Limit of Infinity: A Shadowrun RP (Game thread)

[Redryhno]

"Three jobs; burning a building down, stealing what I assume is sensitive material and then blowing a guys head of. Whose in what?"

"I'd say wait a bit kid, we've got a damn room in the back for us to discuss everything that needs to be known about each other can be said there. Out here, we're still in the public eye,ear,nose, and fucking throat."

 

[Gabanuka]

"I'd say wait a bit kid, we've got a damn room in the back for us to discuss everything that needs to be known about each other can be said there. Out here, we're still in the public eye,ear,nose, and fucking throat."

"Have you looked around? Ain't no one here beyond us and the serving staff and I'm pretty sure they're to scared to even come close. And don't call me kid."

AS he spoke he changed his face back to the old grizzled cowboy, no one would listen to the face he as just using.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Anyone here with any experience in infiltration and or corporate espionage?" Asked Roberts, as he tried to organise the group into an effective unit, assigning them tasks that would compliment their unique abilities.

"You know Roberts, I can handle being in any of these three tasks. But, I am most suited for dealing with the target. As someone of the assassin profession, infiltration happens to be one of my best qualities. I also have some skills in hacking, which could make for navigating the security easier." Sebastian said, commenting on his overall usefulness to the mission at hand. He then sat back, and asked Finwe a question quietly.

"So Finwe, which job are you going to partake in?"

 

[drmigit2]

Venaticus watched as everyone got the impression that the NeoNET HQ had to be destroyed for some reason. Which was entirely untrue given what he had said earlier. The investigator stood up and said.

"There is no reason to burn the whole building down. The data we are destroying needs to be destroyed by hacking in to a computer and wiping all the hard drives, backups, and backup backups. Simply leveling the building will be a setback, but it won't accomplish what we are hired to do and Tanaka said himself that the building does not need to be leveled. I and any other computer hacker should lead the data destruction as several of us working on it at once would be ideal. I can also find any data we require while I am doing that. When it comes to the assassination deal, I can give you guys insight on the interior but I refuse to go along for that. The corporate espionage has to be done quietly and efficiently, adepts blowing the place up and causing mayhem would only be a hindrance, not a help."

 

[Terratina.]

Mages, assassins, snipers, brawlers, and killers. Charlie thought, Where did he find in?

"Anyone here with any experience in infiltration and or corporate espionage?"

Like the rest of them, he was nervous about talking about his weaknesses and strengths. However, it was nearing 3AM, when even the most hardcore of clubbers took off. This club was owned by the employer of the Johnson, he would make sure the Raven Club was a safehouse for the group. Charlie gave a shrug, then took a sip of sake. Might as well give teamwork a shot, even with a team like this. For this job to work, they had to know his abilities and he had to know theirs. Might as well spill the beans.

"I could charm the pants off your mother, I have experience of boardroom politics and whatnot, I know people in NeoNET and could probably save you a lot of ammo." Marlowe said, "But I ain't much good for anything else."

Pity this wasn't a kiss and tell session, Charlie would have them beat by miles, no contest. With this contest, even he wouldn't bet on himself.

He was over-hyping his abilities, sure. But wasn't everyone else doing the same?

 

[Gabanuka]

Roberts looked the Hispanic man up and down

"And how do you suggest we get into the building? Given time and the right S.I.N I could get myself inside easily but then there the issue that I cant hack for shit. Frankly blowing the place up would make life a lot easier. As for you Mr Shade" He turned to the man "surely your expertise are in the final job?"

 

[Floris2123]

Finwe whispers back.
"I dont know, I think in all of them people are going to get hurt. So I dont really care all that much where i am going to help. But I think I wouldnt be much help with the hacking part. Which part of the mission are you going to take part in?"

 

[Redryhno]

"Kid, you took the face of a kid, therefore that's more than likely your real face. I've been to enough bars,strip joints, clubs, and street raves as the next guy to know that there's almost always someone watching. Now how about everyone that wants in on the nuyen go with Tanaka-san and talk in the back room, where we at least know who's listening to us?" Wulf stood and turned to Tanaka-san before giving him the normal farewell/going with you gesture he normally gave to Tatewake.

The place was still pretty packed from his point of view, and considering this was a runner hideout, most of them probably were here for one job or simply exchanging information.

"This isn't some club with whiny civies or corp cunts wining and dining...Whatever your name happens to be. Over there, that little human woman,"He jerked his head towards a woman in the back, pretty, but not overly so, sitting across from an old, grizzled troll,"She's got more tech than most of you combined, eyes,legs,spikes,and smartlinks are just the beginning, no normal person has that, and if she were high corp, she wouldn't be caught dead here in the same room as Tanaka-san, considering that tattoo on her ankle," He gestured in a completely different direction, towards another troll,"He's big,tough, and he knows it, but he's got dirt, grime and dust covering his clothes and he doesn't have any chrome, now what troll on the streets doesn't have any of that stuff, but can afford the drinks he's been getting and the gold tips on his horns? My guess is that he's a street shaman, Rat or Crocodile, maybe. This is not the place that has the best security in it's main areas. This is not the place we want to be talking. Kid."

