DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
It’s your first day on the job. You had to show up early for an orientation, where an excessively cheerful elvish woman in a navy business suit (Tessie) went over the highlights of your welcome packet. She walked you all downstairs to the garage, where a gleaming white Ares Citymaster emblazoned with the DocWagon logo sits on rails that suspend it several feet off the floor. A troll in a dingy, grease-stained, white mechanic's jumpsuit with the DocWagon logo on the back can be seen underneath it, using a tool of some sort on the vehicle.
There are bays for three other vehicles, though none of them are currently in use. Tessie leads you very quickly through the garage, over to a square area fenced off by chain link walls. There is a door in one part, and on the other side of the wall, a dwarf and human are visible. The majority of the space inside the chain link cage is taken up with shelving units and gun racks. There are rows of guns and hanging suits (white with the DocWagon logo), and boxes marked "EXPLOSIVE", and similar sorts of items. The dwarf, who is about average looking for his metatype with brown hair and beard, is currently sitting at a table, disassembling an Ares Alpha on it. The human is running a hand very slowly and carefully over one of the white suits where it is hanging.
Tessie stops outside the cage and gestures to the two men. "This is Karl and Bernie. They are in charge of all the equipment you will use. Whatever you want off the list of available gear, you ask them for it. We don’t do this by commlink for security reasons. You have to actually tell them what you want."
Both men look up. Karl, the dwarf, snorts, but he approaches and opens the door. Bernie stops what he is doing and looks expectantly at you all.
"So, who’s first and what’ll it be, kiddies?"
{Please include a physical description in your first post.}

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
McDunk sits attentively through the briefing, obviously interested it what is being said. As he follows Tessie to the armoury, he glances around at everything and everyone, his piercing green eyes taking it all in. His motions are quick, almost birdlike, though at nearly 6ft and a medium build. He strides along in a dark grey duster and matching beanie. His raven-dark hair is just visible under it.
"'Evening. May I please have a uniform jumpsuit, an Ares SuperSquirt loaded with NeuroStun and reloads, and two smoke grenades?"he asks in a deep voice.I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
After listening to the briefing and being led into the garage, Jacob walks forward and says to the dwarf, "Guess you're the guys who get me locked and loaded." He is rather short, slightly over a meter and a half in height and stocky, with obviously developed musculature. His face is somewhat rounded towards the bottom and features short dirty blonde hair, green eyes, a wide jaw topped by thin whiskers. Having left most of his personal gear in the provided personal lockers, he is dressed in pre-faded black jeans with small square studs down the sides and a plain white t-shirt. He is holding a black helmet under his right arm and a small blue gear bag in his left. A biomonitor is visible on his left wrist and there is an empty quick-draw holster on his side.
Pausing slightly after each item he asks for, he speaks, "I need a uniform, 2 Predators, 3 gels and 3 regular clips for each one, an Alpha and 3 gels and 3 regular clips for that too. Oh what the hell, I'll take 2 smokes and 2 flashbangs for the Alpha. Oh and an extra holster for the Predator, if you've got one."SpoilerBag contains:
1x Respirator (Rating 6)
1x GPS
10x Plastic Restraints (a single set)
1x Metal Restraint
3x Spare clips of Stick n Shock Pistol ammo for an Ares IV Predator.
As he receives his equipment, he inquires, "You guys think you might be able to get my helmet painted after the shift is over? I think white is gonna be a better color."
After taking all the gear, he steps to the side and gets it organized. When he puts the uniform on, he makes sure the holster and the biomonitor are on the outside of the full suit. He then loads one Ares Predator with gel rounds, the other with regular rounds, putting the gel-loaded one in a quick draw holster, and the regular one in the second holster, if one was given to him. He takes out a multi-color marker and marks his gel and regular rounds before putting a few in separate compartments on the uniform. He also takes out his own ammo clips, marking it with a separate color and stowing one on the uniform, along with one of each grenade. The excess ammo goes in his bag, appropriately marked.
The process takes a few minutes, and once he is done, Jacob stands up, puts his helmet on his head, his bag on his back, the Alpha over his shoulder and waits for further instructions. Well, this isn't so different so far.Last edited by Newbie101; 2007-10-03 at 05:52 PM.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
The leggy blonde (not Tessie, this woman is a human, and obviously another recruit) that has been with you and snapping her gum the whole time asks for a jumpsuit and nothing else. She has her hair up in a ponytail on the top of her head, and is drop-dead gorgeous with high cheekbones and a pleasantly curvy figure. She hasn't said anything yet, and one might wonder why someone who looks like her would be doing a job like this. Maybe it has something to do with the slightly vacuous nature of her blue-eyed gaze.
Bernie grabs each item as it is requested and hands it to Karl, who scans each one with his hand before giving it over. Once everyone's requests are filled, he nods once. "When you get back, you come right here and turn all this stuff back in. Anything you don’t bring back, you gotta sit down in one of those chairs, right there," he points to a row of five metal chairs with oddly angled backs that all look extremely uncomfortable, "and file a report about it. I do mean 'anything'."
After you all get your gear together and uniforms on, Tessie makes a shooing motion towards one of the people-sized doors in the wall. Through that door is the tarmac. Maybe 100 feet away, there is a gleaming white helicopter with the DocWagon logo on the side and tail sitting in a large white painted circle. You can see the number '4' is painted inside the circle, big enough to be seen from a good distance up.
