Nina and Vollo: Rat Rump

GM: Nina Players: Vollo, Nina Synopsis: Nina and Vollo are in the Souk marketplace when Terry Gilbert, the used cellphone vendor (Nina +sheet contact) cries out in horror… he's just been informed his wife/daughter have been kidnapped. Turns out a runner team kidnapped them because they are publicly know to cavort with Muse (Nina).. they plan to lure Nina in, kidnap her.. learn where all her safehouses/stashes are and rob her accounts blind, then sell her to the highest bidder. The leader of this evil team is a rigger named Bazort (Nina +sheet enemy contact) that has returned to Denver to seek vengeance on Muse (Nina) for some previous carnage she brought upon his previous team. Vollo spots a lookout, chases him… Morpheus and later with the help of trinity take out Bazort while Vollo breaches the back of the armored van via a sword and in combat stops a grenade from going off and knocks the cybered ex-military enemy unconscious. Morpheus ends up taking Serious Physcial damage from a gunshot.. and Nina does an awesome full heal with a Treat spell. First time an Ally Spirit of hers has been injured and first time used the Treat spell all in one plot. Vollo and Nina clear the van of a few drones for Vollo to keep and then after some hard work convince the locals to sell off the practically new GMC Bulldog (armored, rigger equipped, etc, etc) van to Nine Lives (fencing) and splitting the value among themselves. (Vollo and Nina get none of this.. it was a community service thing). Vollo is a damn crafty guy and uses their commlink to trace the signal back to their location. Takes a lot of work but he does it. Nina Mind Probes into Ceil (the military enemy fella) mind to learn some details. Vollo uses a rat drone to gain access to the basement laundry room where the Troll phys. adept is with the hostages. Some door chopping and kicking gets Vollo down into the basement for a head to head with a Body 12, Sword skill: 8, jacked up super fast 3D6++ Init Troll phys adept. The troll attacks with like 16 successes.. but somehow the bastard Vollo turns the ties and kills the troll. yee gads! They get the wife/daughter back to the husband and Nina Alter memories on the military guy so she nor the family have to worry about vengeance. F6 Alter memory with like 16 successes or some craziness. Pretty much the guy will never remember and be a threat. Mission Success!! Date: 1/18/2076 ------> Nina's PrP <------- Nina's Plot Log has now started. This PrP Involves: Vollo (player) / Nina (player/GM) -----> Sun Jan 17 21:37:24 2076 <------ ---> Text Message to Muse from Fuzzer (#6013) <---- Hey I got your squeeze's phone fixed. It is interesting. ---> Text Message to Fuzzer from Muse (#6503) <---- »> He's here right now but burried to his neck in this power foci creation project he's on. He wants me to drop by and pick it up. How much cred you want for the efforts? ---> Text Message to Muse from Fuzzer (#6013) <---- None, but perhaps if I could help. I sort of had to look at the pictures that came up. Not that I really looked, I just kind of looked a little. ---> Text Message to Fuzzer from Muse (#6503) <---- Seems a reasonable request. I think he will be cool with it. It's his show on this one. I'll drop by your shop soon and meet up with you? ---> Text Message to Muse from Fuzzer (#6013) <---- Okay that sounds good. And if he wants to just do it himself I will understand. No strings attached, just glad to help. ---> Text Message to Fuzzer from Muse (#6503) <---- I'll fly down in Raven form, pick up a stash of gear I have hidden in the warrens and then walk over to meet up with you. Be there in about an hour. Super fast to get there as a bird.. just takes a while to get from my gear to the Souk Marketplace.. I need a more centrally located stash location for sure. I'll be dressed like this: http://postimg.org/image/xe6wtbper/ ---> Text Message to Fuzzer from Muse (#6503) <---- I will forward all txt/calls to the burner phone I have stashed there.. anything you send me I will pick up when I get to my stash… peace out. ---> Text Message to Muse from Fuzzer (#6013) <---- Sounds good Nina gives Cain a kiss goodbye and then heads into the greenhouse, takes her Raven form (with Shapechange: Sustaining foci) and then heads up and out of the greenhouse glass ceiling via the escape route prepard there. Once airborn… Morpheus and Trinity join her in Raven form.. three ravens in the Denver dark night sky heading for the Warrens. Partway to her stash location she reconsiders the foolishness of heading all the way to the far Eastern border where her stash is within the Warrens.. not that she knows the spell to create clothing for herself.. she banks to the right and makes a bee-line for the Souk marketplace. Ten minutes later, three ravens circle the souk far above while two of them turn into dust and vanish, going back into the astral plane. Nina(Raven) dives, heading down into a back alley behind the Souk Marketplace where she lands carefully after making sure it's vacant. Dropping the spell she becomes a naked human lady in sub-freezing temperatures and quickly works her magic to give herself some clothing… bra, shirt, wool seater, thick hoodie, scarf for her face, gloves, underware, pants, socks, combat boots.. ah… damn cold out tonight. «Plot» Nina says, "Making quick rolls for Shapechange and Create Personal Clothing" «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 6 + 4 (ally) vs TN 3 for "F4 Shapechange, need 3 successes.

