[21:00]  * It's a cold February afternoon in the City-State of Seattle, in the year 2063. The wind bites at any exposed flesh on your body, and the forecast calls for a chance of rain. You all spent Valentine's Day relatively alone...Some of you got lucky and found some one night stand, but for the most part it's been relatively quiet for all of you. * [21:02]  * You all receive calls from your various contacts, telling you that a job is available tonight and to go to an address Downtown if interested. * [21:02]  * If you accept, you're to be there by 7pm. * [21:02] * Dirk is there precisely at 7 [21:02] * Saburo checks his clock. [21:03]  * Saburo, it's 3:15pm when you receive the call. * [21:04] * Saburo waits until the meeting is a ride away, suits up, and takes his bike there. [21:07]  ((secure long coat, 1 colt manhunter, 1 Dart pistol (Atropine), in 2 concealable holsters, 1 knife)) [21:07] * Jordan shows up about 5 minutes early [21:07] * Nixie collects her necessary things and plans to get there by 6:50 pm [21:07]  * Nixie, you arrive first. The street is dark as are the offices lining the block. The streetlamps cast isolated pools of light down the road. In front of one of the doorways stands a massive troll in a closed black long coat and a wide-brimmed hat. His hands are stuffed in his pockets and he watches the street dutifully. * [21:08]  ((I assume that's where I'm going?)) [21:08]  * On double checking the address given to you, yes, it is. * [21:09] * Nixie strolls purposefully up to the troll [21:09]  * He looks down at you. * [21:09]  ((down? how the hell tall is he?)) [21:09]  ((trolls are around 9 feet tall)) [21:09]  * He's a troll...this one's about 8 1/2 feet tall. * [21:09]  "I have an appointment." [21:10]  "Go on in." [21:11] * Nixie does. [21:11]  * Everyone is greeted in the same manner and enters by 7pm unless someone wants to boot up on the hired help... * [21:12] * Saburo parks his bike, gets off and looks at the Troll. [21:12]  "Keep an eye on this" [21:12] <GM> * You all end up in a lobby and are lead into a back room by a stoic elf with fine white hair. * [21:13] * Dirk follows quietly [21:14] * Saburo looks at the elf. [21:15] <Saburo> ((any insignia,etc?)) [21:17] <GM> * No. He is well-dressed. * [21:17] <GM> * The back room is large, with a long conference table and comfortable looking chairs. Various display monitors flash signs and symbols around the room, a human man sits at the head of the table. He's dressed impeccibly in a black three piece suit. His hair is black with greying around the temples, and his wears it slicked back with a little too much grecian. * [21:17] <GM> * He regards you all silently. * [21:17] <GM> * Describe yourselves. * [21:17] * Nixie is a 6'4" tall elven female, strong and lean with high cheekbones and short purple spiky hair. Dressed in a skin tight sleeveless leather catsuit which accents her shiney hot pink cybernetic arms. Her spiky bangs fall over a pair of stunning green cats eyes. A long sleeveless trench coat and a pair of knee high heeled boots finish her outfit. [21:17] * Saburo is an average looking Japanese human in his thirties. He has short black hair and grey eyes. He is not a large man either in height or girth, but he seems very serious. He is wearing what at first seems to be a simple lab coat, but closer up is obviously a lot tougher. He grins. [21:18] * Jordan is a human who stands in at about 6'2" and has a very healthy physical build. He looks to be Japanese and he has eye length black hair and brown eyes. He wears clothes. He is attractive but looks like he could kick your ass. Don't fuck with him. [21:19] * Dirk is a 5'9" elven male, quite lean, with short bristly dyed black hair. His black clothing is covered with a shin-length black leather jacket. He has on non-reflecting sunglasses, and various things hang from hooks inside his jacket and from his belt and bandolier. He carries a small one-strap backpack. He has an almost constant smirk. [21:22] * Daisy 's slight glimmer from a cigar lights up her face..... [21:23] * Daisy is a semi-muscular looking female elf with pink hair and fair skin. She stands at about 6 feet.. Her pink hair is short, that is in semi dred-like fashion; usually in a pony tail or pigtails. She is of a slender build and her piercing white eyes can cause most to tremble... Sporting a pair of heavily armored boots designed only for the purpose of ass kicking, her slender body as well supports fairly ample breasts as well as real cleavage.

. ..

[21:20] * Jordan has the friendly face edge [21:20] * Jordan looks friendly, like him [21:21] <Saburo> ((I'm pretty damn charismatic)) [21:21] <Nixie> (("pretty damn" being?)) [21:22] <Saburo> ((Well I'm no elven chick.)) [21:22] <Saburo> ((5)) [21:22] <Nixie> ((eh, you're ok ;)))

. ..

