delioch (9:14:11 PM): "the windows will most6 likely be the top of the top secur glass"
Dragcrell (9:14:16 PM): "Why mine therrre own yarrrd would that not make it harrrder for the guarrrds to rrrespond to trrruble?"
MilesMk1 (9:14:33 PM): "You can have mines with IFF recognition, I'm pretty sure..."
Thematrian1 (9:14:54 PM): (You can check that with Security Systems or some reasonable equivalent)
Dragcrell (9:15:14 PM): "IFF?" *hood moves as she tilts her head to one side*
MilesMk1 (9:15:21 PM): security procedures
MilesMk1 (9:15:25 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 1 6 6 2
MilesMk1 (9:15:28 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 6
MilesMk1 (9:15:31 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
MilesMk1 (9:15:42 PM): Closest I can come to an appropriate skill.
Thematrian1 (9:15:50 PM): Yes, that's possible. In fact, Ares is known to use techniques like that in its more sensitive installations.
MilesMk1 (9:16:21 PM): "Identification, Friend or Foe. Smart mines. The guards could wear transponders that make the mines deactivate, or something."
Thematrian1 (9:16:48 PM): The building itself is compartmentalized; has its own kitchens, satellite access, and emergency power supplies. Any one section could, in principle, power the entire building.
Dragcrell (9:17:02 PM): "Mmmmm any mages in the building?"
MilesMk1 (9:17:32 PM): What sort of mechanical defenses does it have inside the tower proper?
MilesMk1 (9:18:10 PM): "And what about the people? How many guards do they have watching it? Are the security riggers still there? Do they have drones inside or out?"
delioch (9:18:25 PM): "gun ports and drone most likely"
MilesMk1 (9:18:31 PM): "You did get pretty colorful in your description earlier... care to elaborate?"
Thematrian1 (9:18:52 PM): I'm getting there. Each section boasts a security rigger, who controls the environment together with what the annotations call "drone vents"
delioch (9:19:17 PM): (who me?)
Dragcrell (9:19:38 PM): (ya you for both our questions)
Thematrian1 (9:19:46 PM): The R&D section also includes one or two "gas emitters" per room, though there's no word on what exactly they're intended to emit
MilesMk1 (9:20:08 PM): (Yeah.)
delioch (9:20:35 PM): "have no clue about mages but its a sure guess"
Thematrian1 (9:20:43 PM): Furthermore, all the entry points are guarded by more semi-anonymous "heavy weapons", mounted in the wall behind the receptionist's desk
delioch (9:21:01 PM): "elaborate about what exectly?"
Thematrian1 (9:21:09 PM): The doorway to the main lobby is, if this diagram is accurate, overlooked by four different weapon emplacements
Umbrafer (9:21:24 PM): One of them's probably halon. The other one probably isn't.
Umbrafer (9:21:49 PM): Not that halon won't take care of anyone without an oxygen tank.
delioch (9:21:50 PM): (oh, joy)
Dragcrell (9:24:18 PM): *looks at Blake* "you done with the rrradio and do you have.............earrr buds?"
MilesMk1 (9:24:51 PM): "I can probably find some." *hands over the set up radio*
Thematrian1 (9:25:36 PM): divisions, by the way: Administrative (ground floor to floor 30), Matrix (31 - 38), Design (39-45), Materials (46-52), Massive (53-55), Power Sources (56-58), Executive (59 - 60)
Thematrian1 (9:25:39 PM): and below the ground:
Dragcrell (9:25:52 PM): *sets it back in place and waits for Blake to find the ear buds*
Thematrian1 (9:26:13 PM): Fabrication (B1 - B8), Janitorial (B9 - B10), Containment (B11)
Umbrafer (9:26:18 PM): Hm… Massive division, eh?
Thematrian1 (9:26:26 PM): that's what they call it
Thematrian1 (9:26:33 PM): internally, at least
MilesMk1 (9:26:59 PM): "Elaborate... Well, you did say something about the security being... I don't remember, street meat? And something about pimps being out of town? From what we're seing here, it doesn't exactly sound easy. In fact, unless you
MilesMk1 (9:27:17 PM): have very clear indications that a lot of it won't be operative, I don't see how this could be doable."
Thematrian1 (9:27:34 PM): Each floor has space for perhaps a dozen guards "on call"
Thematrian1 (9:27:54 PM): with rapid transit among blocks of up to five floors within a single division
delioch (9:29:17 PM): "this is fill the whole city didn't go to hell in a hand basket. since it did it wont be as bad"
delioch (9:30:24 PM): (if not fill)
Dragcrell (9:30:35 PM): "Dont mean much only that they now have a betterrr rrresion to be even morrre alart."
Thematrian1 (9:30:47 PM): I should mention: the Administrative area includes several restraunts, a club, a bar, and a miniature golf course, among other amenities
delioch (9:30:50 PM): i smile
delioch (9:31:10 PM): containment-whats that mean?
MilesMk1 (9:31:24 PM): "That cuts both ways. Before, we could make a phone call and, for example, have some respirators available in a few days. Now? No way."
Dragcrell (9:31:51 PM): *lets out a low growl* "do not underrr estamate prrray even when it looks beaten."
Thematrian1 (9:31:54 PM): You see two obvious interpretations: containing samples (paracritters, shapeshifters, etc), or restraining people caught breaking into the Tower (it's extraterritorial, of course)
delioch (9:31:56 PM): i think we could gfo shopping on the way.. stores are wide open"
MilesMk1 (9:32:00 PM): "Do you have any reason to think the majority of the staff either evacuated or ran, or are you just assuming?"
delioch (9:32:53 PM): "yes, i was told so"
Umbrafer (9:33:01 PM): "Zbynhev might have some."
Umbrafer (9:33:06 PM): "He wanted us to check the place out anyway.
Umbrafer (9:33:08 PM): *"
MilesMk1 (9:33:18 PM): "Shopping? I had to kill a dozen people for some building materials and generators..."