L.L. Bean. Nina comes into view aobut fifteen minutes after her call.. not anywhere near the 1 hour she said it was going to take her. Her eyes are visible over the scarf on her face and she shrugs while her eyebrows rise. Her smile can be seen affecting the glint in her eyes as she approaches. Vollo doesn't have his stall stocked tonight, instead he's pulled back the tarps and cammo netting to just cover the two vehicles and leave a passage between the back doors of the Eurovan and the side door of the Land Rover. There is a pole with a lantern hooked to it that shows where the entry flap is. Vollo is sitting on a crate in between the two open entrances warming his hands over a small fire. The tarps keep the wind at bay somewhat. He is working on a modular piece of electronics. Nina pokes her head in as she pulls off the mask over her nose/mouth, "hey there.. I figured forget the stash.. I got this new spell some months back that I rarely use.. it makes magical clothing for me… as long as I don't need cash, medical supplies or a gun and such… I can bypass going all the way to the stash." Nina steps in and models her clothing, "Pretty good for molded and shaped mana eh?" ** GM Nina ** Playerplot Note: Nina has queues in that ICly should be done by now. So she <ICLY> knows the following spells that are not on her +sheet yet: Catalog F1 Detect Magic F1 Smoke Cloud F1 Vollo looks her up and down, setting his tools aside and motioning to a small drip coffee maker hooked to the suncell charger. "There is an extra cup. Pretty nasty soycafe but it wakes the bones up." He looks her up and down again as he gets the last of the instruments picked up. "So those are magic clothes? That is a neat trick." Nina nods to the offered cup and takes it in gloved hands, heading to the coffee pot to fill it up as they chat, "Thank you Fuzz.. very nice of you." She looks at her clothese with a smile, "It doesn't make them last forever.. only sunrise.. or sunset. Sort of shamanic acutally.. so at sunrise.. poof.. they vanish. Also.. if I take off something now. .it vanishes too. So I can't create 1000 nuyen dresses and sell them off.. sort of keeps us finger wagglers honest." Vollo smirks about the "finger wiggler" comment sticking. "So should I hold off giving the pocsec to you since none of those clothes and pockets are really real?" He sits back down after handing Nina the cup and pours his own. It looks like Vollo has not washed his tin camping mug ever. "I enjoyed that last job. It gave me some ideas on how to innovate some of my tool usage. Thank you for inviting me along." Nina sits down on a crate near the fire across from Vollo, first things first.. a slow careful sip of the hot nectar of life.. then a smile, "You can give it to me in a little bag or something I can brab onto when I turn into a raven. Something I can get my talons around and grip. I can make off with a small cat if I had to." she offers a grin and another sip of the soycaf, "I think we worked pretty good together. You get that 20 G's I put in that coffee can in the alley this morning for you from Tony? (assuming ICly we got paid already) He was real happy with your work and how I said you worked things on your end." Another sip, "He gets me a LOT of work.. two or three jobs a week at least. Sometimes I have to turn them down because I have to remember to relax and enjoy life more." Vollo nods, "Got the money. Thank you. It'll go to trying to get my first starter drone. I won't ever be a rigger but I want to be able to use the little metal critters on some jobs. Always good for me to branch out." He sips at his own coffee and then pulls out the pocsec. He fishes around in some of the boxes and finds a little mesh bag with a drawstring. HE slips the pocsec inside and passes it to Nina. Vollo dropped Fried Pocsec. Nina accepts the little mesh bag with a smile, "Perfect," and slips it carefully into a deep pocket of her hoodie at the front and then finishes off her first cup of coffee before talking further, "You know more about what's on it than we do.. but I'll have my man take a look and then contact you. Okay if I give him your txt number?" About this time a loud crash is heard, someone banging/throwing something into some sheet metal and various smaller items falling and making noise, "Noo!" a man's voice in the marketplace calls out. The Market's attention turns in that direction considerably.. a perfect distraction for something somewhere else? Or something to be concerned about? ** GM Nina ** The voice causing the fuss.. both Vollo and Nina recognize. It's Terry Gilbert.. a fellow vendor. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) has the Contact Terry Gilbert with the following information (only to Vollo): -----> Contact for Nina (#6503) <------ Contact Name: Terry Gilbert Level: 1 Type: souk vendor GM Note: Terry Gilbert is a 32 year old human male, weathered and cracked skin beyond his years. His hair is a dirty blond and shoulder length that he keeps back in a pony tail under an old Arizona Dimondbacks baseball cap. Terry likes to ware an old Navy P-Coat of blue wool in the cool months and in the summer an old authentic looking UCAS Navy blue military shirt with Engineer insignia. Terry works in the Souk Marketplace in the Warrens as a used cellphone salesman. He has a variety of electronics contacts but cellphones are the easiest items to move where he is currently living and thus his current items for sale for the crowds. He can get his hands on other electronic items through his contacts if needed. Terry is a veteran of the UCAS Navy of some 5 years, tossed out with an "Other than Honorable" discharge for having an affair with the wife of an officer while they were in port. Since getting out of the Navy some five year 13 years ago he has married a human lady named Molly Waysley (Now Molly Gilbert) and have had two children together. Renne, their 12 year old daughter (2075) assists Terry at the booth in the Souk Marketplace and with packing and unpacking their supplies at the beginning and end of the day. Renne is a helpful girl with light brown hair that also wares a baseball cap and a pony tail and tries to be like her father. Their youngest child is Terra, a 9 month old daughter (2075) that Nina recently assisted with when the child was dying of carbon-monoxide poisoning. Nina aided the child with Nutrition magic and Oxygenate as well as got them to a clinic for treatment and then purchased the family proper ventilation and cooking equipment in their kitchen. Terry's family lives on the 4th floor of an apartment building (Ghetto) near the Souk Marketplace. 7/23/2075 - Nina assisted Terry Gilbert at the Souk Marketplace. His infant daughter at home had carbon monoxide poisoning and Nina assisted in the child's care. Nina also provided money and equipment to redesign their kitchen so that the child would not get poisoned again. She used a Nutrition spell on the child and got them to meet up with the Warrens Shelter in their area for further treatment. 9/20/2075 - Nina by way of Trinity (ally spirit) was working in the Souk Marketplace area on this day. 5,000 nuyen became available and Nina instructed Trinity to give it to Terry Gilbert on her behalf to help out their family. Vollo stands on reflex and his hand moves to an area of shadow that holds a weapon's harness with two sheathed blades. "Going to douse the lamp okay? Easier to see not coming stright out of the light." He moves and uses deft fingers to turn down the wick on the old hurricane lamp. Nina nods immediately to the dousing of the light comment/request. She stands up as she diverts her eyes away, getting a jump on not looking at the light. Nina adds, 'I .. I think that's a friend of mine." Vollo cocks his head to the side, listening as he slowly shuts the back doors of the Eurovan and the side door of the Land Rover. This is accomplished quickly and he then moves out from underneath the tarped area between the vans, heading alongside the Eurovan in the direction of the noise. Back behind the vendor alley, where vendors share soycafe, help each other make change when they have 20's and no 5's.. Vollo's route keeps him out of the normal crowd. Nina follows behind vollo, reaching up and tying her red kerchief around her face again as the head that way. When on scene, Terry Gilbert (used cellphone salesman) can be seen turning in circles randomly, reaching for things.. then pulling his hand back. He looks distraught beyond measure. A kid takes advantage of the distraction and snatches a cellphone when Terry is not looking and darts into the crowd and soon out of view…. Little bastard. Nina decides to make sure it's paid for out of her own pocket so Terry isn't screwed on it. Terry spots Vollo and Nina approaching from vendor alley and his expression freezes, worry, concern, relief anger.. all in one. Terry calls to the two, "Muse!.. they took my wife and baby girl…. they…" he turns and looks at the gathered crowed, "Please… Um. .I'm closed for the rest of the night.. sorry." Terry's teenage daughter/assistant is crying but has the sense of mind to start putting tarps over the inventory and closing up shop. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) spends 50 nuyen for "Keeping Terry's books balanced.". ** GM Nina ** Terry's helper daughter is named Renee. Vendor brotherhood knowledge, Vollo probably knows this. Vollo squints and scans the crowd quickly to watch facial expressions of people who might be part of what is going on or might know something. He's looking for some clue, nervousness, a facial tick, anything. He moves alongside Nina in Terry's direction. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Intelligence for "Perception": 2 3 3 3 4 8 8 11 ** GM Nina ** Vollo notices a human male in a heavy looking black longcoat, black wool cap and a black scarf around his face standing a good distance off. The thing that draws attention is that he's by himself when the rest went to see the trouble he stayed in place at a high point that offers him a great view over the heads of the crowd to watch Terry's cellphone stall. A glint from his eye, teltale sign of very basic cyber eyes without the upraded pupil covers. He notes he's been spotted and turns quickly and starts to walk away. Nina is fixed on Terry and doesn't notice the man yonder.. she approaches Terry, "Please.. tell me what you know." Terry pulls Nina off to the side (Vollo if he wants to come), "They just told me.. that because I know you… you have a reputation and thus.. people think you've been around enough to have deep pockets. They've taken Molly and Terra.. kidnapped.." he breaks down, face in his hands as he sits down on a crate. Vollo hisses under his breath, turning to Nina. "Do the link thing." He taps the side of his head with his finger. "I saw someone, gonna follow." He gives the man a thoughtful look but doesn't make any promises, simply turning and taking off at a dead run so he's not too far behind. Nina nods to Vollo, quickly into professional mode as she reaches out and touches his shoulder, "Ivarathra Mosfala." (Centering).. F1 Extended Mindlink (Sustaining Foci). «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 5 + 4 (ally) vs TN 4 for "F1 Ext.

