[20:28] <@BradGM> ++++++++Begin Transmission++++++++ [20:28] <@BradGM> +++ Beyond His Light: Footfall Pt II+++ [20:28] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: Innocence is an Illusion+++ [20:28] <@BradGM> +++Location; Poone’s Flophouse, room 409/410, Footfall Station, Furibundus system, Koronus Expanse +++ [20:28] <@BradGM> +++1032 Hours-Footfall Time++ [20:28] <@BradGM> +++As Mockingbird moved on deck, Grendel spotted a shady man observing them, before disappearing in the crowd. Lyra and Mira moved to find a place to set-up a base camp, the storm trooper finding with ease the name and location of Poone’s Flophouse, while the interrogator found herself in the arms of an old, dirty deckhand. [20:28] <@BradGM> Grendel scanned the local goods, finding numerous illegally modified weapons and cheap imitations, but also void suits of surprisingly good quality and workmanship. Renting what was claimed to be the most secure rooms in the place, Mira slipped a generous ‘tip’ to the manager of the flophouse to add both a degree of privacy toward their affairs and a semi-reliable watchout who may warn them of any trouble going their way. [20:28] <@BradGM>. Leaving the others in search of information, Grendel found temples of the Mechanicus, responsible for the proper maintenance of the station’s void shields. While he was busy acquiring a scantly detailed list of von Gould’s fleet and taking part in a shield calibrating ceremony, the women did not lose their time; Lyra ran a maintenance ritual on the cell’s weapons and Mira found a concealed, empty space large enough to hide a few sensible items if the situation demands it. [20:28] <@BradGM> They also modified a hand portable vox caster to act as a screamer system, connected directly on the cell’s frequency. Grendel later returned, after propagating the ancient ritual of the bulb to some Footfall ratings.+++ [20:28] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:31] * Mira_Atella finishes up with the door sensor before Grendel comes in, "Anything actionable?" [20:31] * Grendel returns to the flophouse, having already made Footfall station a better place, considering the data he's gathered. [20:31]  (( or rather, Lyra finished it, and Mira made it look pretty? )) [20:32]  ((Jury-rigging is a sacred art of the Imperial Guard)) [20:32]  (( Mira tucked the wires in ;) )) [20:34] * Grendel glances around and starts speaking in code. "The target is looking for the Dread Pearl planet." [20:35]  "Good. What do you know about it?" [20:35] <@BradGM> **Grendel, you do notice via your aupex that appared from a single person in 401, you have the floor cleared of residents.** [20:37]  ((That appared? Apart?)) [20:38] <@BradGM> (no, he's just in there, sleeping.** [20:38]  "It is the supposed treasure planet that Von Gould, Blitz and Freckward are looking for." [20:39]  "Other than that, just rumors." [20:39]  "The most instructive that the 7 witches will reveal the location to 7 Rogue traders." [20:40]  "sounds like Psyker heresy to me." [20:42]  "Well, Psykers aren't always wrong." [20:42]  "They are unlikely to be soul bound." [20:42]  "If Gould and Blitz have the same goal, and we can't find anything to turn us elsewhere beforehand, we should stay on the shiny ship." [20:43]  "We have what, two weeks to find more info? I gave them 3 days before we'd let them know if we're staying on. I know you can do that, Tin Man." [20:43]  "Set your odds, base your averages.. 3 days." [20:45]  (( Funny that over time we've mixed Batman and Wizard of Oz. Not just in those names, but a whole lot of stuff heh )) [20:45]  ((I thought they were leaving in like 5 days?)) [20:45] <@BradGM> ((his ship is leaving in 5 days)) [20:46] <Mira_Atella> (( I thought it was 2 weeks and I gave them a 3 day period to let them know if we were staying )) [20:46] <Mira_Atella> (( oh okay, still... 3 days )) [20:46] <Mira_Atella> (( Just hope it's not a phone ringing and saying 3 days )) [20:47] <Mira_Atella> (( because then the Ring people got it good with 4 days more )) [20:47] <Mira_Atella> (( NO matter, 3 days )) [20:47] <@BradGM> (IC please)) [20:47] <Mira_Atella> (( Last thing she said, 3 days )) [20:48] * Grendel activates the human interaction chip and runs the shrug routine. "I will attempt to try to find more information, but the data cogitators her are limited." [20:49] <Mira_Atella> "Then we need to find somewhere better. Calculate where we should head for given what you've seen while you were looking around." She stands and gathers the few things she had set down. [20:50] <Lyra_> "Do we know if the target has spoken to one of these seven witches?" [20:50] * Grendel reactivates the shrug routine. "Unknown." [20:51] <Mira_Atella> "Again, find somewhere better that you can find out." [20:51] <Lyra_> "Who would know the identities of these seven witches?" [20:52] * Mira_Atella stops and takes a few breaths, "Right. Source of the info." [20:55] <Mira_Atella> (( was going to try and watch my daily youtube stuff during.. patience isn't there.. music it is.. yoda me are )) [20:58] <Grendel> "The Mechanicus archives." [20:58] <Grendel> "Perhaps you would have better luck interrogating the Witches." [20:58] <Mira_Atella> "Isn't there where you were at?" [20:59] <Lyra_> "If I knew who they were, I might." [21:00] <Mira_Atella> "Or where." [21:00] <Grendel> "Why would the Witches be at the Mechanicus Archives?" [21:00] <@BradGM> **While the witches are spoken of in quinlan's files that info is from second/third had accounts** [21:00] <Mira_Atella> "Seriously? You're going to lose your brain now?" [21:01] <Mira_Atella> "Archives. Info on wtiches." [21:01] <Grendel> ((oh sorry. Brain dead player. Reading fail!)) [21:01] <Mira_Atella> (( she'd be bitchy either way heh )) [21:03] <Grendel> "It is unlikely the archives would have data on the Witches." [21:04] <Lyra_> "Fine. Who would know who the Witches are?" [21:05] <Grendel> "Unknown." [21:05] <Grendel> "Conjecture, Blitz." [21:06] <@BradGM> ((Locals might know something; Quinlan did learn about them after all, and he was in hiding .)) [21:07] <Mira_Atella> "Time to wander then. Give me a few." Busts out a disguise kit and sets to work from what she saw on the way, and through the scummy halls of the building. [21:08] <Mira_Atella> "Bodyguard, maybe dirty up a bit? You look a bit more pricey than people around here could get." [21:08] * Mira_Atella has another kit for helping with that. [21:08] <Lyra_> "Probably true." [21:08] * Lyra_ will scuff her outfit up [21:09] <Mira_Atella> "More pricey than even the cheapest of whores. Really, stop with the lotion." [21:09] <@BradGM> **roll disguise; don't forge the quality bonus and give yourselfes a+10 each for working to have a 'matching' set** [21:10] <Lyra_> ((what's the quality bonus?)) [21:10] <Mira_Atella> (( one for each, or one for both? )) [21:10] <Mira_Atella> (( they are best )) [21:10] <Mira_Atella> (( so 20? )) [21:10] <Lyra_> !dhroll 72 [21:10] <DiceServitor> Lyra_: 52 Success by 2 degrees! [21:11] <Mira_Atella> !dhroll 86 [21:11] <DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 8 Success by 7 degrees! [21:11] <Mira_Atella> (( the master has spoken )) [21:12] <@BradGM> **Mira is wahtever she can be, while Lyra looks like the down-on-her-luck merc with holes in his pocket and no job too crass looks.** [21:13] <Mira_Atella> (( should I roll mimic now? )) [21:13] <@BradGM> ((If you want to take another accent, yes)) [21:14] <Mira_Atella> (( k, still fel? and just straight? )) [21:15] <Grendel> "What should I do as you're exploring?" [21:15] <Mira_Atella> "Research. Get out there. Anything you learn could help." [21:15] <@BradGM> ((hmm..just fel+70 for you for the disguise to hlep 'back it up')) [21:16] <Mira_Atella> "Keep the parameters in mind." [21:16] <Mira_Atella> !dhroll 116 [21:16] <DiceServitor> Mira_Atella: 58 Success by 5 degrees! [21:17] * Jon_Wake (LukeProwle@50.42.137.155) has joined #shadowrun [21:17] <Mira_Atella> "Lyra, maybe not speak unless you have to. Grunts and nods?" [21:17] <Grendel> "Very well." [21:17] <Lyra_> "Hmph." [21:17] <Mira_Atella> "I've learned to copy accents.. only reason." [21:18] * Elttaes (Elttaes@424.sub-96-115-149.myvzw.com) has joined #shadowrun [21:18] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Elttaes [21:19] <Grendel> ((Brb)) [21:19] * Mira_Atella looks to Lyra, "We're out looking for a lost heirloom that may have been stolen and moved to a stockpile off world. Sound good?" [21:21] <Lyra_> "You're looking, I'm the hired help keeping you alive." Lyra grins [21:21] * Mira_Atella nods. [21:25] <Mira_Atella> "Tin Man. Location we should go?" [21:28] <Mira_Atella> "location of most probably result." She doesn't look at him while speaking. [21:28] <Mira_Atella> (( probable )) [21:29] <Mira_Atella> (( I know he's afk, it still makes sense )) [21:29] <Lyra_> ((whee...work stuffs!)) [21:29] <Lyra_> ((Ah well, at