Do we round halves up or down? E.g. str/2.

Looking fwd to getting back to the table next week - think I.can remember what you guys look like...

Yeeha!

Looking like I could make it. Late but there. See ya!

Thats fine mate. Great to have you back. I will introduce you character next session. I have a plan for how you will enter the game. It should be amusing. Can you post your back story and contacts when you have the chance.

See you next week.

Hi guys how's it going. I'm very sick and I don't think I'll be better in 4 hours so I probably wont be coming today. I hope I'll be well enough to come next week. Sorry.

PS. Irland was ausome

He is to italian for that. More likely to be sipping a latte sitting on a vespa.

I'm picturing Fabio out on a street-corner bellowing "No to A.V.!" all day...

Hi boys,
I am tired and job-swamped.

At risk of not being there tonight.

Updates later....

I can see some Willpower rolls ahead to avoid Smooth D's celebrity addiction...

You would not believe the inside news I have just heard about a certain top serious news reporter and his links to J-Lo clone 7B-Lo! But I suppose you’re going to insist we talk about the job! So I will let Serious D take over …

From connections, I learned that the Somali pirates are the business. Real serious hombres.

My tentative plan from last week was to hire a truck, that we can use to transport the package, while we leave the automated streetvan to trundle along as a diversion. I wonder if we could also get the Law to intervene? IF we can avoid drawing attention to ourselves of course.

It also occurs to me that this Eva guy’s connection to the pirates is very worrying. Someone has been spreading news of this shipment around, almost as if they wanted the package to fall into the wrong hands. Occurs to me Mr Eva is –

- Working for the pirates, aiming to give them whatever’s in the package, or
- Hoping the package will fall into their hands, because it contains something detrimental to their health, or
- Hoping the pirates will be destroyed in a fight over the package

Or all three. Or something else. Either way, we’re the red-shirts here

Was he going to make some kind of Street Sam type character?

We ould use one with some driving skills . . . .

and light machine guns skills!

What kind of character is Ieuan playing?

I have issued you guys access codes to this sharepoint, we can use this as a point to plan out the operation and share information.

This place is secure but try not to be too detailed here, we can always meet up for a detailed planning session.

Chummers, thought I might kick-start proceedings here.

We have a number of leads to follow up before we can run this

1. We need to follow up information about the gang that is interested in this delivery, to assess if they are a true threat and if we need to be alert to any move

2. We need to follow up the connection between the Eva official and the gang to see if there is a clash of interests

3. If the gang is a threat we need to go back to Mr Johnston and discuss the terms of the deal again, we are not equipped to directly confront a fully armed pirate company

4. If Mr Johnston cannot help we need to look at other ways of dealing with the gang, like paying tribute to pass of involving an outside agent to distract the gang.

OK some paths we can take

- Anyone with corpknow can follow up and get more info from that side?
- We have some people with specialist info on the London gang siuation, maybe they can share their or their contacts insights
- Anyone have an inside at LoneStar etc?

Just post any other ideas you might have, and we can work through them.

Once again my Search-Fu is not as good as it could have been, pulled together some info though but we need to follow some of it up

A small dossier on the Somali pirates showing an interest in this delivery.

The south of London down to the English South Coast has become more industrialised over the last 50 years

A lot of heavy manufacturing plants have sprung up and there is a growing business in preying off this activity

The gangs M.O. is the piracy job, in intercepting goods while they are travelling and lifting the motherload

Their favourite job is the job on items being moved around the Gatwick airport terminal to other locations by land.

They have been known to also intercept heavy haulage on the Motorways and pull the jobs there as well

They are high on most security firms and LoneStars hit lists, but have not been rounded up yet

7 months ago there was a very public job where they went outside their normal remitt and kidnapped someone connected to a high profile Eva oficial

Chummers,

Here is the GOTO on your voice file Mr Johnston, I really got slot all on them though, but it is best we all have this saved

I picked up a match of the voice file with a public speaking engagement of the Eva executives on a podcast about yearly projections.

Going by the public data provided by EvaCorp the name of our Johnston is Piers Morgan

Piers is a minor shareholder in the EvaCorp pantheon

Piers official title is Director Amalgamation Services - Europe [Drek me but I have no clue of what that is, someone with some corpknow can better weigh in here]

I have found connections through Speyside Breweries, who are a subsidery of Grammar & Grock who are owned by Eva Agriculture (I think this is a note on how the load was booked)

Unfortunately that is all I have been able to rustle up, hopefully we can use it though to get back in touch and rediscuss the run in light of the security concerns we turned up
