umbrafer (9:04:12 PM): Also, our potential player will be sitting in on the session.
Thematrian1 (9:04:22 PM): Oh God
Umbrafer (9:04:29 PM): I've warned him about it :)
MilesMk1 (9:04:36 PM): Do most computers have - for example - some sort of password protection on legitimate login connections?
Thematrian1 (9:04:44 PM): I just hate looking like an asshole in front of people I don't know
CirclMastr (9:04:51 PM): I do it all the time.
ShadowDragon8685 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (9:05:41 PM): Hello...
Umbrafer (9:05:45 PM): Typically. Some sort of protection, whether it be biometric, password-based, key-based, or some combination.
MilesMk1 (9:05:49 PM): Or rather, hello!
MilesMk1 (9:06:23 PM): And... Do I think I have the skills to potentially bypass that sort of protection?
CirclMastr (9:06:33 PM): I doubt it.
Umbrafer (9:06:49 PM): It all depends on how the system is designed. It seems very iffy.
Thematrian1 (9:08:18 PM): Still, we haven't an alternative. The data needs to be planted, and you're as good as I am.
Umbrafer (9:08:47 PM): Where are you people standing/sitting?
Thematrian1 (9:09:05 PM): I'm in the bathroom, in the stall, still.
MilesMk1 (9:09:13 PM): (BTW... If you have the same handle on Dumpshock, the guy you quoted in your sig, ShadowDragon. ;) )
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (9:09:22 PM): (Gah, I'm the guy, I mean.)
Umbrafer (9:09:43 PM): And MacLeod is there as well. Glitch is still on the floor outside, got it.
MilesMk1 (9:09:54 PM): All by myself.
Umbrafer (9:11:16 PM): (In an unexpected endorsement of SD's choice of RPG client, Seiler's AIM client appears to be crashy tonight. How irksome)
Umbrafer (9:11:29 PM): Roll Perception at the usual modifiers for being jacked in.
CirclMastr (9:11:37 PM): (brb, dinner)
MilesMk1 (9:11:41 PM): Who, me?
Umbrafer (9:11:44 PM): Yep
ShadowDragon8685 (9:11:45 PM): (heheh, I know. Yes, it's me.)
MilesMk1 (9:12:06 PM): If they're in the bathroom, I'm logged off. In fact, I managed to log off - barely - last session.
MilesMk1 (9:12:32 PM): Remember? Something black, closing in...
Umbrafer (9:12:36 PM): Ah yes-you'd gone where after that?
CirclMastr (9:12:50 PM): (Back)
Umbrafer (9:13:01 PM): (Sorry, got back from NYC about ten minutes before the session started and didn't have time to read the logs)
Thematrian1 is not online, and therefore cannot chat.

MilesMk1 (9:13:21 PM): My "usual" place flat against the wall, watching the action.
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:13:40 PM): did we die?
MilesMk1 (9:13:43 PM): (You were in NYC? How long?)
Umbrafer (9:13:59 PM): (About 22 hours)
MilesMk1 (9:13:59 PM): Not yet, but he's making me roll perception, so things don;t look good.
MilesMk1 (9:14:13 PM): (Small world.)
Umbrafer (9:14:34 PM): (If I'd had your number and more time I would have given you a call, but I barely made it back in time as it was. Besides, maybe you prefer that freaks like me not be able to find you ;) )
Umbrafer (9:15:00 PM): Anyway. If you're not logged in, do you have a view of the guy jacked iin?
Umbrafer (9:15:02 PM): *-i
MilesMk1 (9:15:26 PM): Well, no, since we closed the door back up.
MilesMk1 (9:15:30 PM): But I am listening.
Umbrafer (9:15:52 PM): Perception, then.
MilesMk1 (9:16:11 PM): Actually... Didn't I say I was trying to move into the room while he was exiting? I'd need to be relatively close to the door for that...
MilesMk1 (9:16:15 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 3 5 3 2
MilesMk1 (9:16:20 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 6
MilesMk1 (9:16:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
MilesMk1 (9:16:35 PM): 15,11,5
Umbrafer (9:17:02 PM): You hear, very faintly, the sound of some soft drink being slurped through a straw. If the door closed properly you wouldn't have heard a thing.

Thematrian1 (9:18:47 PM): Jon and I have a mutual disarmament thing about that power, but tonight is special.
Umbrafer (9:18:56 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (9:19:05 PM): Confusion.
Umbrafer (9:19:07 PM): Sorry about that, didn't check my battery status quickly enough :)
Thematrian1 (9:19:09 PM): The confusion detente
Umbrafer (9:19:10 PM): Yeah.
Vernjonal has entered the chat room.

Umbrafer (9:19:40 PM): This has been deemed acceptable use, since he won't be concentrating particularly on anything.
Umbrafer (9:19:50 PM): (One assumes)
MilesMk1 (9:20:09 PM): #I hear slurping. Me might have movement soon.#
Thematrian1 (9:20:26 PM): #I'm ready.#
MilesMk1 (9:20:32 PM): #Gah... Pun entirely unintended.#
Umbrafer (9:20:36 PM): Perception.
MilesMk1 (9:20:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 2 2 3 4 6
Umbrafer (9:20:45 PM): *Shoonk*
Thematrian1 (9:20:47 PM): Speaking of, let's summon up a city spirit. Force six, all to drain:
MilesMk1 (9:20:49 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 4
MilesMk1 (9:20:54 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
CirclMastr (9:20:57 PM): #What am I doing in this plan again?#
MilesMk1 (9:20:58 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (9:20:59 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 4 1 2 6
Umbrafer (9:21:00 PM): Did you ever heal that previous drain?
Thematrian1 (9:21:05 PM): #Getting us out if something goes wrong#
Thematrian1 (9:21:07 PM): Nope
Thematrian1 (9:21:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (9:21:17 PM): #Hiding in the closet, unless it all goes to shit and we need to hit people.#
Thematrian1 (9:21:21 PM): (So, the TN was 8. One service, all I need)
Thematrian1 (9:21:24 PM): Drain:
Thematrian1 (9:21:26 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 2 6 1 1 1 1 5 5 4
Thematrian1 (9:22:20 PM): #If he gets out of the bathroom, I'll warn you. You intercept him and, I don't know, stash him in the closet.#
Thematrian1 (9:22:25 PM): #Inelegant, but what do you want?#
Thematrian1 (9:22:29 PM): #Check that, bathroom#
Umbrafer (9:23:16 PM): The door has opened, the guy comes out.
MilesMk1 (9:23:27 PM): 20,10,4 on that perception, BTW.
Umbrafer (9:23:40 PM): He walks to the door of the breakroom.
MilesMk1 (9:23:41 PM): #He's leaving.#
MilesMk1 (9:23:43 PM): Wait...
Thematrian1 (9:23:45 PM): #Also, it's your job to come to my rescue if I need it.#
Umbrafer (9:24:11 PM): *Waits*
MilesMk1 (9:24:22 PM): #He's at the breakroom.#
Umbrafer (9:24:33 PM): "Get the security system fixed yet?"
Umbrafer (9:24:40 PM): "Shove it up your ass and die."
MilesMk1 (9:24:58 PM): *relays the conversation verbatim*
Umbrafer (9:25:10 PM): He laughs, then walks down the hallway. You hear a door open in the distance. Sounds like it might have been the tunnel door.
Thematrian1 (9:25:16 PM): #Thank you deep river#
MilesMk1 (9:25:32 PM): #He's going towards the bathroom, buit I think the other guy might be coming back.#
MilesMk1 (9:26:05 PM): #I'm going for the security room now, just in case it gets too crowded.#
MilesMk1 (9:26:15 PM): *does so - quietly*
Umbrafer (9:26:45 PM): You hadn't slipped in when the door opens? Note that it closes moderately quickly
MilesMk1 (9:26:59 PM): Well, that was the original plan, yes...
Umbrafer (9:27:19 PM): To be clear: that is or is not what you did?
MilesMk1 (9:27:20 PM): If I could have, I did, but you made it seem like he got out before I had the chance.
Umbrafer (9:27:37 PM): He went out pretty quickly, but you still had a chance to get through.
MilesMk1 (9:27:45 PM): Ok. I'm in there, then.
Umbrafer (9:28:11 PM): You have the room to yourself.
MilesMk1 (9:28:44 PM): I look at the jackpoint and the login setup, but don't start anything just yet until Gem lets me know he's occupied.
Thematrian1 (9:28:59 PM): I kneel on the closed toilet and wait.
Umbrafer (9:29:30 PM): the jackpoint looks pretty standard. There's a keypad and a little slot next to the Big Gulp.
