No messages since the 11th...Is this game dead? Will give until tomorrow to hear back, then I think I will have to drop it...sorry...I was having such fun here too!!

So.....what's happening,,?

Sweeper continues to chase Hanes.

Run: 12d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 4, 3, 5, 1, 2, 5) = 38 3 hits

<Careful anyone coming down here. Cammy seems to be possessed by this para-plant and is attacking anything that moves. I am going after Haines..Cammy isn't going anywhere.>

melee defense: 11d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 5, 3, 2, 1, 3, 3, 6, 2) = 32 2 hits

Barely dodging the roots from Cammy, Sweeper attempts to bypass the tank and go after Hanes.

Gymnastics(?): 13d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 5, 4, 2, 3, 6, 5, 6, 6, 3, 1) = 49 5 hits

Run: 12d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 4, 6, 2, 6, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1) = 33 3 hits

<Yeah I'm good, but I think I have found Cammy and Hanes. Will see what I can do to get them out.>

Sweeper slowly walks down towards Cammy's tank.

"Hey man...what's going on? Want to help me open this tank up and get her out?"

As he talks, Sweeper move into a position where he can attack Hanes if needed.

<Yeah...it's pretty creepy in here. I am not sure I can save any of these people, but I will try if I can. Also looking for an entry into the main building from down here...how are thing up-top?>

Sweeper examines the tanks holding the people to see if he can free any of them. If not, he will then move to the other end of the room and look for an entrance into the main building.

Initiative: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 10 = 21

Sweeper looks around after dropping the guard.

<Ok, I have neutralized two guards here. Looks like they are feeding those para-plants with street people! Gonna take a quick look to see if I can enter the main building from here.>

GM: Any word on if I disabled the guard downstairs, or should I also roll initiative?

Sweeper takes a quick step and hits the guard in the back of the head.

Unarmed Attack: 15d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 1, 1, 5, 4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1) = 51 5 successes

Just need to see where this elevator leads...might be a secondary entry into the underground area! Lets wait and see what happens before we burn any bridges??

Ok, so I do not have disguise as a skill, so I can default it to Intuition (I believe) so I think I get 3 (Int) dice plus 6 agility dice..

Quick Change (2 hits): 9d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 1, 5, 1, 3) = 32 3 hits

Stripping the clothes of the unconscious guard, Sweeper quickly dresses and takes all his gear. He moves the tied and gagged guard out of direct sight when the elevator doors open.

Doe he have a comm unit? Also this elevator, does it have regular buttons and such (so I could press a button to return to the surface or see what floor I am on??

<Just waiting to see where this thing stops and what kind of drek I might be in. Sure seems like we are going down deep though!>

Fumbling with his new commlink, Sweeper finally gets online with the others.

"Umm, hey guys. So looks like I am in here. The guard shack has a hidden elevator that is taking me to some underground area. Seems like a pretty easy entry point. Oh, and the guards seem hopped-up on some sort of chem...brought mine down pretty easily. Anyway, I will try to get this thing back to ground level and maybe we can ride it to our destination! Sweeper out."

While speaking with his team, Sweeper also searches the guard for any badges, keys or other useful items. If the guard carries any kind of restraints, Sweeper uses them on him to keep him immobilize and gags the fellow with his own clothing.

Wondering if it is possible to take his uniform, or at least part of it..might make the other guards hesitate slightly to see what looks like one of their own..

Sweeper lashes out at the unsuspecting guard in hopes of bringing him down quickly and quietly.

Unarmed Attack (6P): 15d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 4, 5, 2) = 50 4 successes

Stunning only, not physical damage

Once the other guard is out of sight, Sweeper strikes the guard in the elevator with him.

Would I get a surprise round, or right to initiative?

Sweeper nods and starts to head into the guard shack, but keeps his senses alert. This guard is acting very weird, but if it helps them get in, he is willing to take advantage of the situation. He keys his comm twice to get the groups attention, just in case he needs help.

Where is the other guard in relation to sweeper? Also Sweeper has combat senses so if thy are attempting anything, he will get a perception test to detect it.

Judge Intent: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 3, 1, 3) = 15 0 Hits

First Aid: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 6) = 15 2 Hits

Sweeper is very wary of a sec guard who seems this friendly. On further interaction Sweeper feels that this guard migh be under the influence of some sort of drug.

"Oh, she stays at home, safe and sound. The streets are a dangerous place for kids. Any spare change would be great!"

Is he the only guard at this station?

Once he has finished his exterior examination of the place, Sweeper will approach the main gate and try to panhandle some money off one of the guards.

"Hey you there...got any change? Just need a bit to get something to eat for me and my little girl. Please, just a few creds??"

Sweeper slides out of the van well before they get near the facility. He edges closer to the building, taking care of marking where external security assets are located (cameras, motion detectors and guards)

Sneaking: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 1) = 34 4 hits
Perception: 9d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1) = 24 3 hits

Sweeper nods at Beta-Axe and heads to the van in a bit of a daze.

