The Caboose 2.0

Information known by someone that was, or is, in the group:

  • Someone, likely a corp, caught a bunch of civilians and placed them on a mock El-Train Carts (Three Carts made to look up like NCarts). Holographic projection of Night City, turbines to create the rush of sound, speakers, etc the works to give the illusion this was the real deal. This Mock cart also included multiple "gang" members that attacked the occupants of the cart. These Carts were in a large warehouse facility in the Combat Zone. SalaryMan had a small Favor with Mr Park (Militech).
  • the Battallion -- a Local Bar that a few of you hang out at. Prodigy did some work there for Barrage as some ways to make some eddies
  • You have a Dossier on Wells (http://wiki.rpol.net/?id=72735/Fargo%20Wells) and have been tasked to find him. To big things is 221 C Baker Street Location of Wells (Ex GF) and Fast Eddies Pool Hall in the Combat zone
  • Fast eddies Pool hall so far has been a dead end. But there still may be more there. Owned by a Toothpick (http://wiki.rpol.net/?id=72735/Toothpick)
  • 221 C Baker St is the location of Caitlin Jones (http://wiki.rpol.net/?id=72735/Caitlin_jones) There is more than what the eyes tell you to this woman. Her door picture was an overweight woman while the woman inside the apartment is attractive and knowledgeable. She recommended one his Dives (Fast Eddies) to start with.


If you think I missed anything or have questions on anything I'll take a look and see if you know more than I posted here.

I'd assume not, unless that would somehow make things easier.  Though I think Killroy was doing a good job eliciting at least the basic facts.

We will probably want to figure out if we're all co-located together nearby or scattered about, and if Killroy is wired for sound (so we can hear the conversation in real time).

I looked at it like that is what it would be really like, instead of game mechanics where we account for it all at once. It would be a slow, depending on use, degradation of your humanity as you realize you're that much faster than everyone.

Game mechanics wise it doesn't do as much as its described to do and show does with it as well.

I feel like Netrunners should be able to trace phone calls, but I can't recall if it requires specific hardware/software.

Though I suppose having it might also open up the option to an old fashioned con if one of us can pull off such a thing and we can figure out an angle for it.

As a note the level dampner would make all the noise quiet. You need the sound editor to be able to pick up the details.

Phoenix:
Phoenix knew there was a reason he invested in the Level Damper for his Cyber Audio.  Times like this would be it.  He gets up and heads for the doorway leading into the bar.
When he walks in, the smell and view hit him like a sledgehammer.  But, this would not be the first time ge has been hit with a metaphorical, or even a physical, sledgehammer.  The hold man manages to keep the contents of his stomach right where they belong, despite the rankness of the place.  He does immediately regret that Lady Koi had been the one to enter first.
Realizing that, with her appearance, the target's suspicions would be the last thing aroused, she had been the logical choice for first contact.  The target's now headless corpse, however, had completely ruined that angle of approach.
Now, he comes in to see if he can spot the Arabic man and intercept him.

16:00, Today: Phoenix rolled 18 using 1d10+10, rerolling max with rolls of 8.  Brawling-Bump Into Guy.

15:59, Today: Phoenix rolled 15 using 1d10+11, rerolling max with rolls of 4.  Awareness/Notice.  Spot the guy.

With Phoenix communicating via implant, there shouldn't be any issues with the aural environment right?

I believe the implant description states the user doesn't have to speak, but only subvocalize, which implies the microphone isn't responding to air coming from the mouth but likely vibration directly from the larynx.

I've never used a modern throat microphone, but they operate in a similar manner and one of the advantages is supposed to be transmission clarity in otherwise loud environments.

So assuming the operational principle is the same, and the music isn't so loud and/or at a frequency that is causing Phoenix's internals to vibrate in a completely uncontrolled manner, I figure there should be if not a full reduction in outside aural interference, at least a reduction of some sort.

Doing a bit further research on the Mastoid Commo (& the similiar cyberware) you still have to mutter under your breath to "speak". Which means its going to work better than say trying to talk into a phone but still not going to be perfect.


In that light give me an awareness/perception check to see what was understood

Still looking at options.

What's in this area of the CZ in front of the Garbage Pail?  Is there enough prosperity that there's any vehicle traffic or is the truck the Arab man going to the sole motorized transport amongst what is otherwise pedestrian traffic?

If a firefight breaks out (rare for the combat zone, I know) is there old broken down junk or other cover available besides hiding behind the corner of a building?

Pretty normal stuff. Right in front of the Pail, mainly people trying to get in, trash and refuse on the ground. Burnt out data term, street lights, etc. Likely a burnt out car down the street a little and some trash cans.

Some cover but not great cover near.




Making the stun recovery means you will be able to come to your senses and "come" back to the fight.

How are vehicles identified in 2020?

Are license plates still a thing?  Some sort of electronic transponder?


Basically, is there any way to capture some sort of information regarding the truck or its occupants, which could potentially be tied back to a person or identity?


Once the guy from the club gets in the vehicle, I assume they'll be gone as we don't have a personal vehicle, and there's no other functional vehicles around which could potentially be appropriated.


So that leaves either trying to dig up info later, or starting a shootout and hoping that works out in our favor, which I'm not super optimistic about.

I'm around, and I log in when I see the alert of a new post.  I know I checked in when Phoenix posted in the IC thread, but I'll admit I haven't been trying to give things a push IC or OOC while waiting for IC responses.

However unless you're interested in trying to revitalize the game through some sort of additional recruitment and maybe even a soft reboot I don't know that things will pick up.

I don't mind a slow paced game (and I'm rarely one to advocate throwing in the towel) but if it's not something folks are interested in trying to get back on its feet, it may be the better choice to call it done.
