OOC: I'm still here. But, suhiira, hasn't been on the forum since their last post in this thread. I'm concerned something may have happened to them.
OOC
My appologies. My PC went belly up (motherboard) and all I have available is an ooooooold XP laptop and the the forums havn't allowed me to log in (since XP is no longer supported). For some reason it permitted me to just now. BUT I have no clue if I'll be able to get back in tomorrow etc. So we play it by ear. Eventually I'll get my PC back and we'll be back to normal (well ... as normal as I get).
END OOC
Gremlin looks around at everyone ... pointedly not looking at Kumiko.
"So no one wants ta jump ship 'cause a her?"

OOC: I'm glad you are ok! Good to see you back.
"Gremlin, I'l follow you to any place. If you say it's ok, I'm ok too. And we know we are all expendables to those who pay us."

OOC: I'm glad to hear it was just computer troubles and not terrible sickness.
Talon shoots a grin at Gremlin, "Jump ship? Nah, a jobs a job and with a corp here it sounds like this flight could be fun."

(( OK, nothing from Jinx or Kumiko yet so we'll assume they have some problems with each other to iron out (who'd a thought) and Chita will, of course, stay with Kumiko. ))
Gremlin looks a little pleased, and embarrased, by the praise and loyalty.
"K then, job ain't too difficult. But tha fallout if we screw it up could be pretty severe. Seems tha Yaks are uppin tha antie an' the Chinks ain't to happy 'bout it. At tha moment everyone is pretty well matched. Tha Tongs control mosta' tha docks an' seagoin smugglin; tha Yaks 'er runnin drugs an' whores; the Whops got protection an' land smugglin. Word is tha Yaks 'er lookin ta get inta tha overseas smugglin business. Tongs don't wanna start no war by gettin personally involved so they cum ta us."
"Now I know wut yer thinking, we ain't no cyber-ninja-gurkha-commandos so fightin tha Yaks ain't a winnin proposition. Yer right, it ain't, so we ain't gonna fight em. Yaks been building up an armory a high end gear ... we're gonna blow it up."
At this point he pauses and looks around to see everyone's reactions.

Hernbando jaw seems to fall.
"To... blow it up? Isn't the armory probably well guarded?"
"To... blow it up? Isn't the armory probably well guarded?"
Since neither of the other two seem inclined to comment Gremlin continues ...
"Course it is, why we're gonna use subterfuge not brute force."
* At this point he passes out chips (If your character doesn't have a chip slot and viewer, or at least a PDA, what kind of edgerunner are you!!!) that have a map of the area where the armory in located, and some estimates on Tong numbers. *
(( Basically the "armory" is located in the center of the second floor of an old apartment complex. No windows, one door, not particularly reinforced, it was originally a machinery space so the walls and floor are solid, but not "armored". The building is used by the Tong as a safehouse so there will be people around but not so many as to draw any significant attention, the estimate is 6-15, averaging around 10. No information on locks or security features is available at this time. It's not to far from other Tong controlled buildings, so if an alarm is triggered reinforcements will be fast and numerous, if not terribly well armed. ))
"Any a you got any experience wit' explosives?"

"Any a you got any experience wit' explosives?"
Hernando takes the chip and plugs it in one of his slots; he waits some moments to assimilate all the information.
"No, but I could try to buy some chip. Someone must have create on".
"No, but I could try to buy some chip. Someone must have create on".
[[sry for delayed response am some what swamped due to season pickup @ work]]
jerome slots the chip and takes a couple of seconds to let all the info sink in, some of the anxiousness has dissipated and some replaced with the new info - though he liked the chances a bit more now that he knew the job was some what more a kin what he had experience with...
jerome hesitates for a sec at gremlin's question [[are demolitions considered explosives? if so jerome will chim in that he has a limited experience with them - other wise disregard this]]
we need be very silent or *makes a rude gesture of getting hammered*

Taking and slotting the chip from Gremlin, Talon remarks, "Explosives aren't really my light of fancy. Better with my legs and guns to be honest. Do you think we'll need to get into the armory itself, or would more general demolition be acceptable?"
(( That they are, just a fancy/military term for them. ))
"Looks like Shed here iz our demo expert, gratz, ya got a job! Nando yer gonna be his assistant an' bodyguard while he's doin that. Talon yer overall job security, be where ya think ya need ta be when ya think ya need ta be there. Me ... I'll be hiding safe an' sound nearby running coms an' surveillance *he smiles* there's some 'vantages ta bein' older."
"No need ta git inta tha armory, but ... might make fer some nice shoppin."
(( While I'm unwilling to NPC peoples characters, i.e. Jinx and Kumiko, if you think you need more muscle Chita is available. ))

Rodik responds with a smirk, "That it might. Shame it sounds like I wont get a chance to shop." Looking over at Hernando, "If you get in there, make sure to grab something nice."
"Gremlin, when we looking to take this gig?"
jerome looks around and asks "we play safe to blow , or want get hand on toys before blow it?" with a bit of a smirk on the latter part of his question - which makes it kind of clear which option he prefers, then adds "maybe blow will be better for make less trouble" to make sure the others understand he will play ball either way.
Gremlin grabs five headsets, passes out three, puts on one, and drops the last in his bag as a spare.
"Off we go then."
He leads everyone to the nearby NCART and you catch it to the "Harbor View" station (Hernando recognizes this from his first job with Gremlin) then walks toward the harbor itself steering clear of "Game Boys" and "Wild Things" turf. You arrive, not to far from where Hernando and Gremlin last set up surveillance, and Gremlin points out the building (if you have access to "Night City" it's pg 87, the building SW of #16 and NW of #13/14/15). Pretty big place, no way you have enough explosives to level it, so proper placement of what you do have will be vital.
After a bit of looking Gremlin decides to set up atop a building to it's SW ("Osborne-Spielberg Publishing" pg 82 # 3).
"May hav'ta vacate come daylight, but'll do fer now." He then passes out a handful of survellience bugs and points out various points surrounding the building he'd like them placed. "Ya'll take a stroll 'round tha target an get a look at tha area, and place these while yer at a it."