With the spell linking them.. Nina turns her attention back to Terry.. to gather information from him and comfort him and start making promises she may not be able to keep. ** GM Nina ** Focusing on Vollo now.. Nina RP will be <behind the scenes>.. we're here to plot Vollo, not Nina. (MindLink!) Dark heavy coat, human male. Black cap and scarf. Eyes cyber maybe, he spotted me I think but going to chase. Ask Terry if thay left a note or a demand. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "I will send Morpheus with you in the astral.. if there is combat he can aid you. We have a full sensory mindlink so I can see what he sees and hear what he hears if need be. I will gather info from Terry.. Fuzz… be careful." In the astral, Morpheus zips on after Vollo. Vollo uses the carabiner clips to get the blade harness strapped to his belt quickly as he moves, left hand side for a cross draw. His eyes take in as much detail as they can. He can move at a pretty fast pace and now he kicks his reflex trigger so the world seems to slow down around him and he can take in the details better. ** GM Nina ** Please +roll Perception to locate this guy that has slipped off and out of view for some moments. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 6 for "Hide": 1 1 1 3 4 4 «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 6 for "Hide KP 1/6": 2 4 5 5 5 10 «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Intelligence for "Perception": 1 1 1 2 3 4 8 11 ** GM Nina ** Vollo clears the crowd and spots the flap of the man's longcoat and the back of his leg/boot as he slips into an alley down the side of Cybered Arms. Nina's Mindlink, "Email sent to him on one of the cellphones he was selling.. they must have a decker or something.. cyber eye on that guy? Shat.. this might be a full on team trying to score off my bank account." (MindLink!) Got a trail, see him. Moving and will watch for team. (from Vollo to Nina) Vollo digs his toes in and speeds up, trying to close the distance. At the corner of the alley he pulls up for just a moment to scan the way ahead. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) has the Attribute Quickness with the value '8 (12)'. Nina's Mindlink, "Morpheus.. stay in the astral.. you saw/sensed the guy through the mindlink with Fuzz right?… that's the guy.. tag him.. don't let him slip away." «Plot» Vollo says, "Pretty good running speed at 12 quick" ** GM Nina ** Vollo spots a GMC Bulldog stepvan down the alley, back doors open and the man jumping inside. A little bird flies from the rooftop area and into the back of the vehicle as well. Now that's not normal. Magic bird? Or drone? The man makes eye contact with Vollo as he's pulling the rear doors closed. Vollo sprints as fast as he can, tryin gto close the gap before the vehicle gets away. He makes certain his eyes for detail on the van are good so his ME3 might catch a license plate, or telltale clues. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Athletics vs TN 4: 1 2 4 5 5 = 3 Successes «Plot» Vollo says, "for extra speed boost" «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 6 + 6 vs TN 4 for "Rigger burning tires on takeoff.": 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 10 = 5 Successes ** GM Nina ** Vollo gets to about 20 meters from the van when it starts to peel off.. he's still closing on it.. gaining.. the van starts picking up speed and digging in with its tires.. they're matching speed when he's about 5 meters from the van.. it looks like the van is continuing to pick up speed and this is as close as Vollo is going to get. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 1 vs TN 7 for "Does Van have ward?": 1 = 0 Successes Morpheus» The van has no ward.. dwarven rigger, dead-head. Human male with cyber throughtout body.. no awakened members. (MindLink!) Vollo kicks through mental choices, guns are out of the question. Too easy to hurt one of the captives. Wrist grapple is not good because getting dragged sucks… Nina I am not going to catch it. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "I have not taught Morpheus stunbolt yet.. his only spell will kill the rigger.. we want to cross that line on this one?" ** GM Nina ** The van starts to pull away. ** GM Nina ** Assuming Mindlink is super fast… faster than talking. (MindLink!) Do it. These are good people. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "Morpheus.. take out the driver." Vollo will just keep his pace, knowing the van is going to pull ahead, but hoping this will change very soon. Morpheus, in the astral lets the cybered guy work to the front of the vehicle, holding onto the walls as the van is racing away fast. The cyber guy (Cecil) flops into the passengers seat up front and starts to buckle in. In the back.. alone.. Morpheus begins to materilize. As the van ends the alleyway it starts to turn to the left in a sliding turn as Morpheus is now fully solid in his imposing bald black man with shades form: http://postimg.org/image/b9zian6xv/ He's leaning against the wall as he materialize so it doesn't throw him while he's pulling in mana to shoot the "sleeping" rigger in the back with a manabolt from the rear of the van. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 6 (M:Sorcery) + Spell Pool: 2 vs TN 5 for "F6 Manabolt Serious.

