Another wordy IC. I've got to work on that, but I'm terrible with conversations - normally it would be a back and forth, but that would take forever in PbP.
@all - is it just me or is the site really slow today (and yesterday, for that matter)?
@Poindexter - you need two more rolls.
@8-bit - That's my general plan. I've been hinting at it in IC, but I'm keeping it to myself until the chat with Katsina is done. I want to see if we can find a "rental" car in Carbondale, something we don't have to car-jack and leave a trail for but something where we don't have to use our SINs. Fixer type borrowing of a vehicle. This breaks our carjack and burn cycle, making it harder for anyone looking for us to keep the trail since they'll be looking for more abductions and/or burning cars. But the smuggling routes skill will be VERY handy in order to avoid issues at the border checks. I'll strongly support that both IC and OOC.
There are a number of topics I want to broach IC, but I just have to wait for the right time. I intend to keep Doc busy again with research. I intend to suggest we start reaching out to contacts (once verified). I intend to look into the Atlantean Foundation for a possible buyer of the artifact, as well as DIMR (which I think was mentioned earlier, though I don't remember if it was IC or OOC). I'm just trying to interject them at logical points in the narrative.
Also, Doc brought up car heists once his deck was repaired. I'll address that as well - basically a "no" since I'd rather borrow a vehicle from a discrete and willing owner this time.