MilesMk1 (9:33:36 PM): "If it's worth having, it's probably been looted or is being guarded by men with guns."
Dragcrell (9:33:46 PM): "Told? by who?" *looks at S.Fire*
MilesMk1 (9:33:49 PM): "Zbyhnev wanted us to check out the Ares tower?"
delioch (9:33:56 PM): i wave that away,"don't fret about it, bra."
delioch (9:34:12 PM): " my little bird'
Umbrafer (9:34:19 PM): "Yeah."
MilesMk1 (9:34:48 PM): "Interesting. Think he'd be up to providing us with gear, for a slice of the action?"
Umbrafer (9:35:21 PM): "That's what he said. Only reason I paid attention when it first came up."
delioch (9:35:24 PM): "when this is over maybe you could meet my bird"
MilesMk1 (9:35:39 PM): "By the way, Ed, now that you've seen the plans, what do you think? Any suggestions, if you were the one thinking of doing this?"
delioch (9:35:54 PM): "so wait. someone wanted you to do this anyway?'
Umbrafer (9:36:18 PM): "No comment."
Thematrian1 (9:36:36 PM): "Much depends on the guards. If even one of the security riggers stayed behind, he can keep out an army. But why would he, if his corporation truly abandoned him?"
Dragcrell (9:37:14 PM): *whold body shakes* "You and the birrrd betterrr hope yourrr both rrright." *looks at Blake* "I well rrrturn but I have yet to ggget a changgge of clothing." *stands up and starts out of the van*
delioch (9:37:50 PM): i chuckle
MilesMk1 (9:38:06 PM): "True. A rigger would have a better shot at getting out than most."
delioch (9:38:35 PM): "well we can work out a deal with a rigger if need be. everyone wants out of this place"
Dragcrell (9:39:43 PM): "Take carrre little one that laugggh could be the last you say orrr hearrr." *heads out away from the grurage makeing her way to the roof tops*
MilesMk1 (9:40:01 PM): "Basically, this is only doable assuming a total, large-scale breakdown on corporate control... So if we decide to do this, that's what we have to plan around."
Umbrafer (9:40:14 PM): "The question is, how can we verify that."
delioch (9:40:22 PM): *sticks outr tongue at cat*
MilesMk1 (9:40:31 PM): "Watch out for the worst going in, of course, but there's no point in planning for an assault on a fully-staffed Ares tower."
Umbrafer (9:40:45 PM): "If anyone's in contact with the outside, it's Ares. Unless there's another corp in on the action… we could have just hit an Ares-staffed side."
delioch (9:41:32 PM): "well, the only way we can really find out is to take a look"
MilesMk1 (9:41:34 PM): (hit an Ares-staffed side?)
delioch (9:41:49 PM): (i think he meant aside)
Umbrafer (9:41:53 PM): (Nope)
Thematrian1 (9:42:02 PM): (What did you mean?)
Dragcrell (9:42:04 PM): (Site)
delioch (9:42:14 PM): (so close)
Umbrafer (9:42:40 PM): (Implying that the fact that the highway we tried to take out was headed up by Knight Errant doesn't necessarily mean that the one on the other side of town isn't guarded by, say, the Red Samurai)
Umbrafer (9:43:07 PM): (Any number of corps could have divvied up the border patrol.)
MilesMk1 (9:43:09 PM): (Oh, right, right.)
delioch (9:43:49 PM): ( what you talking about.. the quartine blockcades?)
MilesMk1 (9:44:03 PM): "That's a good point - Knight Errant were ostensibly working the barricades - you see any on your way in?"
delioch (9:44:18 PM): no, just ucas"
delioch (9:44:38 PM): "but i never saw the whole circle'
MilesMk1 (9:45:30 PM): "Ok, so the question is, how do we check the place out?"
MilesMk1 (9:45:56 PM): "We don't exactly have drones that we could afford to lose on a scouting run."
delioch (9:46:05 PM): "well, first we need to get down town. the best way is the monorail"
Umbrafer (9:46:31 PM): "From a long way away."
delioch (9:46:34 PM): "or by car. i rather scout out the place in person"
MilesMk1 (9:46:58 PM): "I don't know if you've noticed, but public services are sort of at a low ebb right now."
MilesMk1 (9:47:08 PM): "I think we might have to drive."
Umbrafer (9:47:17 PM): "If they're keeping watch enough to lob ARMs indiscriminately, we're fucked anyway."
delioch (9:47:28 PM): "i've noticed. it took me 2 days to get a bus"
Umbrafer (9:47:44 PM): "…"
delioch (9:47:56 PM): (scacasum)
MilesMk1 (9:48:00 PM): *shakes head*
MilesMk1 (9:48:44 PM): "So, what do you think - long-range drone recon?"
delioch (9:48:50 PM): (sarcasm)
MilesMk1 (9:49:11 PM): "Or perhaps we can talk to Zbyhnev... He might cough up something, if we're willing to commit to a run at the place."
Umbrafer (9:49:43 PM): What time is it right now?
Umbrafer (9:49:49 PM): "How quickly do we need to move, you think?"
delioch (9:49:53 PM): " i rather not sub-let on this. we could drive there and see whats up and if need be go in for the kill"
Thematrian1 (9:49:56 PM): About 4 PM
MilesMk1 (9:50:03 PM): #And we still haven't decided what to do about Accident and his team.#
MilesMk1 (9:51:28 PM): "Don't take this the wrong way, but how much combat experience do you have?"
Umbrafer (9:51:30 PM): #Yeah. I figure we give Sigrun a heads-up, then… well, if we think we can take AT, that solves that problem.#
MilesMk1 (9:51:50 PM): #Yeah. Would be nice.#
delioch (9:51:53 PM): "i don't keep count"
delioch (9:52:15 PM): "i also rather not have to go in blasting"
MilesMk1 (9:53:19 PM): "Neither would I, but I think you're being just a little bit optimistic about the whole thing. Especially if you plan to be one of the people storming the tower, as it were."
delioch (9:53:47 PM): *shrugs*"i just look forward to the fun"
Thematrian1 (9:54:57 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 5 1 3
Dragcrell (9:56:14 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 1 5 5 5 2
MilesMk1 (9:57:28 PM): "All right, so what's the plan, then? I won't be too much good for the recon phase, so you guys need to figure out how you might want to take a look."
