I'll probably make another extended piece of writing soon. (Get it started tomorrow at least.) Potentially going to do flashback/dream sequence during her black out moment to more easily transition back to 'home base'. Make side characters I've made and further/better establish their presence. I'm aiming to try to be looking for @13org by the end, maybe then we can have a collab moment of sorts. Unless someone else wants to find me first? ;D

Updated Edit: My long post is getting longer than I anticipated...(I'm totally am working on something and have been when I've had the time/focus to do so. I guarantee that it will be posted by tomorrow.)

Yeah, Jarred was never one to be to keen on the finer points of socializing, and the explosion didnt quite help him out in that regard. But yall have definately convinced him that being here is not really the place to be.....probably.

@Sadko Not bad. It wouldn't hurt to maybe edit the structure a little bit, make sure certain sentences aren't hanging out of place and so it's a little easier on the eyes. Space out the dialogue and make sure it's all correctly tagged with quotation marks.




I finally finished my own post. *They're not all winners.* But I tried to make it compelling in spite of its girth, and the fact the dream sequence half really only pertains to character building and less dull transition from one location to the other.

R.I.P Knocked out guy getting interrogated by a group and likely abandoned by the others at this point.

I also realize no matter how much time I spend editing, I always have something I notice slipping through the cracks after I posted the thing. That's what I get for doing most of my writing in the dead of night...

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

On second thought, before I proceed some input would be appreciated. I would like to go ahead and do a touch more time-lapsing, since it appears we can get Golemeth running (at least so we think IC) - Tracy has a bunch of questions to ask and I have a list of answers Golemeth can spit out, but I would like to make sure I won't be stepping on your toes by going through the whole scene in one shot. Or alternatively if you would like to try something collaborative.

Given our schedules seem to be paired at opposing times and I am more than confident this is your character's scene to shine, I have no qualms with Tracy posing his questions. Assuming nothing prevents Theron from asking a few of his own, should any exist, once the other questioning is done, that is all I might have to add directly digging into the information, @Terminal. I suspect otherwise collaboration might just slow down the moment, so feel free to have at it what you will - I can well adapt around it. I appreciate the notification all the same, however.

A small note for future reference and posterity, the mystery scent Theron would be smelling early on once he manages to get it identified by another party would be traces in the parts per million range of Plutonium-239. Normal background levels of Plutonium-239, for reference, would normally be in the parts per trillion range, so that's a significant leap in prevalence.

@Lady Selune
Good to see a new, if familiar face, on the streets of Night City! When it comes to your character, that face seems to be one that you think you've seen somewhere, but can't be sure if you actually ever have. Not exactly something we have in great abundance right now. I'm not 100% sold on the whole antenna teeth thing though. It just feels… off. Is there any other type of option to be considered for the antenna part? Something attachable to existing data ports for example?



On a whole another note, the 0th post for the IC tab should likely be created to detail a bit about the currently active scenes and where characters are as is. Not to mention that the OOC tab one might need a few smaller tidbits added to it to know what has been done for the job until this point. For that, I'd like to request those actively taking part in each little story branch to summarise their endeavours into something that can be placed there. I should be able to handle the Croaks-Nina combo once I've written my post, but Theron-Tracy (@The Harbinger of Ferocity & @Terminal) and Scarlett (@SleepingSilence) I'd like to have from the source to avoid mistakes. And, I'll be frank here, to lessen the amount of work that it would place on my shoulders.

@Hekazu A quick summary for you and also everyone else whom it may concern:

Theron and Tracy both started tracking down a solo with substantial cybernetic augmentation. He had so much chrome and plate, he could just tank 11mm caseless tungsten penetrator rounds. Theron was sent after Golemeth by his corporate sponsors, the Intellitron Corporation, who provided him with most of his bioaugs. At the start of that thread, we did not know why Tracy was after Golemeth.

They were not the only ones after Golemeth. A number of gang bosses had put a price on his head, and he had spent several hours in one of the city's combat zones tearing gangers to shreds with heavy ordinance. Theron and Tracy both spent a few posts dancing around Golemeth, Gangers, and each other until...

A Hardware Spider showed up and no-selled Golemeth by hacking into his hardware and shutting him down on the spot. It then extracted a laser-disc CD from an internal drive in Golemeth's hardware and booked it. The gangers fell on Golemeth's carcass and ripped out most of everything else even remotely useful, leaving Golemeth without any limbs and most of the hardware needed to sustain his cybered-up autonomic functions and rendering him comatose even after the Hardware Spider left.

