Solo has the heighten concern power so he can actually either negate spell sustaining penalty or negate  noise.
So I wasn't sure how many dice to roll, I rolled 20 his ideal hot slimmed dice.
Hacking: 20d6t5 11
20d6t5: 11 [20d6t5=5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 1, 5, 5, 4, 5, 6, 3, 6, 1, 1, 4, 1, 6, 3, 1]
As long as the total penalty is no greater than  9 dice Solo should reach his maximum of 9 hits.

Really unique capability to keep cheering in excitement while hot simming... channeling + hacking is a really interesting combination.

Are you using Smoke and Mirrors to increase your Sleaze rating?

Nope, I think we have a noise problem  and I had no idea I'll roll 11 hits. 9 seemed like a super good limit.
Solo's deck got a vectored signal processor in the universal port.
Along with signal scrub that's 4 NC, . his highten concern can either take down the -2 of spell sustain, or the excess noise over 4. In the latter case it can remove 4 more noise, at the cost of a complex action but I think that as long as we do not enter combat time it should be good.

I hope I am not getting us into troubles - but Solo would totally try to have a look in their communications before following them blindly.

Well, that might actually be a job for my agent cluster: Through teamwork they can pretty reliably break the limits. Only problem is, our characters don't know about each others capabilities

This is why idle time is important ;)
How do you run an agent cluster by the way, I think you are only allowed to use 1 copy of each program. Do you use multiple devices or something?

Exactly: Nixdorf Secretaries + Sleaze Dongle for an Agent 6 on a virtual machine module on my main commlink.

Well, it's 7000 (4000 for comlink + 3000 for dongle) NY per unit, but +1 limit and +X bonus dice are really nice :D

Crap! Forgot to post this OOC:

Dispelling The Harlequin's Mind-mojo: 17d6t5: 7
Drain from Dispelling: 17d6t5: 3[/ur;]
[url=http://orokos.com/roll/313267]Edge to Reroll Drain Failures: 15d6t5: 5


The -6 implies a force 6 spell, so I'm proceeding on the assumption that its F6 control emotions.

So yeah, that's gone. No drain. Jack, you may want to edit your post.

Have edited my post. If I find the time tomorrow I'll incorporate also a bit of Isaint's backstory

Blagh... this stuff really is a pain in the neck (no pun intended with my neck problems ATM) hopefully won't take too long to sort out and I can get back into the loop.
