Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Quotes from my Shadowrun4 campaign:
 
Cast
Esperanza: Female Orc Sniper
Six: Female Orc Rigger
Buster: A Busta-Move toy drone heavily modified by Six.
 
-------------------
 
Background
The team is surveilling a suspicious character who has surreptitiously repelled into a AA-rated Mega Corp dock facility in Tacoma. When the Johnson gets word of this, she orders a hit on the man they have been surveilling. Six goes in with Buster attached to her back like one of those stuffed animal backpacks, while Esperanza finds a rooftop outside the facility and goes on overwatch.
 
GM: You use your mad ninja skills to sneak to the back side of the two story office building, the door is made of reinforced metals and has a maglock on it.
 
Six: Damn, I don't have any skills or equipment to defeat a maglock.
 
GM: One of the second story windows is slightly open.
 
Six: OK, Buster, get me into this building.
 
GM: Buster jumps off your back and sticks to the wall using the Gecko Grip pads on his hands and feet. After giving you a half-assed solute, he scales the wall like a creepy looking spider monkey, and then slips into the open window.
 
Six: I can see what Buster sees through his sensors, and I relay it to the rest of the party.
 
GM: OK. Its a little disorienting because your not used to seeing things from only a foot and a half off the floor. Buster is in a dark office room. He moves to the door with a waddling gate, climbs the wall and opens the door. He pokes his head sideways out the door and looks down the hall in both directions. Once he's satisfied that the coast is clear, he jumps down to the floor and puts his back to wall in the hallway. He quietly starts to hum his theme music to himself as he sidesteps down the hallway. Once he makes it to the stairway, he climbs up the wall to the hand rail and butt slides down the hand rail to the bottom floor. He spots a guy on the ground floor and freezes so as not to be noticed. The guy goes about his business as though Buster weren't even there. After the coast is clear, he heads to the door you are waiting behind. He looks up to the door handle, faux spits on his palms, rubs his paws together and climbs up the door. You hear a buzz and a click, and the maglock's red light turns green. Buster comes outside and jumps on your back.
 
Six: I give Buster a high five.
 
Esperanza: Six, you're deranged.

So, with a few players missing for various reasons, and a guest-player joining us, we decided to play a champions one-off.
 
Our cast:

Dragon's Hand - Martial Artist/Gadgeteer
Sapphire: The one from the Champions team.

[The scenario starts out with the GM explaining how we're a newly-founded superhero team. Since we're so new, we're a little short on resources.]
 
GM [describing our base]: ... well, no it doesn't have any sleeping quarters or bedrooms. It's just got a couple rooms for meeting in; a small kitchenette with an mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven; your 'monitor room' has a police scanner, a television and an out of date computer...
 
Dr. Specter [OOC]: So, rather than a Hall of Justice, it's really more of a Clubhouse of Justice.
 
GM: Pretty much.
 
***
 
[We hear about a report of an armored car robbery over the police scanner.]
 
Dr. Specter [OOC]: Quick! To the Freedom Jet... Oh, wait.
 
Dragon's Hand [OOC]: Does anyone have a car?
 
***
 
Dragon's Hand: The Dragon's Hand hopes that your gentleman friend at least purchased for you edible goods before physical intimacy.
 
***
 
Blaze: Do we have a line to the police or the government?
 
Dr. Specter: Yeah. It's called 9-1-1.
 
***
 
Golden: You don't have any money.
 
Dragon's Hand: The Dragon's Hand brought the cash from the swear jar.
 
***
 
Dragon's Hand: The Dragon's Hand apologizes for not having an inside voice.
 
***
 
[After investigating the crime scene, Arsenal cobbles together a device for tracking the energy signature of the bad guys' weapons.]
 
Dr. Specter: Yay! We have a plasma detector. Unfortunately, we no longer have a toaster oven or stereo.
 
***
 
[During a discussion of our not yet having named our team.]
 
Blaze: We're not quite the Magnificent Seven.
 
Arsenal: We're sufficient.
 
Blaze: Yes! We're the Sufficient Six.
 
***
 
Dragon's Hand: How many times does the Dragon's Hand have to speak in the third person before you remember his name?!
 
***
 
Dragon's Hand: The Dragon's Hand is rubber... and you're glue!