CirclMastr (9:29:38 PM): (Steal his Big Gulp!)
Umbrafer (9:30:07 PM): (The slot is round and has contacts inside)
MilesMk1 (9:30:10 PM): #Shit... The jackpoint has a keypad and what looks like a card reader.#
MilesMk1 (9:30:21 PM): (Oh.)
Umbrafer (9:30:30 PM): (Same general idea, as far as you can tell, just not a card)
Umbrafer (9:30:45 PM): You hear from the outside:
Thematrian1 (9:30:54 PM): #A reader? That's actually good news, it means we can steal it and get security access.#
Thematrian1 (9:31:03 PM): #Of course, first comes the actual stealing...#
Umbrafer (9:31:09 PM): "We got any spare lenses?"
Umbrafer (9:31:16 PM): "What the hell happened to that thing?"
MilesMk1 (9:31:26 PM): #Is he going to be confused enough for us to get it off him? And then there's the code...#
MilesMk1 (9:31:56 PM): #Shit, shit... They're talking about spare lenses. Pray they don't go into the maintenance closet.#
Umbrafer (9:32:00 PM): "Cord fried itself out, far as I can tell. Camera looks ok, but the thing was arcing when I went down there."
Thematrian1 (9:32:09 PM): #It breaks your head pretty thoroughly.#
Umbrafer (9:32:30 PM): "So what do you need the lense for?"
MilesMk1 (9:32:32 PM): #Huh?#
Umbrafer (9:32:47 PM): "Camera by the hole. Smashed itself out. Damned if I know how."
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (9:33:04 PM): When Gem returns, the bathroom door will be opening.
MilesMk1 (9:33:08 PM): Grr.
Umbrafer (9:34:29 PM): Meanwhile, any actions?
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (9:37:32 PM): I try to figure out whether it'd be possible for me to bypass the keypad and/or the actual key slot.
Umbrafer (9:37:39 PM): The bathroom door is opening.
Thematrian1 (9:37:52 PM): #What kind of shoes is the decker wearing?#
Thematrian1 (9:38:10 PM): Ready an action to order the spirit to confuse if he opens the stall door
Umbrafer (9:38:12 PM): Roll Electronics to figure that out.
Umbrafer (9:39:05 PM): (The bypassing question, not the shoes/action readying)
MilesMk1 (9:39:26 PM): *if I remember, I tell her*
MilesMk1 (9:39:30 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 6 6 1 6 1 1
MilesMk1 (9:39:35 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 1
Thematrian1 (9:40:05 PM): Does he remember? If so, I give him a few seconds, then peek under the stall barrier. Right shoes?
MilesMk1 (9:40:06 PM): Another excellent roll that'll no doubt tell me I know exactly why it's impossible. ;)
Umbrafer (9:40:59 PM): The long and the short of it: the keypad is, as far as you can tell, a normal keypad with the same weaknesses. it looks like good quality, so it'll be tough, but it's normal stuff for you.
Umbrafer (9:41:22 PM): The slot-thing not so much. It all depends on what it's set up to accept, and you can't really make a guess based on what you know right now.
MilesMk1 (9:41:49 PM): Well... That's sort of a good thing, then...
MilesMk1 (9:42:21 PM): I wait tensely.
Thematrian1 (9:42:41 PM): According to the shoe test, is it the right guy?
Umbrafer (9:42:47 PM): Glitch appears to not remember the guy's shows.
Umbrafer (9:42:50 PM): *shoes
Thematrian1 (9:43:13 PM): so be it. The bathroom door has opened. Someone came inside; are they heading for the stall or the urinal?
Umbrafer (9:43:26 PM): They head for the urinal.
Thematrian1 (9:44:09 PM): Ok, I wait for the feet to stop moving then peek under the divider and order the Confusion
Umbrafer (9:44:50 PM): He finishes up, then heads to the sink.
Umbrafer (9:45:15 PM): It takes him about a minute to figure out what he wants to do with the sink. He starts trying to twist the faucet.
Thematrian1 (9:45:35 PM): I crack the stall door so I can open it if needed
MilesMk1 (9:46:02 PM): #Gem, I think I can crack the keypad, but I'll need the code-key.#
Thematrian1 (9:46:23 PM): #This isn't going to work. I'm gonna shock him.#
Thematrian1 (9:46:32 PM): I open the stall door while he's twisting the faucet
Thematrian1 (9:46:46 PM): Going for silence here. Unarmed is still slotted from our time with the Blood Kites.
Thematrian1 (9:46:59 PM): Do I see anything code-key-y on his belt?
Umbrafer (9:47:11 PM): He's still twisting the faucet when you emerge. He shows no signs of noticing. You see nothing of the sort.
MilesMk1 (9:47:31 PM): #Wait... Why do you need to shock him?#
Thematrian1 (9:47:36 PM): Crap. Close it again before he looks in the mirror.
Thematrian1 (9:48:33 PM): #I don't see anything on his person. I have to search him.#
Umbrafer (9:48:37 PM): Time passes. You hear him getting vaguely frustrated with the faucet for not turning.
MilesMk1 (9:49:42 PM): #Damn it... I suppose it's too much to hope for that he left it behind, but let me check...#
Umbrafer (9:49:46 PM): He makes a noise that sounds like it may have been intended to be speech, then walks into the wall next to the stall.
MilesMk1 (9:50:19 PM): #Anyway, if we're going to shock him, just let him come back here, and I'll do it once he unlocks the connection.#
Umbrafer (9:50:51 PM): He mumbles something that sounds like an apology.
Thematrian1 (9:51:12 PM): #He's in no shape to unlock anything just now.#
MilesMk1 (9:51:30 PM): *looks for code-keys* (in desk drawers, under flat surfaces, limited edition big-gulp mugs, etc.)
MilesMk1 (9:51:47 PM): #Oh. You mean you can't just turn it off?#
Thematrian1 (9:52:05 PM): #I can. But once it's off I'm done for this mission. It's not something to do lightly.#
MilesMk1 (9:52:52 PM): #Well, you're there. It's your call. But it seems to me if he's going to get shocked, doing it here creates fewer problems.#

You are now in chat room “sotsw081105.”
MilesMk1 (9:53:42 PM): #All right. Go for it.#
Umbrafer (9:53:49 PM): Did Glitch roll for the search?
Umbrafer (9:53:54 PM): (If so, I missed it)
MilesMk1 (9:53:54 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 2 4 2 1 5
MilesMk1 (9:53:57 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (9:54:02 PM): He did now. :D
MilesMk1 (9:54:09 PM): 11,5,4
Umbrafer (9:54:13 PM): He didn't leave it in the room, as you thought.
MilesMk1 (9:54:24 PM): #Yeah, he must have it on him.#
MilesMk1 (9:54:43 PM): (BTW, now that Gem saw the whole guy, she's positive it's the right one, yes?)
Thematrian1 (9:54:54 PM): (Excellent question. Jon?)
Umbrafer (9:55:01 PM): (Yes)
Thematrian1 (9:55:11 PM): (Nifty)
Thematrian1 (9:55:39 PM): Open the stall again, step behind him, shock glove to the back of the neck.
Thematrian1 (9:56:03 PM): Unarmed:
Thematrian1 (9:56:06 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 3 2 6 6 4
Umbrafer (9:56:19 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 2
CirclMastr (9:56:20 PM): #How come you get to hit him and not me?#
Thematrian1 (9:56:21 PM): (My TN is seven from assorted wound mods, so that's two successes)
Umbrafer (9:56:28 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 3
Thematrian1 (9:56:29 PM): #I don't leave bruises#
Umbrafer (9:56:36 PM): (What's base damage level?)
Thematrian1 (9:56:41 PM): 7S and 2M
Umbrafer (9:56:54 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 2 5
Umbrafer (9:57:25 PM): He turns and apologizes to you, or rather mumbles half-words in an apologetic tone. You landed a decently solid blow, but he shows no recognition of this.
CirclMastr (9:57:59 PM): (We're screwed)
Thematrian1 (9:58:07 PM): I smile at him, and caress his face with my left hand.
Thematrian1 (9:58:18 PM): Assuming for the nonce that he doesn't try to hit me back
Thematrian1 (9:58:34 PM): (The left hand is the shock hand, in case that wasn't clear)
Umbrafer (9:58:39 PM): That's a good assumption. The idea that he might be in combat appears to have not downed on him yet.
Umbrafer (9:58:44 PM): *dawne
Umbrafer (9:58:45 PM): *d
Thematrian1 (9:58:59 PM): ok, once more
Thematrian1 (9:59:01 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 2 4 1 1 3
Thematrian1 (9:59:12 PM): no successes. Of course, his TN is 12, so maybe...
