Mr. Johnson, with all due respect, you can't expect us to give unconditional acceptance without knowing anything about the location of the job, the opposition we are likely to encounter, or the pay scale. You are dealing with professionals here; no-one who walks away after a few more details would do anything to compromise your business, and therefore his reputation. Quid pro quo, Mr. Johnson. You want my conformation, you have to give a little more info first.
OOC: Negotiation roll in case appropriate: [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Rule of 6: [dice=6]
And again: [dice=6]
God, I hope I didn't just blow my chance of a job. But agreeing to do it with no info at all could very well be suicide.[rand=934494237592776701317050701386479670022596397928455987328039949013]

" Still have to know the cred amount offered up front . Before I say I'm in . If the amount is acceptable , then I'll be in . " Grassfire says .
" But please no more threats . That has been 3 now and the run hasn't even started . Any more then I'll walk . That however is not a threat . " Grassfire reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bottle of water , takes a short drink then replaces the bottle back in his pockey .

Tank starts to get alittle upset about the last comment. "OK If they weren't giving me a job I would have to find that guy and give him a punch just for good measures. Don't blow this out of preportion the last guy I dropped was not paying for your magic upgrades or the new gadget for your Pill box just let it go." Tanks eye begins to twich as he thinks about the last person he sent into the arms of doc wagon for insulting him.
"Hey you better be nice johnson your short on time and you need a driver bad and I think I'm the one you got." Tank says nowing he has to try and be nice or the job is gone.
Tank waits to see what the answer to the amount of pay he will get as he does his best to calm down.
(OOC I got to be getting mad or my flaws wound be a lie.)

Time left: 13 minutes 00 seconds
There is complete silence as the runners wait for a response. After the brief, but intense, silence, they hear a small chuckle. It then slowly intensifies into a loud laughter. "HAAAAA......HAHAHAHA. Oh, very good. Very good. I was hoping that at least one of you had the brains to argue my ridiculous request. Now I at least know that you probably won't go barging into any place without getting all the details available!"
The animated mouth is replaced by a map of the city, and then it starts to zoom in to downtown Seattle, near the University. "About 3.5 miles West from the University of Washington, there is a hotel called "The Carlton". On the 27th floor, there is a boy around 8-years old being guarded. He can easily be identified by a helmet-like device being worn on his head. I want the boy and the device, unharmed. There should also be a battery-pack that goes with the device near the vicinity, and there will be bonus pay for each one you bring. I don't know exactily how many will be guarding the boy, nor the exact room number where they'll be staying. As for the payment, I'm offering 5,000 upfront and double that upon successful delivery. I'm also willing to offer a car for your transportation needs if you're afraid of getting your own ride all scratched up, but I will deduct some of your payment. Also, there's a small restriction; there is to be NO killing while inside or near the vicinity of the hotel. I will deduct 1000 nuyen for any kills, and THAT is NON-negotiable. Any questions?"

"I've got a couple," Tiny pipes up, and starts ticking off points on his fingers. "One. Can the device be removed and transported separately? Two. Is the boy being held against his will? Three. Are we taking him against his will?, and Four. What is the boys name, and do we have anything more to identify him from than his wearing this helmet?
Tiny rubs his hands together, studying the map.
Security rating on the hotel and surrounding area will be easily available on the public datanets. Scoping the place out properly should be as easy as renting a room for a night. Routes I can leave to the wheel man. Non-lethal ordnance would be plus, but I doubt I can get a hold of any in time. Have to see what the others can lay their hands on. The 27th floor, eh? That could prove to be a little tricky...
"That may be a little more information then you are willing to give out, but each and every answer will effect the planning and execution of the snatch. Based on the information you're provided so far, you can count me in."

"I have questions too, Do you know the number of personal to be with the kid? So we have an idea of how many people we have to subdue to bring you the merchandise. Next this no killing anyone does that include any guards on the kid? Also I can use my vehicle it is moded to the teeth and I doubt your vehicle would have half the stuff mine does." Tank says right after Tiny. "Man we can't kill anyone this will make things alot harder. Oh well I'll mostliky in the vehicle astrally projecting ahead of the group to let them know what they will find around the next corner, but you never know what will be the best plan of action." Tank thinks as he trys to figure a way to drop the people protecting the kid without killing them. "Roads I'll have to figure out a way to get us out of there without crossing too many lonestar along the way." Tank thinks as he starts running his mind around Lonestar routes and the roads in the area of downtown. "This should be a fun drive through down town. At least the University area doesn't have the highest rating of Lonestar presence in downtown A rating beats AAA rating, still this will be a challenge."(OOC here is a link to a map of Seattle it is ok but I'm sure there are better maps www.wizkidsgames.com/shadowrun/shadowland/article.asp?cid=37607 )

