hope this will be correct way to do it, as i am no Mage i left those part out.
It would help if all of you could post here the runner current status and dice pools in the Kot's format.

Comforts (Squatter)
You own a few pieces of furniture, but if anyone comes over, they'll probably have to sit on the floor. What you do have is scavenged, barely functional, and outdated.
Examples: There's a bare mattress on the floor, crates for a table, and a stolen folding chair.
Entertainment (Low)
You have a budget to cover some basics and enough to pay for a monthly subscription or two, all of it commercial-laden or low quality. You also can afford a few date nights and basic personal care.
Examples: You have a subscription to a few trid shows, music, or casual AR gaming sites with a vanilla avatar. Date night consists of a show at the local simsense theatre and dinner at the soy-noodle stand. You hang out at the local hole-in-the-wall club & bar with synthahol and recorded music. You make a monthly visit to the barbershop or low-end salon.
Necessities (Squatter)
You have a roof and three or four walls to keep you dry and keep the elements out. There's enough room for you to have a visitor, but if they want to spend the night, it'll be very cozy. You have limited power, light, and heat, either heavily rationed or with enough fuel to run portable sources a few hours a day. You might not suffer from malnutrition, but you certainly aren't the picture of health. Wireless coverage is spotty, at best.
Examples: You live in an abandoned building, a homeless shelter, a shantytown hut, or a coffin motel. You have enough food to eat at least one solid meal a day, but it's unprocessed, unflavored soy, and you drink rainwater or second-hand bottled water with it. You wear clothing from charity bins or the Salvation Army. You might have an army surplus sleeping bag and a flashlight.
Neighborhood (Squatter)
A step up from the lawless chaos of the streets, this neighborhood has some (mostly) inhabitable buildings, some shops or markets (which probably deal in barter or certified cred only), and a neighborhood watch or larger gang to provide security. Of course, anyone walking the streets had better be armed, but chances are you won't be killed just for your shoes. Police presence is minimal, although they will enter the area (heavily armed, of course) if there are major problems, such as high-profile serial killers. Residents tend to live crammed together in squatted buildings, but at least they have a roof and three or four walls. Garbage is collected by scavengers, or it accumulates in the alleys.
Limitations: You cannot choose higher than Middle for Comforts.
Examples: Most of Puyallup Barrens, parts of Everett (Seattle), Pomona (LA), parts of Kowloon Walled City (Hong Kong)
Security (Squatter)
You have somewhere to put your stuff, even if it's just a locked box inside your tiny hovel or a DIY storage unit. It's out of sight, but even common thieves will have little trouble getting access.Device Rating: 1; Professional Rating: 0
Examples: Locker at bus station, mechanical locks, scavenged safe.
Positive Qualities (5 LP)
Aspected Domain (5): Over time, many similar residents have manipulated the forces of magic here and groomed them to become aspected in favor of a particular magic tradition. This gives an aspected background count of 2 to that tradition (see p. 118, Street Magic).
Negative Qualities (0 LP)
--
Assume there is a one and a half of week break between the end of the last scenario and the begin of the new one.
If you socialize with any of your contacts it'll take time to make it worthwhile. You should socialize with all that are loyalty 3 or higher. Loyalty 3 take half of your day, loyalty 4 and up will take one.
In your case there is unlimited time :D
ten days limit are only for Cursor and Calico (and Wilco if he appear)
being fresh from creation, you may have one attempt at lifestyle spoofing. Further attempts will have to be done after the run within the same timeframe as others. I'll have to check the lifestyle spoofing rules though to give you the results
If some contacts wont talk to me let me know
Oh and to those joining we use Blue for out loud, Green for Matrix/Subvocal and Whatever you want for anything else.
Just changed the color of it. Thanks for advising, Chrona.nice to know, mine 9 do not compare.
Kouryuu, my negotiation poll is 18 dice (if the negotiation is being made in person... at a distance it would be so much).
How long till I bleed this job
Day 1: Mostly doing nothing and playing with Mephistopheles. He also tries to Spoof part of his next month Lifestyle payment. (Just one roll, since I've spent most of the time with the cat - Hacking + Spoof http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983580/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983580/) - 6 sucesses).
Day 4: Trying to Spoof the next month Lifestyle payment (Hacking + Spoof; Made two rolls, I don't remember how much time do someone spend in these attempts; http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983578/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983578/) - one roll got 2 successes, the other got 6 successes)
Day 5: Trying to Spoof the next month Lifestyle payment (Again, same thing - http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983580/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2983580/), 5 successes and 4 successes)
Okay, I just wanted to have some works of art already available for my guerrilla attempts...
May I consider some of my RFIDs are already worked out?
My usual Threading myself half to death lol
Spoofing Advanced Lifestyle Categories
Some characters may choose to utilize the Lifestyle Spoofing rules presented in Unwired (see Spoofing Life, p. 99, Unwired). To utilize this with the Advanced Lifestyle rules, the character must spoof each category separately. The thresholds for each category remain the same
as presented in Unwired. However, the intervals are significantly reduced for each category. While the interval to spoof an entire lifestyle, based on the basic lifestyle rules, is one day, the interval to spoof any category of the Advanced Lifestyle rules is six hours. Any glitches on any of the tests result in a Negative Lifestyle quality (to be chosen by the gamemaster). The results are good for one month of living expenses. While the lifestyle may be increased at any time during the month, Negative qualities remain in effect for the duration of the month.
You may also kill the fellow runners after the job and get entire pool for yourself.
What do you think?
Have I told you Cursor can do ~30P+ with his bow if annoyed? lol
im creating a mage to do the magical support. Can I get a spell casting foci at character creation? I saw it talked about karma to bind.If anyone wonder, we are waiting for IC posts from Sichr, Codac and possibly JDA. We are going on once we have them, or by Monday.
Have I told you Cursor can do ~30P+ with his bow if annoyed? lolI wonder, what does it take to make him THAT annoyed. Go for it Fractal. I'll watch.
Bound spirits cost a number of BP equal to the
number of services owed. The number of services it owes may not be
greater than the magician’s Summoning skill (or Conjuring skill group,
if applicable). The bound spirit’s Force equals the magician’s Magic attribute.
The maximum number of spirits a magician may have bound
into service is equal to his Charisma attribute.
Thanks, I will edit it to be 3 services each and Add a 1 pt each to the blogger and talismonger contacts 1 loy. & 1 connect..
...At the end of the ritual, the magician makes an Opposed Test
pitting her Binding + Magic against the spirit’s Force x 2. The magician
may receive additional dice from a spirit focus or a mentor spirit,
if she has one. The magician requires one net hit to bind the spirit.
Additional net hits beyond the first add to the number of services the
spirit owes....

I'm lacking better armor and a troll bodyguard standing between us. After I get these minimum prerequisites, I'll do it.
For the time being, we can sit and negotiate. I think I'm more comfortable this way.
Name: Riker
Initiative pass 1 / 4
Sustaining focus

Hehe, don't worry, people, you Face would never be a turn-coat and such a bastard. That's not how he works.
Also, he really knows how dependent of a team he is. Teammates and contacts are the blood of the social-based runner.
Sichr,
I've got an itch and we're moving on, jump into the train asap. I am assuming you have silently nodded you are in.
Fractal,but the negation is at the end of the talking, and we haven't even disused what his interests are or what else we could do, some special tasks or something else.
make a negotiations roll
Please divide that 18 dices to verify if all bonuses apply
following modifiers apply to negotiations
What you want from the Johnson, isn't in his interest, he want the job done, the budget has been set. -1 dice
Your new team seems to agree on the terms as specified. -1 dice
Mr. Johnson, create an impression of power. You don't want to sell cheap, but you want to sell. -2 dice.
You don't really know the background of the situation (how important it is to Johnson) nor the details of capabilities of your team. You have the right skills, but you lack the facts, to back them up. -2 dice.
That is a total -6 dices for you, and the opposing roll against his 10 dice pool
10d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2985103/)
I'll edit the values after the roll in the IC post
snip...
I've presented the modifiers. They're subject to change - if you start shooting at him now, they'll probably change.
snip...
We ll be a good team :Dlet's just hope that our GM survives it. ;D

You mean 5th world or Europe? :)
Yeah I mean the good old "old world" - Europe
looks like JDA and Codac could be from Americas, but there i am not sure.
Just telling you how I always have to do it lol
Just two successes... Frag! (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2985317/)
Hope some of you know your way around the 'trix.
"A bit."
Just telling you how I always have to do it lol
Yup, thank you. Im always glad to learn something new. For example...that I need Acces ID, not the commcode, if I want something that lasts. Ive edited my Roll post to clear this.
I have a questin...would we be able to use this Acces ID to track this man? I mean, can we find his mostly frequented nodes, bloqs or so? I bet that if we do that, we would be able to trace the background of this job. If he is some eco activist, or if he is interrested in some Tribal affairs... Is it posssible to use his ID this way?
Hope some of you know your way around the 'trix.
"A bit."
ROTFL
Ok, describing the dice that I'm rolling for negotiating:
Natural Charisma = 8
Glamour = 3
Negotiate = 4
Tailored Pheromones = 3
Until now, 18, and the augmentation book say that it's at the GM discretion to choose with I may receive additional dice for Vocal Range Enhancer.
- 4 from your modifiers....
Still 14 dice minimum... I guess.
Just two successes... Frag! (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2985317/)

Eeeedge
actually that would -1 more for the team bickering, and I would grant you a +1 for that vocal enhancer (whatever that is, but I assume, you can mimick his 'management baritone')
so that 2 against his 3, no changes
Vocal Range Enhancer (Bioware):
A favored augmentation among pop stars, opera singers and faces alike, this modification greatly enhances the vocal range of the recipient. The recipient can modulate her voice below and above the normal metahuman hearing range, up to the point of emitting ultrasound. Likewise, there are no tonal restrictions, resulting in a full-scale singing voice and the ability to perfectly mimic other voices or sounds.
A vocal range enhancer can act like an ultrasound emitter, and along with hearing enhancement and echolocation can be used as a biological ultrasound system. If the character is observed while emitting ultrasound, the observer will be able to tell that the character is making a noise with his mouth but won’t be able to hear it. A character with this augmentation and hearing enhancement can communicate with other characters possessing the same enhancements at low or high frequencies that are inaudible to normal humans.
At the gamemaster’s discretion, a vocal range enhancer user also gains +1 die for any Social Skill Tests that involve speaking (and +2 dice for all tests involving singing) when her voice is audible. The character may also imitate noises or voices; when doing so to fool a voice recognition system, the character makes an Opposed Test between her Charisma + Con against twice the biometric system’s rating (see p. 256, SR4), or in the case of a metahuman listener, against his Perception + Intuition. The gamemaster should feel free to impose modifiers on this roll based on how familiar both the recipient and her opponent are with the voice or sound that is imitated.

Shouldn't most of the talking between characters have been done either through matrix or subvoc
OK If everyone are at least in passive mode at our table, Ill send out the message...
One Hidden node is my brain
I certainlz hope so >]
Fractal
Role: Face (Has some skills at the Matrix and is a magnificent artist)
Apparent Metatype: Elf (Changeling)
Sex: Male
Apparent Age: Appears to be something between 25 and thirty.
Fractal is a bit like any elf you ever seem. Even though SURGE affected him, fortunatelly it didn't left many visible marks, except for his eyes that are now silver like globes (the chromatic aberration they produce is in part responsible for his nickname Fractal) and his silver hair, which presents a distinct metallic flash. Usually he keeps his eyes hidden behind his googles. He keeps his unusual hair long, so he can use it in a large variety of styles. What suits him more is to make a braid at the back. Even though it's a little strange it does not qualify him as a freak. Most people can point at him and say he is a Changeling (no artificial hair would be so strange and yet so natural), but he is lucky in that it didn't turned him into any inconceivable lifeform. Usually, he wears leather pants, boots and leather overcoats (with or without his trademark red silk shirt), but when a situation asks for a more formal meeting, he looks really good in a suit. Another common attire is a red bandanna that he uses to rides his trodes, but just when in a job.
Another distinctive characteristics: As a Changeling with the metagenic Glamour, there's something in him that makes people find easy to like him.
Shadow Name: Calico CatCursor
Race: Elf
Sex: Female
Height: 5,6
Hair: Dirty Blond
Eyes: Cybereyes that appear green
A normal outfit for her would be black jeans a shirt with the pattern that appears on calico furred cats a lined leather dust combat boots and form fitting body armor underneath it all. She also commonly wears sunglasses which cover her cybereyes and AR gloves.
Her history is kept secret though I think I posted it earlier in the thread. She doesn't trust any of you at all including Cursor...the last job didn't go well.
Weapons expert
Ex-Military Sniper
Cursors got an average but blocky build, shortbrown hair (iirc, honestly i've forgotten). He's pretty average looking except his right cyberarm. male human Wears a combat vest and a Urban Explorer Jumpsuit
he uses a crossbow that he's having a hell of a hard time transporting, currently back at his motel.
And he's purposefully not introduced himself after going though ~4 teammates in two/three months

