Date: July 1, 2071; 18:30 hours Location: Denver, Janson's Waterhole on Route 36 and Gun Club Road, UCAS Sector
Interior: Smoke and AR filled. 90% of the tables are filled, the noise level is moderately loud making it difficult to hear any one conversation. Most of the occupants are suburbanites with an occasional corporate suit. The hostess will seat the group in "private party" section (Read: Dingy Backroom). On the table in front of each chair is a place card with your name. Under the card is an envelope with a slip of paper with an address in Seattle and another in Hong Kong. There is also several names: Finnagan, Michal; Takagori, Tricia; Cho, Henry; Rasputin, Gergori.

Nix enters the bar wearing athletic shoes, jeans and his woven poncho of a native design, hood covering his head and obscuring his face. He follows the hostess to the back, observing the astral nature of the place, the people and the room.
He walks around the table looking at each name tag, before sitting in front of his own.
(( PAN set to hidden mode, armor vest and Ares Pred, gel rounds loaded, in a concealed hoster under the poncho )).

Sam walks into the bar wearing an Armor Jacket and normal street clothes. He does not try to hide his obvious cybered skull or hands, but it appears that the rest of him might be fully cybered as well. His eyes glow a bright red, and his teeth show as if you are looking at a bare skull. ((see picture to left))
Sam follows a mildly frightened hostess back to the room and sits at the table looking over the info trying to take his mind off the liquor behind the bar.
((all 7 guns fully loaded with explosive ammo, pan in hidden mode))

Hack'ed stops outside the resturant, checking his comm via the AR display to make sure he has the right place. "Ok this is where the meeting is, hope this one actually works out." As he's finishing he smoke he shifts his perception over to the Astral to see whats going on. After shifting his perception back to normal he pulls up the controls for his cybereyes and starts the image recording unit so he has a full copy of tonights meeting. Lastly he checks his Counterspelling Foci and takes a moment to align him self with it, "just in case," Opening the door he steps inside and scans the room, approaching the host desk he sees no one there waiting. With in a few seconds he see's the hostest coming back from the back part of the building. She smiles at the Troll as she arrives at the desk, "Can I help you?" Hack'ed smiles and nods, "I'm here for a meeting, private meeting actually." The hostest nods and turns to lead Hack'ed toward the back, "This way." As she leads him through the smoky room, Hack'ed scans the room trying to make sure to get recordings of everything cause you never know who may be around. Once they get to the back she indicates the door, "A few others are inside waiting already." "Thanks." Hack'ed steps up and slowly opens the door walking in and closing the door behind himself. He nod's to the few peole that have already arrived making sure to get good images of then with his recorder, and then walks around the table till he sees the card with his name. Taking a seat he adjusts his Lined Coat, which opens a little revaling the butt of his Warhawk pistol. He picks up the sheet of paper looking at the names and addresses, making sure his recorder gets them were he can read them easily. He then sits the paper down and waits to see who else is going along for this little trip.
((PAN in Hidden mode, Warhawk is loaded with normal ammo, have 1 speed loader with Gel, 1 with EX Explosive& 2 with normal rounds.))

Looking around to the two new arrivals, Nix continues to keep his cowl pulled low. When the waitress comes in, he gestures for her to come over. He speaks to her so softly that she is forced to lean in to hear him, "Iced tea, unsweatened."
At this point, he has yet to lift up the paper or touch anything in the room sitting quietly as the robot (err.. Cyborg) and the old troll entered the room.
Nix takes a moment to assense the troll [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] ((1 success)) and confirms that another mage has joined the team.[rand=585611823978467718550250387899014113084987263163743489819087755195]

Pulling into town I look at my GPS - glad I made it past those border patrols. Making my way for Jansons Waterhole after making several wrong turns in my van modified to seat a Troll comfortably in the drivers seat. Finding a parking spot, I take a look at the building. I'm not in Seattle anymore...
Brushing off my suit from the drive and checking my gear stowed away I slide on my Predator with 1 Clip half and half with gel/sticknshock and the other predator loaded with 1 clip regular. Sliding them in my armslide making sure they are out of sight I place my survival knife in the glove box and lock up the car, setting the maglock specially designed for it.
I smile as the hostess is grimaces ever so slightly at my appearance and before she speaks: "Got invite for a private party. Where?"
As the hostess quickly escorts me back to the private area, I say: "Danx, don't worry I wasn't going to bite you..." as she half smiles and goes back to her duties I shrug her off. Humans, never change.
As I walk through the door I see that some of the group is gathering already. Well, well - my eyes gotta be playing tricks on me, a fellow troll. He can't be a spellslinger?
Upon Assensing ([dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] - 1 hit) the troll. My suspisions are confirmed. Well if you don't say - hadn't seen a fellow Troll mage in quite some time.
Looking at the others and back at the Troll, Hey chumps. Interestin' group we got here... I take my seat and notice Nix. Aw, great, 'nother daisy eater.
I shake my head and look at the list. i think, Guess I wait - better hurry, I'm gettn hungry.[rand=72352567397869797471524868888337713849722599740321412019217750589]

Nix assenses the new troll as he enters the room ( [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] 2 hits ) noting that he too is a mage and any cyberware. He ignores the troll's blabbering and unprofessional attempt to goad a reaction with a racial slur, instead focusing his calm towards the run ahead. He sips his tea and continues to await the arrival of Mr Johnson quietly.[rand=8617025519724427070738184820129532749086252547976502645101223961]

**All Assensing rolls succeed in telling you that the subject is Awakened (not what Tradition) and that they are healthy** Date: July 1, 2071; 18:50 hours Location: Denver, Janson's Waterhole on Route 36 and Gun Club Road, UCAS Sector A fifth individual enters the room and quickly goes to the table. Looking at the name cards elicits a snarl and short bark of a laugh. The 1.85 m Elf starts talking to the table, "Looks like I wasn't invited. Tough. I ain't leavin'." then sits down and opens the envelope.
After the elf sits the waitress comes back with the Iced Tea for Nix. She then takes any other orders. When she comes back she is accompanied by a older Male Ork. "My name is Jackal. I have asked for help dealing with a rogue Coven of Mages. You are the ones who have responded. Would you please introduce yourself to the group and tell us what you bring to this team."
The Elf immediately barks out, "My name is Blood Fear! I have served 6 years UCAS Infantry, 6 years UCAS Border Guards, 6 years UCAS Courier Corp. So I guess that means I bring some military training to the group. Oh yeah, I've been trained in the Ghost Hand Adept Style of Combat so I handle up close and personal if necessary." Then sits down again.
The Ork looks as if something just assaulted his nose. "Ahem, yes. I'm sorry i didn't have a place set up for you Blood Fear as I was under the impression that your contractual status wasn't yet resolved. I see that it has... It has hasn't it? It won't interfere with this assignment will it?" Blood Fear snorts and states, "They let me cut out with a 85% reduction in benefits. Your assignment is more important."

In response to his inquiry I say with perfect diction and English to the group. You may call me Max. I started on the streets and was recruited into the special forces. I come from Seattle but saw an oppurtunity over here so I took it. I bring mostly my skills from shaping the metaphysical world to my will though I have some weapons skills I received training for in the Special Forces.
Then I stare at Jackal waiting for the others to respond. Assensing Jackal: [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] Assensing Ork: [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][rand=83568435384927052884391467529358277416506526690374851280169983002]

Hack'ed nods at the fellow troll. At least I won't be only one needing extra room. He tries not to laugh at the hooded runner's expense, at least not out loud.
*****
He watches and listens to the others as they tell a little about them selves.
Once the hooded guy finishes Hack'ed speakes up, "You can call me Hack'ed, everyone else does. I have some skills in the arcane arts, focusing on combat spells and banishing spirits, never had much use for them my self, spirits that is. I also have some basic hacking skills from my first delve in to the shadows, but well some IC got me and my team left me to rot."

(( I meant mage in the generic sense, my bad.))
When it is his turn, Nix replies leaving his hood in tact, "I am called Nix. My expertise is in spell casting, though I have also studied the conjuring arts."

"My name is Sam. Most of my skills lean towards killing people, the rest lean towards getting in and out. I started running some time in the early 2040's. After I was arrested most of what happened is now a blur. As you can tell I have extensive cyberware, but enough about me lets hear more about the specifics of the job."

((see occ thread)) Assensing tests: Blood Fear: Awakened, Jackal: Awakened with modifications. From Jackal: "To business.
In front of you is an envelope with names and places. The names are of a Cabal of Mages that I want destroyed. The locations are a couple of equipment caches that I have set up for you to complete the assignment. Inside the Seattle cache will be fake SINs that I will have set up for you as well as all the information that I have collected on the Cabal.
A few details I can tell you now is the Cabal goes by the name Tempus Magica Imperium. They believe that they have found or are close to finding a method to travel through time. If you find any notes or formula that confirms this, I will be willing to pay handsomely for copies. I will pay more if you give me the originals without any copies being made.
As far as payment goes I will pay you on retainer. For the sum of ¥2,000 a week you will work on the Cabal assignment primarily and the occasional side assignment based on any information I or you obtain. Here are one way tickets to Seattle and 2 way open tickets to and from Hong Kong. Here is also ¥1,000 to get you started this week and the rest of this week on Friday, with regular deposits every Friday after." He will hand each of you an envelope containing the tickets and a cashiers cheque for ¥1,000 drawn from an account in Washington D.C. "Any general questions that pertain to what I have spoken about?"

In a soft, but level voice Nix adds to Sam's question, "Also, while most magical theories discount time travel as impossible, the fact that you consider it a possibility with this group definitely raises their threat rating. Should they have the ability to jump back in time even 10 seconds, they would present a near impossible challenge to most challengers. It also heightens the possbility of unique spells for attack and defense that have not previously been encountered. That said, I assume that your opening offer was just that, a starting point for negotiation?"
(( Negotiation: [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] ))[rand=2875513960260378532853537891109597558095024290239639288425816492645]