Umbrafer (9:59:41 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 3 6 4 3 6 1 4 5 2 1 5 2 4 3
Umbrafer (9:59:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 1 2
Umbrafer (10:00:12 PM): He sorta staggers away from you, but doesn't appear to have taken any aggressive action.
Thematrian1 (10:01:04 PM): I lean in and whisper in his ear: "Remember the deep river." Shock him once more.
Thematrian1 (10:01:06 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 3 6 3 4
Thematrian1 (10:01:19 PM): (2 more successes)
Umbrafer (10:01:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 5 6
Umbrafer (10:01:30 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 5
Umbrafer (10:01:34 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 6 3
Thematrian1 (10:01:36 PM): #Searching him now. MacLeod, if you hear footsteps please warn me.#
Umbrafer (10:01:39 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
Umbrafer (10:01:56 PM): "Deep River, Rhine."
Thematrian1 (10:02:01 PM): (apologies if that was premature)
Thematrian1 (10:02:10 PM): "No. Running. Deep river running."
Thematrian1 (10:02:27 PM): (if I have time)
Umbrafer (10:02:45 PM): He says it again, though this time you're less sure if he said "Rhine" or "running"
CirclMastr (10:03:02 PM): #Can't I just hit him? He's clearly high on something.#
Thematrian1 (10:04:11 PM): I turn him around and go through his pockets.
Thematrian1 (10:04:18 PM): I don't care if he's unconscious or not.
Umbrafer (10:05:05 PM): He mumbles but doesn't resist.
Umbrafer (10:05:11 PM): As far as you can tell, he's offering you a breath mint.
Thematrian1 (10:05:24 PM): I take it. What else does he have in his pocketsses?
Thematrian1 (10:05:37 PM): If I find a ring, I'm leaving it where it is.
Umbrafer (10:05:49 PM): A small cylindrical object on a keychain
Thematrian1 (10:05:59 PM): #Found it#
Umbrafer (10:06:08 PM): He also has a ring, which you pass by,
Thematrian1 (10:06:12 PM): Sure do.
Umbrafer (10:07:13 PM): He then tries to go into the stall.
Thematrian1 (10:08:14 PM): I let him. I shut and lock the door, then climb over the divider into the bathroom proper.
Thematrian1 (10:08:39 PM): (I take it I found nothing else of interest?)
Umbrafer (10:09:21 PM): He's got his credstick, a phone, and a few family photos.
Thematrian1 (10:10:04 PM): Hm. I take the phone and take camera shots of whatever numbers I might find within.
Thematrian1 (10:10:43 PM): I'll leave it on the sink.
Thematrian1 (10:10:58 PM): #So, the only problem left is getting it to you.#
Umbrafer (10:11:04 PM): You get a couple of numbers. They're mostly people's names, though there are a few listings like "Joe's Pizza" and "Laundromat"
Thematrian1 (10:11:36 PM): I figured. I'll learn his number too, if it's easy to do
Umbrafer (10:11:48 PM): Easy as any other number.
Thematrian1 (10:12:03 PM): excellent
MilesMk1 (10:12:14 PM): #I suppose I could come out and get it...#
Thematrian1 (10:12:30 PM): #'ware the door, the camera can see it. But good enough.#
Umbrafer (10:14:09 PM): Action?
Thematrian1 (10:14:17 PM): #Dawn has already happened, so I can hold this Confuse for 12 hours if necessary.#
MilesMk1 (10:15:09 PM): I listen to make sure there's no one outside, then just try to slide out of the room as smoothly and quickly as possible, to lower my chance of attracting notice if someone else is watching the cameras.
MilesMk1 (10:15:19 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 2 6 5
MilesMk1 (10:15:24 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (10:15:33 PM): 10,5,5,54
Umbrafer (10:15:42 PM): You don't hear anything but the hum of a microwave. Stealth for out-slipping.
MilesMk1 (10:15:59 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 2 3 3 4
MilesMk1 (10:16:03 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (10:16:27 PM): You slip.
Umbrafer (10:16:29 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 3 3 4 6 5 6 5 1 5 6 3 6 5 6
Umbrafer (10:16:33 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 3 4
Umbrafer (10:16:38 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (10:16:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Umbrafer (10:16:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Umbrafer (10:16:53 PM): You smell warmed burrito.
MilesMk1 (10:18:20 PM): If there's no sign I was noticed, I head for the bathroom.
Umbrafer (10:18:32 PM): You see no such sign. The bathroom is a few short steps away.
Umbrafer (10:18:44 PM): One of the lights has started to flicker.
MilesMk1 (10:19:29 PM): Ceiling lights?
MilesMk1 (10:19:52 PM): #All right, I'm outside the bathroom... Pass me the key.#
Umbrafer (10:20:05 PM): Ceiling lights, yes.
Umbrafer (10:20:08 PM): Not a warning light.
Thematrian1 (10:20:13 PM): I slide it under the door if I can, open the door if I have to.
Umbrafer (10:20:42 PM): Bathroom door is too close to flush.
Thematrian1 (10:20:54 PM): slip it open a bit and stick it through
Umbrafer (10:21:08 PM): You open it, make the pass quickly, and slide it closed.
Umbrafer (10:21:29 PM): The guy is standing in the bathroom stall trying to find a jackpoint.
MilesMk1 (10:21:37 PM): Poor bastard.
MilesMk1 (10:22:13 PM): Ok. I head back and slip in, making sure the guards are still distracted by their burritos.
Umbrafer (10:22:46 PM): One of them appears to be swearing, the other laughing. You're not sure what about.
MilesMk1 (10:23:26 PM): (I can see him try to explain already: "Guys, this beautiful woman touched me in the bathroom...")
MilesMk1 (10:23:53 PM): I keep on moving.
Umbrafer (10:24:17 PM): *Slide*
Umbrafer (10:24:24 PM): Another quick Stealth and you're in.
MilesMk1 (10:24:29 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 2 6 2 5 5
MilesMk1 (10:24:32 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (10:24:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 2 1 1 6 3 4 6 5 6 5 2 6 5 4
Umbrafer (10:24:46 PM): Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 6 3 5 5
Umbrafer (10:24:48 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Umbrafer (10:24:56 PM): You're in. Actions from either crew?
Thematrian1 (10:25:16 PM): I wait. If the guy starts making lots of noise or tries to leave the bathroom, I react.
Thematrian1 (10:25:36 PM): (MacLeod gets the shaft. Sorry :-/)
MilesMk1 (10:25:38 PM): I stop to listen to make sure no one noticed me and is coming to investigate, then start to crack the jackpoint.
MilesMk1 (10:26:15 PM): If it seems to me based on what I know about locks and security that I should insert the key before cracking the keypad, I do so.
CirclMastr (10:26:16 PM): (I'm used to it)
MilesMk1 (10:26:29 PM): (That seems like the right order to me, but I'm not sure.)
Umbrafer (10:27:06 PM): (That seems reasonable to Glitch as the right order)
MilesMk1 (10:27:31 PM): Ok. I insert the key, then crack the keypad... B/R and Electronics?
Umbrafer (10:27:39 PM): Yep
MilesMk1 (10:27:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 6 2 1 4 1
Umbrafer (10:27:46 PM): *Slide, click* *Vmmmmm*
MilesMk1 (10:27:47 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (10:27:52 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 6 6 3 6 4 4 1
MilesMk1 (10:28:02 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 6
MilesMk1 (10:28:05 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (10:28:31 PM): 11 on B/R, 16,11,10 on Electronics.
Umbrafer (10:28:36 PM): Takes you a few minutes to crack the pad, but no one interrupts you. The next part goes much more smoothly.
MilesMk1 (10:29:35 PM): #I think I got the jackpoint licked. Cross your fingers.#
Thematrian1 (10:29:48 PM): #Oh, I am#
MilesMk1 (10:30:17 PM): Do any green lights or other nice happy indicators come on showing I succeeded?
MilesMk1 (10:30:58 PM): If not... Well, I guess I try to to log in anyway. ;p
Umbrafer (10:31:02 PM): The fans on the hardware are working slightly harder now.
MilesMk1 (10:31:25 PM): Since I didn't see any other lockouts, I try to login and do my thing.
Umbrafer (10:31:30 PM): *Click* *Shoomp*
MilesMk1 (10:31:43 PM): #Trying to log in now.#
Umbrafer (10:31:54 PM): You wind up in a relatively simplistic representation of a control room. Status monitors are all around.
Thematrian1 (10:31:56 PM): Gem whispers a few prayers.
Umbrafer (10:32:18 PM): (Eep, sorry, were you jacking in through the deck?)