[21:23] <GM> * The older gentleman looks at you all and wears a slight grin. "What a diverse group," he intones sarcastically. * [21:23] <GM> * "Please, have a seat." * [21:23] * Nixie slides herself into a seat and makes herself comfortable [21:24] * Saburo bows politely and sits. [21:24] * Daisy takes in some smoke and holds out her cigar, blowing out a puff as she sits her armord boots resting comfortably on the table... [21:24] * Jordan takes a random seat and stays attentive [21:26] * Daisy takes another puff as she looks around her and shifts her swivel chair over slightly.. [21:26] <GM> * The white-haired elf enters the room and shuts the door with a hiss. An ork and a troll enter the room from a door behind the old man and take up his flanks. All wear nice clothing or suits, and carry SMG's. * [21:26] * Dirk takes a seat [21:26] <GM> * "Please take your feet off the table, miss," the man says to Daisy. * [21:27] <Saburo> "You have quite a diverse group as well, Mr. ?" [21:27] <GM> "Johnson." [21:27] * Jordan smirks [21:27] * Daisy blows out another puff, blowing it to his face slowly pulling her feet back still looking like she's relaxing [21:27] * Daisy smirks [21:27] * Saburo nods politely. [21:27] * Jordan looks at Saburo with a look like "did you have to ask?" [21:27] * Nixie chuckles [21:28] <GM> * Mr. Johnson taps the tabletop in front of him, activating a hidden touchpad and a large monitor lowers itself at the end of the room. * [21:30] * Dirk turns his head to look [21:30] <GM> * A black and white ID photograph appears on the screen along with vital information like name, height, weight, eye color, etc. The man pictured looks to be in his early 40's with male pattern baldness and glasses. * [21:30] * Daisy holds her cigar in her left hand and examines it for a moment then looks back up... [21:30] <GM> * He looks kind of dorky. * [21:31] * Saburo does his best to memorize the information. [21:32] * Dirk takes notes [21:32] * Nixie reads the info, making mental notes [21:32] <Saburo> ((Just noticed I had nothing to take notes with :)) [21:32] <Saburo> ((Int of 6 has got to be good for something though.)) [21:33] * Daisy glances over the info.... and then looks back at the pic.... [21:34] <GM> * "This is Dr. Alexander Hall, a scientist in the Reasearch and Developement section of the Aurora Corporation. This man holds valuable information that we want, and he is willing to give it to us if we liberate him from his contract." * [21:34] <GM> * "This is where you come in. * [21:34] <Daisy> "liberate...." [21:34] * Daisy looks back to the one talking... [21:34] * Jordan takes a picture with his Pocket Secretary [21:35] <GM> * Jordan, as you go to snap the shot the elf holds his hand over his face. * [21:35] <GM> * "No photographs, please," he grates. * [21:35] * Jordan puts his PS down and glances at the elf for a moment. [21:35] <Jordan> "Sorry about that" [21:36] <GM> * The Johnson shakes his head. * [21:36] <GM> * "All pertinent information will be provided for you on datachip." * [21:36] * Dirk ignores that and finishes his notes about Hall [21:37] * Daisy, looking very bored, sighs, swivilling her chair about looking back to the Johnson.. taking in another puff from her cigar.... [21:37] * Nixie taps her shiny pink fingers on the side of her chair [21:37] <GM> * "Dr. Hall has arranged to work late tonight, and will be alone in his lab. He is expecting to be extracted." * [21:38] * Jordan waits patiently [21:39] <GM> * "He's also arranged for a maintenance crew to be called in to fix the heating system at approximately 11pm tonight." * [21:39] <Daisy> "Security?" [21:39] <GM> * "We're not sure." * [21:40] <Daisy> "perrrrfect.." [21:40] <GM> * The man snaps his fingers and another troll enters the room carrying an armful of folded white jumpsuits. * [21:40] <GM> * "We have a van out back, and even have the uniforms you'll need to look the part. The only thing you have to do is get in there and get Dr. Hall safely out and back to us." * [21:40] <Jordan> "Less than 4 hours before we are supposed to go... Is there a reason we don't have more time?" [21:40] * Saburo turns to the Johnson, "So sorry, Mr. Johnson," his accent seems to increase for the name, "I do not wish to be rude, but perhaps we should discuss payment." [21:41] * Nixie nods [21:42] <Daisy> "How much?" [21:42] <GM> * The Johnson chuckles. "The consummate mercenaries." * [21:42] <GM> * The troll drops the uniforms on the table and leaves. * [21:42] * Dirk grabs a uniform [21:43] <GM> * "Payment is 10,000 nuyen per runner for the safe extraction and delivery of Dr. Hall and his information from the Aurora Corporation." * [21:44] <Daisy> "Half now, half upon return...." [21:44] * Daisy looks to her cigar.... [21:45] <GM> * He looks at Daisy, "No." * [21:45] * Daisy exhales, the plumes of smoke rising into the air.... [21:45] <Daisy> "Sorry.... but this part isn't negotiable..." [21:45] <GM> * "Then you may leave, miss?" * [21:46] <GM> * The elf with white hair opens the door. * [21:46] * Daisy stands, opens her arms, and gives a slight bow and begins walking out the door... [21:46] <GM> * "Have a good evening." * [21:46] * Daisy laughs slightly as she walks out the door... [21:46] <GM> * The elf with white hair follows Daisy out. * [21:47] <Saburo> "Perhaps some happy medium can be arranged?" [21:47] * Daisy takes another puff, her eyes perk up.... [21:47] <Jordan> "If she doesn't go with us, do we get larger cuts?" [21:47] <Saburo> "An extra runner would be most useful." [21:47] <GM> * "I'm afraid not." * [21:48] <Dirk> "Of course not." [21:49] <GM> * The door closes behind the two elves and the Johnson chuckles, steepling his fingers. * [21:49] <Saburo> "Is it possible as a second -- but obviously less desirable -- option to extract the information without the scientist?" [21:49] <GM> * Mr. Johnson: "You will be paid upon delivery of Dr. Hall." *

. ..

<GM> * Daisy, the elf follows you out of the office and closes the door. As you head for the street, you hear a shuffle behind you. * <GM> * You feel a sting on your neck and the world goes black. * <GM> * You wake up in a Coffin Motel 2 days later, thankfully with all of your organs intact. * <GM> ((these guys don't fuck around, darlin)) <GM> ((with the knowledge you had you could have jeopardized the extraction)) <GM> ((so they put you to sleep))

. ..

