Tomatoes
| I mean, it wouldn't be "impossible", just difficult. But in a city like this, where everything is bleak as shit anyway, you shouldn't try to take her last light of hope away from her.
Who knows? Maybe she could grow some good tomatoes.
Where to find the seeds though...
-Fuschia Fedora.
| Maybe you are right... I worry about her though. Living in such a small apartment is one thing but living in a small apartment you essentialy make even smaller because you put it full of plants is a whole new can of worms.
Not just getting the seeds would be kinda difficult though. I guess you can find those online. Well I think so atleast. Never looked into the market of tomato seeds. Maybe corps are up in that biz too. Wouldn't put it past them... Who ever is running that market
| Ha you think seeds are an issue? How are you gonna get good soil in this city of concrete and steel?
| >Not just eating the soy you are given
Sounds like mister is an ubgrateful fuck
| I've been thinking.
This endeavour my ma is planning is gonna cost alot of cash right?
She is so headstrong she will probably do whatever it takes to get the funds to do it.
Maybe I should do something. If I can't stop her from doing something ridiculous like spending all her earnings just to grow fucking tomatoes, maybe I should bite the bullet and do something more lucrative to get the funds for her.
Alot of people rub the shadows here right?
...is that a good way to make money?
| (ooc: great, suddenly I have a new postid)
I mean, anything would beat slaving away at a fucking deskjob and I'm currently doing deliveries as sort of a freelance thing. It pays the bills at least.
I guess running is more lucrative??
| >>217987
Considering the only feasible way i see this plan of your mothers working is with hydroponics...
Yeah ya need some muns...
| >>217992
I thought so.
How do people even start running in the first place?
I mean, do they go find the shadiest place in town and ask at the counter or do they go on a message board and post a job application or some shit like that?
Can't be that everyone conveniently finds a job in the shadows because they know a guy who knows a guy or something
| >>218002
I mean, not going to lie, the money is decent. But shadowrunning is crazy dangerous. Some people do it because that's ALL they can do. You got to make sure you're committed for this if you're going to do it. Don't take this the wrong way but, running just for the plants is a little ridiculous. There's plenty of reasons people do this in the end, so I won't judge, just saying to think on this decision first. -CN
| I guess its pretty stupid of a reason, but making money is pretty hard if you don't wanna end up as another gear in the soulless machine that is the corporate world. The prospect of good money and potentially sticking it to the man is tempting.
Its not like my current job qualifies as 100 percent legal and save anyways because who knows whats in these packages I haul around. I swear I heard a ticking the other day coming from one of them.
| Although, to my defense, its not my business what people put in the proverbial mailbox.
I'm just the girl who delivers this stuff.
| >>218541
Well if you're adamant about doing so I'm not going to stop you then. I guess where to start would be to bring about what skillsets you bring to the table. You got to be able to do something during a run. -CN
| Lemme think...
I'm a good driver and I know the roads of glitch city like the back of my hand (I mean it kinda comes with the territory to be honest).
I'm also decent in fixing stuff and I guess I have aome delivery drones that I know how to use.
I could make something out of them I assume
| I dabbled a bit with decking, not really good with it yet. I can at least get into some vending machines and get free coffee.... Qnd stuff.
As for VR, I use VR to do some jobs actually. Some clients want digital packages delivered personally, but not physically. It was always kinda weird to me.
I guess that way they can be a little more sure that their goods get where they belong. That also why I picked up decking to be honest. Gotta make ends meet what wver way possible
| >>218582
I was mostly asking because if you're good at driving, and experienced with VR or full dive becoming a rigger may be your best option
| >>218577 >>218582
Hmm... well you seemed to have some skillsets but you should probably focus on one or two. Rigging might be useful since you got drones and can fix stuff, and a getaway driver is never underappreciated. It seems like decking is your weakest area though, so I'm not sure how much you'd be willing to invest in, as decking usually requires expensive hardware. -CN
| >>218584
And lets be fair, deckers are sometimes essential and all, but if you got a good team, you'll most likely find one to help.
That or take full on physical jobs, with no electronics involved.
| Rigging sounds hella interesting. I heard about it in another thread. Becoming one wit the machine sounds like quite the experience.
I gotta get some augs though, right?
Any suggestions?
| >>219734
Sadly I'm not that knowledgeable on drone work and stuff like that. My girlfriend is a little more knowledgable on working with machines but I'm kind of clueless unless its software stuff. -CN
| >>219734
>>219849
It depends on what you want to control. ^^ The most common one is a vehicle control rig, which works just like it sounds. -Sentient_Engine
| >>220299
Everything good? I think Atmos got some rust when I borrowed him for the plane so I did some polishing on him earlier. -CN
| >>219734
Meanwhile, while all of you were figuring out where to get the money for this, I did some research on where to get the materials. Turns out that hydroponics are going to be your easiest method, but you may just be able to find some natural soil and seeds, as well as some UV lamps.
