I'm sorry to hear that, and I'm sorry if anyone else feels the same way.  I'm going to get some posting done tonight, I can still work around that if everyone else is still interested in continuing.

As Kat maneuvers the car smoothly into the opposing lane, traffic quickly adjusts and you remain just another car in the street, largely unnoticed by the world around you as your practised hand manages to keep from upsetting anyone, or notifying anyone of your intentions.  The car doesn't seem to be in a rush to get anywhere, and the device remains beeping steadily as you remain casually two cars behind your target.  No matter how you look at it, the heavily tinted windows border on mirrored, make it impossible to see inside, though a sharp eye can tell that the SUV has definitely had some work done, though this is a common sight, considering that car ownership, especially one that is being driven in the Combat Zone, means you have to be ready for anything.  This car is something else though, it has been clearly retrofit with some heavy duty armour, though without getting closer, you can't tell if the tires are bulletproof or not.  Still following the vehicle, it turns onto US 16, the major artery that goes around downtown Night City, harbourside.  The suffocating buildings fall behind your car, visible in your mirrors, but the grey sky darkens, and the sound of raindrops grows louder against the metal of the car.  You continue to follow, unnoticed. 

Giancarlo nodded as the first of the mercs arrived, she was a bit of a show off, a rockerboy sort it seemed.  Those types always grated on him, no respect for hard work and organization, just prideful and a force of personality and a hell of a lot of luck to get them through.  Still, they could come in handy I  the right circumstances, anyone who couldn't resist showing off certainly managed to make for a good distraction while the rest did their work.  He sipped his coffee slowly as she smiled warmly at him, softening some frayed edges regarding his initial judgement.  It was not fair to make general statements he supposed.     "Makoko I presume?"   The corpo had a brief summary of who he was supposed to meet.  This one met his expectations of someone who went by the handle of 'Magic'.  They may have even shared a moment of conversation, but it seemed the rest of his new hires were arriving.  The first was a put together serious looking woman, and the second, a rather disheveled (to say the least) fan of technology it looked like.  Perhaps Pedro's was not the ideal luncheon for them, he had not accounted for such a diverse and colorful set of resumes to be presented before him, and he did so prefer to keep a low profile.  Instead of drawing further attention to the initiation, he invited this newest arrival to sea themselves in the booth next to the, uh, clown as he acquainted himself with the rest.  Another sip of coffee.   "Well it looks like we have some promising new hires, perhaps you can introduce yourselves?  My client does so prefer to make sure he has a good understanding of who he is working with"

Happy new year everyone, again I thank everyone for their patience over the last month, I've just done one quick post for the Locate and retrieve crew, and about to post I  the other mission now.  I just want to do a quick roll call to see who all is still in on the game, just to make sure I have a full attendance sheet lol.

(I appreciate everyone's patience with this thread over the holiday, and I like the character building, keep that up for sure!) [Kat: as both a nomad and someone with land vehicle skill on roads that are more quiet than usual, you're all good, as for humanity/empathy against other players, they'll reveal what they feel through rp moreso than me forcing an interaction through a roll]   The roads are still quiet, but as the search through the Combat Zone continues, you begin to notice the inhabitants crawling from wherever they made their beds the night before, as people begin to fill in the spaces in the sidewalk as Night City begins to wake.  The roads, littered with detritus, vehicle wrecks, and the occasional body provides Kat with enough distraction to make sure he keeps one eye on the road as you make your way through the morning gloom on your search.  Road after road, alleyway after alleyway pass as the device stays cold and silent in the hands of Rosalie...   Until a small green light begins to blink slowly, at first, it's a slow heartbeat as the device comes to life.  Blinking once every three seconds, warning that whatever device it's charged with tracking is on the outermost range of it's receiver.  As the car moves smoothly down the street, the light begins to blink rapidly, increasing over the seconds until it begins to beep alongside the blinking.  A full minute after the device woke up, it reaches a crescendo as the light stays on and the beeping becomes a full tone.  As a white SUV passes to the left of you, going in the opposite direction, the device increases in pitch for a single moment, before the reversing the order of noise and sound.    

You guys are amazing, I love that spirit and I appreciate everyone’s patience with me, I promise I haven;t abandoned anything!  I just think I may have planned poorly planning something so close to Christmas haha, I’ll do a little posting today, get some games ready and get everyone back into it.  I hope everyone is having a happy holiday and keeping healthy with the cold weather

Very sorry about the delay on posting everyone, work has been crazy demanding, I will be getting more posting done soon I promise.                  

Uh yeah, there was some confusion there, Bison will be joining the other mission, not the Locate and Retrieve, you guys can post without it.  It's also my understanding the car hasn't left the parked position its in yet, I was just giving reference to where you guys are.  As for Lady Koi, are you looking to perceive anything in particular?  Also in the future, please don't edit previous posts to add skill rolls, go ahead and make a new post to do it.

@mattilald Roll basic tech   The streets are mostly quiet, the Combat Zone isn't the kind of place to come alive at 7am in the morning.  You expect that was the reason you were called up to meet at such an ungodly hour, the element of surprise always helps.  There are people walking with their heads down, uninterested in the nomad wheels you are all now all riding in, but you understand it's best not to advertise.  As Mercedes tinkers with the device, it turns on with a couple of beeps, it's a simple machine, about the size of a USB stick, with a small green light on it that beeps and glows once when it boots up, then stays silent, not registering any target nearby.  You're currently facing south, down Castille, there are a few other cars on the road, and the ones that are around don't seem to be in much better condition than the one you're in, but you can't comment about the smell.    OOC:  Anyone at any time can choose to roll a skill to do whatever they choose as long as they can give justification as to why that skill would be the one that works, like Local Expert if the character grew up in the Combat Zone or something. 

Go for it, I didn't notice when I read over, so my apologies

Time: 1:19PM Weather: 23*, Smog Alert, Light precipitation   Pedro's was always full of corpos at this time of day, and Giancarlo fit right into the crowd with his sharp pressed white suit, complete with rich red dress shirt underneath, with a matching belt and shoes as well.  His hair was kept short, professional like, and his glowing red Kiroshis scanned the place for familiar agents.  None of his mercs had arrived yet, but this was okay, he was enjoying his coffee.  Pedro's was famous for their coffee, and now he understood why, perhaps he would have to get the Don to see if there was anything he could give Pedro a hand with.  One hand on the handle of the mug, with the other pressed against the warm ceramic, he listened to the bustling noise of the cafe.  The corpo crowd down here were the younger crowd, with more bravado than experience, but that bravado made them talk, and simply by being surrounded by them, he had the opportunity to learn a thing or two from them, maybe something he could use going forward, after all, the Don was always interested in learning new things, he took his education quite seriously.  The cafe itself was quite modern, Pedro must have known his corpo crowd wouldn't have enjoyed the rustic look, or out of date look most cafes offered, so they had gone with white walls, multiple TVs above the bar itself that ran the news constantly, which you could channel your agent to log into, or simply read the subtitles if you weren't lazy.  The furniture was simple, black chairs with black metal tables with white plastic tops, making the whole place feel kind of like a strange chessboard in the opinion of the Don's man, but as long as the corpos found it comforting, he supposed Pedro knew what he was doing.    He had come early, as he always did, enjoying taking in the environment of his workplace.  Being in a rush was not his style, but he was soon to meet the people who had been hired, shortly after most of thse suits went and tucked themselves back into their offices to get back to work with whatever they did.  Coming early had been a boon on this one, by the looks of it, this office was never quiet, they would have some interesting espionage shit to pull off.    @druid91@Gris@TheDragonOfFlame
