Subject: the Orca Run, what I need
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 1994 18:03:04 -0500
Ok, this is what I need for the Orca run from the people involved:

Cyberware and Bioware: just a general idea and speciality items. If you have
a smartgun link, it's not vital to know that. But if your Wired 3s in
conjunction with your Enhanced Articulation and your Enlarged Lungs, plus the
Flourocarbon blood replacements make you move like a cat and impossible to get
tired, that's important. That way I can integrate it better.

Weaponry: You were getting paid extra if you could keep this relatively quiet,
but if not, you're going to need the big guns. So tell me what you plan on
using for either situation, and this includes melee too. If you have special
weapon skills or abilities(like "I'm a physad with a Combat Axe focus 3"), then
tell me that too.

Armor: Just as it says. If it's distinctive looking or normal, or stolen off
a dead Lone Star cop(it's not my fault he fell off his bike...when he rear-
ended me because I slammed on my brakes and he did an endo over my car), then
I might need to know that too.

Special skills: Some of you are specialists into Electronic warefare or
similar goodies. Tell me them too, and how you want their speciality to be
used(preferably. I can make no die-hard guarantees). Also, it'd be really
nice to know exactly what the character does so I don't have to figure it out
by peicing together the parts you provide me.

Personality: You all accepted a job that not only pays REALLY well, but you
did so knowing that you would be killing one or two persons if you couldn't get
them out alive. So this is an extraction/wetwork combo. So I'm going on the
assumption that you don't mind this. If there is anything special that the
character would or wouldn't do for whatever reason, please tell me so I don't
make mistakes(I've done it before, as several others can testify).

Anything else you want to include is fine too.

I'll be posting a plot synopsis shortly and asking via Talk to have people get
in touch with me if they can. If not everybody is still involved for whatever
reason(like they signed off), I'll take up the slack with NPCs(read "cannon
fodder").

thanks a lot, folks.

Brian