(from Vollo to Nina) ** GM Nina ** The van skids around the corner but stops being so aggressive in its' fleeing.. it's as if the van has lost some power.. the engine sputtering like. ** GM Nina ** Vollo is keeping pace with the van now.. about 50 meters behind. ** GM Nina ** Thought it cool if the link to the rigger affects the vehicle also. ** GM Nina ** The two shall become one. ** GM Nina ** Resistance is futile. Trinity joins Morpheus in the van.. both still in the astral… they conspire a plan. Vollo stretches his legs out, getting his breath as even as he can to keep pace. He turns the corner and is surprised that the vehicle has not gone completely out of sight. It still being just fifty meters ahead isn't bad. Trinity starts to manifest into her ghost form outside the front window of the van.. a great ghostly distraction. At the same time..

He takes the grenade carefully fron the man's fingers and pulls out a zip tie. Wrapping it carefully around the spoon and the surface of the grenade. He then kicks the man out of the open door and onto the ground. «Plot» Vollo says, "Plasteel restraints=Zip tie" Cecil falls unceremoneously out onto the sidewalk. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) uses 1 of item 1: Plasteel Restraints from RunGear (#4417). Nina's Mindlink, "I have Terry calmed down.. he's heading to a friends house with their daughter Renee after they pack up their things here. I have that address. I'm coming to you now Fuzz." And then once the grenade is secure Vollo climbs down and zip ties the captive, one arm around front and the other around back, wrists zipped at the crotch. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) uses 1 of item 1: Plasteel Restraints from RunGear (#4417). Vollo will quickly rifle through the man's possessions to make sure he doesn't have anything that might help him escape and then on second thought he pulls out a patch and tranq's him. Better safe than sorry. Inside the Van, Morpheus materlizes into his human form, injured.. a bullet hole in his stomach… uggghhh. Trinity Materializes inside as well in her human form beside him.. to comfort him. Nina is almost to the far end of the alley.. she's going to be a while. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) uses 1 of item 3: R4 Tranq Patches from RunGear (#4417). «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 5 vs TN 4 for "Cecil natural body resistance.": 1 1 1 3 4 = 1 Success (MindLink!)

Vollo checks pockets a last time and then drags the man by the heel to the back of the van so he can see inside. ** GM Nina ** In right front pocket: Brass Key Longcoat pocket: Roll of cash (2,000 nuyen) Longcoat pocket: (2) Plaststeel restraints Nina comes visible out the end of the alley.. a pause.. a look around.. and more jogging. «Plot» Vollo says, "Items removed and taken for now. May pass them off to Nina" «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Athletics: 5 11 Nina comes up near, slows to a walk and sighs as she catches her breath but doesn't seem too bad off, "Okay.. so.. Morpheus is injured.. I need to heal him… van is messed up from crashing into a pole so we can't use it… rigger dead.. ick. Cyber guy is unconcious and restrainted… um.. lots of eyes on us now. I think they want to pick the van clean. You want me to stay here.. Heal Morpheus.. pilfer the van.. watch the restainted guy while you get your vehicle.. so we can load this guy in and abandon the van and regroup and decide what to do next?.. that a plan? Better ideas?" Trinity» Please.. he's in great pain. Nina moves around the back of the van, within chat distance of Vollo to come to Morpheus' aide. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Centering vs TN 4 for "Centering for successes, F6 Treat (TN: 10-Ess = TN 4): KP: 0/36": 1 2 3 8 15 = 2 Successes Vollo tilts his head, then nods.

Nina pulls in pure mana (filtering) from around her and moves to Morpheus, speaking in enochian as she reaches him and pulls his shirt open at the wound, touching his bullet hole area gently as he winces. As she chants in that weird language the bullet pops out of the hole in his stomach and the red and brusing starts to shring into the hole. The hole closes up like some creepy Windego healing and after some time (not an instant spell) the wound looks totally okay now. «Plot» Vollo says, "Vollo transduces information to Edgar which is the Adanced Drone Pilot R3 with some extras. The engine starts and the Vehicle sensors and use of the performance profile autosoft R3 helps move the vehicle in the direction of the scene." Morpheus takes in a deep breath after he is healed and then reaches forward and hugs Nina tightly. ** GM Nina ** In the Van: No RCD visible.. must be internal in the dwarf's head.

