[ATHATH]

He'll probably continually search for better and better parts. Also, here's some character information from the original game that I took him from.

Character Bio:
It is arguable whether or not the human being born as Alex McTeague still exists. Driven by an obsession with perfecting his form, he has replaced most of his parts with a mechanical or vat-grown replacement. Originally funding his transhumanism through corporate bounty hunting, he joined Invisible when his augmentation ambitions grew beyond what is available on the open market.

Character Description from the Head of Invisible Inc.:
Most people find Sharp off-putting because of his cybernetic enhancements. *I* find him off-putting because he's a sociopath with almost no regard for human life. I shudder to think of what he's capable of, and I say this as a person who spends most of her time interfacing with a disembodied artificial intelligence.

[ATHATH]

"He gave it to a disembodied prankster, so I figured that he was willing to sacrifice it."

Don't augment Ryker's phone if he doesn't want it to be augmented.

[Hawk132]

"Augmenting my phone is unnecessary. The ghost staying in it is a temporary thing. I hope."

Ryker follows behind Ken.

[Stirk]

I can deal with a knife if nesscary though i prefer longer weapons for reach.
((Cyborg character arc?))

((More along the line of "story arc" I guess. For example, lets say someone's character was built around finding their long lost brother. They joined up with Ken just for the chance of finding him, spend the start of the game crying about how he may never find him, checked all the thugs for a specific birthmark the brother is supposed to possess, then walk up to the plane only to discover the pilot was their long lost brother all along! The quest they where on, 'finding the long lost brother' is over the second they find him, meaning the story about the quest is over. It doesn't mean the story as a whole is over ("Whats that brother? You have absurd debts to pay? Don't worry, I know just the way to fix this!"), but it can feel cheap if it is accomplished too quickly such as in that example ^ and it can leave a hole in the character if it's not prepared for. The second Sharp actually becomes a cyborg, the story of "Sharp becoming a cyborg" is over. The story has a lot of potential that is lost if the entire plot "so he joined up with a black market dealer and used a bunch of aug parts from the cargo plane". That isn't to say it is an entirely bad thing, Sharp's story then changes from "becoming a cyborg" to "becoming a better cyborg", which ATHATH might want to do. Which is why I asked him how fast he was planning on accomplishing his character's goal.))

"Augmenting my phone is unnecessary. The ghost staying in it is a temporary thing. I hope."

Ryker follows behind Ken.

"If this becomes permanent, I will look into purchasing a combat robot with the money I would have spent hiring him. Could someone bring the van around?"

[Hawk132]

"I think Sharp should do it. I wouldn't be much of a bodyguard if I went."

[Pancaek]

After some discussions and some introductions Ken makes his way over to te airplane, flanked by Ryker. When they approach, the pilot looks up and nods to Ken. He's a somewhat taciturn man that Ken has worked with on a few occasions before this one.

"Your stuff is on the tarmac, seperate from everything else. I put the special case seperate so you can check it more easily. As usual-" He taps the tablet he's holding with his stylus "-there is no record of this stuff having been on board, and you and I never talked."

He then points Ken towards where his crates are.

[Stirk]

"Thank you, and I apologize for the mess my subordinates made. Would you like me to have them clean it up? It might be better simply to send for a crew who knows what they are doing, one of us can arrange for that later."

After receiving an answer, Ken motions to those following him and makes his way over to the special case. He opens it carefully, taking a quick mental inventory before nodding.

"Yes, this appears to be the specialized gear I ordered. There is a little something here for everyone."

Ken first pulls out a Serbu Super-Shorty, attempting to conceal it on his person the best he can. He then pulls out a generic-looking case and puts on the ground in front of him.

"These are for me. Ryker, I was unsure of what weapon would best suit you as an upgrade, so I got you this."

Ken then pulls a MAC-10 from the case, handing it to Ryker.

