-------GAME ON-------(prepare for carnage)
I love that word, carnage
heh, need my bot
alrighty
okay, you have all been summoned by the Elven Johnson from
last run
and you are sitting there
you are at his main place, Club Penumbra
yes
* ^SlIm^ is a human male, average height, about 106 pounds, brown eyes, brown stringy hair.
* `Tempest sits back listening
"glad you could make it"
* `Tempest is about 5'10" tall, 175lbs, male Elf, in his early 20's, with short black hair, and deep blue eyes, he wears black fatigue pants, black t-shirt, and combat boots, w/ black lined coat he seems to be in constant thought with a serious look on his face
* Killer_GM looks at Tempest
* Lifeline walks into the room wearing tall mid-thigh high boots with 4 inch heals on them. Her opened, black leather longcoat reveals blue jean cutoffs and a cotton white V-Neck T-shirt. Lifeline's bright blue eyes shine like aqua-marine gemstones, while her shoulder length corn-blond hair is pulled back into a pony-tail. Her only visible weapon rests softly on her left hip.
<`Tempest> "I am glad I could to"
* ^SlIm^ looks around trying not to let his nervousness show
"I figured this time it would help to have a real Decker, and a healer"
* ```Dolce listens closely
"Okay as you know, the last run was a little rusty, but my boss likes you"
* Lifeline patiently sits and listens.
* ^SlIm^ looks at the Johnson and the others
"that he has heard good things of Tempest there, supposedly he is good muscle"
<```Dolce> "Most definitely, wouldn't want a repeat of the last run. And Hello
* Killer_GM tosses some pics out on the table
they are of a human woman, with mouse brown hair, a bad complexion, and about 30 years old
* ^SlIm^ waits titll everyone else looks then he looks.
* ```Dolce looks at the pics closely
<```Dolce> "Who are they"
"my employer needs to make some changes in his security, and this woman will help him"
* `Tempest takes a look at the pics
"unfortunately, she has an iron-clad contract with Fuchi, and they don't want to let her go"
* ^SlIm^ just sits there and listens."
<`Tempest> "And she wants to be let out of the contract?"
you notice the lady had a datajack
"exactly"
<^SlIm^> "Is she a decker?"
"How badly does Fuji want to keep her?"
"yes"
* ^SlIm^ smiles
"quite badly, she is drek hot in the Matrix"
<`Tempest> "What is her name?"
"that is not important"
"besides, she's quite paranoid about names and identities"
<^SlIm^> "What info can you give that may help us, other than she's a decker and Fuchi doesn't want to let hergo?"
"fortunately, Fuchi doesn't know she wants to leave yet so security will be fairly light"
"that and, she lives in the Fuchi Employees Hotel"
--which is like the Renraku Arcology
"she also works there, and Fuchi doesn't like her to leave, so you will have to penetrate the place"
* Lifeline sits there with a look of denial on her face....or exasperation, you cant tell which.
"yes?"
* Killer_GM looks at Lifeline
"what else do you need to know?"
"Who me? Oh nothing. I am just thinking about possibilities to complete your job, dont let me interrupt you."
<`Tempest> "So you want us to break into this place and retrieve her. That will not be easy at all."
"well, that's what the decker is for, last time, he didn't do his job"
* ^SlIm^ lets teh others do the talking
<```Dolce> "No he didn't and 2 of our team members died because of it"
"Will she be helping us from the inside?
"and that decker left pieces of himself all over the Renton Arms hotel"
<`Tempest> "And one was of them was a real good friend of mine"
"well, that should make it all the more important that you don't screw this one up right?"
* Killer_GM smiles
<```Dolce> "That's true, so is the new decker good at his/her job"
"good enough for this job"
"I overestimated the skills of the last one"
<```Dolce> "Well I can't help but notice none of the other surviving members came back, that says alot"
* ^SlIm^ starts to sweat
"well, they are busy doing other things"
"besides they will miss out on 40k nuyen"
* Killer_GM pulls out four credsticks
<`Tempest> "This decker better be good, If we get hosed because of the matrix work I will be pissed"
"here is a 25% advance"
"we have a deal?"