[21:49] * Saburo shrugs. [21:50] * Nixie turns back to Mr. Johnson [21:50] <Nixie> "Anything else?" [21:51] <GM> * "Not unless you have any questions." * [21:52] * Nixie shakes her head [21:52] <GM> * He snaps his fingers and the ork to his left produces 4 datachips. * [21:52] <GM> * The ork goes around and places one in front of each of you. * [21:52] * Saburo slips the chip into his pocket. [21:52] * Jordan places the chip in his PS [21:53] * Nixie takes a chip and slips it into a tight pocket in her catsuit [21:53] <GM> * Jordan, as a side note you key up the photo you snapped. It's nothing but static. * [21:54] * Jordan makes a face and erases the picture [21:54] * Dirk takes the chip and puts it away [21:54] <Saburo> "I suppose we do not have much time to spend here." [21:54] <Nixie> "How long will it take to get to this facility?" [21:55] <GM> * "Well, we have tea and cookies in the back if you'd like to stick around here until the call comes." * [21:55] <GM> * He produces a cell phone from his jacket and tosses it on the table. * [21:55] <Jordan> "...." [21:56] <Nixie> "Well... it's not vodka shots... but it'll do" [21:56] <Dirk> "Tea is fine" [21:56] <Jordan> "Anybody have any tool boxes we can put things in?" [21:56] <Saburo> "I do not, so sorry." [21:56] <GM> * Mr. Johnson: "Dr. Hall will call for the repair crew on this line. Whoever answers, make sure you sound legitimate, because the call is most definately going to be mnonitored." * [21:56] <GM> * "There are tools in the van." * [21:56] <Dirk> "I've got it" [21:56] * Nixie nods [21:57] <Dirk> "Is our van marked?" [21:57] * Saburo picks up the phone and hands it to Dirk. [21:57] * Dirk looks for any labels on the uniform [21:57] * Nixie picks up a uniform and guages it for size to make sure it's tall enough for her [21:58] * Dirk takes the phone [21:58] <GM> * The uniforms are embroidered with "Schmidt's AC Repair". * [21:58] * Jordan places a bag on the table [21:58] * Saburo grabs a jumpsuit that is the right size and folds it under his arm. [21:58] <GM> * "The van is marked with the same logo's as your jumpsuits." * [21:59] * Jordan looks for a jumpsuit his size [21:59] <GM> * The elf from earlier re-enters the room, adjusting his suitcoat. * [21:59] * Nixie looks the elf over glancingly [22:00] <GM> * Nixie, you notice a slight bit of sweat on his temple. He is otherwise unfettered. * [22:00] * Saburo says to Jordan, "Is there any information on that datachip that is important for the moment?" [22:01] * Jordan scans over all the information on the chip [22:03] <GM> * Jordan, the chip contains the same information about Dr. Hall, and some preliminary info on Aurora Co.. It's a relatively new corporation that started about 4 years ago. They specialize in genetic research on plants and food sources. * [22:04] <Jordan> "Does someone want to go check out the place for security?" [22:05] <Dirk> "How far of a drive is it?" [22:05] <GM> * The Johnson stands up. * [22:07] <GM> * "I'll leave you all to your business. I wouldn't suggest rousing the suspicions of the security personel before you receive the call." * [22:09] <GM> * The Johnson leaves, followed by the ork and the troll. * [22:09] * Saburo bows, "Understood, Mr. Johnson. Goodbye." [22:09] <GM> * The elf stays at the door. * [22:09] <Nixie> "Sooo... tea, hey?" [22:09] * Saburo looks unwilling to discuss much in here. [22:09] * Dirk nods and looks for the tea to pour Nixie a cup. [22:10] <GM> * "Out back," says the elf, to your queries about tea and snacks. * [22:10] * Nixie goes out back in search of tea and cookies [22:10] * Dirk follows Nixie. [22:10] * Nixie looks down at Dirk, appraisingly [22:10] * Dirk smirks [22:10] <GM> ?is everyone leaving? [22:10] * Jordan follows the others. [22:11] * Saburo follows the others, reluctantly. [22:11] <GM> * The elf escorts you all to a back door and opens it, ushering you through. * [22:12] * Saburo walks through cautiously. [22:12] <GM> * You find yourselves outside in a back alley, and the elf closes the door behind you. * [22:12] * Saburo chuckles. [22:12] <GM> * You hear him laugh and it lock. * [22:12] * Jordan looks for the van [22:12] * Dirk too [22:12] <GM> * The van sits there about 10 yards away, with keys in the ignition. * [22:13] <Dirk> "So.. Who's driving?" [22:13] * Jordan looks around like "not me" [22:13] * Saburo goes to his bike and puts his jumpsuit in it. [22:13] <GM> * Saburo, the troll is still out front watching your motorbike. * [22:13] <GM> * He regards you. * [22:13] * Saburo nods to the troll. [22:13] <GM> * "Take your bike with you unless you want some junk dealer to rape it." * [22:13] <GM> * He leaves, stubbing out the cherry of his nicostick with the toe of his boot. You bring your bike around back to the others. * [22:13] <Saburo> "I will go on my bike." [22:13] <Nixie> "I don't think that would be a good idea" [22:13] <Jordan> "We need to go in together" [22:14] <Jordan> "It won't be convincing if someone rides in on a bike." [22:14] <Dirk> "Throw the bike in the van." [22:14] <Saburo> "I will not ride in the building with it, but I will not leave it here. We have time before the call to prepare." [22:14] <GM> * Your watches and timepieces read 8:30pm. * [22:14] <Saburo> "If it will fit, I will put it in the van." [22:15] * Jordan opens up the back of the van and looks around [22:15] <GM> * You see tools. * [22:15] <GM> * And seats. * [22:15] <GM> * And soyfood wrappers. * [22:15] <Saburo> "We must get to the building and check it out though. And a maintenance van arriving 2 hours before it is called would be a little suspicious." [22:15] * Jordan grabs a box and opens up his bag [22:16] <Jordan> "You can't just stand outside the building though, it would have to just be a casual drive by" [22:16] <Nixie> "and we were warned about arousing suspicions" [22:16] <GM> * You're stealing the tools, Jordan? * [22:17] <Jordan> ((nah) [22:17] * Jordan takes out some weapons and gear [22:17] <Saburo> "I agree, but casual drivebys in the maintenance van would be a bad idea." [22:17] <Jordan> "yes, of course, not in the van" [22:17] <Jordan> "I'm Jordan by the way, what are your names?" [22:18] <Dirk> "Just call me Dirk" [22:18] <Saburo> "Forgive me for my rudeness, I am Saburo Muranishi." [22:18] * Jordan looks Saburo up and down [22:18] <Jordan> "Born on the island, huh?" [22:18] <Saburo> "Hai." [22:18] * Jordan says something in Japanese [22:18] * Saburo understands it. [22:18] * Saburo replies in Japanese. [22:19] * Nixie holds her metallic pink hand out to Jordan [22:19] <Nixie> "Nixie." [22:19] * Jordan takes Nixie's hand politely [22:20] <Jordan> "Nice to meet you all." [22:20] * Jordan smiles [22:20] * Nixie doesn't squeeze him too hard

. ..

