As mentioned in Discord chat if you wish you can make requisistion tests once you get onto the hive. While you wait for Maud to sort out your credentials as bounty hunters you'll be staying in the foreigners quarter for about 24hrs before heading to the lower industrial sections of the hive.
While in the foreigners quarter you can have +10 to requisition rolls.
We'll do shopping out of role so please have a look at equipment and make your rolls.

Well, as the dude with the highest Commerce skill, I believe the group has decided (via Discord) that I will be doing some mass rolls here.
The +10 of the foreigners quarters puts me at <59 per roll. If possible, I would request that someone very charismatic assist Felyx on each roll to get the "assist" +10 boost as well.
I suppose now then we just need to know who wants what. Here is my list: - Web Grenade(s): Rare - Choke Grenade(s): Scarce - Stun Grenade(s): Common - Frag Grenade(s): Common
Fun fact, at some point in the future the character I imagine Felyx being is the one who can open his armored jacket and choose from a plethora of grenades which is the best to fuck up someone's day.
COMEPLETE ASIDE: Can we retcon some of Felyx's downtime as using his Armor-Monger talent? Per RAW, he only needs to be able to maintain his armor for an hour each day. I was thinking that on the day before we depart, he could spend an hour on his armor and an additional hour on Servitor's Armor. Of course, the next day if he doesn't have the hour (or two) he loses the bonus.
If that works for you - I will spread the 4 additional points as follows: 2 body, 1 arms, 1 legs. Servitor would just get a static boost. Let me know what your thoughts are on this.

This is fine.
Anyone else for any requisition so Felyx can cover it in one go?

Lokar and Felyx competing now for who can be the most petulant. Lokar with the active-aggressive petulant award and Felyx with the passive-aggressive.
Seriously though, Neriglissar, Murcurie and I have been back channeling and we think it is time that Lokar joins the weirdo-outcast group with Felyx and Damiel. Come on. It'll be fun.
Donna has a pretty good gear list already. She could use a better pistol. Bolt pistol?
Very rare (-30) GM modifier (+10)
I just saw that attempting to get an item can reduce out subtlety rating. Not sure how that exactly factors in this edition, but considering the objectives Im not sure its worth it.

Sorry, I'll be updating this week. Got a cluster fuck of a 10 days with 3 overnights at work (I usually work during sane hours). I have been tinkering with a post

Some points - You meet back up again without issue - You easily find out that the warehouse Slim and co visited is Charnel House 17 of the Fayne family (if you recall the Fayne brothers are the cult leaders) – they store the dead in side before processing. - Do not feel overly pressured to constantly watch Slims group, they will have down time. Perhaps you could think up a way of monitoring them without one of you constantly watching. - You need to find a base of operations. There are plenty of isolated and abandoned areas. The hab blocks over look the chapel.
There are 3 out of 5 tower blocks that overlook the chapel. All the towers are 20 floors. All the towers will have abandoned/empty rooms by your judgement, some more than others.
Tower Block 1 - Faces the back of the chapel. This tower looks least inhabited, it also doesn't appear to currently have power as the lights in windows that you can see are clearly cast by fires. Advantages/Disadvantages - Least likely to be spotted spying on the chapel as most of the comings and goings at the chapel will be at the front. Unusual activity in this tower might be easier to spot due to the light population.
Tower Block 2 - Faces the front of the chapel at a slight angle. This tower appears to have the highest population of the 3 towers. It has power on most of its floors. Advantages/Disadvantages - Best view of the chapel. hiding amongst the masses has its advantages if you can remian discreet amongst the population.
Tower Block 3 - Faces the left handside of the chapel with a slight view of the front. It has some power on the lower floors (first 11), is likely to be moderately populated. Advantages/Disadvantages - middle ground between the other 2 towers.

Just to add...
Which ever you choose because you've passed with so many DoS I'll give you a small positive increase to your Subtlety level
You start out at 50 and I believe due Philomena's influence only lost 3 when you did your requisitions. I'll give you +3 to put you back at 50.
I'm going to add a tracker for Subtlety in the PC sub forum.
One more point on Tower Block 1 - even though you can't see the entrance you will still see people approach and walk away from the chapel. Just not the immediate area around the entrance and the higher up the block you go the better field of view you'd get.

Thanks, Dave. This is really great. Also appreciate that boost to subtlety given the DOS.
I am leaning more towards #2 simply as it already has power. One less thing to rig up, though I am confident that Felyx could get power to Hab 1 eventually. I also do like the higher population to allow us to blend in - perhaps in teams that occupy different floors/rooms for best cover (ourselves) and coverage (of Slim).
Felyx and Servitor could even pose as maintenance. That'll give them both a reason to be there and a reason to tinker around the building potentially.

You have a secure place to sleep, spy on the chapel and plan.
With some salvaging Felyx can get together a camera to cover each external door to the joined flats and a coginator screen up displaying a split feed. Just going to do the whole thing on one roll; Tech Use at -15, the penalty is due to the poor state of the hardware you're dealing with. If you fail you can try again on subsequent days (additional -5 each attempt). You'll do it, just may take a few days.

Tech Use: Int 49 +30 (Servitor Assist, Interface Port, Combi Tool) +10 (Skill) -15 (test) <74; rolled 59/3 DoS https://orokos.com/roll/976047
Additionally, I think we should secure one more room either above or below this one and break the group up into two teams. It'll make it harder for us overall to be spotted.

You have a camera covering each door to your current space and display split screen thing showing the feeds.
You can certainly find one vacant dwelling above, not directly but at least still overlooking the chapel. If you want to do that?
It might also be a thing that if say Damiel is not so active atm that he could primarily be your lookout to alert you to 'goings on', so you can not just be sat watching. You could do bounty hunter stuff, explore or look into places Slim has been.

I think all of that sounds great.
One thing I would like to do is find the power source to this block. See how it is managed. If we can have access to the power to the Chapel or the warehouse that Slim has, that could be extremely beneficial to us later down the road.

I dunno, I would imagine the power for the Gallowsway is generated elsewhere. Big plasma reactors or something in the hive.
Yeah I think you just not finding stuff to use as opposed to collapsing the wall further is probably for the best

Been giving this some more thought. You could survey an area using your auspex which can detect power emissions / sources etc... work out where power cables are to areas or buildings. You might need to get 'close' to an individual building to work that out, it would probably be easier but obviously more impactful cutting power to an area (perhaps).

Once they debrief Felyx, he willd make sure to repair the man's icebox, and whatever else is broken in that apartment, as well as tend to his wounds. This is more to secure loyalty than any feelings of fondness or softness on Felyx's part.
Boss man, let me know if you want those rolls now to save time (assuming these won't be too challenging)

The main thing for this is it will take time to do a survey and might depend on what Slim and you guys do. If you want to dedicate some time to this I'll let you survey one area before dawn rises. Do whatever roll Auspex demands.
However, you need to be careful as we're using subtlety. For example surveying at a reasonable distance from the chapel might still draw some attention. What might you do to negate this? Same for the warehouse that Slim went to as they're a few local enforcers guarding it. It might be 'easier' to survey the warehouse vs subtlety as it only has a few guards as opposed to thr chapel.
@AbstractCloud, you are welcome to apply any handicap to Severine you think appropriate.

Its not beyond your skill, you just don't have the right parts to repair it.
Options; you could take the required part from someone who has a working fridge or go on a scavange which is a survival roll. I can see you're not trained in survival so instead of the -20 you could roll against -10 instead due it being a tech type thing.