* ^SlIm^ sweats more heavily and starts to look around
"Sounds like an interesting proposal."
* ^SlIm^ shakily reaches out to take the cred stick
<^SlIm^> "Y-y-yeah."
"oh and when you deliver her, she need to be unhurt, intact, alive and taken to 942 Queen Anne aAve"
"Ok, I'm in."
<`Tempest> "I am in as long as I can meet with this decker before the run"
"there you will find the remaining cred"
"sure, he is right here"
* Killer_GM point Slim's way
* ^SlIm^ smiles
* `Tempest looks at Slim
* ^SlIm^ wipes the sweat off his brow
<^SlIm^> "Hi. My name's Slim"
* Lifeline writes the address for delivery down.
<`Tempest> "I'm in then, My name is Tempest"
* ^SlIm^ looks at Tempest and extends a hand.
<```Dolce> "So let me get this straight, you're gonna pay us 40k total or is that just the advanced"
* `Tempest takes it and shakes it
<`Tempest> "I hope you are good my friend"
* ^SlIm^ smiles at him
<^SlIm^> "I may be young, but I've been doin this stuff all my life."
"40k each, with 10k each up fornt"
<^SlIm^> "Computers have been my only friend."
<```Dolce> "hmmm, just as dangerous but way less pay, why does that not sound good"
"Well, Slim, we'll be counting on you. Just keep it in mind."
"hey, this isn't all that dagnerous"
<^SlIm^> "I know, I'll do my best at helping you all."
<```Dolce> "Ok, Slim work your magic and the rest of us do our stuff carefully and we should be able to handle this"
* ^SlIm^ nods and smiles
<```Dolce> "Oh, and I am Dolce, nice to meet you Slim"
"well, I will leave you all alone. good luck"
<^SlIm^> "Nice to meet you Dolce."
* ^SlIm^ extends his hand to Dolce
<```Dolce> "Thanks, hopefully luck will be with us"
"Ok, we'll ring you when we are finished."
"no, don't just take her to that address"
"no, don't, just take her to that address"
"Ok, then we'll just take her to the addy."
<`Tempest> "Okay, will do"
he gets up and starts to leave
* ^SlIm^ looks at Lifeline and extends his hand 1"Hi, I'm Slim."
"Hi Slim, they call me Lifeline."
<^SlIm^> "Ok, well, do you guys have a plan?"
"I'm not very good at the planning aspect, but I would suggest we get some coffee and sit down and bump heads."
a waitress appears after you say that
* ^SlIm^ reaches in the floor and pulls up a large bag and sits it in his lap.
<```Dolce> "Screwdriver please"
* `Tempest looks at his watch
---it about 10pm
<`Tempest> "Long Island Iced Tea please"
"okay, anything esle?"
<^SlIm^> "From what I heard, the night time is the right time."
<^SlIm^> "Water please."
"Coffee, European Dark with sugar and creme please."
"okay"
she returns moments later with your drinks
<`Tempest> "Okay how about we get some coveralls and get Slim to log us in as maintenance or decorators? If he thinks he can that is
<^SlIm^> "Uhhhm, I can do that and help with the security cameras, doors, and the location of her room."
<```Dolce> "Deja Vu, that's the same plan we used the last time"
----her room number is written on the pics
<```Dolce> "I think we should check her out, you know family, friends, bad habits, etc.."
<^SlIm^> ---see I already helped with that.
"Why dont we have this insider log us in? She would have a better idea of the insides then we would. If Slim here leaves a note for her to find it might work...I dont know, I only use computers to research new medical techniques."
<```Dolce> "Can't you do a match up on her pic with your computer, like those special police do"
<`Tempest> "Well first I think we should try to get her personnel file"
"How can we do that without a name or a SIN?"
<^SlIm^> "To do the match thing I would need a scanner to get her pic in memory."
<```Dolce> "Well we know she works and lives there, so hopefully our boy Friday, can find out something, there could be an easier and safer way to retrieve her"
"I have one in my lab, its for scanning DNA samples, but it should work for the pic too....dunno if my scanner has enough memory though."
<^SlIm^> "Hmmm, maybe I could crossreference the occupant of room number (whatever) with the data files and see what I can come up with."
<`Tempest> "My thoughts exactly"
<^SlIm^> "Well, let me give it a shot."
* ^SlIm^ pulls out his deck and jacks in
<```Dolce> "If this works can you fix the file to read us as personal friends or family members, that she's authorized to go with?"
* `Tempest sips his drink
yeah we are doing it in mask
<`Tempest> "This is almost a reunion for us"
<```Dolce> "How so?"
you guys would be impressed with this roll
<```Dolce> ---good boy Big guy
---hopfully the roll is in our favor.
--- ^SlIm^ 12d6 ( 5 10 13 16 5 3 2 1 11 3 9 1 )
---yeah and his T# ws 4 hehe
<`Tempest> "All of us except Slim met in Aztlan"
* ```Dolce finishes her drink and orders another
<`Tempest> "So Lifeline what have you been up to lately?"
"Not much really. Had some fun wiring in some john doe's reflexes, that is always tricky. What about you?"
<`Tempest> "Trying to keep busy. Trying to arrange the funeral for my friend."
"Well a funeral can keep you busy.
* ^SlIm^ jacks out, looking around with a dazed look on his face
<`Tempest> "How did it go?"
<^SlIm^> "Pretty good."
* ```Dolce looks at him
<```Dolce> "You ok?"
<^SlIm^> "Yeah, kinda feels wierd when you jack out. Ever seen that old trid Matrix?"
<```Dolce> "Yeah, think so"
* ^SlIm^ looks at the file on his vid screen
<^SlIm^> "I think this may be what we wanted."
<```Dolce> "So what you got for us"
okay the file has some vitals, like her name, which is Trish Benson
<```Dolce> "Well share anyway"
her pay, which is 80k a year, pretty good pay
and also her adress which you know, also has her SIN
a few pics, for security purposes
<`Tempest> "Can you get us a printout of it?"
that's about it
<```Dolce> "So she has no family or friends?"
<```Dolce> "Hmmm, that's interesting"
* ^SlIm^ prints the file out as good as possible 1"Its kind of small, but here it is."
* `Tempest takes and looks it over
* `Tempest passes to Dolce
<^SlIm^> "There was another file that was blank except for one name that I couldn't make out, it was encrypted too much for me, it was a friend's name"
* ```Dolce takes it and looks at it
<```Dolce> "Did you put us in the system?"
<^SlIm^> "I wanted to make sure what you guys wanted to do before I went in and put anything in."
<```Dolce> "Ok, let us figure out something we are wasting time"
<^SlIm^> "When do you want to go in to get her?"
<^SlIm^> "I found the maintance files, so if you want I can put you in there."
<`Tempest> "Whenever you can"
<```Dolce> "Wait a sec, maintenance will get us in, so will decorators, but that won't give us an excuse to get her out, unless, I might be able to switch places with her"
<^SlIm^> "Take an extra set of coveralls, and I'll switch the camera's off, then get her out."
<`Tempest> "'What if you trip the fire alarms and when they evacuate we grab her in the confusion"
<```Dolce> "ok that's a start, but will they not notice more workers leaving than entered?"
---anyone have corp ettiquette?
"Probably, unless one of us slips out through a different avenue.
<`Tempest> ---Not me
<^SlIm^> "Take an extra set of coveralls, I'll get you in as maintenance, then get her to change into them, then I'll set the fire alarms off. Then she'll get out as maintenance."
---roll street Ettiquette Dolce
<^SlIm^> ---Not I
<`Tempest> "That'll work"
<```Dolce> 4d6
0,1 0,1 0,1 0,1 --- ```Dolce 4d6 ( 3 3 3 3 )
nevermind
<```Dolce> ---yuck
<```Dolce> ---you want me to reroll using karma :)
---you can if you want
<```Dolce> ---ok, I'll reroll
<```Dolce> 4d6
0,1 0,1 0,1 0,1 --- ```Dolce 4d6 ( 4 22 4 5 )
<```Dolce> ---whoa, cool
---that was well spent karma there
<```Dolce> "Ok from what I know, word on the street, they are magic light, which means our mage can go in and come out invisible"
<```Dolce> "That would solve our problem"
<```Dolce> ---yeah, it was
"I do hope you arnt asking me to cast invisibility."