The front of the helicopter is all one big window, through which you can see the pilot's seat. It has a single top rotor, currently sitting perfectly aligned with the body of the copter. The tail rotor is embedded in the tail of it. The whole vehicle is about 14 meters long and 4 meters tall. The body of it is about 4 meters wide. The tail is about 6 meters long. At the moment, the side door towards you is open, and there are two figures visible.
There are 12 more circles visible on the tarmac, each painted with the rest of the numbers from 1-14, and each empty.
After just a few moments, Tessie starts talking again. "You've been assigned to Renton. It's mostly residential and high tech business out there, with plenty of ganger problems. There are two major corp zones, but your pilot will be the one worrying about that."
"Remember: get there, pick up the client, get out. We have a guaranteed response time of 10 minutes. If the client isn’t in the EMT's care," she gestures generally towards McDunk, "within 10 minutes, they get everything free, and that makes a lot of people very unhappy. So stay near the middle of your zone whenever you can. If you need to stop to use the bathroom, or grab some coffee, or whatever, call it in. That way we can give someone else the call if they're nearby.
"Okay," she points to the helicopter, "get moving. You have 10 minutes to get to your zone before we mark you as on call. You are on call until 3am, at which point you come straight back here. You have any questions, ask Dispatch or your other teammates." With that, Tessie folds her arms and looks quite impatient for you to be gone, even going so far as to begin tapping her foot after roughly half a second.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
Jacob does a small sigh as the dwarf explains the return policy. I guess paperwork is paperwork no matter where you work. Makes some sense though - they want us to save people, not shoot them.
Listening to Tessie speak, he glances at McDunk, as she points at him. After she finishes, Jacob nods at her as he says, "Yes, mam." After that, he is off, jogging towards the helicopter. He looks behind him once to see if the others are following. Once he gets to the chopper, he takes a quick look at it up close and nods to the two people there before getting inside and taking a longer look around the interior. Never patrolled on a bird before. Looks neat.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Flip
A large man is examining the copter as the others approach. He stands a little over 6' tall and probably weighs about 180. He has broad shoulders and a bulky frame. He is big and looks pretty tough, but is by no means a body-builder. He has a large round head with a flat nose and wide-set green eyes. On top of his head is a short fuzz of black hair. He wears the white DocWagon suit. Around his waist is a belt from which hang a couple of Ares Predators and an arsenal of 10 grenades.
After giving the Dragon one final look over, Flip approaches the new-comers. " 'Lo! Welcome to Jupiter. Name's Flip; I fly this thing." He pats one of the side panels of the helicopter with one hand as he offers his other hand to shake. "What are you here to do?" he asks whoever returns his grip first.
SpoilerFlip is actually an ork, but has the Human-Looking trait. It is likely that most people mistake him for a human, and he doesn't bother doing anything to change this impression.
Also, at some point before taking off, Flip will take a few seconds (probably while others are getting strapped in) to attempt to astrally percieve each of the others, mainly to get to know their auras. Let me know how you want rolls handled.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
First or last, Jacob will shake the large man's hand and say to him, "Jake here. I'm supposed to keep our asses safe and deal with any opposition, while we're getting our guy."
After he hops into the chopper, he will grin and speak to the man, "Now, I've never jumped out of one of these before, and I'd prefer to do it as little as possible. So, don't be afraid to set her down if you need to." Pointing to Tessie, he says, "That lady over there looks ready to chew our asses out if we don't leave pretty soon. So how about we get going once everyone else is ready and chit chat on the way to our patrol zone?"

