Thematrian1 (8:46:51 PM): yep
MilesMk1 (8:47:36 PM): Unless there are objections from anyone from Sigrun's crew, I motion the new guy inside, so we're not exposed, but only so far as the garage.
delioch (8:47:49 PM): ( do they have any form of security around- other than people?)
MilesMk1 (8:48:00 PM): "Who did you say sent you here? And what do you want?"
Thematrian1 (8:48:05 PM): No objections
delioch (8:48:09 PM): *he follows*
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (8:48:28 PM): Doh.
delioch (8:48:59 PM): "i don't think i did say who sent me.. and what i want is not to important at the moment"
Umbrafer (8:49:16 PM): (See, now that isn't a comforting response.)
Dragcrell (8:49:25 PM): eh he'll be back *loads a 30-30 winchester* he KNOWS that I have been iching for a game)

delioch (8:51:11 PM): "anibell"
Dragcrell (8:52:14 PM): *Stops and truns around and looks at the Elf* "Anibell sent you?"
Umbrafer (8:52:34 PM): #Oh man.#
delioch (8:52:48 PM): "ya" ,smiles,"so whats been goping on here, what was that giant bug"?
delioch (8:53:03 PM): (going)

Umbrafer (8:53:57 PM): #Why can't anything just be simple?#
delioch (8:54:19 PM): (is who i'm looking for in view?)
Dragcrell (8:54:29 PM): *snorts* "Bugs arrre everrry wherrre. Did she send a message?" *looks the elf over even closer*
MilesMk1 (8:54:34 PM): "Spirit of some kind. Come in all kinds of sizes. What is this about?"

Dragcrell (8:56:26 PM): * 7' tall and is clothed in a hooded cloak that covers nearly her entire body her face covered by a face mask the cloak and mask look as if they have had better days*
Thematrian1 (8:56:52 PM): (Thanks)
delioch (8:57:00 PM): " but that doesn't answer my question"
Dragcrell (8:57:18 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 4 4 4 4 5
delioch (8:57:23 PM): "is it a side effect oh the new VATAS"
delioch (8:57:35 PM): (of)
Dragcrell (8:57:50 PM): "No therrre some kind of spirrret."
delioch (8:58:31 PM): (sorry, its VITAS)
MilesMk1 (8:59:05 PM): "There's no VITAS... but that's enough dancing around. Unless you have some business with us, or, as you seemed to imply, a way through the barricades, this is a waste of our time."
delioch (8:59:11 PM): "ok, and as for a message...that depends on whos asking"
Umbrafer (8:59:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 2 4 6
Umbrafer (8:59:28 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
delioch (8:59:36 PM): *removes respirator*
Dragcrell (9:00:09 PM): "If you arrre frrrom Anibell who did she send you herrre to find?"
delioch (9:00:51 PM): *looking at the dwarf*" looks at the dwarf, if its not VITAS then what happened here"/
delioch (9:01:18 PM): *holds up a forefingure towards the masked person for a moment*
delioch (9:01:34 PM): *guesturing to wait a sec*
Umbrafer (9:01:56 PM): Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 2 5 4 5 5
MilesMk1 (9:02:46 PM): "The bugs appeared out of nowhere. Like I said, they're some kind of spirit. Then, all the utilities got cut, one by one, and the national guard moved in to cordon the place. There, now you know as much as anyone here."
MilesMk1 (9:03:48 PM): "Now, I think it's really my turn to hear some answers."
delioch (9:03:51 PM): "wiz", (stop recording) looking back to the masked person"i'm looking for a .....shadowcat"
delioch (9:05:33 PM): :-D
MilesMk1 (9:06:15 PM): "Well, you found her, unless there's more than one. And?" *looks at the Elf, looks at SC in a slightly exasperated fashion*
MilesMk1 (9:06:38 PM): #How much damage did that fucking spirit do?#
Dragcrell (9:06:38 PM): *purrrs roughly* "What is the message?"
delioch (9:06:41 PM): "but shadowcat is not short"
delioch (9:07:02 PM): "are you shadowcat?"
delioch (9:07:16 PM): *pointing towards masked person*
MilesMk1 (9:07:37 PM): *looks heavenward*
Dragcrell (9:07:54 PM): "Yes."
Umbrafer (9:08:15 PM): #Too much. I'm looking at a long repair.#
delioch (9:08:15 PM): "you see i have to be sure, no offense
delioch (9:08:54 PM): "i don't want to hand off in the worg direction"
Dragcrell (9:09:50 PM): *Steps to the stranger and looks down at him* "What is the message from Anibell?" *lets out a low rumbling growl*
delioch (9:10:35 PM): "sorry, i know what she looks like, and its not made of cloak and mask"
delioch (9:10:50 PM): "anyone could be under that"
delioch (9:11:11 PM): " i must look out for my cliants interest"
Dragcrell (9:13:38 PM): "Alex is therrre a place in this mess wherrre we can have some prrrivecy?"
Umbrafer (9:14:42 PM): #There's probably an empty bathroom you could send them to. That or the maintenance closets.#
delioch (9:14:44 PM): *inquisitive look*
Thematrian1 (9:16:42 PM): Tense silence. Miscellaneous garage rats are gathering to watch the show
MilesMk1 (9:16:45 PM): "Just don't expect comfort..." *leads them over to the closet where we kept the prisoners*
Dragcrell (9:16:46 PM): "you think I go arrrould like this becuse its comftable?" *snorts*
delioch (9:17:14 PM): *shrug as he follows*
Dragcrell (9:17:22 PM): *follows Blake then opens the door and waits in side*
Thematrian1 (9:17:24 PM): The prisoners were kept on the floor in a former office, but there's a janitorial closet on the way
MilesMk1 (9:17:36 PM): Oh. Ok, good enough.
delioch (9:17:49 PM): *i go in*
Umbrafer (9:18:02 PM): The closet or the office?
MilesMk1 (9:18:06 PM): Closet.
Dragcrell (9:18:44 PM): (mmmm closet should be a light most do as they are use to ready cleaning salushions and such as well)
Thematrian1 (9:18:52 PM): The group parades into a janitorial closet. Just SC and SF, or is Blake also going along?
MilesMk1 (9:19:07 PM): *turns to SC* "Come find me when this is over, and don't let him wander around alone."
delioch (9:19:22 PM): ( this feels like a teen party game)
delioch (9:19:36 PM): *i smile*
MilesMk1 (9:20:06 PM): "...I need to find if someone died of gunshot wounds." *walks off*
MilesMk1 (9:20:26 PM): *goes to find Jeremy*
delioch (9:20:30 PM): "so...."
delioch (9:20:36 PM): ?
