Four-Eyes was smoking a smoke when Jakey started talking, if not trying to understand what was being told. a flare come up in the sky..a flare in broad day light? Trouble..
"Hey Jakey, please tell me you DID unterstand what's the problem down at th'mine..."
Whatever answer he'll get back, Four-Eyes will get on his bike, and drive toward the mine, puhing the others to get going too.

Too much interference on my little comms link these mountains are bad - the volcanic interference doesnt help coz it creates magnetic turbulence - thats why we have to keep the booster antenna in good condition - unless someone can clean the interference all Ive got is garbled static..I could clean it up with time and my workbench... an a big mag dampner.. wonder whats happening...
You all make it down the track - heading towards the mining site when it occurrs to you all to stop a few miles out - some people know you are out here, many dont - are you going to just ride in and take whatever comes up on the chin.. or recce ? recce takes time though!
Jakey puts a call through to Ballastor - no answer just a crackly 'you got Ballastor - you know what to do.. beeek cckkck crr..'
Next person to post, please roll a group general perception - thats five dice please!

someone wanted to stop you getting to the antenna, by sawing down trees, so they know you are out here so you keep your eyes open on the way back to the site from this point onwards...
Sure enough up ahead you spot one of those weaving drones, monitoring the track back into the camp - you see it as it weaves away from you - towards the camp, then does a wide swing and begins weaving back upslope towards you, some half a mile off...

(ooc hi there I'm Scawire and wolf said I could join up with the party my character is Micro Magus I'm a mage)
Micro Magus has been busy all day with all the stuff going on at the mine I haven't been able to make it to the 10:00 meeting like I hoped with all the money we have been losing I've had to keep working on analyzing all the hand dug matterial to see if we will even make enough selling the stuff to stay afloat. Searching through sample after sample to check for magical worth, placing worthless mattrial in one pile and magical ore in another, this may not be the funnest job but it does pay the bills for now.

The drone was too far for any shot worth a try. "Hit the wood, stay hidden!" Zipping his camo jacket up, Four-Eyes hid behind some tree, killing his smoke and un-holstering his weapon.

Sure enough the drone buzzes its way quietly overhead, sweeping back up the trail - you realise it will take about 10 hiding-in-the-trees to get back down the trail avoiding the drone sentinell - Once you get to within Line of sight - Jakey fones Ballastor again..
Still no answer! whats he up to?
You would atempt to scan the site - what little you can see is a lack of activity - Jakey informs you that there is only one place that can hold most of the people in one place .. The 'Troll and Lettuice' hostelry bar,eatery and general store.
Most of the other housing is portakabin or big converted containers couple of caravans and the like.. makes the settlement sort of like lego blocks - kinda characterless. You could go in through the main gate - or cut the fence. Either way you are going to announce your presence. Or you could knock and wait politely Jakey shrugs - unsure what to do next...

(OOC: 30K? Damn, deckers gets all the creds, minus the possible lead poisonning..thanks for splittin' it...Renraku is pretty generous hahaha..)
"Forget th'main gate, if whoever controls the mine now controls the flying drones, those concrete blocks drones might be troule..besides, cut the fence or go in the gates: we'll be a good 100 meters in the open.." Four-Eyes seems to be thinking hard about the situation. After a few seconds, he took 2 pieces of gum and started chewing like a cow.
"Hey Jakey, out of Ballator, who's number you got?..and who's the one responsible for drone controls at the mine?" Four-Eyes reached into his pocket "FRAG!..I left my wire-cutters at home..damn..'never thought of crossing path with a fencce in the woods.." "So guys, in politely by the gates, or sneaky by the fence?...and any of you got some wire-cutters?"

Jakey has a pair in his kit - and gets to work a-snipping - - it does not take long to roll back a section. You can snip more and take the bikes... There are two workbots settled down inactive? near a spoil pile of rubble..30 ft off.
The caldera rim is off to your left 100 yard or so. the township off to the front again the same sort of dstance, similarly to the right - the gate. the area in front of you has machinery, rubble heaps and tracks running inbetween them all. Lots of general cover. Looks like ten rounds to cover it at a good scurry - or twenty turn (a minute -maybe two) to walk it - but you would be able to react to anything that happens - it may not all be bad...
General line of sight is 20 ft.. close range for most encounters...
(By the way, the penalty for murder is nasty - you would know not to snapshot just anything that moves..)
This would get you to the cabins.. the same sort of time needed to clear them as well to arrive at the 'Troll and lettuice'
It is strangely quiet .. (always bodes ill..)
Anyone got a plan in mind - apart from, 'walk for it'..?

Micro - the silence is what alerts you - some of the bigger crunchers are quiet for too long - the meeting must be going on, but it has been a while... you deserve a break from this tedious scanning anyway.
Out in the street - quiet.. You approach the 'Troll and Lettuice' - outside are a few mining bots outside of doors and windows, as if waiting or monitoring what is going on. Most strange...
Stepping back behing the corner of the cabin you watch for a short while .. suddenly.. nothing happens
This will bring you to around the same time as the others (currently breaking into the site like a squad of ne-er do-wells..) What would you like to do?