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
After getting geared up, McDunk follows Jacob across the tarmac to the chopper. "Renton, huh? Could have been worse."
((As he walks up to the chopper he will astrally percieve and assense his teammates.))
Returns Flip's shake with a firm grip. "Nice to meet you Flip. Michael Williams, call me McDunk. I'm the EMT. I think - Jake, was it? - is right, Tessie looks impatient."
Once he gets into the chopper, he will take whichever seat would give him best access to the patient's bed, stow his bag and introduce himself to the others.I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
After he gets into the chopper, Jacob tries to take a seat next to the door, putting his bag between his legs and returns McDunc's introduction. "As I said, I'm Jake and I'm here to deal with any angry folks we might run into while doing our job. I'm pretty handy with a Predator, though you'll find I'm not too shabby with this Alpha either. I'd love for one of you guys who's been doing this awhile to give me a basic rundown of how an extraction goes."
Rolling his eyes slightly, he explains, "I listened to the briefing all right, but I know that things don't usually go just like the briefing. So I'd like to hear a quick 'here's how it's done' if no one else minds."

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
The blonde falls behind as she walks to the copter in her white 1-inch heels. Her ponytail swishes and bounces with her gait, which is punctuated by the snapping of her gum. She smiles prettily and gives Flip a little wave with a light giggle. "Everybody calls me 'Bubbles'." She climbs into the copter without touching anyone else and takes a seat in the back.
Inside the copter, there are four seats with harnesses available, all flight attendant style (they fold up, basically). The wall of the copter opposite the door is taken up with unmarked drawers and a long, flat, blank panel with a handle. You have about 1.75 meters of vertical space to stand up in.
There is a half meter step from the landing rails on the bottom of the copter into the body of it, and about 2 meters of clearance under the tail. The pilot's seat does have a separate door, and there is no actual access between the cockpit to the body of the copter, though the divider between the two is clear plastic, and easily seen through. Noise passes through it, also.
It might also be noticed that there is a square sort of hook thing on the outside of the copter, right next to the opening for the door. It would probably be a good handle if one wanted to ride the landing rail for some reason, or maybe a good place to attach a rope or harness of some kind.Last edited by dauphinous; 2007-10-04 at 11:17 AM.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
McDunk raises his eyebrow at Bubble's intro and footwear, but otherwise does not comment. "She must be magic support. Full mages don't tend to be pilots and the other two would have real trouble lighting candles with magic. Best leave that for later, and get oriented."
McDunk begins instructing his comlink to check for the chopper's LAN and look for a manifest, or see if there are RFID tags on the cabinets. Also if there is a channel to interface with any patient monitoring system that might be installed. Any kind of AR that he might be expected to interface with.
Meanwhile he does up his harness for take off. "Hope I'll have time to physically look into everything before the first job." he thinks. "I'd better keep an ear out for one of the vets answering Jakes procedure question."I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
Jake takes a few moments to figure out the harness, and once he finishes the task he takes a quick look at Bubbles, taking in her footwear and lack of weaponry. Guess it was no use spending the briefing hoping she part of some other team. But I can see why everyone calls her Bubbles - doesn't look like she's ever seen anyone injured outside of a trid. Hope she doesn't end up being our second patient.
Giving McDunc a "check this one out" look, he paused for a longer appreciative view of Bubbles. At least, it won't be a boring shift. He gives the good looking woman his best smile, "Gotcha, Bubbles. So what's your job here? I'm suspecting it don't have to do with shooting people."
While waiting for her reply (and any forthcoming advice from the veterans), he plays with his commlink, messaging everyone in the chopper he can detect. He sets his image link to forward comm messages to his cybereyes, transparently overlaying them on the bottom of his vision.
[This is Jake, testing comms. Best to sort this out now before we really need them.]

