John Dyne posted:

Looks good, Socks, but the Infused wouldn't be on site anymore. The guy Jack Gates wounded and the monster that killed him are one and the same, and it only came back for the witness that saw it (or at least that's how it seems right now.)

Hmm, that dampens things. I was thinking if the team was on site early enough it could be caught in a back alley or some such fleeing the scene, but I likely didn't read closely enough.

I'll brainstorm but is there anything else you think he could run into that would constitute agency recruitment?

Well, could be something he ran into in the past, rather than this being his first time with an infused. AEGIS has a period of training and indoctrination before making an agent into a sleeper; some agents wait for years after being taken into the folds of the conspiracy before they're activated and made a part of a cell.

"Look, just don't ask questions! You know not to ask questions, it's all classified, whether it makes sense or not. Your triggerman got eaten by a werewolf, you needed a new one, here you go! A brand new goon. He's really good at his job, and he's not actually insane. This one even knows how to read, too, he can look up stuff about monsters or whatever. Just...don't break this one too, I had to pull a bunch of strings for your replacement. You don't want to know who else was available, some of them weren't even housebroken."

Rocko, you've got too many points of drawbacks. The stuff in your package counts towards that. Also, influence is scaled in levels, so you have Influence I, and Pulling Strings counts towards your qualities. You also only get 3 actions in a combo.

Here's what you really got going on:

QUALITIES Cost - 9 (14)
Influence (Paranormal) I 1
Resources (Middle Class) 2
Status I 1
Ambidextrous 3
Fast Reaction Time 2

DRAWBACKS Cost - 13
Psychic Sink II -8

PULLING STRINGS Cost - 5

Wow, I thought the package was separate. Okay, I'm going to do a quick rebuild.

EDIT: And done. The new Pulling Strings should be way more useful than the old ones.

Are we going to be reshuffling resource points or anything? Haha, does AEGIS have some lucrative life insurance policies going?

In my case, there doesn't actually seem to be much Paranormal stuff on which to spend resources.

My sheet also had a snag on it for influence. I mixed up resource levels with resource point worth. I spent 4 points on status and resources combined, but I only bought one level of resources, not enough for influence 2. I'll get that fixed.

You cannot get rid of your Obligation and keep the profession. It's a necessity.

e: Also obviously recruitment is still ongoing; I had intended to pick yesterday but I traveled cross-state to visit my family and my mom's grave. Unfortunately, even after 3 hours of looking, I couldn't find her plot because no one bought a marker for her. :(

Recruitment will be open until NYPD team is finished and we move into downtime; I'll make my picks once they're wrapped up.

SevenSocks, you're in! I'll introduce you after the players get the hell out of dodge and head back to the mansion. You'll be joining them in time for the debrief, which will be, time-line wise, about 3 or 4 days after they get back to the mansion and get stuff sent off to be studied and for research assistance requests, etc.

Your guy will have what they had BEFORE the mission in terms of intel, and you'll know who you're replacing and see his file.

If for whatever reason Socks is no longer interested, Rocko is next in line.

I'll be sure to study Jake Gates' lovingly crafted profile in depth, understand who I'm replacing (Guy with a big gun).

Also, coming in do I get some amount of RP or cash to spend on personal gear, or do I just get a pick of what the team already has?

Downtime will be coming up, which will let you GENERATE RP to spend if you like; otherwise, you basically just get what they have.
