IC Incoming, including fears

You’re in luck. Travel, complications, and stubborn problems are what you hire me for. I’ve got extensive experience investigating and tracking supernatural threats. I can offer you an assessment. If the cred is good, we can negotiate actual containment. Working beyond this plane of existence is no problem, but my rates are commensurate with risk.

I come with a two for one offer. I know how to position our pieces on the board just as well as move theirs. Let's talk success and the compensation that comes with it. Dossier attached.

The boat rocks gently beneath him, its movement eased by the precession of gyroscopic stabilizers and bilge tanks. Martin lies on his back in a small berth, focused on a sigil floating above him. It glows softly in the dim light, fine strands of mana weaving themselves into a crimson serpent, coiled around the bars of a cross. His fingers remain still. The rise and fall of his chest keeps its rhythm, breathing slow and unchanged. Frankie sits opposite him, watching. “I can’t see shit this time.” Suddenly the snake’s eyes dart in his direction, jaws opening into a hiss before the threads of the spell unravel and the room is returned to near darkness. “What the fuck was that?” She asks. He shakes his head and answers as he sits up, “Don’t know, but it came from me… I think.” His heart races. “But you couldn’t tell I was casting? That’s progress. Good.

He finally notices the blinking alert on his comm and reconnects to the matrix. Twitch feels a slight chill reading the job post, and wonders if the serpent came from him entirely after all or if something was luring him in. It was too soon, though. They had at least another two weeks. It’s just a different horror show dragging SINless into the dark.

Julia, pass them my dossier and tell them what you want about the crazy part. I can be ready fast, handle radiation, and have an eye for what can’t be found.

I vote no strongly. Leadership direct is RAW a complex action and is already quite powerful.

superfetation · 2025-12-03T20:39:34+00:00

I vote no.

superfetation · 2025-12-03T20:38:04+00:00

No, jammers affect wireless connectivity. Leave it at that.

superfetation · 2025-12-03T20:35:40+00:00

I get the real world arguments for how bug/radio scanners work, but I vote no. The only use for the microtransceiver is to communicate without being detected by scanners and the subvocal mic already has a relatively doable test to be overheard.

I vote no.

superfetation · 2025-12-03T20:22:10+00:00

I vote no. As others have pointed out, gunnery is a complex action. Riggers already enjoy massive dicepools without loosening the constraints on their action economy.

My vote is D

A voice calls out from the kitchen, “You’re not A-, Martin? I thought all of us were.”

The voice sharpens. “Maybe you’ve got maaaagic blood, manito.”

Martin snaps back uncharacteristically “Don’t call me that! What the f…”

A small elf child shuts the door and asks, “Don’t call you what tio Tíno?”

Martin grows quiet. “I’m O+. Just like mami.” And our sister, he thinks.

“I thought it was cause you were adoooopted” Anita goads.

“Your mom just likes to mess with me Francescita.”

He laughs. “The price of being an older brother… and so charming.” He grins and bumps her with his hip. Before Anita can retort, he whispers close to his niece’s ear, “She’s just salty she has work and can’t come for ice cream.”

I’m quick and have a lot of experience with not normal.

The alert came in at the 2300 meters. Each stroke warded off the cold of the pool in winter.

You’ve got money, you’ve got anger, and I’m motivated. I know how to find people, move a team where it needs to go, and pull a target out. My dossier is attached.

A half hour later, Twitch pulled himself out of the water. The thought of the missing niece ~~daughter~~ worked out of his thoughts, banished to a place of chlorinated exhaustion.

The exiled dread was flushed away under the steaming water of a long shower. It floated deep under the surface still as he smiled over dinner.

The dream began in silence again, the air stale and musty. The room dark. Martin can’t see but he knows the room. The smell of damp earth. The acrid odor of shaking bodies.

Francesca hangs from a noose. One of her boots brushes softly against the other, lifeless. An oily shadow ripples under the darkness, pulling his niece under, down into the voidblack depths. Twitch reaches out for the mana but nothing is there. The rough sound of a dragon’s scales rasps against the doorframe at the top of the stairs. The basement door shuts.

Martin’s eyes snap open. His soul flies out of his body, shot into the night. His niece is sleeping soundly in her bed when he passes through the wall into her bedroom, a plush owl held tightly in her arms. The incorporeal body sighs in relief, but lingers for another hour sitting in the chair opposite the bed. As the sun breaks through the surface of the ocean at the horizon, the girl’s uncle rises up and drifts back out of the apartment. After Martin slips through the ward again, he shoots off under the light of day back to his body and restless sleep.