[22:17] <Saburo> ((Do we know the area and is there a bar or something nearby? )) [22:18] <GM> * You're all pretty familiar with the area, and there's a sports bar about 3 blocks away. * [22:19] <Dirk> ((are the uniforms like coveralls or are they normal clothing?)) [22:19] <Saburo> (( coveralls, seems like )) [22:19] <Jordan> ((I believe he said jumpsuit)) [22:20] <Saburo> (( yep, unfortunately... though some coveralls have holes for pockets. )) [22:20] <GM> ((coveralls and jumpsuits are the same thing...)) [22:20] <GM> ((overalls are different))

. ..

[22:20] * Saburo gets his jumpsuit out again and looks for pocket holes in the sides. [22:20] * Jordan pulls out a suit of form fitting body armor from his bag [22:21] * Jordan strips down and changes into it [22:21] * Dirk changes into armor as well [22:21] * Jordan 's arms and back are covered in Yak-looking tattoos [22:21] * Nixie tries not to ogle [22:22] <GM> * Jordan, you're cold as fuck. * [22:22] * Saburo tries to discern what the tattoos mean. [22:22] <Jordan> ((they mean he is a badass :) )) [22:22] <GM> * His tattoo's symbolize that he did a fair amount of dirty work for the Yakuza. * [22:22] <Saburo> "If no one else has a better idea, I will drive by the building and meet you all at the sports bar 3 blocks away to inform you of the situation." [22:22] <Dirk> "I'll stay with the van. I'll drive by the bar when I get the call. You three can hop in and change en route." [22:22] * Jordan puts on his other clothes [22:23] * Nixie takes off her coat and slips the jumpsuit over her leathers [22:23] <Dirk> "Pick a table near the window." [22:23] <Saburo> "You do not think it is wise for me to drive by alone first?" [22:23] <Saburo> "Nevermind, I misunderstood, so sorry." [22:23] <Saburo> "I will meet you at the bar." [22:23] <GM> * There are gloves in the van as well. * [22:24] * Nixie puts her jumpsuit in the van, and tries on a pair of gloves, before putting them with the jumpsuit too [22:24] <Saburo> ((Are there holes in the coveralls for pockets?)) [22:24] <GM> * Yes. * [22:24] <GM> * The jumpsuits have 6 pockets. * [22:24] <GM> * Breast, waist and cargo. * [22:25] <Saburo> ((I meant holes for pockets on your normal clothes, sorry. Like sometimes you can reach through to get at your pockets on your reg clothes.)) [22:25] <GM> ((unfortunately no)) [22:25] <GM> * The coveralls zip up in the front, though...so you can arrange to get at your shoulder holsters. * [22:25] * Jordan slips on his forearm guards [22:25] * Saburo wishes he bought forearm guards. [22:25] * Saburo puts his coveralls in his bike's compartment and gets on. [22:26] * Dirk changes into his body armor and has two small guns hanging from his belt. Dirk rips holes in the bottoms of the jumpsuit waist pockets so he has access to them. [22:26] <GM> * Dirk, you vandalize the jumpsuit. * [22:26] <GM> * You'll be unable to quickdraw with your setup this way, and also may have trouble with snagging when you do draw. * [22:26] * Saburo says something in Japanese waits to see if someone tries to stop him and then rides off if no one says anything. [22:27] <Jordan> "Good luck, Saburo." [22:27] <GM> * Saburo drives away. *

. ..

<GM> * Saburo, you take off on your bike. * <Saburo> I would like to locate the sports bar first. <Saburo> Avoiding the science building. <GM> * You find the sports bar about 3 blocks away. The name is "Dick's" and it's decor is color-themed with green and yellow. * <Saburo> How busy is the bar? Also, can I see the building from here and is it located near an intersection with lights? <GM> * The bar is pretty busy. * <GM> * Which building? * <Saburo> sorry, the science building. <GM> * The R&D center that Dr. Hall is at is located about 10 miles away, on the outskirts of Downtown near the docks. * <Saburo> I look for any abandoned buildings nearby. <GM> * None for about 3 miles from Dicks. * <GM> * And any abandoned buildings will house hordes of squatters. * <Saburo> Hopefully one is in sight of the R&D centre. <GM> * No such luck, there are no abandoned buildings around the R&D center. The R&D is located in an area of warehouses and shipping firms. There are numerous large lots, warehouses, factories, and things of that nature. * <Saburo> How is traffic? <Saburo> Towards the R&D building? <GM> * Not a lot of traffic. The occasional passer by. * <Saburo> Is the R&D building near an intersection? (Can I see it from here?) I start driving towards it at a medium pace. <Saburo> I'm just wondering if A) I can time it so I have to stop for a light in front of the building and B) if I can turn off onto another street and get 2 views of the building. <GM> * All the roads are pretty graphed out, running along every side of every facility, and laid out perpendicular to one another in an almost perfect grid. * <GM> * There are intersections all over. * <GM> * No lights, only stop signs. * <GM> * All 4-way stops. * <Saburo> "Okay. Well I'll go for it....." I'll drive past the building and observe it while I'm stopped. If I can, I'll time it so that another vehicle or 2 have the right of way before me. Then I'll make a turn so that I'm on another street next to the building. <GM> * No other vehicles are on the road here. * <GM> * The guards at the gate watch you obviously. * <GM> * There are two guards at the gate with patrolling sentries at all 4 corners of the fenceline. * <GM> * There are also guards at each corner of the square building. * <Saburo> Okay, well I won't dally, after I turn and go up the other side of the building, I'll go an extra block up (or however long it takes to get out of sight) and then circle back to Dick's. <GM> * You do so, I'll tell you when you arrive. * <Saburo> Did I see what the guards were packing/wearing at all? <GM> Obvious armor, packing machine pistols. <GM> A few had shotguns and SMG's.

