Ok, I know I'm probably just missing it, but I can't seem to find anything regarding rules about setting up weapon/equipment/money caches or drops.   What I'm thinking is something along the lines of  U.S. Marshals, were he had some money and a gun in a smoke shop, or Bourne with the money/gun/passports in a safe deposit box.

A point in the right direction would be great.

Thanks.

Not to give too much of a hint, but a couple of the classes in WoF have caches.
In a different matter, several existing abilities give some cache abilities - wheelman's ability to get a replacement vehicle at some point (might be under their selectable abilities).
Otherwise, you could either use Request checks as abstracted caches or I'd personally have no problem with you declaring part of your mission/personal gear in a hidden cache somewhere...

I wasn't thinking so much of a request, but for those times when you don't have access to the "company assets".   Whether you deep undercover or you've been burned, how do you create said caches for those classes that don't start with them.     I guess you could go with the Safehouse feat, but I wasn't thinking of something that big.

Request works just as well.  It's functionally the same, you're just not contacting the Agency you're contacting an old friend or finding where you left the key or whatever.  Another possible alternative is make it third option for a contact.  Consultant, Specialist, Cache.  Not quite sure for the rules... Maybe treat a cache as containing wealth equal to the contact level + threat level split between possessions and cash only?

There are quite a few class abilities (or feats?) that say things like "this request is outside agency channels", does this not cover what you're looking for?
Also there's the set of feats which grant you options in "your home", which as a GC I'd have little problem with the home being a prearranged site

Read how the Safehouse (Tradecraft) feat is written. Portable cache-o-rama hiding in there Smiley.

The Jason Bourne scene definitely had an inspirational effect on the Cache abilites in WoF.

I had read the Safehouse feat, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for.  It would work.   So I'll definitely be getting WoF when it comes out then, not that I wasn't going to anyway, for the Cache abilities.

Thanks Morg.
