Prince of Boredom Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 You know, it never really occurred to me before, but that was actually a pretty slick way for that scene to end. Can't you imagine watching it on TV, as the last man standing (not counting Lodestone because his costume is lavender ) looks around, then powers down and surrenders. Nicely symbolic last line, too.And this is why Thunderbolt will NEVER take another clandestine, intel gathering mission. Not only did he get NO media coverage, but now the players are even forgetting about him! ::mad And Ms Cable was about to assign an elite to the Stranger, as soon as Vinnie gets done with her, that is...hmm, Thunderbolt looks free... ::tongue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbjørn Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 hmm, Thunderbolt looks free... ::tonguePity he doesn't fit the profile...

Alex Green Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 That and Knave doesn't seem to be around. Actually between the fatalities and the various groups needing to hire elites (Masters, etc), we might all end up over on QZ.So what are you looking for and who is left?Loadstone; Thunderbolt; DMD; Alloy; Verse; Various NPCs.

Nullifier Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 So that's a total of 12 and not 5+12? ... Either way, Alex, I think it's time for you to buy Regeneration. ::wink ::tongue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbjørn Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 So what are you looking for and who is left?Loadstone; Thunderbolt; DMD; Alloy; Verse; Various NPCs.Well, both the Ghost and the Stranger are looking for help here... The Stranger wants someone to be Fabry's bodyguard and body double, so nobody who relies on very visual powers, I'd say... Verse might be the best bet, since he can be an exact copy of the man himself. Archer has mentioned that he sees DMD as a good option too, but so does Vinnie... So it depends who gets to choose first. ::cool Of course, Lodestone is not an option for Vinnie. I'd just end up having to save his hide again... ::tongue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullifier Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Y'all should hold your horses on that stuff. Verse might not be available to you and you guys might not be the only ones hiring, so I wouldn't count on any of the PCs necessarily being available. ::unsure ::wink ::cool ::tongueEdit: P.S. Even if Verse could act as a body double, the sparks coming off him would be a dead giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nullifier Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I foresee a dark future for OMA. Oh, I dunno 'bout that. He could suddenly decide to become very cooperative.

Heritage Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Prof, quick question - how much time has passed between the events of Mike and Carla's date and your new post? I'm perfectly happy with the time jump (and the 5 XP ::thumbup1), but I just want to get some sort of reference point.p.s. Hey, PoB! Looks like our two characters are an 'item'! ::sweetlove ::wub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfPotts Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well, Masters' big meeting was meant to be that same night - so either Mike had to cut the evening short, or he tried to slip out of bed unnoticed... ::blush ::wink Slither & Ghost (& Link) would have got calls to go help Marco with his meeting with the Rush dealers (who are, as far as the PCs know, a bunch of grad-student types who've come up with a 'brilliant' new product).The Stranger, I'm presuming, does actually investigate stuff when he's not involved in his soap-opera of a love-life & overheard something which led him to the location of the deal. Janet had other things to do (she is, after all, a really busy person).Terry gets to be in the Blackburn 'cos that's where PathFinder actually lives (which he'd know if he ever got beyond the bedroom door)...Glacier is still with Miss Whiplash... er... Psyche & getting 'trained'.The MI guys were all scheduled to meet with Masters anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
