Help me Shadowrunners, you're my only hope. OOC

[a_humble_lich]

And sorry I've been AWOL for the last couple days. Your question of an advance is a good one which I hadn't thought of...

But, you do have at least limited access to a high value Swiss Bank account. The Lady has enough experience with high value jobs to know that there are "bankers" who will loan a shadowrunner money in such circumstances. Now the interest rate is not good (expect about 30%), and these are not the kind of bankers that you want to stiff, but it is an option. And with a job like this, if you fail you most likely won't need to worry about how to pay back the loan (they can take it out of your life insurance policy). And if Johnson stiffs you--well the bankers know that the money exists so they will just have to get it from her.

As for the rest of shopping you can be assumed to purchase anything you need, just make a list of what it is. As for your specific questions:

• Y 2k sounds good for a zodiac, plus the cost of any modifications.
• James's contact can get you on a freighter no questions asked. He won't even charge you for it. Of course, now that you are such good friends, he may ask a favor of you in the future. Because that is what friends do.

Somehow I have the feeling that if I dont push the game along, nobody will, which is kindof exhausting if that will always be my job.

Is everyone still in this or have we lost a couple of players already?

@humble lich: What would I have to do to find such a "banker"?

I'm still around, but to be honest I've been feeling fairly sapped due to meatspace concerns. If there's action happening I can contribute, but I don't really have the gas to be a major player right now.

I'm here, but there is only so much I can do to push things along.

As for finding a "banker", most organized crime outfits run such business. If you don't have an in with those sorts of people, any fixer worth his/her salt should know a few.

The Lady would go to the meet with the mafia contact alone, but if someone wants to join her she wont say no.

@humble Lich: Do you want to play the meeting out or do you want to fast forward through it with a simple negotiation roll?

[lonewolf1210]

I just had another idea:

The Lady will try to organize the necessary medication to keep one person alive but unconscious for at least week.

No reason not to be prepared to earn a little money on the side. If we come into the situation to capture an atzlan Bloodmage, delivering him to the Draco Foundation alive should get us a nice bonus of another million bucks.

:)

In the interest of moving things along, just roll negotiation. And you are right, the Draco Foundation (among others) would pay good money for an "interview" with a blood mage.

alright of the 100k loan were spending:

2k for the Zodiac
8k for chameleon coating(assuming the zodiac has Body 8)
12k for signature masking(6)
10k for 4x linguasoft(Atzlaner Spanish)
24k for 4x Fake SIN(6)
~500 for medication to keep a blood mage unconscious

= 56.5k

anyone needs anything else?
last chance


@humble Lich: I was refering to the bounty on blood & toxic mages set in Dunkelzahns last will. As far as I know they are still active.

*poking game to check if its dead*

I'm here, (although I've disappeared from the internet for the last couple days, sorry everyone.) Do we have any other players?
