Ah, but the question remained; How were you intending to -move- a quarter million in medical supplies?

That can be pretty damn easy depending on the medical supplies in question. It's not just a matter of bandages, bottles of pills and so on. Tools, portable scanning equipment, cybernetic parts, bio-ware. Add in a few high price items and the ability to carry it all in is a rather simple matter. In either case I'm going to see about picking pu some basics to haul in for trade as far as my personal share goes. Gonna try to look over gear bit later tonight and see what I can work in.

Speaking of which btw...

Incase anyone hasn't worked it out yet it presently breaks down to 41666.66 split between each of us (250k split 6 ways)

All this OOC talk of profit maximizing...

Just do what you're character would do. That's why I made the choice I did, and it's really the only thing that should motivate the character's actions...

I am looking at what my character would do. Which is precisely why I'm going to ask for the majority of my share to be in food rations, medical supplies, ammunition and one new gun (In this case a medium machinegun with a few extra externals so I actually have something to use with my heavy weapons skill) etc.

All stuff I could carry by and large. And secondly stuff that will hopefully help the group survive, as well as give us a few things to offer up in trade.

Auburn would do the same as Taurus, for much the same reasons. Cred is good to have when you're leaving Chi-Town, but inside, Tech and Med is the stuff of the streets... She can take her end-of-the-run payout in cred; but at the beginning, cash=tech+med.

The 'water gun' your thinking of Ghost is actually a 'water cannon' if memory serves me correctly. Its vehicle mounted and requires a massive water reservoir or the like to hook up to. It's not something that's portable.

Off the top of my head I don't think there's anything else of the sort for Shadowrun though I could well be mistaken as I've never paid too much attention to the exotic weapons in SR beyond a few specifics.

A cannon lol Ok thanks for that kess i can move on now. thought of an alternative already but thanks dude.

RP the next 6 hours however you want, gang. I'm going to spend the next couple of days working through your lists.

Oh, and Ghost, the weapon you're thinking of is the Ares Super Squirt. Pg. 309 of the Core Rulebook.

Thanks T-hawk its an honor to play under the shadow of such a big brain. Im going to add that to my list of last ditch effort items with at least two KE VI clips lata. oh im in ooc ill go do that lata.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow to update, to give everyone a bit more time to RP the interval between the meet and arriving at the airfield.

just got my internet back ill post something tomorrow

I'm going to be offline until Tuesday.

I probably won't be able to post regularly over the weekend... But I should be able to post sporadically.

Understood, Jondera, and thanks for the heads up. I'll do my best with Eva till you get back.

A note on Comm-links and AROs: Unless noted otherwise, I assume that you PANs are set to active. So be aware that unless you specifically state that you've changed your PAN setting, you'll be visible to anyone wearing a comm.

I should have asked for this at the beginning of the run, but... well, I can't think of everyone, neh?
So, I'd like you all to describe what type of commlink you use. Is it hand-held, wrist-mounted, or a head-clip? It seems like a small thing, but it such information could make a big difference. Also, tell me what devices and gadgets (if any) you keep linked to it, including glasses or such.

Also, tell me how you tend to access it. Is it a model set up to be used with AR gloves, keyed instructions, or thought recognition?

Now, as for ARO's and typical street/matrix topography: I don't tend to describe the augmented reality around you all very much. Part of this is simply clutter; given the way the world works in the 2070's, just describing every ARO or blip advert in a scene would be a real hassle, as well as largely unimportant. So, I won't usually describe them unless I'm adding in flavor... unless it's something important, in which case it will most likely be hidden in said flavor

Now, game notes: The SINs attached to your papers are fairly poor, being only Rating 2s. However, sending a Johnson your SIN (fake or real) is a major act of trust on your parts... so it'll be up to you to decide how your characters react to that option. But it shouldn't be an easy decision.

The mapsofts of Cermak are rating 5.


Now, here's a few shots of the interior of a C-130. Largely inconsequential, but I thought it would help you all visualize your ride.

Rear-view of the Cargo bay.


Another cargo bay shot.


An exterior shot.


How we're going to load the Panzerkampfjager.


How we'll unload the PkJ... sans the in-flight portion, that is.


And finally, this is where you'll be sitting for the journey. It's located just aft of the cockpit (that's where the door leads).

