    Alright here is how we do it. Buying hits.

    Improve logic: 15d6t5 2 she’ll try again.

    Improve logic,: 15d6t5 4

    drain: 10d6t5 2

    drain: 10d6t5 3

    So 15 dice for search, +2 for being hot sim, 17 dice enough to finish all the common tasks in two hours. (with 16 dice she can just buy 4 hits – do extra hits shorten the search time? not that it matters just to know.)

    Now, let’s assume that Trouble helps her out:

    Help AM: 4d6t5 1

    18 dice:

    AM hidden rooting for 6: 16d6t5 4

    forgot about hot sim:

    2 dice hot sim: 2d6t5 1

    just 5 hits… She has only 2 edge so let’s not invest it in this thing.

    and I agree with not overwhelming Jack (and perhaps not overwhelming us).

    Is there a program to speed things up?

    Once dropping the guys AM continues straight to Jimmy. Just Jimmy no last name as if the man is hiding from someone, he has little to no marix presence, and might as well be anyone. The orc guard waves AM after an inspection and without smalltalk. AM disarms and feel vunerable without a firearm.

    She braves the large basement with endless shelves filled with stolen goods, and can feel the pleasent creativity in the background count. At the end of the room she encounter Jimmy which is painting another masterpiece. The man is a gifted painter and a talented forget. His passion affects the entire basement, he is old and pale. AM stands in the background to admit Jimmy’s craftsmanship.

    “Yes Amy?”

    ” I pay early this month” she says laying a small credstick on his table.

    He turns to face her grinning

    ” I knew you were a good investment Amy, you have this hunger in your eyes.”

    She looks to the ground and cannot face him after he sent TJ to beat her.

    “Still angry? It is not personal. Beside you needed a push toward a more profitable job.”

    “SIS?” She asks surprised.

    ” Yes, you wouldn’t have taken the job without a gentle push. You can’t do it solo Amy, we have Kira for the big jobs. Soviet education, not like you Americans. Discipline!.”

    She did not know if to be impressed or angry. “You kept me hungry on purpose?”

    “You needed a crisis to escape slavery, I did you a favor.” he says non commitedly and seeing AMs shocked expression he adds”I thank you for your loyalty” indicating that smalltalk was over. He gets back to the painting and AM exits the basement. Heavy with thoughts.

    PS It may take me a while to make an involved IC post before Sunday as I have an important deadline. Feel free to carry on (or wait) as you feel.

    Oh right, AM would pay her dues too. Thanks for reminding me.

    AM would probably do an extensive matrix search about his Lordship, and key figures around him. About the guests (if we get a list), and their interests. Mostly some pointers for conversation starters, and to understand something of the social situation.

    If she find it, she’ll be happy to put her hands on a map or pictures of the mansion.

    AM takes the pair of high heels and examines them carefully. She of course knows that women wear these, but she does not normally wear such shoes. She strokes them fondly, and then tries them on, taking a moment to stabilize herself. She takes a few careful steps, it is nice to feel taller but she is doubtful. “Perhaps if I do not need to run.” she says grinning a bit embarrassed.

    it is strange that SR people use these devices, when they have DNIs cheaper and more accessible, but the economy of that game was never really that well designed.

    AM nods in acknowledgment. She has never hunted before it seemed strange to do when food dispensers were everywhere. Would my shoes do for this job or do I need a new pair? she asks, and as she realizes that she is still in her panties, she wears her jeans.

    AM responds “Smart-wig is great. You are very kind, and a deck case is an excellent idea”. She comments Alcohol and guns indeed make a poor combination… but what is there to hunt near the mansion?

    @Jack rules question.

    So if I read Florence’s suggestion we do the smart wig/trodes the DNI allows AM to receive information without glasses? I always assumed that she can text mentally but needs to look at the deck to read/see things but perhaps my interpretation is wrong.

    AM wears her shirt and listens, she looks at the 3d model and as these clothes are far superior to what she already has, she just nods. Happy that she’ll have something decent to work in. Thank you she says

    Any chance we can armor some of my off-hours clothes? I may be called unexpectedly if there is a glitch, and you never know. “

    When asked about anything extra she adds “Glasses or contacts with an image link would help a lot. As I could receive instructions without constantly checking my link, or look at schematics while working. Perhaps earbuds for audio instructions/hand free conversations. Anything else you think I’ll need for my job? “

    “Amy” AM says, a blandly. She is a bit charmed from the elf lady around her.

    AM feels out of her element and is happy that she kept sustaining Iktomi’s blessing for some extra confidence. She unceremoniously takes of her hiking shoes and opens the zipper of her worn brown armored jacket.

    The jacket was several sizes larger than her small frame body and was of masculine design. It was the one thing she kept from her lost lover. Partly because she was emotional, but also because she was too poor to replace it.

    She takes a moment of hesitation before taking her shirt off, considering if she would prefer running away instead. She takes it off, revealing her small breasts that require no bra and the lack of body fat that characterizes elves. Feeling exposed, she unbuttons her to loose jeans and remains in her pink underwear. She expectedly looks at the elf woman for additional guidance.

    AM laughs “Never done that, never even met nobility and was trying hard not to laugh at the person offering money because of his strange terminology. I honestly do not understand why I need to pretend to be a maiden because I take care of the AR scenery. I’ll do my best, and play the part. Iktomi teaches us to be flexible and embrace change, and I’ll definitely embrace some good clothes” she says excitedly.

    AM receives the answer and turns on some music and begins to dance spontaneously. Trouble seems to enjoy the sudden change and tries to join AM, that happily lifts him and dances with him as if he was a person.

    She feels him asking through their spirit link.

    Trouble: “What happened?”

    AM: “He pays in advance, rent covered, debt covered.”

    Trouble: “You enjoy paying rent?!”

    AM: “Now, there is hope. I’ve been down for a while.”

    Trouble responds a bit shocked “As long as you are happy, I think I like music and dancing.”

    AM: “You had to think about the H-word? Just enjoy it before I ruin it.”

    The joy does not last long, AM becomes self-aware of her emotions, and then she feels worried about feeling it. Spider frowns at excessive happiness. “I better get dressed

    Trouble: “Is it something I said?”

    AM: “You are perfect, sweetie.”

    The state of her closet is depressing. Her “best” clothes are likely still not enough for Bellevue – but she is getting new clothes. Strangely that brings another smile to the modestly dressed tomboyish girl . Shortly after, she leaves in a clean white shirt, and jeans carrying her usual heavy jacket that obscures her small frame body. Most representative she can muster under such short notice.

    AM texts Cunningham >>> One thing, How do I pass inspection at the mansion? I might have a SIN problem.

    I just recalled the SIN issue AM has (R2 SIN). I’d imagine she would not have forgotten about it. Can she even participate in such a run with these credentials?

    AM says “I could not identify a lot of dishonesty with him, and Iktomi was helping. The one thing that was obvious is that we are not actually invited by his Lordship. This means that if we are exposed as criminals Cunningham is going to be in trouble considering that he gave us uniforms, and paid us, and forged credentials for us. Criminals we are, despite our effort to appear legit.


    For me the most dangerous part is that his Lordship has a fancy SIN scanner, and I doubt that my SIN will pass scrutiny and if they find out that I am not who I say I am. I’ll be kicked out of the mansion, and possibly get Cunningham into trouble and expose our mission.

    AM grins as she sees the credstick, that Genius Jawsey has just made sure that she is going to have enough money for interest on the debt, and perhaps even reduce it at the end of the month. 2/3’s of the money almost unconditionally – and before the end of the month.

    She says “Thank you for your trust, Mr. Cunningham.” She rises to shake his hand.