Dragcrell (9:21:24 PM): "I wont I'm shourrre Anibell well not mind if I have to hurrrt him if it is called forrr." *shuts the door and removes the hood and face mask reveling the face of a rather anoid Bengal Tigeress staring at the stranger*
Thematrian1 (9:21:55 PM): Blake: your various J-named contacts are still gathered together in a single room. Jerome is unconscious; Jeremy is carefully suturing his chest closed.
Dragcrell (9:22:07 PM): "Now what is the message I've had a rrrealy lousey time herrre."
delioch (9:22:07 PM): " you know this reminds me of a book i read once, but thats not here or there"
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

delioch (9:22:48 PM): "anyway, i just to come in and get you out. if you have not completed what you have done here then i am to help"
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

delioch (9:24:37 PM): :-D
Dragcrell (9:24:42 PM): "I found it but it then trrryed to blow me up and lost trrrack of it afterrr that." *replaces the hood and face mask*
MilesMk1 (9:24:59 PM): "How's he doing?"
MilesMk1 (9:25:07 PM): "And, did that woman make it?"
MilesMk1 (9:25:20 PM): "Man, this is starting to feel like a field hospital in a war zone... Sorry.
MilesMk1 (9:25:22 PM): "
Thematrian1 (9:25:38 PM): "Funny, I was just thinking - that's pretty much what it is."
Thematrian1 (9:25:56 PM): "Weird that people like you would be the nucleus for law, order, and society, huh?"
delioch (9:25:58 PM): "ummm, owiz. so when do we go for another try? and do we bring missils this time?"
MilesMk1 (9:26:26 PM): *mock indignant* "Hey, I resent that."
Dragcrell (9:27:05 PM): *hisses* "No she wants it alive but I dout it can be trrrusted and therrre is otherrr prrroblems as well the bugs being one of them."
Thematrian1 (9:27:09 PM): He throws up his hands in equally mock surrender. "The woman's fine, she has a concussion. I sent her upstairs with Arty."
MilesMk1 (9:27:51 PM): "Ah, Arty."
delioch (9:28:03 PM): " wiz, so no big gunes.. what does it want for it to come along quitely then?"
MilesMk1 (9:28:12 PM): "And how's Jerome here? Going to make it, you think?"
MilesMk1 (9:28:58 PM): (BTW, just apropos... well, carnage, I'd like to point out my First Aid skill is now up to 5. :))
Thematrian1 (9:29:02 PM): A firm nod. "He's had a terrible few weeks, but he'll be fine. I found scar tissue on his lungs when I was digging that bullet out." His tone makes it not quite a question.
Thematrian1 (9:29:09 PM): (Noice)
delioch (9:29:50 PM): (hahaha noice)
MilesMk1 (9:30:10 PM): "On his lungs? Could it have been from the explosion?"
Thematrian1 (9:30:31 PM): He shakes his head. "Prior surgery in that area."
Dragcrell (9:30:50 PM): "Did wish to me to find a mage named Ghedon. I did and then whent to the place it asked me to see him it was trrraped."
MilesMk1 (9:31:15 PM): Question: Did he get operated for internal bleeding, back when? Could that be it?
MilesMk1 (9:31:25 PM): (in addition to the head trauma)
delioch (9:31:43 PM): "ok, so who set the trap, why and is the mage still here?"
Thematrian1 (9:31:44 PM): Potentially. You don't know what all the hospital did, but if his ribs were broken badly enough to mess with his lungs, then yeah, that'd be consistent.
delioch (9:31:51 PM): "in the city"
delioch (9:32:08 PM): *opens closet door*
Thematrian1 (9:32:51 PM): Alex: what are you up to?
MilesMk1 (9:33:08 PM): "He was busted up pretty badly when I first met him - wouldn't be surprised if his ribs had been smashed... Didn't really check myself, he looked real bad, so I let DocWagon take him in."
Umbrafer (9:33:10 PM): Organizing the various drones that need repair.
Thematrian1 (9:33:36 PM): Jeremy: "The anesthesia will keep him out for another two or three hours. After that, he'll need water, food, and quiet, more or less in that order."
Umbrafer (9:33:38 PM): Trying to create a repair schedule, keeping my current impairments in mind and also the difficulties of securing repair materials.
Thematrian1 (9:33:44 PM): got it
MilesMk1 (9:33:48 PM): "Heh... If I could get to my apartment, I could probably check on the hospital bill."
Umbrafer (9:33:52 PM): Anything I know we need that we don't have, I make a list of.
Thematrian1 (9:33:57 PM): He chuckles.
Dragcrell (9:34:00 PM): "I think it did and I think to kill me as to the mage hasn't been seen herrre for some time." *walks passed the stranger and heads to find Blake*
Thematrian1 (9:34:39 PM): Ok. Damaged and/or broken drones are 3 Stratos at M, one at S, one destroyed spider, one destroyed Kimji?
MilesMk1 (9:35:12 PM): On destroyed Strato, from the sniper?
delioch (9:35:15 PM): *follows sc*" so does the dwarf know or is he running blind on that end?"
Umbrafer (9:35:50 PM): Yep
Umbrafer (9:35:58 PM): The Strato from the sniper was, IIRC, unrecoverable.
Dragcrell (9:36:00 PM): "I need to get hold of the boss to let herrr know what happened. Some I think but agrrred to help them forrr use of therrre radio."
MilesMk1 (9:36:03 PM): "Water and food we can do, I don't know how we'll be fixed for quiet... Do you think it'll be possible to move him, in a pinch?"
Thematrian1 (9:36:07 PM): Yeah.
Umbrafer (9:36:10 PM): Well
Umbrafer (9:36:15 PM): We recovered it. Unsalvageable.
Umbrafer (9:36:29 PM): Alex had a ceremony in which she burned it the other day.
MilesMk1 (9:36:35 PM): Ah.
Thematrian1 (9:36:39 PM): Aww.
delioch (9:36:45 PM): "what they doing?"
Umbrafer (9:36:48 PM): It's now sitting in a somewhat charred but mostly still-intact (to the degree that it had been before) about a block away.
Umbrafer (9:36:55 PM): *heap
Thematrian1 (9:37:09 PM): "Now, it'd be better if you didn't. In two or three days, it shouldn't be a problem."
MilesMk1 (9:37:28 PM): "Got it."
Dragcrell (9:37:53 PM): "Rrrounding up frrreinds and trrrying to figurrre out if its betterrr to stay orrr leave."
Thematrian1 (9:38:24 PM): Jeremy picks out two of the lingering orks by eye. "You and you, go put a stretcher together." They wordlessly depart.
delioch (9:38:26 PM): "oh, wow i would of figured that would take no time at all"
MilesMk1 (9:38:40 PM): "Hopefully we'll have that long... Shit, I still need to find Buck... You ever met the fat bastard?" *without malice*
Thematrian1 (9:39:00 PM): "Don't think so."
