I'll allow Precise on Insubstantial 2, excluding the ability to make attacks on physical things.

For the Clothing-Morph, note that addition down as a Feature worth 1 PP for bookkeeping sake.

Those two notes aside, you are good.

As for HP, everyone with 0 HP will be set to 1 HP once we start in on the next leg of the story, plus any noted bonus HP that I mention for the character. Such as the option given for Diego.

Cool, I'll update his sheet a bit later. The precise wasn't meant for attacks. It's more for him to be able to maintain his cloud form while having a commlink for instance.

I'm trying to get caught up on all my posts. I'll have it up by sometime this afternoon.

Iona will take the pp and use it to increase her Deception skill. It seems to make the most sense given the last scene. Just a reminder: it's 2 skill points per power point?

After Nulls rather brutal reminder of the delicate relationship with Sokolov, barring something heinous, Iona is probably safe. Besides, after alienating anyone who could be allies at this point the group can't afford to lose more.

There's always the Jaguars though!

Yes, you get 2 Skill ranks for each 1 PP.

There is the Jaguars. Reaper (just Reaper) is actually on somewhat good terms with them at this point. She can set something up though. Peter also has a friend that is part of the Temple of the Holy Martyr. We touched on that in his last interlude.

Right now, a base is the number one priority, but alliances will need to be built based on us burning the ones setup for us. Don't imagine Costas will be helpful anytime soon unless absolutely needed. Even than at a great cost to the PCs.

Supply wise, what gear is given to the Ascendants and what do they have from before? By my reckoning, they have their comm links plus whatever was bought by equipment points or devices. Costas doesn't seem like she would be too accommodating, so what sort of equipment are you talking about her supplying?

You may have any Equipment you previously had, and have not lost (Diego lost some gear when he nearly died in the Under City). Costa will allow you to some reasonable about of Equipment. Things that you could carry on yourself or in a pack. Not a "build your own HQ starter set". What are you looking for?

Camus is a bit under the weather and may be posting at a slower rate. We will be moving his scene with Costa to the Extended Interludes thread, we both want to do something with Hitori's personal story. As alluded to earlier, Hitori won't be joining rest of the group right away. Diego and Peter both know he's under Costa's command now but he is "attached" to their group still. A bit like Corporal Sander and Reaper before she became reassigned.

Should I put up an IC post with Iona already there and waiting for the two Ascendants to arrive? If so, then I'm assuming that my escort is not very talkative and willing to engage in conversation.

You may montage Iona's trip if you like, but do place her near or at the meeting site in your post. She may be waiting for the others already if you like. Your escort is as social with Iona as an angsty, brooding, angry-at-everyone-and everything teenager would be with someone they do not know. That is to say, she is not a good source of pleasant conversation.

I was thinking along the lines of a basic field camp security measures such as trip wire and other survivalist type stuff that could be used to secure the base in a rudimentary fashion until Peter and Iona do their thing. Not sure what that would be myself, but I imagine being in the military Diego might have some ideas.

In addition, maybe a tablet(even an old one) with maps on it and a couple burner phones.

Also, might be getting ahead here, would we need to spend EP for the base or borrow against future pp for it?

You can get some basic things like you talked about. It won't be quality base security. I'll have the person setting it up make some rolls every so often to maintain, and this will measure the quality of your temporary security measures. Again, this is something that will have to be regularly maintained, requiring time and effort.

Burners are alright. Say five each, for Peter and Diego. A tablet with local maps is alright, the intel won't be high enough quality to provide any bonuses or information on Stronghold's patrols/movements.

The way this HQ building will go is: first, find a location. The location you pick will have inherent qualities that will be the foundation, which I'll setup for you mechanically. Then you'll each be allowed to pick 1 Feature or improvement you would like your character to contribute towards the base. Anything beyond this and you will need to use EP on, or spend Favor. Note that EP is not going to allow you to have super-science Features, or high ranks in things like Toughness or Security System. Which would enter the area of super-science. You'll need to use Favor or Dominion for that.

Once you have the base established, I am also going to offer you a couple one time only options that you may spend Favor to gain.

The security idea is largely a short term thing, hopefully. How much security could an android, not quite corporeal Ascendent, and super genius/creator Ascendent need anyway without base staff or friends to speak of? Hopefully that will change of course, but that is for after getting established.

Hopefully. With our track record? :roll:
