The fact that Sendings are always exactly 25 words is one of my favourite OOTS subtleties :) -Hyp.

I'm interested, with the caveat that I'll be out of the country from 18/10 to 31/10 - so if that cuts through the middle of your intended play-space, probably best not to include me. -Hyp.

My knee-jerk reaction to that is "Batman needs an awesome chin, and Renner doesn't have a chin at all". Weird and shallow, but I don't think I could get over that to see him in the role! :) -Hyp.

I laughed out loud when the choral intro to This Corrosion played . And nobody else in the cinema did. Are Sisters of Mercy better known in the UK, or did the same thing happen there? -Hyp.

Right. Cover and Network are non-refreshing pools that effectively get cannibalised to provide a pool in a specific cover or contact. The only way to increase Cover and Network is to spend XP on them.

So that's a vote for "Head for Sarajevo immediately and set up a safehouse"? Works for me - any other opinions?

While others handle information-gathering and research, Ashcan would like to get to Sarajevo ASAP - firstly, to get a feel for the rhythms of the city and the lay of the land, and secondly to drive a couple of the routes east towards the Serbian border in preparation for the exfiltration. Do we...

"Quoiet and discreet, then? In and out, none the woiser?" Ashcan winks at Gabriella. "Sounds loike one of your jobs, a leanbh..." He cracks his knuckles and leans back in his chair. "Roight up until it turns into one of moine, of course. They always do in the end."

"That was a deliberate tactical maneuver, and you won't foind another man who'd have pulled it off," Ashcan huffs. "Don't worry, Rudek, Oi've no plans to trash your Jeeps. Oi just have a few... modifications in moind."

Ashcan scoops up one keyring. "No complaints if they aren't in quoite the same condition when we return them?" he asks, and flashes Rudek an impish grin.

It sounds like we have some competing assumptions going on - I'm assuming that the NATO General lives on the NATO base... and if he's turning over his command to a successor in six days, I'm guessing he probably won't be doing much travelling outside of the base itself - too much to do. If he...

"Never underestimate the power of red tape, boyo," Ashcan puts in. "His quarters are on the NATO base, same as his office, roight? So even though the security should be the same - if the regulations say computers don't leave the office, that's Holy Writ to the military moind."

Ah, okay - so Dedopovic is in Serbia (like, 100 kilometres from Sarajevo, at least a couple of hours' drive), not in Republika Srpska (the Serb-dominated political entity within Bosnia, whose boundary is somewhere near the eastern edge of Sarajevo)? (Sarajevo marked below - right next to the...

To clarify - does this mean crossing the IEBL from Bosnia and Herzegovina into Srpska? (Someone named that place with a lousy hand of Scrabble tiles!) It doesn't look like Camp Butmir is very far from the boundary. Wikipedia implies there's not really anything in the way of border control...

This is something Ashcan will raise later in the meeting, after others have had the opportunity to raise any more pressing matters, but I'll post it now so as to minimise PbP comms delays. "You mentioned that you can provoide vehicles - is that strictly off-the-menu, or can you deliver to order...

Ashcan nods, satisfied by the answer. It doesn't mean they'll avoid all NATO entanglement during the mission - Lennart's still a General, with all the official security that implies - but at least if they pull it off successfully, NATO won't be hunting them afterwards to get their top-secret...

Ashcan declines the offer of refreshments, eager to get down to business. "Told you a hundred US wasn't the real rate," Ashcan says, nudging Persephone with an elbow. (One of these days, she'll appreciate his jokes. It's a gradual wearing-down process.) "So... is this bona-foide NATO data...

Ashcan's not expecting betrayal from Rudek - he can't think of any unfinished business from last time that would necessitate a complicated revenge. But Rudek could have any number of enemies out there, and Ashcan doesn't want to end up as collateral damage from an attempt on someone else's...

Ashcan's spent most of today at the hotel, and watching the traffic on the Promenade outside. Given the meeting room location, he'll take a little time to figure out if there are obvious locations to set up for observation or sniping - the building across the street with a window that looks...
