Yes if your cash is loaded on the card. If you want to have your $$ with you I'm fine to retcon you brought it along.

Great! Ty I think would have asked his handlers to arrange a biometric cash card for that Filentred account. I don’t need to pursue anything with regards to banking.
Ty will keep 50k cr worth of Imp notes in a hollowed out pocket of his surf board accessible from the ankle leash mount when he doesn’t secure it in a safe.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Well that took a sharp bat turn and just got interesting!Dagh's eyes sparkle as he responds,
"Offworld, eh? Dagh status complicated. Freedom of movement yes, freedom to leave Amondiage no. You got plan that ends without Dagh back in Arcone gulag?"
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Yeah, if we're caught picking up a stray aiding the escape of a paroled POW from a high LL world, we (and Capt. Jandala) could end up in Arcone Gulag ourselves! But if he were to "stow away" without us knowing, we'd have plausible deniability.
I've been toying with the thought of how useful Dagh could be as a party NPC. Former soldier now mobility-impaired, has some Streetwise (though much of his knowledge likely applies only to Amondiage), and he can mix cocktails! But really, we should start by trying to figure out what his info is worth.
In the thread, I'd like to wait for Gorethirster to post before I say anything further.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
The other thing to consider is what other team members might think of the escapade. It risks compromising 'the mission' though we have barely bothered begun.
Probably the less people who know the better. Which might be also include other team members.

Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Our PCs jumped to the Escape From New York scenario. Perhaps we should explore what Dagh was willing to trade for info about the Perfect Stranger…if he’s willing to go back to that. A stow away scenario is the extent of involvement Ty would entertain due to the mission risk.i think the onus for a stow away attempt should be on Dagh…with deniable assistance from us.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Sorry, I went dark for a couple of days, RL, you know. Anyway, I'm not enthused about a stowaway plot. I'm thinking that Jako doesn't see the benefit coming anywhere near the risk involved.

Piotr is a straight-laced navy man. He wouldn't be in favor either.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
If I'm being honest, Gabe is not that long out of the marines (he's still growing his ponytail!) and also not very keen about flouting the laws of a dictatorship.
It's his player that's the loose and crazy risk taker

Yeah, there are easier ways of grabbing onto that vibe. Like, "Is that you, Ty? We heard you were dead!"
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Based on this statement from the Custom/Immigration agent:
Escaping from Acadie might be easier?
This might be a case where escaping to Acadie might be a simple matter of volunteering…He quickly glances left and right then leans in to Ty, "Look just mind your manners while you're here on Amondiage. Troublemakers wind up on Acadie working the combines and there is always need for more labor, but you didn't hear that from me."

Sorry about being AWOL - I had a family issue come up but all good now and back home. I'll try to get us spun back up tomorrow.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Are we talking about Dagh? I see your point, but I think if it had come up, the customs agent would've also said that Troublemakers, who happen to be former enemies of the state and are planet-bound as a term of parole, are an exception to the above. No free pass to Acadia for them.Thumper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 9:05 pm Based on this statement from the Custom/Immigration agent:This might be a case where escaping to Acadie might be a simple matter of volunteering…"Look just mind your manners...

I'm thinking the group at TAS should pivot from the 'stowaway' idea and see whether that 50-cred note gets us anywhere.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Well, Jako's got it out there for a reason. He only covered it with his hand pending negotiations.

Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
For myself, from a character and roleplay pov, I can see value in the two trying to smuggle the Vargr aboard but not sharing those details with the other group members 'until a more suitable occasion', so I wouldn't carte blanche rule those actions out. I just posted that Schmidt would reasonably object if advised on the possibility. I am fine as a player if you wanted to advance the stowaway option and we just then took account of any repercussions once found out.
Bringing the Vargr along could work out great and provide some tactical advantage or knowledge or could blow the whole mission or create trouble at the very least. But that decision is for the pair negotiating with him.

Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
I'm fine with it too. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I do think RPGs are more rewarding if there is character-driven friction between the PCs. Key is to communicate OOC to make sure the friction stays with the PCs. Friction usually means taking the characters out of their comfort zones which helps them grow.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Hmm, Ty is walking a crate on a grav sled down to the TAS later in the morning. Sounds like a deniable “stowaway” opportunity to me!
Deniable assistance…

Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
The ship is still at the port on Acadie. The dead crewmembers' bodies shipped from Acadie. Better be prepared for anything on arriving at the ship on our next stop.
Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)
Yeah, I caught that. It was at the star port on Acadie, and for a long time. It may or may not still be there. It's a strong lead, though.