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Bubbles unzips her jumpsuit partway and pulls a pair of shades out of a pocket. She slips them on and blows a bubble with her gum, then snaps it and uses her tongue to get the gum all back into her mouth. [I'm the Magical Support, hon.] After fiddling with the harness on the seat for a minute, she manages to get herself strapped in.
Nothing in the copter is labeled, and there are no RFIDs to scan. Trying to access the copter through his commlink, McDunk receives the following message:
[Michael Williams does not have access privileges to the Jupiter domain]

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Flip
Flip nods at the suggestion that they get moving. He opens the door to the pilot's position and picks up a few things off the seat that he must have put there when he first arrived. Within moments, he has put on a large pair of headphones, a set of goggles, and strapped on a helmet to top it all off. He pulls himself up into the seat and straps in.
As he accomplishes all this, he's thinking to himself, "Interesting new lot we've got here. Hopefully these guys can get along a bit better than the last group."
Flip quickly begins through the take-off procedures, but hearing Jacob's voice over the commlink, he pauses to respond. [Alrighty back there, get yourselves ready to go. Almost ready to be in the sky.]

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
[McDunK recieving. Ready to leave.]
Not really happy about this label business. I'll have to start digging once we get on station. I'd best list the team with access to my hidden profile, at least at work. He makes the necessary changes on his comlink.
McDunk goes back to wondering about Bubbles, although he remembers not to stare straight at her.I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
Broadcasting to the group, Jake sends another, longer message out on the comms.
[Flip, we're all good to go back here.
I haven't spent much time in Renton myself, but I think we shouldn't run into any very difficult extractions. Ares has a Knight-Errant facility there, and most of the gangs there are small enough they shouldn't want to mess with DocWagon. That's probably why they've sent us out there - good training for us new folk.
Now the two most important people here are Flip and McDunc. If we can't fly and we can't stabilize our guy, we're pretty much boned. So, if we run into any opposition, keep that in mind. We're a team here, so let's work together, not apart.
Now, I've got some outside experience with extracting people from difficult situations and I've seen my share of flying bullets, so if you're nervous or just got any questions, go ahead and ask.]
He then sits relaxedly in his chair as the chopper takes off and gives his best grin to McDunc and Bubbles, perhaps looking slightly expectant. Mage looks like she'd do better as a trid star. And the doc will be dealing with the patient, so no support from him. Man, I hope you two don't try to play hero here. We've got a long shift and... that's my job.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
8:54pm
As Flip climbs into the seat, it adjusts to his shape and height (as expected). This makes the seat extremely comfortable and the controls are all in just the right places. The day shift pilot, Goose, is a good deal shorter than him, so he has to wait a couple of seconds for it to fully adjust.
[Welcome back, Flip. Excalibur is currently status: Retrieval. We should get moving.]
The heavily, and obviously, cybered troll who was already in the copter looks up from checking the load on his Alpha at Jacob. "Call me Syber," he grunts. "You just follow me, rookie, and no problem. Bullets bounce offa Syber like I was plasteel."
Bubbles looks right back at Jacob with an appraising grin. "Look all you want, hon. We can talk about something else later."
[Incoming message from Dispatch]
[Kitty: stay put. There is a problem with your Magical Support person. Send her back inside. We have another mage who will accompany you. Get going as soon as he gets there.]
Upon getting the order relayed to her, Bubbles pouts and blows Jacob a kiss before climbing out of the copter.Last edited by dauphinous; 2007-10-09 at 01:51 PM.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Flip
Flip makes sure that the message is passed along then acknowledges it to dispatch. [Will do. Holding here on the pad until they arrive.] He watches as Bubbles jumps out and heads back indoors. "I wonder what that was all about," he says to the others through the glass. "Maybe for the best anyway, there was something about her that I just didn't trust."
It might have been that I couldn't assense her. I know full mages sometimes try to block that, but it was weird, like she had something to hide.Last edited by dariathalon; 2007-10-09 at 05:14 PM.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Darryl
{{ Off screen, Darryl takes an Ares Predator with Gel rounds and the White Doc Wagon Camo suit. }}
Once Bubbles disappears her replacement arrives. Darryl McCoy. Troll. Darryl is 2.2 meters tall and fairly small and scrawny(for a Troll). He runs up the copter wearing the Doc Wagon 'camo' suit and carrying a transparent riot shield in one hand. He has an Ares Predator strapped to his left ankle. His greasy brown hair is parted in a straight line down the center of this hear and trimmed to just above his ears.
As he climbs in he pulls and tugs at the camo suit, obviously not happy with the fit. Once he straps himself in and double checks the harness to make sure it'll hold his weight, he pulls a cross on a beaded necklace out so that it lay exposed on his uniform.
Darryl checks out the rest of the team and says with an obvious accent and a bit of a drawl, "Howdy. Name's Darryl, but you can call me Darryl. I am the magical support."
He hooks up his commlink. [Magical Support is good to go]
With that he tries to relax a bit. I've never liked flying. Why couldn't they assign me to a good ole ambulance? Darryl pulls out a pocket bible and squeezes it in his hand for moral support.Last edited by lawful_evil; 2007-10-09 at 07:38 PM.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
"You as well? That makes two of us," McDunk says to Flip. Turning towards Darryl he continues "Pleased to meet you. Michael Williams, aka McDunk. I'm the EMT." McDunk offers his hand to shake.
Just as happy to not be flying with her. Must remember to keep my ears open for any gossip about her.I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Darryl
Darryl smiles in a friendly troll sort of way. Its not quite a reassuring when you've got some mismatched teeth. Darryl, a victim of backwoods dentistry doesn't have the whitest smile, expecially when contrasted to the nice white Doc Wagon suit. All the same, he, after switching the bible to his left hand, accepts McDunk's friendly handshake. The shake is quite gentle as if Darryl is purposely trying not to hurt the EMT.
His hand already out, Darryl decides to offer it around. Darryl turns to the dwarf and offers to shake, "Greettins, names Darryl."
Darryl shifts in his seat a little and positions the riot shield between his lefts, holding it with his thighs. He then asks McDunk, "Where we'all headin out fer? Did y'all get a call ors we just goin' out trolin'?"This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
McDunk smiles slightly at Darryl's choice of words. "We're off to patrol Renton for six hours or so. Are you new to this as well?"
I think I like this mage better than the last one. Must remember not to make religious cracks, he's clearly a believer. Hope he can deal with spirits, I've heard some religions put a ban on that. He glances towards the cockpit. Wonder if it'll be a bunpy ride? I've only been on a helo once before, and that was a little two-seater.I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Flip
Flip rotates in his seat to look back through the transparent barrier."Nice to meet ya, people call me Flip. Now ya'll better make sure you're ready. I'm taking off." He turns back in his chair and slowly eases the helicopter off the pad. As soon as he gets it into the air, he turns toward Renton and accelerates. Despite the noise, it is a very smooth ride so far.
SpoilerAgain, almost a reflexive reaction to meeting a new person that he plans to spend time with, Flip takes a moment while turned around to assense Darryl.