Theron was in the midst of dragging Golemeth away when Tracy confronted him in the middle of the street and bluffed/persuaded him to drag Golemeth to a private location where they could interrogate him together. The chosen location was a sex parlor that uploads personality templates and schemas into the bodies of human traffic and debtors for paying customers. Tracy, via some kind of unknown contact, persuaded the proprietor to give Theron and Tracy a room and equipment they could use to resuscitate and interrogate Golemeth.

Tracy then proceeded to interrogate Golemeth, revealing several potential leads.

Overall Summary of Pertinent Points:

-Somewhere in the combat zone, a Hardware Spider has a laser-disc CD they pulled out of Golemeth. His whereabouts and its contents are unknown.

-Lieutenant Davidson had one of his primary holdings at the address 5757 Babbage Cell. He was last seen there four days ago. There may or may not be anything left over there.

-Lieutenant Davidson had a meeting sevberal days ago at that address with an individual named Nailtooth. Golemeth was present at the meeting since he was buying equipment from Davidson as well as having an interview with Nailtooth, who was interested in hiring him. Nailtooth gave Davidson a mysterious briefcase and told him to hand it off to a contact, Tracy.

-Theron's contacts at Intellitron failed to identify Tracy via his facial profile, retinal data, or voiceprint. Theron now knows who the case was supposed to be handed off to, but does not know that his erstwhile accomplice is that person.

-Davidson said he wouldn't be able to hand off the briefcase himself and would give it to somebody else to do so. We do not know if he actually did so or who might have been assigned to hand it off.

-The briefcase was supposed to be handed off to Tracy somewhere called Deeptower.

OOC Inference:

-Tracy obviously never got that memo or else would not have had to pursue Golemeth in the first place. Something obviously did not go according to plan.

How Tracy knew about Golemeth, or the meeting at Davidson's place, or Nailtooth, is presently unknown.

Thanks for the information, especially the part about Lt. Davison and the laser disk somewhere in the combat zones with the hardware spider.

@Hekazu

Imo, since we're dealing with a lot of information, we should pin things like those that Terminal just said somewhere.

That was the plan. I'm still thinking I might want to cut that down a little, but they are going to one of the 0th posts that already contain useful information about what is going on. Though I suppose if using hiders, the length will not be that big of an issue until we approach the character limit. But if that starts being an issue in time, it'll be less work to be done then were it to be done now.

@Hekazu Here's basically everything relevant I've set up in my posts, and where the characters are and what they're planning.

What my character is currently doing:

Scarlett currently is seeking Nina (@13org's character) and somehow her boss sent specific information to lead her into a highly secluded/private area where they can have a conversation. (If they decide to receive it, through a PO Box or on their front doorstep, whatever makes the most sense for them.) However it's accessed, it implies her boss has enough information on her (Nina) to be concerning. If the document/letter it doesn't get there, I have an alternative answer.

Other Bits I've Set Up/I'm Apart Of:

- There was a piece of paper that had some kind of crucial hint or piece of information about Davison that was destroyed before she could share it to anyone. I might have it retain to his previous address that @Terminal described.

- The church in Night City (which is correctly represented) has a huge arsenal of weapons on the Third Floor that Scarlett knows exactly where it is hidden, and was shown previously that she doesn't have trouble with electronic/security locks.

- There's a criminal held in captivity somewhere that's secluded and guarded, linked to Scarlett through her boyfriend's murder and also killing another character's lover that was in bar. That potentially knows something very specific about Lieutenant Davison. Both of them want that criminal dead. (Information be damned.)

- I've had two separate attempts on my character's life that appear disconnected. Originally it seemed to just imply that a lot of people were after Davison. But I'm planning on having the sniper character from my introduction, that Scarlett ratted on and got him a cigar in his eye as punishment, is actively using information that he'd gotten previous access to, to hunt me down.

- One of the other characters at the bar (who the others chose to leave behind) has been captured and is currently being interrogated.

- My helmet's recordings will help her boss track down and learn about the people hunting me down. And while I was sneaking around and tracking suspicious parties and recording information. I may, or may not have captured images of either @The Harbinger of Ferocity and/or @Terminal character's before the shoot out. (But that can be decided later in OOC.)

@Lady Selune Hey, nice to see another NCPD character. I've been planning to make a post where my character is partnered up with another detective and they interrogate a poser who took part in the firefight. Would you like me to switch that placeholder detective to your character so we can get you into the action? Feel that would make some sense. Otherwise if you want to keep some flexibility (since this would presume that Samed is the senior partner to yours) we could be investigating this separately and end up meeting at some point.

@SleepingSilence Feel free to have spotted Tracy during the firefight. Just note, if you run his facial profile and retinal data through various databases you'll turn up a big fat dud - which is faintly interesting on its own, since even the lowest resident of Night City probably creates some kind of electronic record/footprint with every spare breath they take. But there it is.