<```Dolce> "Think you can do that Lifeline?"
<```Dolce> "That was the plan"
"I dont know the spell formula to cast invisibility. Sorry, it just isnt in my spell book. I could probably learn it, if I can get the formula though."
<`Tempest> "Do you have Invisibility?"
<```Dolce> "Ok, we go in and she comes out with you all, I will find another way out"
"Sorry, there isnt much call for invisible surgeons on the streets, so I never looked up the spell."
<```Dolce> "This is the best way to do it for now"
*** NebtheDestroyer is now known as Johnny_paradigm
* Johnny_paradigm walks in, late as usuall.
<^SlIm^> "So I need to put you in as maintenance?"
---what am I seeing?
<`Tempest> "Well if Dolce, wants to take the risk she can. Up to her, I do not like the idea of leaving someone behind"
<^SlIm^> "Errr, I mean us?"
---you see the group talking about a run you were hired to help them with
<```Dolce> "Ok do it, also I need the other exits to the building including airvents"
* Johnny_paradigm takes a flask from his pocket and takes a swig of it.
* ^SlIm^ jacks back in
<```Dolce> "You think you can also put me in as a temp secretary or some thing that way I can leave after them?"
<^SlIm^> "I can try"
"What?"
<```Dolce> "Try hard"
<```Dolce> "Ok, Johnny, we will go in as maintenance and she will exit with you all instead of me, hopefully he'll give me an out as a secretary or something"
* `Tempest stands up
"What are we killing?"
<`Tempest> "I am going to the bar to get a drink anyone need something?"
<```Dolce> "Yeah, a screwdriver"
"Roman Coke."
<```Dolce> "We are killing no one, we are extracting a Fuchi employee"
<^SlIm^> "What time do you guys want to do this?
"Ok"
<```Dolce> "As close to quitting time as possible"
"I hate tell you this, but what about overtime?"
<`Tempest> "Lifeline you want anything?"
"No, I'm fine."
<```Dolce> "That does not matter, most will still go home on time and it makes it harder to exit if it is not as busy"
* `Tempest leaves to go get the drinks
* ^SlIm^ jacks out with that dazed look
<```Dolce> "Welcome back, what happened and you ok?"
* `Tempest comes back with the drinks
<^SlIm^> "Ok, here's the deal, we go in to repair her pc tomorrow at 4:45, quitting time is 5:00 pm."
<`Tempest> "We in?"
<^SlIm^> "Yeah."
"Sounds like a plan, but how do you explain the fact taht there are 5 of us to fix one computer?"
<`Tempest> "Just what I was thinking"
<^SlIm^> "Uhhhm its bolted to the desk?"
<`Tempest> "So we are replacing it?"
<^SlIm^> "It'll only be 4 of you, I'll be jacked in to give cover."
<```Dolce> "Were you able to get me a way out or a map?"
<^SlIm^> "Besides there was an attack on Mitsuhuma last week and no one goes anywhere without security now."
"Ok, but someone will need to cover for me if they ask any questions related to computers. I know how to turn em on and off and that is about it."
<^SlIm^> "The maps were far beyond my deck's capabilities."
<```Dolce> "Makes sense"
"Decribe the plan again please. I was thing of the pubming job I have to have done."
<^SlIm^> "And Miss Dolce, I didn't get you in as a temp, I barely got the job in."
<```Dolce> "We are going in and she will leave with you all instead of me, I will leave separately from you all"
"Ok how are we gettin gin then?"
<```Dolce> "Ok, so I have no maps and no cover, hmmm, I'll figure out something"
<^SlIm^> "You 4 have been scheduled to repair a computer."
<^SlIm^> "Can you do invis Dolce?"
"Ok, hehehhehehe"
<`Tempest> "Okay but I still do not like the idea of leaving her behind. I would rather do it"
* ```Dolce laughs
"Considering you probably have more brawn than brains."
<```Dolce> "Yeah, right, your male she is female, your tall, etc...."
