would it be easier for me to roll the d100 on checks and such when you want to make actions, or would you rather you roll the d100. It would just save time as you would state what you wanna do, I would post the EF, then you roll it and post it and then I say if it works or not, it would jut cut out the middle

I am fine with that. Like in this case, I stated what I wanted to do and it would be quicker for you to roll.

Well sort of depends where 008 parked.

Price had gone back to his SUV parked near the entry and exit ramp.

If that puts him far out of position he would have moved after the red car and went. Based on our plan, the van should be parked on the opposite end of the garage, nearer the black pick up truck.

She will check with the other 2 rookies to see if one of them should watch the truck with the 2 gang members.

Sorry if it seems like I handicapped you while that all occurred.
But remember, your orders were to observe only. Several times you were warned not to interfere. And you do not have license to kill.


Harry, your post is fine for now, but we will be entering into a chase scene.

Few things I want to change for that for ease and play by post purpose.
Instead of the customary "bid" process which could take days just for one round. I want to take turns as to the ease factor bid. I will open up the first round "bid" that everyone's ease factor is set at.
Then one of you three can set the ease factor for the round for everyone. Then the next person and so on until it comes back to me if it goes that long.


In the chase, I will post updates for ranges as to how far away the cars are, using the lead car as 0 and everyone else based off that car
Example
Ranges
0 Mazda
1 Audi
3 Ferrari
3 Sub
4 Van




I will also post a notice with maneuvers and some other charts for those without the book so they know what they can do.

I hope she posts as she is best in position to help the informant get away.

If she doesn't, she will just be an npc agent.
She will try to stay in front of the enemy cars and behind the informant

Unfortunately Jessica. Because share is setting the Bid, you also have to make your maneuvers using ease factor 4 (prior to any bonus or penalty)

But that also means the bad guys do too

Rather than have an odd conversation in M's office. ;)

My thinking is we do not mingle at the block party. Rather we use it as a chance to have you slip into the building and get what we need. If we select the phone upgrade that copies computer files and the set of bugs, you can sneak in and get what we need unseen. That way we can show up at the black tie without tipping them off.

The insurance investigator cover allows us a layer of denial in case we have to deal with the cops.

Price is a blunt instrument, albeit a charming one. He is not much of a B/E expert, but if your character is compromised he has a very good chance of getting you out. Though a pretty girl sneaking around a biker club would probably be able to talk her way out of it, especially during a block party.

Harry has mechanic if one of us really has to find a way yo get a long term entry into the place.

But in the end the less they see of either one of us the better for the intial part of the operation.

That said if you want Jessica to use her charms to get into the place, Harry can provide security from a distance, especially if we manage that rifle, and the cavalry if things go poorly.

------------------------


As for additional gear, sort of hoping to talk them out of that rifle, be nice to have it on a nearby roof to cover your break in.

Plus, insurance claims will let them know people are starting to dig into them.
Granted they will know their job failed spectacularly but they still won't like people openly digging into them.

It is an open affair with public so mingling is real easy. And there will be chances to sneak in when someone isn't looking but only certain areas will be open to public.
The bar and the garage really are the only open areas

GM, would we normally discuss such things with M as rookies or would just a more senior agent basically guild us though ideas? I am fine either way.

Harry, that might be the way to go, me going in and charming my way around and if we have coms, I can open one to let you hear and if I get in trouble, you come charging in.

And I am the thief type also, so that works.

And if I could get some sleeping drugs, after talking with someone in the bar, we could end up in an office with some important information.

From what I've read in the books, when bond...not rookies...they don't really talk about rookies in the novels and such. But M always asks Bond what his interpretations are. And Bond usually throws out a suggestion on a way to tackle it. Then M tries to see what aid the division can give. With it being espionage, usually Bond is by himself and just bullshits his way into situations.

In my honest opinion, alot of the bad guys are just plain idiots. Bond says he's so and so from x company and they just say alright.


And like I've been trying to point out, this is happening in the next day or so, so setting up a series on contacts and false covers for gun sellers is probably the riskiest.

On a scale, me, as the bad guy, would view people making large donations as the least riskiest. Just casual people.

Insurance claims would be next risk factor. Me, as the president, know we messed up in Bremer and those cars are unaccounted for and we have probably had to make up some like at this point, a week past their due date.
And potential new gun buyers/sellers is the riskiest. This organization only is speculated to be in guns. No one has proof of it, and that is because they are careful who they deal with.


Casual civilians making donation. Best bet.
Insurance you will get face time busy risky
Gun sellers/buyers is the most risk but most evidence. If cover is blown, real bad odds.

I like the casual civilians the best though I see the risk as the same if we are discovered. Mad bikers are mad bikers. :)
