Sorry. Didn't mean it. It was the military officer in me coming out, being concise and straight to the point.
I was pressed for time (only had 45 minutes to post on 3-4 different threads before rushing out the door) and our group was spread put over different times in IC.
Just trying to keep it clear.

Sorry about double posting. FYI, I am on a 5-day weekend right now, with only guaranteed posting in the evenings, squeezing in all of my games in a few hours. Anything I do from mornings or during the day is either a little rushed or actually from my iPhone, thus I tend to be concise and straight to the point. I will be back to work on Thursday (Wed night for you guys).
That said, Rory posted his intentions for the evening in Wescot, leaving Kara and Nick (and Ming) now the ones bringing up the rear in the IC time-line.
Basically what we are doing is a Gather Information check among the local LEOs, the restaurants (might actually find the Police Chief there if he doesn't have a family), and finally the motel and possibly even the supermarket if they are open late otherwise the Quickymart. We can RP the encounters or not, makes no difference to me either way, but this will take a significant amount of time RL back and forth between Kara and Nick and VanorDM.
In game mechanics, it will take 1d4+1 hours, and Kara can take a 10 for a result of 15 which should be good enough to learn whatever people at those locations know about the biker's and their previous attacks (I was assuming Wescot has been hit before). I don't think the Wealth Check will apply as we are using our cover credentials instead and Feds would be bribing LEOs and innocent civilians.
What I suggest is this, we advance the clock to late evening (assuming we are not going to have any special encounters before then) when everyone is back to the motel CP and we are sharing notes and results. Then we players can ask further questions and clarifications (retro-actively) as we would have if we RP everything out.
Sound good?

Sounds fine to me... you've become the de facto "leader" of the group anyhow, it seems.

Yeah, how'd that happen? 
Actually I just really want this game to work and I have been devoting more time and energy as a result. I really wanted to play a Shadowrun game and couldn't find one. This one is close enough for me, maybe even better, since I am a D&D player/DM and d20 rules are not so new.
So far I have been having a good time on the RP side and everyone appears to be getting along and posting regular. Round of drinks for everyone!

How's this for a round?
I think we can assume we are back at the motel, but I am waiting for Nick to post before Kara will post again, since she left him a conversation hook. Don't want to skip over his opportunity.
