A Time For Secrets OOC

...and they say Shadowrun is unrealistic

I hope you find a hideout soon, Gala. I'd offer my couch, but I have the feeling it would be too far away for your convenience.

Hey all, thanks for your support! I found a couch, so to speak, for a while. Now I'm holed up in a proper abode and things are smooth again.

The universe decided to add insult to injury and asked me insistently to change my job at the same time as changing my address... But all's well that ends well, right? This little adventure cost me a great deal more than sleep, but I think I'm in a better place now!

With the above said: I am going to take stock of the game and see how poorly mis-managed I left it when I cut ties and ran last time. In a day or two, I should have re-formed a forward plan. In the mean time: Can I get a roll-call?

Welcome back, Gala! Good to have you here again, you were most sorely missed!
Good to hear you are in a better place, though it was not generally known you were previously in a bad place.

Seig will be ready for action as soon as your plan is 'charted and laid in'

not sure Where we left off but then again don't matter i fixed my computer while i had a job i don't now Buddha says this is the time to be happy i think but yeah yaaay LIl'Tiamet and crew back in action

Specter has haunted this game ever since you left off in the middle of a fight. If I remember correctly, the drone Specter had catapulted into the sky still hasn't come down yet.


Good to have you back Gala. And good do know you have a dry and warm place to stay.

Ok, so we still have LT, Sieg, and Specter.... I may need some new recruits...

So, the three of you that we still have is enough to forge onward, if you're all up for it. I just posted, so I hope you are!

I'll check with Kesslan to see if he wants to continue posting. And I do have one applicant who is already in the process of drawing up a character sheet.
Fortunately, I think I have the perfect way to introduce the new team member...

Posted could not help myself something light too welcome you back G and you the players...

can ultrasound go through walls id like to give it a shot if it can ill post up soon sooo busy right now

Ghostmaker, LT is looking at Specter, not at Darkon.

I'm not sure about the ultrasound. But I think I read something that it can see through walls, depending on the thickness. But I don't know where it's witten.

Forgot your character name sorry my bad ill edit in a minute k and thanks ill look it up

I made the same mistake, but I caught mine after reading Darkon's previous post here

Ghost: nicely done!

It cannot penetrate materials like glass that would be transparent to optical sensors.

And with regards to Ultrasound - you've got it backwards. It's worse in that respect than other vision in that it can't even see through Glass which would be transparent to normal optical vision.

Thanks G

Well i could not find the post and i dont know if it was lightening or she got shot but since i dont remember a heal roll i went with Drain G let me know if im wrong or i gotta edit or what ever that was fun so happy to be LT again lol

You would have been right either way: she was near to passing out from drain (and yes. it was lightning), and then she got shot! She was actually bleeding out, and I would have been drawing in a new character if not for Viking's heal spell... So, yeah, lightning drain, and a bullet hole.

Hai!

Ok stealthy peeps: Seig, Kesslan. It's your show now.

Hey Gala would you mind giving me a refresher on just what exactly we are looking at here?

Building wise and such. I've gotten rather hazy on all the details. (Or well honestly almost all of them)

Kesslen umm? zi believe its a warehouse type of building one maybe two stories idk, and we are trying to find Alexia's contact that she trusts, and we trust her, or i guess we do... because we are here. There also is the big possibility that we are walking into a trap, but the contact (a dwarf i think) should have a lead for us, I also believe... Ill look up the exact post and link them or it too this post Idk where G is or if she's planning a big refresher post, but i wanna help out, since i got soooo much time and no work heh you gotta laugh at this stuff...

Hey Kess here you go Page 62 ATFS Thats where Alexia and Elenor start talking about the mission and it begins this story arc i believe the rest i gotta keep reading to find out but i know guys name is brendon brightwood or something like that ill look for more from you i can also tell you before the chase you were the one to give the order for us to suit up and come get this guy brb[b]

That's a reasonable refresher, I suppose. The short of it is:

Alexia's "friend" called her and left her a message. The message was a quick: "My team is dead, and I'm next." message. Eleanor traced the call to the warehouse which we are now 2 blocks away from.
It's a full-sized port warehouse, likely built/intended for loading/unloading full-sized shipping barges - it's a huge building. Eleanor confirmed that the call had to originate from that very building. Eleanor also uncovered a few meaty bits and pieces posted directly in the post you'll see if you follow Ghostmaker's link. Basically: Eleanor confirmed that it was an ambush, and that all of the rest of Alexia's contact's team is most likely dead; but couldn't confirm that Alexia's contact is dead.
We talked about it, and the team agreed to go along, mostly to keep Alexia safe (or keep an eye on her).
Ashe and Specter did astral recon, and determined that there was only one single night-shift guard working.

short post but sweet

HelloEveryone, How have you been?

Quite a while since i was here the last time, still the small fight was awsome, you made sure there are no more drones left, pity Eleanore could not just hack them and transfer them to your command

Also i hope i can join in again, but this is up to the GM, Gala your call.

UWB-Radar is what you are talking about, it penetrates structure up to 20 so even reinforced walls, and it counts as ultrasound vision, but it's no ordinarry one so if you lack the UWB-Radar you are out of luck.
