Andy gives the immediate area around and behind good looking over before he replies. "Nothing to the rear here that I can see. Let's go forward and check out the side tunnel for ourselves to decide if we want to take it or not."

Andy steps aside at the start of the ledge to let everyone else pass. He seems content with taking the rear guard position.

Andy resolutely starts heading after the ATRV down the tunnel. "Let's not waste any time, shall we? The hound has the scent and we have but to follow to our quarry..."

"Well, which way do we go?" Andy asks Johnny while sweeping the area with his torch. "This area is clear as far as I can tell."

Andy flips down his NODs and turns on his IR-filtered tactical torch under the barrel of the SMG. Giving the platform a good sweep, at least for the 40 meters that the light is good for identifying if a suspect has a weapon or not, he steps out onto the reinforced concrete of the platform itself. "Well, which one?" gesturing at the tunnels that the trains used to use.

Andy gratefully takes some of the balloons and carefully tucks them into his large external coat pockets. Taking up the rear slot of the group, he follows his compatriots down the escalators.

Andy nods in agreement as he shrugs into his long, olive-green armorjack, "Sounds good to me." Checking the bungie-style sling that holds his SMG under his right arm, Andy press-checks his chamber and puts the weapon under the jacket. "Since the signal degraded so fast when we got near one of the voo-doo/hoo-doo types before, you have any signal repeaters in case the network down there has been stripped or simply isn't working?"

I'm waiting on the other players to post first, myself. Getting tired of having the be the prod around here.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Well, the gun seemed to work just fine last time... Besides, Andy's life finally has a direct purpose again (kicking the arse or whoever is behind this) and he seemed to suffer negligible effects last time he punked down a beastie. God got him this far so Andy will assume he'll get him the rest of the way. GOOO FANATIC! *crowd roars*

As for planning, how about we just assume that we got the plans and most recent maps for the underground (Andy knows people in the Security Services, after all), Johnny has given us the skinny on the zombies and that we'll be remoting as we go. I'm not here for a dungeon crawl with some crazy-ass map and I'm sure that Bookwyrm isn't here to provide one for us. This is a narrative medium we have here, like a novel, so let's just let him do his thing and get us to the next scene, shall we?

<panic>Ah! Argh! NOOO!

 

MORE PLANNING!

 

 

You've heard 'Don't Bring a Knife to Gunfight' - You're bringing Guns to a Spiritual war!?!

 

Double Tapping the evil little girl thing did what? Got Andy attacked by a cranky spirit and didn't necessarily prevent the body from being possessed and driven around again.

 

 

Times that by 10. Or 20. How about 50? No-one's told me there's a population cap on how many can be down there, or that there's nothing else nastier possible, or that there's no deliberate human agency involved...

 

 

If you need an ex-Ghoul body to chronomance and get background data on - get back to that industrial site for the japanese school girl body.

 

If you wanna get eaten alive on HDV, Jason will nauseously record your demise, then run like Hell...

 

If you wanna do this right, we go reeeaaal careful; remote when we can, stealth when we can't, and run when we're spotted; until such time as we can own anything that waves a tentacle at us.

 

...but, if you ignore the warning, Jason will hand out lapel-cams and try and lead the way with an expendable buggy* he remotes from a long way away. *s*

</panic>

 

 

(All terrain buggy - a drum on either side with a thread means it can traverse land or water with ease and handle accurately, unlike a hovercraft. Good stable camera platform.)

Andy will go grab a light armorjack and some multi-optic goggles (low-light, thermal, anti-dazzle) before heading down. I figure the best time to go would be when the trains shut down for the night (if they shut down). Less chances of an issue with being seen when you only have to worry about the crews being around and they're pretty spotty. East Putney strikes me as being as good a place to start as any.

