Yeah, I'm trying to think of fun things to do with a road flare that won't get me shot.

In reply to A. Cruz (msg # 165):

Maybe burnouts or donuts in the street?

Or another Mr. Stud demo?

;)

Good idea.

Rolling a 1 is terrible in this system.

After finishing CP2077's main story quest, I've been tooling around Night City completing all of the crime-in-progress thingies. Today, in Wellsprings, I came upon a Valentinos crew looting a downed Trauma Team AV. Coincidentally, Kentucky cleaned up and went solo after his TT team was ambushed by gangers. And I thought I was being pretty original.

Re comms, Kenji has a radio earpiece. I assume that since this is the future, he also has some kind of fancy voice activated mic embedded somewhere (IIRC seeing anything like that in the CPR gear lists). Do you guys have radios too, internal or external? I'm just trying to figure out if we need to send texts or whatever, or if we can essentially communicate simply by willing it.

-

Whisper has an internal radio.



I've been assuming that implant radio = direct neural interface, so he doesn't actually have to speak out loud to transmit.

Hoping to get a post up tonight.  Drove home from the farm and then did taxes.
Is there a text emoji for gun to the head?

Lol

Some of Cruz's ideas are 02:20 am got up to take a leak and checked RPOL ideas, so just keep that in mind before you readily agree to anything.

They make sense to me.

So, we kind of have to wait and see how the van thing pans out, look for evidence that our target is being held somewhere else. If we find some, then we should probably do area recon at the new site. If we don't, then we assume she's in the Molt? Is that how y'all are reading things too?

-

That's my interpretation, yeah.  And with two of our faces known to at least a couple of the Maelstrom goons, we probably shouldn't hang around the neighborhood too obvious-like.

Just confirming the game plan:
1) exfil to a safe distance
2) monitor van situation
3) recon new site should the target vehicles move

How long would you like me to wait for movement?

I'm not sure how long it would be prudent to wait. In hostage situations, time is often of the essence. But we need to be sure where she is before we attempt to execute the rescue so it's a trade-off.

-

I think we're not gonna do a raid or an infiltration while the club is active.  Too many bystanders/witnesses.  So that kind of dictates that we'll wait until the club closes (and, in the meantime, get some rest in shifts somewhere secure).  Does that work or do you guys have other legwork ideas?

Good point. I concur.

-

If this were the 80's and just us and the badguys were on the only ones armed, then the classic gunfight in the club while loud music rages and bystander's flee could be cool.

But it ain't and everyone's packing pistols in calibers the 80's only dreamed off and even the bystanders and just a 0.1 shy of going cyberpsycho, so yeah, prolly should wait.

Okay,
I've set you a waiting point and left it open if you want to RP a little bit or have more questions you want answered.  If you don't, just let me know and I'll bounce the action along to preserve momentum.  No worries either way.

Nothing to see here.

Response in the other place.  :)

I don't often break the fourth wall, but I always do before knowingly trying to explain IC how fire works to a professional firefighter.

In reply to A. Cruz (msg # 186):

hahahaha

Just to be clear, you can enter the fourth floor without passing the shrine.  If you want to go up to five, it's rat skulls and blood for the win.

I was originally going to pantomime out my response, but I presumed it would be poor form to be the tech guy who didn't have kewl comms like you guys.

That was good for a laugh on what has been a very bullshit-filled day.  Thanks for that.