 

[drmigit2]

"And how do you suggest we get into the building? Given time and the right S.I.N I could get myself inside easily but then there the issue that I cant hack for shit. Frankly blowing the place up would make life a lot easier."

Venaticus turned to Roberts and stated coldly. "Obviously you just ignored me, but blowing it up won't destroy the data, and would be a mere setback for a large corporation such as NeoNET. I can get in there fairly easily as I have to floor plans, a security suit from the building and I also know when they come in and out. Let's just say I used to work for them before I got tired of their methods. Once in, the hard part is to go around mostly undetected, knocking out any guards we come across silently and then getting to an executive's computer. Those will have the access codes and be secluded from most of the guards. There we can get the data we need, then destroy everything else. Simple."

 

[Gabanuka]

Roberts remained seated while addressing the elf

"You left off the black guy in the far corner with the Level 2 Vision SPU and the Cyberfinger Lockpicks. Do not talk to me about augmentations Fluffy, given that I'm currently 80% tec you're a bit out of your league on the subject. Obviously you've noticed that no-one in here has anything to improve their hearing and since they're currently about 50ft from us we wont be overheard. The names Roberts by the way, you look like you've been in the game awhile, I'm sure you've heard of me"

Spoiler: ooc

I'm confused, my introduction thing said no one was in the room aside from 12 large asians and a waiting staff. Whatever.

 

[Redryhno]

The names Roberts by the way, you look like you've been in the game awhile, I'm sure you've heard of me"

"Just gave a few musings, Roberts, nothing beyond that. The fact that you're as chromed as you just means you've got a rich uncle, kid, not that you know anything about it. And no, I haven't heard of you.And you call me fluffy one more time, and you'll have substantially less chrome soon enough, the name's Wulf, and don't forget it."

Wulf began walking towards the room Tanaka-san said the meeting would take place once the runners finished accepting the job. Whatever happened next didn't matter, but he had no intention of showing the Edge kid his back, the Cutters and Ancients might have peace right now, but wars had started over distributors enough times that a killing would just give another reason profits to go down.

Spoiler: OOC

It's a club, alot of stuff doesn't normally start happening until after midnight here, and it goes until dawn alot of the time. People often times don't leave until they either pass out and are thrown out, or, they're so jacked up on sim chips they don't know where they are until the experience ends.

 

[Nooners]

Nolan sighed. So much infighting and dick-measuring, and Tanaka was still in the room.

"All we need to know now is if you're on board with the job or not!" he snapped over the bickering. "Wait until we know who all is in, then what they can do, and then we'll figure out specifics! Keep the planning quiet until then!"

 

[Gabanuka]

As Wulf walked away Roberts turned his head towards him

"You call me Kid one more time and you'll end up looking like a hairless cat. Also I recommend you do a web-search once you get home, might help to know who you're working with."

Roberts had noted Wulfs reaction to his last sonic pulse, he drew a tiny disk from his belt and gently threw it out the window onto the mans coat, in about 3 minutes it would go off, hopefully just when Wulf away from him. He turned back to the table to address the other man speaking

"In that case I've got dibs on your team, anyway you can get me an employees S.I.N? You seem to know the place well."

Spoiler: OOC

I assume your back is turned so you wouldn't of noticed the throw. More fun if you dont either way

 

[Malyc]

"The data archive has only one entrance and exit, a main gate. Only guards, maintenance personnel, and certain executives have access. As for the target, I will let you know after I see who has accepted my proposal."

That gives me an opportunity... Avalanche thought to himself. If I can get one of the guards to believe I'm a simple dog - which shouldn't be all that difficult, considering - I could get an opportunity to knock him out... He was already planning where to set up for the info-gathering that he'd have to do, likely from a park or an alleyway close enough to NEONet that he could monitor the comings and goings, shift changes, and security strength around the building. I'll probably have to head there right after this meeting is over, that'd give me the greatest amount of time to gather intel.

He continued to silently observe the interactions between the other runners and Mr Tanaka, as well as his body guards. Avalanche tried not to let a grin show when he overheard Edge get shot down by the girl, who was apparently Tanaka's daughter. Careful, pup... That's a dangerous road to travel on.

