Montage à Huit

When	Tuesday, January 6, 2060 (Day 19) through Thursday, January 15, 2060 (Day 28)
Where	SCIRE

The team spends over a week, working quietly to rearrange the survivors into smaller cells and instruct them on what features make for a good hideout. They specifically avoid helping them find actual locations, believing it would be better to set up a series of dead drops for future communications.

They reach out to the other groups they've found, and make various deals to get them to work together:

• Gallardo and his six Weapons World co-workers realize that they can't go it alone. They are willing to participate in exchange for food and information. They're happy to share ammo and guns in exchange for moving their stockpile to a more secure location than the Level 3‌ Mall.
• SANKAI Ikito, URUSAI Mimi, and YASUDA Keirin are willing to participate, but having limited hiding spaces in their hydroponics facility believe they're somewhat vulnerable.
• Roughly half of the sixty-something people they rescued from a Banded work detail stuck around — including Emily, Eloise, and Langdon — waiting for their return. The others decided they'd be better off by themselves instead of in a large group.
• They're unable to locate the other team of runners at this time, believing them to be much higher in the arcology.

They divide people into cells, with most of Gallardo's men and the work crew are split up evenly. The Weapons World salesmen are not soldiers, but they're all accomplished marksmen, familiar with their products and capable of teaching their safe use.

• Brady Bunch — Eloise, Langdon, five from the work crew, and one of the Weapons World salesmen form a cell. Eloise is the most skilled fighter among them, even if she can't use firearms. There's soem concern about her stability, but Langdon assures the shadowrunners he can keep his mother under control.
• Bullet Town — Gallardo, one of his men, and five of the work crew will maintain the Resistance armory. They plan to establish weapons and ammo caches around the plinth levels to resupply other units without having to expose their own location.

Tongue Ties

 ^[edit]

Mukami's adept abilities allow her to pick up languages in short order, and uses this ability to form the basis of the Resistance communication web.

• Brady Bunch — Eloise speaks English and Spanish.
• Bullet Town — Gallardo speaks English and Japanese.
• Divorced Court — Nobody speaks anything but English.
• Low Garden — They all speak English and Japanese; Mimi also knows German and North American Sign, though the latter is pretty useless for message drops.
• Medical Corps — Saffron only speaks English, but both Kazuki and Saoriko know Japanese, while Saoriko also knows German and French.
• Swim Team — Nura knows English, Japanese, Sperethiel, and Perkins-Athabaskan Sign.

The shadowrunners add Irish Gaelic (Liam) and Lakota (Garbo) to the list, plus knowing a few of the other languages as well. Mukami herself knows Oromo and Zulu.

• Communications Hub — While developing and deploying unique cyphers is a bit beyond the group's capabilities, they have a wide spectrum of languages among them, including quite a few uncommon to the Pacific Northwest. They decide to use as many of these languages as they can, including teaching key words to other resistance cells as a method of security through obscurity.

• Divorced Court — Emily, an Ares Employee, and five work group survivors form a cell. They'll figure out the best way they can contribute after they get settled in and learn more about each other.
• Low Garden — deepColour joins the trio so he can collaborate with Urusai-chan on developing some sort of communications system.
• Medical Corps — Saffron takes Kazuki and Saoriko, along with one of Gallardo's men and five from the work gang. She sets up in one location, but establishes a secondary location to teach first aid techniques and distribute supplies. She's unwilling to risk the children's safety.
• Swim Team — Nura

and non-English and non-Japanese keywords (leveraging Mukami Hyland's language abilities) Train people and organize into cells, come up with some method of code to identify selves and communicate.

While the shadowrunners know they are the most powerful group on a member-by-member basis, they also realize they'll be the most active which in some ways makes them the most likely to expose other groups.

Ursai-chan and deepColour will work on making more of her LED pointer projectors.

Communicate with Shinko and Hotaru, trade information and resources. Looking for info on locations because they can get where others can not.

Set up listening outpost (Matrix), gets Matrix Message/Info passively and can work on its own just recording. Group would check up on time to time.

Not practical; there's entirely too much data zipping around to be collected passively.

Gathering information about what is going on to hand over to breaching parties.

Setting up a place for Saffron to do group training that is not Saffron's Home Base Cell. Find new base, check if floor 10 has power, amount of patrols vs unpowered floor.

Floor 10 still has power, but you discover that Level 11 is full of holding pens like Floor 31.
