"Message. Expect delivery in 3 minutes. Message ends."

The timer reading 3 minutes is rapidly counting down.

Two minutes and 30 seconds later the Vmap display on the lap top changes from the map you were using to plan with to a live camera feed of a black van arriving in front of the Lair.

Note: You had no idea the cameras worked and have no idea how to access them.

He opens the laptop and seeing the thumbprint scanner, puts his right thumb on it. After watching the screen saver for a few seconds, he hits the enter key, expecting a password prompt. Instead, a video pops up, showing a map of the city and a bunch of moving dots. There's also a column in the right-hand side of the screen marked "To-do list".

Everyone can read the to-do list on the Campaign Page. PWGM, how would Psiclops (or anyone else) know what the moving dots represent? Common Knowledge roll? With a penalty?

It is pretty easy to figure out what the dots represent. Assume the interface is easy to use.

When you activate the thumprint lock and activate V-map a new message displays...

"Greetings Mr. Wayne. Please create a code-name for your Omega cell."

There is a Reply button on this message. You note there are no reply buttons on the mission messages.

Oh and gain a benny for the Secret ID issue this just caused.

You activate the Vmap application.
The screen blanks for a moment and then displays the polygon icon as a background with the following text in the fore.

V’sory Military Activity Protocol v.1.7.
Welcome cell CELLNAME ERROR to the Vmap. This program monitors V’sori and SOCOP movements in the user’s area as well as coordinating tasks between OMEGA cells.
You have three 3 tasks and one 1 is time sensitive.

Display map:
the screen displays a Google-like map centered on you. It currently shows no V’sori activity though there is a SOCOP patrol A few blocks to the west. They are not heading in your direction. Any other activated Vmap devices are also displayed. Using this device grants a +2 to avoid the notice of SOCOP and Occupier patrols.

Tasks: The display changes to a map centered on the location of the task.

Milk Run. Time sensitive task. Priority low:

Message form Dr Destruction begins: “The V’sori have been sending, something, to the Southpoint Slashers. On an irregular schedule an armored transport leaves Beachhead and drives across town to Southpoint. I want to know what is in that transport. Whatever it is it is important enough to have a SOCOP escort until it reaches Slasher territory in Southpoint. The transport is making another run tomorrow The map displays the transports projected route at 0227. Find out what is in that transport, I do not care how. Steal it , find a manifest, or blow the thing up and sift the rubble.” message ends.

Accept/Decline.

Star City Stalker. Priority moderate:

Message from Dr. Destruction begins: ”We have a serial killer operating in Star City. Normally I would not interfere with a harmless hobby but three of the killer’s recent victims were useful to me. Find whoever is doing this and stop them or at least point them at better targets."

Accept/Decline.

Big Fish down. Priority low:

Map shifts to display pre-invasion Richmond VA. The display focuses and highlights the Sun trust bank building at South 9th st and Highway 60.
Message from Dr. Destruction begins: ”The V’sori invasion began with a wave of terror attacks made by deorbiting our own satellites into our cities. An excellent plan as it not only spread terror it also crippled earth communications system. However the V’sori were rather indiscriminate in what they sent down.
Display changes to a picture of a large satellite. This was Big Fish an apparently defunct communications satellite but in fact a very active spy satellite used by Alpha Squadron. Big Fish had a plutonium core for long-term power and judging from the lack of fallout in the area it appears to have landed intact. You will find Big Fish and bring what has survived to me."
"Transport has been arranged with the trawler Lady William. {Mooring address in the Docks given here.} Contact the captain, Mr. Jack Everett, he will be expecting you."

Accept/Decline.
