Have a good vacation. Where are you going to?

If it's ok for your plans, the team will probably look for some kind of hotel like the last time (or bunker or some other readily defensive position) to get a few hours of rest.

Wimps!  Who needs Edge anyway?!?  :o ::) 8)

Yes, not a problem (in theory)...have a look at the stuff written on Below on the OP and pick a likely location?!?  In conjunction with the London map.  You might find somewhere in Earl's Court...hide in plain sight kind of thing?!

A France, such a beautiful country if it wasn't for the French  ;)

Getting Edge back would be nice, getting stun back is much more important right now.  ;D

The French that I am will not take offense in this, as long as you replace French with Parisians... you know, no generalizations. :)

That's because were we nice, everybody would want to come and we wouldn't be able to enjoy our own country.
It pains us to act like that you know. Really, it makes our hearts bleed every time...  ;D

In 2005, I spent six weeks driving around Europe and Russia.  My wife and I had a blast.  We visited the families of four of our exchange students and were in France for almost three of the weeks.  In all that time we only met one rude person, and I still think it was because she did not speak English, which almost every one does.  Loved the metro system in Paris, which made it sooooo easy to get around.  The car stayed in the hotel garage for the entire week we were in the city.  We hope to go back again some day.

Hey.  Good news.  I do not know if she wrote to everyone, but I have heard from Brickyard Babe.  She has apparently been in a coma and fighting for her life, but is now, I think, past the worst of it.

Well, that is good news indeed.  :)
My best wishes for a fast recovery to her

Well, I mean, I'm still in a wheelchair. So worst is a relative term. But I'm not going to die or lose any more bits!

*Whistling* Always look on the bright side of life...

Yeah, only wrote to those who were on the last page of my inbox (which is exploding, by the way).

Thanks, Jack!

Seriously, guys. I take my eye off the ball for five months, and everything goes to hell.

Oh well. "...life's a piece of shit, when you look at it..."
But I'm happy to say that your character is still alive and in a prime position to return.  ;)

To give you a short recap:
After Iris left to scout out the situation, the team followed Robyn through the Containment Zone into London Below, met up with the Harlequinade and had a meeting with the Old One. There we were informed that we had to play matchmaker between the House of Flowers and another one which I can't recall right now, by arranging and defending a (shotgun) wedding. We managed to delay that mission to recover the artifact. We were able to enter the vault without problem, but had to content with the fact that someone had already set the fuzz on us. We managed to escape to Below but not without breaching the container of the artifact, releasing a mutated and contagious hybrid of the flue and FAB III. We closed the leak, decontaminated ourselves and hid the remaining bio-hazard stuff.
The artifact began to exert a strong background count, forcing us to hurry the hand over. We managed to acquire the service of the prickly Shinto Priestess Karasu (played by DireRadiant), who seems to be working off a (blood) debt to Iris - quite reluctantly.
Unfortunately our Johnson turned out to be an idiot and an unwitting pawn of the Technomancer Winter. We bolted from the deserted meeting place, but not without giving evidence that we had been infected with the bacteria. We managed to do the hand over by dead drop on a cemetery (leaving some explosives behind to ensure payment) and went to a safe house provided by Karasu and the Metropolitan Police to enact the next step of our plan: Getting rid of the infection.
We didn't get far in that regard before we were attacked by a bunch of mercenaries in the employ of Winter whose aim was to catch us alive and bring us to a clinic in southern London - most probably to get samples of the bio-agent.
We fought them off, but not without sustaining some minor injuries, and leaving some vehicles and a lot of Edge behind.
We met up with some healing mages from below who helped us to kill the infection and clean us up once more. (We had made a prisoner - a gnome anti-magic specialist - who provided us with background about the attack. We let her go afterwards).
From there we went to Robyn's place Below to heal up and plan the next step - which in this case means playing wedding planer and executioner...  ;)

*Slow applause*

Damn, folks. You've been busy. Well, if the game's not full up, I can totally roll my girl back in. Though with DireRadiant in the slot and me ostensibly out of the picture, she can go to NPC, villain, or dead status in hurry with no skin off my nose. I can even play someone who is, uh, hunting myself. And if the game's full up, I'm content to watch.

Believe me, no one is more surprised that I'm back than I am.

This is big and exciting news!

A very happy thing.

Sometime after I get home to my books and before our GM gets back, I'll post something game terms-ey about what I've done with the wall.
The demolitions rules in Core and Run&Gun are an infuriating combination of extremely specific and extemely vague/incomplete. But with what's in Al's bag and brain, confident he can make another breeching charge.

Also will get a roll up for sleeping (not forgetting the old Insomnia quality).
