CY_BORG: VIP Abduction

[Wrathbone]

I'll take the drugs and the the machete (assuming I can wear it on my belt or something), and I'll stash the shotgun in the taxi.

[Sly Boots]

Doze has no intention of picking through the gross organic matter of an ex-meatbag, even vicariously through Boris.

Is there any interesting tech or anything to be found around the warehouse?

[Mantis]

I'll take the lot.

Is there any way that Zola could scan the contents of the USB for malware before he plugs it into his eyeballs?

[Stormbringer]

I'll check one of the bodies please..

D12 - 10
D10 - 4
2D6 - 5 + 3

Volley finds:

1.80¤ worth of the drug 0-SLEEP. Two full doses and four recreational doses.
(Removes the need to sleep and rest and the negative effects of not doing so. After two days of using 0-sleep, test Toughness DR8 or fall unconscious. Test again each following day with +2DR.)

2. A severed finger in a plastic bag.

3. A shotgun (d8 damage, worth 350¤)

4. A machete (d6 damage, worth 20¤)


There's one more Viper if someone wants to search them?

While her buddies rummage through the corpse-loot, Doze continues to pilot Boris around the warehouse on his mechanical crab-legs, using his remote camera to examine the damaged crates.

Doze realises that what is stored inside the crates is a disassembled MECH, just like the one they saw rampaging through the slum-side of Inkwell Heights. It looks like the Virid Vipers are preparing to take their gang war with the Heirs of Kergoz to the next level. This particular mech is in no state to repair or pilot in the time given, but Doze reckons they could extract the mech's cluster-grenade launcher (sans grenades), strap it to the roof of the taxi, and sell for something between 2-8k¤...though they might attract some attention on route!

[Wrathbone]

Sen briefly considers whether the cluster-grenade launcher could somehow be grafted to his chest, but since he's trying to lose some weight it would be counter-productive.

"Boss, could get some nice scratch from that mech launcher, but it'll attract heat dragging it around the streets. Guess after we're done here, we could get the Heirs to come here and buy it from us? Doubt they'll object to us having shot up some Vipes."

[Animalmother]

I'll take whatever I have space for and stash the rest in the boot of the taxi if I can.

[Sly Boots]

Do we know what the eta is on our mark?

If he's due any minute Doze might list the launcher for sale now in the assumption it will take an hour or two for a buyer to arrive.

[Stormbringer]

Do we know what the eta is on our mark?

Lorne told Zola that Lukas Tosk would show up at the site around 13:00.

I'd say the time is now roughly 11:30, so you've got plenty of time.

Would you like to put up a FOR SALE ad on the Net?

[Wrathbone]

I'd suggest that we wait until the job is done, otherwise we could end up with the Heirs arriving in the middle of us trying to hijack a limo while dressed as Vipers.

Sen will begin the clean up operation to get the warehouse looking like a respectable crime gang drug lab.

[Stormbringer]

I'd suggest that we wait until the job is done, otherwise we could end up with the Heirs arriving in the middle of us trying to hijack a limo while dressed as Vipers.

It might not be the HoK who are the buyers. It would be a public ad; you don't have any direct contacts with that creepy cult. Yet! Could be anyone who shows up...

One thing to keep in mind: if Doze puts up the ad...Doze also put up a traced Cyberbike for sale at the same coordinates where a supposed ambush/murder took place. Corps could also see it and that could be a big problem!

[Wrathbone]

Either way, probably best to wait until the job is resolved until we decide how to handle it.

[Sly Boots]

I'm thinking though that we don't necessarily want to be hanging around here for hours after the job waiting on a buyer, and it sounds like it could be a bad idea to attempt to transport it to another location.

How about we place an ad (someone else could do it, seems that's another good idea) in about 30 minutes, so an hour before our intended mark's arrival? If/when someone answers the ad we could also suggest a future time for them to arrive if we feel like it would be cutting things fine.

[Mantis]

Is there any way that Zola could scan the contents of the USB for malware before he plugs it into his eyeballs?

If not, Zola will just go ahead and plug it into his RCD anyway.

Sorry, missed your earlier message! No, you can't scan it without plugging it in.

Zola takes the memory stick and plugs it into his RCD.
