Northern Gun Store (108)

[Augur]

An official retailer of the Ishpeming manufacturer, this store sells all of the weapons, armor, vehicles and equipment made by Northern Gun. Prices are identical to the market cost, and only those who buy in bulk (a hundred or more units, or with a total in excess of 20 million credits) receive any kind of discount and even then it's only 5-10%. NG is stenciled in 15' high letters on the garage doors right of the pedestrian entrance and showroom. Behind the showroom glass you see the innumerable weapons, gear, and vehicles that have made Northern Gun the largest weapons manufacturer in North America. Around the showroom, large ceiling mounted view screens show NG products in action.

Analoy walks in through the pedestrian entrance smiling and starts to look around the room. Best not show off here. Even if the flight power is pretty fun to use and lasts a good long while. She stands and watches the monitors for a while. Sure I've seen plenty of armors before but since I couldn't wear it I never really paid attention to what was what. She reads the specs as the different armors cycle across the screen. Then one with a big bushy head of 'hair' pops up on the display and her eyes widen.

Spotting a sales counter, she strolls over and waits in line to be greeted. When the clerk acknowledges her she says, "Hello, yes, I'd like to order the Buffalo Riding EBA and an assortment of grenades." She stands there smiling like she just asked for a piece of candy.

Megan walks in with Analoy to the NG Store Sales Room and begins window shopping looking through their catalog of power armors. Not that Megan really needs or can afford another one at the moment, but she always found it fun to look at what was available. Other than e-clips, which she can get just about anywhere in the Arms Bazaar, there wasn't anything she needed from NG in particular, maybe one of their power backpacks, but then the catalog comes across the NG Gladius Exo-Skeleton. While certainly not ideal, especially given that it was powered by e-clips, it certainly would make for a nice back up power armor in the event of her Wild Weasel was critically damaged or destroyed given the Gladius' price.

After Analoy is done speaking with the Sales rep, Megan catches their attention. "I'd like to inquire about getting an NG Gladius, a dozen e-clips, and maybe a power pack?"

Susan climbs out of the back of Analoy's vehicle at the last moment. Glorious and crazy!

She follows the others into the Northern Gun store and wanders around for a while, double-checking that her pre-meditated purchases are still adequate.

When she can draw the attention of a clerk, she says, "I appreciate your assistance, I am in need of the following items," and hands him/her a written list covering:

[Underguard]

The three GIRLS arrive together, with Analoy tagging the first available clerk.

Spotting a sales counter, she strolls over and waits in line to be greeted. When the clerk acknowledges her she says, "Hello, yes, I'd like to order the Buffalo Riding EBA and an assortment of grenades." She stands there smiling like she just asked for a piece of candy.

After listing her request, the clerk nods with a practiced efficiency and pulls out a small handheld. "We've got the Buffalo. Plenty of Frags, HE, Plasma and smoke. We've got the Flares, also." Running the numbers, he adds "The grenades and flares will run you 3,135. The Buffalo Armor will be 32k ontop of that. Looking at a total of 35,135." He says.

"I'd like to inquire about getting an NG Gladius, a dozen e-clips, and maybe a power pack?"

Megan is flagged down by an associate while Analoy is conducting her business. "Ah, the Gladius. We've got one in stock right now. It'll run you 150k. That many eclips, looking at an additional 60k, and that's keeping their cost on the low end considering a bulk buy." He pauses and looks through his own handheld. "The power pack will cos, well, what do you need it for? We have Class One, Two and Three; for handheld type, long-arm type and heavy weapons type. " He asks.

When she can draw the attention of a clerk, she says, "I appreciate your assistance, I am in need of the following items,"

Susan finds herself waiting a couple moments as NG is hopping this day. After a couple minutes while both Megan and Analoy are in the middle of their transactions, Susan is approached by a associate. "Ah, most versatile. We appreciate you keeping with us over our alien counterparts. 363,060 for the lot. I even tossed you a small discount." He adds quietly.