MilesMk1 (9:39:09 PM): "Huh... Got yourself some orderlies, there."
MilesMk1 (9:39:35 PM): "Ah. Well, hopefully, he's where I left him."
Thematrian1 (9:39:39 PM): "Volunteers. Not a lot of call for street muscle right now."
Dragcrell (9:39:40 PM): "The Dwarrrf has numerrras ppl I belive." *keeps moveing to find Blake or Alex which ever she finds first*
Thematrian1 (9:39:52 PM): Hm.
Thematrian1 (9:39:54 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
Thematrian1 (9:39:57 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 2-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (9:40:25 PM): You wander the garage, and find Alex in one of the smaller machine rooms with a bunch of mysterious drone bits spread out on several tables.
delioch (9:40:33 PM): still check out the lay of the land," how much fire power is here, collectively?"
Dragcrell (9:41:49 PM): *shurges* "I haven't looked but stay close as some of them might shoot you. Alex?" *stops in the door way*
delioch (9:42:24 PM): "who me, i'm hurmless"
Dragcrell (9:43:26 PM): *Turns to the stranger* "Huh rrright."
Umbrafer (9:43:43 PM): *Doesn't look up* "Yeah?"
delioch (9:44:01 PM): *cocky grin*
Umbrafer (9:44:45 PM): *Fiddle fiddle* *Sort, note*
delioch (9:44:46 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 3 3 1
Dragcrell (9:44:48 PM): "he's frrrom my boss but I would still like to get hold of herrr."
delioch (9:45:38 PM): "well, i don't think your going to get her from here cause its all locked down around here."
Dragcrell (9:46:51 PM): *looks at the Elf* "How do you know that and what is yourrr name?"
delioch (9:47:24 PM): *checks cell for signal(dead or no)*
Thematrian1 (9:47:27 PM): The orderlies return with a tarp carefully wound around a pair of long metal beams.
Umbrafer (9:47:29 PM): *Listens with interest if audible, otherwise ignores until someone bothers her again*
Thematrian1 (9:47:32 PM): No Signal.
Thematrian1 (9:47:38 PM): (Yes, it's audible)
delioch (9:47:44 PM): " i'm shadowfire..."
MilesMk1 (9:48:04 PM): (Shadowcat and shadowfire...)
delioch (9:48:21 PM): (am i still getting readings from the ucas radio?)
Dragcrell (9:48:47 PM): *nods* "What do you think Alex about the rrradio?"
delioch (9:48:47 PM): (not on perpose, old name- old character)
Thematrian1 (9:48:49 PM): At Jeremy's gesture, they heft Jerome it. Jeremy: "Blake, would you find a place for him? I'm sure someone else will be along here shortly."
Thematrian1 (9:49:00 PM): (SF: Yes you are, just nothing from your satellite)
delioch (9:49:11 PM): (ok)
Dragcrell (9:49:19 PM): (acutly its Shadow Cat ;3 its two words
delioch (9:49:33 PM): (ok)
Umbrafer (9:49:34 PM): "What radio?"
MilesMk1 (9:49:39 PM): "Sure."
Umbrafer (9:49:49 PM): (I think I'm seeing a conspiracy)
Umbrafer (9:50:09 PM): (Essie and Essef)
Thematrian1 (9:50:22 PM): (The radio stuff hasn't been said out loud yet)
Dragcrell (9:50:24 PM): "Think you could send a message out side the city on one?"
MilesMk1 (9:50:39 PM): I guess I'll just have them take him to the sick room where I had vacated a spot.
Thematrian1 (9:50:40 PM): (Doh, nm)
MilesMk1 (9:50:55 PM): "And, thanks."
delioch (9:50:56 PM): " oh right", pulls out a gift for shadow cat," i forgot. heres a radio, thanks to the ucas"
delioch (9:51:10 PM): *cocky grin*
Thematrian1 (9:51:18 PM): mirabile dictu, it's still available. They gently-ish lay Jerome on it, and slouch away.
delioch (9:51:26 PM): "ignore the bit of blood there"
Dragcrell (9:51:44 PM): *looks it over*
Thematrian1 (9:52:09 PM): It's a radio with a few dark brown smudges.
delioch (9:52:23 PM): "i already have them monitored so i don't need it anymore"
Umbrafer (9:53:05 PM): "With enough power. No idea what they might have in place to block it—maybe big jammers around the perimeter, maybe an ARM…"
Dragcrell (9:53:45 PM): *looks at Alex head tilted to the left* "That a no then?"
delioch (9:54:01 PM): "oh, ya", looks towards the dwarf," you wouldn't know where we could find a sub?"
Thematrian1 (9:54:08 PM): The dwarf isn't actually here.
delioch (9:54:20 PM): (or who ever)
Thematrian1 (9:54:38 PM): Alex is a human female.
delioch (9:55:13 PM): (ok)
Umbrafer (9:55:38 PM): Am I aware of any submarine activity in Lake Michigan?
Thematrian1 (9:55:50 PM): hm. Roll a relevant knowledge, or Intelligence.
delioch (9:55:53 PM): "or near by"
Umbrafer (9:56:33 PM): Hm. Unless there's a prototype model or other active R&D in this city, it's going to be a default.
Umbrafer (9:56:35 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 1 5 3 3 1 2 6
delioch (9:56:36 PM): "usually the major movers of a crimal orginization have them"
Umbrafer (9:56:39 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Umbrafer (9:57:28 PM): "On the coast, sure. Here? There's one down at the Museum of Science and Industry, don't know if it's working…"
delioch (9:57:56 PM): "ok, good to know", i type into my wriest com
Thematrian1 (9:58:17 PM): Well, there isn't much; Shojo might know if the Yaks have a program like that in operation. You do remember that someone got caught smuggling BTLs with one, but KE dealt witht that months ago.
Dragcrell (9:58:19 PM): *looks at the Elf* "Why do you need a Sub forrr?"
Umbrafer (9:58:40 PM): "You need a full-sized sub or will a minisub do?"
Umbrafer (9:59:06 PM): Minisubs actually make sense to be there, and as such KE/the military are probably watching the waters…
delioch (9:59:11 PM): "just in case. its my job to know things that may be need for later"
Umbrafer (9:59:18 PM): Actually, that's something we should do. Go to the shoreline and see what we can see.
Umbrafer (9:59:21 PM): What/who.
MilesMk1 (9:59:22 PM): *makes sure Jerome is comfortable, and goes off to see what the situation is like at the door / who's in charge*
delioch (9:59:29 PM): "depend on whos all riding"
delioch (10:00:14 PM): *makes a few more notes*
MilesMk1 (10:00:19 PM): (I've got... 4? 4 people tagging along.)
Thematrian1 (10:00:31 PM): (4?)