Umbrafer (9:58:08 PM): "We should do recon now. We want to hit this thing day or night?"
MilesMk1 (9:58:15 PM): "And I still think we ought to talk to Zbyhnev, see what he offers. If we do take the Ares Tower, we could cut in a dozen people and still come out way ahead, and we need to be alive to get paid."
Umbrafer (9:58:37 PM): "We're talking to him. The stuff he's got may keep us alive."
Dragcrell (9:59:04 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 5 3 3 3 4
delioch (9:59:12 PM): "night, day.. whatever works. it really depends on the situation we find."
MilesMk1 (10:02:29 PM): "I don't think day or night makes a huge difference, for them - since the main issue is automated systems - so we might as well do the day. Easier to see threats coming."
Umbrafer (10:03:04 PM): "My thoughts exactly."
MilesMk1 (10:03:17 PM): "I'll go get my gear, and look for SC, and we can go take a look - and maybe stop at Zbyhnev's?"
delioch (10:03:19 PM): nods
Umbrafer (10:03:43 PM): "I'll give Sigrun the heads-up. Van in fifteen."
MilesMk1 (10:03:55 PM): "Allright."
MilesMk1 (10:04:05 PM): *goes off the get his stuff and find SC*
Thematrian1 (10:04:15 PM): actions?
delioch (10:04:29 PM): i unhook my comp, pull out another power bar and chew on it.
Umbrafer (10:04:29 PM): *Goes off to find Sigrun*
Thematrian1 (10:04:30 PM): (wuh oh. Ping?)
Umbrafer (10:04:37 PM): (Pong)
delioch (10:04:42 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (10:04:46 PM): Also, he'll stop by Jeremy briefly, and quietly warn him to be careful around Accident or his people - just in case.
Thematrian1 (10:05:10 PM): (I was lagging like mad)
Thematrian1 (10:05:25 PM): He looks puzzled, but agrees to be careful.
Umbrafer (10:06:04 PM): Note: I take the transducer and cable with me.
Thematrian1 (10:06:36 PM): Check
delioch (10:07:07 PM): *i sit in the van with all my stuff that i have been lugging around all day*
Thematrian1 (10:07:25 PM): SF: it's nice to not be carrying all your stuff
delioch (10:07:44 PM): :-)
MilesMk1 (10:08:19 PM): "Just a small possibility their self-interest might get the best of them... Just don't get into a car alone with any of them." *crooked smile*
delioch (10:08:20 PM): "power bars are good for you..mmmmm'i mumble to myself happily
MilesMk1 (10:08:37 PM): *heads off to get stuff and find thr cat*
Thematrian1 (10:09:36 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 4 3 1 4
Thematrian1 (10:09:38 PM): The cat is not in the garage, as far as you can find.
MilesMk1 (10:10:17 PM): "Change of clothes, my ass... Coughing up a hariball would make a better excuse by now..."
delioch (10:10:29 PM): (haha)
MilesMk1 (10:10:30 PM): *gets his stuff and goes back to the van*
Thematrian1 (10:10:57 PM): You have your stuff, in all its glory.
delioch (10:11:07 PM): *i pull out a bug scanner while waiting and check the van for something to do*
delioch (10:11:37 PM): (R:5)
MilesMk1 (10:11:42 PM): *stows a sharpended piece of rebar in the back of the van*
Umbrafer (10:11:48 PM): *Search search search*
delioch (10:12:15 PM): delioch rolled 5 6-sided dice: 5 4 6 2 6
delioch (10:12:29 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 5
Thematrian1 (10:13:32 PM): You find Sigrun's legs underneath some Lynx knockoff or other. You hear faint, cheerful swearing. This particular small machine room is otherwise occupied by two rats tending the generator
MilesMk1 (10:14:01 PM): (Think she'd let us borrow it?)
Dragcrell (10:14:22 PM): (woundn't count on it)
MilesMk1 (10:14:36 PM): (I know.)
Umbrafer (10:15:07 PM): (She might, but she might need it. 'Sides, Lynxes are only good for assaults.)
Umbrafer (10:15:20 PM): "Hey. Got a minute?"
Thematrian1 (10:16:42 PM): She slides out from underneath: "Hey hotshot, pop quiz: what're the machine specs on the rotator for a P-338 series Vindicator?"
Thematrian1 (10:17:08 PM): (This is a little exuberant, for Sigrun)
Umbrafer (10:17:29 PM): I will attempt to rattle them off if I know them. *Digs through Knowledge Skills)
Umbrafer (10:17:30 PM): *&*
Umbrafer (10:17:32 PM): **
Umbrafer (10:18:03 PM): Unless that's in Vehicle R&D, all I've got is Gunnery Background.
Thematrian1 (10:18:16 PM): Gunnery Background will do fine
Thematrian1 (10:18:24 PM): (There isn't such a thing as Gunnery B/R, is there?)
delioch (10:18:43 PM): (i don't see why not)
Thematrian1 (10:19:07 PM): (Because Gunnery covers everything from machine guns to railguns to rifles that are vehicle-controlled. It's a tiny bit silly)
MilesMk1 (10:19:14 PM): (Gunnery can be used with anything from holdouts to cannons, so unles the B/R only applied to their mounts...)
MilesMk1 (10:19:23 PM): (Curse my slow typing.)
Umbrafer (10:19:36 PM): (I'm not sure)
Thematrian1 (10:19:40 PM): (Stupid meat fingers)
Thematrian1 (10:19:53 PM): Actually, the right skill for this would be Heavy Weapons B/R
Thematrian1 (10:20:00 PM): But I will accept a default to Gunnery background
delioch (10:20:12 PM): (gunnery: governs vehical mounted weapons)
Thematrian1 (10:20:14 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 3 6 5 4 6
Thematrian1 (10:20:17 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 6
Dragcrell (10:20:47 PM): (and thats justa bout any gun in SR 3 ;3 )
delioch (10:21:02 PM): ( so i think it would be the place ment of said weaopons onto a vehical)
Umbrafer (10:21:44 PM): Gunnery does indeed have a build/repair skill.
