1. Do you really intend to drag a cop "into the locker",as in inside the same police building to do the intimidation? do I need to say how convenient a unused space in a busy police station would be?
2. How is this process going to be quite or quick enough that police buddies don't come looking for them? Chloroform KO seems counter intuitive to keeping things speedy.
3. We can't leave the cop alive with broken fingers and such. No amount of getting cop on our side is going to cover up the signs of that violence, and then the investigator turn to what did we get them to do.
1. I'm sorry, but we're not going to be placing them inside a locker, we're going to be using them to access it? Isn't that what was detailed in the mission? And literally almost all actions take place in the police station, but the officer doesn't necessarily have to be in there at the start.
2. That's why using a minimal amount would be key, as said in the description, as to why you'd be waking them up forcefully since there's already technology in real life that does that. The chloroform assures no resistance as you're on the way to the locker (if not already at the locker) which can mean life or death.
3. Why
can't we do that? Broken fingers are quite healable in modern society, and more so in a continet full of technology and nanobots. I don't understand your point about getting a cop to our side--in what instance would that happen? Make no mistake, getting information from the police chief's locker is a literal crime, and the investigator wouldn't be worried about that. Or are you saying killing the officer would be better?
For pole master subject, yes a bit of fun. But as this the future tech setting, and not the traditional ki asian Continent, I tried to poke that looking directly for a master is going to be rare if exists. forgot to get to that we may need to settle for what "martial" dojo we find.
Keep in my mind that
all of these exists, first of all. Second, this city is a large one, and has been detailed to have many different groups around with different ideals. Third, glaive's aren't asian weapons, they're european, and even if they were, a weapon is a weapon. If they use knives and daggers and swords in this place, they definitely use polearms. Gatling45 hasn't spoken out against it, and theres obviously going to be training for any kind of weapon in a place as big as this. It's either going to come down to narrative or rolling, and seeing as what he did with the last update, it's likely we're just going to find an instructor well versed in it.
There were three big ticket items that I think are great but cost2,000+ . "non bleeding" Pistol: Runs on electricity., Gauntlets w/ deployable hard-light shield built-in, and Blade that releases a weak blade of wind when swung:. Had to consider carefully what I wanted and why and pro and con went something like
So after more than half the savings gone and no one wanting to go armor last or this round, I decided to continue to buy some toolset and explosive for next job. It gives us a more options to hand obstacles, if still a bit fragile. Offense is a great form of defense, ( if you aren't flat footed as the Slasher).
I understand and get the need for good weapons fine and well enough, but that's not my point. With time until the next mandatory crime, Gatling has strongly advised us to save for strong armor. I msyelf put in the Gauntlets in my plan (and by the way, all gun use the smae stat so it's not like we've got to learn different things from them) but the other things aren't necessary in our build and it spends money a bit to frivioulsly. The ice pistol is cool and all, but in what situation would we need to freeze someone in a tech continent? Not to mention that a ray or beam of frost would be slower than a bullet, a regular pistol would do admirably well in the fact you just have to hit a person's arm to disable them, and they can't exactly use super strength to break out of a gun wound like they can with ice, or use fire to blast it away. I'm not denying it's usefulness, but it's not something we need right now, and it takes away from the amoutn of money we already have that we need to save to purchase the
strong stuff after the next job.
The same is for the blade of wind thing First of all,
any melee weapon pairs well with the trait and skillset, as it provides bonus to any melee weapon used. Aformentioned blade is what, a third of Fred's money for okay effect? The gauntlet's are a superior investment in strength and are far mor cost-efficient, not to mention that simulated power effects can be achieved in different manners. Heck, buying the capacitor and linking it to the glaive (metal conducts electricity obviously) makes it electric powered and the voltage running through it can easily stop a human heart, so there's a polearm (polearms are in combat almost always superior to shorter range weapons, as shwon by irl combat) with lightnign powers for a fraction of the cost that the shorter, wind powered blade gives, and heroes probably do have things to counter it, but I doubt all of them do when going that far.
We're
saving for armor, because it's going to be a costly option, as Gatling hinted at for us. Not only that, but there are larger purchases to be made later, like for example a car, opening an account, buying large-scale weapons, investing in an incredibly high-tech apparatus (because those basic things over there are
not cream of the crop. I decided to purchase toolsets too, but I go further into detail with them because of how useful they are, even without them being necessarilly electrical. Purchasing what we can carry on our person and use in any number of situatons is essential when looking for items to purchase, which I thought to maximize. And even purchasing all of those, the total cost wouldn't come up to 1000. Offense is a good form of defence, but as we've seen if you don't have actual reliable defence you're likely going to end up hospitalized (as our good buddy Slasher can attest to) and as I said, it was advised by the master of the quest that we save money for good strong armor, and until then, we should purchase what makes sense and not be frivolous in our spending, just purchasing something because we have money.
