Say, what are some of those style feats it says on the chart? For instance, what's "political favors"? I should get that later on. What's "Talented"? "Card Shark?"

Just to bring this back on the table. Here's a list of all the feats and their prerequisites.

Adam, what is Artis doing with his phone?

I'm a little confused. Were we both on the phone with the same guy? If so, I'm hanging up. If not, let me know.

My bad, both Artis and Harry got phone calls.

Just to keep things moving, if you give the caller a b-s line (like Harry did), the caller will give you the same answer that Harry got in return.

Right. That's where I got the names. What do they do. What does "Undermine" do?

Harry's "incomprehensible shorthand" is a combination of good writing and bad penmanship. It grew out of notetaking at college. After a while, he had his own style of writing he he could use to convey information quickly, and in such a way only he could understand it.

Well, I guess we should thank our respective goons for keeping us from that facility...

Ok, just to give you a picture of the explosion. Imagine an oil refinery on fire, but replace the oil with much more volitile chemicals.

Bhopal, India...anyone?

I feel bad for them; their whole facility blew up and didn't even take us with it. Damn...

Gatac

Maybe we were intended to prevent the fire from happening. Hmmm?

If the message wakes Gavin up, he'll respond with "Resting at El Lobo's residence after interception by enemy agents."

Ha, a girl named Sylvia Delgado used to go to my school. Not the same spelling, but still a funny coincidence.

I think I'll give a message approximately the same, but a little more wit and/or wiseassery.

Oh, and about the feats, there was a copy of Spycraft at Hastings. I browsed through to find the feats. But now I'm caught between "Mark" and "Undermine" as a style feat. Of course, I'm not sure if I have innuendo and sense motive at both 2. No matter what, I'm taking political favors at level 3. It's very fitting.

Argh, I had the Spycraft rulebook in front of me when I saw that the WWE Tough Enough marathon was on MTV.

Political Favors sounds good. I'll be sure to craft the game so it's usuable when you get to 3rd level.

What's Gavin's current condition? I think that our "session" is close to coming to a close, so I'll burn another action die on healing wounds.

Hmm, before you do that...I should also have mentioned that the climactic "end of episode" music has begun playing in the background. Something on the order of a Jerry Bruckheimer movie.

So that was the pilot? Are we getting renewed for the season? What was our Nielsen share?

Anything else I can burn action dice for?

Ah, you're in the last 30 minutes of the 2-hr pilot episode.

Gavin at this point, is ambulatory. He can walk around pretty good, just don't start trying to do any funky John Woo moves.

I suppose everyone will be wanting to not be the next sniper victim.

Initiative for this combat.

Harry
Artis
Gavin
Jessica

Ok, here's what things look like from overhead.

Harry, Artis, and Jessica are on the terrace about 200ft. from the chopper "C". The door "D" to the house is behind them. It will take at least 1 round for Gavin to get up and make his way to the terrace. The "@"s is the treeline.

Since I'm a selfish bastard, I'll burn the die. No good hoarding them for some hypothetical showdown when you're lying unconscious on the ground...

Gatac

Amen.

Consider it done. The good thing is that because Jessica isn't a tank, she's back up to full VP's (all 7!)

She'll have to spend half an action getting up next round, but at least she's not unconscious.