[Susan Lee]

ROLLS HELD

Susan nods to the clerk and smiles. "Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm sure I will be back to make further purchases in the future. Please have the drones left inactive and delivered to the GIRLS headquarters. I will take the rest with me."

She then goes with Megan and Analoy to Naruni Enterprises.

"The power pack will cos, well, what do you need it for? We have Class One, Two and Three; for handheld type, long-arm type and heavy weapons type. " He asks.

"I'm guessing that Class Two is for long-arm types? If that is the case, then that is the one I would like to purchase. And would it be possible to have all of these items, except for two of the e-clips, delivered to the G.I.R.L.S. HQ please?" Megan replies.

Analoy smiles like a kid in a candy store when the clerk says they have everything she's asking for, "Perfect. I'll take the lot then." She has him scan her Non-secure Universal Card. "Would you please have it all delivered to the GIRLS building at the airport" Perfect. Can't spend it all though. Gotta start saving for the orphanage.

Analoy thanks the clerk and then links up with Susan and Megan as they head over to the Naruni store.

The associate nods, not looking up from his handheld. "Right -- the Type Two is for rifles and medium weapons. It's 12 pounds and costs 70,000, but it has the same capacity and lifespan as the Type One. So that's one Gladius, one dozen e-clips, and one Class Two power pack. That brings your total purchase to 280,000. Anything else today?" Assuming Megan answers in the negative he swipes her card and hands it back. "And all this delivered to the G.I.R.L.S. hangar except for two e-clips. Can do. Will you be taking the other two with you today?"

If Megan confirms, he'll pull two clips and hand then over in a bag. "Thank you for shopping with Northern Gun today. Come back soon!"

Drone Control and Command Gauntlet (2)
The robot can also be sent wireless commands via a control pad or Drone Control and Command Gauntlet (DCCG) worn by the owner of the drone. The DCCG is an additional purchase (costs 5,200 credits) and is, in effect, a command suite with one large, two medium and two small screens to monitor as many as five drones at a time, keypad for sending numerical and typed commands, a radio to transmit voice commands, and other elements related to controlling and monitoring drones. Everything the cameras of the drones see, the wearer of the DCCG can see, via live feed. Moreover, the control gauntlet can be used to record, edit and transmit video and frame images, making the gauntlet a mini-video editing system. (The TV/Video skill is necessary to do elaborate editing, splicing and filmmaking.) Video, audio and other data collected by a drone is transmitted from each drone to the gauntlet, which can, in turn, transmit the information to a portable computer, a vehicle, giant robot or any receiver capable of receiving such signals (5 mile/8 km range). While images from only five drones can be displayed at a single time, as many as 10 drones can be linked to the control gauntlet with the user having the ability to flip from one to another. This is especially handy if a drone transmits a help signal.

Leo wanders in with a smile. Looking to the shopkeep, he gestures widely and says "I bet you can guess what I'm looking for?"

If they have any in stock, he will buy a set of Environmental Titan Plate Armor (110,000 credits; uncommon)

He will also attempt to purchase an NG 404 heavy rail gun with the 2400-round drum of ammo and a spare. (122,400 credits total weapon + ammo; uncommon)

Invoke Trust: 35% 1d100: [52] = 52

If Leo fails to locate any suitable armor or weapons, he will leave, and try to reconnect with the team to see if someone with better shopping skills than he has can locate it.

[Consumer]

A handsome man with short spiky blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a Northern Gun uniform on approaches Leo. His face is framing a wide smile full of perfect teeth.

"I bet you can guess what I'm looking for?"

The man continues to smile a chuckle a little. "I would not say a small car. So maybe armor, possible a new weapon?" The man says jovially.
"Name's Garrison Burne, but you can call me Garrison. What can I get you specifically?" Garrison says.