least I can usually play at work)) [21:30] <Mira_Atella> (( I have full reign to make decisions for her :D )) [21:30] <Mira_Atella> (( *runs and hides* )) [21:30] <Mira_Atella> (( Actually, it works since she shouldn't have to say much, just shoot if things go bad )) [21:31] <Jon_Wake> (( Exactly where are you guys right now? )) [21:31] <Grendel> ((Footfall Station, Mira's room)) [21:31] <Mira_Atella> (( Still in the room. Mira made up herself and Lyra to go in to the public as... not them )) [21:32] <Grendel> "Unknown." [21:34] * Mira_Atella stares at the ground for a moment, "You have all of the information. Give me a destination, or tell me where to go to find more information. Your calculations have never been so slow. Is there an issue?" [21:35] <Grendel> "Insufficient data." [21:36] <Jon_Wake> "If you're looking for not just heretics, but WITCHES, it would make sense that they would be in the darkest place in the station" Jon points out (as if he was there the whole time [21:36] <Mira_Atella> "Then.. GET IT. NOW." She glares at him a moment before walking out of the room, waving towards Lyra. "Keep me informed." [21:36] * Lyra_ will follow [21:37] <Mira_Atella> "Take that info in to conciliation." Her words as they leave. [21:38] <Mira_Atella> (( meant consideration, but yeah )) [21:38] * Grendel deactivates the human interaction protocols and goes looking for information. [21:39] <@BradGM> ((so where are you headed then?)) [21:40] * Jon_Wake goes to do what he normally does when the case has hit the ceremite wall: Patrol the streets, find some ne're-do-wells, and grill them for information [21:40] <Mira_Atella> (( out in to the general public until we can find out more, listening for anything helpful, not much else they can do )) [21:41] <@BradGM> ((You're in Footfall; the Judges don't really ahve the autority and backing they have in the Imperium..except if you go 'sneaky' like)) [21:41] <@BradGM> ((info on the witches?)) [21:41] <Mira_Atella> (( they're disguised, that was the point, yeah? )) [21:42] <Grendel> ((Grendel will look for signs of some sort of datacogitators that he might be able to access)) [21:42] <Jon_Wake> (( Yes, this will be on the "down low")) [21:42] <Mira_Atella> (( and Mira is waiting for more direct locations to look from Grendel )) [21:45] <Grendel> ((keep in mind this is a non-Imperial base, which means no station-wide cogitator engine to store all the information we need. Mira might have to ask people :) )) [21:45] <@BradGM> **Jon and Mira, roll inquiry; every roll is for 4 hours and you'll need 12 sucess in total; Grendel, roll inquire to get a reliable datacogitator located; rolls are for the same time, but need 8 sucess, or roll search -40, same delays, same DoS needed.** [21:45] <Grendel> ((Inquiry based on Fel?)) [21:45] <Mira_Atella> (( same question )) [21:46] <@BradGM> ((yes, fel)) [21:46] <Jon_Wake> !dhroll 81 [21:46] <DiceServitor> Jon_Wake: 99 Failure by 1 degree! [21:46] <Lyra_> ((Hmm.

[21:47] <@BradGM> ((11/12, and only 4 hours passed: Grendel for search yes)))) [21:47] <Jon_Wake> ((Are we sure Lyra isn't the Emperor?)) [21:47] <@BradGM> ((oh wait, Mira failed!)) [21:47] <Mira_Atella> (( Jex in disguise )) [21:47] <Mira_Atella> (( well yeah, I don't have the skill )) [21:48] <@BradGM> ((so 8/12)) [21:48] <@BradGM> ((you don't ahve inquire? a rank 1 skill or an assassin?)) [21:48] <@BradGM> ((or=of)) [21:48] <Mira_Atella> (( why would she need to inquire someone she's shooting from halfway across town? )) [21:48] <@BradGM> ((touché)) [21:48] <Mira_Atella> (( I can burn a fate to do a third try, yeah? )) [21:49] <@BradGM> ((nope)) [21:49] <Grendel> !dhroll 45 [21:49] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 28 Success by 1 degree!

[21:56] <Mira_Atella> (( Ask the big man )) [21:56] <@BradGM> **Jon, Lyra/Mira, you managed to get a rough estimate of the seven witches' location; it appears to be in a evade section fo the station, where even the lowest dregs don't even venture, you realise that the Seven Witches are powerful seers, respected by fear and awe of thier skills than by thier skills (which are known to be quote powerful). They shuns visitors and those who saw her and live meet them by appointment or being called.** [21:57] <Mira_Atella> (( there! )) [21:57] <@BradGM> ((yeah if you wqant to locate one; if not then drop it you got 3/8)) [21:57] <Grendel> !dhroll 45 [21:57] <DiceServitor> Grendel: 14 Success by 3 degrees!