Avalanche feigned disinterest, until Roberts and a man who introduced himself as Wulf got into another altercation. Meta-Humans... He thought. Worse than coyotes, always fighting over every little thing that goes by. It's a wonder there's so many of them. As Wulf headed for the room where they were to discuss the fine details of the operation, Avalanche noticed Roberts throw a small object after him. Hmmm... Perhaps Roberts is the culprit in the glass breaking caper... I'll have to confront him about that little bit of unpleasantness...

 

[Asclepion]

What Taylor felt, as best as she could describe, was uncertainty. These corporate officials were not good men, and she had reservations for much of the team. Everything was foreign-and not just the location, but the things you couldn't see. How these people thought, talked and acted was wholly unlike her. But she had never doubted the lead shamans- they had chosen her of all their resources. There must be some reason, some element that made her the best option. But what exactly it was was elusive.

She drew back on the memories of her own corporate life. As severe the rejection of her old life was, it couldn't be denied that that environment would benefit her, now that she would be immersed in it. Ironically- from the other direction. Where as before her caretakers had worried about outside intrusions, the outsider was now her role.

She listed as her homrades began to reveal their own skillsets. Taylor was hesitant, understanding the fears of the unenlightened, and didn't want to reveal too much to begin. But how to put it to words? What can I do?

I have a shared affinity with the most successful forms of life on Earth. over 750,000 living species have been identified- Of all the millions of animals on our planet, eight out of every ten are some kind of insect. Moreover, this order has been blooming since the Carboniferous at least, and shows no signs of slowing. In a world where wolves are literally going extinct from habitat loss, an entire universe of tiny life thrives around us. And though a wolf may bite, perhaps even kill- locusts destroy nations, malaria and plague eradicate whole societies, bees pollinate your flowers, and your ancestors worshiped the scarab, all with indifference of the human world. They embody an earthiness, a strength of survival, a genetic vessel endlessly weird and amusing. And an untapped power, for their spirits surround me.


"I can fly." She said. "I can get inside."

Save the AI as a mind-state. Enter the facility with it on her body.

 

[3quency]

"I'm also assuming that the sniper guys are going to take down the target, amiright?

"That'd be a dumb move. I'd suggest having one of us cover the B&E team, the other concentrating on the target. Better to have it 'n not need it than need it but not have it."
Nik looked back at the Johnson.
"Given I'm in."

 

[mextliloco]

Jamal had accepted Mr. Tanaka's offer and was waiting for everyone to make their decision. He watched the young gangster get shot down by their employer's daughter.

"Not the best way to endear yourself to our employer. Guess he is just lucky she didn't gut him herself.

When Mr. Tanaka indicated that their facilities were in the back he rose, rubbing his jaw. Hearing the argument between the gangster Wulf that had scuffled with the loverboy and with the chromad shapeshifter named Roberts.

"Wulf over there is right. Over 40 people have entered this bar in the last 15 minutes and more than a few of them have their hearing augmented one way or another. Any further discussion should be taken to the back."

 

[Terratina.]

"Any further discussion should be taken to the back."

Yet another orc. Still it was better than having a squad of full those...furry...elf...things, or whatever Wulf was. Might as make friends with this one and score points with Wulf, after all Marlowe's life was a life of compromise.

"I'll wait in one of the backrooms until everyone makes up their minds to discuss further planning." Charlie said, gesturing to the backroom with a big round table laden with technology and other guff. "Caution ain't gonna hurt us any. And I think the air is getting a bit stuffy here, so to speak."

He sat and he waited.

 

[Gabanuka]

"I can fly." She said. "I can get inside."

Roberts gave the girl confused look for about 5 seconds before speak.
"And how would you go about that? You dont seem like the regular mage type but I can sense some magic about you, shaman I suppose? Well no offence princess but I don't know how much use a wolf spirit will be when it comes to flying"
He began snapping his finger out of boredom, with each snap a small flame jumped out of the tips.
"and even if you can call some kind of bird it wont exactly be a subtle entrance"

He turned to face the Orc
"You see this eye?" He said with a point to his left one "This thing cost more than most people make in a lifetime, it can scan for any tec, weapon or augmentation and give me accurate info. People have walked in with hearing augmentations, if you want I can tell you the exact brand; thing is half of them are turned off and the other half are so outdated all they'll give is static. What few are actually working are being used by people around this table or by people who dont give a fuck about what we're running since they're runners themselves. If it will put your pretty little head at ease we can move into the room if you like but frankly I'm comfortable here"

Spoiler: occ

This is like the one thing my character is meant to be good at, hes shit at almost everything that isn't augmentations, can you at least give me that?

 

[mextliloco]

"I have "eyes" too and let me tell you something; technology is not the only way to augment one's hearing. You can be as comfortable out here as you please. The comfortable ones usually end up dead."

Spoiler: ooc

one can magically boost their hearing that's what cross is referring too.
