Riggers break the rules for availability upgrades for starting players, but everyone is about to get options for rating 6 gear, so as long as you stick with the lowest-tech control rig you'll be fine. Edit: by "rating" I mean "availability". Sorry for the confusion! The "AVAIL" stat on gear...

For now, yes. Everyone got 10 karma from the last run. Expect an update in the game thread in a few hours. See you there!

Great post Shayuri! I'll be following up a bit with it today.

And a (very) short lived dragon slaying ambition! :)

December 15, 2011. 12:01 am. There's buzz on the Matrix, and Andrew Burke is in the middle of it. Thousands of torrents are flowing from a few points, all in the same tiny little area half a world away. There's a strong sense of urgency, as if he's about to witness history. In half a second...

December 15, 2011. 1:45 AM: Benjamin "Skinny" Patterson wakes up for the second time tonight, in the middle of a particularly violent coughing fit. He jolts upright involuntarily, not even bothering to cover his mouth anymore. For more than a minute, he gasps and chokes through the coughs...

Feel free! Casper is currently performing the Great Ghost Dance, along with her people. You may freely share her thoughts and feelings, but she will not stop dancing until the Great Ghost Dance is over. Also, please go ahead and give Casper her magic rating, and the adept powers that come with...

December 15, 2011. 12:15 AM: Charles St. James watches the Japanese report via direct imprint into his cyber-eyes. The news is even more terrifying to experience this way. He glances down at his sister, fast asleep on his couch. "Wake up," he says to her urgently. "Melody, Wake up!" She stirs...

December 15, 2011. Time unknown. The urge nearly overwhelms her. For some reason, she resists. Your heart will sing, the Other tells her. Or doesn't. There is no one, and yet it speaks to her. Her foot taps the floor. The television is on, but the words coming from it are not what she hears...

Alright, we'll forget about bonus Karma for now. Everyone just note the 10 karma received as a reward for a successful run. I have opened recruitment for the game. A flavor RP post (not the new run) will be up by tomorrow morning. See you all back in the Shadows!

It does seem like everyone may be worried about making it fair/even. That wasn't what I intended with this bonus karma system, and I think we can just scratch the idea for this run and just give everyone their normal karma. I can see a couple of ways we can handle this for the next run, and I'd...

Bumping this, as the first run of this campaign has been successfully completed. The team caused a nearly-measurable dip in expected profits for CTI! Way to go guys. :) Please use this thread to distribute the 5 bonus karma you all received. See you back in bizarro-Denver soon!

The Denver Chronicle 13th December, 2011 Page 9 CTI Pow! Takes One In The Teeth -by Diedre Grange, Junior Business Analyst Crash Test Industries stock suffered a five percent slide in after-hours trading yesterday. Wall Street insiders speculate this setback is due to poor reviews during a...

Saint's comlink beeps. He glances at the display in his car, and sees it's Aleksander calling him. Saint pushes a button on the dash to answer the call, and Alexander's voice comes from the vehicle speakers. "Good work, my friends," Aleksander says. "The demonstration went even more badly than...

12th December, 2011. CTI Denver Campus. 2:37pm. A corporate security sergeant holds "Kevin" against the wall. The gesture is meant to appear helpful to anyone watching the security cameras outside the dispatch office, as if the sergeant were offering a steadying hand. In reality, the...

Heartbreak does his best to clean up after the team, but given the urgency of the situation the job is bound to be a bit rushed. He flips the power back on for the drones. The last thing the team sees in the office is the drones powering back online, and resuming patrol in separate directions as...

OOC: This can be done within the Security office here. Any character can try to deactivate the cameras by knowing which terminal to use and buttons to press. Heartbreak is the most recognize exactly how to do it though.

Heartbreak jumps back into the CTI network, easily marking the host and gaining access for the third time today. Now that he's in hot-sim mode, Heartbreak is confident that "Flipper" won't stand a chance against him. If Flipper can even find him, that is... The real world seems to zip past...

OOC: Sorry if it wasn't clear before, but Heartbreak has already finished reprogramming the drones. All there is left to do is power them up. Also, the first post for this new combat round will be up this evening. See you back here later today!

Saint orders the security team to drop their weapons. "Let's see those guns hit the floor! Kick them to where we can see em or Kevin here eats a bullet and then we fight our way out, and I promise you'll join him!" Skinny adds, "You heard the man! Weapons on the ground!" The reply from the...
