@Adamu, A simple survival kit attached to each seat should suffice. For maritime purpose, I'd say there's enough goodies for a few days of survival at sea! I don't think too much details are necessary.  But water purifier, fishing line, rations. And of course flotation device. 

@Mercy, indeed... :)

@Jack, expect the answer to get picked up at the airport is yes, and they sent you their itinerary.

Thanks for the thoughts on the seats Obi.

Now, again, does anyone - GM if need be - have any stats on ejection seats?

I need base price (to which I'm thinking of adding 20% for them to be flotation-enabled and contain some modified survival kits), and I also need installation threshold and how many slots they take up....does anyone know if it's in some errata somewhere?

After some research, the closest info I got is from http://www.land-of-kain.de/shadowrun/tables/TableRigger.html

and those stats:
Ejector Seat
Ejection rocket, parachute. 8 F, 3K. Slightly illegal.

After searching a bit through the books, I think a survival bubble from R&G p.83 is what we want. Combined with Ejection Seats from Rigger 5 (German book has the details:
1 Slot, Threshold 10 to install, needs a worshop,  8E AVA, 750 Nuyen per seat.

So, for every person to be equipped with an ejection seat you need 2750 Nuyen more.

Okay, remembering that we are also extracting someone, I want six ejection seats, each with parachute and a survival bubble in the seat back set to deploy in a water landing.
Cost for parts is 16,500.

I paid for the signature masking, and Mercy said Alyce would pony up for the safety features....
(Next cool mod I make I'm hitting you up, Jack!).

Trick is I've got one day to finish this if we want to leave Saturday night or Sunday morning.

10 hits required x 6 seats.

The usual lazy way is to buy successes, since that's usually plenty. But this is a bigger than normal task on a timeline, so I'll get better results by rolling.
To account for partial hours, I'll treat it as a single 60-hit task, but stop the hourly 1-die deduction whenever I hit a ten-hit increment.
My base pool is 18 dice, with a limit of 8.

first hour: 18d6t5 9 (so 8 )
Second hour: 17d6t5 3  to 11
Third hour: 18d6t5 10 (so 8 ) to 18
Fourth hour: 17d6t5 12 (so 8 ) to 26
Fifth hour: 18d6t5 5 to 31
Sixth hour: 18d6t5 11 (so 8 ) to 39
Seventh hour: 17d6t5 6 to 45
Eighth hour: 18d6t5 7 to 52
Ninth hour: 18d6t5 11 (so 8 ) to 60

Nine hours done - would have been eight hours but the rigger book has some weird rule (TYPO?) that says to use Logic as the Limit instead of Mental Limit (which at 10 would have let me keep a lot of successes).

Anyway, somewhere in my memory is a rule on how many hours you are allowed to work in a day (another wet towel on the spirit of fantasy role-playing), so if anyone finds that and it's less than nine, I suppose we can leave fresh on Sunday morning instead of Saturday night....

Yup.
There was talk of a migration or something, so I suppose it somehow went wrong (or at least takes more time than planned). It's depressing :'(

Don't have my book handy, but my impression is that there's a pretty big cargo area, and we haven't brought anything else too bulky.

Yepp,

16 seats - conversion rate is something like 200kg cargo per seat, so we should have plenty of room left.

Well, hadn't really planned on making a roll for a peaceful landing, any more than I would for parking a car.

But what the heck:
