You need to edit your post Mercy, there is no security camera at the motel.  Also, if you want to make a skill roll or do an analysis it will be at negative modifiers if you do the check remotely.

Snow has dropped all remote operations except for the security camera and an attempt on the commlink of one of the gangers.  The software to protect the team net should not be draining her since it is just background running on the commlink, right?

You have the team's commlinks slaved to yours, I am not with my books at the moment, but IIR there is a slaved system limit that would eventually caused negatives, but you are nowhere near that.  Your commlink hacks provided no useful information, as the numbers in the phonebook use actual names not street names like Bacchus.

I was thinking that the links might not have his specific name, but there might be one or two names they called a lot and that might be Bacchus or a mid-level guy that could provide a link to Bacchus.  Just as likely to be a bookie or prostitute, though, I guess.

Mercy, let me get a Medicine skill roll, but understand you are going to be at negative modifiers to your pool due to remote examination.  You would be a lot better off doing an exam in person.

If you're really curious, I could probably have Sam try to convince them to leave the bar, where you could encounter them directly...though I'm not sure it'd be worth the bother. :D

No.  I am not sure that it is that important.  Sorry I brought it up.  I was hoping to see if there was some way you could influence them if you knew what they were on.  Bad idea.

No, it's a good idea; the only question is whether Snow would be able to tell enough from the feed to give more than the general advice Con came up with. And we can't really know that unless you roll the dice the GM asked for.

Of course, no matter what you come up with, Sam's his own character, and tends to let his instincts guide him. So don't worry too much about steering him wrong.

Snow can at least try.  What are the negative dice pool modifiers?

Just to let you know I'm still alive, but without much to do at the moment, so not posting.

Snow rolls to see if she can identify the drug the ganger is on.  Normal 8d6 is 4d6 due to being remote. 

Analyze ganger drug: 4d6t5 2

Two hits is not too bad.  She might get something.  Edited the IC post.

They aren't on drugs.  They are a bit dehydrated, and probably hungry.  If Torley  can find the manual release on their chipjacks  he can eject the beetles (BTLs, Better-Than-Life chip) they are running.

I just want it said, I rolled this on google and took a screenshot.  I really was going to let this go if this hadn't happened.
