USH'S MATRIX GAME: SECOND ASSIGNMENT: 'Ghost Hunt'

(Oh were not? 😖 sorry. BLAH! well. I'll keep that post for when we are)

Okies

EDITED!

"I'll be fine, Cloud." *I rub my still slightly bruised abdomen* "We have to focus on what we must do. Doubt will only get us in to more trouble."

(Actually, Celsius is, Dexx. He's making sure the way to the Oracle is clear.)

Celsius IS in the matrix, as specified by Ush in his post...and WE have to decide who goes, it's not up to Ush...

well let's do this thing

Celsius, Mors, Burn, Hep, Rade and San go

everyone ok with that? (just made this from the top of my head)

Sounds okay to me.

Celsius, the buzzer is answered by the Oracle's assistant, as seen in M1. When you explain who you are, she tells you to come on up. You leave Cloud (and possibly Virus if she plays) outside to look out for the others, bringing San with you.

Not for the first time, you wander why the Oracle lives in such austere surroundings. The journey up through the building is dark and gloomy. Still, soon enough, you are at the familar corridor that leads to the door to the Oracle's apartment.

At which point, Celsius and San, you hear footsteps behind you. You are being followed.

BTW, in the Oracle sequence to follow, if people not there want to give 'hints' to the people who are there about what they think should be said, feel free. I would hate for the others to feel totally shut out.

ahem...where am i right now?

you are on the Shez, waiting for us to get to broadcast depth and await confirmation from Celsius that the coast is clear...

"Shh, were being followed, Im gonna find out who it is."
(Im assuning i have my deagle cuz i never go in to the matrix without it)
*i drop into a dark corner and draw my deagel*

Burn, you AREN'T in the Matrix, only Celsius and San. We're on the Shez! *smacks forehead*

dammit
*smacks rex's head too*
sorry 😮

ok, let me say this...there are only three, perhaps four people in the Matrix right now...Celsius, San, Cloud, and perhaps Virus, if shes playing...everyone else is on the Shez, waiting for confirmation...

Indeedy-do.

!

Where's Celsius? He's normally posted in the evening (his morning) by now! Darn it... I'll give it a little bit.

Yup, Percy only in the Matrix right now.

ok you confused me there for a while

He'd better be on soon! Tell you what, as you are all preparing to enter anyway, we can do Loadout now.

Loadout

You are in a pure white room surrounded by vast amounts of weaponry. Welcome to the Loading Programme!

Here you may chose what you are, will be, or have taken into the Matrix whilst on Assignment

When you load up for this misison, you must worry about two things

1. How much you can hide (Bulk)
2. How much you can physically carry (Weight)

Everything you carry with you has a weight and bulk rating. If you go over weight, you start losing skill and speed. If you go over bulk, the fact that you are carrying fourteen tons of arteillery with you may be noticed. If you are under bulk then your weapons will not be spotted except in a detailed search or security scanner (like those at the airport).

The maximum amount of bulk you can carry is 14 points worth. This assumes you are wearing one of those huge trenchcoats. If you are not carrying much, you can chose to wear something slimmer. Trinity, for example, wears an outfit that cannot conceal a damn thing...

Do remember, though, that you only need to worry about bulk IF YOU INTEND TO CONCEAL THE OBJECT!

Here is the amount of Weight you can carry:
Strength 3: 9 points
Strength 4: 11 points
Strength 5: 13 points.

Remember you must take account of these two seperate numbers

Here are the bulk/weight numbers:

General

Shades: 0/0
Watch: 0/0
Wallet: 0/0
Mobile Phone: 0/0
Clip (pistol): 1/.5 (Glock 18- 2/1)
Clip (SMG): 2/1 (Ingrams- 1.5/1)
Clip (assault rifle/shotgun/sniper rifle): 3/2

Advanced Lightning Reload reduces the bulk of clips by .5.

Guns- with magazine loaded

Beretta 85FS .380 Security Pistol: 2/2
Glock 17: 3/2
Glock 18: 5/3
Sig-Saur P229: 4/4
.50 AE Desert Eagle: 5/4
Ingrams Mac 10: 4/3
HK MP5K: 6/5
Dlask Tactical Entry Shotgun: 9/6
HK MP5: 9/6
M16 Assault Rifle: 12/6
HK PSG-1: 12/8

Weaponry

Knife: 2/1
Nunchukas: 3/2
Staff: 12/4
Small staff (walking stick): 8/4
Spear: 15/4
Sword: 10/4
Axe: 9/5
Exotic (sais, hook swords etc.): 4/4
Throwing Knife: 2/1
Throwing Star: 1/.5

Much as I hate to re-write continuity...

Cloud, you are now going to be waiting outside the Oracle's door rather than her building now. In which case, though you won;t be seeing her, you WILL be with Celsius and San in the corridor outside her apartment. So you too hear the footsteps behind you...

(Okies sorry folks)

*I hear footsteps behind us. Stop in my traks. Unholster my gun as quickly as I can annd turn around pointing it at whoever is there.*