He goes back up into the van, making sure there are no more issues. He looks through the gore of the driver carefully and then under the seats and in storage compartments. Vollo has an aha moment and checks for comm devices in the vehicle. …and on the messy dead dwarf. It doesn't take too long and the sound of the Land Rover approaching is heard. it is driving slow and steady at safe advanced pilot speeds. ** GM Nina ** Vollo spots a device around the rigger's neck (subvocal mic), bluetooth linked to a commlink in his pocket. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery vs TN 6 for "Cleaning up F6 Treat Astral Sig": 2 3 3 5 5 8 11 = 2 Successes ** GM Nina ** Nina's F6 treat Sig will last for 4 hours. Vollo starts getting the equipment found and the prisoner moved to the Land Rover. He uses additional plasteel restraints binding Cecil up so he doesn't mess with the gear inside the van. Nina checks over Morpheus a bit more and then seems happy, "Okay.. well.. now we know our healing magic is super good.. still.. you were smart what you did dematerializing.. the guy was just super fast." Morpheus nods, "Hurtz like a bitch though." Nina nods with a grin, 'You sure are tough." Nina has Trinity and Morpheus slip back into the astral world to become invisible again… there if needed. Nina comes out of the back of the van, "Okay… we want to leave this for the locals to pick clean?" Vollo nods, "I got all the interesting gear tranfered. I found a comm on the rigger, wire linked to a commlink. I think that is the best chance of finding them for a transfer." He looks at the vehicle. I could use some GMC parts, but I think this will pacify the onlookers and get them to maybe forget about what they saw." «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Negotiation: 1 2 2 2 «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Negotiation for "KP: 1/36": 2 2 3 4 «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 2 vs TN 4 for "Counter": 3 5 = 1 Success Nina nods and steps out into full view of the people now out on the sidewalks and around about 20 meters back safetly.. some even have toolboxes with them and grocery carts for taking away parts. Nina calls out, "Okay.. we're going to leave the van complete.. probably only needs a radiator.. so it's worth a LOT.. and it's rigger fixed up too. If you all can agree… and not fight over it.. you can probably sell it off and split the money.. and make a couple years worth of earnings tonight… if you can keep from fighting of it…. we're leaving it for all of you though… for your silence… you saw nothing…. right?" They don't look so impressed.. hard telling what they will decide. Vollo squints at the crowd. "You heard the lady, it is a fair deal. Street rules." «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Negotiation: 3 3 4 5 8 ** GM Nina ** The crowd (roll above) seems to be swayed by Vollo's logic. Maybe it's just the tone of his voice.. but they start to negotiate amongst themselves and the trouble makers are soon convinved by sheer numbers they need to agree… Nina climbs into Vollo's vehicle once he has it unlocked and safe for her to get into. ** GM Nina ** IC Time: 9:55 pm Vollo moves into the side door and up to the driver seat. "Load up lady, lets figure out where we need to be to make this happen." He checks the comm and looks at what channel it was set to and then keys his Mastertacc to that frequency. Once she is inside the door closes by itself. Nina gets seated and buckles up, "This is your work now Fuzz.. I don't know how to track by a frequency." Vollo keys in several commands on a keyboard that is attached to the dashboard. He swivels a screen around to watch carefully. The vehicle itself pulls out and up the street to get away from the looting crowd. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls 8 (Signal Scanner) vs TN 4 for "fpr picking up the frequency. This is helped by having their comm for clues.": 1 1 3 3 3 4 10 10 = 3 Successes «Plot» Vollo says, "Master Units can hold Rating*10 programmed frequencies in their memory, while each one can function as a jammer AND scanner with ratings equal to the master comm Device Rating. Flux, ECCM and Encryption ratings are also equal to Device Rating. using the R8 Signal Scanner linked through the Mastertacc." Nina's Mindlink, "Trinity… please take your human form outside away from the crowd and approach them. Approach the one that looks to be organizing the group for selling the van and tell them that I sent you.. and then give them the txt number to Nine Lives.. tell them she can get them the most value for the van… then head off until you are not visible by them.. and go back into the astral and come back to us.. .thank you Trin." «Plot» Vollo says, "The mastertacc scanner level is at R7 for ECCM and Decrypt" ** GM Nina ** It takes Vollo 20 minutes to get a lock on the specific frequency and narrow the location down to a 1 block radius. More efforts could narrow it even further. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Electronics + 1 (tp) vs TN 4 for "to work the gear": 1 1 2 4 10 10 = 3 Successes ** GM Nina ** After 20 further minutes.. Vollo is confident of the specific building the frequency is coming from. It is an 8 story run down brick apartment building with borded up/plastic covered windows, a pimp with girls outside and a burned out car on blocks at the curb. Vollo parks a half block from the building and settles back for a moment, looking at Nina. "Well they are in there. Should I call them on the comm channel and work a deal? Or do we go in and just get them? I think it is safer for the hostages to work a trade." Nina nods to the trade logic, "I agree… this guy has some big skills… a valuable asset to their team. Let's be careful though and leave out the info if we can about the rigger being dead. The one with the hostages might act rash without thinking through things in the heat of the moment." Nina hmmms…. Nina adds, "They came after this family because of me and my link to them.. how can we ensure the family is not taken after again?" Vollo hmms back and then hums some Jimmy again, thinking. Nina considers aloud, "Maybe I can get my fix to work up a quick Fake SIN for Terry.. move him and his family up into the CAS on a legit job? They get a break in life.. a real chance.. and live under new names.. hidden?" Nina looks back at the guy, "Another idea… I can wake him up with magic for a few minutes.. and use a Mind Probe magic on him.. to get into his mind and find out what he knows.. locations, numbers, names.. we want to worry about that or just call them on the comm?" Vollo nods, "I like it. So the back end is safe for them. Now we just have to pull off the trade." He rolls his shoulders and lights a cigarette, staring at his gear. He then looks at Nina, "I think that is a fine idea too. I am going to float a little drone up to take a look in through windows." Nina nods with a smile, "Nice… you work on that.. I'll dig into this guys mind." «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 7 + 4 (ally) vs TN 4 for "F6 Mind Probe, KP: 1/36": 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 9 9 16 17 = 9 Successes «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Willpower + Spell Pool: 4 + 4 (power foci) vs TN 3 for "3S Drain, need 6, KP: 1/36": 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 9 10 13 21 = 11 Successes «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls 5 vs TN 6 for "Resisting": 1 2 2 5 5 = 0 Successes ------> Mind Probe <------- Mind Probe Type: M Target: W(R) Duration: S Drain: S Range: Touch Subject -> Directional Sense This spell allows the caster to probe the mind of a target within the spell's range for information according to the Mind Probe Table (SR3 pg. 193).

Vollo's window rolls down and he leans over and pulls a small bee looking mechanoid from a travel case. He puts it on the dashboard in front of him and then gets the RCD device and puts it in his lap, jacking in. His control and knowledge of piloting the little mech creatures isn't the best and he has to finesse the controls. Nina decides to leave the guy unconcious.. not necessary to have him awake to probe his mind. «Plot» Vollo says, "10 centimeters long, the Bumblebee is classified as a rotary-wing drone, but actually utilizes a highly efficient 'ornithopter' design. Though it produces a soft buzzing noise when in flight, the Bumblebee is a small and unobtrusive surveillance drone that can latch onto walls, ceilings, or other out of the way niches." «Plot» Vollo says, "Going to default to quickness for operating because I don't have the piloting skills." «OOC» Vollo says, "TN8?" ** GM Nina ** TN 8 - level of VCR Nina's Mindlink, " His name is Cecil Rogers Divorced, wife and daughter in Memphis Ex-CAS Military Rigger's name was Bazort From Dallas Farts a lot Loves his drones Talbert is with the hostages in the basement Back alley, is basement window Covered in black plastic In Storage room, not tied up.

"Anything good?" ** GM Nina ** Spell Sig remains for 6 hours. ** GM Nina ** Shared with you via mindlnk pose above. Vollo hrms and then says, "Okay, so an air drone is not exactly good for a basement. Lemme try the…rat." He shuffles around with drones and puts the rat on his lap after parking the bee on the dashboard. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Quickness vs TN 8 for "RCD R4 with signal amplifier R6": 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 9 = 1 Success The rat seems to work pretty well and Vollo opens up his door for it to crawl out. He calls up what it can see on the vid screen. The Rat, now named Oliver scuttles alongside the edge of the building and into the back alley. Vollo slips into the seat behind its eyes for a moment to look around for small rat-like access points into the basement room after finding the taped up window. ** GM Nina ** Please +roll perception TN 8 «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Intelligence vs TN 8 for "Looking for something good": 1 1 3 3 4 5 5 8 = 1 Success ** GM Nina ** Old laundry vent.. access granted. ** GM Nina ** A local rat scuttles up behind Vollo and tries to stuff it's little rat pecker up under Vollo's tail. Vollo grins and bounces in his seat a little. "Got it." He has Oliver crawl into the vent carefully and start nosing around, looking for a way to see into the basement. The surprise of a real rat confuses the hell out of Vollo and Oliver. He has to do some quick manipulations to scare the rat off. Oliver spins around and clacks little metal teeth, his metal claws scraping on the vent floor. «Plot» Vollo says, "Damned funny, want another piloting check?" ** GM Nina ** Good idea… TN 8 «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Quickness vs TN 8 for "Rat control go Oliver!": 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3 5 8 13 = 2 Successes ** GM Nina ** The real rat looks shocked.. it backs up.. cowers.. turns and flees. ** GM Nina ** The vent is broken ahead.. opening up into the basement room. Vollo sighs and shakes his head. "Didn't expect that." He then jumps behind Oliver's eyes for a moment and crawls about looking for a way to see the room where the captives are held. The vent break helps and Olver crawls slowly up and takes a look down. Nina watches, not sure what all the scurry and gnashing of teeth is about.. she doesn't realize it was trying to mate with the drone. ** GM Nina ** Please +roll perception. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Intelligence for "Perception": 1 2 3 3 4 4 4 11 ** GM Nina ** Inside the basement storage room (old laundry room): Big troll guy with a sword.

"Okay we have a troll with a blade. I can fight him since he's wanting to capture you. I mean we both can." Vollo clears his throat. "I think we should surprise him. Just one opponent. The captives are in there. it is an old laundry room." he sighs and forgets this is easily done through the mind link and does so. Nina's Mindlink, "I see on the screen here a door… you think we can get through that and surprise him?" (MindLink!) Yeah we say we are Cecil maybe, or just kicking it. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "Can you sound like Cecil?" (MindLink!) I dunno, but I can sound wounded and barely able to talk. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "That's put the trog on defense right? Sword out.. ready for trouble.. worried and on alert right?" (MindLink!) Like I could just thump on the door…sword is already out and he's pacing. I can pretend to be wounded, say that Bazort is wounded bad in the van. And all he can do is fart. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "Sounds like a plan.. you want me and my friends to manifest inside the room after you knock.. away from and hopefully behind the troll if we can?" (MindLink!) I can say I wanna wrap this up so I can try to fix things with my family in Memphis. Yeah that sounds great, in protective stance between the troll and the captives. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "Okay.. let's do it." Vollo pulls the rat back, quietly in the vent but then scampering once back at street level. HE gets the critter tucked away and checks his gear. Nina's Mindlink, "Morpheus.. can you stay back here at the van.. materialize and protect me while I astrally project and go in with Trinity.. you deserve a good quiet task." Morpheus » Yes Mistress. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) takes off his "Dark Horse Balaclava"<=Armor (#3365, Item 12). «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) puts on his "Dark Blue Helmet"<=Armor (#3365, Item 6). Vollo changes out his headware and takes a deep breath, slipping out of the van and slinking along the street and around the corner. He takes out both his Ni To Kenjutsu katana and his other more worn katana, holding them behind his body unsheathed. He cracks his neck back and forth and then rolls his shoulder, bouncing a few times on the balls of his feet. He then moves to the alley door quietly, he didn't see any cameras or vidscreens in the room but he checks for cameras just to be sure. ** GM Nina ** Please +roll stealth ** GM Nina ** Please +roll Perception «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Stealth: 1 4 4 4 5 7 «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Intelligence: 1 1 2 4 4 5 7 9 ** GM Nina ** The back alley door is on ground level.

