[20:01] <@BradGM> +++6-9 Galleria: Escape from Servitown+++
[20:01] <@BradGM> +++Thought of the Day: The foolish man puts his trust in luck; the wise man puts his trust in the Emperor+++
[20:01] <@BradGM> +++Location: Rail train #3, wagon 2, going toward Railtown Station+++
[20:01] <@BradGM> +++10:23 AM (10:23AM local time)+++
[20:01] <@BradGM> +++Taking the rail train to Servitown, Hive Hoolok’s Facotrium sector, the group decided to debark at Station 4-F; the store district. There, they changed from their green prison jumpsuit to more civilian clothing. After negotiating passage in a shady alley, Grendel located a mean to reach Galleria, which is located in Hive City. But a inquiry about 6-9 Galleria brought a massive neuro-shock from the data-port, sending the Tech-Priest unconscious, and local enforcers closing in to arrest him, due to a blasphemous and illegal use of the numbers 6 and 9. After getting brought back on his feet by a bald man of questionable background, the group made their way to the rail station. Unfortunately, they managed to get spotted by Enforcers and a small and quick firefight erupted, leaving the 2 lawmen dead. As they boarded the rail train, quick thinking from Grim diverted the attention of Enforcer back-up long enough for the train to leave the station, with the group safely aboard, with newly acquired weapons, armour, and microbeads.+++

[20:02] <+Alaric> ((I saw the email btw about the cypher. ina few levels maybe))

[20:02] * Sturg (~Alex@200.49.191.31) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:02] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((my plan as well))
[20:02] * Lynata (~katsu@86-45-186-115-dynamic.b-ras3.chf.cork.eircom.net) has joined #Shadowrun
[20:03] * +Mira_Atella keeps her hand on the knife in her coat pocket, not about to relax even if they are moving. "That was too close, we have to be more careful."
[20:03] * +Lazerus_Grim reloads his new toy- he means gun
[20:04] * +Grendel` checks any map to see how long until the train returns to either sector, cursing the weak flesh
[20:04] * +Alaric sighs, checking over the pistol and gear he salvaged. "Any idea what to expect when we arrive at the next station?"
[20:04] <@BradGM> You should reach the next station, Railtown, in about 10 minutes.*
[20:07] <+Alaric> "Guess that's a no?"
[20:08] * +Mira_Atella looks to Alaric, "Who knows what information they got out, or descriptions, anything.."
[20:08] * +Alaric nods. "Let's do a quick search of the train. See if there is anything we can use."
[20:09] <+Grendel`> "Standard security probably, nothing extreme."
[20:09] * +Lazerus_Grim nods and heads off towards the back of the train, looking for anything of interest
[20:10] * +Alaric looks down the train, seeing if anything has been left.
[20:11] * +Mira_Atella looks around nearby her, but keeps looking back to the windows.
[20:11] <@BradGM> you go wagon to wagon: short of half a dozen hivers, you're pretty much alone; and other than dirt, old scarps of ration packaging, it's pretty much metal boxes with benches.*
[20:12] * +Lazerus_Grim returns to the group, shaking his head. "Nothing but hivers."
[20:12] <@BradGM> Mira, the tunnel walls skip past rapidly..Mira roll perception -20*
[20:12] <+Alaric> "Nothin here either."
[20:13] <+Grendel`> "To get through the tunnels we're probably looking at 3-4 trucks per convoy, maybe a dozen guards per convoy.

[20:13] <+HateDice> Mira_Atella rolls [ 24% (or Lower) : 04 52%, Fail ]
[20:13] <@BradGM> The only door you couldn't enter was the locked door at the front, where the train controls are.*
[20:13] <+Alaric> ((crap. afk AGAIN)
[20:13] <+Alaric> )
[20:13] <Lynata> ((Fate! Fate! Fate!))
[20:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( mm not right off like that, I used a first one too soon last time and needed it heh ))
[20:14] <@BradGM> ((if you want you can use a fate point; they are all 'reloaded')))
[20:15] <@BradGM> ((or not))
[20:15] <@BradGM> *The train doesn't stop: you should reach Railtown Station in about 5 minutes*
[20:15] <+Alaric> ((back, sorry))
[20:16] <@BradGM> ((anyone doing something or do we go on to Railtown?))
[20:17] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'm good ))
[20:17] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((to railtown))
[20:17] * +Alaric goes through the armor and equipment out of sight of the other passengers, making sure it is as spotless as I can make it. "Well, I have a complete suit of enforcer gear here. I could put it on I suppose or stuff it in my pack," he musses to himself.
[20:17] <+Grendel`> "Should we try 1-A the munition factory, or 1-B equipment and weapons?"
[20:18] <+Mira_Atella> (( do we have packs? I meant to ask that last time. I was assuming we didn't ))
[20:18] <+Alaric> ((we don't. I bought one))
[20:18] <@BradGM> ((nope; but I think Grim or you Mira bought a slingbag IIRc))
[20:18] <@BradGM> ((Alraic then))
[20:18] <+Lazerus_Grim> "We need to get to this 'Galleria' place. Obviously something is going on there."
[20:19] <@BradGM> ((nooo))
[20:19] <+Grendel`> "Yes, but the only tunnels I've found to the Galleria are from sectors 1-A and 1-B."
[20:19] <@BradGM> ((all is fine citizen!))
[20:19] <+Mira_Atella> "Personally, when we get to it, I think the place that makes the ammo is safer than the place that keeps the guns stored and ready to use."
[20:20] * +Alaric nods. "Let's hope we can make those tunnels then without incident.)
[20:20] <+Alaric> "
[20:20] <+Grendel`> "1-A is it then."
[20:20] <@BradGM> The Train vox comes to life: Next Station, Railtown."*
[20:21] * +Mira_Atella looks around the station through the window before heading for the door.
[20:21] <+Alaric> ((I guess I pack the gear away now, assuming it fits in the pack. if it doesn't fit, I'll wear it I guess))
[20:21] <@BradGM> ((if fits))
[20:21] <@BradGM> There's some hivers on the dock, but you don't spot any enforcers*
[20:21] <+Alaric> ((ok pack then.))
[20:21] <+Mira_Atella> "Looks clear for now."
[20:22] <+Grendel`> "Stay on the train."
[20:22] * +Alaric nods. "We'll need some food as well I think."
[20:22] <@BradGM> ((Note: railtown is where your 'home' is; the ammo factorium is Servitown 1-A station, which is the next one))
[20:24] <@BradGM> Yes, short of Grim, none of you haven't ate since..a while.
[20:24] <+Alaric> "I say we make a quick stop at those quarters. Grab the food and then continue on."
[20:25] * +Grendel` sighs softly over the frailties of flesh. "I suppose."
[20:25] <@BradGM> ((do note that this means catching the next train, in 48 minutes))
[20:25] <+Mira_Atella> "We might not have another chance for a while."
[20:25] * +Mira_Atella nods and heads out the door.
[20:26] * +Lazerus_Grim follow Mira out and toward their quarters, keeping an eye for anything suspicious
[20:26] * +Alaric get up and heads out quickly.

[20:27] <+HateDice> Lazerus_Grim rolls 1D10+5: 5 +5 = 10
[20:27] * +Grendel` steps off the train when it arrives, following the group.
[20:27] * +Lazerus_Grim pauses for a moment, then follows
[20:27] * +Alaric lets his eyes roam for trouble as he walks, looking for potential problems.
[20:27] * +Mira_Atella heads back to the hallways they used to arrive at the station, looking for the door they came out of. "I can't say I ever had any desire to come back here."
[20:28] <@BradGM> You reach your room, half way form the ceiling and the bottom; you came across very few people, as the place was deserted this time of the day.*
[20:29] <@BradGM> short of the 2 Tech-Enforcers at the station guarding the staircase to the Enginseer's office, you saw no 'law'*
[20:29] * +Alaric opens the fridge, emptying it. "We need to find a place near the station to wait. Without being noticed."
[20:30] <@BradGM> The fridge has half a pack of smoked grox, some bread, and 6 rations of corpse scratch
[20:30] * +Grendel` snags some of the grox, as well as pocketing one of the rations.
[20:31] * +Mira_Atella grabs one of the rations and a small portion of the bread, putting them in a pocket.
[20:31] <+Grendel`> "Staying here for most of the time is permissible as well."
[20:32] <+Alaric> "You sure about that?" He takes the rest of the food, putting it into the sack.
[20:32] * +Lazerus_Grim grabs a ration pack and pockets it, then eats some of the grox
[20:33] <+Mira_Atella> "We already know this place isn't watched, no cameras in the room. Just as long as we don't miss the train, he's right that we should stay here."
[20:33] * +Alaric nods and eats some of the bread while he waits.
[20:33] <+Lazerus_Grim> "The enforcers think we were in the ducts, so they shouldn't check here for a while."
[20:34] * +Lazerus_Grim taps the microbead in his ear, the one he filched from the dead Enforcer
[20:34] <+Lazerus_Grim> "However, I do hear that they are deploying more patrols to the factorium, so getting into those tunnels will be harder."
[20:34] * +Alaric has a bead in each ear, one they started with, once from the enforcer.
[20:35] <@BradGM> Alaric, what Grim said seems true: Enforcers are deploying patrols in the Factoriums, and into the ducts; for now searching Railtown doesn't seems a logical choice for them..for now.*
[20:35] <+Grendel`> "It is not unexpected."
[20:36] * +Grendel` looks around for a dataport.
[20:36] <@BradGM> Your room have no data-port: the closest one you know of is back at the Station*
[20:37] * +Grendel` sighs softly.
[20:37] * +Alaric sits and waits.
[20:38] <@BradGM> an hour passes; Grendel, you looses 1 point of fatigue out of 2
[20:38] <+Grendel`> ((cool))
[20:38] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Shall we just wait here until it is time to catch the train?"
[20:38] <@BradGM> ((next one's in 46 minutes))
[20:39] * +Grendel` shrugs. "Unless you have a better idea."
[20:39] <+Alaric> "I think that would be wise. We'll head to the train a few minutes early."
[20:39] * +Mira_Atella nods and takes the knife from her pocket, flipping the closed blade to pass the time.
[20:39] <+Lazerus_Grim> "Techie, if you make the same search from the dataport here, would that not draw some of the enforcer patrols here and away from the factorium?"
[20:39] <+Alaric> ((There is no dataport here))
[20:40] * +Grendel` turns his gaze on the man. "Perhaps." ((I'm just assuming by here he means the railtown))
[20:40] <@BradGM> Grim and Alaric: as you waited, you heard that the Enforcers spotted that the 2 you've killed did not have their microbead: someone speaks some sort of code and the transmission goes dead; Alaric, you can figure out that they changed frequency due to it being possibly compromised.*
[20:40] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((from the dataport near the train))
[20:40] <+Alaric> "They've changed the frequency on the beads. We should ditch them I suppose."
[20:41] * +Lazerus_Grim pulls out the microbead and crushes it beneath his shoe
[20:41] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((the enforcer microbead of course))
[20:41] * +Alaric drops it and breaks it as well.
[20:42] <@BradGM> ((breaking microbeads in front of the tech-Priest..heh))
[20:42] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((lol))
[20:42] * +Mira_Atella keeps an eye on the crono to see when they should leave for the train.
[20:42] <+Alaric> ((he could speak up ;) ))
[20:42] * +Grendel` winces as he sees the beads crushed. "Have you no respect for the Omnissiah?"
[20:42] <+Lazerus_Grim> "What do you say techie? Search from the dataport next to the train right before we leave?"
[20:43] * +Alaric holds his foot about the bead, ready to break it. "Do you have a different suggestion?"
[20:43] <@BradGM> Mira, wiht the time to get to the station, you'd say in about 20 minutes
[20:43] <@BradGM> ((no no, you broke it, you broke it))
[20:43] <+Alaric> ((ok, was trying to give him time to speak but ok))
[20:43] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to leave in about 20 minutes, unless you plan to do something with that dataport, then we need to leave sooner."
[20:44] * +Lazerus_Grim looks to Grendel
[20:45] * +Grendel` stares down at the beads, muttering something beneath his breath through his respirator.
[20:45] <+Alaric> "Perhaps you could offer a different alternative next time." He nods. "We should move on then."
[20:47] <+Lazerus_Grim> 1d10+5
[20:47] <+HateDice> Lazerus_Grim rolls 1D10+5: 2 +5 = 7
[20:47] * +Grendel` continues to mutter as he casts around, finally sweeping the parts of the broken microbeads up and pocketing them.
[20:48] <@BradGM> The hab blocks seems more deserted than when you came in: as it is nearing noon, people are gathering inside to eat.
[20:49] * +Alaric will leave and head down to the platform in time to catch the train.
[20:49] <+Mira_Atella> "We should get moving."
[20:50] * +Grendel` ignores the group but moves out, heading for the platform.
[20:50] * +Lazerus_Grim nods and stands, motioning for Grendel to lead the way. "To the dataport."
[20:50] * +Mira_Atella exits the room and heads back to the train platform.
[20:51] <+Lazerus_Grim> ((Grendel, maybe i missed it, but are we going with the diversion of the dataport?))
[20:52] * +Grendel` moves over to the dataport (how long till the next train?))
[20:52] <@BradGM> ((a couple of minutes))
[20:52] * +Grendel` looks for alternate routes to the Galleria from here.

[21:03] <+Grendel`> "Ask the preachers for Enlightenment, the tenants of the Omnissiah are beyond you."

[21:28] <@BradGM> it's a standard key hole: pick-locks would be better suited than the Omnissiah here.

[21:44] <+Alaric> "
[21:45] <@BradGM> inside the locker, is a air vent, large enough for a man to crawl into: you can also feel air, fresher air, coming form within