Umbrafer (10:00:43 PM): (We'd probably want a small fleet of minisubs)
MilesMk1 (10:00:44 PM): (Well, I hope to. Buck isn't here yet.)
Thematrian1 (10:00:49 PM): (Ah, yes)
Dragcrell (10:01:02 PM): *looks around for a place to put the radio so its out of the way grumbling under her breath*
Thematrian1 (10:01:22 PM): You're back at the door. Accident is overseeing an effort to block the now-useless garage door with partially disassembled vehicles.
delioch (10:01:42 PM): " so let me ask you a question", turns recorder on," how well armed is your group here to defeind yourselves from these spirit bugs?"
Umbrafer (10:01:59 PM): "We do what we can."
MilesMk1 (10:02:51 PM): "Shit. I was thinking, maybe we could back one of those rigs we grabbed so that it blocked the entrance?"
MilesMk1 (10:03:18 PM): "Oh, and, sorry about the door."
Thematrian1 (10:03:22 PM): Accident studies you, then nods. "I agree. Can you drive?"
delioch (10:03:25 PM): "are you running low on weapons or ammo?"
Thematrian1 (10:03:40 PM): In response to the second: "Are you planning to retaliate?"
Dragcrell (10:03:44 PM): *moves beside the door and up the wall a bit testing out the placement of the radio*
MilesMk1 (10:04:01 PM): "Yeah. Shouldn't be a problem, if I take it slow."
Thematrian1 (10:04:24 PM): Accident makes a vague salute-like gesture near his forehead, and nods to you.
Thematrian1 (10:04:40 PM): SC walks up the wall, putting the radio in various parts of her cloak, trying to make sure that it remains stable.
MilesMk1 (10:04:54 PM): "Haven't talked to Alex about it yet, what with all... *waves vaguely about*"
Umbrafer (10:05:01 PM): *Stops, turns, looks right at SF* "Why?"
delioch (10:05:26 PM): "i just may know where and how to get more is all"
Umbrafer (10:05:53 PM): "We're always interested in maintaining a healthy marginal stockpile."
Umbrafer (10:05:56 PM): *Resumes work*
MilesMk1 (10:06:05 PM): "I'd like to, but it might not be practical. Still, you guys live here, so perhaps we'll need to... Why, were your people thinking about it?"
delioch (10:06:28 PM): "and food stuff, how are you doing on that?"
Thematrian1 (10:07:15 PM): Accident: "I find this..." his wave takes in all the carnage of the recent attack, "offensive."
Umbrafer (10:07:20 PM): "Everyone's eating."
Dragcrell (10:07:25 PM): *laughs gruffly* "they have some of that Soy crrrud they like eatting smells like plastic to me."
delioch (10:07:49 PM): "but do you have enough to late out the barricades the ucas have put up?"
delioch (10:08:11 PM): *makes face about soy*
Umbrafer (10:08:25 PM): "I have no idea. The barricades could come down tomorrow. They could come down months from now. They could be in place while the army gears up to drop a nuke on our heads."
delioch (10:08:28 PM): (late-last)
MilesMk1 (10:08:31 PM): (does he seem to mean the trouble we brought with us, or just the mindless violence? in other words, does he seem to be blaming us?)
Thematrian1 (10:09:12 PM): (Hm. Accident is singularly hard to read. Roll Charisma, Interrogation, Negotiation, or Etiquette)
MilesMk1 (10:09:34 PM): (Which is the easiest default?)
delioch (10:09:45 PM): "well, from what it looked like, itw going to be a good while. i would also like to point out that they have not told anyone about whats happening here. complete black out"
MilesMk1 (10:09:51 PM): Aw, screw it: Charisma.
MilesMk1 (10:09:54 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 2 1 5 5 2
Thematrian1 (10:10:24 PM): You don't think he's mad at you.
MilesMk1 (10:10:30 PM): Mhmm...
Umbrafer (10:10:31 PM): "They've spread some stories, I hear."
Dragcrell (10:10:31 PM): "Thats neverrr good."
delioch (10:11:19 PM): i laugh,"the world wishs-they have said nothing, while the rest of us worry aboutVITAS"
MilesMk1 (10:11:21 PM): "Tell me about it. It seems like I spent the last few days dealing with every idiot who thinks waving a gun around is a solution for everything."
Thematrian1 (10:11:49 PM): "We can take comfort. In a month, there won't be so many of that kind around."
Umbrafer (10:13:05 PM): "VITAS would have been less of a headache."
delioch (10:13:39 PM): *shrugs*"so where have the bugs come from?"
MilesMk1 (10:13:53 PM): "One can hope... Though to be honest, I'd rather not be here in a month."
Thematrian1 (10:14:09 PM): "No?"
MilesMk1 (10:14:41 PM): "If we still are, we'll need to get serious about defense... There's already people out there trying to play warlord."
Umbrafer (10:15:04 PM): "Mars. How should I know? Where do spirits usually come from?"
Thematrian1 (10:15:32 PM): "Then we must play it better."
delioch (10:15:37 PM): "any mages with them bugs?"
MilesMk1 (10:15:44 PM): "I'm sure I'm not the only one... Which isn't to say I have a way out. Yet, anyway."
Umbrafer (10:15:51 PM): "Seen some humans, but they didn't seem like mages."
Thematrian1 (10:16:02 PM): One of the garage rats speaks up:
Umbrafer (10:16:08 PM): "Bugs said they were tools, too."
Thematrian1 (10:16:09 PM): (To Alex, SF, and company)
delioch (10:16:37 PM): " what do they look like or are they here?"(?)
Thematrian1 (10:16:41 PM): "There was that one guy, who came with the wasps when they took Apple?"
Dragcrell (10:16:50 PM): "Seen one place with a mage that was controling some beetles and there was some odd coccons there as well. I'll be be back stay out of trouble." *heads out side*
Thematrian1 (10:16:57 PM): "I dunno, he was just there."
Umbrafer (10:17:26 PM): "Yeah… you mentioned him, or someone did. Did you get a good look at him?"
Thematrian1 (10:17:28 PM): Accident: "For now, we protect what we have."
delioch (10:17:43 PM): "do your rats always talk?"
Thematrian1 (10:18:30 PM): (SF: before this goes any further, "garage rat" is a slang term for cheap muscular metahumans who hang around an illicit garage. It does not refer to four-legged vermin of any sort)
MilesMk1 (10:18:34 PM): (Garage rats = one of the local people. :))
delioch (10:18:48 PM): (sorry, didn't know)
Umbrafer (10:19:06 PM): (Yeah, that was headed for a busted head right there ;) )
Thematrian1 (10:19:17 PM): Blake: SC passes you on her way out the door
MilesMk1 (10:19:19 PM): (Heh... Yeah, we hadn't managed to get the rats trained to carry stretchers yet.)