After Leo explains what he is looking for, Garrison nods. "I do believe we have those items in stock, they're not the biggest sellers, but here in Merctown, Titan Juicers are far more common than in the Northern Gun. Let me check our stock and I'll see if we can accommodate you sir." Garrison says before leading Leo to a sales counter. The man slips behind and begins typing at the computer. Garrison Hmm's a few times before looking up. "Well I got good news, bad news. I have the armor, one suit sitting in a crate in the back, and I have the ammo for that gun. I don't actually have the gun... at the moment. I can order one for you and it will take three to five days to arrive. I can set that up, take payment and either have it here for you or delivered to a location of your choosing. What do you say?" Garrison says with a hopeful smile.

Note

Armor will run you 110,000 credits. Railgun will run you 125,000, ammo will run you 2,400 for 4,800 rounds and the spare drum.

[Leo]

Leo smiles. "I'd say it sounds like a deal!" Leo will pay the total and give Garrison the address of the Templar HQ to have the weapon delivered.

[Consumer]

Leo smiles. "I'd say it sounds like a deal!" Leo will pay the total and give Garrison the address of the Templar HQ to have the weapon delivered.

Garrison smiles. "we would be glad to do that for you, just slot your card here and we'll finish the transaction." Garrison turns to an associate. "Bring the suit of Titan plate up and a two full loads for a four oh four." The employee nods and scurries off.

"Shouldn't be more than a minute. Do you want to wear the suit out of the store or keep i boxed up?"

A minute or two later the employee returns with a dolly with a large crate and five ammo cases.

"Here is what you purchased, I will have the rail gun delivered in three to five days." Garrison says. "Thanks for shopping with Northern Gun."

Rufus wanders in and notices Leo talking to the sales rep. "Pozdravljeni, big guy. Getting anything particularly awesome?"

When he gets the attention of either that rep or another one he'll flash his best 'winning smile.' "Pozdravljeni, friend. I'm hoping you can help me find a few items today. First of all, I need some communication solutions for my companions and myself while out in the field. I've seen some comm units about this big..." he makes a shape with his hands about the size of a pack of cigarettes. "I figured if anyone in MercTown would have them, it would be the fine folks at Northern Gun. Ideally I'm looking at a dozen, but if not I'll take as close to that as I can get."

The salesman taking care of Leo smiles. "I'll be with you in just a few moments sir." He says while finishing up Leo's order. Once Leo is on his way, the man approaches Rufus. "I'm glad you came to Northern Gun for your needs. I'm sure we can help you get all the things you need. My name is Garrison by the way." Garrison says before listening to what Rufus needs.

"On dozen medium communicators, and vibro-claw gauntlets. The radios I'm sure we have, the Vibro-Claws, I'll have to check stock. Excuse me for a few moments." Garrison says before moving back behind the counter and the computer. A couple of minutes pass. "I have good news, I have one in stock. Apparently it was sold to us by some mercenaries a few weeks back. According to the entry, it's been cleaned, detailed, and checked for flaws." Garrison says with a wide smile.

"All in all, twelve radios, and the vibro-claws will run you eighty-four thousand credits universal or NGMI script." Garrison says confidently.

"Shouldn't be more than a minute. Do you want to wear the suit out of the store or keep i boxed up? ...Here is what you purchased, I will have the rail gun delivered in three to five days." Garrison says. "Thanks for shopping with Northern Gun."

Leo smiles. "I'd be happy to wear that suit on home - keeps my hands free for the ammo, right?" Leo will suit up in the shiny new Titan Plate, noting that it doesn't smell at all like swamp-tainted dinosaur guts.

As he finishes the last of the armor's clasps, he sees Rufus enter. He grins widely at him.

"Pozdravljeni, big guy. Getting anything particularly awesome?"

He gestures to the armor. "New duds - this'un doesn't smell like Dino blood. Also getting a big ol' railgun, though that's to be delivered when it comes in. You?"

Leo lingers as Rufus completes his transaction. Once the fees have been agreed to and paid, Leo says "I can give you a hand carrying those. It's literally my only skill." He chuckles. Leo will then accompany Rufus to his next stop, glad to have a guide in this new town.

Town's laid out all right - but I'm glad they gave me a map at the gate or I'd still be wanderin' the streets.