Umbrafer (10:21:59 PM): Umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 2
Umbrafer (10:22:01 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Umbrafer (10:22:16 PM): "Ask me last week and I might've known."
Dragcrell (10:23:25 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 2 4 4
Thematrian1 (10:23:50 PM): she nods. "Figures. I'm using those 141by82 replacements from the Americar, but there's something a little off in the balance, here, I'll show you."
Umbrafer (10:24:24 PM): *Takes a look*
Thematrian1 (10:24:29 PM): She prods something on the base of the vehicle (it's propped up on metal blocks, I should mention).
Thematrian1 (10:24:35 PM): SF: You find no bugs.
Thematrian1 (10:24:49 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 3
Thematrian1 (10:24:58 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
delioch (10:24:58 PM): (kool)
Umbrafer (10:25:25 PM): *Closer look*
Thematrian1 (10:25:31 PM): The minigun begins to spin up, but there's something off in the pitch of that distinctive Vindicator whine.
Thematrian1 (10:25:55 PM): Sure enough, a tiny rocking motion accumulates as the weapon spins, and it begins to thrash against its casing.
Thematrian1 (10:26:05 PM): Sigrun prods the underside again, and it spins down.
Thematrian1 (10:27:08 PM): "See? It isn't balancing right, even within the book specs. I wish Apple was here..."
Umbrafer (10:27:33 PM): *Quietly* "Yeah…"
Thematrian1 (10:28:02 PM): "He knew all about this drek." She gives the drone a half-affectionate whack. "What do you need?"
Umbrafer (10:28:37 PM): "To talk with you." *Offers transducered cable*
Thematrian1 (10:28:43 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 6 1 5 3
Thematrian1 (10:29:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
Thematrian1 (10:29:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 2
Thematrian1 (10:29:20 PM): She blinks, but grabs one end of the cable. "Sure."
Thematrian1 (10:30:47 PM): Blake: you spot Shadow Cat entering by the people door, in the main garage area
Umbrafer (10:30:49 PM): Is anyone else in the room not a Garage Native?
Thematrian1 (10:31:24 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 2 1 2 6 1 1

Thematrian1 (10:31:44 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Thematrian1 (10:31:48 PM): sheesh
delioch (10:32:11 PM): ( thats a lot of 6s)
Thematrian1 (10:32:21 PM): anyway, you vaguely recognize the two others by the generator, and there's no one else in the room
Dragcrell (10:32:47 PM): (hehehehe should have seen my on roll :3 I dont think that one has yet to be broken)
Umbrafer (10:34:02 PM): #Two things. First, watch out for Accident and his crew--one of my team heard Arty talking to a Watcher about ways to steal the van. They may just be after that for the transport job that bald kid was offering, and
Umbrafer (10:34:33 PM): #they've done well enough by us when they haven't had a reason to turn, but no sense in being incautious.#
MilesMk1 (10:35:06 PM): *waves SC over*
Thematrian1 (10:35:18 PM): Shadow Fire: you're still in the van?
delioch (10:35:50 PM): * yeap, sit in the van chewing on power bars looking around*
Dragcrell (10:36:07 PM): *heads over to Blake* "I'm starrrting to like the bugs that arrre around less and less."
Umbrafer (10:36:36 PM): #The other thing is, we're on our way out following a lead that might get us some more supplies--it might even get us a more-defendable place to stay. We'll see. If it all goes well, I'll get in touch with you, let you know what .#
Thematrian1 (10:36:37 PM): Ok. Out one window, you see a small herd of humans and orks (10-12, about), dressed in dirty workman's clothes, approaching the garage on foot
Umbrafer (10:36:41 PM): #there is.#
delioch (10:37:03 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (10:37:27 PM): "There are bugs around?"
Umbrafer (10:37:47 PM): #Try to stay near a radio, or keep someone near one. We'll use channel [channelnum] to get in touch with you.#
delioch (10:37:57 PM): * i try to connect on to that radio i gave sc too call in trouble*
Thematrian1 (10:38:13 PM): It works. Use # to denote radio communication.
MilesMk1 (10:38:21 PM): #Alex, tell Sigrun we have some visitors coming in... Look like hard-luck cases.#
MilesMk1 (10:38:37 PM): Actually, we use # to indicate transduced stuff...
Thematrian1 (10:38:44 PM): That too.
MilesMk1 (10:39:02 PM): Didn't we use something else for normal radio? Or we used so little of that, it just got forgotten?
delioch (10:39:03 PM): #umm, anyone that can hear this.. trouble is afoot at the home gate#
Dragcrell (10:39:51 PM): "Thrrree of the wasp types attacking some human and on my way herrre was followed by a small bug verrry tiny mosquito was following me." *looks at Blake*
Thematrian1 (10:39:53 PM): I don't think we did. I can't imagine what it would be, anyway; we're about out of funny-looking characters.
Umbrafer (10:40:05 PM): #Something's up at the gate. I'll go check it out.#
Umbrafer (10:40:11 PM): We've got plenty
Thematrian1 (10:40:16 PM): #Stay safe#
Thematrian1 (10:40:20 PM): Thta was Sigrun
MilesMk1 (10:40:22 PM): "Should have killed the damn thing."
Umbrafer (10:40:24 PM): (Figured)
Umbrafer (10:40:41 PM): Perhaps a single hash with quotation marks around the text?
MilesMk1 (10:40:41 PM): *steps out of the van, AK ready but not aimed at anyone, scans the crowd*
Umbrafer (10:40:55 PM): "This is speech" #This is transduced speech" #"This is radioed speech"?