MilesMk1 (10:19:40 PM): "Where to? And where's the guy? Someone keeping an eye on him?"
delioch (10:20:26 PM): "so weird people, insects, and cocoons..wiz, this is going to be a fun trip"
Dragcrell (10:20:44 PM): *stops momtarly* "hes with Alex and to get a change of cloths." *contunes out the door*
MilesMk1 (10:20:58 PM): *to Accident, quietly* "Weren't you guys thinking about taking the little weird bald kid up on his offer?"
delioch (10:21:28 PM): "so is there anyone here who may know more?"
Thematrian1 (10:22:04 PM): Accident, trying his best to speak quietly: "We should speak in private, about that."
Thematrian1 (10:22:16 PM): (The best he can achieve is a sort of 'rumble of distant thunder' effect)
Umbrafer (10:22:20 PM): "No clue. I think we've seen the most of the outside, but someone who sees Magespace might help more."
delioch (10:22:40 PM): "true''
MilesMk1 (10:22:41 PM): "All right... Now?" *makes a hesitant 'lead the way' gesture*
Thematrian1 (10:23:12 PM): He nods. Then, more loudly: "Show me, then."
Thematrian1 (10:24:03 PM): He strides out the door and heads for the ruined truck
MilesMk1 (10:24:25 PM): "...I was thinking, in the long term, maybe we could even weld something to the side of it, make it cover the doorway better. Maybe take some of the paneling off of this thing."
MilesMk1 (10:24:28 PM): *follows*
delioch (10:24:38 PM): "alright, so let me think here." stops recording." i have some data that may be helpful, do you have a place for me to bring it up with?"
delioch (10:24:57 PM): "a moitor will do"
delioch (10:25:10 PM): (monitor)
Umbrafer (10:25:17 PM): "How many people need to see it at once?"
delioch (10:25:58 PM): *shrugs* "depends on who wants to go get stuff to help kill bugs"
Thematrian1 (10:27:15 PM): Once you reach the truck, Accident gets into the back.
Umbrafer (10:28:01 PM): "C'mon." If I know of a monitor in the garage I bring him there, otherwise to the van we go.
Dragcrell (10:28:13 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 1 2 2 2
MilesMk1 (10:28:26 PM): *climbs in after*
delioch (10:28:46 PM): *follows, with a eye everwhere*
Thematrian1 (10:31:10 PM): Alex and Shadowfire, you're in the van
Thematrian1 (10:31:31 PM): SF, this van was recently the site of a Troll Tresh concert, to judge by its condition
delioch (10:31:52 PM): (so its in good condition)
delioch (10:31:57 PM): (jk)
Umbrafer (10:32:02 PM): "What do you need displayed?"
delioch (10:32:49 PM): "just hook this up", points at wriest com,"and i can do the rest"
Umbrafer (10:33:01 PM): *Click*
delioch (10:33:45 PM): brings up the maps of the city, starts flipping through until i down town
delioch (10:34:02 PM): (i bring up)
Thematrian1 (10:34:29 PM): It's a fairly nice annotated map of the city core
delioch (10:34:33 PM): "heres your best opertunity"
Thematrian1 (10:34:34 PM): The Good Part of Town
delioch (10:35:05 PM): i zoom into the ares tower
Umbrafer (10:35:10 PM): (We need to lay down a field of dragon's teeth)
Umbrafer (10:35:28 PM): *Immediately paying more attention*
Thematrian1 (10:35:40 PM): There it is: the Ares Tower. Crown jewel of Ares' holdings in Chicago.
Umbrafer (10:35:53 PM): "What about it?"
delioch (10:36:06 PM): *cocky grin* " i see your interest."brings up floorplains
Dragcrell (10:36:14 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 5 6 1

delioch (10:36:47 PM): "from everything i know, security is a cheap peice of street meat on discount"
delioch (10:37:05 PM): "with the pimp on vacation"
Umbrafer (10:37:30 PM): "I see."
delioch (10:37:38 PM): "and no plain street meat, but sweet southern virgain"
Umbrafer (10:37:46 PM): "I get the idea."
delioch (10:38:39 PM): "ok, now all we need to do is get there walk in and take whatever you want. weapons, drones, vehicals, whatever."
delioch (10:39:12 PM): "even top of the line decks, just sitting around"
Umbrafer (10:39:20 PM): "If security's that light, why do we think there's anything left?"
delioch (10:39:37 PM): "proto type weapons and cyberware too"
delioch (10:39:51 PM): "did you think of it?"
delioch (10:40:12 PM): "or have the info i have?, which is not easy to get"
Umbrafer (10:40:13 PM): "Yes. Figured it was going to be guarded, so I was waiting for a better chance…"
Umbrafer (10:40:17 PM): "That part, no."
Thematrian1 (10:40:50 PM): I should mention, the floor plans in question are the good floor plans, with annotations describing automatic defenses on several floors
Thematrian1 (10:40:53 PM): though, sadly, not all
delioch (10:40:54 PM): (how long has it been sice the lock down?)
Thematrian1 (10:41:16 PM): ( ::counts on his fingers:: Four days, or possibly five, depending on when you consider it to have started)
delioch (10:41:52 PM): "its been only a few days so with luck noones gotten to stealing the tower"
Umbrafer (10:42:22 PM): So this means we're going to have to decide whether we want to pull this quickly, on injured personnel and only two blimps, or if we want to wait and risk someone jumping our claim… of course, we also have to decide if we want to tr
Umbrafer (10:42:40 PM): trust this guy
Umbrafer (10:42:50 PM): Though he does have some mysterious trustable quality to him… ;)
delioch (10:42:51 PM): "acourse, we will need more than me and you to get there and back"
delioch (10:43:10 PM): i chuckle at that
Umbrafer (10:43:35 PM): (New spell: Detect PC)
Thematrian1 (10:43:48 PM): (Castable even by non-mages! Extraordinary!)
delioch (10:44:04 PM): (?)
Umbrafer (10:44:27 PM): "We've got people, the question is how quickly we can move. If we're moving."
delioch (10:45:02 PM): " i also want to point out that if its was reasonable for the people here, they could hole up in there"
Dragcrell (10:45:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 6
Umbrafer (10:45:31 PM): "What do they have for facilities?"
Dragcrell (10:45:36 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 4
delioch (10:45:39 PM): "its the most sucured place in the city, once fully active, and mage protected"
Umbrafer (10:46:26 PM): *Glance over the map* Anything identifying itself as a motor pool or similar?
delioch (10:46:31 PM): (secured)
Thematrian1 (10:46:57 PM): Yep. Three basement levels are devoted to parking.
Umbrafer (10:47:22 PM): Anything that indicates maintenance facilities for such?