<```Dolce> "No, I'm not a mage Slim, I'm a fighter with stealth, so I'll get to an exit and figure it out"
* `Tempest looks at Johnny
"Riped torso, perfect pointy eared joyboy."
<^SlIm^> "Oh, sorry."
<`Tempest> "Do not start your shit Johnny, I am not in the freaking mood"
* ^SlIm^ backs up and moves his deck
<```Dolce> "That is ok, guess most people think if you are small you must know magik"
"Gentlemen, bickering will get us no where. Dolce is the best fit with the best chance of getting out on her own. Unless I can get clearance as a staff physician and leave in the morning."
"Feakin' mood?"
---keep in mind, you are in the Penumbra, they releived you of your weapons
* Johnny_paradigm grimaces
<^SlIm^> "Ok, well tomorrow then say at three to get things started? Where do we meet?"
----they patted you down man, those trolls got to cop a good feel from Tempest, a little lacking on JOhnny
----;P
<`Tempest> "Yeah freaking mood! We can meet here in th back alley"
"I don't want to be alone with you anywhere. I don't swing that way."
---hey, I am not stopping anything, you guys wanna kill each other off......
<`Tempest> "Frag off Johnny. Here tomorrow at 3 then?"
* `Tempest asks the rest of the group
<^SlIm^> "Uhhhm, guys? Can you finish this later, there's no need to fight here. Tomorrow at three here. See you all then. Sounds good."
"Wait bar's arn't even open a three?"
"Look, if you two want to go at it, then fine. But save it for after the run, I hate to see talent wasted."
<```Dolce> "Ok, then if there is nothing more I will see you all tomorrow, in the back alley of here not inside ok"
* Johnny_paradigm rolls his eyes. 1"ANother prtty mouth."1
"Sure, I guess."
<`Tempest> "Sorry Lifeline I do not like his attitude. See you guys tomorrow"
* ^SlIm^ packs his deck up, stands up, and starts towards the door.
* `Tempest stands and starts to head out
---so, fast forward to the next day, 3pm, unless someone has something they wanna do?
<^SlIm^> ---I gots nothin
---not I
---Nope, just this time I bring a weapon with me.
---heh
<```Dolce> ---yeah I want to go Alone and check out the place, just a general looksy outside around the place to note exits, windows, scaffolds anything
<`Tempest> ---What about overalls?
---umm Dolce, this Hotel place is part of the Fuchi Star building
---A little hard.
<```Dolce> ---I know but with binoculars she can check it from a distance, type of perimeter security etc
ohh okay
---must get atypical duffel bag of guns.
okay, so it's 3 pm next day
* ^SlIm^ shows up and places his deck on the table
the Club is open, but sparse
* Johnny_paradigm arives late as usuall.
<`Tempest> ---Uh what about coveralls? Or uniforms?
* Lifeline arrives on time.
* ```Dolce arrives and goes in and by Slim
---you pick some up from a fixer continue editiing here
* Johnny_paradigm hekkles the bouncers before entering.
<```Dolce> "Listen, make sure they can get out ok"
the bouncers snarl at Johnny

that and they just scared the drek out of you
---good idea
they are also the only obviuosly armed folks around :)
* `Tempest arrives ontime with the clothes and a Tool Box
* ^SlIm^ sets up his deck for his part of phase 3
you are all there....
"Ok, so we ready to go?"
* `Tempest hands everyon a set of coveralls and throws Johnny his
"Now what's my job again?"
<`Tempest> "Just follow us and keep your mouth shut so you do not piss anyone off."
* Johnny_Paradigm looks at the bald colors in distaste.
"To be quiet and look handsome."
<^SlIm^> "Ok, I'll provide backup/support from here, when you get I'll meet you at the address."
"WHO?"
<```Dolce> "Johnny I told you twice yesterday, we go in, she leaves with you all, can you handle that?"
"What does she look like then?"
* `Tempest puts on his coveralls over his regular clothes minus his jacket
"Slim, would you show Johnboy the picture?"
<`Tempest> "Whos car do we take?"
* ^SlIm^ shows Johnny the pic, on his vidscreen.
<```Dolce> "Johnny are you up for this?"