Dragcrell (10:40:59 PM): "Trrryed but flew up out of my rrreach then headed norrrth and east."
delioch (10:40:59 PM): * i pull out my stun batons and get out of the van*
Umbrafer (10:41:08 PM): But no, we never did have a protocol for audible radioed speech
MilesMk1 (10:41:23 PM): Do they have visible weapons?
Umbrafer (10:41:53 PM): *Heads for the workshop and her RCD*
Thematrian1 (10:42:02 PM): Some are holding lengths of pipe, or heavy tools. Other than that, no.
delioch (10:42:35 PM): i try to make out the body language*
MilesMk1 (10:42:49 PM): *reloads with gel rounds*
Thematrian1 (10:42:50 PM): Hm. Perception, plus a relevant knowledge skill if any
delioch (10:42:53 PM): delioch rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 1
Thematrian1 (10:42:59 PM): Blake: within sight of the crowd?
Dragcrell (10:43:01 PM): *Follows Blake out the door readying the longs under the cloak and looking the group over*
delioch (10:43:14 PM): delioch rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 3 1 5
MilesMk1 (10:43:31 PM): When they get close enough that I don't have to yell my head off: "Can we help you folks?"
delioch (10:43:36 PM): (first for skill, second for percept)
Dragcrell (10:43:56 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 3 2 1 4 2
MilesMk1 (10:43:57 PM): Ah... No, probably handle it behind the cover of the van.
MilesMk1 (10:44:35 PM): If they turn nasty, I can always quick-draw a pistol loaded with EX.
Thematrian1 (10:44:54 PM): One of the dirty men speaks through his five-day beard growth: "We heard the garage was giving away food."
delioch (10:45:09 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (10:45:38 PM): SF: they are tired to death, and desperate
Thematrian1 (10:45:44 PM): that's your read
delioch (10:46:32 PM): i whisper." they are wipped to frak, man. no fight showing but don't count them out'
Thematrian1 (10:47:06 PM): Getting out of the van and approaching Blake, then, Shadow Fire?
delioch (10:47:20 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (10:47:47 PM): "Who did you hear it from?"
delioch (10:48:10 PM): ( whos getting out of the van/)
Thematrian1 (10:48:17 PM): He shrugs. "Just people." They've stopped maybe 20 feet away from you
Thematrian1 (10:48:24 PM): (You are, if you want to whisper to anybody)
MilesMk1 (10:48:37 PM): (I did get ouf the van.)
delioch (10:48:41 PM): (ya, i already said that)
Thematrian1 (10:49:18 PM): (So you did, good times. Stun batons too, I see)
delioch (10:49:30 PM): :-D
delioch (10:49:52 PM): (zap zap)
MilesMk1 (10:50:09 PM): "Well, I'm not in charge of the place, so if you'd be so kind as to stay there and not make threatening gestures with those bludgeons, I'll go see what the people who are have to say."
Thematrian1 (10:50:10 PM): He presses: "Is it true?"
delioch (10:50:19 PM): (start recording again)
Thematrian1 (10:50:26 PM): A voice from the crowd: "Yeah, bring out the food!"
MilesMk1 (10:50:40 PM): *sighs*
MilesMk1 (10:51:01 PM): *slings the AK over his shoulder, walks over to the spokes-guy*
Thematrian1 (10:51:41 PM): He eyes you. He might be nervous under other circumstances, but right now he's just too tired.
delioch (10:51:49 PM): * i keep i eye out for threatning movement*
MilesMk1 (10:51:56 PM): *quietly* "You in charge of this bunch? Or at least, the spokesman?" *waves his hand to the side* "Let's talk in private for a moment."
Dragcrell (10:52:04 PM): *Moves in to veiw keeping a eye on the group*
MilesMk1 (10:52:14 PM): Oh, and... *gives the yeller a stare meant to settle him down*
Thematrian1 (10:52:31 PM): Ok. Let's see Intimidation or Charisma.
MilesMk1 (10:52:46 PM): For the spokes-hobo, or the screamer?
Thematrian1 (10:52:52 PM): screamer
MilesMk1 (10:53:03 PM): Intimidation, then.
Thematrian1 (10:53:04 PM): "I guess I am."
MilesMk1 (10:53:05 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 6 1 5
MilesMk1 (10:53:08 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Thematrian1 (10:53:23 PM): He recoils a bit, and tries to smile apologetically.
MilesMk1 (10:53:40 PM): *nods at him as if the matter was settled*
Thematrian1 (10:53:54 PM): (You had about +6 worth of situational mods there, too)
MilesMk1 (10:54:12 PM): *leads the spokesman about 20 feet away*
Thematrian1 (10:54:18 PM): SpokesHobo allows himself to be led.
Thematrian1 (10:55:23 PM): Another from the crowd speaks, staring right at Shadow Fire: "What about the food?"
MilesMk1 (10:55:51 PM): "Now, like I started to say... We haven't been handing out food - at least, not to hungry crowds - but we tend to be reasonable people, especially given the circumstances, so I can go inside and see
MilesMk1 (10:55:55 PM): if we can spare something."
Dragcrell (10:55:56 PM): *moves her gaze over the group with out moveing her head or hood any more then needed*
delioch (10:56:10 PM): i smile a wicked smile,"hey, i just got here by bus. i have no idea but any of this myself"
MilesMk1 (10:56:30 PM): "But I'm not promising anything, so you need to be sure you can control these guys if the answer is no."
delioch (10:56:36 PM): (about)]
Thematrian1 (10:56:37 PM): That perplexes him enough that he has no reply.
Thematrian1 (10:56:46 PM): er, the random guy, not SpokesHobo
delioch (10:56:48 PM): :-)
MilesMk1 (10:57:20 PM): "Because I really don't want to hurt anyone, but everyone here has had a bad few days, so if your folks do something stupid..."
Thematrian1 (10:57:24 PM): He shakes his head. "I'm not their leader. I'm just...I'm just a guy, you know? An ordinary guy, living an ordinary life, with" his breath catches momentarily "an ordinary family."
Thematrian1 (10:57:46 PM): "They're here 'cause they're hungry and afraid."
Thematrian1 (10:57:55 PM): "They didn't follow me."
MilesMk1 (10:58:57 PM): "All right... Well, just go back to them, and do as much to keep them calm as you can. I'll be back."
MilesMk1 (10:59:43 PM): *goes in to look for Alex and Sigrun, cursing inwardly*
Thematrian1 (10:59:45 PM): He nods. "I'll try. Everyone's had a rough time"
Thematrian1 (11:00:06 PM): He heads back to the group, and speaks to them:
Thematrian1 (11:00:22 PM): Meanwhile, Blake, you run into Accident (figuratively) in the doorway.
MilesMk1 (11:00:35 PM): Ah?
Thematrian1 (11:00:56 PM): His blocky features are curious: "Who are they?"
delioch (11:01:07 PM): * i approuch one of the group, sheathing my stun batons* "hey, i just got here could you tell me whats been happening for the last few days?"
delioch (11:01:27 PM): (still recording)
Dragcrell (11:01:43 PM): *stays where she is gaze still moveing over the group*
MilesMk1 (11:02:21 PM): "Just some random people, heard somewhere we're giving out food."
Thematrian1 (11:02:38 PM): The spokesman is speaking: "He's going to go in and find out what they can spare. There'll probably be something, and if there isn't, there's supposed to be a Aztenderloiin on this block, isn't there?"
MilesMk1 (11:02:56 PM): "Was going to see Sigrun to see how she wanted to handle this, it being her place."
delioch (11:03:10 PM): (aztenderloin?)
MilesMk1 (11:03:22 PM): (Soy steakhouse)
delioch (11:03:29 PM): (oh)
Thematrian1 (11:03:30 PM): (A small chain of steak restraunts. Never all that popular)
Thematrian1 (11:03:36 PM): Accident: "I'm not sure that's wise."
Umbrafer (11:03:37 PM): (They use Blood Magic to make the steaks tastier.)
MilesMk1 (11:03:44 PM): (And they're in for a disappointment, it's where we got our food.)
delioch (11:03:51 PM): (ick)
Umbrafer (11:03:58 PM): (We got our stuff from the Fakehouse)
MilesMk1 (11:04:01 PM): "Talking to Sigrun, or giving them food?"
Thematrian1 (11:04:32 PM): "Sigrun runs the garage, true, but she's been awake continuously since Arty broke her paralysis."
Thematrian1 (11:05:01 PM): "She's taken a great many stimulants, and her judgment is not all that it could be."
Thematrian1 (11:05:06 PM): He sounds gently sad about that.
Thematrian1 (11:05:17 PM): Man in the crowd: "It's the bugs."
delioch (11:05:25 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (11:05:27 PM): "Giant fragging beetle broke through the wall.
MilesMk1 (11:06:07 PM): "Mhmm... Still, I'm not going to make the call for her."
Thematrian1 (11:06:26 PM): "My Jeff was playing, he had his robopet, you know, they light up." He starts to sing the advertising jingle: "He'll have a friend he won't forget in the Saeder-Krupp brand Robopet."
MilesMk1 (11:06:27 PM): "I'm sure between Alex and I we can keep her from doing anything rash."
Thematrian1 (11:07:01 PM): He nods. "As you like. Remember how limited our food supplies are."
delioch (11:07:03 PM): "ok, go on"
MilesMk1 (11:07:17 PM): *unless he's stopped, heads in to find Alex and Sigrun* (not acting unfriendly towards Accident, just going on)
Thematrian1 (11:07:31 PM): Accident also moves away, so that works out well.
Dragcrell (11:07:58 PM): *looks the group over and the surrounding area*
Thematrian1 (11:08:00 PM): A different man in the crowd: "I was doing security for this warehouse. The bugs just took it over. The big bosses all got out, didn't tell us anything."
Thematrian1 (11:08:04 PM): "We didn't know drek."
delioch (11:08:35 PM): "has anyone tryed to leave?"
Thematrian1 (11:08:39 PM): "We got together, killed one with jet fuel."
Thematrian1 (11:08:49 PM): Everyone shakes their heads in unison.
delioch (11:08:56 PM): * i try to keep my voice little and in still cvalm*
Thematrian1 (11:09:13 PM): "We heard about the killings on Porter street."
delioch (11:09:21 PM): "jet fual.. did it die?"
Dragcrell (11:09:28 PM): Dragcrell rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 6 3 4 5
Thematrian1 (11:09:33 PM): Blake: you find Sigrun. She's messing around with that Vindicator drone
Dragcrell (11:09:34 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
delioch (11:09:39 PM): "porter street?"
Thematrian1 (11:10:14 PM): One man speaks up: "I heard they had a fighter plane strafe the crowd, when they tried to rush the barricades. Just blew them apart."
delioch (11:10:34 PM): "when was this/'
Thematrian1 (11:10:58 PM): Another disagrees: "They've all got machine guns, every ten feet on the Wall."
Thematrian1 (11:11:54 PM): "Yesterday?" "No, the day before." "No it was yesterday, we had it from Boson, remember?"
delioch (11:12:34 PM): (does this corispone with my jumping the wall)
delioch (11:13:04 PM): (correspond)
Thematrian1 (11:13:27 PM): (No; your jaunt was more recent)
delioch (11:13:35 PM): (ok)
MilesMk1 (11:13:49 PM): Sorry I wasn't clearer - I was hoping to find Alex, then go see Sigrun together.
Thematrian1 (11:14:13 PM): Oh. Alex, where were you?
delioch (11:15:09 PM): *i nod..* "troubling times that we find our selves in"
Umbrafer (11:15:30 PM): I was plugging into my remote-control deck, taking a look at the crowd, and then staying plugged in but jacked out with orders for the van to ping me if it heard noise above 80 decibels
Umbrafer (11:15:37 PM): And then gathering up the Kimji and spider parts
Thematrian1 (11:15:51 PM): Blake: when you find her, she's sorting out spider bits
MilesMk1 (11:16:19 PM): "Hey... Mind coming with me to talk to Sigrun?"
