1 will have to be acquired using your contact only.  You can find the other easily, just need to see the time element, as you can only look for 1 at a time.

1 will have to be acquired using your contact only.  You can find the other easily, just need to see the time element, as you can only look for 1 at a time.

Got it.  Here's the track to see how long it would take me to track down everything.  We had said we're not doing anything for at least a month, so I'll stop when I've hit 30 days and see what I've gotten.  As an aside, I'm going to add a flat +4 dice to the checks to represent the magical assistance to CHA+NEG checks that I have to make; between sustaining a F8 Increase Cha on myself (or having a spirit do it...), plus all the wonky stuff I can do with Manipulation magic...it's just easier.

As an example: Casting an F8 Incr Cha spell: 15 dice; 8 hits = success.  Drain value is (8/2=4)-2=2.  Roll 12 dice, get 4 hits.  No drain.  Effective CHA is 15.



Day 1) Look for R4 Empathy software (1 copy): Interval 1 day; 8 hits needed.  Rolling 7+3+4 dice.  Get 11 hits (holy fuckballs, I'ma pay for that later).  Receive Empathy Software, R4

Day 2) Buy spare Commlink & OS w/software.   Auto-pass (no Avail score for any part of this)

Day 3) Look for R4 Empathy software.  Avail: 8, 1 day.  Roll 18 dice (due to Empathy software).  6 Hits.

Day 4) Con't.  4 hits, 10 total.  Receive Empathy Software (2nd copy).

Day 5) Look for R4 Empathy software.  Avail: 8, 1 day.  Roll 18 dice. 3 Hits.

Day 6) Con't.  6 hits, 9 total.  Receive Empathy Software (3rd copy).

Day 7-8) Look for Zoe Executive Suite Clothing.  Avail 9, 2 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  4 Hits.

Day 9-10) Con't.  7 Hits, 12 total.  Receive Zoe Executive Suite Clothing

Day 11-12) Look for Zoe Cocktail Dress.  Avail 10, 2 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  10 Hits.  Receive Zoe Cocktail Dress

Day 13-14)  Look for Zoe Evening Dress.  Avail 10, 2 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  11 Hits.  Receive Zoe Evening Dress

*Note on three previous rolls: the cameras have a 0 availability rating, and holsters have a Rating of 2.  I'm rolling those into the main purchases, if that's OK, since they're literally trivial in cost and availability.

Day 15) Look for Fichetti Self-Defender Pistol.  Avail 4R, 1 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  7 Hits.  Recieve Self-defender Pistol

Day 16) Look for ALL listed FMJ ammo.  Avail 2R, 1 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  4 Hits.  Receive FMJ ammo for Self-Defender and M23

Day 17) Look for Ex-Ex ammo for Self-Defender.  Avail 12F, 1 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  3 Hits.

Day 18) Con't.  9 Hits.  Receive Ex-Ex ammo for Self-defender  

Day 19) Look for Gel ammo for M23.  Avail 4R, 1 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  5 Hits.  Receive Gel Ammo for M23

Day 20) Look for Ex-Ex ammo for M23.   Avail 12F, 1 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  13 Hits.  Receive Ex-Ex Ammo for M23

Day 21) Force 7 Lodge Materials.  Avail 14, 1 day interval.  Roll 18 dice.  5 hits.

Day 22) Con't.  4 hits.  9 total.

Day 23) Con't.  6 Hits.  15 total.  Receive Materials for Force 7 Shamanic Lodge.


That's everything but the Colt M23.  I've got, at a minimum, a week left before I hit 30 days.  Additionally, there's going to be a call placed to Tabby around Day 5-7 or so once we've decided on what we're going to do about living space.  If she has any leads on specific properties in that area, or specifics on the areas I delineated in the CAS Sector.  Plus, I'm going to give her the heads-up about the gun I want.  Probably take her out to a nice dinner as well; being friends with your fixer is a survival trait.
