Ummm, yeah... but your charcter IS a rigger. I see a little
contradiction here.

Of course, she is a sorcery adept too. *grin*

Yes, she uses drones for surveillance and she likes fast cars. She got
the VCR put in because the guy she was working for as a courier wanted a
good chauffeur. Trust me, I DIDN'T become a rigger for the Steel Lynxes.

(Anyway, Steel Lynxes can't wear pretty shiny gold longcoats!)

Well, there is that...

and delaying the enemy, and, observation, and oh of course good old
detective style

If you have to ask then it's probably classified.
Which means that I have to follow protocol.
But if you ask nicley I might forget that you asked.
Then again maybe not.

Oh..I love drones..I was experimenting with a [I think it was] Suzuki
Hellion..It is a humanoid drone..We ruled no mounted weapons hand held
only..They did benifit from recoil reduction though and no human armor since
it gets vehicle grade armor It could wear a long coat and stuff in
order to try and blend a little..Anyway..I didn't get to try it out too much
before things fell apart and every moved..I was trying to see just how much
a rigger could still get to interact with the group and still run
surveillence drones and generally protect his vehicle..It seemed to be
working out fairly well..I think I got the designs from an old NAGEE..I could
be wrong..If you want I will dig around and let you know..I have been working
up some .bmp pics of some drone that I might send out to those what asks for
'em I have to transfer tham from another computer and it might take me a
while but If you want to see some of the stuff I've worked up let me know..
