Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

Optic holds up an electronic datapad with the specs for what he wants from his new 'cloaked spy satelite'
"But first, I'm sure you're aware that, as a legitimate businessman in the states, I have an image to uphold. What kind of assurances do you give or precautions do you take to make sure nobody else will know about my purchase, or have access to the records?"

[sblock=ooc]
For future reference since they may come up during the conversation:
Diplomacy+16, Sense Motive + 16, Knowledge:Business+9, All Knowledges+5

Also, I'm not the best 'negotiator' IRL, so if anybody else has any suggestions for how to get through this, feel free to share your input, otherwise I'll do my best.

Optic's social stats are better than Hope's at this point. Not sure what she can do to help.

(Rolls some stuff: Still RP as best you can, but you shouldn't have to personally have an amazing diplomacy score any more than Elric should have to be able to lift 5 tons)

"Each office is tied to a production facility, with state-of-the-art physical and computer security, all coordinated by a site-specific AI unit. Few could threaten such security. Nonetheless, we offer limited tours of our local facilities once the deal is set and you have provided the money for your order. This order is large enough that you cna qualify for the tour if you pay in advance. This will be an expensive order. It will run about $12 million."

Shooting Star lets the other ladies select appropriate clothing, but adds gloves. She'll also take a laptop computer (if available).

Megan seems to pay more attention to the expensive furnishings, fussing with her clothes, and her thoughts than to potential dangers. If know/figure out why we're actually here, they'll still invite us to their other facility to set us more at ease and so they can ambush us in an isolated area. A super fight in the middle of the city would probably attract unwanted attention to their operation. Let's hope those files hold up - someone should have mentioned it way before I did though. There's just so much money here. I wonder if Optic does big international deals like this often? Maybe if my programs work well, I try to get a real job with his company. But this Trust thing is taking up most of my time.

"Gruzi!" she says enthusiastically. "I'm Clara! Welcome to ..well, you know." She points to an impeccably-groomed man in a three thousand dollar suit. "This is Mr. Heinrich Wagner, and" pointing to a young, weasily-looking man next to him "his associate Viktor von Krup. Anyone want coffee? Tea? Anything?"

Gruzi? What the? I thought this was a French speaking place. Hmm, was it ?German? instead. Or in addition? And hey, this Krup guy looks just as out of place as I do. "I'll have water, please." (Which will probably come with carbonation in Europe. Freaks ) Not totally sure what I should be doing here. Hmm.

I think that most of the talk of undercover work was out of character comments.

I'd also think that Hope would consider that any kind of ventilation in this place would come booby trapped in case of irritating do-gooders crashing the place.

IC
For all outside appearances, Hope appears calm and even friendly, acting exactly like a secretary of a powerful business man should act, though Clara would probably suspect that she is some sort of magical bodyguard, in addition to the more visable muscle that Nitro represents.

She shakes her head at the question of coffee or water. "No, but thank you for asking," she said politely.

(You're right, that was an OOC remark. I'll take it out later.)

(And if there is no ventilation system, then that's the Foundry being evil too. They just can't win (for values of winning that include being presumed innocent, and not the ability to kick our asses). )

ooc:
No big. The only reason why Hope volunteered herself was that she was a relative unknown or if she was known, she wasn't exactly known as a 'hero type'. Hee. Hope wouldn't be doing her job if the supers liked her immediately upon first sight.

Megan stifles a yawn. Those nightmares were just cheap shots. Not my fault. Well, not everything.

"How much leeway would we have for altering the orbit once the satellite is launched?" Gravitics make fuel limitations much less of an issue, but there's still power limits. Plus too much delta v probably screws up the cloaking.

"You can only move it so fast and keep it cloaked, although for an extra cost we can increase the speed of the cloaking mechanism's reaction and adaptation time."

Dressed similiarly as the other woman, Nightweaver keeps a neutral expression on her face and an eye on their hosts.
