Ummm, calling Rasputin.....

Officially SpotOn has still not been informed of the team composition, or
the run time... which by the way is currently scheduled in the next
couple of days. *sigh* However, I'll try to cover this bit as best as
I can in my next post (a couple of hours away).

Oh, just something I noticed, as far as I know Rasputin has encrypted
everything privately to each of us, and suddenly Ice is confering with
Silence about the run. Hmm, maybe I missed something...

And one other thing, while the idea of this mage hedging his bets each way
has some appeal (although I'd like to know _how_ Ice discovered this
information), it only indicates that he'll try to botch the mission
somehow, remember he still has to get out alive, none of us should have
any indication that he intends to double-cross and nail the team.
Although SpotOn would normally have no trouble blowing him away on the
above suspicion (although she is not aware of any of this), she isn't
being paid to, therefore, will not, unless absolutely necessary.

And finially the main point of this posting... run details

SpotOn is a human FEMALE physical adept (not initiated) with best skills
Rifle 8, Urban Stealth 8 (+2 dice) who touts herself as a sniper (she is
good at it). Frankly, she doesn't like the idea of relying on an employer
for magical support, so she has arranged for a Lvl 9 great form forest
spirit to sit next to her position and 'catch' any spell that might come
her way. Oh, if things get really hairy on the run she'll drop the old
sniper rifle and crack out her missile launcher (She has Heavy Weapons 2,
*grin* it's a new toy.)

To Dean Esam;
RE: Rasputin Run

I think there was one post where I mentioned to Ice the other parties that
were involved. <If not we'll fudge <grin>>.

But Hold on the SpotOn, if you havent posted already on this, SpotOn was
going to be Rasputin's ace in the hole, which hadn't been mentioned to the
other parties involved. Rasputin likes to have a sniper there to cover
himself, incase the runs goes sour a good sniper can save the day, by
either pinning down Security forces, or if the runners double cross him, by
popping the runners.

But if you already posted to him, well then we'll drop this part. Rasputin
did mention briefly to Ice that there would be another party for backup,
but didnt give names.

Oh and SpotOn carries a missle launcher backup ? Oh I do love this girl !
<G> SpotOn was hopefully being hired to one just be there, with a retainer
fee to this matter. If her services are needed then the retainer is
doubled. Rasputin will give her a ear mike, or frequency if she prefers to
keep in contact with him if needed.

As for how Ice found out about Kile, hmm I guess he could have seen
payroll records to Kile's name.. or who knows maybe they are silly enough
to keep records of runs <for financial reasons> in their databases..

Well till later..
