@Malevolence, as I said explicitly
here, I am not concerned about continuity while the team members are engaged in their separate tasks. PbP requires a certain flexibility with timing lest you leave players inactive for long stretches of time. Please avoid comments like "supposed to be done earlier rather than later, but better late than never", which come across the wrong way, especially when the GM has said sequencing isn't important.
@8-bit, barring a glitch or a critical glitch, there's no harm in rolling for a higher Availability item. The only potential drawback is if the modifications increase the price beyond ¥1,000 then the delivery time will be extended from one day to two. But PCC does offer some good deals on electronics, so that helps keep the price down.
@Zweiblumen, there are plenty of balaclavas available at local outdoor retailers. If you just want something to cover your face - not as armor - then a cheap one will cost ¥25 and a nice one will cost ¥50. Because they cover your face and head they would offer Insulation at rating 1 or 2, respectively. If you want something armored, then we'll have to make something up. I would likely use a ballistic mask as a starting point.
@Poindexter, the middle lifestyle is registered to Frank, who is the contact of record with "Mom". There is no lifestyle listed for Ralph, who (as you point out) is the contact of record with the Johnson. Searching through your commlink history, you find no evidence that you have ever communicated with Dad. Your last communication with Gift Shop was last Saturday, January 26th. It was a short call made by Frank, lasting less than 15 seconds. You have no record of what was said.
@All, I have a report due tomorrow so I will be away from the game most of the day. Please continue to roll and post ICly and I'll resolve things later today.