Umbrafer (11:16:50 PM): "Sure. What's up with the crowd?"
Thematrian1 (11:17:24 PM): SF: Roll Etiquette or Charisma
delioch (11:17:46 PM): delioch rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 1 1 1 3 5
delioch (11:17:54 PM): (that sucked)
delioch (11:18:17 PM): (charisma)
MilesMk1 (11:18:25 PM): "Looking for food. We need to figure out what our policy is on that... I know what the sensible thing might be, but I really don't want to have to shoot unarmed civilians. Well, almost unarmed."
Thematrian1 (11:18:26 PM): "Killed that bug. Yes we did."
delioch (11:18:56 PM): " do you know where these bugs are coming from?"
Umbrafer (11:19:07 PM): "Crap. There any food somewhere else we could lead them to?"
MilesMk1 (11:19:27 PM): "That, and if we want to think about a longer stay here, even as a contingency, then there's more to it that my... soft heartedness."
Thematrian1 (11:19:51 PM): A new voice speaks up: "They come out of the air, they come through the walls, they come through anything at all..." The others shush him
delioch (11:20:30 PM): * i qizzitive look towards the speaker*
MilesMk1 (11:20:35 PM): "Can't think of anything off-hand."
MilesMk1 (11:21:24 PM): "They were talking about an Aztenderloin somewhere in the area... though if there is on, it might have been cleaned out by now."
Umbrafer (11:21:47 PM): "Maybe. Can't hurt to give them cover while they check it out.
Umbrafer (11:21:49 PM): *"
MilesMk1 (11:21:50 PM): (on = one)
MilesMk1 (11:22:54 PM): "Wanna ask Sigrun, or do you figure there's no point?"
Umbrafer (11:23:48 PM): "No point. We've got nothing to spare, she knows that."
MilesMk1 (11:24:03 PM): (Man... I hate it when correct roleplaying is completely non-conducive to keeping the game going.)
Thematrian1 (11:24:16 PM): (It's ok)
delioch (11:24:53 PM): " how long have the bugs been around? where they showing up before the quarintine?"
MilesMk1 (11:24:56 PM): (I'm not sure how Blake got to this point, but if I just went with my instincts, I'd had to retire him because he'd try to start his own little kingdom to stand up against the warlords. :))
delioch (11:25:07 PM): (where=were)
Thematrian1 (11:25:18 PM): (I dunno, I think that would be kind of cool)
MilesMk1 (11:25:32 PM): (Retiring him?)
Thematrian1 (11:25:46 PM): (Nah, the voice in the wilderness thing)
MilesMk1 (11:25:49 PM): (I don't think everyone else wants to stay in Bug City...)
Umbrafer (11:26:01 PM): (That depends on what we find in Ares Tower.)
delioch (11:26:02 PM): (no way)
Thematrian1 (11:26:05 PM): The crowd manages a general mutter of "We don't think so"
Thematrian1 (11:26:14 PM): Then one guy adds: "Wait, wait"
delioch (11:26:20 PM): * i nod*
delioch (11:26:25 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (11:26:55 PM): "I heard there were these big fireflies crawling all over the 'scrapers in the core. Heard it on the news, when I was going to work. That was the day before."
MilesMk1 (11:27:21 PM): "All right... I'll let you know how things work out over the transducer. I guess I'm going to tell them we're out, but I can give them a hand looking for food."
delioch (11:27:22 PM): "the day before. where at the core?'
Thematrian1 (11:27:47 PM): "Dunno. Not really my place, you know?"
MilesMk1 (11:28:03 PM): *stops by his weapon stash, grabs an SMG, a couple of pistols, and a spare load for each*
MilesMk1 (11:28:27 PM): (we might not have food, but we have more guns than we know what to do with, and I can indulge my charitable instincts that way)
Thematrian1 (11:28:32 PM): ok. Mark 'em off (when the forum comes back up, at least)
MilesMk1 (11:28:52 PM): (BTW, I unload the guns before handing them to anyone.)
delioch (11:28:54 PM): *nods "ok, thanks for the info. i'll keep it all in mind'
MilesMk1 (11:29:07 PM): *stuffs them in a bag*
Thematrian1 (11:29:38 PM): They look a bit baffled, but don't start any trouble.
delioch (11:29:46 PM): (hey, that reminds me. i can't log onto the forum.. its says i'm unactive)
delioch (11:30:04 PM): *i go back to the van.*
Thematrian1 (11:30:05 PM): (Yeah. Our entire hosting service appears to be having difficulties.)
MilesMk1 (11:30:08 PM): *goes outside* (careful not to make it look like he's carrying out food)
Thematrian1 (11:30:13 PM): SF re-enters the van
Thematrian1 (11:30:16 PM): Blake: how?
MilesMk1 (11:30:32 PM): Good question.
delioch (11:30:49 PM): ( none food giving look)
Thematrian1 (11:31:18 PM): (heh)
delioch (11:31:19 PM): ( i stop recording too)
Umbrafer (11:31:21 PM): (Wait, it loads for you?)
delioch (11:31:58 PM): ( it loads but wont allow me to log in)
MilesMk1 (11:32:09 PM): I guess I just walk out, and approach their "leader", looking serious.
Dragcrell (11:32:37 PM): *keeps a eye on the ppl closest to Blake just in case*
Thematrian1 (11:32:46 PM): (Probably a cached page)
Dragcrell (11:33:20 PM): (has to be as I'm still haveing problems getting it to load at all
MilesMk1 (11:33:40 PM): "I'm sorry, but we're too damn low to spare anything right now. Best we can do, is give you people some cover *points at his AK* if there's anything in the area you want to take a look at."
MilesMk1 (11:34:04 PM): "Well, too low on food, anyway..." *holds out the bag for the leader to take*
Umbrafer (11:34:29 PM): I walk out with him, but get into the van.
