When i first read the bit about the deepweed being delivered by "the texas rangers" for a split second, my first thought was "We're going up against a baseball team? Fuck YEAH! This'll be easy!"



You sure you wanna go up against them and still think it be easy?(Pic is from the movie The Warriors)

unarmored, no ranged weapons, no chrome.

This is in New York City, where firearms can be some of the hardest things to come by and keep, so range is not that much an issue. They are probably mostly physical adepts with stuff to make it deadlier in combat like Mystic Armor and other stuff like that, plus probably have a vest under their garments or other stuff like that. The pic is also in a world with no 'ware, so they probably would. :P

Be an interesting style of game for street level in Manhattan/New York.

From Martin:
Also trying to get the commcodes of my fellow compatriots. If any of them are running their gear silently, chances are I'll fail as I can only get 1 hit and my dice pool isn't great :)
Matrix Perception [1]: Defaulting -1: 4d6t5 1 4d6t5 1 4d6t5 2 4d6t5 1
1 hit on each is enough to get their commcodes as long as they aren't running silently. Loki's Meta Link won't be.

Anybody running silent will not receive the message in the IC thread.

Wind is not currently running silent though he is living up to a part of his name.   ;)

Yeah, I'm thinking Breeze is security conscious enough (read paranoid) to be running silent. He is also not drinking the water.

@reyjinn,

You might want to consider picking up a throwaway commlink that no one knows the number of, that you never use for talking with contacts, etc. to leave running when you're in polite company.  Otherwise, Breeze stands out because of his paranoia.  Not many people walk around without a comm, after all, so should anybody be looking, he'll pop out immediately.

@Poindexter,

You know that the hellhounds patrol various levels on various days -- never the ground floor for obvious reasons -- as whenever you were scheduled to clean the Magical Studies Department there was always a floor off limits for safety reasons.  There didn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to what floor was barred at any particular time, though sometimes it would be the same floor for a few days to a week at a time -- usually the third or fourth.  During those times, you heard other janitors complain that they would be forced to come in and clean during a day shift between classes and office hours.  This was a major pain in the ass, as they'd have to work faster than usual and would be kept to the same cleaning standards.

You also think that you can provide adequate floor plans of the facility from memory -- we'll run some memory tests and I will provide images for you and the team to use.  Whenever you'd like, just run one memory test for each floor you'd like plans to 1-5.  The roof is off limits, as you wouldn't have had any reason to be up there.

As for the astral security, you know that the vast majority of spirits and barriers on premises are largely the work of TAs and graduate students.  As such, they tend to be of, let's say "varied," strength.  They're usually the result of a midterm or final assignment, so a lot of care has been put into them, but they are by no means all done by students of equal skill.

Yeah, didn't remember to add a metalink or something to the character before we hit the meet. He'll stop by a Stuffer Shack on the way home to pick one up.
edit:
Being accused of acting like a sullen child is indeed that best way to get some people to act like sullen children :D

Yeah, she's been a lot of on or off without a whole lot of middle ground.

@Blazrath, the similarities between Breeze's and Wind's names had not crossed my mind. You got an actual out loud laugh from me there :D

Thanks. I don't try to pick on certain people, but he does voice some of my opinions. I mean, we do have 2 people with almost the same name and I am pretty sure I will get them mixed up. Then having Hopeless and Loki in the group and this is either going to be a good group or its going to have problems.

Also, to those that don't know Metal-Man is a mafia term usually paired with Monkey. The Monkey is the break in expert and the Metal-Man is the one with the guns and muscle. I thought about calling Breeze that, but I thought that would be too far for first meetings and I don't wanna pull a knife on anyone yet. :P

Well he referred to himself as a matrix monkey (or at least I had meant to write that) as well as a second story guy so a misunderstanding would probably be more likely than taking offence :)

Breeze and Dantes both seem to have concerns about what kind of person calls himself Hopeless. I think Poindexter is doing a fantastic job on him btw, not that I expected anything less from him.

Memory test for ground floor: 5d6t5 1

memory test for 2nd floor: 5d6t5 3

memory test for 3rd floor: 5d6t5 2

memory test for 4th floor: 5d6t5 1

memory test for 5th floor: 5d6t5 1


WOW! I didn't fuck any of em up. Seems i spent most of my time on the 2nd and 3rd floors though.

@rednblack:  If it is needed please determine the results of the bug scanner.  I prefer to leave those rolls in the hands of the GM.

Also does Wind know of any park that is not often used in the plex?