Dragcrell (10:47:44 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 4 5 1 5 4
Dragcrell (10:47:50 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
MilesMk1 (10:47:52 PM): (We're going to take over the Ares tower??? I leave for a minute, and...)
Thematrian1 (10:47:58 PM): yes, several such areas, along with one tantalizingly marked "Development - Vehicular"
Umbrafer (10:48:12 PM): *Wipes drool off of chin*
MilesMk1 (10:48:17 PM): (Mind you, that'd be amazing, but you know what they say about too good to be true...)
delioch (10:48:34 PM): i laugh , once i see the faces of greed
Thematrian1 (10:48:46 PM): It's just you and Alex in the van, IIRc
MilesMk1 (10:48:58 PM): (Yeah, I haven't found you people yet.)
Umbrafer (10:49:01 PM): Alex is probably managing more than one face of greed by herself.
delioch (10:49:04 PM): I know, greed comes in many faces
Thematrian1 (10:49:05 PM): Blake: you manage to find your two former prisoners
Umbrafer (10:49:28 PM): (Yay! We can even drop them from the top of it! I'm liking this plan ;) )
Umbrafer (10:49:54 PM): "I'll need to talk to some people."
Umbrafer (10:50:08 PM): "So the real question. Why are you showing us this?"
delioch (10:50:32 PM): ( i like that idea too. but then again hanging someone from a sky light into a room full of devil rats is my fav)
delioch (10:50:50 PM): " i want free stuff too"
Thematrian1 (10:51:16 PM): (Shadowrunning in five words or less)
MilesMk1 (10:51:22 PM): Uh... Was I looking for them, or did I just happen across them>
MilesMk1 (10:51:23 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (10:51:43 PM): You just happened across them. A human you don't recognize is explaining how to refuel a generator while it's running.
Umbrafer (10:52:04 PM): "Yeah, but there are lots of us and one of you. What makes you think you're not going to get screwed out of a share, and possibly killed in the process?"
MilesMk1 (10:53:01 PM): "Bet you didn't imagine this when they talked about joining the army, seeing new places, meeting new people.... or is that the navy...?"
delioch (10:53:04 PM): shrugs," i have confidence"
Umbrafer (10:53:33 PM): *Muses*
MilesMk1 (10:53:44 PM): (We have apds ammo)
Thematrian1 (10:53:48 PM): They twitch in unison. One: "T-They told us it was all about getting to push around wage slaves and get away with it."
MilesMk1 (10:53:51 PM): (:))
Thematrian1 (10:54:07 PM): The other: "Seemed like an easy life."
Umbrafer (10:54:43 PM): "Come on inside. We need to talk to some people."
delioch (10:54:50 PM): "so i guess you need to talk to a few people, why don't you cal for them and let them see"
Dragcrell (10:55:10 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 5 4 5
delioch (10:55:12 PM): (ya, thats it)
MilesMk1 (10:55:15 PM): "Mhmm... Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt. Carry on. Avoid Alex." *grins*
Thematrian1 (10:55:23 PM): They nod vigorously.
MilesMk1 (10:55:51 PM): *walks on, not quite sure he buys the meek-and-ignorant act* (they were rather well trained, for all the good it did them in the end)
Umbrafer (10:56:03 PM): #You busy?#
MilesMk1 (10:56:04 PM): *continues the search*
Thematrian1 (10:56:36 PM): Blake: you bump into Shadowcat and get Alex's message almost simultaneously.
MilesMk1 (10:56:59 PM): #Just fnished talking to Accident... Smart man, seems like they're having second thoughts about the bald kid, too... Either that, or I just got pumped for info by a troll... Hmm... So, no, not busy. Why?#
Dragcrell (10:57:11 PM): "Blake therrre's something you might be intrrrested in."
delioch (10:57:14 PM): *searchs inside his coat for a power bar*
Umbrafer (10:57:17 PM): #The new guy has something you should see.#
MilesMk1 (10:57:33 PM): "From the new guy? Alex just told me... Ok, let's."
MilesMk1 (10:57:42 PM): #All right - where are you?#
Umbrafer (10:57:46 PM): #What'd Accident have to say for himself?#
Umbrafer (10:58:06 PM): #In the van. Where else?# A very faint tone of resignation there, if you can believe it.
Dragcrell (10:58:09 PM): "No. Otherrres"
delioch (10:58:23 PM): *clews on power bar*
delioch (10:58:46 PM): (chews)
MilesMk1 (10:58:53 PM): #He said they upped it to 1.5 mil, and 500K up front... And Arty, their mage, had the same reaction to them that Trickster did. Bad aura.#
Umbrafer (10:59:16 PM): #Good money, bad customer. Not a good combination.#
MilesMk1 (10:59:17 PM): #Said he'd let me know if he was thinking about it again.#
Dragcrell (10:59:32 PM): *Follows Blake*
MilesMk1 (10:59:37 PM): "What others?"
delioch (11:00:13 PM): *you have some good encription, i can't scan a thing"
MilesMk1 (11:00:28 PM): *heads to the van*
Dragcrell (11:00:36 PM): "The mage was talking with a watcherrr that came herrre on the secont floorrr in a closet something about getting the van forrr something."
MilesMk1 (11:00:46 PM): *stops*
MilesMk1 (11:00:53 PM): "Which mage?"
Umbrafer (11:01:02 PM): *Half-smile* "Thanks."
MilesMk1 (11:01:07 PM): *lowers voice, looks around to see who heard it*
delioch (11:01:21 PM): "no prob"
Dragcrell (11:01:39 PM): "Arrty?" *softly* "Now what was this info the Elf had?"
MilesMk1 (11:02:01 PM): "What did he say about the van? Our van? Come on, try to remember..."
Dragcrell (11:02:25 PM): "Van first to meny earrrs herrre."
MilesMk1 (11:02:33 PM): "Fine."
delioch (11:02:38 PM): ( the elf- i have a name)
Umbrafer (11:02:50 PM): (Not anymore ;) )
delioch (11:03:07 PM): (she-it)
MilesMk1 (11:03:25 PM): *heads for the van quickly*
Dragcrell (11:03:42 PM): (ya but I have enufe stuff to back up ppl not trying that)
Thematrian1 (11:03:59 PM): Ok. The Gang of Four has gathered in the van.
delioch (11:04:42 PM): i go back over the whole thing..look shinny" as you can see its theres for the taking"
MilesMk1 (11:05:01 PM): *seems interested, but distracted*
Umbrafer (11:05:22 PM): *Causes the cultural revolution*
delioch (11:05:34 PM): " not only that but your refugee friends out there can hole up in there.
