I have been a bit preoccupied with the various goings on in my life, and, as you know, away from my computer.

I have a post up, though!

I know its short, but nothing really to add other then trying to give Vegas a better head's up as far as going out front.

I held off because I only had half of the players posting. I have enough to continue, so I'll do so probably tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy the read.

Now, I left off with actions being needed from everyone before we can proceed. I look forward to everyone posting!

Hey, Choombas!

I've got duties pertaining to my collarboy side of life pretty much all next week. This means that I'll likely not post for the week (though I may surprise you).

This should give you all plenty of time to get nice posts in place yourselves. I'm counting on it, as a matter-of-fact.

I mean, c'mon now. Where are the posts? Has everyone had enough 'Punk? Game over? Pull the plug? Die already?

I was hoping he'd post by now but I guess real life is possibly busy for him right now. I'll get a post up tomorrow for sure.

Plus I have not been over to my former residence the past 2 days to sort through the clutter and I have to get things in place at my new residence

Not to mention some Ministry obligations that have been necessary to attend to in the midst of this move

Will be the weekend before I can write anything and Vegas will probably still go out the front door to meet Starlight

Just got back from another work trip. Will need a couple of days to catch up with the family. Hope to be posting on Wednesday.

For now, I think it's safe to assume the Blossom will be looking to try and crack through the door, stealthy like.

Been a long week and spent most of my day Saturday at a Funeral Service

Am still in the process of getting some things moved over to the new house

Typed up a Post before getting some much needed sleep

Hopefully it was coherent enough to relate Vegas' motivation

I appreciate the efforts everyone is making to keep the game flowing. I know that RL sometimes kicks you in the gut. In some cases, it not only kicks you in the gut, it shanks you in the kidney... repeatedly.

Ayrn, we can wait until Wednesday to make a post if you need that time to concoct yours. At the very least, I need to know what programs you're going to use to attempt to by-pass the security system.

I'll post an update tomorrow. Hopefully, Ayrn will have a post in place by then.

Combat is moving slowly, so I'm going to resort to something I've done in the past that works for the most part. From now on, when engaging in combat, I'll ask for each of you to provide me with general actions that will carry your character through most of the combat. It'll look something like this:

Melee Offensive Action: Use martial arts to disarm / disable opponent.


Melee Defensive Action: Use martial arts to defend self while finding a way to retreat to better defensible position.


Short Range Offensive Action: Use .44 Automag with intent to injure, not kill. Targeting the brute with the cyberarm.


Long Range Offensive Action: Use Nomad Rifle to take out the immediate long-range threats. Shoot to kill.

General Defense: Help injured characters retreat to a safe position while offering return fire on the closest enemy using my .44 Automag.


Ayrn, for your character, you could post with programs you'd like to use in various situations.

Brom, If he does move out of the club I'll follow him and cover his back even if I don't like the idea. Not sure about Fixer of course.

Hammer, Vesper, and Tann... you folks are in a drive-by situation. That means you essentially have one combat phase to react before the car is out of direct line of fire. There are cars parked along the street and cars moving both ways in traffic.

Giddy, Ayrn, Altheia, and Keeper, you folks are out of combat and now running the tunnels blindly. Before proceeding to continue the story, I've given you pause long enough to determine additional planning.

Good luck!

Post up.... hope no bystanders are present to possibly be hit.
