[Mi-Go Agent]

"We can also look in the real world for rumors - there's an establishment, Confessions of a Mask, that we might stop at," Vange suggest, waiting casually for Patrick to check his mail.

Patrick,-Ey brother! Remember me? It's Dine! I have business to talk to you, and some easy money. Dine is a small dealer. He is slimmy, coward, and avoids any personnel risks, but he also avoid to double cross his parteners... unless it is absolutely necessary.

[Mr. Handy]

"That's a good idea," says Patrick. He replies to the mail: "Hey, Dine. What did you have in mind?"

[kabukiman]

Patrick,Well, there is some professors of a university from some place in the east coast that are organizing an expedition to the Canada for some ruins. They had to buy the usual escort and need some runner, but I guess that Arasaka was too expensive, so they must use freelancers. They don't want boostergangers too, boy, those guys are picky! So I thought that you and that crazy fellow that is your friend would be ideal for the job. So, for my usual 10% it's your job.

[Mr. Handy]

"I'll pass the info along," replies Patrick to Dine. "How much are they offering?" He speaks to Vance. "Just got a message from a small-time fixer named Dine. Some university professors are looking for an escort and a runner for an expedition to explore some ruins in Canada, and he thought we'd be perfect for the job. Dine's too much of a coward to take jobs himself; he'd much rather get the 10% fee for arranging them while staying safe at home. He can usually be relied on not to betray people he does business with - unless he has no other choice."

Patrick,about 300$ a day for a month, plus the food and an insurance for any accident/lost material. The money is not much, but the rest is good.

[Mr. Handy]

"Dine says the job pays about $300 a day for a month," Patrick tells Vance, "plus food and insurance for accidents and lost equipment. Not a bad deal. If we do this, I'll easily be able to afford a better deck and some more programs to go with it.

OOC,Did you really mean $300 per day? That's $90,000 for 30 days' work. It doesn't make sense that he'd say "the money is not much" when that is a lot of money.

[kabukiman]

OOC,No it's 9000$ for 30 days. I used the prices for the corpos and reduced since you don't belong to a corp

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Okay, so it's $30 a day. That makes more sense. I edited my post above to reflect that. Is that money for each of us, or split between the two of us?

[Mi-Go Agent]

"Professors? But I couldn't, not again - but this time they'll pay me. I can't resist. Sign me up."

[Mr. Handy]

"Okay, I'll let Dine know," says Patrick. "He gets 10 percent, but that still leaves $8,100." He replies to Dine: "We'll take the job."

[kabukiman]

OOC: Its 8100$ for each.

Patrick,Great! Take a plane then and go to the university of Arkhan. It's the departement of Social and Equality Historical Studies of Integrated Humankind and Patrimony

[Mr. Handy]

"Dine says we need to catch a flight to get to the University of Arkham," says Patrick. "The professors organizing the expedition are with the Department of Social and Equality Historical Studies of Integrated Humankind and Patrimony - whatever that is."

[kabukiman]

OOC: Can we follow to Arkham, or do you want to do anything else?

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,We'll need to ship our weapons there, since we won't be allowed to bring them on the plane. Otherwise I can't think of anything else we need to do first, but maybe [b]Vance[/b] has some ideas.

[Mi-Go Agent]

Spoiler:

OOC, We might try to stop at "Confessions of a Mask" for rumors, but Vance is more interested in the new job. How is airport security? It isn't as if they can expect him to remove his arm.

[kabukiman]

OOC: You must declare all the military equipement and it will be shiped in the cargo (but you cannot take it personaly with you). About the arm: nothing can indeed be done, but you will be investigated first, and if you are considered a danger for some reason (passed condenations) you may be refused the entry on board; since it isn't the case, there isn't any problem (but you will be watched).

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Stopping by "Confessions of a Mask" is a good idea if we have time before the flight. Otherwise, we'll just need to get our tickets, pack, and ship our weapons.

[Mi-Go Agent]

OOC: Sounds good to me. Vance wouldn't really want to use a revolver or a crossbow on a plane. Can he keep his axe? If he cannot, no big deal.

[kabukiman]

OOC: You can spend some time in the bar (something like 4 turns of game).