MilesMk1 (11:05:35 PM): #Alex, we might have a problem... SC just dropped a bomb on me on the way here. About Arty. Can we talk in front of the elf?#
Dragcrell (11:05:37 PM): *snorts* "I think I have morrre worrrysim news for thes two"
MilesMk1 (11:05:54 PM): #Never mind, apparently we can...#
Umbrafer (11:06:00 PM): #No idea.#
delioch (11:06:17 PM): "ok"
delioch (11:07:17 PM): "no problem is to big to block oppertunity", smiles
Dragcrell (11:07:43 PM): *removes both hands and lets out her claws* "Tell no one else about this Firrre. *glares at Shadowfire then resheaths the claws* "I hearrred Arrrty talking with a watcherrr that came herrre."
delioch (11:08:18 PM): " who would i tell, i know one one"
delioch (11:08:30 PM): (no one)
Umbrafer (11:08:37 PM): (So if we're the Gang of Four, presumably Alex is Jiang Qing. Who else is who?)
Umbrafer (11:08:50 PM): "What Watcher?"
delioch (11:09:34 PM): (jiang qing?)
Dragcrell (11:10:13 PM): "It came herrre mage that called it simmer to the bald kid. Only got parrrt of it something about Accedent getting access to the van so they could use it. Is that going to be a prrroblem?"
delioch (11:10:37 PM): "this van?"
delioch (11:10:50 PM): *points at the floor*
Umbrafer (11:10:54 PM): (Mao's widow and the only female member of the Gang of Four)
delioch (11:11:14 PM): (i don't think i've seen it)
Dragcrell (11:11:29 PM): "I do not know but that is what I hearrred."
Thematrian1 (11:11:35 PM): (It's the name of the Chinese group that...siezed power? Revolted? I'm not sure how to put it)
delioch (11:11:58 PM): (oh)
Umbrafer (11:12:05 PM): (Were executed following Mao's death.)
Umbrafer (11:12:25 PM): (They were considered to be leaders in the Cultural Revolution during his life.)
delioch (11:12:54 PM): (i didn't get that far in my history of china- seriously)
Dragcrell (11:13:02 PM): (ahhh games and a bit of history tria never thout you would get that did ya Del)
Thematrian1 (11:13:32 PM): (Me neither, really; it's odd, but you almost always get a huge store of really eclectic knowledge when you bring gamers together)
MilesMk1 (11:13:40 PM): "Wait... What about the bald kid? Who's simmer? And did it sound like Accident was in on it?"
delioch (11:13:48 PM): (true)
Thematrian1 (11:13:55 PM): (simmer = similar)
Umbrafer (11:13:58 PM): (Comes from reading too much classic Doonesbury.)
delioch (11:14:06 PM): "good questions"
Thematrian1 (11:14:08 PM): (As if there could be such a thing)
MilesMk1 (11:14:37 PM): "The mage that called it was similar to the bald kid?"
delioch (11:14:59 PM): ( i think i would rather be Lu Xaio Feng)
Dragcrell (11:15:18 PM): "yes, and Accident is the one that is supost to get the van forrr therrre use."
MilesMk1 (11:15:52 PM): #Shit, I hate it when you find out that you really can't trust anyone. I was only joking about him playing me...#
delioch (11:16:10 PM): "they can have my car"
MilesMk1 (11:16:25 PM): "I'm not sure it's got the cargo space."
delioch (11:16:33 PM): *points in the general direction of the car*
Dragcrell (11:16:45 PM): "why would they need carrrgo space forrr?"
MilesMk1 (11:16:50 PM): "Alex... You probably know these people better than any of us. What do you think?"
delioch (11:17:04 PM): " why this van, theres whole garages full out there"
MilesMk1 (11:17:09 PM): *sighs* "For whatever they wanted to ship out of the city - remember?"
Dragcrell (11:17:35 PM): "I have no idea what you arrre talking about."
Umbrafer (11:17:36 PM): "No reason not to trust them, except for all of this. Then again, no reason to trust them other than they've done right by us 'til now."
MilesMk1 (11:18:10 PM): "Does he work for Sigrun? What's their relationship, exactly?"
MilesMk1 (11:20:01 PM): (BTW, I need to log very soon... Sleep deprived... If I don't go to bed at a sane hour tonight, I'll be a zombie tomorrow.)
Umbrafer (11:20:16 PM): "Wait… now that I think about it, she might have said something about… I think these guys showed up after this all started going wrong. Sounded like Sigrun trusted him, but…"
delioch (11:20:17 PM): " if your really worried, you should just ask to see and know what they want to get out of the city if your real concern"
delioch (11:20:35 PM): *leans back*
Dragcrell (11:21:32 PM): "How meny arrre there with the two?"
Thematrian1 (11:23:53 PM): (brb, not that I'm necessary for this part...)
delioch (11:24:11 PM): (ok)
Umbrafer (11:24:32 PM): "I don't know who all is with them."
Umbrafer (11:25:02 PM): "Sigrun's people I know, but there are a lot of faces here."
Dragcrell (11:25:19 PM): "would the Mage be missed if he was to go missing?"
MilesMk1 (11:25:27 PM): "Is this something you think you could talk to Sigrun about?"
Umbrafer (11:25:50 PM): "Yeah. I'm going to do that… unless someone mojoed her…"
MilesMk1 (11:25:55 PM): "Missed? Hell yeah, he's been healing people left and right. I've seen him working with Jeremy."
MilesMk1 (11:27:22 PM): "Fuck... If all this is the UBs' idea, and Accident and his people are just listening, and talking to them, because 1.5 mil is a lot of money... that I can understand."
MilesMk1 (11:27:39 PM): "We'd probably think about it too in a similar setup."
Umbrafer (11:27:59 PM): "I'd be near-dead if it wasn't for him… even if he is a traitor, he gets a quick and easy death."
MilesMk1 (11:28:20 PM): "But if they started to plan to steal our ride on their own initiative... And how exactly would we be dealt with in that scenario?"
Dragcrell (11:28:29 PM): "I said I would help you both that still holds." *turns to Blake* "If you have to tell the mage something make it something thats not a lie that is why that Red eye Orrrk was trrrying to kill you forrr.'
Umbrafer (11:28:36 PM): "Wouldn't take much right now. Look at us."
delioch (11:29:22 PM): i smile" maybe we can bring them something better back from the tower"
MilesMk1 (11:30:06 PM): "Yeah, well... How do we broach the idea? 'Hey, we heard you were thinking about ripping of our wheels, want to come and get something from Ares instead?'"
MilesMk1 (11:30:14 PM): off
Dragcrell (11:30:25 PM): "The mage that was with him could tell you had lied about the death of his...." *scraches head in thout a low growl comeing her throwt as she dose so*
MilesMk1 (11:30:48 PM): "Hmm."
