Heist Recruiting OOC

[Isis Marlowe]

Just a general heads up-

The heist Isis is recruiting for is a Big Deal. (And no, she won't be going ON the job)- so if you want to be a badass and pull down some pay, drop on by.

Special shout-outs to Slim (name-dropped by the patron), Sal, Valentina, Showtime, and Alrik, all of whom Isis has either spoken to in such a way as to know their bona fides, or has at least heard of.

Twiutch is already in, and could, through the prior wetwork job, bring in Sapphire.

But anyone who wants to do a high-stakes gig, now's your shot!

While the current recruiting thread is mid-morning, in practice, Isis has most of the day set aside for this, and therefore, you can pick a timeslot besides the auction or Early Morning and she'll try to make it work.

I've been kind of out of the game for a bit, I would definitely be interested in this to get back in the groove.

Rescuing a human being who's going to be auctioned off, pay is... well above industry standard based on the pay table in the book, and a chance to flex some non-chatterbox skills!

[Jean Toussaint]

I'm ready to find out my combat build is not at all optimal and get blown away by security!

[Jorsalfar]

Jorsalfar would be happy to commit Claus and Lonnie. No charge.

[Valentina]

How much is well above industry standard?

Valentina is interested.

[Isis Marlowe]

How much is well above industry standard?

Valentina is interested.

Opening offer in the mid-morning thread was 4000.

Or almost enough to buy a grenade launcher!

[Valentina]

That's not bad

She'd hear details.

[Asa Pemewan (Slim)]

Why not?

[Sal]

Why not?

Sal will be there! Should be a ton of fun

[Valentina]

Might need multiple separate threads in different locations if lots of us are involved. One big combat would get messy.

[Jean Toussaint]

Well so far I believe Sal's job isn't to actually fight but to cause a distraction which means so far it'd only be Jean, Alrik, Val, and Saph, and maybe showtime I know he was brought up but haven't seen if he'll actually be involved. So I mean 5 pcs isn't WILD for a combat but if we get more could become an issue

[Isis Marlowe]

Slim got name-dropped for distraction purposes, so Sal MIGHT be fighting, as it happens

[Sal]

He's definitely okay with either!

[Asa Pemewan (Slim)]

I've got fans.
Distractions can be made.

[Isis Marlowe]

All right, so, given how many people are involved (Showtime and Veil aren't in the MM thread but neither is slim) I'm going to suggest you guys use this thread to coordinate and plan a bit more rapidly than IC posting allows for.

Assume Isis gets you the basics of the job and the points of contact for it- To wit-

"A heist. They'll be stealing a high-end, likely large cryotank from a secure vault in the command center. There's one occupant in it, a blonde girl, about 14. If they find they have the time to do it, it may be easier to move her by running the thaw cycle on the tank and taking just the girl. They can bring her here - I'll take care of the rest."

She took another drag. "She's..." She pauses as her expression twists a little despite herself before settling back into stoic professionalism. "... one of the auction items, so expect security on the tank and everything to be very well guarded in general. I can provide two people to help. The courier you've seen around, who can move around very innocuously and can get ahold of transportation as needed, and Mike Schmidt, a netrunner who's been posing as the security guard at the secure room since I hacked him into their system as an employee."

Dueling musicians cause their fans to riot?
Useful publicity for the forthcoming project?

[Sapphire Feng]

I don't know, I'm probably best at shooting at this point. Although my Rockerboy role Rank is 7 for the purposes of any distractions

[Asa Pemewan (Slim)]

That's where I'm at with Rockerboy.
I shoot at 6.
Bus Sal and I can duel...

[Sal]

Sal is maxed out at handgun, rank 10 (+18).

But I'm guessing the rest of his combat skills are pretty basic:

- rank 2 stealth
- rank 6 perception
- rank 2 brawl
- rank 3 athletics
- rank 5 evasion

Hilariously enough he's a basic Rockerboy because like an idiot I didn't realize leveling that up was a thing during character creation