"I thought you would like something concealable with a greater rate of fire and ammunition capacity than your revolver. It should also benefit you in stealth missions, it is supposed to work wonderfully with its suppressor. If you dislike it, you may trade with someone."

Assuming that Sharp did, indeed bring the van over, Ken looks through the window and fixes his glasses. Somewhat hesitantly, he pulls out a pistol from the case and hands it to Sharp.

"For you, an M1911 Government model. In addition, there is a custom augmentation arm as promised. It is capable of loading fifty pistol-caliber rounds in a gun concealed in the forearm. It splits in half to activate, and reloads a bit up from that. The arms will stay in the trunk and will be loaded into the van with the rest, a doctor will have to connect the arm at a later date. Don't make me regret doing this..."

Ken then looks through the case, pulling out a moderately sized straight blade with a look of mild confusion on his face.

"...And for the Friendly Ghost, we apparently have a sword bayonet. When off a gun, it acts just like a short sword. These are generally more popular in the Japanese underground than in Africa, one must have been placed here by mistake. It should work well enough for now."

He puts it back in the case for now, seeing as the intended recipient doesn't currently have hands, and shuts the case.

"In addition, we have two magazines worth of Armor Piercing ammunition for every gun we got. Save those for the cyborgs and robots. I also got everyone one magazine worth of high-quality match grade ammo, for when we cannot afford to miss a shot. Every weapon capable of accepting one has its own suppressor in here. Finally, everyone gets a grenade. Frag for me, Ryker, and Sharp. The New Guy gets a flashbang. That should be everything for weapons. If there are no issues or questions, lets get the goods loaded up and lets get out of here."

[Hawk132]

"A MAC-10, huh? I don't usually use full-auto guns, but I'll take it. And seeing how Ghost doesn't have arms at the moment, I'll hold onto the bayonet for now. Unless one of you wants to take it."

Ryker mounts a suppressor on his new gun and hides it beneath his trenchcoat, along with the grenade and ammo. If he is allowed to take the bayonet, then it will disappear under the trenchcoat as well. He'll begin helping out with loading the truck afterwards.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

The knightly hero chuckles
I am probably the only one who can get away with bringing a melee weapon to a Gun fight I'm kinda hard to kill i presume.

[Stirk]

Ryker mounts a suppressor on his new gun and hides it beneath his trenchcoat, along with the grenade and ammo. If he is allowed to take the bayonet, then it will disappear under the trenchcoat as well. He'll begin helping out with loading the truck afterwards.

"I had determined that a non-automatic gun you would still be capable of concealing would be redundant to your revolver."

Ken opens up the case again, pulling out the bayonet and handing it to Ryker.

"I suppose you are holding him anyway, holding his weapon too shouldn't be an issue."

The knightly hero chuckles
I am probably the only one who can get away with bringing a melee weapon to a Gun fight I'm kinda hard to kill i presume.

"Generally, melee weapons are popular among augmented humans. Many use the enhanced strength and defenses to good effect, I even have several models of melee augments in this shipment. Guns will always have an advantage, but you are not alone in bringing knives to gunfights in this world."

[AbstractTraitorHero]

The Knight frowns
ah good to know also i never gave my name it's Yūrei its Japanese for ghost.

[Stirk]

((Ah, that explains her name then, doesn't it? NGE's famouse YurRei, I mean.))

"...Speaking of Ghost, how do you expect to use the weapon like this, Mr. Yuri? The phone is fairly delicate, and not a place you will want to be for the long-term."

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Well i could always order a robot hack someones bank account use that money to buy it hack myself into said robot then use said melee weapon.

[Hawk132]

((Rei's name actually means 'zero', if my memory serves me correctly... and now I kinda want to watch the Rebuild movies again.))

"We could get him a Chinese-made robot body for cheap."

[AbstractTraitorHero]

I could always hack some random persons braincase though that can be extremely annoying also yuri is a form of girl love commonly between animated cartoon or anime characters in fanfiction yurei is different.