Umbrafer (10:32:26 PM): (Your own deck, that is?)
Thematrian1 (10:32:37 PM): (I'd assume he was using whatever Mr. Official was using)
MilesMk1 (10:32:41 PM): Uh... No. I thought this whole ordeal was so I wouldn't need to, right?
Umbrafer (10:32:59 PM): (I thought so as well, but something you said made me think twice. Never mind, carry on.)
Umbrafer (10:33:33 PM): The monitors show things ranging from static to video feeds to graphs and gauges that you don't know the meaning of.
Umbrafer (10:33:47 PM): Security status is marked as green.
MilesMk1 (10:34:31 PM): I try to use my encephalon-given powers to memorize as much of the technical info for later analysis if necessary. (still want to know what this place monitors)
Umbrafer (10:35:24 PM): Give an Int roll. What else are you doing?
MilesMk1 (10:35:30 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 3 3 6 3 5 5
MilesMk1 (10:35:36 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 3
MilesMk1 (10:35:40 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
MilesMk1 (10:35:43 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
MilesMk1 (10:36:23 PM): Just following the instructions we got for installing the software we were given.
MilesMk1 (10:37:47 PM): Including whatever I might have to do to get them through the security this place has - not getting completely complacent by any means.
Umbrafer (10:38:10 PM): Roll Computers on that one.
MilesMk1 (10:38:18 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 5 5 5 5 2 2
MilesMk1 (10:38:25 PM): Hmm...
Thematrian1 (10:38:32 PM): (TN 5! TN 5! TN 5!)
MilesMk1 (10:39:12 PM): I'll karma if necessary - don't want to fuck this part up...
Umbrafer (10:39:20 PM): Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 5 6 2 4 3 2 2 3 6 4 2 1 3 2
Umbrafer (10:39:24 PM): Unknown "//" command.
Umbrafer (10:39:29 PM): Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
Umbrafer (10:39:35 PM): You think you've got a handle on how to do it. You load the command sets in and trigger them.
Umbrafer (10:39:58 PM): Suddenly they aren't there anymore. You're not sure where they've gone, or if there was some kind of write error copying them on.
MilesMk1 (10:40:41 PM): (Too late to Karma?)
Umbrafer (10:40:53 PM): (You can karma if you want)
Thematrian1 (10:40:54 PM): (Figures. They didn't want us walking away with a copy of the command set)
MilesMk1 (10:41:18 PM): Or does it seem more likely that whatever I installed is just covering its tracks?
Thematrian1 (10:41:22 PM): (Probably didn't want us to know about all those explosives, either)
Umbrafer (10:41:26 PM): Note that this applies to the copy you'd thought was on the server as well.
Thematrian1 (10:41:59 PM): (Which, again, makes perfect sense. We've done our jobs, let's get the hell out.)
MilesMk1 (10:42:12 PM): (I still have to do the hardware part.)
Umbrafer (10:42:21 PM): (Which was the primary objective, I'll note)
Thematrian1 (10:42:23 PM): (There's a hardware part? D'oh)
Umbrafer (10:42:36 PM): (Software was optional-ish)
MilesMk1 (10:42:39 PM): (This part seemed harder, so I figured I'd do it first...)
MilesMk1 (10:43:07 PM): All right. I log out, reassemble the keypad, get the key, and set about the hardware job.
MilesMk1 (10:43:51 PM): First I'll examine the site carefully to make sure I'm not missing something vital, then get to it.
MilesMk1 (10:43:55 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 3 2 3 6
MilesMk1 (10:44:00 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 4
MilesMk1 (10:44:05 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
MilesMk1 (10:44:12 PM): (that was my examination)
Umbrafer (10:45:11 PM): Unless you'd like to give a better definition of "something vital", you aren't missing it.
MilesMk1 (10:46:36 PM): Like an alarm, or some broken ungrounded connection, or the fact opening the panel risks making the fuses blow...
MilesMk1 (10:46:52 PM): If not, I get to it... B/R and Electronics?
Umbrafer (10:46:58 PM): If there's such a thing, it's not visible. Indeed.
Thematrian1 (10:47:00 PM): (Commonsense stuff that Glitch would know and Matt, not)
MilesMk1 (10:47:20 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 5 4 6 1 4 5
MilesMk1 (10:47:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (10:47:27 PM): (Yep, I was just wondering the general category thereof. "People with assault rifles" also falls under the above description)
MilesMk1 (10:47:33 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 2 1 3 2 2 6
MilesMk1 (10:47:37 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 5
Umbrafer (10:48:01 PM): Where are the people in the bathroom?
Thematrian1 (10:48:17 PM): Your question contains its answer ;-)
Thematrian1 (10:48:33 PM): Oh, I see.
Umbrafer (10:48:36 PM): I seek more specificity.
Thematrian1 (10:49:04 PM): He's in the stall. I'm...not. MacLeod was going to warn me if he heard anyone move in the bathroom direction.
Umbrafer (10:50:03 PM): Let's get Perception from him.
Umbrafer (10:50:13 PM): The electronics installation is going smoothly, but not quickly.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (10:51:06 PM): And Gem conveniently warps out of the bathroom and to the van.
CirclMastr (10:51:35 PM): CirclMastr rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 4 6 6
CirclMastr (10:51:37 PM): CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
Umbrafer (10:51:55 PM): Two things:
Umbrafer (10:52:06 PM): Firstly, you hear humming approaching the bathroom door.
Umbrafer (10:52:31 PM): Secondly, the tingling is back, and slowly growing. It's tugging your attention back in the direction of the tunnel.
CirclMastr (10:53:07 PM): #There's something in the tunnel. And someone's coming this way.#
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (10:54:45 PM): CirclMastr: #There's something in the tunnel. And someone's coming this way.#
Thematrian1 (10:55:04 PM): #Thank you#
Thematrian1 (10:55:13 PM): What's Mr. Confusion doing?
Umbrafer (10:55:33 PM): he appears to be trying to plug the roll of toilet paper into his datajack.
Thematrian1 (10:55:57 PM): Can the bathroom door be locked?
MilesMk1 (10:56:12 PM): It can, we asked last week.
Umbrafer (10:56:24 PM): Yep
Thematrian1 (10:56:25 PM): woo
Thematrian1 (10:56:35 PM): I lock the door, silently. In fact, if possible I lock it ten minutes ago
Umbrafer (10:56:42 PM): Done.
Thematrian1 (10:56:49 PM): (though with six boxes of stun, forgetting about it is sadly legitimate...)
Umbrafer (10:57:45 PM): Someone comes up, jiggles the handle.
Umbrafer (10:58:01 PM): Muttering from outside, then silence.
CirclMastr (10:58:11 PM): #I want to check out the tunnel.#
MilesMk1 (10:58:50 PM): #I'm doing really well in here... Just let me finish, and we can get the hell out!#
CirclMastr (10:59:45 PM): #I've got that nagging feeling again and I want to know what the hell it is.#
MilesMk1 (11:00:13 PM): #Well, we have to go that way when we leave ANYWAY.#
CirclMastr (11:00:55 PM): #Ugh, fine.#
MilesMk1 (11:01:06 PM): #Just remember, some of us don't get better if we get killed.#
Umbrafer (11:01:32 PM): A few more minutes pass.
MilesMk1 (11:01:34 PM): *bare whisper* "...or think the do..."
MilesMk1 (11:01:39 PM): they
CirclMastr (11:02:17 PM): #It's an Immortal.#
Umbrafer (11:02:25 PM): Glitch is about two minutes away from finishing installation.
Thematrian1 (11:02:30 PM): #Perk up. If this goes to hell, you've got the best chance of bluffing your way out#
MilesMk1 (11:03:04 PM): #Can *he* tell you're here?#
CirclMastr (11:03:17 PM): #I don't know. But I've got to face him alone.#
MilesMk1 (11:03:18 PM): #Shit, I need another couple of minutes.#
CirclMastr (11:03:32 PM): #Fine. Either you'll pass my body in the tunnel or I'll be waiting for you.#
Thematrian1 (11:03:37 PM): #I get to try to pretend I'm this decker's call girl, and Glitch is just screwed.#
CirclMastr (11:03:54 PM): ::unlocks the door and takes a quick peek out::
Umbrafer (11:05:06 PM): You see someone standing with his back to you, looking at his watch.
CirclMastr (11:05:37 PM): ::lets the door close and relocks it:: #Damnit!#
CirclMastr (11:05:45 PM): #Bastard is just standing outside the door.#
MilesMk1 (11:06:37 PM): #Well... Let me finish and think hard of what distraction I could use to get him out of there without being too damn suspicious.#
Umbrafer (11:07:20 PM): The last of the items snaps into place.