Understood, Gala, and thanks.

Ghost's com is a Hermes Icon run by an Iris Orb OS. It sits on his left for arm, has a key pad inter face. It is also set up to use with his AR Gloves. Has a sub-vocal mic, for stealth communication. It is hooked up to his smart items, and med kit of which the latter is worn on his right leg. An image link in his contact lenses provides visuals for the coms AR interface. And translates the coms data all wire less. he also brandishes in times of need a small fold up satellite link up set. Complete with mini dish. Ghosts clear rimless wireless glasses make up the rest of this ans amble.

it should be noted that Ghost normally keeps his pan in hidden mode. But will pull out of that mode from time to time. If he has too. It will be noted in text when he is not in hidden mode so the gm knows. Other wise it should be assumed he is in hidden. As he is always actively hiding from his enemy.

He accesses his com via AR unless there is cause for caution then he will use the key pad. He is quite agile and is adapt at both.

Edit: Final note Ghost is pron to playing surround music with his com. but if asked he will turn it off as i don't think i brought ear buds lol.

OOC: is that what you were looking for T?

I'm back.

Eva's Commlink is a Novatech Airwire comm with Iris Orb OS. It's a pocket version with a thumb joystick and finger buttons for manual input, and is configured to also take data from AR gloves or trodes, when Eva uses them. Primary data output is configured to go to Eva's contact lenses.

Eva habitually leaves her comm Open, broadcasting her fake ID, since a girl her age wouldn't have any real reason to go hidden. When actively on a run, she usually switches to hidden mode, unless she's trying to pass as a "normal" girl, in which case she switches back to Open.

Good deal. I've got Ghost and Jondera, but I still need the rest of you to put your information up. MisterBook, I really like the in-game description you gave, but would also like it put here for ease-of-access.

Will most likely move the run forward tonight.

Commlink: Transys Avalon
OS: Novatech Navi

It is a pocket version, with a joystick and buttons. Auburn is intending, some day, to come up with the dough to upgrade her inputs and outputs a bit to allow for AR Gloves and Trodes. However, at the moment, the only direct input/output is to her headset with an earbud, speakerphone, and a mic. Auburn usually broadcasts in Open. She will switch to hidden when she is doing "sensitive" stuff.

Vanessa's commlink is an internal one, an MCT model. The employee tracking and recovery software has been deactivated by her hacker contact, so it's safe for her to keep using it. However, the technomancer scare in Geneva means that she's hesitant to use her head device, in case she should be accused of being a technomancer, and she hasn't had time to get an external one yet. Since it's internally connected it uses the DNI, connecting directly with her mind.

Taurus typically keeps his skin linked Transys Avalon Comlink near his lower back. Typically standard model otherwise save for the skin link plug in letting him run DNI to his other implants (Cybereyes/ears/Jack). He has a pair of AR gloves he can use in times when he cant maintain a solid DNI and has to physically jack into the comlink. The comlink itself is paired up with a subvocal microphone and typically in all his dress a Skinweb array.

I'm going to wait till tomorrow evening to update, however if anyone wants to RP/plan the mission, I'll hold off for you guys.

Alright gang: Past the airport, ya'll are officially in the driver's seat. Tell me where we're going

Well my part of the plan is to hook up with the Black Star, drop off the supplies I brought back for em (Along with the other stuff I was to bring back to them) and then see bout negociating for a safe house to use out in the CZ where we need to do the job itself (or at least start searching).

Since I figure we'll need some place safe to sleep at night where the bugs, mutants, and bandits cant just easily walk right on in and geek us in our sleep.

I won't always reply to activities going on in-game on the official thread - some information I give out through PMs, so that a player may determine for themselves how to react to it. I do this because sometimes information a player receives may be the sort that he or she doesn't want to share with others. Sometimes it's information that the player has access to, but no one else would: For example, a perception test which clues them to a baddie laying in wait. If i were to post the results of this test on the thread, the metagame temptation raises to a pretty dangerous level... even if a player has the sort of integrity not to act on that information, it can still effect the way players act.

The gist of all this is, if you're waiting on me to respond to something in-game before you take an action, you should probably PM me and ask me if I intend to do so... or you might end up waiting a long time.
