After the last mission you head back to New York.

Mr. Mao set up a direct and secure/encrypted communication link via an laptop.

It's called the Hattori Hansa Network (after the katana-maker in Kill Bill)

This means:

You are able to send eachother encrypted text,voice or video messages in real time.
You can alert eachother of upcoming jobs. (etc)

[headquarters]

with my newly earned cash I set about living off the grid -keeping a small surveillance operation going on all my soft targets -family, friends etc -with a little help from Mao if he is interested in doing some charity.I also go about getting him onboard for our next contract.Try to get his help in setting up.

SEE PM #1

I disguise in baseball cap and sunglasses or scarf/upturned collar if chilly and keep away from chokepoints /camera covered areas as much as possible.

I try to develop a new contract for our little group-as well as doing a little pre-recruiting research to assemble a team for the next one.

I also set up -cash only/fake id - a long term lease on a suitable isofac and stock it with essentials .Including medical supplies for..err.. unforseen dangerous situations with the kitchen cutlery.

[headquarters]

here he is -other FtF players in this campaign gotta remember that they do not know these details from the outset - thats just bad RPG.

"Not halal playing"

anybody else want to use for their own game -please do .Its an honour.

[headquarters]

un nerved by the recent events in Oaxaca ,Barnaby makes a desicion to spend most of his money on a really nice RV with room for the whole family a BIG wad of spending cash and force them to go on that road trip they always talked about .The family business will have to rely on hired hands for a few months til they get back .

"Try not to use your card so much -or at all ,just use the cash I gave you " he tels them as he pushes them onboard and gives them a burner number in case of dire emergency .(he makes sure daddys remington 870 12 gage and a pack of double aught is stashed onboard )

Russian mo******ckers!!

Next Barnaby sends an a wire transfer for a few thousand dollars to the immideate family of the poor delivery guy they did.(Using Maos expertice in setting up an anonymus wire transfer ). Only info attached should be something like "Organization Nacional del Trabajando " or some such Mexican Labour Union .

keep on working on fiinding those Russians as well as try to get the Chicago mission up and running .

[General Pain]

you sent a "agent" to europe to keep an eye on the model.

please write up details.

After the Chicago job went semi well , the money is split and I take off and seperate as fast as possible .Travelling via EXTRA VEHICLE NO#2 Ford Blazer If I am not mistaken .

I use part of teh money to buy a little storage gear.Yhis is for all the stuff from the Chicago mission that I stil have .Then I wipe it all down with cleaning solution ,oil and grease it overly much -and bury my gear in plastic wrap and greased up waterproof plastic containers with screw on lids in the woods- well outside Chicago .You never know when all that stuff will come in handy again .(Using gloves the whole time !)

I make sure to hide my tracks to the best of my ability and to mark the spot by carving patterns in the bark of nearby trees indicating the spot via morse code i.e --**-- etc saying 3o meters North or 30 metes South accordingly .GPS location is noted down -in code .

I then go off grid and only surface from time to time to run checks on my situation with the possible targets for the Russians- my family on their road trip and the girl . I make sure to tell my folks the danger they are in and provide them with any amount of cash they want .

Also I check in on the guys and try to get the work to progress on finding the Russians - I want them BAD!

Otherwise - hide

havent checked the links but it looks thorough and good work

price and weight ?

[headquarters]

It is about 40 kgs of gear here ,but I am counting on the other players to give me some from their quotas as I got communications gear and medical equipment for everybody on the list ( I am not risking that on a Somali flea market )

Also I was thinking of wearing one of the covert vests to save 3 kgs there (which would land me at 30 KGs)

PRICE : roughly :

30 000 ( thats 20 000 for the gear and app 10 000 in commissions for the restricted items to be done clean and smooth . )

I pack in a civvie hockey type bag and bring a 45 l rucksack also .

Travel in typical warm weather business suit .

[headquarters]

I enter Egypt using my Joseph Kelly ,Chicago ,Illinois passport.
Immideately after landing I set up shop in a small hotel in the Masr el Adīma district .

I stash my merc gear in a suitcase at a safe tourist deposit service and pay a few months in advance .

I try my utmost to blend in and seem inconspicious.I constantly backtrack ,and try to do cut-outs to shake anyone following me .Comm sec is maintained at all times .

tasks:

1)
Buy illegal firearms. city of 16 mill. inhabitants .I suggest that its not really that hard to get it done .I want to use a teenager kid as a go between.
2)
scout the routes that we will be travellig as well as the hotel were we will meet up .
3)
Purchase used Peugot taxi cab.I want to use a go between as a proxy for this ,so I cannot be directly tied to it . Aquaint myself with these locations and note possible ambush spots etc .Also learn to drive in Cairo traffic .
4)
Try to develop a small time criminal contact -like a teenager and a crooked law enforcement officer to do bigger things .

Is there anything the GM would liek to add ?

You board a plane and arrive in Egypt 1 week before Game Time.
Set up a small budget and a "seven note" (1 for each day) of what you do.

immideatley start transfer of funds to secure bank accounts and deposit cash
to my ongoing projects

the professors daughter
the escape of the Barnaby family and the continued operation of their roofing business
the bribery continues to get information on that Russian sob that has been after me .(devote much time and hundreds of thousands of dollars on this )

I also see to it that I cover my traces /trail .

After that I get into analyzing what it was that we got out of the safes,the tombs etc -use extreme caution !!

[headquarters]

What is up with ze vialz of Nazi goop we have extracte dfrom ze area of ze anomaly ?

And what of ze papers and ze files?

Surely Operation Chutulu from ze old nazi filez has an indication ..no ?

We haf ways of making you talk you know...

needless to say any research needs to be done in an enviroment where nothing gets out unless we want it too -like underground in a desolate research facility with plenty of airlocks and blastdoors and readily available flamethrowers and shotguns.

auf wiedersehen....

[General Pain]

Videofotage from -46 wreck was not hit my a torpedo-technology from that time,not even this time.....

regarding your financialz:

washing the funds white costs money (if u choose) to make the legal.

rather safe: 5%
safe: 10%
untracable: 15+%

minimum washing 1M USD

keep a proper record.

Ze Nazi Schweinhunds haf preserfed Hitlers brains!!!

This is super interesting . I try to get a hold of as much information as possibleon this -teh diaries,books,the file -all the papers in the safes and loot that are safe to start reading .

Since we are in a helicopter and on our way :

Are there others onboard apart from the pilot ?
I have the heli guys in our crew run thourough checks for boobytraps and sabotage .Also stay on top of teh course and everything the pilot does-so he doesnt leave us at a wromg adress - the Aden Gulf or some such .