MilesMk1 (11:07:40 PM): I clean up.
MilesMk1 (11:07:57 PM): Is the closet door in LOS of the door to the room I'm in?
MilesMk1 (11:08:42 PM): In fact, I try to clean up real well, so this won't be found...
Umbrafer (11:08:43 PM): Closet or bathroom?
MilesMk1 (11:09:20 PM): Well... Wouldn't hurt if I knew about both, but I wanted to know about the door Macleod is behind. Which I think is the closet's.
CirclMastr (11:09:39 PM): I thought I was in the bathroom
Thematrian1 (11:09:42 PM): Reminds me: status check on Mr. Decker? If we need a distraction...
Umbrafer (11:09:57 PM): Bathroom, and no LOS.
Thematrian1 (11:10:07 PM): wait, MacLeod is with me?
Thematrian1 (11:10:11 PM): nice
MilesMk1 (11:10:12 PM): #Ok, I'm done. This went well, at least.#
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:10:30 PM): I may be misremembering the plan, but I thought he was.
Umbrafer (11:11:02 PM): The decker is currently trying to troubleshoot his connection to the roll of toilet paper.
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:13:03 PM): Umbrafer: The decker is currently trying to troubleshoot his connection to the roll of toilet paper.
Thematrian1 (11:13:11 PM): thanks
MilesMk1 (11:14:29 PM): Ok... I take the key, make sure I left no clues behind, then slip out of the room.
Thematrian1 (11:14:39 PM): Wait
Thematrian1 (11:14:47 PM): isn't there a guy watching...never mind
Thematrian1 (11:14:49 PM): wrong angle
Umbrafer (11:15:39 PM): You do so to a reasonable degree.
Umbrafer (11:16:54 PM): The hallway seems vacant.
Thematrian1 (11:17:01 PM): Oh GM: can I do any kind of analysis of how injured Mr. Decker is? Were my shocking blows not hurting him, or is he just too muddled to notice? More exactly: when I drop the confusion and the pain kicks in, do I think it will...
Thematrian1 (11:17:04 PM): ...drop him?
MilesMk1 (11:17:43 PM): #Ok, I'm out... Any ideas how we get this guy out of the way, set the decker loose, and leave?#
Umbrafer (11:17:47 PM): He definitely showed an additional loss of functionality after you took a few swings at him.
CirclMastr (11:18:09 PM): ::is getting impatient::
Thematrian1 (11:18:31 PM): MacLeod is free to contribute ideas that would speed us on our way.
CirclMastr (11:18:51 PM): MacLeod wants to knock out the guy standing by the door and head for the tunnels.
CirclMastr (11:19:25 PM): #Can't we just nudge the decker out the door, let him be confused in front of the other guy for a bit, then drop the spirit power and let them go to a medic?#
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:20:05 PM): #The only risk is that he'll have enough presence of mind to check the bathroom... Or just see you guys through the door.#
CirclMastr (11:20:32 PM): #He'll figure the spaced out decker locked himself in the bathroom.#
MilesMk1 (11:21:36 PM): (Someone else try inviting him?)
Umbrafer (11:21:48 PM): (Just tried)
MilesMk1 (11:22:12 PM): (Man, this is a bad day for connections. We hadn't had this sort of trouble for months.)
Thematrian1 is not online, and therefore cannot chat.

Umbrafer (11:22:22 PM): (Indeed.)
CirclMastr (11:22:27 PM): (It's because J finally included something for me to do)
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:22:53 PM): (There have been things for you to do previously, this is just the only one tailor-made for that)
MilesMk1 (11:22:54 PM): Yay!
Thematrian1 (11:22:57 PM): #Right now, my best plan is to let the decker out, then escape when they take him to medical. He'll quit being confused as soon as he leaves the building, but he'll still have been knocked around.#
CirclMastr (11:23:06 PM): (They won't let me do anything else I could do)
CirclMastr (11:23:23 PM): #Sounds good, let's do it.#
MilesMk1 (11:23:39 PM): (Hey, you could have taken out the bloodkites. :p )
Thematrian1 (11:23:41 PM): #Glitch, you ready to escape in the confusion?#
CirclMastr (11:23:53 PM): (Not the way I was rolling then :P )
MilesMk1 (11:24:00 PM): #It's not that big a deal for me... If they don't notice you guys leave, I can waltz out.#
Thematrian1 (11:24:22 PM): #Touche. Ok then, Operation Drugged Out Decker...commence!#
MilesMk1 (11:24:23 PM): #I'll be right behind you in any case.#
Thematrian1 (11:24:35 PM): I grab the decker and pull him from the bathroom stall
CirclMastr (11:24:47 PM): ::unlocks the door in prep, but doesn't open it yet::
Thematrian1 (11:24:49 PM): If he resists at all, I ask MacLeod to help me move him
Umbrafer (11:24:52 PM): "Aw fuck it."
Umbrafer (11:25:00 PM): (This from guy outside)(
MilesMk1 (11:25:01 PM): #Wait! What about the key? Shit, I'll need to plant it in the bathroom, or something...#
CirclMastr (11:25:02 PM): ::locks it again::
Umbrafer (11:25:21 PM): The decker resists a tiny bit, but then gives in.
MilesMk1 (11:25:26 PM): #And the guy outside seems to maybe be changing his mind...#
CirclMastr (11:25:28 PM): #Hold on.#
CirclMastr (11:25:32 PM): #I think the guy is giving up.#
Thematrian1 (11:26:26 PM): Footsteps?
Umbrafer (11:26:40 PM): He wanders off muttering about how he's out of there in an hour anyway.
CirclMastr (11:27:05 PM): #Leave him.# ::unlocks the door and quietly opens it, peeking again::
Umbrafer (11:27:52 PM): No one visible.
Thematrian1 (11:27:54 PM): I stretch the decker out on the floor, face down. I'll leave his pants down, just for verisimilitude.
CirclMastr (11:28:08 PM): ::heads to the tunnels::
Umbrafer (11:28:09 PM): Done.
CirclMastr (11:28:20 PM): ::one hand on katana hilt under my coat::
Thematrian1 (11:28:27 PM): Then I shock him, as carefully as possible, until he loses consciousness
MilesMk1 (11:28:36 PM): I stop by the bathroom to return the key.
Thematrian1 (11:28:41 PM): Into the pocket it goes.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:28:50 PM): AAAAARGH!
CirclMastr (11:29:00 PM): ::smacks Seiler around a bit with a large trout::
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:30:10 PM): Router melted yet?
Thematrian1 (11:30:20 PM): depends on whether my roommate holds me back
Thematrian1 (11:30:22 PM): we'll see
MilesMk1 (11:30:42 PM): #You know... We have one problem. If he's lying on the floor passed out, how did the previously locked door get opened?#
Umbrafer (11:30:50 PM): Nothing since you left.
CirclMastr (11:30:56 PM): ::is still heading to the tunnels::
Thematrian1 (11:31:02 PM): #Ok, we leave him half in, half out of the bathroom.#
MilesMk1 (11:31:27 PM): GM: Is this bathroom lock one of those you can shift from the outside with a screwdriver?
Thematrian1 (11:31:29 PM): #He almost made it out. Or...#
Umbrafer (11:32:08 PM): No, deadbolt.
Thematrian1 (11:32:12 PM): That's fine.
Thematrian1 (11:32:20 PM): Can I render this guy unconscious?
Umbrafer (11:32:53 PM): Go for it
Thematrian1 (11:33:09 PM): making me roll for it? Fine, fine
Thematrian1 (11:33:12 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 3 2 1 5 3
Thematrian1 (11:33:15 PM): again
Thematrian1 (11:33:18 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 2 2 1
Umbrafer (11:33:23 PM): No no, that'll do
Umbrafer (11:33:28 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 2 4
Umbrafer (11:33:33 PM): He's out.
MilesMk1 (11:33:40 PM): #Any chance you could get a spirit to move the bolt back after we leave, or something? Or are you all out?#
Thematrian1 (11:33:48 PM): (Yep, that was my plan)
Thematrian1 (11:34:12 PM): #Yeah, I can manage that. I hope.#
MilesMk1 (11:34:19 PM): #Good.#
Thematrian1 (11:34:22 PM): From inside, with the door closed, I summon a force 4 city spirit
Thematrian1 (11:34:27 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 3 4 3 3
Thematrian1 (11:34:29 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 3 2 2 4 6 3 6
Thematrian1 (11:34:34 PM): or not. At leas tthere's no drain. Again
Thematrian1 (11:34:37 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 5 6 3
Thematrian1 (11:34:39 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 1 5 2 2 6 6 4 2 4
Thematrian1 (11:34:45 PM): still no drain, and I have my spirit
Thematrian1 (11:35:10 PM): #Glitch: clear to leave?#
MilesMk1 (11:35:13 PM): If the key was clipped to a keychain, I replace it.