. ..

[22:27] <Nixie> "So... Jordan.. bar? Is that the plan?" [22:27] <Jordan> "Yes." [22:28] * Jordan holds up a vest and a long coat [22:28] <Jordan> "hmmm...." [22:28] <Dirk> ((is there any way i can quickdraw weapons from the jumpsuit without just putting them in my pockets?)) [22:29] <GM> * Dirk, you could use a shoulder holster if you have one and leave the front zipper open a little. * [22:30] * Dirk does that then, disregard the pocket holes [22:30] <Dirk> [what did sab drive away in?] [22:30] <Saburo> ((Rapier)) [22:30] <Jordan> "You have to imagine they are going to frisk us when we go in to repair..." [22:30] <Jordan> "Are we going to try to knock them out when they do? It doesn't seem like it would be that effecient." [22:31] <Dirk> "Well, how do you propose we bring in weapons?" [22:31] * Nixie crosses her arms [22:31] <Nixie> "Some of us might not have so much trouble." [22:31] <Jordan> "I'm just saying we need a plan" [22:31] <Jordan> "What are your specialties?" [22:32] <GM> * You all stand there talking in the cold. * [22:32] <Dirk> "Well, I don't _need_ the guns" [22:32] <Nixie> "Neither do I" [22:33] <Jordan> "I'm not really a gun man myself..." [22:33] <Nixie> "What bar are we going to?" [22:33] <Dirk> "It's a sports bar about 3 blocks away" [22:33] <GM> * Nixie, you've been there. It's called Dick's, they have good chili fries. * [22:33] * Jordan takes out a telescoping staff and whips it around once [22:33] <Jordan> "I'd prefer to have one of these with me though" [22:33] <Dirk> "I'll leave the guns in the van" [22:34] * Jordan looks in the toolboxes for a way to conceal weapons [22:34] <Dirk> "I'll do better without them." [22:34] <Nixie> "I'll meet you guys there." [22:34] * Nixie strolls off [22:34] * Dirk gives his Super Shock and Palm Pistol to jordan to hide [22:35] * Dirk puts most of his light equipment on his shoulder straps [22:36] * Dirk fills his pockets as well with light things

[22:36] <GM> * Nixie, where are you going? * [22:37] <Nixie> ((to the bar)) [22:37] <GM> ((via cab, bike, or on foot?)) [22:37] <Nixie> ((3 blocks... on foot)) [22:39] <GM> * Nixie, you walk the three blocks on foot. [22:40] <GM> * The next street over is just as empty, but the second is more active. The street with Dick's Sports Bar is well-lit with a steady flow of traffic. * [22:41] * Nixie strolls her lovely self into the bar [22:41] <GM> * You walk into the crowded bar and hear bad country music and smell beer and food. *

. ..

[22:37] * Dirk turns to Jordan. "You should get going as well if you're hungry, unless you want to stay with me and the van." [22:38] <Jordan> "I'm staying with the van" [22:38] <Dirk> "Alrighty" [22:38] <Dirk> "So what's your specialty?" [22:39] * Jordan sniffs the night air [22:39] <Jordan> "I am one of those gifted with magical abilities"* [22:42] <Dirk> "So.. magic abilities.. do you have any..preference?" [22:42] <Dirk> "Don't know much about magic, so I don't really know how to word what I'm asking." [22:42] <Jordan> "Well, I'm fast, and I can get stronger... good sense of smell, overall athletic." [22:42] <Jordan> "Not the kind of fellow who can sling spells, though." [22:43] <Dirk> "Ah, so your specialty is combat?" [22:43] <Jordan> "Mostly." [22:43] <Jordan> "I think the way I was brought up made me internalize my talents to increase how physical I am" [22:43] <Dirk> "Alright" [22:43] <Dirk> "I'm more of a talker than a fighter." [22:43] <Saburo> (( "I noticed. ))

. ..

[22:44] * Nixie gets a table in the bar with her back to the wall and a view of the front door [22:44] <GM> * Nixie, you have a seat in the bar. * [22:45] <GM> * A young waitress comes up to you. She's petite with dirty blonde hair. She hands you a menu and asks if you'd like something to drink. * [22:47] * Nixie smiles [22:47] <Nixie> "Vodka rocks.. and chili fries" [22:48] <GM> * "Yes ma'am...Do you still need your menu?" * [22:48] <GM> * "Can I see your ID, too, please?" * [22:48] <Saburo> (( How flattering )) [22:49] * Nixie hands her a fake ID [22:49] <Nixie> "No, that's all thanks [22:49] <GM> * She reads the ID and hands it back to you. She takes your menu and hurries off. * [22:50] <Nixie> ((I'm 6'4", how underage could I be?)) [22:50] <Jordan> ((you're an elf... you could be very young)) [22:50] <Saburo> (( girls grow faster than boys, too )) [22:52] <GM> ((you're an elf)) [22:52] <GM> ((it happens))

