Well, I don't think she's stupid.

She probably either has some sort of security escort or other defenses for the airship.

Or else she figures London airspace over a rich area in broad daylight is secure enough.

But it's certainly a point worth clarifying.

And I can't think of a better person to clarify it than Solo.

OOC: There is no update on the London book. Hampstead heath could work. The outer edges of Earl's court could too, and since the Below there is actually pretty ritzy, it might be safer to wait for the pickup there. I'd try to stay the hell away from any parks in London. Between the strange magics running through the British Isles and the contamination from Lambeth, god alone knows what's in any even remotely wild place.

I'd also feel better if the hand over occured somewhere without the chance of an attack heli appearing suddenly.

An open space with lots of power cables obstructing airspace and creating noise would be ideal. A transformer station or power plant - maybe even near a military installation with their own secure airspace.

Btw: I'll be away for a short trip to Bremen over the weekend, don't know if I'll have i-net access, so just expect Isaint to stay silent for a bit longer and keeping an eye open for threats.

I do not think she is stupid, but we are not sure that she is for keeping the doc alive. Maybe she's a double agent, maybe she is unaware of what we have been through. Or maybe nobody would dare to down a NeoNet zeppelin because it will start a cooperate war. (or maybe the zeppelins of 2076 are very different from the flying balloons I have in mind).

Kinkerbell - another humdrum, workaday wallflower of a character with a bland sheltered past. Come on, girl, this is Shadowrun, try something exotic once in a while!

No, seriously, great read.

Somehow, just describing the character, you colored the universe she lives in as well. Great stuff!

Like I said, even though she may have a good answer to your concerns, they were very much worth clarifying.

Thank you, sir. I try. Wait until you see the rest of the place.

Improved Synthskin, yes. It cut down on my capacity something fierce to do it that way, and I considered going for a porcelain doll look to at least get the obvious limb cap, but if she was a bunraku, then she needed to feel human enough to keep the clients happy. No one wants to fuck a humanoid bathtub.

@Tribal

We're at 43 posts by my count, which at 9 players is 2 levels of cash/karma each. If that's how we're doing it, anyway.

Wiz to know, but I do have a confusion on that aspect: do we award that to ourselves as we go, or the GM?  And is it done midrun, or once we've finished the job?

Yeah, plus, I'm no math wiz, but the calculation will keep fluctuating as posts are added and if players jump in or drop out.
I think calculating at set intervals is the best way.
I ran this question past Aria, but then he went off on a long weekend...

Sorry I've been out of touch. I had a family emergency. Hopefully Dolly's sheet will go up tonight to replace Goodnight's.

@Aria: I should start having entries on Earl's court this evening, and I'll convert the harrowing to a sheet you can read. Not sure why Chummer gave me gobbeldygook.

Still off today but thought I'd jump in and say, let's award karma/cash on the first weekday of a month, seems a reasonable interval given pbp isn't exactly speedy. Adamu has kindly agreed to keep track for us! As this is an experiment we'll see how it pans out...
