Not opposed to a mage, but we have a dedicated face and I already talked several elves out of making split class faces, so I would prefer to see you going whole hog (or snake as the case may be) on the mage side. Still waiting for the backstory on that one.
In other news, waiting to hear back from Novocrane on a permanent status. For now I will run Icarus as an NPC, which means the other three (Fionn, Clem and O'Connor) need to give him the plan and what part he's play, which I will assume to be the main grabber after the cams are killed and the others create a distraction, but I wasn't sure that was 100 percent yet.
reposting relevant physical descriptions:
The local Ares-Mart (yep, I decided that is who ended up with it and what it got renamed) is fairly typical of the brand, though allowing for a certain regional flavor and operating in a capacity consistant with the Nation regulations on mega-corp access. As happens in most rural communities, it has become a location of note for the less well to-do to congregate and do a majority of their day-to-day shopping. Although you still feel especially exposed considering the racial make-up is Amerind, there are a few others wandering around that let you know you aren't completly alone.
Security-wise, the place is a joke, other than standard theft deterrent procedures, the plan is basically to make sure one the rediculous unsubtle security cameras catches whatever criminal act may occur and then pass it up the corporate chain to be dealt with. That end of things can get pretty serious though, there was a group of smash-and-grabbers that hit several locations down in the CAS, when Lone Star caught up with them all but one had to be wheeled into their arraignment after they had 'resisted arrest'.
The disposble commlinks are in a locked case along with other small electronics, that doubles as the secondary checkout for the electronics area.
...and...
Icarus' roll comfirms the redundant camera coverage. The basic idea is that a single hacker or act of sabotage cannot shut down or scramble the feeds to all the cameras at once, Icarus also notes a lack professionallism on the part of the security he can see, rent-a-cops of the lowest source, theft detterent only.