MilesMk1 (11:31:04 PM): "Good to know..."
delioch (11:31:06 PM): "maybe"
MilesMk1 (11:32:01 PM): "The tower... I want Ed to look at this *waves at the plans*, but there are so many damn things to consider right now..."
Dragcrell (11:32:07 PM): "Sorrrrry I trrryed to worrrn you. I dont think that well worrrk to well they might decide to fight."
delioch (11:32:26 PM): "but i wouldn't say- we heard you were going to steal our ride. its insulting"
MilesMk1 (11:33:03 PM): "Obviously... But they can still read between the lines. Plus, how do we trust them?"
Dragcrell (11:33:07 PM): "Prrray well fight if its corrrned all the same." *lets out a soft purrr*
MilesMk1 (11:33:45 PM): (And, this is it for me... Sorry...)
delioch (11:34:01 PM): " well, you could say that you figured that they may need a ride like your van to leave town"
MilesMk1 (11:34:10 PM): (You guys go on, it seems like there's a lot that needs to be hashed out... Alex can be Blake's proxy. ;))
Thematrian1 (11:34:13 PM): (Ok Matt, sleep well)
delioch (11:34:28 PM): (night)
Dragcrell (11:34:31 PM): (well it is 9:30 migth be a good time to call it?)
delioch (11:34:49 PM): (11:30 here)
MilesMk1 (11:34:51 PM): (See you Thursday. That I'll see, anyway... Heh, it's 11:30 here in the heart of civilization.)
Thematrian1 (11:34:55 PM): (11:30 here, but I'm still fresh. The conversation can run as long as you like)
MilesMk1 (11:35:01 PM): (Night.)
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:35:25 PM): Hm. Too many decisions…
Dragcrell (11:35:42 PM): that there is
Umbrafer (11:35:47 PM): And even harder ones, given our state.
Umbrafer (11:35:53 PM): "What are we up against in Ares Tower?"
delioch (11:36:43 PM): "auto systems that are easily delt with once i'm in the security room"
Umbrafer (11:37:01 PM): "And what will it take to get you through to there?"
Dragcrell (11:37:55 PM): "Arrre therrre Guarrrds as well?"
delioch (11:37:59 PM): "well, i can go through a couple diiferent routes"
delioch (11:38:20 PM): "maybe a few, easily delt with as well."
Dragcrell (11:38:58 PM): *nods*
delioch (11:39:59 PM): (looks at the floor plains)
Thematrian1 (11:40:55 PM): Guards aren't listed on the plans.
delioch (11:41:05 PM): "i can go through the vents,( i know)"
Umbrafer (11:41:17 PM): Aww…
delioch (11:41:21 PM): "or the front doors"
Umbrafer (11:41:28 PM): Next you're going to tell me they aren't listed in real-time.
Umbrafer (11:41:48 PM): "Vents? You don't look six inches wide and able to pass through fan blades."
delioch (11:42:54 PM): "theres the loading docks..... i'll deal with fans with a acid and carry a base to defuse the acid once i'm passed"
delioch (11:43:31 PM): "what mean is before i pass so it doesn't burn me"
Umbrafer (11:43:38 PM): "Mm… hmmm. Label that Plan Z. Loading docks?"
delioch (11:44:49 PM): "loading docks for the loading and unloading or merchandise and supplies"
delioch (11:45:02 PM): (for)
Umbrafer (11:45:23 PM): "Yeah, I get that. What's on that route?"
Thematrian1 (11:45:51 PM): (Sorry folks; I'm not up to a detailed conversation about the Tower at this time of night. We'd better pack it in)
Umbrafer (11:46:01 PM): (Mmk.)
Umbrafer (11:46:07 PM): Sleep well, all.
delioch (11:46:09 PM): (ok)
Dragcrell (11:46:10 PM): ok :P
delioch (11:46:14 PM): night
Dragcrell (11:46:15 PM): have fun
Thematrian1 (11:46:17 PM): I shall

Thematrian1 (11:46:31 PM): heh, be sure to save this log
Thematrian1 (11:46:43 PM): I want you guys to be able to take it out and read it in a few months time
Umbrafer (11:46:55 PM): Hm.
Umbrafer (11:47:00 PM): That is… potentially alarming ;)
Umbrafer (11:47:13 PM): But yes, all logs are saved.
Thematrian1 (11:47:18 PM): Awesome, thank you.
Umbrafer (11:47:24 PM): They just have difficulty getting /posted/ x.x
Thematrian1 (11:47:30 PM): I admit, I usually don't enjoy sessions where I'm mostly a spectator, but this one was great.
Thematrian1 (11:47:53 PM): When the players are able to make deductive leaps from evidence, it proves that the world's internally consistent
Umbrafer (11:48:08 PM): Indeed.
Umbrafer (11:48:32 PM): One of the reasons I've been desperately trying to organize my notes and hintings in the Thursday game.
Thematrian1 (11:48:55 PM): well, once Gem gets her Decryption on, we may see some progress on that front
Thematrian1 (11:49:02 PM): oh, I have a spectator for you on Thursday
Umbrafer (11:49:12 PM): Ah, good times. Which one?
Thematrian1 (11:49:18 PM): he's a total gaming newbie, one of my roommates
Thematrian1 (11:49:39 PM): but interested. He approached me out of the clear blue
Umbrafer (11:49:46 PM): Just as long as he isn't playing a chef. We'd tease him to death ;)
Umbrafer (11:49:49 PM): Do tell?
Thematrian1 (11:50:17 PM): not much to say. There we were, not even speaking, when he asked me if I was in any role-playing games currently. I said I was, and mentioned yours, and he wanted to join it
Umbrafer (11:50:37 PM): That is out of the blue.
Umbrafer (11:51:39 PM): Well, good times.
Thematrian1 (11:51:59 PM): yeah. Which reminds me: are we headed into HB?
Thematrian1 (11:52:20 PM): (I want enough karma for the 100-point Ally Spirit ;-))
Umbrafer (11:52:44 PM): Yes, though not immediately. You people don't have remotely enough karma for that yet.
Thematrian1 (11:52:55 PM): aw, nerts
Umbrafer (11:53:37 PM): Depending on how quickly things go, the time to start watching the skies will probably be August-September-October.
Thematrian1 (11:53:50 PM): IC or OOC?
Umbrafer (11:53:54 PM): OOC.
Thematrian1 (11:54:00 PM): ::nod::
Umbrafer (11:54:02 PM): IC that would probably be sometime in 2010.
Thematrian1 (11:54:09 PM): heh
Thematrian1 (11:54:51 PM): Ok. On Thursday: we trade cash for goodies, and either get another job offer or don't. And Gem maybe gets a magical group.
Thematrian1 (11:54:58 PM): sleep soundly
Umbrafer (11:55:05 PM): Yep.
Umbrafer (11:55:09 PM): You as well. *Waves*