[22:44] <Jordan> "I'm not too bad at talking myself out of some nasty situations." [22:44] <Dirk> "For the most part, i'd like it if you left the talking to me. I'd hate for us to get conflicting stories." [22:45] <Jordan> "Yeah, I try not to say too much when I don't need to." [22:45] <Dirk> "Good." [22:45] * Dirk gets in the van away from the cold night air [22:47] * Jordan puts on his secure vest under his normal clothes [22:48] * Jordan stuffs some weapons in a tool box under some tools and has another one ready without any weapons in it. [22:54] <GM> * Dirk, Jordan, you arrive and park. *' [22:54] <Dirk> i arrive where? [22:55] <Dirk> [i didn't drive anywhere] [22:55] <GM> * Okay then, you sit in the van in an alleyway. * [22:55] <Dirk> [i'm waiting for the call] [22:55] <GM> ((Well, it's 8:45pm...the call isn't coming until 11pm.)) [22:55] <Saburo> (( I should've gotten the cell phone #, idiot, grr )) [22:55] <GM> ((Your group did arrange to meet at the sports bar)) [22:56] <Dirk> [they arranged. i said i'd wait with the van and pick them up later. keep up] [22:55] <Jordan> "Eh, I'm gonna go to the diner." [22:56] <Dirk> "Fine." [22:56] <Dirk> "Get in." [22:56] * Jordan was already sitting in the van [22:56] <Dirk> [oh] [22:57] * Dirk drives to the bar. [22:57] <Jordan> "Maybe you shouldn't park at the bar." [22:58] <Dirk> "Don't worry about that. I'll park it out of sight." [22:58] <GM> * The sports bar is 3 blocks from where you held the meeting. The R&D facility is about 10 miles away. * [22:59] <GM> * Soooo... * [22:59] * Dirk stops at the bar and goes in, after taking off his jumpsuit and weapons and shit [23:00] * Dirk sits with Nixie. [23:00] * Jordan comes in and takes a seat with the two. [23:00] <GM> * You both have a seat. * [23:00] * Nixie eyes the pair of them.

. ..

[23:00] <Saburo> (( Damnit, no one took extra coveralls, did they? Are there any in the van? )) [23:00] <GM> ((sab, you have yours)) [23:00] <GM> ((and the 5th pair)) [23:00] <Saburo> (( right, but it would've been usefull to have an extra for Hall )) [23:01] <GM> ((you do have an extra if someone grabbed it)) [23:01] <Saburo> (( I don't think anyone did, sadly )) [23:01] <Saburo> (( oh well, he can have Jordan's. Jordan can fight his way out. :) )) [23:02] <Jordan> ((or sneak out...)) [23:02] <Saburo> (( extra jumpsuits would've been handy if we get hurt too, oh well. )) [23:02] <Jordan> ((hey, 4 repair men came in and 5 are coming out.... nah, not suspicious;) ))

. ..