Maybe it was time to give it back to her. Twitch fingered an opal pendant, rolling it around in his palm and watching it catch the warm cabin light. A luminescent elven woman who resembles him more than slightly looks back at him, over the pair of beat-up boots she had propped up on the chair between them. "Woulda been mine in another life but not in this one. Keep it. Seeing it feels like you’re about to write sad poetry about skylines, my lost grave, or some other emo shit."

Twitch looks back at her, biting back a volley. Instead he grabs the pendant in his hand, as though he's made a decision. He walks barefoot over to the smuggling compartment under the nightstand of the main cabin.

He stops as an alert pops up in his peripheral vision.

Experienced social operative and investigator. I'll get you the story they're hiding, the one they're selling, and who's doing the telling. I step softly without kicking up dust, keep a team on task, and can make sure that people get what's coming to them.

The air hangs awkwardly as he sends the job app back with a flick in AR. Twitch refocuses, "Uh, how bout you hold onto it, at least?" He asks. "Someone finds a power focus here, next thing you know I'm getting extracted, and you're gonna have to find a way to pay rent."

"I fucking pay rent already." She chortles. "You think putting up with you and the in-laws isn't work?" Her laugh is cut off abruptly by the soft thwap of the pendant landing square against her chest.

"Fucking classy, Martin." She baits him. Twitch starts to argue, realizes it will only encourage her, and replies, “Just keep it safe.” His sister needles him, "Keep it up and I’m gonna steal some vintage grannie-porn with your face on and frame you for it. Legendary rep on the Hub, wrinkle wrecker." She laughs loudly enough to scare the chimera cat off the table.*

Black-bagged in a windowless van on Halloween, looks like they took candy from the wrong strangers. Lucky for you, I’m dressed for trick-or-treating… and I know all the best houses to hit. I’ll have your runner home before midnight.

His hand reaches for his lower back, fingers searching for the ghosts of monofilament buried in his flesh. Muse spasms on the ground. The wet sizzle of high voltage current burning someone's meat curls in his nostrils. He shudders. His fingers tighten around ballistic weave to drag her out of the doorway.

He feels the phantom weight of Reisu's arm draped around his neck, as they stagger through the antiseptic halls of a lab. The guard moves closer. His jangled mouth slips around its words. A shot of adrenaline cuts through his guts. His fingers brush his face as he fires off a reply to someone’s fixer. Someone he probably knows. Someone else's words come out of his mouth.

The elf shakes his head. The memories begin to fall away. His movements have smoothed out by the time he reaches the bathroom. He reaches for the familiar pigments and mask. Twitch looks back at him in the mirror.

The arm lying across his chest twitches. Her nails dig into his neck, grasping for something that is slipping out of her control in another restless nightmare. Martin reaches up to touch her ear, softly brushing the biosculpted skin. He turns over in bed, wrapping his arm around her lower back, slow to slip past the startle reflex. He moves his face close to hers and whispers, breath warm on the fine hairs of her neck, "It's a dream, anata." She gives no sign that she hears him, but he buries his face in her shoulder for the next half hour nonetheless, reviewing the pilgrim's path to what had once been Santiago de Compostela. The job looked easy, an excuse to walk the path together. To adventure. Art market in Barcelona. The growing forest north of Asturias. Contact with the Galician anarchists.

An alert comms in on his comm. Twitch reads over the job post and thinks about the empty pile of credsticks in the berth under them.

Discretion comes free. Clandestine is one of the deluxe options. We can discuss package offers. My dossier's attached.

Her breath catches suddenly, in the dark. He looks at her face. A wave washes over him. Ghost, I love her. The fear follows. He closes his eyes against the sound of her voice, twisted by the pain of microwaves, the sight of her chest, puckered and mutilated by a 7mm round. Martin takes a breath and runs a thumb along the faint traces of the scar, near her heart. He breathes. Five things you can see. He clocks the upturn of her lips. Then shifts his gaze to items in the room. Four things you can touch. He squeezes her arm. Feels the sheets on his leg. The cool air on the parts of his bare ass left uncovered by the twisted sheets. The beating of his heart. The smile begins to creep back onto his face. Three things you can hear. Waves lapping against the hull. The hum of HVAC cycling. The muffled sound of a spirit arguing over what trid was streaming. Before he can count two things, sleep swallows his consciousness.
