Message no. 1 Okay folks,
So the insanity of everyday college life kind of had me by the throat
for the past week and a half. . .okay okay. Anyways, here's the data that
my character would have responded to via TK:

MAGICAL STUFF:
Maxim has LOTS AND LOTS os elementals at this facility. They usually only
have around two, maybe three or four at most at their other facilities,
but the one we're dealing with here has 12 (raning from force 4 to 9);
more good news, three of the twelve are greater elementals.
On the shamanic side of things there are 3 spirits of different forces
there also.
For recon and patrol, I guess, Maxim has between 10 and 15 watchers
roaming the area around the site as well as specific locations in the
site itself.
Maxim's security group (MSI) has 10 mages on the site, which is also
double of what they normally would have: these break down into (2) mages,
(2) shamans, (3) sorcery adepts, (2) conjuring adepts, and (1)
psychometry adept. There are also (5) physical adepts that are not
counted as magicians. . .
MAT and MAS each have (2) magicians---one each type of elemental adept.

MILITARY MAGICS:
Each military squad has a full combat mage, physical adept, and a
second full magician (either shaman or elemental adept.

OTHER STUFF:
Some of the areas are actively warded and these are the undergroun
access tunnels to the main eractor. One stores magical goods and shiny,
new, and $$$$ cyberware. The other is a short-term holding ground for
nuclear storage purposes.

And, if you remeber what AJ said about the number of squads of military
troops per platoon, etc, that means at least 9 combat mages, 9 physads,
and 9 more magicians(either a shaman or an elemental adept, in case it
wasn't quite clear) in addition to the standard security magicians.

And the reason that Shade didn't get all this is because most of it is
hidden inside buildings or underground.

Now, this means that Maxim has total of(adds the stuff up) 13 full
magicians, 14 physical adepts, and 19 misc. magical adepts, excluding the
special forces which would bring that total up to 18/21/20, half of which
are military trained.

Keep this in mind. We'll have to come up with a way to sow a lot of
confusion in the Astral too, but Shade's idea of using the local spirits
has a lot of merit.

I'm going to have to stay out of the planning here a good amount, because
I'm going to be writing up the sucker and don't want to make it too
easy. :) But I'll tell you about stuff that will fail obviously, and so
far, you people have come up with stuff I'd not thought of. Cool.
