Xio asks Sunny to take her to Dr. Feel Good as a last resort. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [We’re having guests, doctor! Put Mr. Mathers back in the filing cabinet. I’ll spray down the floor.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 52: Dangerous Knowledge

I enjoy the Shadowrun group so far. Not quite sure why. Maybe it’s the whole group or maybe it just the mic muting Max has everyone doing (wouldn’t think I’d like that)
I enjoy the couples and their chemistry. Max sounds like a good GM and is fun. I’m still in the first year so I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone improves on their game. And dare I say I’m not fretting other content other than Shadowrun. Even if GM/player roles change. Keep up the fun times everyone.

Not sure why, but...

1 word AWESOME!!!! Thanks for entertaining me and bring up old but good memories, when I played shadow run back in 90’s 👍👍

My review

Original Box Set

Nick is showing off his guns when they find someone playing games with his head, leaving out his late wife’s red lipstick. While he’s trying to figure out who’s been rifling through her stuff, Odysseus has to decide whether or not to come clean over his deal with Mrs. Van Zant, the mother-in-law who wants him to take Nick out for good. Alan helps the investigation by using his magical talents to look for astral signatures while Gears keeps an eye on everyone, and Xio tries to figure out where the security camera recordings are stored.   &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [You don’t just hug someone who admitted they were supposed to kill you, Nick. That’s not how real life works.]  [Aww yeah, let’s see what Xio is up to... Now let’s fly over to Pollux… I’m pretty sure I can be a fly on the wall and listen in on Sunny and Alan… Just buzzing by, don’t mind me.]  [You can keep the 500, just don’t call me Ody-boy ever again.]

Meanwhile Sunny manages to get a few hours rest before meeting her first patient of the day.   &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Hey guys. This Van Zant slitch is a lot more connected than we thought. If we just get the data for Lucky, it’s gonna get back to her. I think I’ll need to plan a full data steal to cover it up.]  [Holy drekballs! Did you see that thing?! A fraggin’ jet was in our drive thru lane!]  [Just a little more frill on the collar. Make the tutu a little brighter. Damn BooBoo, you are the cutest little pup I’ve dressed up yet. Drek I better get going, can’t keep the doc waiting.]

Sunny negotiates payment with the runners, and Odysseus finds out that Nick Lucciano isn’t just some crying mafia chump after all. He might be worth the effort to keep alive.   &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I told you I’d take care of you guys. Gotta spend money to make money, right? When you find good people you gotta pay ‘em good too. Probably why my pops never had good people. Anyway, let’s go back to my place. No offense, but I don’t want to play with these toy guns anymore.]  [Bollocks. It’s him. Of all the people to run into tonight it had to be him. I’ll just stay in the back of the van. Hopefully he won’t recognize me, or put two and ‘I was hired by your wife to find you and your mistress together’. What a shite day.]

Lucky Nick Lucciano hired Sunny to put a team together and grab Lino. He wants it done with no witnesses and a full day without anyone noticing he’s gone.

She gets in touch with Gears and Odysseus and they agree to meet at a Soybucks to find out about the job and negotiate their payment.   &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [“I think there’s another personality forming. I sit down to watch the tri-vid, and next thing I know I wake up surrounded by barbecue takeout. Ribs, chicken, bones piled up. I’m a vegetarian, I don’t even eat soymeats.

That diet isn’t healthy for you, and if you don’t take your medication you’ll most likely continue to have blackouts. Not eating meat isn’t going to transform you into an elf.” “But I AM an elf. I was supposed to be an elf. I’m trapped in this ork body!” ::I’m going to need a drink after this.::]

Things have taken a turn for the worse for Xiomara. She was caught by Knight Errant when her body ran through a security checkpoint while her mind was trapped in the matrix. The few times she’s come conscious haven’t made things any better, just more bloody and confused. She’s only concerned with escape, to break away from her captors and run to freedom regardless of the consequences to her own body and the safety of those around her. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I knew we shouldn’t have reduced her medication. Someone bring the chair! We need it now!]

She’s only concerned with escape, to break away from her captors and run to freedom regardless of the consequences to her own body and the safety of those around her. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I knew we shouldn’t have reduced her medication. Someone bring the chair! We need it now!]

Shadowrun AP Episode 50: A Moment of Clarity

Armed with the names of some high level Tong, Odysseus seeks more information about them from his friend Chris, a former Blue Lantern. The risk may be too great to go after them immediately, but at least he’ll have a better idea of what he’s getting himself into in order to find out what happened to Yi. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Joey. Come on man, you gotta let this go before you’re in too deep. I’m saying this as your friend, you aren’t going to win in a war with the Tong. Especially on your own.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 48: A Big Mistake

Xiomara Shadowrun Narration One: Glitch Hey chummers! Season two is right around the corner, and as we lead into it I’ve finished one more narration piece for your listening enjoyment! After Xiomara’s initial hospital visit at the end of last season, she found out that the reason for her deteriorating health is a tumor pressing up against her data jack. We catch up to her at the doctor’s once again, this time to have the tumor biopsied. The results will determine what options she has to treat it, but with the glitches getting more frequent and severe, she doesn’t have a long time to wait.

Shadowrun AP Episode 33: It’s a Trap!

Alan and Xio are hard at work tracking down their quarry. After a long day (and night) of legwork, they’ve narrowed down the possibilities to a small number of outliers that don’t match up to the fake IDs they have for Zufar al Tahir. They are in day two of their 48 hour window, but Xio seems to have an idea of who made the IDs. She has his Matrix handle, and if they can find the creator they may be able to convince the person to tell them which ID al Tahir will be using for himself, and which are the decoys. They have a long way to go, and a short time to get there before their window of opportunity closes. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I have no record of your ticket purchase, Mr. Shubert. That’s the strangest thing. Let me see your ticket, please. And do you remember your confirmation number? This is the first time I’ve ever seen an error like this. Not to worry, Mr. Shubert, we’ll honor your ticket. I’ve updated the logs to add you back into the system. Enjoy your trip.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 32: Racing the Clock

While Gears and Odysseus discover the connection between Jessica and Mrs. Van Zant, Sunny is closing in on the person who planned the string of arsons. She knows Zufar al Tahir used the fires to collect the insurance money. She knows that he’s about to skip town if he hasn’t already. Sunny needs to find out where he’s headed, but first she needs to find a way to get into his arcology residence without causing a scene. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [“ Devon. Devon. Eat your macaroni and cheese, Devon.” :: Goat bleating. ::  “Macaroni and cheese is good for you, Devon.” :: More bleating. :: “Eat your macaroni or you don't get any dessert.  Is that what you want to have? Your dessert taken away? Cause I’ll do it, Devon.” :: Bleating intensifies. :: “Fine then. Have it your way. I knew I should have programmed your cybernetic larynx to speak English instead of goat. I have no idea what he’s saying, do you Mother?”]

Gears and Odysseus got the jump on the organ grinders who’ve kidnapped Jessica Lucciano. They have a chance to take out a few Tong as well. But as much pleasure as that brings to Odysseus, he needs to find out why Jessica is so important to them and how he can stop them from finding her again. This means he needs someone alive to interrogate… &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [“Hey Sung, you going to be working late tonight?” “Yea, got one that fell down the rabbit hole and Mr. Tu wants the hardware in his head.
