@farothel: i don't necessarily agree. Binding a weaker spirit has its uses, just usually not in combat situations, as they are not as badass as their bigger brothers. Of course, if you want to be very successful at binding, it might be worth to spend Edge on the test, but not obligatory. Don't forget, that you only have to get a single net hit for binding, and the spirit keeps its services from the summoning test, adding any more net hits on binding.

Yeah, even Force 3 spirits can have good enough stats to be reasonably useful.

I've just reread the rules and I'm not going to bind spirits.  My stats are too bad for binding.  I'll think of something else to do.

FYI: the first week of September I will be in London.  While I will have internet, I'll probably won't be posting all that much (they probably don't like it all that much in the Globe Theatre if you start doing that).

Im from London =D, Live in Dover now though. Have a good time, if the heist has started by then we'll wing it

Yes, but I roll 7 dice against the spirit's 6, so I can't be sure to actually win this.  That's why I'm not going to do it.  Also since I need 2 edge to downgrade a glitch or critical glitch (thanks to my mentor spirit) I have to be careful with how I spend it.  And I also rather not spend my whole reward on binding materials to do 10 re-bindings to get enough services.

@all: if you need me, let me know where you are and I'll drop by in the astral.  For the rest of the day, I'll be studying.
She quickly downloaded a high quality datasoft on logistics and started reading.  She already knew the basics, but mostly on how they applied to mercenary operations, so it wouldn't hurt her to read up on those parts she wasn't all that familiar with, like storeroom management and such things.  It could never hurt to be prepared.

[spoiler]
OOC: I download a rating 6 datasoft.  They have availability - and cost 60 nuyen, so I don't think it will take me all that long to find one.  I then spent the rest of the day studying, unless someone needs me.
PS: Chrona, I'll probably buy up the logistics knowledge skill on 1 after this mission.

sounds good to me

The shipping company is well respected for small time (Non-A) Corp deliveries for a few years. They're owned by Aztechnology, but what isn't in this market. The same company delivers to stuffer shacks sometimes, so the company itself seems to be non-suspicious.

using the usual availability rules, only the Defiance Protector  and Jupiter Taser Club have availability, so you can easily buy a Defiance EX Shocker, Yamaha Pulsar or Cavalier SafeGuard from any arms store in the sprawl.

you would have to use arsenal to work out the modified price (and therefore interval) and availability, then roll an extended negotiation test

I already have the job at the museum, so there's no need to go there.  Unless you want to do something else in there.  :)

@Chrona: Any information about the Brain Eaters, like are they a racial gang, what their size (members and turf) is, etc.? Their name’s creepy and I don’t want to run into an all-ghoul gang when not prepared. Or at all.

@Raiden: I will gather all components, prices, and availabilities later today.