My only thought was, "Our random asshattery is making this thing drag on as he tries to wade through it", honestly. No worries on the hold-up, bro. We're all adult-types with stuff going on.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

At the risk of sounding like a complete cunt, is interacting with every random on our way to the room or to get Bobby's status really necessary? I realize that Bookwyrm has a Real Life so maybe we should just hop from important bit to important bit as we go along like they do in the movies. I'm perfectly fine with a doctor walking by randomly in earshot telling us that "the unimportant NPC is unconscious right now" or a random phone call telling us where to go next as potential examples.

I honestly think that my first foray into PbP here failed for this reason...

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Didn't know where else to put this so here we go. My power supply decided to taker a flaming crap on me a few days ago. Got a new one on order so I'll be offline for a bit. Should be back by Tuesday at the latest.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Well, everyone knows that lighting people on fire is the coolest ability EVAR, Mike!

Merry flamin' Christmas, hosers! :flame:

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

I think that the limits of nanotechnology would be on efficiency. It's great for small stuff but you can still build a car a lot faster without it than with it. Why program something as hideously inefficient as nano-building a skyscraper when it's faster to use the old methods?

It's great for some stuff but the limitations are mostly in scale, IMO...

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Well, if he'd rather have cheap crap than the good stuff, and Jameson is fairly good, then I can change stuff out as needed. Me? I wouldn't bitch about getting a 15 quid bottle of scotch, myself.

Edit: DOH! Just realised that it's 10 AM so that will speed things up a bit. Editted post for therapy session in the afternoon and getting the goodies then. Guess we'll be making our move that night before he can really get rollin' on his stank.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Mark is having all sorts of fun with long days at work, cleaning his apartment, having a perfect day out with the wife on Saturday on the gorgeous Oregon Coast, my grandmothers boyfriend's funeral today and other general sundry duties required of him. Looks like too-damn-busy fairy hopped the redeye acrossed the pond and CONUS and decided to drop ol' psychophipps a little present.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Still waiting for a PM or e-mail with my character back (I don't have a copy) with some idea of what you're looking for.

I don't know about y'all, but I'm pretty fired up about this one.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

I just combined the two skills, myself. "Grooming and Style" skill to represent a character's ability to basically 'clean up' and fit into different situations with what they wear. I think the classic "punk at a country club dinner party" is an extreme, but appropriate, example. Also, as mentioned above, it shows that you're comfortable with what you wear. Dressing up a cheap thug in Versache(sp?) just means he looks like a cheap thug in fancy clothes. Anyone really trained to be aware of their surroundings will notice him right away as an anomaly.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Well, I really reeled backon my posting quite some time ago. Honestly, I have given up on R.Tal CP as I feel that there is very little chance of me ever getting around to playing it again what with the new edition being what it is and my general malaise when I think about 2020.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

Just read it, myself. Not too shabby and very CP in feel if not application. This guy isn't too bad a writer but he...over-grits?...sometimes. I would have liked the character more if he was more of a self-serving prick than a boy scout in the guise of Death Solo.

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

God i cant even imagine posting that many times unless i put stupid replies like this one.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

On the contrary, some of us have managed to have a pretty high post number while maintaining a higher level of quality than the above. Well, I like to think I've managed to do so.

Up to you to decide, I guess... *shrugs*

Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! )

"Sounds like a plan to me", Aubrey says. "You go get some intel while I see about getting some decent equipment in case we need to go out into the boondocks to get to the target."

Aubrey chuckles from the kitchen as he picks up the other mugs of coffee for everyone. "20 years of habit by necessity takes a while to disappear." It might not be fancy-dan coffee but it's by far the best cup of canned joe anyone's had. Seeing the surprised looks he smiles knowingly, "It's a secret that only sergeants learn..."

Aubrey lets out a low whistle as Patrizia enters the living area that can barely be heard over the sounds of cooking and caterwauling from the bathroom. "Breakfast will be ready soon" an appraising eye obviously enjoying the view of a beautiful woman in the morning. "You guys all sleep ok?" the former Ranger asks as he places the plates of food out on the table in the most likely spots for people to sit at.
