Starting to Regroup {Everyone But Headstone)

[Charybdis Richelle]

{GM}

Everyone in the band receives a message received indicator on their device of choice. When they check it, it reads as follows:

{Headstone}

-Revs is arriving at HQ in a few minutes. I’m still out, gathering prep gear with the funds we’ve got. He’s coming back loaded with intel and I’m sure you’ve pulled together a heap of your own.
Please convene in the meeting room to hash out all findings.

Once I’m back, we’ll hold the final sit-down before it’s go time. I will lead that meeting, but won’t be part of decision making. So there is no need for me to be present now. I will back whatever plan of execution is made, no complaints.

The final meeting will be fast, to the point and above all: All decisions made will be final. After that, all eyes will be focused on execution only. I will make haste to return to HQ.

Headstone-

{GM}

Shortly thereafter, Revs returns to HQ to find the group scattered throughout the building.

{Revs}

Revs heads to the kitchen to make the strongest pot of coffee possible.

[archolewa]

{Baby Blue}

Baby Blue pushes away from the monitor, and after one last careful look over the street map she has up, heads to the meeting room.

[shaidar]

{Revs}

Revs decides to make a pot of normal strength coffee as well, then puts the coffee pots, cups, milk and sugar on a tray and takes it to the meeting room where he puts it down on the table.

He looks at Baby Blue "How's Pandora?"

[archolewa]

{Baby Blue}

Baby Blue pauses. She leans against the wall, and takes a deep breath. Her face goes pale for a moment. She shakes her head. "She's sleeping right now. Seems to be doing ok, but she won't be able to deck for a few months at least. Sorry about snapping at you."

[shaidar]

{Revs}

Revs nods "And I'm sorry I exploded like that...I'm glad Pandora's doing OK. Do you want some coffee?"

[archolewa]

{Baby Blue}

Baby Blue shakes her head. "No. Caffeine does weird things to my head, and makes me hella jittery."

[shaidar]

{Revs}

Revs pours himself a mug of strong coffee and add two sugars before taking a seat.

"I found out some really useful stuff, and almost got squashed picking up the van."

[archolewa]

{Baby Blue}

"I found out some distressing stuff, and repaired relationships with my old street gang. They might be useful if we need some extra muscle or to cast a wide net in the future," says Baby Blue. She drums her fingers on the table a moment. "Think I'd rather have been squashed."

[CoyotesLuck]

{pacman}

Pacman keeps sleeping in a chair in the meeting room until people converge and the noise picks up.

[Tay-Dor]

[BB]

"Ozymandias," says Baby Blue. She heads for the office. "I'm gonna be on the computer, looking up Houston maps and the like. Interrupt if you need something."

[El Cid]

El Cid smiles at BB before she runs off to the office. "Ozzy is a good rigger. You can trust him to take care of us."

Tears

Moves down to the meeting room from the roof. As she walks by "Hey PacMan wake up meeting time" proceeds to the meeting room and pulls out her agent and diels Skye "hey Skye where ya at and what are ya doing? We are all here at HQ meeting . This gig is about to go down and we need yout input and your info. Hurry over." send this as both a voice mail and text (if skye actually answers will say to to skye)

in the meeting room once everyone is there " I would like to have all the info and details from everyone" looks around " no with holding info and details" pauses "without the details on everything I dont know if i could participate in the run. Casue up to now info from you all has been non existent and been leaving some of us hanging and waiting" sit and gets confortable while witing for all the information and turns on her agent for the meeting to record it for notes.

[shaidar]

{Revs}

Revs raises an eyebrow at Tears.

"We've all already agreed to do this run, Tears. Why don't you start first, tell us what you've done and what information you've found out to help with this run? Oh, and turn the recorder off, we don't want a record of anything incriminating."

[kennethboyd69]

Tears

leaves agent on " We may have agreed to do the run and I am all for it, But I also want to come back in one peice. Since no one shared any names, locations, details that could possible help some of the rest of us make other leads. I went and pulled extra hours at my day job to have time off for the run plus its where one of my contacts brings me information." takes a sip of left over juice " The information i have from my contacts is simple: A warning, that what ever is popping in the shadows is big and we should lay low until it blows over. All the major Runners are out doing something and we did not want to cross paths with any of them. So that if we are planning something It should be air tight" stratches while talking " So all my contacts have giving that warning and that the stars are out in extra force all over and should be avoided at all cost. Since ive had no contact from anyone else with nothing to go on or persue this is what i have. So I trust my contacts in their warning and the spirits are restless, so I base my statement on that. If this isnt as air tight as we can make it, It might be best to lay low. any other agreements or not will have to wait until I have heard what everyone else has said and once everyone else is here."

[shaidar]

{Revs}

"You were in the same briefings as the rest of us and had all the same info I had to go to my contacts with. I've been running my hoop ragged the last 24 hours for this run, setting up transport and talking to contacts. I just don't like being ordered around like the hired help, we are all equals here. What you say about the shadows jumping, I've heard that too, and I have some really good intel, but I'm not saying a word until you turn that off."

[archolewa]

{Baby Blue}

"The recorder isn't necessary anyway," says Baby Blue. "I'll remember everything we say here. You can just ask me later if you need a refresher. But we should probably wait for Skye before we start."

[Charybdis Richelle]

{Baby Blue}

"The recorder isn't necessary anyway," says Baby Blue. "I'll remember everything we say here. You can just ask me later if you need a refresher. But we should probably wait for Skye before we start."

{GM}

At this point, that reminds everyone at the meeting that no one has seen Skye all day or even heard from her for that matter.

[archolewa]

{Baby Blue}

Baby Blue frowns. "Where is Skye anyway? Pacman, have you seen her? You know if she's still up in her room?"

[kennethboyd69]

Tears grabs agent as a text comes in and stops the recorder.

Reads the text.

"News about skye is they are no onger part of the team and that we shouldnt go through with this . And according to skye Simpleton Lied." "apparently headstone knew skye wasnt with us anymore and she asked if headstone had not told us. which of course hadnt told me at least "

[shaidar]

{Revs}

Revs sighs "I didn't know about Skye either. She is right that Simpleton certainly underplayed who Ace is. He's a spider in his own right at a similar level to Simpleton, but also an experiences Street Sam. He's got eyes and ears on every street corner."