[23:00] <Dirk> "Evenin'" [23:00] <Nixie> "Thought you'd abandoned me." [23:01] <Dirk> "We were enjoying the night air." [23:01] * Jordan sniffs the room [23:01] <GM> * The waitress comes back with your food and drink and squeeks when she sees the two new people. * [23:01] <GM> * "I didn't know you were expecting a party..." * [23:01] <GM> * She hurries away and grabs more menus. * [23:02] <GM> * She brings them to you all. * [23:02] <Dirk> [to waitress] "Evenin'. Scotch and soda" [23:03] * Jordan just waits for Saburo [23:03] * Dirk peruses the menu. "And... a club, extra mayo, hold the lettuce." [23:03] <GM> * She gets you all whatever you order. * [23:03] <GM> * "Club, no mayo..Got it." * [23:04] <Dirk> "That also works." [23:04] <GM> * "Oh, I'm sorry," she blushes, "Extra mayo, no tomato...Err, lettuce." * [23:05] <GM> * "It's my first week." * [23:05] <Dirk> "Not a problem" [23:05] * Dirk smiles at her [23:05] <GM> * "And you, sir?" * [23:05] <GM> * She looks at Jordan. * [23:05] <Jordan> "Lemonade." [23:05] <GM> * She picks up Dirk's menu. * [23:05] * Nixie sips her vodka and nibbles on her fries [23:07] * Jordan waits and waits [23:07] <GM> * You get your food and Saburo arrives. * [23:07] * Saburo enters and sits. [23:07] <GM> * It's 9:15pm. * [23:07] * Saburo looks for sake on the menu. [23:08] <GM> * No sake. * [23:08] <GM> * The waitress looks flustered when she returns to see ANOTHER new party member, and brings Saburo a menu as well. * [23:08] * Dirk eats some of his sandwich [23:09] <Saburo> "Tea please." [23:09] * Saburo hands the waitress the menu and waits for her to leave. [23:10] <SR-Dice> * She takes it an leaves. * [23:10] <GM> * Why, yes, she does. * [23:11] <GM> * So she's gone. * [23:11] <GM> * Now what? * [23:12] <Jordan> "So what did you see?" [23:12] <Saburo> [quietly ] "There are at least 10 guards in armor with machine pistols, shotguns, and smgs. There is one obvious entrance and no other vehicles in sight." [23:12] * Nixie munches and listens [23:12] <Jordan> "sounds fun" [23:12] <Dirk> "very" [23:12] <Dirk> "and that's just at the entrance, right?" [23:13] <Saburo> [quietly] "No abandoned buildings near the R&D Center, just other buildings and parking lots." [23:13] <GM> * She returns with your tea. * [23:14] <Saburo> [quietly] "Two at the entrance, four patrolling the fence, four at the corners." [23:14] <Jordan> "If you go busting in then, we're probably going to get killed." [23:14] <GM> * Waitress: "Ummm, anything else?" * [23:14] <Saburo> "And then the German says, "Pardon my French!" " [23:14] * Saburo laughs. [23:14] * Jordan smirks [23:14] <GM> * Saburo laughs like a small Japanese man. * [23:14] <Saburo> [to waitress] "No, thank you." [23:15] * Dirk chuckles [23:15] * Nixie shakes her head [23:15] <GM> * She nods and hurries off. * [23:15] <Saburo> "Is there any useful information on the chip?" [23:16] * Jordan looks at the information again for anything useful [23:16] <Saburo> "For instance, the floor that the esteemed Dr. Hall would be on." [23:16] <Jordan> "Already looked for that, no idea." [23:16] <Dirk> "when he calls us, he'll likely tell people to expect us" [23:17] <Jordan> "If he is setting up for us to come in to repair the air conditioning, I imagine he will meet us at some point" [23:17] <Saburo> "I wonder what the heating system is like." [23:17] <Dirk> "They should be able to tell us where the heating system that's broken is" [23:17] <Nixie> "The call should tell us that" [23:17] * Dirk turns to Nixie. "..or that.." [23:17] <Saburo> "Unless it's controlled from the basement." [23:17] <Saburo> "Or something equally as inconvenient." [23:17] <Saburo> (( /me stops giving the GM ideas. )) [23:17] <Dirk> "He'd no doubt complain about a failure near where he is" [23:18] * Saburo sips his tea. [23:18] <Dirk> "To do otherwise would be pointless." [23:18] <Saburo> "He is a scientist, after all." [23:19] <Saburo> "Speaking of science, I myself am a chemist." [23:19] <Jordan> "Good to know." [23:19] <Saburo> "Not many tricks up my sleeve tonight, unfortunately; but as we will be in a science lab, some of what I know may prove usefull." [23:20] <Dirk> "Good." [23:20] <Saburo> "And what are your... specialties?" [23:20] <Jordan> "Kicking ass and taking names." [23:20] <Dirk> "As I've told jordan already, if there is any talking necessary, please leave it to me if at all possible. No doubt that is why I was contacted for this." [23:20] * Saburo looks at Nixie. [23:21] * Saburo gives up and watches whatever game is on the monitors (sports bar, right?) [23:22] * Nixie looks back, mouth full of chili fries [23:22] <Jordan> "when the call comes, we shouldn't be in a noisy place like this, we should probably be in the van" [23:22] <Dirk> "I won't answer it in here." [23:23] <Saburo> "Good idea. Is there anyone who has a strategy at all?" [23:23] <Dirk> "I'm a step ahead of ya" [smirks] [23:23] * Nixie swallows what's in her mouth [23:23] <Nixie> <to Saburo> "what?" [23:23] * Saburo enunciates, "What do you do?" [23:24] <Nixie> "Fuck shit up... why?" [23:24] <GM> * The Seattle Devils score a 2 pointer on one monitor, while an Urban Brawler runs a man through with a chainsaw on another. * [23:24] <Saburo> "Because if you sold insurance we might want to rethink things." [23:24] * Nixie grins [23:24] <Nixie> "Good point" [23:24] <Saburo> "I was thinking perhaps we could give Hall one of our coveralls." [23:24] <Dirk> "And leave one of us to find our own way out?" [23:25] <Jordan> "You know, I might be able to sneak out if you really thought it necessary" [23:25] <Saburo> [to dirk] "It was just an idea, strategy is not my forte." [23:26] <Dirk> "I'm not saying it's a bad idea..." [23:26] <Dirk> "...but who is going solo?" [23:26] <Saburo> "I would imagine either Jordan or myself, depending on the size of Dr. Hall." [23:26] <Jordan> "What are the walls around the place like?" [23:28] <GM> ((there was a fence with razor wire)) [23:28] <GM> ((about 16 feet tall)) [23:28] <Saburo> "The fence I mentionned has razor wire and is about 16 feet high." [23:28] <GM> ((and the walls of the main building were walls)) [23:28] <Dirk> [i'm under six foot. short for an elf] [23:28] <Saburo> "I did not notice anything in particular about the walls." [23:29] <Jordan> "I'm sure I could get over that if they don't notice me and start pumping me full of lead" [23:29] <Dirk> "Did you notice any warnings on the fence, like about it being electrified?" [23:30] <Saburo> "The fence was electrified, yes." [23:30] <Jordan> "well, that could cause a problem" [23:30] <Saburo> "Does the chip say when the good doctor will be leaving?" [23:31] * Jordan looks at it again. [23:31] <GM> * No. * [23:32] <Saburo> "Is the chip blank?" :) [23:32] * Jordan looks to find anything at all itneresting or note worthy on the chip [23:32] <GM> * Hall's mug and vital info. Info on the Aurora Corporation. * [23:33] <Saburo> "I am assuming he will not call us directly. I am also worried about too many of us going in." [23:33] <GM> * Nothing specifically about your mission at all. * [23:33] * Dirk reads up on the corp info [23:34] <GM> * Aurora was formed about 4 years ago by an unnamed entrepreneur. It specializes in genetic research on plants for food creation purposes. * [23:34] * Quits: Nixie (~ladyink@h24-80-148-230.no.shawcable.net) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [23:33] <Saburo> (( What time is it? )) [23:34] <GM> * Time on deck is 9:45pm. * [23:35] * Joins: Nixie (~ladyink@h24-80-148-230.no.shawcable.net) [23:35] <Saburo> (( So which one is shooting at me and which one at Nixie? )) [23:35] <Nixie> ((SHOOTING?)) [23:35] <Saburo> (( heh )) [23:36] <GM> (((lol)) [23:36] * Saburo sips his tea. [23:36] <GM> (((karma)) [23:36] <Nixie> ((bastard)) [23:37] <Jordan> "So whats the plan, people?" [23:37] <Saburo> "It occurs to me that we are horribly unprepared for this run. Fake IDs, more information, would both be very helpful. As it is, I think we will have to pretend to be the maintenance team, we can say it's a serious problem." [23:38] <Jordan> "Well, yeah..." [23:38] <Dirk> "Of course we're pretending we're the maintenance team" [23:38] <Dirk> "Did you miss the van and the uniforms?" [23:38] <Saburo> "Sorry, sometimes I work with Trolls." [23:38] <Dirk> "Well, we're not trolls" [23:38] <Jordan> "Fuck it, we fake our way in, grab the target, and shoot our way out" [23:38] <Dirk> "They likely have metal detectors." [23:38] <Jordan> "We're maintenance men, of course we will have metal on us" [23:39] <Dirk> "Getting guns in will be difficult" [23:38] <Saburo> "...We either give the doctor one of our coveralls or we get him to leave and grab him once he's outside." [23:39] <Dirk> "Sab: He _wants_ to be taken..." [23:39] <Dirk> "That's the whole point." [23:39] <Dirk> "Why do you keep talking about grabbing him?" [23:39] <Dirk> "Did you even listen in the meeting?" [23:40] <Saburo> "The Johnson also told us there would be tea." [23:40] * Nixie laughs [23:40] <GM> ((lol)) [23:40] <GM> ((LOLOLOL)) [23:40] <Jordan> "Silly japs." [23:40] <Dirk> "But the whole point is he needs to be snuck out" [23:41] <Dirk> "..and going in with 4 maintenance people and then coming out with 5 will be suspicious" [23:41] <Dirk> "You can leave now if you don't want to do this with us." [23:41] <Saburo> "Does the negotiator always lose his temper so easily? I apologize for using the wrong word, can we move on?" [23:41] <Dirk> "You haven't seen me lose my temper. i'm just afraid you are not understanding the whole point of this" [23:41] <Dirk> "Which would be problematic" [23:42] <Dirk> "to say the least" [23:42] * Nixie finishes her food and sits back, sipping her drink, and listening to you all bicker [23:42] <Dirk> "Someone is going to have to sneak and/or fight their way out. I think that's the only way" [23:42] <Saburo> "We do not have 5 coveralls, so the point is moot. Assuming he wants to leave, we may be able to coerce him to leave the building where we can get to him more safely." [23:42] * Dirk sighs [23:42] <Dirk> "He has to be snuck out." [23:43] <Dirk> "This would all be pointless if he could just walk out the front door" [23:43] <Jordan> "Well, we do need to get some information from this corp as well" [23:43] <Dirk> "Which he likely has" [23:44] * Joins: McKenna (McKenna@64.240.54.193) [23:44] <Saburo> "I assume he has an escort of some sort which is probably not as well armed as the building and their guards. It's just an option anyway, and I favour the first approach of one of us sneaking out." [23:44] <Dirk> "Or at least has access to." [23:45] <Jordan> "I'm betting they have this place pretty wired up, don't know how we could sneak past all the cameras and such." [23:45] <Dirk> "I'm good with electronics. i might have the best chance of sneaking out" [23:45] <Saburo> "I have no skill in the areas of stealth." [23:46] <Dirk> "With my brains, and you're (looking to jordan) physical enhancements, i'd likely have no trouble" [23:46] <Dirk> "But i think i have the best chance" [23:44] <Dirk> "How tall is the building?" [23:46] <Saburo> "I could not count the stories, but the building is tall." [23:46] <Dirk> "Alright" [23:48] <Dirk> "So it's me" [23:48] * Nixie shrugs [23:48] <Dirk> "Does anyone want to stay in the van?" [23:48] * Joins: McKenna (McKenna@64.240.54.193) [23:48] <Nixie> "Would that be helpful?" [23:48] <Jordan> "I'm better close in if something happens" [23:48] <Nixie> "Me too." [23:48] <Dirk> "Just a thought." [23:49] <Saburo> "We might as well not worry about weapons as if we're frisked, Nixie's arms will give us away." [23:50] * Nixie sticks out her tongue at him [23:50] <Jordan> "She could stay outside and start blowing folks away if we have to fight our way out..." [23:52] <Saburo> "That sounds like a good idea." [23:53] <Dirk> "I'll still be sneaking out" [23:53] <Jordan> "Ok." [23:55] * Dirk eats and drinks [23:55] <Saburo> "The guards are human, by the way." [23:56] <Jordan> "I hope they aren't skilled" [23:56] <Saburo> "The taller the building, the better the guards." [23:57] * Saburo sips his tea. [23:57] <Dirk> "Nice motto." [23:57] <Saburo> "Hopefully it's a load of drek." [23:57] <Nixie> ((time?)) [23:58] <McKenna> ((1203 am est)) [23:59] <Dirk> [not you] [23:59] <Nixie> ((game-time)) [23:59] <GM> * 10pm * [23:59] <Saburo> (( hammer-time )) [23:59] <Saburo> "Has anyone looked at the tools.

