Thanks! It was a fun collab! I can see Guardian and Cypher becoming friends (hopefully).

@all

Thanks for the compliments! 

@dragon-soul92 It was a great starter. Here's hoping they can get the friend badge soon.

@Brom Feel better soon! We'll behave in the interim.

@Espatier @Johnny Cabs

So are they remote or controled by an AI robot or can I control them?

My original idea had been to rent a car or car and driver from within the enclave and have them or I drive to a safe underground garage and eithier park or have the driver wait for me there with my full armored clothing. Then from the garage hire a cab to drop me off in front of the restaurant.Then after the meet, if I walk away, I hire a new cab roll back to the underground garage, change out of my suit and take the rented car or car/driver to the Temecula Heights to meet up with the rest of the team if they had not already rescued Vegas.

I'm open to better options but I thought driving up to the restaurent in a cab was a good for image.

@Tann Looks like you've opened a few books!

Okay... 

CP2020 source book pg 71 under the life style... the cost for a cab is roughly 3.00 per mile

pg 74 a "corporate area car" is under "vehicles" - city car, cost is 2.00 per mile. 

-----------------

CP2020 source - night city ( CP3501 )

pg 09 you will find three different cabs systems. 

RedCab, areo cab and Combat cab ( T.V. show that is big in CP2020)

------------

CP2020 source - night city ( CP3501 )

Vehicle rentals

Honda - Avis ( go figure, *chuckles)

Renta-robo, Inc

prices are about 220cr per day for a ford-mazda lexus, Nissian Chrysler for 150cr per day. CHOOH2 are 0.60 cents per mile. 

---------------------

to answer your original question

So are they remote or controlled by an AI robot or can I control them?

yes and yes.... not really

If you were going to control the vehicle... it really wouldn't be a taxi then, it would be a rental and they are going to hit you for a small but yet nominal fee...

Enclave

Ok is there a possiblity inside the enclave to borrow a car? I need a secure vehicle to store my combat gear up so I don't have to return to the enclave. Maybe one of the teen's has a car and wants to make a few euro's and can watch my gear?  Plus at 3.00 per mile the closer I can get to the meet before I hire the cab the better off I will be cred wise afterwards. 

I'll look over the pages you suggested and see what cab company would be the better one. However in the end its really how Brom decides to get me to the meet. Thanks for the info.

Hope your doing better Brom.

that is a good question

A more prudent question might be.... do you speak Chinese ?

pg 110 in the green book cp2020 v3

The Urban Enviro n m e n t
The urban environment is critical to your Cyberpunk world. Whether you use our Night City or create your own, remember that your setting has to have all the right elements. There should be garbage-strewn alleyways. There should be bodies lying in the gutters. There should be wild-eyed lunatics, staggering through pre-dawn streets, muttering darkly and clutching sharp knives. Taxis won’t stop in the combat zones. There are firefights at the street corner as the local gangs slug it out. Players should find their apartments regularly broken into, their cars vandalized, their property stolen. Crossing town should be like crossing a battlefield, filled with
looters, riots, crazies and muggers.

btw-- 

And it always rains. Every day should be grim, gloomy and overcast. The stars never come out. The sun never shines. There are no singing birds, no laughing children. (The last bird died in 2008 and the kids are grown in vats.) The ozone layer decayed, the greenhouse effect took over, the sky is full of hydrocarbons and the ocean full of sludge. Nice place.

TRUST NO ONE

but... we could hand on to your gear but then again... if you got into a "firefight"... you MIGHT need it?.

 

Your a solo... one of the last of the gunslingers in this new age. Your going to make ALOT of mistakes at the meeting and maybe act like a fool but, your a solo. Everyone knows this so it known. Me as a fixer, I should no better when to talk and not to talk until my host addresses me and never make eye contact ( if its a culture thing). I have lots of bad variables, you'll be fine. go and eat, drink and talk. 

I personally think that it might be a plot hook but I might be wrong, I have my own ideas about how to make money and things that I would like to try with the group as we are just starting to learn how to maximize our special abilities. 

Basically nothing is secure and if it was... something is worth stealing then!.

Thank you, Tann. It looks like I have some technical work to do for my post. I will get in touch with those i need answers from. Dragon and CTP, feel free to continue your convo. I still have to get the rest on the road to get you. 

Oh! And I don't see any mention of Cipher's little friend in the post. It would most definitely be something Guardian sees.