* ```Dolce puts on the coveralls and puts her coat in her bag
"Is she going willingly?"
<```Dolce> "I am going to take my own car, when you get her out, get outta there as fast as you can and go to the meet"
<`Tempest> "Does everyone have commlinks?"
"Yes Johnboy. She wants to come with us, although only God knows why when she has such a kush job. Heck I'd trade with her anyday of the week and twice on most days."
"Yes."
<```Dolce> "Yes I have one"
<```Dolce> "Slim are you ready?"
<^SlIm^> "Yeah."
* Johnny_Paradigm digs out that battered piece of crap for display.
<`Tempest> "Slim, do you have a comm that we can talk to you with?"
<^SlIm^> "No I don't have a comm, anyone got a spare?"
* `Tempest hands him one
* ^SlIm^ puts it on
<^SlIm^> >>>Check
»»check
<```Dolce> >>>Check
>>>Boring
<`Tempest> >>>Check
<^SlIm^> >>>Ok
* ^SlIm^ hands out some Id's
<```Dolce> "Johnny if you can not do this say so, but do not fuck up or I will kill you myself, do you understand me?"
so, you guys are driving then...
<^SlIm^> "These may come in handy."
* `Tempest takes his and looks at it
* Lifeline takes an ID and looks at it.
"Must be that time of the month, when have I ever failed?"
<^SlIm^> ---fake id for the maintenance crew
<`Tempest> "And if she can't I will"
* `Tempest clips his to his coveralls
* ```Dolce takes her id
"Suuuuurreeeee, I'm real scared."
* Lifeline slips hers into a pocket.
<```Dolce> "So this will get me in and I will give it to her to get out"
okay what weapons is everyone carrying?
* Johnny_Paradigm clips is the left strap.
<```Dolce> "Johnny I do not care if you are or not, but right now we have a job to do and I stand the greatest chance of not making it back alive so shut up and do your job"
---my brain, a manhunter and one full clip of ammo.
* ^SlIm^ reaches into his pocket
<^SlIm^> "Dolce, I have something else for you."
<`Tempest> ---I am taking a silenced Manhunter in my toolbox
---Dolce you have an extra one
---also I have a field medkit with some trauma and tranq patches.
---ID that is
* ^SlIm^ hands Dolce a Second ID badge
* ```Dolce takes it and looks at it
<```Dolce> "And this is for?"
"I think I like you better when you little comprehension of English and did not doubt me."
<^SlIm^> "You to use to get out, just in case."
"Have I like, ever shot something for the hell of it?"
<```Dolce> "I do not have to know alot of English to know I want to live"
<```Dolce> "Thank you Slim"
* Lifeline synches the waist adjusters so the coveralls fit snuggly about her waist, and tucks the legs into her workboots to give them a 'tapered' appearance.
* ```Dolce puts it in her bag
* ^SlIm^ smiles
okay so you guys drive to the Fuchi building
* ^SlIm^ jacks in when everyone leaves.
<`Tempest> "Are you trying to purposely piss people off? If you are you can stay here for all I care"
"Never,"
<```Dolce> "Tempest keep your mind on the job, I can handle him"
arguing all the way
when suddenly the Aztlan mad mage appears and hellblasts you all to oblivion muahahahahaha
<`Tempest> "My mind is on the job. That is what I mean we do not need him antagonizing us through the damn job"
just kidding
* `Tempest drives to the building
* ```Dolce drives to the building in her car and finds a spot to park that's not too close or too far

"okay, you guys can go in"
"You guys don't look to happy, somebody take a header off a lege of something?"
<`Tempest> "Thank you"
"you could say... some shadowrunners attacked a corp buidling last week"
"killed about 100 employees there"

<`Tempest> "Hello Ms. Benson? We are the repairmen"
* `Tempest smiles at her
<```Dolce> "You know why we are here?"
"repairmen?"
she shuts off her recorder
* ```Dolce looks at her
"I didn't order for repairmen, my computer is fine"
* `Tempest looks around for cameras

<`Tempest> "Nice place you have here"
"Didn't you know, the network has errors running around in it?"
"no I didn't, it's not deckers is it?"