@Kouryuu: In fact, you need to abstract 6 dices from your radar perception, when you are inside the van, RAM in the signature masking works both ways, I suppose. But if you ask for it, I may give you aces to built-in radar :)true, did not take that in account, had to track down the char sheet. Still, have problems finding how exactly to make this roll.
I'm not sure, but I don't think you can. I guess we need a camera installed on it to do the job.yeah that was one unlucky roll, but at least you did not glitch.
I'm also one of those still learning.
And my first lesson learned is not to trust the dice.
Video recording is a basic functionality of any visual enhancing ware - googles, eyes commlinks also have camera built in even in most basic models unless specifically removed. Routing the deed to record in link is an easy task. Not sure about vehicular sensors. Unless you have sensors installed you cannot record the video from the car directly.
What building? Target facility or the restaurant? I got lost in that comment

OK I think Omar knows that?
Calico will use Gridlink to take her to an address past the target and while driving bye check the layout of buildings nearby.
he starts to turn the picture around making measurement, trying to determine the best places to do the survey,
So Ill look out for other vehicles in the traffic, looking for theirs nodes and aslo using sensors to pick up their signature. Im looking for common cars, nothing extra, visible nodes.
Once I find my pray, Ill stay close to it, I need to do this only on the main crossroads, not all the time.
Once I locate some weak targets in the traffic I:
Close to them...As passing by Ill look for their Acces ID:
Computer(3)+Analyze(5) (8d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2986832/)
When I got it, the Ill:
Jam-on-the-fly the vehicle node:
EW(4)+SPU(2)+Signal(5) (11d6.hits(5)=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2986835/)
Spoof its ID to Gridlink:
Hacking(4)+Spoof(5) (9d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2986837/)
Check the further road, saving the map.
Stop Jamming the vehicles node.
Ïm choosing the slow go targets so there is minimal risk that they would crash when their Autopilot losts gridlink connection. It takes about 3IP to Spoof, download the gridlink map and stop all my operations at once. So It should be overcomed by the autopilot. If it goes well, Gridlink wont even recognize the disruption.
Possible?
Also why you buy spoof chips for your rides.
Business lunch time. About 2PM. Transfer to the facility will probably take less then the hour, but I need to check it.
Whoah wait so 15 minutes per roll? frag
Those of you that make data searches, please state the keywords and make rolls.
I am using limited extended tests for those with an interval of 15 minutes. (you have 5 rolls before you arrive)
If more than one of you datasearch on the same subject this can be treated as teamwork
It is not possible to circle the facility but you may drive by the railroad track/fence.
The obvious things you've seen from the passing by:
- There are railroad tracks running parallel to S Sheridan Blvd on a built up ridgeline, which blocks much of the view of the facility from the road. A 3 meter chain link fence, topped with barbed wire, is on the back slope of the ridge between the tracks and the building. The tracks and fence also bend around the northwest side of the facility. The fence continues to the shoreline, and makes a complete loop around the facility.
- There are two breaks in the fence. The first is the underpass the goes under the tracks along S Sheridan Blvd. There is a sliding chain link gate along the base of the ridgeline.
- The second break in the fence is a swinging gate in the fence on the northwest side of the property, allowing access to the complex of smaller buildings to the northwest.
- The bare asphalt area between the buildings and the water seems to be used as an employee parking lot.
- A guard shack sits under the underpass, manned by 1 guard. The guard is wearing a brown uniform armored jacket, and a matching baseball cap with a large gold eye insignia.
- There is one other guard outside the fence that seems to be patrolling the external perimeter.
EDIT: breaks position changed to reflect the correct rotation of satelite picture
Whoah wait so 15 minutes per roll? frag

p.s. I assume we arrived and will post in 15 min [IC] if not told otherwise
Yes, you've arrived, and made an initial pass with a car.
OK. So when we are on the place, Ill scan the area, first looking for all Active/Passive nodes
EW(4)+SPU(2)+Scan(5) (11d6.hits(5)=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2986965/)
Ill also try to locate the Guards node, even if it is in hiden...
EW(4)+SPU(2)+Scan(5) (11d6.hits(5)=2) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2986967/)

You don't need to roll to scan active/passive nodes - only hidden AFAIR

Radar Sensor: This device emits ultrawideband and terahertzhave rating 4 so should be able to penetrate structure of 20.
radar in short stepped-frequency pulses. An expert system
analyzes the Doppler shift in the bounced signals and converts
the information into a three-dimensional “map” that overlays
(or replaces) the user’s visual senses, similar in some ways to ultrasound.
The advantage to the radar sensor is that it can “see”
through walls and other materials, which appear as translucent.
This system is excellent for detecting motion (even as slight as
breathing), calculating exact distances, and allowing the character
to visualize floorplans, locations of people, and placement
of materials like weapons. It is unaffected by visual tricks like
camouflage and Invisibility spells. It is unable to ascertain colors,
lighting, or other visual features.
The radar sensor uses the same Visibility modifiers as ultrasound.
It can penetrate its rating x 5 of cumulative barrier Structure
ratings (see p. 157, SR4). For example, a Rating 2 radar sensor
could “see through” two Structure rating 5 walls. It can be used
to detect weapons and cyberware on a person in the same way as
millimeter wave radar (p. 255, SR4). Radar sensor cyberware has
an effective Signal rating of 2 for determining the sensor’s range.
Radar sensors are vulnerable to jammers and jamming.
how long was the drive, 30 min?
Same amount of time for me?
Knowing more then you need to or should has killed lots of people. But still it's useful information. Calico responded over the link.
She did a drive by of the building letting her cybereyes record what she saw and flipping through her different vision enhancements. After that she drove to a place with a public parking lot nearby and pulled up a map of the area looking for tall buildings that would give line of sight to the target.
Comm message to the group:
hey if it possible could someone get the ID's from workers who are leaving the 3:30 shift, i know we are 1 h late, but there may still be some, if we are lucky we can use them later somehow, if not, then more info then needed has never killed anyone.

actually it's about 4:00 now with the waiting for guard to pass, and scanning the the facility. But still some people might be leaving just yet - heading for the bus station or to their cars

I am not sure what you meant by NW corner - but if I guess correctly - you have no way to access it without crossing the fence first.
I've marked on the picture your position and radar range and the best spot for second readout.
The fence circles the facility from north and south just outside the photo without further breaks. But the distance would be large enough that a radar wouldn't catch from the outside.
15 minutes later - tactical map update
15 minutes later - tactical map update
[the line from the corner should be diagonal], so I just ask, because it may not be possible to make it that way, and I would like to know if I can go to the next step.
am i in the NW corner of the Tactical map outside the fence or still going there?
Well, as Omar informed me the Johnson ID's, I searched the 'trix about it.

You know what, I dont know how long it take to do your search, but my look for the nodes was max 30 seconds, and I didnt had to wait for the guard passing, so please, consider this as a. You`ve left the rover, and at max. 1 minute later I had the search results. You are too hasty for your own good.

Sichr. What exactly are you doing after the initial matrix scan?
Hell I dont want to look like overcautious, Im also ready to see how they will react. I just dont wantto get chatched in the middle of anything in matrix with the alert goes on.
IMHO
This whole conversation was a bit redundant, because of the speed of our actions are happening:
1. Matrix search is done 0,5 minute after arrival, I have plenty of time to do anything else before Sam is going to do something
2. Astral surveillance is IMHO almost done in the moment Sam is taking cover from the guard, movement in astral is much faster than walking in the physical world.
3. Sam is going to throw the wood on the fence and we are all ready to watch the result.
Next time we will better draw the timeline for this and it would save us a lot of missuderstandings and controversy :)

Okay, gang it looks like most of the recon is done. Still waiting on what chroma finds out. It's now time to go to the safe place and begin planning our disruptions. A few suggestions,1. we will see if we go in in Day/night, ransacking is good
1. I could conjure up a spirit of man and have it cause a accident on the main production line with a service depending on how many I get I could have it cause confusion on the workers. I could also have it conceal the group get us in. We could ran sack the offices and take what equipment we wanted.
2. I like the idea of hiring a gang to protest the entry and try to prevent workers from coming in at the shift change.
3. Figure out a way to cause a complete power failure of the plant, then I could have a spirit destroy the back up generators.
Tell me what y'all think.

2. Not even hiring just need a face to convince them that the guard beat up one of their member
3. That depends, if they have some valuable data, we could sell or use we would lose the opportunity to get them, I guess Omar would not mind getting his hands on some rather rare blueprints
I think we should look at the plant supplies list and the sell list to determine what is there worth getting, no point in stealing doors, if we can get microchips, the value versus transportation, selling difficulty.
Fractal was so displeased with his failure before that he seems a little destracted. Most of the time he did the endeavor quite, and haven't even noticed that he was acting this way. Most of the drive he just spent looking for information on the Johnson, but now that they arrived at the place, he also found a nice idea to search for a employees ID. If later he can find a voice sample and the ID of a high stakes 'wager, them he would be able to turn some things easier for them all.
Omar, if you please can drive next to the bus stops, that would help me...

Some pointers.
Comfy and secure, has no kitchen, at least not a functioning one
Omar can use the shower.
No one should open the Fridge, or the whole place will go Boom
And before I let you in I will enter my Loft trough the window.
p.s. it can happen that I may not be able to get online until tomorrow, so not to hold you up.

small amounts (ie. up to ten clips) can be delivered within 2 hours, delivery 100 yen extra - greater amounts within 24h
The best observation points are:

2. bus station (close to the fence, goo observation point for incoming and outcoming trasnports)
3. lake (no trespassing trees, but easy to spot, lack of escape route, and the fence will still obstruct the view)

How easy would it be to get on the oil tanker and what kind of cover is there on it.
To get there would mean to beat their local security on their own - but since you just want to enter and do nothing that might raise an alarm, it might be fairly easy. There would be no cover over it, but it is the tallest building around, as long as you'll lay low, you'll be pretty much hidden., you can cover yourself with an aluminium painted coat to cover yourself from the flying surveliance drones (hiding against both visual and thermal)
You need a ride? if so, I will refuell the drone on the place, otherwise Ill need to pull him back nad we will lost surveillance for at least two hours.
We will indeed.
But it is a long time..are we going to do something till that time?

Got that Billy. Coming out. Watch the gate. Guard called Danny step out from the shack with gun in hand.
You can see that Skinny positioned himself as to not block the line of shoot for Danny.

couple of questions. Can I still keep line of sight on a subject that I'm making invisible, while under the concealment of a spirit? Could I observe the subject from astral space to keep him or her in my line of sight?
Do they allow me to get away easily or do they follow?
couple of questions. Can I still keep line of sight on a subject that I'm making invisible, while under the concealment of a spirit? Could I observe the subject from astral space to keep him or her in my line of sight?
I may be wrong, but last time I played a magician, I needn't maintain line of sight with a subject of invisible spell to sustain it. I just needed it to be at line of sight to cast, and then the invisible one could walk away and stay hidden from mortal eyes as long as the mage mantains the spell.
I'm not with the book right now. Will check when possible.
Summoning a force 2 sprirt of man to conceal calico at her observation point. (8d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2995146/)
Do you need to maintain line of sight (or touch, with Touch range spells) to sustain a spell? What about Permanent spells?
A spell requires a magical link (touch, sight, material link, symbolic link, etc.) to cast. There is, however, no requirement for the magician to maintain touch or line-of-sight while maintaining the spell, as the link between caster and spell is already in effect. By the same principle, you do not need to maintain touch or line of sight when casting a Permanent spell; the spell must simply be maintained until the spell’s effects become permanent.
So guys. What do you do? You have lots of info. Calico on top of the soy oil tank. How do you want to disrupt their operation?I think that one precise attack with no work beforhand so thei are at the lowest preparation level.
Mind you, that it will probably take more then one action to take them out of business a night and four days left.
I assume that I had that outgoing call to PuebSec also monitored. If not, we will work on this later with Fractal and cursor.
We should also plant some small drones like the Micro-Tapper Bug on the inside during the first break in to assist with further operations. On don't remember how much they cost but it can't be two much.

1000 nuyen each.
Great idea.
ok, the availability is the same so you can have it in two hours.
Hey would my black market pipeline for weapons transfer to ammo as well?
yes - whatever it means ;)
I Wonder what are you planning guys. So far there was a yellow alert physical try. But no matrix no magic no heavy physical attempt. No gangs no mafia.
And the time is ticking...
If you wish to make a contact with gang - post an IC with which one.
Calico, what about you - you're staying on that tank for the next day?
You'll probably get a little thirsty and hungry
I think that one precise attack with no work beforehand so they are at the lowest preparation level.
Restricting their coms and picking them off(stun) one/two at once stealthy if possible, getting a lot of stuff, blowing up their manufacturing capabilities.
Few ideas
masquerading as Security firm people to get inside without taking much attention, while cutting of communication.
I can blow up whatever is needed
Have a few neuro-stunt grenades, could try to take them out with them, but I am a terrible throw, so i would have to get close.
Please...structure your post, using my TODO as the quote, comment each step. Or it would be great chaozzz..
Sorry if Im pushy, but i just want to keep things clear and transparent. It would help everyone.
B&E strucktural proposal:
A)Communication Block/jamming whole compound/facility
B)using stealth to get access to the premises without breaking in
C)taking them out by surprise
full text: I propose that the break in is stealth based so cutting Communication would be essential, or the beginning at least, i could use my skill to disguise some of us as officers of the security firm, i could get a group of then by luring them in close quarter and using a neurostunt grenade. And sniper could take care of anyone who tries to flee or get help from outside.
What will be a target? I believe you're quite capable of entering the facility - with a little luck to do so without raising an alarm. But what will you do then? What exactly will you do inside?
Do not underestimate the guards - they are professional security. So I think you should plan it well. Especially that you will probably have to repeat the stunt.
0100 AM means I had my tires and suspension changed, I got some sleep and Im back at Sams HQ...and I refuelled my SpyEye at leas one more time, jut for sure.
@GM: Just by the look, is there any strong radio transmiter around there? Antena, radio or WiFi transponder or something like that?
Okay, my thought on the action.
Fractal will be probing their node, trying to hack his way into the system. Once there, he will if the more interesting approach will be to create a backdoor or a hidden account for the time he will enter the node again during the infiltration procedure.
All the while, he will be waiting for his contacts to tell him how much the gear he is asking them for would cost (probably I will make a more complete buying checklist, we will see). As he will be working his way into the node, he will be connected, so any change of the plan may be send to him.
After that, he will get some time to sleep. I'm assuming we will invade next night. If we are thinking of doing it now, them Fractal can haste things up, so let me know.
On a side note, I thing contact with Gangers would be more interesting after the first entering. So I'm not thinking a lot about it now.
Probing is a Hacking + Exploit Extended Test with a threshold
equal to the target’s System + Firewall. The interval of the test is 1 hour
if done in VR, 1 day if done by AR. Once you reach the threshold, you
have found a crack in the system’s defenses that you can exploit to gain
access. You do not automatically gain access; you have found the chink
in the armor, but have not used it yet. These exploits do not remain
forever, and can be removed if found by the node’s security or if the
node is rebooted. As long as it remains in the node, you may use a Log
On action to use your hacked account. This process grants you a user
account. If you want a security account, increase the threshold by +3;
for an admin account increase it by +6.
The target node gets one free Analyze + Firewall (hacker’s Stealth)
Test when you first log on with the hacked account. If the node detects
you, an alert is triggered (Alerts, p. 238).

If it doesnt have signal more than 6 it doesnt matter, I was thinking about a little abuse of it for the jamming-on-the-fly :)
well, that is my commlinks range. At least we are able to hack it from the distance, since mutual signal range must be maintained for hacking...

I wake up 8 hours after finishing the data search, when is that?

Just for precaution, I'm also doing a first Matrix Perception Test as soon as I get on the node:
Matrix Perception Test (8 dice pool) - 2 successes, no glitches (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2997178/)
6am then
You've finished research by 10:00 PM so you should wake up about 6:00 AM. if you take 8 hours sleep.
My dicepool for this action is 12 dice. I will be doing this in VR, so the interval is 1 hour per test.
My Stealth rating is 6.
After one hour (12 dice) - 5 successes - no glitches (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2997170/)
After two hours (11 dice) - another 6 successes - no glitches (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2997171/)
So, after two hours, I'm in their node. Fast and [I hope] gracefull - Fractal's Style.

I assume you go for user account?
This is a list of possible pieces of information you can ask about icons and
nodes when you use Matrix Perception. It is a representative list, but not an
exhaustive one.
• Access ID of a user or independent agent
• Alert status of node
• Edit date of a file
• Function of a control icon
• Hidden access to another node
• Matrix damage taken by icon
• Presence of a data bomb
• Programs run by persona or agent
• Rating of one Matrix attribute
• Type (file, user, agent, program type, etc.)
• Whether a file or node is encrypted
• Whether a Trace is running

If they don't detect your log on action
Well, even if they do. The only thing is that I may disconnect after that.
But let's be a little optimistic at once, people!
There are several options I see from the above.
0. if Sam is going to sneak to the Calico position with some food make an infiltration roll
2. breaking into - when? what do you prepare first if anything?

What are you willing to check with that Matrix perception? You have two choices. (and here if you want to make additional rolls get penalties for consecutive tries).
can we block their Communications?
this is very important, for me at least.
Braking into:
A) Getting into trough the second gate, picking the lock if possible, as I have been seen, the disguise option is not for me, but Fractal and others could get in that [Puebsec personal] way [possibly, not sure, correct me in that, but i thing with a disguise modiffer Fractals Con should get them in], they could do sabotage from the inside, like asking to be stationed in the security control centre
B) [ my thinking] taking out big amounts of guards could be done using odourless and colourless Stungas, as far as we know they they have no protection against that. if they see a sleeping guard on the ground, and no danger what would they do first? if they check up the guard they too will get knocked out so it would make for a good ambush weapon, if they are with no coms, visual traps we could make them jump into gas clouds.
C)My built in radar will give me real time Locations of people moving around at the cost of -2 modifer to all actions that need attention, so could use it while sneaking around the compound to avoid guards most of the time, [need camera layout-drone footage or security grid plan, to see them.]
D) I would intend to blow up their convener belt, servers, supplies, or anything else I can get my explosives on, right amount and places to do it without bringing the roof down should make no problems, helpfully.

I think the Matrix test was a redundant one. It's just that in the last game I played the GM always asked us a Matrix Perception Test when entering a new node, so that he could tell us our "first impression" based on the result.
Did I got access with a security or a used account? I will post just after knowing that (difference in time passed and privileges at the node are of utmost importance now).

Can you let me in?
I seriously suggest reading the chapter "hacker tricks" in unwired before making new accounts.

Could you be more specific? I've just scanned the chapter, but found nothing relating to creating user accounts :(

Yes. Well...Maybe...at least those who are close enought :) With their node it should be much better, we will stop the message before it leaves out. I didnt find any other hiden node, and there is no other powerfull signal source, so Im assuming (and that may be dangerous) that Guards are using factory node for comunications. SI hadnt catched their outgoing call to PuebSec, but Im only able ti intercept wirless comuniation in the nodes Im close to, so the guard to guard it should be, but otherwise not. Right now.

Ill wait outside, I will be of no use once inside, and there is no chance I should get my van there without breaking the fence and thus being shot at. Not that Im afraid of that, but still...Ill just wait for you to pick you up.

I`m not sure, succesfull breaking means that guards didnt even notice you and there is no need of alarming them by using gas on them..If they found you, that is the other thing, but I would prefere if you can get in, set the charges, steal the goodies, call me, Ill break the fence, pick you up at some fire exit and gtfo...if you would not be able to walk away unnoticed completely

What about timing of explosions? This would be great hit and ater that their security would go up 10 times. Are you able to hide charges good enought so the should be KABOOMed later?
In fact, I can show our driver the exploit I used, since I probed the target (at least, Unwired says I may do so for a while). It does not appear to me as a good choice of action, but I may. Creating some new accounts and hiding them seem way more interesting.
But a question:
By Unwired rules, I may create a legit Account with a Software + Editing test, as I have security clearance. If I haven't, it would be a Hacking + Edit (2) test. Even though not having a security account would theoretically be more difficult, Fractal is more used to do things the wrong way (or, game-mechanically speaking, I have no Software skill and my hacking skill is enough for me to think it would be best if I had not the security account). So, what I'm wanting to ask is if I can take the test as if I haven't the security privilege, since it will benefit me at the time. Also, Unwired states this rules for creating an user account. For a security level access, we should raise it to 3, and for admin to 4. The thing is: this is for the hacking test (user without security privileges) or for the software test (security access or better)?
I will (I will post something IC before that, don't you freak) try to create this accounts, but I wanted them to be security or admin access. I just didn't really understand the rules for this. Someone can give its interpretation and clarify the question?
Sentinemodo, creeating user accounts is at the subitem backdoors, pg. 97.

Hell, that databomb scarries me. I cannot do anything with it. But...I think Ill leave this for Hackers, looking for peripheral devices and nodes:

okay guys, sounds good. With my char. incompeteance not even going to pretend to know anything about hacking or electronics. I do think we need to go sabotage something quickly. In the meen time i'm thinking of doing some astral patrols of the area. What do ya'll think?I think that sabotage will just bite us in the butt, we will just have sent them a warning. We should gather information, disruptions in the matrix can be caused later too, but how many tries do you get from surviving a bullet between the eyes?
Ahh...but from the node Im not looking for wifi connections but for All connections, if wired, it doesnt make the difference, once Im in...and I may even be able to turn them on :)
p.s. would be interesting if they have a central air conditioning where i could put the gas in, kinda easier to distribute

Forget it :)
By the way. Good job Fractal you got yourself an legit and hidden admin account in addition to the hacked security one you are using. I liked the way you posted, so consider that edge replenished.
This is very good, I think we all should learn a lot about hacking...I must sy Im always a bit dizzy when it comes to that :o
not meant to be pissing you off, but Signal and Response 6? that would need 2x restricted gear quality, both mods are at availability 12??? Sorry I just didnt find your character for the reference so I wanted to ask...Omar would deffinitely would want something like that if it is possible and you have contacts... Parts would be enought, I should do the work by myself... :)
srry :P
Ok, now Omar can be at the node too, without needing to hack into it. But the Big Brother account is mine, MINE! ;D
OH God Im totally confused now :)The roll was to recall yourself that you've seen (visually, during the first passing by) the camera near the security shack.
What? when? for the visual perception? Since Im in FullVR most of the time I should use Vehicle sensors...so Ill be rolling this one if its needed...yet, my Rover is parked at Sam`s HQ :)
Now...you are saying that none of their assemb,i line or Supplies list is connected to their Central node??? well, this must be some kind of Steampunk factory :)
Well more I see, more I sense a trap or decoy...
I would vote on the options that we have someone in the matrix doing survielence work, looking for alarms to be triggered and such and also corrupt a few critical files. while a group of us enter the facility under the cover of Spirits and plant a few small bombs along with stealing some loot and then have a spirit come and do major structural damage to a building / assembly line. If we wanted could still have a group of gangers outside spraying graffettti and such, not anything that would draw action by security forces, but definitely enough to distract them.
Omar trying to sneak somewhere, even if disguised, may be fun. Id rather wait outside to take you up, while you should plant some buggies on their wired machinery to get us in some node that really matters. What we have een till now in the matrix is nothing but the decoy...decoy in the minefield...So Ill cover your infiltration and possibly create some security distraction on the other side of the factory using forged messages and Spoofed id`s.

just a proposal, an alternative to going in guns blazing and hopeing we will surrvive to tell about it. ;D
just kidding, you had a good plan too.
kinda small activity here the last few days. hope we still have all of us playing.
p.s. would it be possible to cut the connection off at PubSec, as we do not see how it is made at this end?

Those on the node should look for the panic buttons and disable them
So if you have any idea for what we should disguise, we can start to do this, painting the van and acquiring the morphing plate would take some time
(Fuck that hang out to dry, I cant even use my Blackmarket pipeline, until I find that supplier, ive been cut off by CC departure)
SMaybe we may create some distraction and mask for the company who is doing this kind of repairs...any ideas, Denver citizens? I dont know much of local wiremen/plumber/...whatever...
well it feels like a lot of fight...Im not sure if they are manufacturing Armor piercing gel rounds somewhere, because we will need them to shot the PuebSec in the car. But maybe im too militaristic :)
We may be able to do that by Magic ... or something else.
So its an option...still, do we want to fuck with PuebSec?

If all goes well we will not need to fight them, just intercept their comunications, and place a responder. And tech cars do not need to be stolen, we can make ours look like one as it is not an operative veilche
you under value a taser, it is a potent non lethat weopon, - half ap and chance of one hit kill[stun]
Well, we can always come with a more "social maneuver" situation.
I'm thinking something like this: some of us go there as a security consultance firm that was hired to evaluate and improve their security procedures. Well, 'course the end workers would know about them, since this would put a difficulty in evaluating them well. We fast talk them to let us in (as we were "really" contracted by RMD, they even made an account for us to use once there) and to let one of their guards to accompany us in a perimeter stroll and during our node security checks. This guard we will need to put them and impersonate in the 'trix for everything to run smoothly, but our abilities got it covered. This way, we can direct some security procedures in some way, and calling PuebSec would be seem as inability to deal themselves with any problem (as our consultants would be too self-imporant and would love to intimidate our poor guards with their jobs being on the line in their reports). Of course, I'm assuming we can be succesfull in a crazy operation; but it's worth a try.
Just saying, I'm also not a competent fighter, but all my most ineffective guns are tasers... So no dead bodies will come from my action.
I said that I should make my van looks like almost anything. But someone was talking about intercepting Pueb Sec on their way here...or did I understand it wrong?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I wasnt able to tap their security call. Maybe it is wired (my bet is on this) because I was picking almost everything in the air except this one. So I assume existence of hard wired security node inside the facility with spider or someone else called "Billy" on it...
well I vote for direct infiltration and planting bugs, if anyone is able to do it...
well, I first would appreciate that we are carrefull...but we need to do something now...
Well...we may have the gang prepared to intercept them on the road if something goes wrong...no kills, just harrasement...???

Dress up in delivery clothes. Buy a cake. Fill with narcojet. Find on work roster someone not there that day, edit his DOB on the roster. deliver birthday cake, take inside.cake, mmm want some ;D
Social Fu into cake being spread around.
nom nom, snore snore
cake, mmm want some ;D
but we can't be sure that all the guards get some, at the same time.

I've seen this done on a run before, you just need a good enough face to get them in the room
Oh god. Why dont we just stun/knock uncounsciousness guards at the gate, enter the facility while feed their automated response to the system, hack their nodes, get the data, blow some things up, stuning anyone who came around, and GTFO before Puebsec arrives, I bet I can outrun them if needed with my car...or at least disable them long enought for us to disappear. Before they get the facility back to the OK, we should disrupt their logistic...and then something else...even if I have to break the fence vith the rover this would be better than sitting, talking while time is running out...
You want stealthy? Just do it. Tel me how and what you need me to do, and roll. Cross thge fence, infiltrate the facility by water, sewers, air, whatever. be my guest. just do something ;)
I think I may be able to do something about my drone to be able to use it this way...
GM wrote that we may be able to contact some gangs. Anyone is going to try that? In fact PuebSec response was 5 minutes. Lot of time....but using the gang should make it even better.
This game really starts to slow down so, we could just come with a plan and get it going.
Well...we may have the gang prepared to intercept them on the road if something goes wrong...no kills, just harrasement...???

I guess that the way it goes. You may choose one from the list selected. Any particular? I'll make the IC post, you think out what you want them to do actually or you leave it to them.

*without being detected if possible ;D
I thought about using the gang to slow down PuebSec rsponse.Not a option for me. They have seen my face. Someone else typiques could, will help with mask.
But AsOmar has a Jammer, will it jam any com or just wireless?
wireless

I applaud to that. And since the node is behind barrier, we are not able to do this without physicaly entering facility. once we have this done, we have all the time we need to do our distraction.
What about infiltrating using some of employes ID? Do we have any info on them? I remember some datasearch aton this topic?

Netz. did I told you already about delivery time of the goods you ordered so far? if no, they could be by 6:00 PM. (I don't want to go into detailed goods fencing rolls :/)
Omar. if they have a wired line to the PuebSec then you cannot jamm it on either end. You need to physically access it on either end or cut the line in the middle (the latter will be spotted during any most routine communication check). The closest PuebSec precinct house is at Lakewood district between Kipling and Simm Streets, which is about 15 minutes to the west from them RMD location.

cutting the line is on option but placing a filter on it, that delays and scrambles specific words on the fly with a delay of a few milisecs for analysis and scramble would do the trick and reinforce the need of technicians on the ground for repairs
From the looks of the distance their HQ is, they are using Mobile units, so the 5 min reaction is a flimsy one. could be 10, and could be 2 depending on where the patrol is at the moment.
I tell you what. Im not going to mess with fucking Indians. We get in, intercept the comunication and disable RMD to send the HELP request to PuebSec. If we dont manage to do it in time, we would need that gang on the highway to intercept puebsec cars on their way here and give us more time. If they send LAV, we are fucked up and we would need to GTFO ASAP. Undestood? We have problems with infiltrating low profile security area, I wont complicate it by trying to mess with the national security agency.Ok, fine by me, just When we infiltrate this low sec production facility and its actually a front for a high sec secret lab
Consider PuebSec out of options.
- the physical cameras are on the security shack and on the loading dock driveways (you found them using radar, further into the facility the scan was made by Riker, so you're not able to deiced if there were any) - there are no matrix nodes accessible for those cameras (or at least Omar, wasn't able to find them from the outside),
Will Omar be able to find cameras and tag them for me with his drone?
P.s. will taser shots count as standard pistol shots or silenced or, maybe, something in the middle?
Different GM's different rules. ;D

So lets take some emloy and interogate him for some insider info...or some soc-fu maybe meeting him in the pub or something? Fractal, would you be able to do it?
Then, if he is not killed in the process, he is not cassaulty if I drop him out in front of the hospital once we are finished with him :)
Playground is yours. Im there by a whistle, if needed...anyone of us ;)
Any other (more sensible and sound) ideas?
Something that's possible:
To intercept the supplier truck driver, had him interrogated (by the forceful means or by stealthier means- Fractal may try to meet the man in a more social situation or we may try to kidnap him. This way, we have a truck... probably a truck that will send some guards after us, but a truck), discover some inside info and cutting their supplies. Any idea of how? I have thought of something, but it's so crazy that it's bound to fail...
Which is not saying that I'm not going to say.
Let's suppose they receive their supplies at the same moment all the days. We could try to intercept the before next day arrival at RMD (I imagine Omar driving by it's side while Fractal tries to convince via window or via wireless that he can sense the driver is about to SURGE and needs to stop so they can help them...). Then it's all aboard the truck, we could sabotage the materials even before they arrive, and once inside could do some disrupting there...
Any other (more sensible and sound) ideas?
Hey!!! You are talking stealing the truck? Hell I want to do this!!! Fully loaded, off course... :)
- you don't know where exactly is a security console
- you don't know where exactly is a security console
Any intelligent guesses on that?
Give me an update on the Laes cig's and I will look at the map in the meantime.
can you paste some reference? or point me to a book page? availability/cost?Laés Cigarette
or go ahead make and Edge + Edge (1) roll. on success you'll have it tonight - double the book price.

questionsI would like Fractal to Intercept and Interrogate a guard to give us the ground knowledge before we enter, we could help on that, preferably a gourd on a duty where he has not to make a Physical appearance in a longer period.
- whats the role of Fractal in Act I
a) he could go in and use social-fu in case of meeting with guards
b) he could wait outside with Omar and make Matrix overwatch adn make social-fu diversion during infiltrate exit
- how you plan to enter the facility?Levitate, or jump over from a nearby building if possible,
a) breaking through the fence
b) breaking through security shack
c) breaking through the trucks gate
- what kind of damage/theft/disruptions to the production will be made[I am for blowing it up in the first infiltration if they discover the bugs we are screwed, so I would end it there, leaving the bugs just in case they recover very fast.]
There is still time for some extra legwork. Just form a question or at least area. You have lots of contacts to use.My idea
And uy could be safer and more cost efficient to use them then to kidnap and interrogate.
Riker do not have levitate but have invisibility he told so but I don't think it was clear enough. I understand you will go through truck gate. There is a camera. How will you bypass that? Riker can make you invisible but the gate being open can't be hidden that way.
plan forming continues:
Act I - infiltrate
1. perimeter over watch - Omar in the car nearby, communication jamming/spoofing, Riker in astral
2. Sam will go inside shwoing the way for Cursor (for close matrix calls) and Calico (in case of troubles)
- primary target - security console - block B, small compartment, get in, remove guards, block the panic buttons
- secondary target - implant bugs to gain matrix entrance on the second mission
- third target - physical damage/destruction/theft
3. Sam leads the team out
4. in case anything go wrong the gang will provide distraction for the incoming PuebSec forces.
Act II - delivery takeover
1. find the truck routes
2. stop / takeover vehicle (using gang as well?)
3. hide the loot/clear the truck
Act III - matrix diversion
1. using the entrnaces made already and using bugs placed in Act I
2. hack the assembly node and watch how the nuyens burn in chaos

As I see it, Fractal may also go inside, as he can help with 'trix quest (disabling and troubling security, stealing files and programs, planting false evidences [remember that Fractal's specialty is editing files, so he could make false cam recordings and this kind of tampering]). Alternatively, he could try to distract the guards in some way (passing himself as some authority, making false calls from their homes, etc...). Both alternatives are good, and he would be willing to go.as i see it we can see that they are paroling alone, we just need to find one who is not in camera view or who is going home, take him out most likely luring him out ant then taesering him.
The way I see, it would be important to try to create confusion in the signs of the tampering we will made. It would be more difficult for them to understand what really happened, and to answer to it. So, our working (destroying the equipment, stealing files, stealing supplies, changing passcodes, etc...) will be more efficient this way (if they have to concern themselves with internal sabotage, then they will need to work to cure an internal problem while restoring their production line; divide their attention, then conquer!).
My idea of it.
Getting info from a guard can be useful, but I still haven't thought of any good plan to do it in a safe way...

sorry, but just my thought's, I would like to have all the help inside, i would even go as far as to get me + 4 man squad to take the whole place, destroy the whole security archive, and wipe all memories of Fractal, but it looks we want to do it the sneaky way.
As my character has done it before, Should have at least, he should know where to find some birds, they are not that rare, but its up to the GM
stun a bird, smash the camera, leave the bird - no problem, changing it will take some time so we could get in easy.

no prob if he sees us, he will forget it ever happened
not sure how well will fractal be able to interrogate him as an face, mind-probe would come in handy here. but he is able to make the check-ins if we take the paroling one.
Just thinking:
AS fractal is pretty unique in looks it would be not good to bring him inside the facility to make him safe from spotting. most of us are not as easy to identify as Fractal is.

Answering Sentinemodo's question, the info we want to get from inside involves where could we find the security console, where or who the passcodes to the system can be obtained, if the info we already have is true... things that probably can only be discovered from someone who works there.
As my character has done it before, Should have at least, he should know where to find some birds, they are not that rare, but its up to the GM

Good thinking and possible. you've got any knowledge skill around that, or you want to use a frozen duck? Failing that it will take few hours probably calling Tabby again to make her call some of her Indian friends plus 200 nuyen for the trouble

We are doing it at the water - Harbour I think,
just ask our sniper to take one down with a gel shot. ;D
I could sneak up on one and taser it
Don't think that it is that Difficult, is it?
The frozen duck thing, do not believe that a dead bird would work.
would you explain how did you think that would work?
true, a spec op mission would have been the ideal idea for me, Swat team with non-lethal ammo + i would try to lure them into ambushes all the time. taking out com first priority, so the guard interrogation would need to yield the location of the centre!sorry, but just my thought's, I would like to have all the help inside, i would even go as far as to get me + 4 man squad to take the whole place, destroy the whole security archive, and wipe all memories of Fractal, but it looks we want to do it the sneaky way.Actually, you never said you want to do it sneaky way, only make sure no one get hurt lethaly. This are difficult, but this are not exactly opposite goals.
Sorry guys Im on the bussiness trip to germany, Ill be able to post at tuesday evening.So we will do the job preparation while you get some sleep, will that work?

snip..plan forming continues:
reference for work
Theft, damage, destruction to inventory and equipment - do whatever it takes to disrupt their operation. Three constraints on that however. First. It is very important that structural damage to the buildings must be avoided. Further, the must be no environmental damage to the land or ground water. Lastly lethal force against personnel during this operation is prohibited.
[not just on second mission, as since we gain it I may search where the security console is, and may act while you are still there]sweet, some nice thinking there ;D
- fourth target - plant false info in the nodes (security footage, blueprints, personnel reports; things that generate internal suspicion or wrong ideas in working procedures)
- fifth target - why not reprogramming the two security drones that we may find there (the ones Nissan sent to the facility) to create some more confusion, like make them destroy things so that everything may seem like a sabotage from Nissan itself? Just brainstorming (if not, they could be taken and sold, probably in pieces).
I agree in part with Sam. But still, impeding one day of supplies in a week long operation seem relatively good to me.i never said it would be no use, just that I see no point on going for the truck, it's a small fish in comparison with things we could do and the risk is high, at least higher then because we can't control the environment we do this.
Again, I agree with Sam. But, again, I would not discard the possibility of hacking it afterwards. There's too much about the mission we don't know about, and we still don't know about their "healing factor". Maybe they can relocate machinery from another facility to keep things running (improbable, but still possible). Let us go for destroying everything, but if time turns it too difficult, hacking will have to do.moving production lines, if that's no disruption I don't know what is except ruining the company.
Possible Act IV - Gang SupportNot a big Gang idea fan, sorry
1. Giving gangers a motive to target the facility in the following days of our operation (since it's even more difficulty to deal with two problems than with one) - A motive could be something planted inside during Act I or Act III;
Possible Act V - Information guerrillaThat's a very good idea, we could start wit a simple message - something bad will happen if the workers in RMD do not get a 50% pay rise. ect. I see the management and workers turning on each other.
1. Passing the word that RMD is wormed with internal saboteurs (specially among potential costumers and shareholders);
2. Spamming Public misinformation ("Free Maria Mercurial Concert at RMD Facility, today at 9 PM")
3. Spamming misinformation among RMD workers ("Due to sabotage suspicions, all operations are cancelled until further notice. Enjoy your free time with your family. Unless you are one of the filthy saboteurs: our dogs are chasing you right now, scum" - as an official communication to all workers!)
4. False Alarms - ("There's another bomb at the facility, and it will explode in two hours if ours request are not fulfilled." - any hate or terror group can sign it).
Now do you still want to go to see the gang leader or we move further?
Fractal, if you want to contact the RMD employee or the guard, make an IC post about it.
Sam, Omar, Cursor, Calico, Riker is there anything you want to know or want to do prior to the run?
Fractal is a social magi, so you can expect his dice pool to be really interesting: all of them are 12+, in some situations getting as high as 19 dice.
Intimidation is my worst case scenario, specially if done by distance, and still 12, without any edge. About the intimidation weapon issue, probably Calico could lend something (if she feels like it), and if the "victim" is not in a capable defensive position (tied or something like that) you could always lie that you have some really nasty poison to inject in it...
All rigth. I see that you don't want to meet the gang. That's all right. What do you do then?Looks like I will support Fractal on his Intel gathering, with the understanding, if he fails in his polite way, we try it my way after that, OK?
My idea now:I will support it any way you like it, in this job, the disguise should be no problem, and i roll 9 dice on any soc task and can add edge if needed.
In some way pass as Stuffer Shack offering a reward of "months greatest custumer" and make a call to Erik Fjordson, in the process getting his voice sample. Maybe going to his house to offer him a prize (that's a moment where we can kidnap him and interrogate if wanted...). If his voice sample and probably his Commlink adress, them I have all I need to pass myself as him, maybe even requesting info from the lesser employees as an evaluation of their work, or ordering tasks.
Do the others think of something else?
I am on the phone now. If you want fast answer paste the suit description here.
Chameleon Suit: A full body suit made from ruthenium polymers
supported by a sensor suite that scans the surroundings and replicates
the images at the proper perspectives, providing the wearer with
chameleon abilities. Apply a –4 dice pool modifier to Perception Tests
to see the wearer. Also armored for additional protection.
Act II - delivery takeover
1. find the truck routes
2. stop / takeover vehicle (using gang as well?)
3. hide the loot/clear the truck
unnecessary, we could just easy could rob the stuffer shack, as it is just the delivery that comes every night it would not be that important. if we keep robbing it then maybe, but there should be a more effective way to stop them from coming, but if it's more from the loot, then I am up for a bank job ;D
MAYBE ENGINE PARTS???

the loot could be just an extra payment for you, with it's own risks attached.
anyway the truck on itselft is worth 40-60k nuyen, plus its cargo more or less the same (raw materials less, finished products more). this is the kind of money that can hurt and this are on top of the costs of halting production.
Hmm. That's not the way I would have normally allow it to work.here my argument:
The suit plays with light not with the fabric. And it is smooth without pockets for example. Anyway it seems that I have already allowed it during your previous stunt so let's go ahead with that. you can use it. Just bear in mind that on closer inspection (less than few meters) this can be onarced. You'll get only two dives bonus for that.
Second Skin Line: Th e Second Skin line provides protection,
comfort, and style for open-minded people. Th ese bodysuits
leave little to the imagination, since they consist of transparent or
opaque skintight ballistic polylatex and sculpted densiplast. Each
bodysuit must be custom-tailored for its wearer. The bodysuits are
also available with a transparent ruthenium polymer coating to
change the opaque parts of the suit instantly via the user’s PAN or
to allow it to display signs and slogans (+1,000¥).
Ruthenium Fibers
Ruthenium polymers undergo a color change with the application of a small voltaic charge. The charge alters the polymer's chemical composition, allowing it to shift between a wide spectrum of hues. Since these polymers are also very durable and can be applied in layers of less than about .1 micron thick, they can be put on virtually any surface without any appreciable loss of flexibility or function. This makes ruthenium polymers useful for chameleon cloaking technology.
A chameleon effect can be achieved by combining ruthenium polymers and imaging scanners. The scanners view the
surrounding environment and send the data through an imaging processor. The processed data is then fed to the ruthenium polymer surface so that the surface mimics the color and image of whatever is around it. At least four imaging scanners, strategically placed to receive full surround information, are required for the effect. More scanners give cleaner and more "correct" images. The imaging processors are quick enough to cloak a walking person, but they are unable to shift fast enough to cloak running people or moving vehicles.
To achieve a cloaking effect, the entire object must be covered with ruthenium. A metahuman can manage this by wearing a ruthenium-covered cloak or body suit. When activated, the target numbers needed to perceive such a cloaked object are increased by 4. For each extra scanner beyond four, add 1 to the final target number for detection.
The maximum modifier attainable is +12. Ruthenium systems are powered by gel packs with 10 hours' duration; new packs cost 50 nuyen. Ruthenium that covers a vehicle can be powered by the vehicle's power supply.
Radar, thermographic and ultrasonic systems are not affected by the ruthenium's cloaking effect. This means that dwarfs and trolls, ultrasound-using characters and vehicle sensors reduce the target number modifiers of the ruthenium by half, rounding down. Ruthenium is only effective on stationary or slow-moving targets (6 meters or less a Combat Turn). If a character or vehicle is moving faster, reduce the Perception modifier by 1 for each extra 2 meters/Turn. Exceptionally fast characters or vehicles will likely be more obvious (-2 Perception modifier), as the
ruthenium rapidly switches colors in an attempt to keep up with the landscape.
snip...do you think that this truck is part of the plant?, then why does the car leave after he made the delivery?
Well there seems to be some people who dont realize that :)
as far as i can see we would just hinder one delivery, and there would be no monetary loses to RMD
snip...do you think that this truck is part of the plant?, then why does the car leave after he made the delivery?

I would say that it's a delivery firm, and putting it out of business is not our objective. :P
as far as i can see we would just hinder one delivery, and there would be no monetary loses to RMD, except if they run out of parts and had to halt production, but as you said yourself, they keep stock for one day ahead at least. so no gain, or do you wanna block deliveries every day?
Kour, you can use the suit to look like gang colors, or stuffershack suit. You can paint whatever you like. The problem is that the real suit will have pockets, belts, other things, that will be painted on you (true with keeping all the light effect necessary for 3D perception).got it.
The differnece is that when you want to be unnoticed, people see past you and omit small details (-4 to perception, when using the chanmelleon suit for invisibility). When they actually see you, and you move, they have higher chance for spotting the difference between normal suit and something you're wearing (-2 perception). That's not obvious to understand, and may give you another 3 seconds to react during their surpise (you can boost that effect with additional sensors along the above rules, just make half the rate you'll get for imitating clothes).

Oh, lord...
The cargo is what interrests me...the truck itself i can break to parts, but the cargo is very interesting for me...almost dfor sure some parts they are not assmbling in thios facility, or material or whatever...but it seems that there is enought of it for whjole day...and even if they are using the truck to transport their goods
(That would not be difficult to recognize:
Stream playback: truck entering / leaving -
compare Wheel load...)
it is a good price money...

No. I seems that you ignore the fact, that both: stealing parts or completed day production, is a huge hit to the facility. So it is also part of our goal.how would they feel the pain of no parts if we destroy their Production line? ???
Am I able to recognize him on the Playback? What/where is his car, GM?

You can recognize him. Having his info, you're able to find his picture, and by that to recognize him when he enter the faciity. He come today around 10 AM.do we know where he lives, and with whom or alone?
Single speed car, no guards.
He is single as far as you can tell (that doesn't mean he isn't in a relationship), and you have his commlink number (public node information) but that is an office number.so if we want to know where he lives we need to do a data search?

You have his address already (see Netz IC summary post)
I'm still thinking about meeting the guy in a bar, but if I am compelled to do the house infiltration I probably can handle its security system. Just waiting for the other to manifest themselves IC, and then I will make a call to Erik's office.just keeping the back door open, no worries.
By the way, how is the bar where Sam works? Is it possible to have a private room there, for the meeting?
Is my Fine Cuisine 1 or Denver Nighthouses 1 skills enough for Fractal to produce a local that meet the criteria of the plan's place? Do I know some restaurant/bar/cafe that fits our needs?

/ stooping him on the way seems a bit problematic, at least I do not think we have a secure opportunity to do so, we could ambush him at home, if he lives alone or maybe even if not, non-lethal is my speciality after all.
@Sentinemodo:
1. Do we have any info on Hephaestus? Is it just a transport, or is it Manufacturing company?
2. I was asking about the load of trucks, please keep adding this information to every one of them...
Using a different voice (still one that would not be very difficult to imagine coming out of his own larynx), mixing a very soft Cantonese accent and talking a calm, soft but firm speech, Fractal calls Erik Fjordson, office number, as presented in the manager Curriculum Vitae.
"I'd like to talk to Mr. Fjordson. He would also like to hear from me."
A friendly woman voice greeted you with a young nice looking blonde on visual. Good day sir, can I ask your name and business?
Okay.
Well, I know there's no way that I may roll +3 from my Tailored Pheromones, since this is a fone call, but I'm not sure about Glamour (it's a strange quality, so it may or may not apply to the situation - I'm rolling two dice pools, one counting ir and another without it, then you choose).
8 (Charisma) + 4 (Con) + 1 (Vocal Range Enhancer) - 2 (situational modifiers) = 11 dice

He toke his ride to the adress, parking a block away, takeing the walk around the house, scanning for nodes etc.
A picturesque view of the street. Small houses. The nodes on the address were hidden. Standard sculpture. Small spam activity. Kids and domestic drones a plenty. Good cars on the streets.
On the minus side. PuebSec patrols every 15 minutes or more often. Several autonomous bots on patrol scanning every PAN. Going around on hidden mode atracted attention immediatelly, and you had to hit the acceleration and disappear to avoid detailed questioning.
Before you leave you managed to spot a 35+ woman coming out from the house.Quote from: OCCFirewall 4 System 4. Analyzing IC on patrol.
@Sentinemodo:
1. Do we have any info on Hephaestus? Is it just a transport, or is it Manufacturing company?
2. I was asking about the load of trucks, please keep adding this information to every one of them...
1. simple query -> incoming trucks are branded with manufacturing companies logos
2. judging from the distance is difficult - you can tell if they are wires or cylindircals, but what they are exactly and what is their worth, would require tapping into their information systems.
Id say that infiltrating this area is much more difficult than crossing the fence + avoiding some detectors in RMD.No planing at all, just asking if these drones do Ultrasound or not, visual and Audio I should have covered
I dont want another 14 days planning for this, please? ;)

IMHO: Paying him a visit in his home in the midle of secured neighborhood: Pointless / RiskyJust strolling around a bit, recording readings, layouts, persons and they Cyberlevel, we may need to come here later, and if i can do it undetected it would not hurt, if i have to show myself, then i would think a bit.
Would i be able to infiltrate? or are the drones using ultrasound?
I didnt want to know exact kind of load, just to know if truck is loaded on enter or on leave - transport in / out? Judging by wheel load (wheel weight)!

OK So You can look datastreams for this woman Ive seen leaving his house...maybe Ericksons bitch or something...and maybe something completely different...
just stating my intent clear, making my question. and omar would know if those drones would have ultra sound as standard issue.IMHO: Paying him a visit in his home in the midle of secured neighborhood: Pointless / RiskyJust strolling around a bit, recording readings, layouts, persons and they Cyberlevel, we may need to come here later, and if i can do it undetected it would not hurt, if i have to show myself, then i would think a bit.
You're not there. If you want to know that make an IC post.
Make another Con roll please.
the modifiers are as follow:
-1 Eric is an obvious figure of authority here, very no nonsense man
-1 he would be annoyed to meet you
-2 Eric is prejudiced toward unknown source calls
Eric roll Negotiations(2) + Charisma(4) -> 6d6.hits(5)=1
Target is 3.

I'd really like Eric to listen to me, so Edge will go on this roll.
So here we go:
Charisma (8) + Con (4) + Glamour (3) + Vocal Range Enhancer (1) - situational modifiers (4) + Edge (4) = 16 dices
16 dice pool (exploding 6s) = 8 successes, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3022419/)
Could have done it without spending Edge, but better safe than sorry.
WOW, seems like a total :)
Radar is standard issue in vehicle package, so I assume aerial drones have it also. If they are overequipped with something else, and there is no way to find it without intercepting theirs signal. Which, unfortunate, woks only if Im close to the source...and since they started to swarm around me as soon as I showed up there, that is not the case. I consider them to be extremely suspicious fo non registered inhabitants.

Sam arranged table. Your supplies (laes among that most importantly) have arrived slightly before the time.
All of you positioned themselves around the place. Calico, Riker and Cursor at the table inside. Omar in the van outside. Sam and Fractal inside in the small private room.
About 19:30 drone reported that Fjordson car left the facility. Heading straight for the bar. Erik came assisted by two CSS guards.
Pity that we did not asked for Laes wine. It would be more "fitting" to the play we are staging, but I think we can do it anyway.
So, let's do the did.
Sam will prepare the Laes as a High end Cig's leaving one untainted in the case. When the meeting is about to end Fractal can take the dummy one and suggest Eric to take one, in case he takes the guard inside the meeting them too. if we need they to forget Fractals face or the meeting
Yup, the ones we got from Johnson at the beginning. I'm just considering also the initial money after character creation (I made the dice roll in one of the first OOC posts).OK...so Im 350 now...hell I didnt even rolled for stating cache..but that would be a few yens. Consider this 350 to be in the pool for this mission, if needed.

Don't know yet - paste a reference :)
Exceeding the Condition Monitor
When the total number of boxes in a damage track (Physical or Stun) are
filled in, and damage still remains to be applied, one of two things happens:
• If the damage is Stun, it carries over into the Physical damage track.
For example, if a character with a Stun Condition Monitor of 11
boxes who has already taken 6 boxes takes another 8-box Stun hit,
that character’s player would fill in the last 5 boxes in the Stun
damage track, and then fill in 3 boxes in the Physical damage track.
If the character has already taken damage in the Physical damage
track, treat the excess Stun damage as additional Physical damage
and add it to the existing damage. When Stun damage overflows
in this manner, the character also falls unconscious; he or she does
not regain consciousness until some of the Stun damage is healed
and removed from the Stun damage track. See Healing, p. 252.

I meant reference for neurostun :D
Neuro-Stun
Vector: Contact, Inhalation
Speed: 1 Combat Turn
Penetration: 0
Power: 10
Effect: Disorientation, Stun Damage
This colorless and odorless knockout gas is used for emergencycontainment
conditions. Neuro-Stun comes in different concentrations.
Some become inert after only 10 minutes of contact with the
air; others become inert after only 1 minute. Wind and other environmental
conditions may disperse the gas more quickly.
On the separate thread I'd like to talk a bit on how we have handled this, cause they way we did it wasn't fun.
I am thinking on introducing NPC in future runs, to facilitate discussion and inject ideas.So you could tweak the plan but do not have to come up with one. I don't know however if this doesn't take too much from you.

Just for you all to know:
Probably I won't be able to post this weekend, so I'm mute until monday.
yes, the damage will overflow, you will need to make a dose small enough to dissipate after selected number of turns or take him out.
Fractal will never sign up for this I bet, so I am dropping this Idea.
@Sen
Surprise attack in Eric is still Effective, and I could be in the room in the shadow infiltration + 4 perception penalty, if I do not move I could be there and use my taser with chameleon coating as well
Would this work? I think it should.

I'm still here, I haven't travelled yet.
Well, we could try the gas chamber idea. We just have to take the bodies of the room as soon as they fall. Both me and Sam have gas masks, so I think it's possible, though, not a lot subtle.
If it becomes necessary to shoot Eric, I have a Taser in my coat. I may leave it on my lap, and can shoot him from under the table. I guess it woulnd't be very noticeable. My taser has an smartlink system, a good camera in it and is skinlinked, so I can literally look though it's aim during the talk (I am wearing the glasses that can show my the view from the camera point of view), and even if we jam the place the trick would still work.
What do you think of it?
Well, so tasers will have to do, if the situation calls for it.Yes they will, let's just hope we can get the guards wait outside.
Oh at least someone with Defuse :)
If it is possible, use that Security account we have to do the job. Decrypt wont be any problem afer this...at least when there is no IC...but it still should be honeypot node

(3CT, while Im able to do something else...)
All right Mr. Cathay. What's the matter? Erik sits sizing up Fractal. He failed to see Sam in the corner or at least seems not to notice him.
I forgot about that. Edited already. But make an infiltration roll.Urban infiltration (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3025047/)

Data Bomb programs create a specialized form of reactive executable
in a file or node, called a data bomb (note the difference in capitalization:
Data Bomb is the program, whereas a data bomb is the executable
set by the program). A data bomb is attached to a specific file or
node and set to activate if someone accesses the file or node without
authorization. When triggered, a data bomb “explodes” and attempts
to crash the icon that accessed the file or node. Data bombs may also
be instructed to erase the file or crash the node, if the owner chooses.
Data bombs are set with the Set Data Bomb action (p. 231).
Only one data bomb may be attached to a particular file or device.
You can detect a data bomb with a successful Matrix Perception Test.
You can defuse a data bomb simply by entering the correct passcode.
Without the passcode, you can only disable a detected data
bomb with a successful Disarm Data Bomb action (p. 231). When it
“detonates,” a data bomb inflicts a number of boxes of Matrix damage
equal to (rating x 1D6), then the data bomb is deleted.

How do I create an account?
An excellent idea. :) But for that you'd need to be subscribed to the node. We can assume you're based upon previous discussion on sharing the software load, but that would require you to use both hacked account. And I remember Fractal did not shared his admin credentials. you may hack in the fly now, or wait for Cursor create another account for you.
One last thing, how does white noise generator affect your communications with Fractal/Sam?
White Noise Generator: This devices creates a field of random
noise, masking the sounds within its area. All Perception Tests to overhear
a conversation within 10 meters of a white noise generator receive
a negative dice pool modifier equal to the generator’s rating. If more
than one generator is in use, only count the highest rating.

I would like to keep violence to a minimum while in the club, but if he does not bite on this I will get him on the floor.
I assume I can move in front of the door without being noticed, i would not take massive neg. modifiers for that? ???
EDIT:
It would be even better if Omar could hack the Pilot program of the Westwind and drive it to a deserted place where we could have a chat. attach the jammer or somthing, to stop him getting help

Thanks, Sen.
Well, Mr. Erik gave Sam his cue, so let's get dangerous. Action Time!
Fractal will leave the man to Sam Taser, but will get his in hand as he expect the bodyguards to enter the room next. But, most importantly, he will try to hack Erik's commlink on the fly, if this is possible.
Sam, don't worry about the possible silent bar struggle, your charismatic man will talk to security latter.
Follow with an attack roll at the same time. You'll be going first with no defence rolls.So no supprise ambush roll for initative?
1. please copy the rolls in this format 1st shoot Agility 5 + Pistols[tasers] 6 (11d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3028880/)k will do
that way I can see the results even from the blackberry (mobile version of the forum doesn't show links to external sites)
2. you forgot about bunch of the dices +2 dice from muscle toner +2 smartlink +2 target in point blank range. I'll roll that for you: 6d6.hits(5)=2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3028917/)
the first hit connect anyway
The damage is 6S + net hits over first 2 = 8S
Resisted with Body (4) + half armor round up (3/2 = 2) -> 6d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3028950/)
Damage done 7S
Stun effect resistance(3) Test
Body (4) + Willpower (4) + Half armor (2) - Wound Modifier(2) -> 8d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3028953/)
Succesful, that is Erik is still standing after IP 1 - he has however additional -2 to all rolls due to disorientation.
More to follow.
That was only the first shot.should I do the IC or would you like to?
The second had hit also connected. 6d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3029192/) (additional 6 dices gave you 4th hit).
Damage value 6S + 3 =9S
Erik's damage resistance - 6d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3029194/)
That means 6S in addition to his 7S means 10S and 3P overflow.
He drops stunned.
May I try a hack on the fly action on his Commlink? If I go full VR in hot sim, maybe I can get a message to the his bodyguards in time, so that they also "step out of scene silently"...
will Netz lure them in the room or send them away?
would be nice to know for the IC
will Netz lure them in the room or send them away?
would be nice to know for the IC
I would not come out of stealth just yet. We can give all sort of explanation for Erik being with his face on the ground. He could have just tripped.
About the luring or sending them away, what do you think would be best? Even if I send them away, it would be for us to get them at the parking lot. The way I see it, the best approach is to lure them and incapacitate them in the private room; a silent takedown is still our best friend.
Don't worry, Fractal is not a terrific shooter, but he can aim his taser. Of course, if one of our fighters feel like stepping in, the better...
Kouryuu, hope you don't mind, but I'll do a little tweaking in my IC post about hacking and sending a message (if I succeeded in hacking) in relation to Fractal's actions in your post. Yours will still be accurate, but from a certain perspective.
I'll drop into full VR, hot sim, to hack his commlink on the fly. I'm trying for an user account (to send a message I wouldn't need more than this).
6 (Hacking [exploit]) + 6 (Exploit) + 2 (VR) = Pool of 14 dice, against commlink Firewall.
Hacking on the fly attempt = 14 dice = 4 hits, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3029250/)
Hope his firewall is 4-, if so, I'm in.
Also, his commlink system has a chance to find me (Firewall + Analyze test against my Stealth, which is 6).
Erik's car parked his Eurocar Westwind 3K before the club. Fast scan revealed passive car node and passive commlink node. There are lots of other nodes around, so Omar made sure to tag them so they wouldn't be lost in the crowd. From previous experience seeing the radios on the shoulders of each guard you understand they're using plain radio frequencies for communication, without matrix connection.
Oh, that's really an ill turn of events for Fractal. He is no combatant, and specially not a virtual fighter.
Here's his initiative: 6 (Response) + 4 (Intuition) + 1 = 11; but, as it my first initiative test in this combat, I only use half of it (Combat paralysis) = 6
6d6 = 1 hit, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3030018/)
Initiative for the first combat round = 6 + 1 = 7
Guess I will need to hope to sustain some punishment...
If Fractal receive an attack (or is not attacked at all) from any source other than an ICE program, he will just log off. If attacked by an ICE Program, he will try crashing the program (or spoofing it if it's a limited version). As a last resort, he can always try to crash the node
Wasn't Omar jamming this?
That's why I ask. You're 3 seconds since the first shot. There was no noise to alert anybody outside.
But the info can reach the bar security rather soon.
Searching the guy will take time (3 sec to reach him, unless it is Sam who be doing it, 3 sec to search).
All of you (as a team) are aware of the situation.
What do you do?
Riker? Cursor? Omar? Sam? Fractal?
yeah i did catch up on that after posting, but the q is a valid one in the IC too, Sam's no Hacker, but still a smart jammer might have been used to jam specificity his com, and not any unknown, or i might be mistaken on thatWasn't Omar jamming this?
Had he been jamming the bar, you wouldn't be able to communicate wirelessly, and a lot more attention would have been raised already.

First thing removing the darts , so fractal can try to claim that Eric just fell over hit his head, Con them i mean.
and if it does not work I will have to disable my collages :-\
if the link is not a large one i can take it too and hide it under my suite, but it would need to search the body, the darts is a must for me at least, not likely they will have ultrasound in this place
Chrona, that bomb - is it rating 5 but fake, or is it rating 5 and armed? you don't know the original passphrase. You you can set the bomb, but it will set off by the first person trying to use the console.

Or just press on tonight before they reinforce themselves and use the lack of command.
So I propose this. Laes this Eric, strip him of all his posessions, maybe providing him with some false ID or passport (Lets hope someone is able to steal some credstick on the street)No real point to that, as the Laes cigs i bought are for short term memory, he would forget the meeting with Fractal, but not that he had brackfast in a motel because his wife threw him out of his house. ;D the second part just to make the time clear
Take him to the Bullet train station, seat him to the train to wherever...New york would be fine for example, and send him on the long trip.
Lets do this before they began to search for him...
There is the risk that we will need to transport him to the train...and the stations are well protected and there will be a enought eyes to make the new moon shine.
Then lets use the distraction to enter the facility by any means necessary. do the damage and get away.
Ill enter the node we hacked before it goes red, plant my own bomb there set for deleting the log file when acessed. Ill use new encryption for whole node, so it should take some time to break it...and I will change those data the way Chrona proposed: Deleting, altering data. We should also provide our account to the Matrix community...with all Email adresses found in the database-massivce spam attacks , multiple hacking attempts that would cover our initial activity...
Forget about landline, forget about puebsec. Forget about guards for the moment and their advantage etc.So you storming the place with me. Nice good thinking on the all out attack plan, you can always get the car remotely that's way you got the rigger adaptation in your rover right?
So yes, I'm not content about how things developed.yeah most of are not, but the planing is done, it will not take a month to interrogate 2 man, we can do it in 2 days.
So yes, I'm not content about how things developed.yeah most of are not, but the planing is done, it will not take a month to interrogate 2 man, we can do it in 2 days.
so far we have done:
Hacking - Dead end, at least for now
Con - Not Working, reverted a disaster just by luck
Infiltration - Next on the list
Full assault - Worst for the last
No one in particular is responsible that the planing took so ling, mostly the indecisiveness of the team as a whole is to blame.
Well. Just to calm things down a bit: Im not proposing full scale assault. Im proposing simple actions. I dont know what you do for living. Im industry process engineer. And i know that there is a Law of nature, that says, that the more complicated plans/equipement/machinery/information systems are, the higher is the risk of failure. So lets move forward by simple steps. We always have an Eye up front, so you`ll never enter any area totally blind and unprepared.Yep the simple solution is the best, but we are not making complicated plans, we are gathering info for a simple plan, there is no point in going in if we do not have a clue where we have to go. i just need a target so i know the point a point be and can plot the rout from a to b without taking out more guards then necessary. Keeping Cursos and fractal safe will be a pain too, cuz i think their infiltration is next to none, comparing to me.
I want some news from my Eye feed first...any movement on the RMD.
And Im deffinitely NOT taking that motherfucker to any firm location, the very last option is one of our safehouses...
We will stay on the road and in the move, before we think out what is the next step.
Because our Soc-fu goal was to get the entrance to the facility without the risk.
Now this was EPIC FAIL !!!
*Happy dance time*Quote from: Freddy Mercury"No time for losers, 'cause we are the champions... of the world!"
Sweet!
You think so? Well you was afraid of infiltration before...you must shit your panties trying to imagine entering the facility now.
No time for loosers...that part is about us. How long it should take to find Eric by magical means? By spirits? if a single one is looking, ...how much...4-5 hours? With whole fucking RMD scrambled, maybe reinforced?
Well this is fucked up situation.
Our soc-fu is obviously not working... how long it takes to break that bar owner to get a trace on Sam?
You call this success?
We hack is comm, have it send a message that he's heading home himself, then thats he is off ill for the week, sam bribes the bartender, we set the personnel lists to mark him as on sick leave
Good. Now, from my experience, since they outsource security to some company, CEO will probably give us nothing usable.That's exactly my thoughts about the CEO, but he might tell us the layout. hopefully
But with your radar, we have some good map to work with.
I dont know if it is necessary to get in with the charatcers who are not able of infiltration..Calico and Sam should be enought, we dont need more people inside, do we?
Or just press on tonight before they reinforce themselves and use the lack of command.
That is almost our only option.
Wel...Boss leaves the facility for meeting with some strange people he never met before. Althought usually he is traveling alone, he takes two guards for this opportunity.
Then he leaves them alone...and they leave him without even seeing him face to face to confitrm his OK state when they are leaving him.
LOL
We bribe the bartender...lets say 500Y.
Then PuebSec comes. Says that they have the real hight suspicion about the Erics dissapearance and that they want full cooperation on this case...well...it is a question of a enterprise permit ect.
LOL
The hacker is in the building D.
We were not able to detect his node due to WiFi inhibiting materials...we were planning infiltration to get the link on "insner" matrix...
Well now we are able to atack him in Matrix combat.
LOL
@Sent..: So...is there a possibility that it will be rainy night today???
So yes, I'm not content about how things developed.yeah most of are not, but the planing is done, it will not take a month to interrogate 2 man, we can do it in 2 days.
so far we have done:
Hacking - Dead end, at least for now
Con - Not Working, reverted a disaster just by luck
Infiltration - Next on the list
Full assault - Worst for the last
[quote
No one in particular is responsible that the planing took so ling, mostly the indecisiveness of the team as a whole is to blame.
Yep the simple solution is the best, but we are not making complicated plans, we are gathering info for a simple plan, there is no point in going in if we do not have a clue where we have to go. i just need a target so i know the point a point be and can plot the rout from a to b without taking out more guards then necessary. Keeping Cursos and fractal safe will be a pain too, cuz i think their infiltration is next to none, comparing to me.
That's exactly my thoughts about the CEO, but he might tell us the layout. hopefully
the radar works in real time, i can get the location of any guard in the radius of it, so it is a big help not only while preparing.
Not sure it is actual at the moment cuz Cursor punched trough the Data bomb, but if we need some hacking they might come in handy
P.s. RL am am writing my Master degree in MicroBiology, that means I always have to do the research to make some statement to be true, so i might be inclined to do the Intel thing a bit more carefully then others, but I know what I need and I go for it, not a truck with supplies or the CEO, I just need someone to tell me the layout and where what is in the base so i can get in plant explosives disable their sec. and get out. You stealing a truck from them would be a good diversion, but it should never take priority.
banging the sec center isn't the goal - banging the assembly machinery would be (but for that it would be good to have the sec center disabled)It is at least for me, to cover our tracks and reduce their defensive capabilities or even just to take their attention away from the machinery so no one gets killed while detonating the prod. line.
Done :)I am grateful for the Karma, just do not think that it's fair, as me and Natz had to do the meet and the others had to wait and see. You could say hat Sichr has showed great activity too
I think I've responded to all.
if there is anything I've omitted that you want me comment upon, let me know.
Now. We've hopefully passed over that painfully long planning stage. The base for current events is 4 Karma for each of you. Sichr, Kour and Netz get additional 2 points of Karma for impressive activity.

the activity wasn't for the meeting with Erik only but for the combined IC & OOC activity
and I gave Sichr karma :)
Bioware is no problem. I don't think there's a piece of bioware that can be used for long distance communication or as a mean of finding someone.
EDIT: Ryker has a Force 6 Magical Lodge. Probably it would be the best place to hide Erik.

the scan i did was not only to check for tracking, but also to see if he has some surprises in store for us, like muscle augmentation, or other bioware who could take us by surprise just like we did him.
Everyone of you is European? That's really curious.Sorry to every resident of the USA, but Being a Brazilian might actually be better then just American.
I am an American (unfortunately, people usually call Americans just people in the USA; I'm a Brazilian, though).
@Sent: Our inability to take action is never your fault. Thanx for the karma, well Id stay in game even without it. For me, its cyberpunkers heaven :)you had a valid reason to do so, just we reacted different to the same situation, no offence taken and no smiting done, cuz you always just expressed your view on the situation, and never did something offending.
And with the action done, you may reconsider lowering the number of playyers in next missions, because with experiences and coordination the speed will improve. I mean, players needs to test their characters to see what they are capable of, and with the confidence it runs smoothly. At least I hope so :)
Now, sorry if Id been a bit harsh, I've got a half year evaluation and there is always a little stress in things like that :)
P.S. And good luck with microbiology!! ;DThanks
Now...it is friday so Im leaving and Ill reply when I sober...or worse...when I return from the beer evening...oh hell, since we are all europeans, we may et some meeting sometimes :)Benelux is not the Direction that I would call close, but we could anyway get together someday
Im visiting Gütersloh in Germany atr least once a month, and it quite close to lands of Benelux :)
You'd need to go to Germany via Poland to meet me.Yeah i still got it good, poor Netz crossing the Atlantic that's problematic.
ALl right - make an IC post plus intimidate roll, I'll give you modifiers based upon the post.
ALl right - make an IC post plus intimidate roll, I'll give you modifiers based upon the post.
Ok, here goes the roll:
8 (Charisma) + 3 (Tailored Pheromones) + 1 (Vocal Range enhancer) - 1 (Defaulting) = 11 dice pool = 4 hits, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3033812/)

@Fractal: Lets not forget that part about the family protection. seems like we didnt heard that part before when asking around.
trying to remember if he knows some Mafia activity in this region.
That is an interesting question - In this biz, a big mouth is the number one cause of cement poisoning. But you seem to recall that the Chavez family has an interest in the plant here. It might be RMD's. But to be sure, you'd need to confirm that with some Mafia related contact.
Shall I do another roll, with penalty for reattempting a test?

if you have any further questions he is cooperative
signal device in the security centerhas the signal device some back up power source without the generator?
okay, we got alot of info. there. obvisously we need to take out the signal tower and back up generator. Or meybe we could just sabotage the transmitter itself so that it can't transmit. That way we wouldn't have to worry about power and back ups. Riker is prepare to wait in astral in case the mage security guy comes up to see whats going on.
As you said Riker could focus on invisibility and concealment, maybe on going in astral, materializing withing the security center and taking them out somehow.do you have spirits that do stun damage? that would be perfect. if we can take out that room without them noticing.
As for materializing - yes, unless successful perception roll is made, materializing counts as ambush.and how many can he command on the assault there are 4 guards in that building, best case taking out all of them before they can get their weapons out, i could take out one on ambush and maybe one in the first IP
As for usage of Riker's spirits - I leave it to him.
Why don't we just lock him up for a week?
Why don't we just lock him up for a week?
I would agree, if you know some safe place?
@Sent: I understand that you dont have exact answer for everything Ive asked in IC. I would be sattisfied if he gave me general info and should we agree, that based on this Im able to recognize best places for sabotage in three crucial ways:
Assembly process
Equipement
Logistics

Is there any reference on the cost of magical services? If no, it'll cost you 500 nuyen per spell + 250 nuyen for mage astral arrival to the location (500 for in meat arrival). He or she will be available next day at any point during 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Ill be anywhere with eric in meat in half an hour, with 500 Y prepared. I think that the fact he was lying us about his relationship with Johnson might be leading to many conclusions, one of them is that they prepared the trap together.
It aways come in this triad:
Trap
Bait
Game
and I want to be sure Im nor game, nor bait.
If this is the first time we will do something possibly useless on my initiative, ill take that with clear conscience.
And, it will not slow us down, because if you dont get caught tonight, we dont have a problem.
About hiding Eric. Just FYI:
Search: Magic + Intuition(-concealement force, - barrier rating force) (5, 10 minutes/+distance(kilometers)
So we need at best Barriere 5-6, +force 5-6 spirits concealement. to keep him hidden for more than few hours.
Im riding to Sams apartement first and then close to shack near RMD.
Eric is left there with Rykers concealemet or anything else...
Everyone is packed.
Are you guys ready to go in?

good point about the trap, if it's true I will cover your share of this, just to be thankful, but we need move fast, getting the Mage at midnight will be defiantly more expensive then 500 for him to come to us in the morning.
So - Should I wait for the infiltration post or should I make your life more interesting? *evil grin*
remember, that with your radar, you are ambe to se hardwired lines also...you should be able to cut-off the security center before entering it...or doing this simultaneously...
I can Jam on the fly, I dont have Jammer. And it wont be effective neither when Im so far away. I may use the flying drone`s node to do that, I suppose.
But Im not going inside with you, if you count on that. No reason, and no gain, since Ill be inside the barriere and not able co communicate with my car in there...
FYI How high is the Camera?
look like going with the Bow is best if it's to far out of reach, but the dart is what makes me worry, it might get stuck or fall on the other side of the fence, Does Cursor have non-piercing Darts?
A pity, guess will have to use my taser as a club and just smack it a few times, place the bird and make a disappearance, then lead one of you inside.FYI How high is the Camera?

