Shadowrun AP Episode 61: Gumshoe sets a trap.

Sunny managed to get more nuyen for the job, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to pay it all out to the runners she hires. After sorting through the bids to take the job, she decides to bring Nemo along once more to meet with the Ramos brothers. They end up at a biker bar filled with I-Fivers, and Nemo learns just how much he’s been screwing himself out of a lot more nuyen, but will these negotiation lessons stick with him for the next job?

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [You’ve caught me in a good mood today. The next time you see me I won’t be so generous.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 60: Negotiations 101, Part 2

Sunny’s been getting back into the swing of things at her psychiatry practice. She receives a call after her last patient of the day leaves. It’s an old friend and fellow fixer. He’s got a Johnson he doesn’t feel like meeting up with, so he offers the job to Sunny instead. She brings along Nemo for backup, and he learns a little bit about the other side of negotiations. The side where all the money is…

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Listen Helen, I’m not saying you shouldn’t keep some for yourself. I’m just saying that I want to get paid.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 59: Negotiations 101, Part 1

Gears wants to expand his influence over his neighbors in the Redmond Barrens. He’s already gained a small following of people who are protected from other gangers in the area. The turrets he keeps on the roof are armed and ready to shoot anyone trying to cause problems or get too close to the warehouse he calls home. As the leader of what some are calling Gearstown, he decides to get more people on his side through unusual means.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I knew I should have just called in today. This is gonna take forever.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 58: 300 Ham Sandwiches

Xio sends Nemo to see her old fixer Lomax. Nemo hope that he’ll find someone to tell him what they can about the bunraku chip stolen from the Tong.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Looks like this model has upgraded flexibility and, uh, yeah. Pretty much everything you’d think of, it’s better.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 57: Babs 2.0

**June is a busy month for us over here. Instead of breaking for the month we decided to release shorter episodes so you aren't stuck waiting like Nemo and Xio! We'll be picking up our usual run time again in mid July.**

Xio and Nemo experience the boredom of waiting. So much waiting… it’s hard to find things to fill the time.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [So, you’re saying you’re bored and you want something to do?]

Shadowrun AP Episode 56: Waiting

Sunny’s been getting back into the swing of seeing patients at her psychiatry practice. It’s good to be back. Unfortunately, Nancy has some bad news regarding Xio’s upcoming surgery to put a damper on her mood. Meanwhile, Gears has been hard at work figuring out how to either steal a deck or steal the parts to build one. Unfortunately, he can only get so far while Xiomara is out of commission. So he decides to take Tracy for a spin or two around Seattle.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Hey Grandpa. The classic car show is next weekend. Go back to your walker and your prune juice.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 55: A Street Car Named Tracy

Xiomara is searching for a doctor willing to operate and remove the tumor in her head. It’s not going well. The reputable hospitals and neurosurgeons won’t take her unless she has insurance as the corps pay close attention to their doctor’s time and they have to remain legit. The street docs she’s talked to either don’t have the skills or the facilities to accommodate the surgery. There’s one more doctor she hasn’t talked to yet. 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 54: Street Docs Don’t Do Brain Surgery

Time moves on, even if you aren’t conscious enough to notice. Xio last escape attempt didn’t end well. Since then, she’s been kept in a medicated fog to keep her from hurting herself and others. For the first time in weeks she’s awake enough to know she’s still trapped in the psych ward, and immediately makes plans for another escape attempt. This time around, unbeknownst to her, she has some help. As long as she doesn’t ruin things by taking hostages.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I’m back in town. Glad you’re still in town. I have an extraction job I’d like to hire you for. A discreet rescue mission. Meet me at Volunteer Park this Thursday at 4pm. I’ll give you the details then.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 53: Breakout

Alan and Ody- sorry, Nemo, head over to Gears’ warehouse squat in Redmond to get his assistance in identifying the piece of bioware and defusing the bomb attached to it. They find a lot has changed since they last visited, but change is frequent in a lawless place like Redmond anyway. Alan wants to head to the Underground to seek out a talismonger willing to provide information on a particular spell he’s interested in learning. He doesn’t want to go there alone, so Alan and Gears come along to take advantage of the underground market.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Pineapples! Pineapples for sale! Come get your pineapples, on sale today only!]