There's a hidden Agri-District north of where they tell us that the Northern Outskirts are, just past the "border", that grows real food for rich folk. Nearly impossible to get there...however,
| ...we wouldn't need to get into the district to get things out of it. There's a fella that I remember from my law days that we caught smuggling fruit tree seeds and fertilizer into the city, but he kept his mouth shut on where it came from. Name's Dalton Brookswerve, and I think I know where I may be able to find him. He could smuggle some stuff out of the hidden Agri-District for you...for the right price, of course.
That's your best shot at the real shit.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| Glitch City never ceases to amaze me.
Quite frankly though, I'm not surprised.
I guess I'm going to try and find a control rig
| >>225092 Excuse me, but I do my best to help people. I consider this helping somebody. This person's mom wants to do something with her life before she dies, something truly remarkable that most people wouldn't do themselves. She has hope, and I want to try and reward that optimism whenever I see it. She deserves it. Just because it is illegal doesn't mean it's bad, I really want to help this person and their mom, even if it takes questionable character.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| >>225215 We can pull together and make something happen, I'm sure. Tell me if you need my help and I'll do the best I can. I would love to see your mother grow tomatoes.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| >>225571
Agri-district sounds like a interesting area to explore.
Can you give me the coordinates or something like that?
>N3verW3re
| >>225573 As I said, it is nearly impossible to get into. Guarded by 24/7 shoot-on-sight private security for one thing, as well as firewalled behind black ICE for anybody who wants to deck it. The place only caters to the top of the top, which is why it doesn't exist on any map. In other words, it isn't a place you can just "explore". The clearance you need to even go there is far beyond what the average citizen would ever even realize exists.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| The only reason I heard it exists is because of some in-database digging around at my old work. They get access to a lot of the corps private affairs, even if the corps don't always know about it. Corporate immunity comes with a trade-off. Part of the side effects of bureaucratic supremacy, is you have people trying their best to keep tabs on you at all time, and when those people are White Knights...yeah. So, visited an old coworker, got some top-secret info.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| Rigging is easier done with a simjack if you ask me but a control rig is fine if you're starting out.
The sensation can be a little overwhelming at first, but being one with a machine or a building in my case, controlling it as if its a part of yourself, now thats the best.
-Kou
| Thanks for all the help you guys.
Through some digging I found a doc that can get me the implants and is willing to do the surgery, so I'll be outfitted soon.
Oh, I just realized I need a handle like anyone else, huh?
Its confusing if I stay that anon girl forever.
I guess you can call me tomato because my mom grew me lol
| >>220345
Thanks for that. ^-^ And yeah, everything's fine- I've been working on a new spider rig; and we've fixed most of the damage to the building by now. Just have the top floor left... -Sentient_Engine
| >>226566
T-Thats good. Can't wait to see it when it's done then. I'll pass by later when I'm doing with some work okay? -CN
| I guess I'll hit up my clients and see if I can get in on this district, who knows, maybe I'll be able to get some real veg after all.
-Cain
| >>226698 I truly would not recommend it, as I said. This isn't a place most people even know exists, much less can find their way into. Unless you're QUINCY or the CEO of a top-level corps, you'll likely be shot on sight.
Then again, you g/u/rls are nothing if not creative. Who knows, maybe you have a phantom who can get in undetected, or a contact on the inside. Maybe you'll figure something out, just don't expect it to be easy...at all. I wouldn't risk it.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| I feel as if this is kinda pointless, contemplating going to a secret district full of illegal shit, danger, adventure and loot in every corner.
Who am i kidding? That sounds awesome!
But you want real fruits and veggies one only need to go to neo fresco.
Agriculture is not illegal there.
Its actually supported.
>N3
| Woah, okay hold on
Before this thread explored a new district, OP wanted help funding a vegetation project?
Sorry to be late(haywire here since tungsten rods pierced my apartment) but I can negotiate prices for *real* greens. I've been meaning to connect with a couple of other friends about it. -KN
| >>227116 It is in an area we commoners don't have an access to, but geographically it is located above the northernmost border of Glitch City, just past an area known as the Northern Outskirts.
-Fuschia Fedora
| >>230679
Well I get packed with augs pretty soon, so...
But I guess getting a supply line of greens I can et veggies for my mom is not bad. Might stop her from doing something stupid right away.
Thanks.
-tomato
| >>232426
Oh you were talking to me.
Uhhh neo fresco is just what the locals of the area call neo san Francisco.
>N3
| Oh. Now that name rings a bell
-tomato

| So, i visited my mom the other day. She made a salat and between this and that she told me she wanted to turn her apartment into a green house basically. Something about the veggies you buy in store are just labgown abominations and don't taste anthing like "real" veggies.
I mean, this is crazy right?
She is living in what feels like a shoebox (you know how it is here in glitch city right?) and she wants to grow vaggies.
I don't know uow ro deal with her... Or this... Or anything.