Looking up he can see their shoulders/above (rest of body blocked by rooftop/wall from view).. "Yeah… something back here like a predator.. like invisible stealthy shimmering cloaked man thing… serious.. yeah… you paying us the bonus now right?" ** GM Nina ** They seem to be both trying to talk into a cellphone at the same time.. to get the credit for the lookout-bonus. (MindLink!) Damned kids on roof spotted me. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "Golly dangit." (MindLink!) We could just go with me being the messenger for the trade, we have that as a fallback.

Vollo can see a long hallway with several doors off it. Directly across from the stairs is the first door and from his knowledge of his drone recon.. that's gotta be the laundry room. Vollo does the same thing, figuring he's already made enough noise to alert a physadd. His blade cuts and then comes the kick.

His style is not so much traditional, but a mix of formal Japanese, Germanic and some dance. He judges the troll's advance. The sheer power coming at him is alarming. But he knows this sort of attack. He waits standing tall and then at the last moment steps in slipping to a crouch, one knee firm on the floor. He comes under the overhand blow and cuts straight across the troll's gut, opening him up grievously. His left hand blade comes down on the tendons of one of the trolls back legs and slices it clean off. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) has the Knowledge Skill Dance with the value '4 (5)'. «Auto-Judge[]» Vollo (#6013) rolls Dance: 2 2 4 5 9 ** GM Nina ** The Trog falls with a thud out into the hallway, blood gushing everywhere.. entrails spilling out, "Mother!!" he cries out as his life threatens to leave him soon. ** GM Nina ** Free RP Nina and Trinity finish manifesting.. ghostly forms in the laundry room… the ghosts of lost socks come to haunt. ** GM Nina ** Nina's ghostly form: http://postimg.org/image/ocl15mwkj/ ** GM Nina ** It will take some time for the trog to actually "die".. Body 12.. he's a fighter. Vollo stands and moves several steps, taking the troll's head off with a merciful cut. "There is no suffering." He mutters this and then moves to stand in the way so that the captives do not have to stare at the body. ** GM Nina ** Or.. he can die real fast too. :) Molly gets up with Terra, holding her tight and moving to the far corner of the room, unsure of the ghosts or the helmeted man with the sword. (MindLink!) Do they know you as Nina or Keagan? (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "They know me as Muse.. my street name." Vollo tilts his head. "No further harm will come to you. I am a friend of Muse. You are safe now." He wipes the blades off on the pantleg of the troll and then sheaths them. Nina (ghost) speaks, "It's me Molly.. in my magical form with Trinity.. you're going to be okay now. My friend here will escort you out to his vehicle where I will meet up with you. Your hustand and Renee are hiding at Tony Bascom's house.. we'll take you there." Molly takes comfort in both assurances from Vollo and the ghost and moves to go with Vollo, shaken.. stressed… Nina's Mindlink, "Concerned what we should do with Cecil…. I could…. wipe his mind of any knowledge of me and Terry's family.. it would take some time.. not a simple event forget.. but a bit of historical wiping." (MindLink!) I was thinking about that. If you can that would be excellent for the mind wiping. (from Vollo to Nina) Nina's Mindlink, "I'll get back to the van and work on that now as you bring Molly and Terra back." Nina and Trinity zip back to the van, Nina slipping back into her body, "Oh.. hi Morpheus.. we did great.. Fuzz is bringing them back to the van." ----------—[ Shadowrun Denver ]- ====================> Spell Catalog Listing: Alter Memory <==================== Spell Name: Alter Memory Category: Manipulation/Control Target Number: W(T) Drain Code: D Type: Mana Duration: Permanent Range: LoS(1) -----> Spell Description <-----— This spell allows the caster to alter a single memory of the target, even erasing it altogether. The Threshold is half the target's Willpower. Each time the subject is confronted by the falseness of the memory, another Resistance Test is made against the caster's original successes. If the subject scores enough successes to overcome the spell, the subjects true memories return. Successes are not cumulative. This spell has a Threshold equal to half the target's Willpower. Vollo wraps the blade in discard fabrics he finds in the laundry room and places a sheet over the troll as well. Then he escorts Molly and Terra to the vehicle. «Auto-Judge[]» Nina (#6503) rolls Sorcery + Spell Pool: 7 + 4 (ally) vs TN 4 for "F6 Alter Memory (Erase any memory of Muse).

Vollo watches Nina work and then after getting instructions from Nina drives over to Bascom's apartment. He drives slow and steady, watching for debris in the road or ambushes. He will park as Nina directs. After the magic is done, Nina spends time on the ride to comfort Molly.. ensuring her that the rigger is dead, the troll is dead and she completely wiped the mind of Cecil of any knowledge or memories of their family or of herself. It takes the whole right.. but Molly is just mildly traumatized by the time they get her to her husband.. hugs are exchanged.. meals offered as way of thanks.. and vows of friendship forever are exchanged. ------> Nina's PrP <------- Nina's Plot Log has now stopped. -----> Mon Jan 18 04:23:27 2076 <------