MilesMk1 (11:35:38 PM): #Yeah, good to go. Macleod, how's the way out?#
Thematrian1 (11:35:40 PM): Oh, I put it back in the same pocket, if I remember which one
CirclMastr (11:35:54 PM): MacLeod has no idea because the GM has yet to acknowledge that he ever left.
Umbrafer (11:36:49 PM): Ah, hadn't caught that part. You're at the hole, the sense is unmistakable but moderately distant.
CirclMastr (11:37:01 PM): Do I know which way it is?
Umbrafer (11:37:47 PM): Down the tunnel, toward the plant.
CirclMastr (11:37:56 PM): ::heads that way::
Umbrafer (11:38:44 PM): The feeling's getting weaker, but not quickly. You head down into the hole.
CirclMastr (11:39:09 PM): #I haven't seen anyone yet.# ::keeps following the feeling::
Umbrafer (11:39:14 PM): Actions from the others? Gem is pretty sure she got the same pocket, but that's small currency right now.
Thematrian1 (11:39:38 PM): I should say. I get outside the door, close it, then.
MilesMk1 (11:39:53 PM): I go with Gem.
Thematrian1 (11:39:55 PM): ::whispered:: "Oh spirit of the sterile halls..."
Umbrafer (11:40:17 PM): MacLeod rounds the bend and sees three people walking away.
CirclMastr (11:40:37 PM): Can I tell which one is producing the feeling?
MilesMk1 (11:40:52 PM): #See this guy of yours ye, MacLeod?#
CirclMastr (11:40:58 PM): #Three people.#
Umbrafer (11:41:28 PM): You think so. The one on the left, an Ork with a poofy leather jacket on.
MilesMk1 (11:41:28 PM): #Well, didn't you say this has to be a one-on-one thing? I guess you'll need to leave it. Too bad.#
CirclMastr (11:41:42 PM): "Wait."
CirclMastr (11:42:02 PM): #Just get out.#
Thematrian1 (11:42:05 PM): (Assuming I get a reply) "Lock this door" ::points::
Umbrafer (11:42:08 PM): How loud?
MilesMk1 (11:42:18 PM): *senses a great disturbance in his credit account*
Umbrafer (11:42:22 PM): (Er, you did. You hear a click.)
CirclMastr (11:42:24 PM): As quietly as I can that will let them hear.
Umbrafer (11:42:45 PM): Given that they're about fifty meters away, that's not quiet.
CirclMastr (11:42:54 PM): Oh
CirclMastr (11:43:02 PM): Then I approach closer first.
Thematrian1 (11:43:11 PM): ::turns to Glitch, nods, makes an 'after you' gesture::
MilesMk1 (11:43:19 PM): *leads the way out*
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:43:41 PM): You move to close with them. Running or just walking quickly?
Umbrafer (11:43:47 PM): Glitch: how are you going out?
CirclMastr (11:43:53 PM): The latter.
Umbrafer (11:44:08 PM): *Nods*
MilesMk1 (11:45:56 PM): Just leaving the way we came.
CirclMastr (11:45:58 PM): So... Seiler getting back anytime?
MilesMk1 (11:46:21 PM): He's back on, he's just not in the room yet...
MilesMk1 (11:46:38 PM): He'll probably need to log off then on again, like before...
MilesMk1 (11:46:47 PM): Since the invites don't seem to work.
Thematrian1 is not online, and therefore cannot chat.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

CirclMastr (11:48:09 PM): Huzzah
Thematrian1 (11:48:25 PM): I follow Glitch, let him go around the corners first in case people are watching.
MilesMk1 (11:48:44 PM): Yeah... BTW, when I get back to the hole, is it open, or closed?
Umbrafer (11:48:54 PM): Open.
CirclMastr (11:49:01 PM): ::still heads quickly after the trio::
MilesMk1 (11:49:43 PM): #Damn it, Macleod... These guys came in from the outside, but if you get into a fight with them, it might still draw attention.#
CirclMastr (11:49:55 PM): #I don't want to get into a fight.#
Thematrian1 (11:50:01 PM): #The hell you don't#
MilesMk1 (11:50:29 PM): *whispers to Gem* "Well? Do we leave the nutjob behind, or get out of here? You look really worn out, maybe I should check on him..."
Umbrafer (11:50:47 PM): You pass the opening you came in by. You'll catch up to them in about twenty meters.
Thematrian1 (11:50:58 PM): "I need to lie down again."
CirclMastr (11:51:01 PM): ::goes a bit faster::
Umbrafer (11:51:03 PM): Meanwhile, you two get to the bottom of the ladder unless there's some other action.
Thematrian1 (11:51:09 PM): "The fact is, neither of us can stop him. At this point, it doesn't matter to the mission, so let him do what he likes."
Thematrian1 (11:51:21 PM): #MacLeod, you're outside, right?#
CirclMastr (11:51:33 PM): #In the tunnel. Went past where we came in.#
Thematrian1 (11:52:11 PM): #Gah. Do what you have to do quickly so I can plug this hole, all right?#
CirclMastr (11:52:41 PM): Can I say "Wait!" with any degree of quiet yet?
MilesMk1 (11:52:59 PM): #Who the fuck are these people and what are they doing in our hole?#
Umbrafer (11:53:09 PM): Kinda-sorta.
Umbrafer (11:53:21 PM): You'd still definitely be calling out, but it wouldn't be shouting.
CirclMastr (11:53:23 PM): #Probably the other team.# ::gets a bit closer, then says it::
MilesMk1 (11:54:35 PM): *whispers and gets his silenced gun out* "I'm going to get a little closer to make sure he doesn't get shot or something..."
MilesMk1 (11:54:49 PM): *moves so that he can see MacLeod*
Thematrian1 (11:54:56 PM): ::leans against the wall:: "Have fun."
Umbrafer (11:55:08 PM): Sorry, I think we've been using "the hole" for different things.
Thematrian1 (11:55:15 PM): ...
Umbrafer (11:55:23 PM): I was referring to the path down from the monitoring station to the tunnel.
Thematrian1 (11:55:42 PM): So they didn't necessarily come down the hole we made in the forest floor?
MilesMk1 (11:55:45 PM): I'm pretty sure we meant the opening we made to get in here.
Umbrafer (11:55:48 PM): (Based on the fact that the two guards in the breakroom called it that last time)
Umbrafer (11:56:18 PM): Yeah, sorry. They're in the tunnel inside, the hole you made is still covered over as you left it, and MacLeod is in the tunnel past that point.
MilesMk1 (11:56:27 PM): (Argh...)
Umbrafer (11:56:30 PM): <--should have picked up on that one sooner.
MilesMk1 (11:56:37 PM): (So they could be security?)
Umbrafer (11:56:49 PM): (Entirely possible)
MilesMk1 (11:56:51 PM): (Well, it's late...)
Thematrian1 (11:56:54 PM): (Whatever, it's too late now)
MilesMk1 (11:57:09 PM): #Macleod, how do you know they're not fucking security guards?!#
CirclMastr (11:57:58 PM): #I know one is an Immortal.# (And I said "Wait!" a while back...)
Umbrafer (11:58:26 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 4 4 2 2 4 5 3
Thematrian1 (11:58:35 PM): Gem heads to the covered-over hole in the forest floor and tries to get into the Forest domain.
Umbrafer (11:58:53 PM): The other two turn.
Umbrafer (11:58:56 PM): "The hell?"
Umbrafer (11:59:01 PM): "How'd you get in here?"
CirclMastr (11:59:20 PM): "I just want to talk to your friend."
Umbrafer (11:59:36 PM): Roll Stealth if you're going to try to not be seen by the two people who just turned around. Hiding behind Glitch is viable, if difficult.
MilesMk1 (12:00:06 AM): Ah. So they're in LOS of our entryway.
Umbrafer (12:00:09 AM): Person 2: "Kid, do you know where you are?"
Thematrian1 (12:00:12 AM): Directed at me? 'cause I'm staying far away from this.
Thematrian1 (12:00:23 AM): If I can't get to the hole I made, I just stay out of sight.
Umbrafer (12:00:29 AM): (Ok)
CirclMastr (12:00:37 AM): "I just want to talk."
Umbrafer (12:01:29 AM): I?: "Not here."
Umbrafer (12:01:39 AM): P2: "You know this kid?"
CirclMastr (12:01:59 AM): (I? is the ork?)
