Welcome everyone. First off, I hope everyone has finished up with character creation, if not, let me know and I'll help out if I can.
I would like to help flesh out the campaign and include as much input into designing the game to fit your characters as I can, so if you have things you want to develop around your agent, let me know here or privately at dearmsteadjr@aol.com.
From everyone I would like to get a Knowledge roll, to see how much,if anything, you may know about M Cell.
Also I would like to get a Luck roll, to see how the fates are viewing your agents at the start of the game. This roll will effect some of the things to come, but just how may not be readily apparent.
Welcome to the Apocalypse.
Dot.

Looking forward to a good game.
Reporting in with Aidan Rhune for final review and Dotting.
Will have my full alias created by today.
Cell N code name will be Nolan.
Do I have to explain were all my money is in assets, like house, car, etc... plus how much in the back?
Do I include standard weapons I would be using in the profile, like a rifle and hand gun?
Generally, 10% of the character's wealth (half of the yearly salary) is in cash and savings, with an additional equal amount in negotiable stocks, bonds, or transferrable assets. The remaining amount is considered home, transportation, and luxury items.
I'd say it would be ok to assume that normal equipment has already been bought and paid for, so it would be expected that you may own a personal handgun, perhaps a "hunting" related firearm as well, but just document them now please.
As to the bulk assets, it would suffice to say something like I rent my Washington DC apartment, own a family summer cottage in the Hamptons, and drive a 2009 Saab that has seen a few miles but is comfortable. Or maybe on the side, you have invested in a little start up computer company with an old buddy old pal from high school.
If you want it to be a part of your character, then let's make it known now.

Also, since DG cells are three man, I am happy to remain Cell J(and retain the code name James, with its referential humour based on the Laundry and the real world James Jesus Angleton ), or take a cell N code name.

Lets go with IRS Agent Patricia Michaels,and Detective Anthony Myers
Thanks. I'm in PR on a business trip, but should have access at night. I tried to post some background last night but the Internet wasn't cooperating (Common when I'm here). So I'll try again tonight.
Jesus Phone is slang term for the I Phone, referring to the way many early adopter of the I-phone(not to mention apple themselves), where like some kind of messianic cult.
For Agent Angleton
Rhune and Thane head for the airport, making good time thru DC traffic. They have their travel iteneraries, the files on Mitchell, and their "official" cover docs. A valet takes their car at the airport, they are processed through Pre-Check quickly, your badges rushing you past the other passengers in line. By the time you arrive at the commuter terminal, you have roughly fifteen minutes before your flight boards. Outside the windows, a Colgan Air SF-340/B finishes final preflight inspection. Roughly ten other passengers wait with you to load. The small lounge is open, with two other passengers enjoying a drink and the TV news, waiting and relaxing. A small newstand and gift kiosk stands nearby, stocked with overpriced travel items and tourist geegaws.
Angleton and Marks have a bit more hectic drive from the restraunt to the storage facility. Was the traffic, the driver, or both, but a few narrow misses and you are there. The keys you were given are to Michaels' and Morozini's apartments. Each ring had an identical locker key you assume will let you into the storage unit, numbered 312 on the passcard. The facility seems to have both seasonal and climate controlled units of various sizes, indoor and open air, with a large backlot for storing vehicles, trailers and shipping containers. The passcard opens the security gate, a bored guard glances out his station window before turning attention back to his magazine. The unit is at the end of a side lane, a large 8' by 10' unit.
An RFID token is a security token. It uses radio frequency signals, typically to generate a numeric code that is specific to that registered token, for use with a specific security system. It can be used to track locations, allow access to secure areas or systems by entering the current numeric sequence, verified by said security system, or when combined with an additional passcode or word specific to an individual user.
See wikipedia for security token for examples and a better explaination than I can muster.
Angleton's go bag is a heavy duty rucksack

Sorry to see you go Josh. With your permission, and the groups consent, I will NPC your gentleman, unless the group wishes to recruit someone else. If possible, perhaps you can rejoin should time permit.
I myself have been working mandatory overtime for the past two months, so I sympathize.
As am I. Either way works for me.
Fine by me.
Sorry guys. I'm in West Virginia, dealing with getting power back and other related issues. Power is up and down, but should be stable by Friday. I should be able to post regularly by then. Thanks for being patient with me.
The investigation at the storage facility begins at about the same time as the flight boards and leaves Dulles, so the agents there have about an hour or so to examine and explore there before the others land in West Virginia and can be contacted.
