{OOC lovely stuff.. Hunter is quiet at the moment - probably tranqued up to kill the pain in his ankle - it is a hairline fracture not a sprain - the quack at the mines is not too good... until he gets his net connection back..
I am in the throes of holidays and will be back on wed - beginning of september...
It could be a good time to try out your various pieces of kit to see if and how they work... things like launching your drones and steering at the same time..
Or using astral to search - it is slow because there is so much cover - out in the open it is very good - you can pick out creatures hiding flat on the ground easily..
sorry about the delay, the downhill run will kick off soon! have a good Bank Holiday weekend!}
Micro - 2 1/2 mins is 50 rounds - you can do (i think) a sort of dog-trot.. zoom for a round... 1000metres - stop and observe call that 3 rounds so you could spy out the next 20 kilometres for obvious stuff - a couple of logger wagons coming up - a few roadside houses - a couple of bridges.. nothing out of the ordinary for a while...
you could shorten these trips to about a minute to scry out the next ten kilometees at a time, and get back to your meat quite easily as the bus will be travelling down the same route..
Looks like you are all gelling nicely!
see you soon....

(OOC You have a good holiday wolf. We will most likely do some taking back and forth bettween characters like we have been)
Micro jumps back into his body to tell everyone what is up ahead of them nothing out of the ordinary. "Oh maybe after our next stop we could check out thunders RV that thing looks sweet. I don't think it is a good idea if we all ride in it. Best if we stay with the cargo we are protecting, but worth a look."

((OOC: Yeah, have some good R&R now..Bank Holiday? So the banks are giving money, or is that to celebrate the foundation of The City?...After looking around, I got it..I knew the banks were involved..kinda reassembles the construction holiday we got at the end of July.))
Four-Eyes turned his head toward Micro as he came back into his meat and explained he didn't saw nothing. Fraggin' mages and their damn tricks....
"Yeah...'looks pretty nice, plus he's got drones..that and I never saw a rigger 'driving' a vehicle before, short of the trid, and I"m talking B-trid, not the satellite stuff...and besides, I don't wanna ride back there, I can't see in front 'cept this bus' rear bumper."

*he sits in his rv and girns figure why not he should have extra fuel in the rv to fuel my drones. He poped out a launch bay and launchs one of his helicopters. Giving it instructions to patrol*

A brif word before my well earned hol on the sunny south white cliffs...
vehicles could use the same aviation fuel.. bit expensive, as most will be fitted up to burn wood alchahol... yes you can drink it but it destroys your renal cortex - blinds you!
you can set a search pattern to suit you, then let it patrol on its own, informing you of any new occurrances in its sweep - think of the drone as having an INT of its internal pilot, a pilot of 2 would give you a patrol dog - thick, and may miss something hidden - but would spot anything obvious. ( Ithink this is right !) thats why drones are expensive - they can do stuff on their own!
seeya!

Hnter leans back in the cushion of the bus seat, enjoying the relaxingness of the morphine that he had "borrowed" from the mines. WEll, just a few days before it feels better. Drek

"Man hunter almost looks like he is astraly projecting." Micro thinks as he goes back too looking out the window astaly preciving. "Man I know these are just trees but everything is so vibrant and alive with astral preception. If I did have to keep looking for things that are going to jump out and tair this bus to pieces I could follow a black birds flight for hours. Or how the trees seem to almost communicate to each other with there auras ." Micro keeps gazing out his side of the bus, occasionally checking out the none important bird just to keep from getting bored.

*he watches the drone patrol for awhile before he calls it back in. Not wanting to waste to much fuel. Slows his rv a little*

Micro looks over at Four Eyes when he takes out his gun "Man He got upset when I took my gun out, well he does know alot more about them then I do... Oh ya he told me if I want to look at my guy take the clip out, Ah he is cleaning it, and by the looks of it he really is enjoying himself. Oh well back to bird watching and seeing if any big scary paranormal monsters want us for lunch." Micro thinks to himself then goes back to looking out the window seeing if there is anything captivating to see.

*he smiles as he is slow enough for the helicopter drone to land. Hitching it in should be easy since the door closes. Then he starts to speed up. Keeping the bus in view*

Greets folks! Start as we mean to go on...
The morning clears up into a fine day - too much blue for the city-boys who are used to a colourful haze over Seattle conurbations, some air trafic heading into and out of Seattle..
VROOOmm another logging truck hurtles past, rocking the bus side to side, testing the suspension..
At a small junction further down the road, their pickup parked back up the track, three manky-looking individuals loll about ...waiting
Any sign?
Yeah, like I sed two ticks ago - NO
Hey
HEY
HEY GUYS.. get fraggin ready - looks like we got paydirt !
The driver keeps the engine turning over, while the two others are joined by the guy with the pair of bins - to release the parking break and roll the stolen auto out into the road...
Micro returns from the astral jaunt - confirming four orcs plus a troll - potential ambush..
WHAT ! heads up fellas !
Lucille Four-Eyes and Micro all notice the auto rolling out of the sideroad onto the main drag.. looks like some kind of wreckers at work..
What do you want to do?
a few options - but by no means all of them.. smash through slow and engage driveby shooting stop and let the auto roll to a standstill...

Now that they have been pointed out (good spotting guys!) you can make out the ambushers as the gap closes.. they are pulling out sidearms, yup they fit the bill as 'Wreckers' - smash and grab ambushers...
By the way I have browsed over the Astral patrol info - essentially you can search an area of 10,000 sq metres - spotting intruders on a 6.. this includes +2 dense forest/offices and +2 for the area covered. Smaller area at no modifier is 2000 sq metres - fine if you are checking out a small building - but inadequate for a general search.
This would let Micro zip through the edge of the forest (10m) for a kilometre downhill then a second search coming back on the other side - takes a short while, a general patrol sort of short while.. 10 rounds? spotting stuff on 6's.. or extend the search to 2 kilometres there and 2 k back to spot stuff on 8s
To conduct a specific local area search .. base TN 2 +2 for forest type cover for 2000 m which is only a 20 m wide strip 100m long - useless! (unless it is a building you are scoping out) so a local scan would be ... base TN2 +2 close cover +2 10,000 sq m
This gives you a 50m radius fronm your position - or do one side of the bus at a time to cover 100m to the left, then a seperate 100 m to the right .. seems better...
Does that make sense?
Out in the open it is easy - cover really does narrow down the search and the area to 6s or 8s rolled on your int to spot anything..
You wre able to pick up the ambush as part of your fly-past ... then zero in on it, a quick check, then back to your meat, and raise the alarm!
you got 300 yards to go - theres an auto pulling out into the road ahead, if it wasnt for the warning, you would be cursing the driver for cutting you up and you would be slowing down..
This gives everyone a few rounds to prepare.. whatever you want to ready, please tell me
I'm going to avoid the auto and keep on ploughing past em...
Declares Lucille....

"Ya Lucille that is a good Idea we don't want to stop if we don't have too" Micro says as he pulls out his gun and aims at one of the orcs for a full round.
(OOC wolf do you want me to roll int or is this info for later? becuase it is always good to know what I can do.)

Four-eyes reloaded his revovler, and got on the radio "Hey Thunder, there's some guys out front trying to ambush us or somethin'..'think one of your drone can cause them trouble?"
He then turned to Hunter "Hey Hunter! Look alive! 'Trouble up ahead, 4 orks and a big ass troll's trying to roadblock us."
He'll glances over at the mercury gallons, before switching to thermal vision trying to spot any of the wannabe ambushers who could be hiding. He'll then sets his aim on one of them for a while (one round) and taking off a shot before pulling himself back inside the bus' protection.