Re: DocWagon Seattle First Response (Renton)
Jacob
Jake takes an appraising look at Syber, "If you lead, I'll be right behind ya."
As Bubbles blows him a kiss, Jacob looks a little startled and takes a quick and silent snapshot with his eyes, saving the image on a private part of his commlink. Wonder what's going on. I should keep an image around just in case this is something serious. ... Oh who am I kidding.
Replying to Flip, Jake gives an affirmative shake of his head, "I was also feeling a little worried about having her backing us up. Though you can never tell what a person will do 'till you see them in action."
Darryl's arrival surprises Jacob slightly and he is silent for a while. Talk about a mixup. This guy'll not be worried about breaking a nail, that's for sure. As Darryl passes his hand around, Jake takes it, speaking with a friendly smile, "Jake here. Good to meetcha." After giving Flip a thumbs up, Jake tenses up slightly during liftoff, but relaxes at the smooth ride. And now the waiting.

As Flip gets the copter moving upwards, the transparent divider behind him changes to show a map of the local area. It shows the tarmac and buildings, and the streets nearby, but there are no names on it. There are three incoming white contacts on the map:
BoomChickaBoom - Cougar - Auburn
BiggerThanABreadbox - VectorThrust - Downtown
RockBox - Hollywood - Tacoma
Each is coming from the direction of the district noted. There are also black and yellow contacts that are unlabeled scattered all over the place and moving.
[Incoming message from BoomChickaBoom]
[Hey Flip, I heard you have new kids. They slowing you down? Any of them hot chicks? Thomas is still hoping.]
As the copter clears the garage building, Flip can see a woman sitting on the roof with her arms thrown upwards.
OOCSpoiler
For reference, unless otherwise noted, anything from the copter, which looks like this is only delivered to Flip's commlink. When that text says [Incoming message from ***], whatever follows in []'s is also only delivered to Flip. A lot of it will likely be humorous, though, so I'm keeping it public.Last edited by dauphinous; 2007-10-11 at 06:07 AM.

Darryl, tries to relax the craft lifts off. His mouth is obviously murmuring some sort of silent prayer. Once the craft clears to 30m danger zone, Darryl says, "Gud. Thaat'll give us'all a chance to do some tawk'n. Geet to know us'all. This here be'in my first day on da job, so if'n I'z be doin' sumfin wrong, dona hesitate to be tell'n me."
Darryl looks around out of the helicopter, checking out the view, and then says, "Anyways, I'm frum Georgia. In my hometown, we'all sure ain't gotz nuffin like this view. All dees buildins' and such. Barely a tree to be seen. Must be real sparkley at night wid all dem lights a lit."
Darryl absentmindedly fiddles with his commlink and then sends a message to the team:
[Should we setup a some kind of secure private network or is there a better way to communicate once people start to disembark from the helicopter.]
Darryl looks around at the team and uses Assensing to evaluate them each in turn.

This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.

Flip
Flip makes a wide loop around the woman on the rooftop, without even batting an eye at her. He continues on toward Renton, following an expertly plotted path weaving between the buildings and the other dots on the screen behind him.
[Yeah, almost a full load of rugrats, so I'm sure we'll be taking it a little slower for the first few runs. Not much slower than I was moving Sunday morning after that party though. Heh-heh. Sorry to break Thomas' heart, but we're all guys in here now. We had a new mage chick, a real flirt, but she was swapped out at the last minute for some troll. You can tell him to try to look her up inside though, she goes by Bubbles.]
Trying to hold two conversations at once, Flip also replies to Darryl. "Yeah that's a good idea, Syber can you get them all hooked up to the link we've been using?"
SpoilerI'm making the assumption that there was such a link on the old team. It seems like such an important thing that I would bet we had something of the sort. If not, I'll come back and edit this post.Last edited by dariathalon; 2007-10-11 at 11:56 PM.

[Heh. Thomas is crushed from finding out that Kitty has a new girl, but she's TacSupp and brought her own guns. 'Bubbles' might cheer him up. See ya.]
[Incoming message from Rockbox]
[Glad to see you were able to scrape yourself off the floor in time for your shift again. Can't remember the last time I was that wasted.]
[Incoming message from BiggerThanABreadbox]
[Slowpoke today, huh? I can almost hear Merlin bitching from here about how you're probably gonna be late.]
Syber grunts in the affirmative and sets everyone up with access to the PAN he and Flip use. As the copter crosses over into Renton, a new white contact shows up on the edge of the map, moving fast from one side to the other.

[Testing new network.]
"Hey Flip, Syber, did your last EMT have an inventory file or anything? I'll look when I can to find where everything is, but I'd hate to be caught short."
McDunk is waiting for the ride to be reasonably smooth and level. Once it is, he'll get out of his seart and start poling into drawers and cabinets, memorising the contents as he goes.I will find the cake no matter what it takes.

Darryl looks up at the inventory file question and looks around a bit. He then asks, "So... Sorry, if I missed this part at the briefin', but does the whirly bird have medikits or anything I should know'n about. I mean, if'n the drek be hitt'n the blades and such, I figure it might be'in good to have learn'd what resources we'all've got available."
Darryl peeks out the window at a small leafless tree in a small park, and says, "It sure be'in cold as drek here. Y'all be geet'n that there snow stuff in these parts?" Darryl realizes just how cold its going to be in the copter once someone opens the doors with rotor blades still spinning and such. Brrr. Darryl shivers just thinking about it.
Wondering how GT {Georgia Tech} did, Darryl, pulls out his commlink to check the score. Hm... who did they play? Jacksonville?This is my signature, there are others like it, but this one is mine.