We've got a heating problem and I need a crew to service it immediately. My work here is very important and temperature levels must be kept within certain levels." * [00:11] <Dirk> "Yes, sir. Is it a problem with the main system or just in your location?" [00:12] <GM> * "Just around my lab. I'll tell security to bring you in." * [00:12] <GM> * "This is urgent, I need someone sent over immediately." * [00:12] <Dirk> "Thank you, I'll send some guys right over" [00:12] <GM> * Dr. Hall: "Thank you." * [00:12] <GM> * click * [00:12] * Dirk hangs up [00:12] * Nixie pays the waitress for her meal. [00:12] <GM> * Done. * [00:12] * Saburo checks to see if the decals on the side of the van will peel off. [00:12] * Saburo also checks to see if there are any utility knives.

[00:18] * Dirk heads off to the place [00:18] <Saburo> I stash the coat in my bike and put on the coveralls. [00:18] <Saburo> ...and catch up to the van.

He also has a toolbox with tools, and his Colt Manhunter and a knife at the bottom. He has an extra clip for the Manhunter in his pants pocket. [00:20] <Saburo> ((No armour, sadly.)) [00:20] * Dirk gives his stuff to Jordan to put under the 3rd toolbox's tools (i'll list the stuff in a sec) [00:20] <Dirk> [electronic kit, grapple gun, stealth line, supershock, stun baton, scanner.... can that fit in a toolbox hidden under some tools? [00:20] <Jordan> ((wearing the armor I said before, one toolbox with whatever weapons dirk gave me, a telescoping staff and my ultra-power, and a secure long coat stuffed in another toolbox)) [00:20] <Saburo> "We can put my knife in clipboard." [00:20] <Saburo> "Or does anyone else have a use for it?" [00:20] <Nixie> ((how big is an armour jacket? like can I wear it under the jumpsuit?))