((Side Note: Everyone has the misconception that Lone Star is everywhere. They have the same presence that Police in our time have. They've only so many personnel to patrol the entirety of the Metroplex and surrounding areas. What's more important to worry about is the Corporate Security Teams and the smaller Rent-A-Cop securities that protect the various businesses out there. Granted LS is a major police force, but they still have to get the call and respond. Of course having said that, when we/you run into the Star, running really is the better part of valor as in a couple of turns they can have overwhelming force show up and she's a bitch!))

Time left: 11 minutes 30 seconds
One: DO NOT remove the device from the boy! It is on the the boy for a reason! Also, I wouldn't recommend tampering with the device either. Who knows what kind of security measures have been added in?
Two: That does not concern you.
Three: This also does not apply to handling the mission.
Four: The boy's name is unknown and I have no other specifics as to what he may look like. To be honest, we're only 89% sure that he is a boy.
Five: Again, we're not completely sure, but there will be at least 3 - 5 body guards with the boy at all times, along with the regular hotel staff security.
Six: As for killing, I don't care as long as it's not done within 10 block radius of the hotel.
Seven: I don't care what car you use, as long as you get the job done.
Now, I'm going to need a confirmation as to whether you accept or not before I reveal anything more to you. I think I've been more than generous in answering all your questions so far. If you don't like it, then you may leave now. And this time, I'm NOT kidding around.
OOC: same deal here as last time. All your response as to whether you accept or not will count as one 30 second post.
OOC2: does anyone else know where I can find a decently detailed map of the layout of the city? if not, I'll be going by the roads on google maps. I will try to mark and add a link to any specific locations, if possible.

"Ok I'm in." Tanks says remembering his fastest way out and starts to head that way but not too quickly incase the johnson adds something else.
(OOC Will You let me know where the map on google is since I am the driver it may give me some ideas on what to do. Oh The only other map I can think of is in my 2nd edition Seatle book and I don't think that will do any good.)

Yeah, okay, I'm in.
Tiny looks around at his would-be compatriots thoughtfully.
Wonder what the hell makes this kid so valuable. Sounds like he - or she, for that matter - is some kind of research project. I don't like not knowing what the kid wants, but the only way to find out is to stick around. By the sounds of things, the helmet can't come off without injuring the kid anyway...
Oh, well, every runner has to start somewhere. And maybe if I get to talk to the kid, I can figure out which side of this thing we're on...

OOC: Glacier, I'm going to just assume that you answered yes, since you wouldn't be playing if you weren't going to. I'm taking away extra 30 seconds since Grassfire asked a question along with his confirmation. I'm also going to make a slight change to a previous so that the hotel is to the WEST of the University (of Washington, not Seattle University. I didn't realize there were two that were right next to each other). Here's a link to the site. (Copy and paste the entire link) www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=seattle+washington+hotel&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=47.684069,-122.382942&spn=0.005352,0.010042&t=h&om=1 OOC2: The entire baseball field will be replaced by the hotel, between NW 77th St. to NW 75th St. and 20th Ave. NW to 22nd Ave. NW. The main entrance is to the south, right across from 21st Ave. Time left: 10 minutes 30 seconds. Sigh. If I had the picture of the child, wouldn't I have at least given you a better DESCRIPTION of the boy, or even the fact that he WAS a boy? The Johnson sounded sounded slightly more than annoyed by the question. Now, if there aren't any more RIDICULOUS questions, I'll continue. You have approximately 3 days to get the child; 72 hours starting 8 AM tomorrow. Unfortunately, his drop-off won't be available until after that time. You are to take him to the Sea-Tac International Airport at noon that day. A few of my associates will meet you there. They will be holding a sign that says "Miss Parker". Hand over the kid and the device, and then they'll hand over the credsticks. If the kid or the device is damaged in any way, there will be a serious deduction in pay; 3000 cut for damage of either one, double for both. Any questions?OOC3: Glacier, roll four dies please on your next post.
