Description

Ermine is a middle aged man, with an Eastern European look. He's relatively thin and wiry, and has coarse black hair and a trimmed beard. He's a relatively jovial man who spends most of his time thousands of feet up in the air, suspended from thin wires. You're damn right he's going to be making a couple of extra bucks on the side.

• Likes: Nicely packed lunches, warm coffee, thin windows
• Dislikes: Polarized windows, working in bad weather, corp drones that remember that he is a contractor.

The Building Table

When using Ermine's abilities roll on the building table. The GM sets the threshold and may deny Ermine's help entirely or adjust the cost of his services.

I've Worked that Building Before

Ermine has been working in the window washing business for decades. He has probably worked on a building before and he probably has some notes on what the layout would be on the inside and what kind of security might be present. Roll on the Building Table. On 3 hits, Ermine will be able to help the runners with his notes on the building. These notes come at a cost detailed in the Building Table.

• Buildings under 10 stories will not have notes on them.

Architect of Escape

Ermine has worked for nearly every contractor in Seattle. He will be able to position a window washer rig for runners on a building so that they can use it as a point of entry or egress. Ermine will not actually be there to operate the equipment, but he will give the runners access to the controls.

Bucket and a Squeegee

If you need a copy of a card to get into another building, give him a call. He might already have a workman's pass to get into the maintenance areas, or he might be able to make a temporary copy if you get him an existing passcard. But it's on a timer, chummer. You've got less than two hours. If you get spotted and that pass is tied back to the break in Ermine will require 2,000 nuyen to cover the cost of putting that worker up for a month while he gets him a new job. If you use the card to commit wanton murder or other terroristic acts Ermine will cut off all contact from you. He might be crazy but he isn't that crazy.

• You may rebuy Ermine at a later date for an additional 2 GMP.

Crystal Clear Signal

Ermine can disguise a sensor on a window for you to allow you to spy on the occupants on the other side. He will do this for a fee, and since these sensors are located within tags that window washers use to indicate completion of a window they will only remain for a single day. Ermine also can give you some of his tampered sensors. Consider him as having a specialty to acquiring sensors and sensor tags.
