I'll jump out of Stalin and send him off down the road the last delivery was made in.

You don't see the van you saw before, anywhere on the route

Well, I'm kinda not in the mood to waste time looking for the guy, so anyone else just want to move on? We'd probably drag this out another week looking for the guy.

I concur - but let's avoid the spirits this time.

lol if you let me take it out first then it won't be a problem.


I should mention the 20th Edition rulebook modified the drain rules so after this I won't be able to cast such high horse spells. The spell I casted before would cause double digit drain, or close to it.

You can sit in my medic chair while you spellcast, if it makes you feel better?
I'll bring Stalin back and have him meet back with Lenin - then take a look to see how many security cameras are covering the back of the installation.

Don't worry, wont be introducing any of the 20th edition rules changes until the next run. I'll let you all know if there's anything that's different before its changed too.

Roll a perception test for it, Grimmie. If you are letting the drone check by itself, the dice pool is just its sensor rating. If you are jumping in, its your perception + its sensor rating. Don't forget the +2 if you are running hot.

EDIT: In case you were wondering, a listing of the rules changes can be found here.

Thanks Joose - Your instructions are far more simple than the rule book's.
My perception is 3, my LEBD's sensor is 3, and I'll go hot just to check, and pop out as soon as I've got my answer.
I take it my drone doesn't have a clearsight program unless I buy one for it?

Dice pool of 8.
1,1,4,2,5,6,4,4 = 2 hits, measly.

This is generally the case.

I am pretty sure they would know that another delivery was coming or not. Unless all pulls a good one then we'd be SOL.

I don't know, that's Al's wheelhouse. I say if he wants to try it, we'll go for it, otherwise, we should get our attack on.

Without giving too much of a hint, if you don't even *try* to bluff your way in, you will *definitely fail*. Someone make a bloody decision, or I will make one for you :)

Also, I was sure I had already responded to the camera spying, but apparently I haven't: the "back" of the place is actually the front of the business side of things. Its considerably more secure looking back there, with a couple of gate guards, multiple cameras covering all sorts of angles, and what looks like a heavy duty security drone parked up by the main entrance to the place. Without the ability to fly though, it would take a good ten minutes to get around the sides of the building, as it is up against other buildings on both sides. Its possible they can just come through the middle of the building though.

Well, our target is in room 3A. We need to get her out somehow. Unless you can talk her into coming, we're going to have to carry her out. I think we need to have Jon ready and waiting as close to the gate as possible, no matter what we do. I think it might be good for me to come with you so you're not on your own in there.

Joose, I've spent a fair bit of time in this sort of place I assume. What do I think my chances are of being able to roll up in the limo and make out I'm a corp wage-slave gatecrashing an acquaintance's party, with a little party money for the guard?

If you think you can get your limo inside, we could all fit in that, but otherwise I don't know.

If you guys are planning to crash the gate, you'd better beware of the earth spirit there. Without my help, Chopper would be the only one with a chance of killing it.
