Hey All,

I've caught some kind of flu virus, and I don't want to hold up the group play. I'm thinking Blossom will just change her mind and suggest going to the Rat Pack with the rest of the crew.

Sound good?
Ayrn

I still think 3 going to the club and the other 4 going to the school will cover more ground. We don't have a lot of time to hopefully find the boy before they kill him or worse.

I'm pretty sure with the firepower between Mathis, Vegas, and myself we should be ok. Also with Mathis's access to transportation meeting up again should be no problem.

Brom, no harm, no foul in writing that little share moment for Blossom. You can assume that she'll be passing on pretty much anything she finds on the Data Pools and Dark Web with the rest of the crew, either verbally or by way of forwarding it on to their agents.

Things like the basic campus map I imagine her taking a screen grab and sending the pic to the others. Most of the rest of the info, I imagine her summarizing quick in some type of Word file and forwarding it on (things like the name of the Principal, who owns the school, who's providing security, numbers about how many kids stay on campus and how many attend the school, etc).

On that note, Blossom will also be doing a deep data pool search into the Principal of Bartholomew, who seems to share the same name as the majority stakeholder in the school. If the two people are different, she'll be doing some searching on both. In particular, if the principal's pic is online, she be taking a screen grab of it. She'll run the name and image against popular social media sites. She'll also try to search and see if the name(s) are connecting to any other holdings (what else is she invested in?).

Beyond that, I'd like Blossom to make a search of the typical Edgerunner sites/forums for an offer on "hitting a school in High City" and "quick cash for kid nab at Bartholomew". I don't expect fixers and runners to be so sloppy, but you never know.

Sorry, I know it's a lot of checks, and I'm not certain yet how long these things take, but I'm fine if they are searches they she works on well we are travelling.

My concern is that Brom might need to NPC Blossom and it feels like she might have a big role to play in the school run.

Beyond that, personally, I think we'll need at least 5 of us at the school if we're trying to get past security, someone to provide overwatch, and the rest to push inside.

You make the school sound like an armed assault.

10 to 1 its already closed for the weekend. However as its been already stated students live on campus, so a big crowd of unknown strangers is sure to draw attention.

I'd say 2 on over watch, the sniper Ghlahn for sure and Bloodbank as medical back-up. Blossom and Echo head in as two pretty girls, though they will draw attention, are less likely to seem out of place on a collage campus then 4 people carrying guns. While Blossom hits the school's records Echo covers her back..

Ayrn, take what time you need. I've my standard Monday post where I'm likely to move the party forward, and depending on random encounters, you may not even make it to the school if that's the way you do decide to go (by the end of my Monday post I mean! Sheesh! Why so paranoid?). I've also made note of your search requests and will write them into the timeline as you progress, or send you a PM with answers and a timeline of when you receive them for you to post IC.

Couple of things. With me going with Casino and Vegas, how is the rest of the group going to get to Bartholemew. Will we need to arrange transpo for them before heading to the club? Secondly, sense motive check on Casino. Don't know how that works and what kind of read I get off of him, don't really like this kind of stuff between pc's, but these two don't have an established history and after being betrayed in his past, James is not such a trusting person.

Lastly for now,James is the kind of person who keeps an eye out for anything that seems 'fishy'. So he's always using a passive awareness if that is acceptable.

As for him going to Bartholemew, he won't be much of an asset there, seeing as how Blossom is just as capable if not more so than him getting through electronic type locks. Gave him a hint of skill in it, and he's not much of a fighter, almost no skill at all with arms, just relying mostly at the moment on his natural attributes for 'combat'.

I will be going out of town Thursday without my laptop, so no Gaming access until I return late Saturday night or so.

Since Brom usually posts on Monday, I should be able to interject something else late Sunday night.

I'm leaving the conversation about how you are all going to manage the transportation issue up to you. Vesper brings up a good point.

Vesper, check your PM for a response to your request for a skill check. Just an FYI, anytime any of you wish to make a skill check, feel free to use the Inn's Dice Roller tool. You can submit your results via email directly to me just by plugging my email address ([email protected]) into the right field so I get the result. If you don't know how to read the character sheet, just roll 1d10 and I'll do the rest of the math based on the roll. Otherwise, you can add the modifier directly into the die roll for the end result.

For clarification purposes, as I understand things right now the party is considering Vegas, Casino, and Fixer heading to the Rat Pack while Blossom, Bloodbank, Ghlahn, and Echo will attempt to get Blossom into position within the school to perform some wardriving.

If this is the case, the last things you folks need to determine is how to handle transportation and you can step back out into the fishy rain.

Brom,

When you have listed in the transport section that some of the transportation option can be prepaid or use a SIN /Credit chip, does that mean we also have the option to use cash to purchase tickets/tokens from somewhere?

Also, does anyone beyond Vesper's character have a SIN/Cred card/chip?

Thanks!
Ayrn

Hello Ayrn!

I hope you're feeling better.

If it shows a "no cash" statement, there are no other options than a credchip or SINcard. If it doesn't state "no cash" then there are machines that accept cash installments.

I believe that Fixer is the only one with a credchip or SINcard.

Well, are we able to pick up a SIN/Cred Card with our cash on hand... preferably something like a pre-paid, disposable VISA/ MasterCard? If yes, what is the cost to pick one up and where can we do that?

If not, that does make Fixer a rather valuable person, doesn't it. I would hate for the crew to get stranded along the way to Bartholomew or run into trouble at the school and have no way to pull out. :-/

Not sure if you'll see Red Sector's request on the recruitment thread. Thought I'd highlight it here as well.

Perhaps Red could take over Echo, or we could retcon in a different character. (Perhaps someone with a Cred/SIN card?!)

Peace,
Ayrn

You could go to a Superstore (like Walmart) and purchase a disposable credchip. It's basically a 10% pricetag, minimum $10 chip.

Thanks for pointing out the request on the recruiting thread. I've offered the character of Echo. We'll see what happens.

I thought I'd give you all a pic of the H&K MPK Casino's carrying. It's outfitted with an integrated silencer (Built in) has a 6 × 42mm Leupold VIII Adjustable Objective scope for short to medium range sniping and a telescoping stock for better stability when using the grenade launcher or sniping as needed.



So any body got any pics of their main weapon of destruction