Umbrafer (12:02:04 AM): (Yep)
CirclMastr (12:02:12 AM): "Tell me when and where."
MilesMk1 (12:02:33 AM): Do they look like security personnel to me?
Umbrafer (12:02:42 AM): Remarkably like.
Umbrafer (12:02:57 AM): The Ork's dress is a little casual for it
CirclMastr (12:03:53 AM): Is he going to say when and where?
Umbrafer (12:04:00 AM): "Noon. Down near the end of the field, by the power line."
CirclMastr (12:04:27 AM): "Noon, end of the field, power line."
Umbrafer (12:05:05 AM): (Your guess is that he means one of the towers supporting the high-voltage lines through the area)
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

CirclMastr (12:06:23 AM): (J, can you go beat Seiler's router upside the head after the session?)
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

CirclMastr (12:06:57 AM): ::waits for anything more::
Umbrafer (12:08:05 AM): (I can try)
Umbrafer (12:08:20 AM): He stands silent. The other two are at this point changing between staring at you and staring at him.
CirclMastr (12:08:41 AM): "I'll be waiting." ::starts backing toward the exit hole::
CirclMastr (12:09:02 AM): #If you're not out yet, go.#
MilesMk1 (12:09:14 AM): (There is no exit hole. We didn't open it, and we can't with a bunch of security guards watching us.)
MilesMk1 (12:09:41 AM): (I don't think we want to get shot on top of the already blown run.)
CirclMastr (12:09:43 AM): (Doh. Back around a corner then, wait for them to keep going, make the hole.)
Umbrafer (12:09:55 AM): He starts walking away. One of the others finds his voice.
Umbrafer (12:10:00 AM): "C'mon, kid, let's get you out of here."
Thematrian1 (12:10:02 AM): (The run isn't blown, unless something really exciting happened while I was gone)
CirclMastr (12:10:24 AM): (It isn't blown AFAIK. Glitch is just being paranoid.)
Thematrian1 (12:10:29 AM): (if I heard that) #Go ahead and go with them, if you can stand it. It'll get them out of our way.#
CirclMastr (12:10:44 AM): ::nods and lets go of the sword hilt, and walks toward them::
CirclMastr (12:10:48 AM): #Got it.#
MilesMk1 (12:11:11 AM): #All because you and one of them have something in common? Fuck it, I don't care anymore...#
Thematrian1 (12:11:50 AM): #It has its own logic. Just go with it.#
Umbrafer (12:11:55 AM): They occasionally glance at the Ork as if for reassurance that they're doing the right thing, but none comes.
MilesMk1 (12:11:57 AM): I wait for them to get clear of here, then unseal the hole, let Gem go through, put some cement around the edges of the panel, fit it into place from the other side, and leave.
CirclMastr (12:12:12 AM): ::goes with them, assuming they don't attack::
Thematrian1 (12:12:26 AM): Unsealing the hole involves an act of magic. Can I get into Forest domain from the hole?
Umbrafer (12:12:31 AM): They don't. They lead you along.
CirclMastr (12:12:49 AM): ::goes quietly and peaceably::
Umbrafer (12:13:08 AM): You come to a … from the hole? that's a question… how exactly did you seal it off again?
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (12:13:38 AM): You come to a place where the tunnel has standing water on the floor, more occasionally dripping from a crack in the room.
Umbrafer (12:13:43 AM): Er, roof.
MilesMk1 (12:13:50 AM): Well, I was talking about the panel in the wall, and Seiler about the actual hole dug in the ground, which IIRC she had a spirit cover with dirt.
MilesMk1 (12:14:02 AM): Or possibly just camouflage, I don't remember.
Umbrafer (12:14:05 AM): Yeah, the panel is easy.
Umbrafer (12:14:13 AM): I was talking to Gem on that one.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

MilesMk1 (12:16:04 AM): Did Gem actually have a spirit seal the hole we dug back up, or just cover and camouflage it?
Thematrian1 (12:16:25 AM): If I can't get into Forest right away, I burrow into the earth a bit.
Thematrian1 (12:16:29 AM): Yes, she did.
Thematrian1 (12:16:36 AM): I had a leftover service from the spirit that made the hole
Umbrafer (12:16:48 AM): A tangle of brush, dirt, and miscellany covers the hole.
MilesMk1 (12:16:50 AM): Ah, ok.
Umbrafer (12:17:04 AM): You burrow in a bit and enter the forest domain.
Thematrian1 (12:17:05 AM): Forest spirit, force 4:
Thematrian1 (12:17:08 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 2 3 3
Thematrian1 (12:17:10 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 4 1 2 6 6 6 2 1 4
Thematrian1 (12:17:12 AM): no drain. again
Thematrian1 (12:17:15 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 5 6 2 2 4
Thematrian1 (12:17:17 AM): Thematrian1 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 6 6 3 5 2 1 2 6 2
Thematrian1 (12:17:48 AM): 2 services. "Spirit of branch and vine, open a path to the surface."
Umbrafer (12:18:08 AM): What look to be giant roots start growing through the soil.
Umbrafer (12:18:49 AM): Meanwhile, MacLeod is taken to a little side room, brought up a ladder and out a manhole cover, and walked to the edge of a small road.
Umbrafer (12:18:59 AM): "Can you get home from he—"
Umbrafer (12:19:08 AM): I?: "Leave him."
Umbrafer (12:19:25 AM): P1: "Just leave him here?"
Umbrafer (12:19:34 AM): I?: "Yes."
Umbrafer (12:19:53 AM): P1: "This is completely against regulations…" they wander away.
CirclMastr (12:20:32 AM): ::waits to see if the ork says anything else::
MilesMk1 (12:20:47 AM): (There's a road leading to a manhole. But we managed to find the way in involving vicious fauna, digging, ad hoc masonry... Don't you feel proud? :p)
Umbrafer (12:20:57 AM): He doesn't. He never looked directly at you the entire time.
Thematrian1 (12:20:59 AM): (No. No I do not ::weep:: )
CirclMastr (12:21:16 AM): "I'll be waiting." ::heads to the power line to waitn::
MilesMk1 (12:21:17 AM): (Of course, hopefully the mahole was probably completely in the open and watched. I pray.)
CirclMastr (12:21:19 AM): *wait
Umbrafer (12:21:24 AM): (There's a bit more security than that, but MacLeod was ushered through it)
MilesMk1 (12:21:57 AM): #MacLeod?#
CirclMastr (12:22:11 AM): #Yeah?#
MilesMk1 (12:22:18 AM): #We're getting out of here. Where the hell are you?#
Thematrian1 (12:22:38 AM): I climb out of the hole. Once Glitch is also out, I command the spirit to fill in the hole again.
CirclMastr (12:23:01 AM): #Waiting. Meeting him at noon. Go on back without me, no sense risking driving the van back at midday.#
Umbrafer (12:23:11 AM): The spirit does so with vigor.
MilesMk1 (12:24:12 AM): #I don't think there's any risk. We drive you to the main road, and you take 10 minutes to walk up... But it's your call.#
CirclMastr (12:24:52 AM): #If I don't check in by 1, come around and check for a body.# ::tells them where the meet will be::
MilesMk1 (12:25:14 AM): *leads the way to the van, checking for hostiles and avoiding bloodkite territory*
Thematrian1 (12:25:23 AM): ::follows Glitch cautiously::
MilesMk1 (12:25:30 AM): #Um... Sure. Didn't you say you couldn't die?#
Umbrafer (12:26:12 AM): You do so.
CirclMastr (12:26:14 AM): #I may be lying there as a body, not wanting to wake up alone. Or I could be dead dead. Either way, come check.#
Thematrian1 (12:26:27 AM): #We will#
CirclMastr (12:27:17 AM): ::waits::
Umbrafer (12:27:47 AM): And that's a wrap for the night. I just want to mention some things before we break:
Umbrafer (12:28:26 AM): (Give me a second).
Umbrafer (12:29:43 AM): I'd mentioned to Seiler at least, and possibly all of you, that I'd made an error in planning this run.
CirclMastr (12:29:58 AM): I don't remember such an announcement.
Umbrafer (12:30:26 AM): Specifically, I'd made the most direct route based on something that hasn't happened much this campaign, and somehow forgot to realize that this means it probably wouldn't be among the first things thought of
Thematrian1 (12:30:59 AM): (I think he means 'us doing scouting via rigger', but I'm not sure)
CirclMastr (12:31:19 AM): (Or 'us getting building plans via Matrix')
CirclMastr (12:31:34 AM): (Or any number of other things.)
Umbrafer (12:31:41 AM): In this case, while there were other paths left (like the one you did find, and a few others), the original intention was that you'd do some contact legwork and possibly get the lowdown on some of these manhole locations
Umbrafer (12:31:47 AM): (The ones that weren't decomissioned, at least)
Thematrian1 (12:32:01 AM): (We got the pipe locations via the matrix, it worked out)
MilesMk1 (12:32:05 AM): (I think he means us kidnapping the family of one of the guards, then disguising one of us as the guard, and shooting the guard accidentally when one of us had a mental episode...)
Umbrafer (12:32:12 AM): (Yeah, that one)
Umbrafer (12:32:20 AM): (That was another of the options)
Thematrian1 (12:32:23 AM): (Yeah, that was a great plan)
Thematrian1 (12:32:32 AM): (But hey, all new characters)
Umbrafer (12:33:19 AM): (For the uninitiated, that was the end of the previous set of characters)
Umbrafer (12:33:28 AM): (Not their death, but their retirement)
MilesMk1 (12:33:46 AM): (For the record, none of us playing right now were playing the character with the mental difficulties. I think.)
CirclMastr (12:33:52 AM): Anyway, other things?
Thematrian1 (12:33:55 AM): (Nope, no one)
Umbrafer (12:34:06 AM): Anyway. Any questions.comments from anyone, especially the possible recruit?
Umbrafer (12:34:11 AM): */
CirclMastr (12:34:23 AM): I have one.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

CirclMastr (12:34:44 AM): Do I have to wait until next Thursday to play out the meet with the ork, or can I pester you before then?
Umbrafer (12:35:29 AM): I'm going to say that yes, you do have to wait until Thursday, but we can start earlier than the rest of the group to deal with that.
Thematrian1 is not online, and therefore cannot chat.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 declined your invitation to chat.

CirclMastr (12:36:03 AM): Sadness.
MilesMk1 (12:36:56 AM): How much would it cost for me to get you a new wireless network hub, or whatever? :p
Thematrian1 (12:37:17 AM): This is purely wired, and not something I can affect directly.
MilesMk1 (12:37:28 AM): Damn it.
MilesMk1 (12:37:46 AM): I'll have to work on positibe thinking, then.
MilesMk1 (12:37:49 AM): positive
Thematrian1 (12:38:19 AM): nah, your powers only work on wireless connections
Thematrian1 (12:38:24 AM): it would seem
Umbrafer (12:38:40 AM): Wait, so the issue isn't your client?
Thematrian1 (12:39:07 AM): I'd assume not. I'll just let the poor laptop cool for a night, and it'll be fine again
Umbrafer (12:39:14 AM): Ah
CirclMastr (12:39:48 AM): Anything else we should know?
Umbrafer (12:40:22 AM): That was the big thing. I'd mentioned that I was going to bring it up before, so I wanted to make sure to.
Umbrafer (12:40:34 AM): Just one of those areas where I made an error. Hopefully it won't happen again.
MilesMk1 (12:40:48 AM): From now on, we do something simple, like assasination.
Umbrafer (12:40:53 AM): We appear to have bored our guest to death, though.
Thematrian1 (12:41:16 AM): heh. I'm all ready to sleep, so I'll see you all on Tuesday.
MilesMk1 (12:41:25 AM): See you. Have a good one.
Thematrian1 (12:41:26 AM): Where you can steal from some more small businesses ;-)
MilesMk1 (12:41:44 AM): I thought we were stealing from a franchise?
Umbrafer (12:41:54 AM): Yes!
Thematrian1 (12:41:56 AM): oh, well, that's all right then
CirclMastr (12:41:58 AM): *Cries*
Umbrafer (12:42:02 AM): We are stealing from two soulless corporations.
Thematrian1 (12:42:11 AM): to negate some of that bad karma, right
MilesMk1 (12:42:22 AM): Hey, that was probably the nicest robbery that guy could ever expect to experience.
Umbrafer (12:42:32 AM): If we'd left his knife, I'd agree.
MilesMk1 (12:42:46 AM): I didn't know the ork well enough to yell at him and make him leave it.
Thematrian1 (12:42:49 AM): Well, technically you didn't take the knife, your orks did.
Thematrian1 (12:42:55 AM): and they weren't your orks anyway, so...
Umbrafer (12:43:17 AM): The knife got taken in circumstances under which I can feel responsible for it.
Umbrafer (12:43:25 AM): Alex not so much, I suppose.
MilesMk1 (12:43:50 AM): If it turned out he owned the place, I was actually going to pay him. :p
Thematrian1 (12:44:08 AM): Heh. I wonder what the orks would have said about that?
MilesMk1 (12:44:44 AM): Meh. Amateurs...
Umbrafer (12:44:48 AM): I don't know. When the orks can bring the kind of firepower and effectiveness to bear that we can, we'll probably start caring.
Umbrafer (12:45:02 AM): (Watch, they're secretly both Initiate Grade 20 adepts)
Thematrian1 (12:45:08 AM): ...but at present you've no evidence, right.
Thematrian1 (12:45:18 AM): Now now, I've never once pulled a stunt like that
MilesMk1 (12:45:31 AM): Except for Rock, you mean.
Umbrafer (12:45:37 AM): Hehehe
Thematrian1 (12:45:42 AM): The one Initiate you've faced got his face burned off :-/
Umbrafer (12:45:50 AM): Nah, not suspecting you of anything. Just second-guess… ah, heh
Thematrian1 (12:45:52 AM): Rock is a very special boy
MilesMk1 (12:45:54 AM): Can you be more specific? :P
Thematrian1 (12:45:58 AM): haha
Thematrian1 (12:46:05 AM): and you've never 'faced' him
Umbrafer (12:46:22 AM): Just second-guessing my own power-to-professionalism correlation.
MilesMk1 (12:46:27 AM): (I mean about the initiate, we burn the faces off of lots of people. ;))
Umbrafer (12:46:33 AM): (Indeed.)
MilesMk1 (12:46:49 AM): (Though I guess it was the last guy, probably.)
Umbrafer (12:46:51 AM): (I wonder, can whatever-the-hell Bad Teeth was initiate?)
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (12:47:19 AM): Mhmmm... Well, that's it, I guess. I don't think he'll try to log back on now.
MilesMk1 (12:47:38 AM): I'll see you guys Tuesday. (or Thursday)
CirclMastr (12:47:43 AM): I cry for actual involvement.
MilesMk1 (12:48:03 AM): I just wish someone would wake ShadowDragon so he doesn't come to with a keyboard imprint on his face. ;)
Umbrafer (12:48:35 AM): To be fair, some skill diversification might help
Umbrafer (12:48:42 AM): "Cut stuff" is a bit narrow a skillset.
MilesMk1 (12:48:52 AM): So, are you actually ever going to be free on Tuesdays, or is this job permanent?
CirclMastr (12:49:33 AM): I may, may, be able to weedle a shift change based on the upcoming fall semester.
CirclMastr (12:50:00 AM): "I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays now, can I change my Tuesday shift to Monday?"
CirclMastr (12:50:15 AM): Except I am enrolled in two classes so far and both are online.
Umbrafer (12:50:28 AM): Well, then your classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Umbrafer (12:50:35 AM): Just because they're all other days as well doesn't change that.
CirclMastr (12:51:08 AM): Except right now my classes are NO days. And I have an orientation on a Wednesday.
CirclMastr (12:51:31 AM): And knowing my luck
MilesMk1 (12:51:37 AM): Well, here's hoping...
Umbrafer (12:51:41 AM): And a raccoon just walked into the room.
Umbrafer (12:51:47 AM): Give me a minute.
CirclMastr (12:51:49 AM): If I ask for a shift change tomorrow, I'll have to register for a class that's actually on Monday.
MilesMk1 (12:51:53 AM): An actual raccoon?
Umbrafer (12:51:58 AM): Yes.
CirclMastr (12:52:02 AM): ....
Umbrafer (12:52:05 AM): Large one, too.
CirclMastr (12:52:10 AM): Where are you, Alabama?
MilesMk1 (12:52:24 AM): Claws, teeth, rabies, that sort of thing?
Umbrafer (12:53:07 AM): Yep. Massachusetts.
MilesMk1 (12:53:13 AM): ...
Umbrafer (12:53:23 AM): He walked back out pretty quickly when I turned around and looked at him
MilesMk1 (12:53:30 AM): I thought the goats messing with the satellite dish was weird.
Umbrafer (12:53:32 AM): I'm going to make sure he finds the door.
MilesMk1 (12:53:49 AM): Ok... Goodnight, then. ;)
MilesMk1 (12:53:52 AM): *waves*
CirclMastr (12:54:32 AM): Night
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (12:56:06 AM): *Waves*