Umbrafer (11:34:37 PM): Preferably out of sight of the people, not that it matters that much.
Thematrian1 (11:34:47 PM): That's not doable, I'm afraid.
delioch (11:34:50 PM): *cheerful smile*
Thematrian1 (11:35:31 PM): He takes the bag, looks inside, and claims the SMG for himself. Then he passes the bag back behind.
MilesMk1 (11:35:53 PM): "Perhaps you can find someone who'll trade for food... bullets and fuel seem like the new currency. Or just keep them, this place being what it is. Best we can do."
MilesMk1 (11:37:20 PM): "Oh, and do me a favor, and DON'T tell anyone now that this place hands out guns."
delioch (11:37:37 PM): i laugh at that
delioch (11:38:03 PM): * wips the laugh tears from his eye*
Thematrian1 (11:38:19 PM): One of the men in the crowd, now holding a pistol, starts to point it at you: "Listen, you'd better tell your friends - "
MilesMk1 (11:38:27 PM): *looks slightly exasperated*
Umbrafer (11:38:31 PM): Deploying MMG turret.
MilesMk1 (11:38:44 PM): Did he remember to load it?
Thematrian1 (11:38:53 PM): One of his friends grabs his hand, saying "Christ, Armand!"
Umbrafer (11:39:00 PM): Undeploying.
delioch (11:39:07 PM): " hmmm, someone is showing his true colors'
Dragcrell (11:39:32 PM): *lets out a rather loude growl and moves closer to Blake growling the whole way*
Thematrian1 (11:39:33 PM): The turret captured everyone's full attention, for the few seconds that it was visible
Umbrafer (11:40:28 PM): (Sometimes it pays to have other people know what they're dealing with.)
delioch (11:40:50 PM): (yeap)
MilesMk1 (11:41:11 PM): *looks over the group, ignoring Armand* "Like I was saying... Do me a favor, and don't make me trying to give you people a hand get some idiot who thinks he can come here and take from us killed."
Dragcrell (11:42:08 PM): "Next one to trrry that betterrr hope they can rrrun rrrather fast." *Glares at Armand still growling*
Thematrian1 (11:42:30 PM): Spokesman, to his flock: "Are we ok?"
Thematrian1 (11:43:04 PM): There's a general, mumbled reply that averages out to "Yes", with a strong undercurrent of "Because we don't want to be shot"
Umbrafer (11:43:45 PM): (You know, being Chicago-area warlords could be fun.)
delioch (11:43:45 PM): "yas, the grass is greener on the other side. but it cost way to much." i saw more to myself
delioch (11:45:13 PM): " so we ready to go?"
MilesMk1 (11:45:25 PM): *waits for the crowd to depart*
Thematrian1 (11:45:48 PM): With much muttering and many glances backward, they do. A few blocks away, they turn a corner and are lost to sight
MilesMk1 (11:45:48 PM): (we might be, but it's almost midnight, again... damnation... Curse you, Dave, and your endless distractions. :))
Dragcrell (11:46:05 PM): "Why is it the cubs that arrre the most eaggerrr to get them selfs killed?" *glances at S.Fire*
delioch (11:46:09 PM): (yes, yes)
Thematrian1 (11:46:24 PM): (You could have gunned them down. Thirty seconds, and back to the main plot ;-))
delioch (11:46:31 PM): "i never stick my neck out"
Umbrafer (11:46:38 PM): (There's no one to sell the bodies to.)
delioch (11:46:52 PM): (mahahahaha)
MilesMk1 (11:46:57 PM): "Give a man a fish, and he'll be fed for one day. Give a man a gun, and... Well. He'll probably shoot someone else and take their fish."
delioch (11:47:20 PM): i laugh, " oh so true"
Umbrafer (11:47:22 PM): (Organlegging is the 2050s version of eating what you kill, and I'm certainly not planning to do the old-fashioned kind)
Dragcrell (11:47:35 PM): "Netherrr dose the harrre when it hops in to a clearrring only to be snached by a passing hawk."
Thematrian1 (11:48:26 PM): (brB)
Dragcrell (11:48:34 PM): *Turns to Blake* "You trrruly heading to the building then?"
MilesMk1 (11:48:55 PM): "To do some recon."
delioch (11:48:59 PM): *starts to figit a little as he waits*
MilesMk1 (11:49:05 PM): "Not to try to take it by storm, just yet."
delioch (11:49:36 PM): (fidgit)
Umbrafer (11:49:42 PM): "If the place is still standing, I'm going to stop by my apartment."
Umbrafer (11:49:54 PM): "I'll need someone to help carry some things."
delioch (11:50:01 PM): ?/
Dragcrell (11:50:04 PM): *nods* "Good given what I have seen you and yourrr frrrind arrre the best chance I have to get out of this place of death."
MilesMk1 (11:51:01 PM): "Sure."
MilesMk1 (11:51:42 PM): "I was actually thinking about checking in on my place, as well. Remember that thing we bought from the Russians?"
Umbrafer (11:51:50 PM): "Yeah."
Umbrafer (11:52:10 PM): "I hate to say it, but that could come in handy."
delioch (11:52:17 PM): "umm, this sounds omious"
delioch (11:52:41 PM): (omnious)
Umbrafer (11:52:41 PM): Fortunately, the Travelling Shadowrunner Problem can be solved fairly easily via brute force.
Umbrafer (11:53:23 PM): What's the shortest path from the garage, through Blake's, Alex's, and Zbynhev's places, and ending at Ares Tower?
Dragcrell (11:53:36 PM): "I can help as well you two have a tail of trrrouple it apperrrs." *Grabs S.Fire by the shoulder* "dont be to rrrash these two I have a rrrsion to keep safe." *gets in to the van*

Dragcrell (11:54:47 PM): (or one is rather use to traveling light ;3 )
MilesMk1 (11:54:52 PM): BTW, maybe we could stop by Buck's as well, while we're at it, and get that out of the way?

Umbrafer (11:55:12 PM): :D
Umbrafer (11:55:19 PM): Can we do it?