"He said 80K, right? That...that's crazy! Plus another 20K from Neonet for showing we geeked this guy?? I'm not crazy about doing wetwork. Heck I'll kill a guy if I have to, but to snuff him in cold blood...well I just don't know."

Sweeper sits in the van quietly pondering this quandary.

Sweeper leans against the door jam and watches the exchange with a serious look on his face. He stays ready for action, but looks relaxed as he sizes up the mafia muscle.

As the group passes and the party lets them in, Sweeper slips in behind the last of the mafia muscle.

"Awww man I'm gonna lose my new diggs before I can even move in! I'll keep watch in the hall and attempt to get behind them."

Sweeper heads out into the hall and scopes out a place to hide while still being able to watch for the bad guys.

"If you want just drop me off a few block away from the place and I can set myself up to watch the area and check out some of the perimeter security. Like I said before, no one really pays much attention to street people. As well I can enlist a friend of mine to help out. She would do it for a few creds and is good and remembering stuff. "

Sweeper looks around the flat in amazement.

"This is all yours? You don't share with, say, a couple of families. That's wiz! You must be doing pretty well for yourself Beta!"

Sweeper sneaks down a side street then jogs back a few blocks before coming back towards the Stuffer Shack and the rest of the party. He makes sure he is not followed before hopping into the van with the others.

"Ok, that seemed to work well. Where to now?"

"whoa now...lets not be hasty. just looking to make a few creds is all. Null persp...backing off.

Sweeper backs away towards the nearest alley.

"Sure, no problem!

Sweeper sneaks across the street then come towards the vehicle from a different direction. He takes out an old rag and starts to wipe it across the vehicle's windscreen.

Sneak: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1, 6, 5, 2, 6, 6, 1) = 35 = 4 successes

"Quick clean for ya boss! Just a few creds...nul persp! Whatever ya got in your pocket. Just need some money for food, ya know. Looking fer some action? I know where you can get some good BTL's or maybe something chemical or some companionship??"

He keeps up the banter while memorizing as much about the men and anything he can see in the vehicle.

Perception: 9d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1, 4, 6, 6, 6, 2, 6) = 39 = 5 successes

Perception: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 2, 1, 1, 6, 1, 6) = 26 = 2 hits

Sweeper also notices the vehicle and once he has his comm set up, can now listen in on what the others are planning.

Wiz! Thanks again guys!

Sweeper is in Deacon's van right now.

"Well the masters always said any fool could pull a trigger, but mastering one's CHI allows a person to accomplish the impossible. They were very traditional at the temple, and once I was on my own..well guns cost money, and I was able to protect myself and those in my neighborhood better with my hands. That's why I am here I guess..to help with my special abilities."

The young man looks a little embarrassed that he does not have the same wiz equipment as everyone else, but is quite confident in his innate skills.

"Thanks guys. I will pay you all back...promise! As for weapons...well I don't use them...well maybe a sword if I could get one. Trained at the monastery in unarmed combat mostly, but also learned some kendo."

Sweeper smiles and takes the comm from Deacon.

"Thanks! I'll pay you back from whatever we get from this show...ummm..what are we getting?"

"Ummm..I don't have a comm...sorry. But I could probably get a look at the outer security. Street people are common all over and generally blend into the background for most people."

Sweeper is in the van. He could stay behind and keep a watch on the place...after all he looks just like any other street person...

"Thanks Deacon! Wiz skin there Secretary! I have a few items which may help us get into tight places"

Sweeper takes out a maglock passkey, a set of lock picks and a sequencer. All the items are well cared for, if a little old.

"I do not use weapons, sorry. But I am really good up close and personal, and am usually quiet enough to get near my target! Dont last long in the Barrens if you can't move quietly and take care of yourself...am I right!"

not a problem...just was away for a few days and wanted to catch up...no worries for me...but poor Sweeper needs to eat..lol

"Umm..Hi? Sorry I was late, but...the...bus...hey, where is everyone going? I just spend a weeks worth of food money to just get in here and now we're leaving?"

The disheveled man follows after the group and jumps into the van.

"Wiz wheels! So whats the plan? Oh, by the way, I'm Sweeper. I'm good at getting into places and really good at personal defense."

He looks around the van and seems pretty impressed with the wealth shown there.

A small ruckus at the door into the club draws your attention to what looks like a homeless man in a tattered greatcoat and ratty old sneakers. After a bit of talking with the bouncer, the fellow holds out an honest to goodness 20¥ bill to the cooler. The fellow seems confused as what to do with the paper money, but after a few seconds takes the grubby bill and allows the man in.

Much to your distaste, the fellow makes a bee line to your table. Up close he seems to look like an average human, but on who has fallen on hard times, or perhaps has never known good ones. While his clothes are tattered and oft-patched, they are relatively clean, and the smell you feared that might follow the fellow like a lethal miasma, is absent.

"Hoi chummers. I take it this is the right place? Mr. Johnson I assume?"

Sorry for the delay getting my alias up, but here it is now....