Shadowrun AP Episode 52: Dangerous Knowledge

As Xio struggles to escape from the psychiatric hospital she’s trapped in, a lot’s been happening in the outside world. The last message Alan received from Odysseus said that he’d found important evidence for Alan’s investigation into illegal bunraku parlors. But now Der Biergarten has burned to the ground and Odysseus isn’t answering his calls. Alan begins his search for his friend, but does Odysseus want to be found?

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [I'm sorry; the number you have reached is not in service, or temporarily disconnected. The number you have reached is not in service at this time. This is a recording.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 51: Finding Nemo

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!]

Shadowrun AP Episode 50: A Moment of Clarity

Xio’s almost settled in to her new apartment. After weeks of jobs followed by weeks of health problems Xio finally has time to dig into the massive amount of data she scored from her hack on Aegis Safeguard Securities a few months back. As she organizes the recordings of Lucky Lucciano’s place her deck malfunctions. When she tries to figure out what went wrong, she discovers that the glitches cause far more problems than she ever thought possible.

 

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Freeze! Stand down and stay where you are! What the hell is she doing? She’s going straight for the gate. Dylan, stop her!]

Shadowrun AP Episode 49: Out of Body Experience

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

Season two kicks off with Odysseus teaming up with Alan Parsons to find out more information on several missing persons. Detective Parsons believes that the man Odysseus helped bring in may not only be the key to finding Yi Kong, but can also expose a bunraku crime ring. The same one that killed his client several months ago. They have to get into Knight Errant’s downtown office and past the guards into the jail in order to get the information they need from Paul Lee. With Alan’s connections, that should be no problem. Just as long as Odysseus keeps his cool surrounded by a swarm of cops.

 

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [Are you kidding me? Who the hell talks for food and an extra phone call? You know, I’m just going to say that we did. I ain’t getting’ paid enough to put this drek request on the chief’s desk.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 47: The Interrogation

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.

Xiomara Shadowrun Narration One: Glitch

Hello again!

 

Long time, no post! I’ve finally had time to continue my audio mixing practice before we start Season two in February. Here is part two of the Odysseus milk run. He’s with his team transferring a shipment of guns from the warehouse they’re stored in to where the trade is going to happen. I recommend relistening to part one so the flow of the narrative is better. Thank you for your patience, you’ll be getting more podcasts from us very soon!

Odysseus Shadowrun Narration, Part Two: The Milk Run

Hello all!

 

With Season One of our actual play podcast wrapped up and Season Two beginning in January, I wanted to take the time in between to get better at audio mixing. For the next several weeks, I'll be posting short narrated episodes as I complete them, so they may not be as regular as our actual play episodes. I want to make sure that they are the best I can make them, and each time improving on the quality of my work. With that said, if any of you audiophiles out there have any feedback and suggestions on how to hone my audio mixing skills (preferrably through Audacity as that's what I'm working with), I'd greatly appreciate it!

Odysseus Shadowrun Narration, Part One: The Milk Run

Xio’s back in Seattle, trying to ‘go back to the source’ and get her head checked. After a nine day wait she’s finally able to get to the cyber doc, but it’s hailing, the rental car’s autopilot won’t risk driving in that weather, and she’s in no shape to get there by herself. So, she calls up a friend to help her and they head south to Ft. Lewis.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [How the hell is she still in the Matrix. Where’s her cyber terminal? Does she have a deck with her? We’ll need a stronger sedative. Kim, go get the horse tranquilizer.]

Shadowrun AP Episode 46: Xio’s Downtime Part Three

Xio continues to seek out answers for the increasingly disturbing glitches where she’s trapped in the Matrix, unable to control and jack out. She’s willing to look for anything that can help, or at least how to keep it from getting worse. Her search leads her to the Horizon hospital on the isle, to the mental asylum ward to meet with a man who failed to control his ability to access the Matrix.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; [“Hello, Miss Norris. If you’d like to follow me to room three, the doctor will be in shortly to take a look at,” the vet assistant looked at her chart, “Cat, is it? Ah, I thought it was a typo.”]
