Re: OOC6: Because

He would probably rather stick with White Duck.  He wouldn't know if anything went wrong in the other room otherwise.  And that could be a problem if there are multiple entrances.  At any rate, he didn't know the radios would be cut off until he was already in the room anyway, and if someone opens the door to come in it should reestablish a connection.

Re: OOC6: Because

Entrances to the building itself are all covered.  Valid point about him not being aware of loss of radio contact until it was already gone though.

Re: OOC6: Because

I thought Caduceus was in the room as well, actually.

I'm noticing that you guys have really high-volume posts compared to my own. I don't mind adding more, but I'm still adjusting to the pacing of the game, so thanks for your patience with that folks.

Re: OOC6: Because

Indeed.  Somehow 2 hours of geo-caching doesn't quite compare . . . :>

Re: OOC6: Because

I do really need to take the kids geocaching. It's tough with twenty boys though.

Last weekend we did our 'survival' campout. The boys built shelters and our two dens signaled each other with mirrors and whistles from about a mile away.

Re: OOC6: Because

I hope you don't mind if I just alter my post, so that I'm sitting in the van with Copperhead.  Papa Bear has a point, I don't see how me decking in a remote location to a place I don't know the address for would help us in anyway.  So can I alter my post?

Yup! Thanks for the head's up (it gets tough for me to track posts if they're altered after-the-fact, even if I haven't put up my next story post yet).

I think Copperhead's going to insist on tweaking your deck soon :>

Re: OOC6: Because

With all the money I've earned, I haven't spent a single nuyen since this is my first time playing a decker and I don't know what to buy with the money.

Re: OOC6: Because

I would recommend donating to a charity.  I've heard great things about the church of Caduceus...

Either that or a submarine.

Re: OOC6: Because

Alcohol and drugs should be used for sterilization and pain-relief.

Would I be allowed to attack multiple sites in the matrix with 'moar datajacks'?

I doubt they do the whole trade in your old deck to serve as a discount for a new deck kinda thing...not enough money anyways.  Will consider programs though.

Church of Caduceus will need to offer favors in return for donations...

I did once consider buying a ship instead of a submarine.  Unfortunately, the ship was way too expensive and the availability rating was abnormally high...

Re: OOC6: Because

Man, we could become a deep sea pirate/salvage crew, but that would require that we all dress like pirates.

Only if you installed an extra brain too . . . ;>

Copperhead might pay you some for your old stuff when you do decide to upgrade.  She won't be nearly as effective as you, but having a second decker might be handy if you ever need to be in two places at once or need back-up when you're online for some reason.

@White Duck: An eye patch would look totally appropriate on Copperhead . . .

Re: OOC6: Because

Lols, my idea with operating on different sites at the same time was that I would be multi-tasking in some sense.  That, or I develop a case of multiple identity disorder.

My initial idea for the ship was to try and obtain and or remodel a used cargo ship.  That way, there would be plenty of space for everything.  We could alter certain parts of the ship to hold vehicles of transport, whether they be flying, on the road, or even in the water.  We'd also have plenty of space for living quarters, so the whole ship could accommodate the crew.  This way wouldn't we be dependent on lifestyle to a certain extent.  The ship could also serve as a means of transport, should we ever get a job like that on the sea.  (Kinda like the mission where the old crew invaded a ship and Thaden surviving a missile attack.)

BUT, that is probably a pipe dream considering the amount cash needed to buy a place like this, and the availability rate is quite high.

Re: OOC6: Because

Well, doing a dry-docked ship as one of your "lifestyle" residences is certainly possible.  Something along the lines of the home base from Shadowrun Hong Kong :>  And a GM might let you get away with one that could sail if he thought it'd be amusing.  (I can certainly imagine lots of things to do to a non-trained runner crew trying to ply the seven seas :>)  Given that we're playing the canon games, I doubt there'll be much in the way of sea excursions. . .

Re: OOC6: Because

Not sure I will be able to post (from my phone) before Sunday night, but Caduceus is still just observing the negotiations right now anyway.  So don't wait on me if you are ready to move forward before then.

Re: OOC6: Because

<waves from the sidelines>
Just as an update, I've been doing well with my apprenticeship classes. Got 100% on 3/4 of my quizzes, and a 108% on the section test. Work is... time consuming, but I got put on a different work team now so I can shower and eat more than PB&J for dinner 2 nights a week.

Also, pleased to see the name Caduceus. Been one of my favorite little EMS... jokes? for a while.
The Caduceus (twin serpents wrapped around a rod) is the symbol of Hermes, god of (among other things) commerce, trickery, and salesmen. Hermes also stole practically every power/domain he has.
The Rod of Aesclepius (single serpent wrapped around a rod) is the ancient symbol of medicine, based off of the purported healing power of snakes.
In the modern US, the Rod is used by civil medical services, and the Caduceus is used by private medical practices. So in effect, private medicine is a guild of merchants whose patron (more recently) stole more power from Apollo.