No
Just an answer for my question and possibly we should be able to provide cover from matrix. Otherwise Im ready...And do you want to take my Jupiter taser club? Like I say, it should be used for pistol ranges, no wires....
I thought so. Guess I was wrong.
Just an answer for my question and possibly we should be able to provide cover from matrix. Otherwise Im ready...And do you want to take my Jupiter taser club? Like I say, it should be used for pistol ranges, no wires....
then again, this walkie talkies wont be tooo strong, and I should land close to the guard with my minidrone and use its node to jam. it is weaker, but it should work.
Youp, no worries. I was just reading Unwired to see if there is some way around. Well, I think that All I need to do is to program drone to Jamm on the fly and then stop after some seconds later. How long would you need, Sam?lot more then few seconds, the idea was to take a jammer that would block any radio communication around us so if sommons runs into us or we do some sound we can eliminate the threat before they can send out a comm, so i can not plan these things ahead, nor can i set a defiant time.
OK just leave communications to me;)
In any case, the drone is so big...you will need at leas pocket for it :)
Idea is...even with jammer, we will ot be able to jamm whole facility.
Fractal, Im able to bridge the signal to the security node. Would you try Exploit on that node?
and databombed - Erik has told you so.
Fractal, Im able to bridge the signal to the security node. Would you try Exploit on that node?
Sure can. The only problem is that probably the programs in it will be encrypted, but I think you can decrypt, am I right? So, there's you, me and Cursor to go.
infiltration + activating the suite

OK just leave communications to me;)

The idea is to be able to take them out without them having the possibility to notify the Sec centre, not being spotted is nice, but we might get in a situation where we have to pass someone in a corridor, or get pushed in a corner without them knowing we are there, the jammer would come in play here for taking them out, not leaving them the chance to warn others.
rememeber the jamming isn't an silent thing. it is impossible to communicate, but it isn't something that won't be noticed. jamming the entire facility, while taking out the possibility to communicate, will automatically set the entire guards unit on alert.
Guard perception roll: Intuition(3) + Perception (2) + actively looking (3) - good cover(4) @ taget (5) 4d6.hits(5)=3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3041308/)Any how you forgot the -4 for the suit, at least i did not see them. so even no cover would have been fine :P
good roll by the way. I wonder if she wouldn't spot Sam hadn't he had that cover.
Ill npc Calico. Cursor can hack the node. That's why he goes in methinks. And he can handle that crossbow well also.

Sorry it took so long for the IC post, and as far as i understand that the -4 is a perception dice pool modifier so it is not included in the infiltration roll at all.
The padlock requires agility + locksmith skill or a strength + strength (2) test depending on the method you want to use. Crowbar give automatic success.
Make an IC description on where you want to move as you pass it.
I could try hacking through Omar drone, but running on a response 3 node means my Exploit and also my Stealth would be truly low. I don't know (not with the books right now) if a Technomancer has the same problem, so I will wait for Cursors answer... Or maybe I should try following them inside (risky, but can be done...)You can come in when we control the emergency line, but 2 extra people is just too much of a group, too easy to spot and Our mage support had too much magic to sustain so better not coming, at least it's how I see it.
I've reread the rules on bridging. The response reduction occurs only if you use anonymizers. There is no cost if you use drones for establishing a link to low signal nodes.
So once you lower that drone below 50 meters you should be able to establish the link and try to find the node.
I'll go ahead and tell you that you've been able to find it (it is running Stealth 5 and is in hidden mode)
Whoever is trying to hack it, please make a matrix perception test.
outside in the in rain you'd benefits from suit would be -2 instead of -4 (it will mimick the rain drops, much like anything else, just not fast enough) - but there will be a another -2 or so due to impaired visibility. (so not net result possibly better hiding effect).So I change the first priority to generator and Elec line, while Cursor gets ready. Sam got worked up by having to wait. ;D
If you get wet however and go inside you'll get -2 instead of -4 because you wouldn't be able to mask the rain drops you already have on yourself.
IC pleasethat's getting really tiresome, while carrieing the explosives they will be visible right or putting on the Combat west will be visible too or will it be under the suite?
I didn't get you're query about forcing over them, though.
A question doesn't hurt though, as I havent heard form them in a while. JDA, Chrona, you still in the game?Not sure about JDA but Chrona is active just do not post here if she has no time for it, but in the Messy Biz she works hard as a GM
Chrona is a male ;) (got me too some months ago)
As for the Chrona I don't know. He is a lot less active then in our previous games. Either he:
- lost interest because most hacking is done by Sichr and Netz
- lost interest because that planning phase got him bored
- he finally understood what lousy GM I am and decided to stop wasting time
- GM'ing absorbes him, and he can't invest any more time.
The node is sculpted similiarly as the assembly node. although the sculpting is more aggresive (only graphically) sharper endings, dangeorsous look, pieces moving faster, etc..
You identify that the node is encrypted and that the system is running firewall (rating 5) and that it is supported by the analyze program (rating 5).
Omar is able to pierce through the encryption in notime for you (rating 5 also).
btw. that van of yours Sichr must look like a coffin wagon. If riker is also in astral there are three bodies in coma (full VR or else)
Okay, I will try to hack the node. Going for a security account (Threshold is Firewall + 3, so I need an 8), spending Edge.
6 (Hacking[exploit]) + 6 (Exploit) + 2 (VR) + 4 (Edge) = 18 = 4 hits, no glitch (almost, still) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3043507/)
If they do not find me yet, I go for another one, no Edge this time:
6 (Hacking[exploit]) + 6 (Exploit) + 2 (VR) = 14 dice pool = 6 hits, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3043510/)
In the second pass, I'm in.
And the node had two chances to sound an alarm... rolling 10 dices, against my Stealth 6
Creating a security account:nice touch there.
It's a Hacking + Edit test with a threshold of 3. As I've got a dicepool of 12 (Hacking 4 + Edit 6 + VR 2), I can buy the 3 needed hits.
It's login is EFjord and the password is skaldceo, and I will not hide it if not needed.
Kour, as you recall from the tact pictures, approaching from the vehicle gate, you can either appear on the tact map around the warehouse building near the small building containing the sec center or on the opposite site. close to the assembly building. Please make that clear in your post. I'll make an update to the tact picture with your locations as soon as I'll have the details.
Just completed school exams and all. Got on and see were in the run. Sent. Thanks for npcing riled, I should be able to take it from here. Busy semester finally over.
I assume it is not wired so start going in
Logic 3+Autopicker R6 - Defaulting 1
Buying 2 hits on picking Lock
Moving around the perimeter avoiding getting near a guards on patrol to 20m or more, going the less lively way to check how well the way to the generator is protected, and by default trying to get to the Electricity lines - the best spot would be the place where it goes into the facility.

It isn't the electircity lines goes into the assembly building (shorter side, near the small building).
They are slaved to the nodes. Security owns battery one and asembly the large one.
Confused a bit???bout what?
Well, guys, about the metahuman persona approaching the van:
Fractal can change to AR, and pretend everyone there just choose a nice place to enjoy their BTLs... With it's security personnel, it will probably work, as they have nothing to fear about them. If they don't buy, we can always shoot them shocked with our handy taser guns (and no one said it was a good idea coming to a suspicious van alone). Ideas?
We need to defuse that bomb. Sent, could you please NPC Cursor for us?Cursor/Chrona is online daily, no need to npc.

My van has a Signature maskin 6. Anyne would be able to notice thet we are inside...and if he do, Ill take care about that. Focus on your tasks.
Finally an updated tact map
black dots represent guards, grey dots represent civilians.
How many charges do you have?all 0f mine 20 kg are in the car, but with me i have taken enough for 3 explosions + one for any thing
How will they be detonated (radio or timer?) You need to pass by the guard sitting at the entrance of the building to set the charges on the wall. But as long as you're not running you won't be spotted. Make a roll on demolitions. You need to score three hits or better to have amount of explosives that you want. On each hit less, you'll either overcharge or undercharge by 20% (random). what level of damage you want the guard inside to receive? - if you say 10P and score three hits on demolition that is what they'll resist. if you score 2 hits they'll get 12P or 8P.I am not going for damage, would be good to do only knock-down at first until we either destroy the sec cent or hold it
Do you wait for Cursor's hack?yes I do, but monitoring him if something goes wrong we storm the SecCen, spirit materializing inside thing.
just a thought
Would destroying the Com console give out a alert or not even if no one operates it?
P.s. was tired and forgot to explain how I will detonate them
if it is not hard add some timed detonators as well, Sam uses both at the same time so if the Radio one's got jammed or hacked the timed ones still go up, the hacking is the reason why he did not get the 2 in 1 package. the timed detonator would be hidden inside the plastic itself. it would be set for a much longer period then the run, so we where safe it would not go up in our faces.

This is silly thoughts. We are sitting inside normally parked vehicle. Engine off. Polarized windows. Im getting feed from my sensors in VR, its just another window, and since Im present in the Cars node, I have no problem with seeing what is going on. if osmething happens, I will react.

Kour - that's up to you - you have that with yourself (now a much better suicide bomber) or you left it under Erik's chair?QuoteAnd since Chrona is obviously online all the time, he didnt responded...and we know about that databomb for about four days?
Here is this situation:
Kouryu who is posting like SMG, walls of text, lot of actions, without waiting for other players to take their part, and oposite, players, who are silent for two weeks.
GM would have to do something about it.
All we have now is
Rover "safely" parked outside RMD perimeter with 4 bodies
Broken RMD security camera
Sam inside the RMD perimeter
Opened gate to RMD
FlySpy drone in mutual range with Security node
Hacked security account in Security node, where the databomb is also
some guards names
it is raining
did I missed something?
When will they detonate? (a week, a day?)

Well, you would need to ask for it first and Ill say NO!Where do i get a place to store them, and bring them to the compund, is it not a bit selfish? the explosives are safe wityout the detonators, you can burn them shoot them and hit them and they will not go off.

One clarification. There are three bodies in van. Cursor invisible is with Sam.And one more thing, we are defiantly standing at the wall that is rigged to explode, around the corner at least.
Ok. Cursor is at your previous position. And you can be there in one initiative phase or so. You've just finished rigging the wall.If we blow it and come in right after the shock wave it still count as surprise attack or something like that?

As far as i know we will need a lot of a bang if we want to destroy not only the assambly line but the crane and everyelse on the list you put togheter, and i am sorry for not taking may whole stash inside, it would really make a stealthi sneaking carriereing that much stuff

So you think that you will start to blow things up, then I enter with my van to bring you more explosives? Are you crazy?
We had to set explosives on machines, crane, assembly line and GTFO. We would be penalized if you damage any building.
YOU are meant to be infiltrator, arent you? Get in, place explosives, get out without being seen, blow the exlplosives from safe distance. To cover your approach, we had hacked Security node and with more Matrix actions we will create more chaos in their logistics etc. That all.
OMG what was those months of planning for if we start to blow things up now?

So i get myself some cover around the corner of the SecCentere and blow the fuse both so there are two explosions to confuse then
if i am to initate combat, there is no point in still pretending we can do this stealthy at the moment
Ok, that's I understand, but how this opened normally when you're not inside?Omar, I need one clarification on your van - how it is locked? Maglock, proximity RFID, physical key, wifi only?
Its locked by me inside.
RAV it has Anti theft system 2. Means 10S Electricity when he tries to open the doors. On my command.

Imagine this is Cursor or Calico speaking.
Hold your horses. Nobody have yet discovered you. Until the have Cursor traced there is no point in pressing panic buttons (where to send the team?). Take care of that guard around you as silently as possible and allow 'trix boys do their job.

is the door closed the one with the guard? at the sec centre?
The Guard approaching Sam, slowed down. Might have been a shadow cast sideways or a lighting that reflected on something giving a glimpse he haven't fully understand, and the suit was unable to respond to in split second of the flash.did I have to be in Combat, has he a location assuming he still can be surprised if I act fast but silently
He took out the gun. Who's there? He wiped out the water from his face with a left hand, and slowly walk between the buildings.
did I have to be in Combat, has he a location assuming he still can be surprised if I act fast but silentlyHe is alerted, but with a distraction, you still could get a surprise.
are there some stones or other small things on the ground?

That's the oldest trick in the world, ya know? ;)
A question to you guys, how should the tasers work in rain? Any experience from previous games?
You can make an attack roll anyway - I assume you make a shot regardless of the result. I'll wait with the resolve however for rest of the initiatives.
about elec water things: you are the GM for a reason

Omar, Netz.
any ideas on how to take over the security node without killing the hacker? Cursor can attack, have some sprites to help if needed. Hacker hasn't yet found either Fractal or him. He knows that something is up but don't know what yet.
Cursor plan is to:
a) activate the drones and hand them over to Omar (edit priviledges on drones - two complex actions)
b) open all maglocks (complex action)
c) crash the node with maglocks open.
it would be good to have some help in any of the above
Kour. You would have to ask Johnson about it.
Is there anything I can do to help Sam? Seems like the guard evaded my drones sensors ?if i got the jump on him he has soak 10S damage on the first shoot alone so i think he will be down, but we will see.
If there is a metal plate on the construction near by, I would fly my drone to almost land, sliding its gear for two meters or so against the metal plate, then fly away.
You know this kind of noise...brrrr :o
Jump in:
rig + booster(5)+Response(3)-defaulting(1)+Handling(1) =8
8d6.hits(5)=2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3048381/)
That would be my first pass.
If there is nothing I can do, Ill wait to login and take my part in the combat...
Whoever from team in the node: Is that hacker hot or cold? If he is cold, we can engage him in matrix combat without risking of killing him...
Id say that johnson meant no damage to any structure, structure I mean buildings. But you are right, that is english puzzle :)
About jumping in I meant Jump in the drone (me, taking control) not jumpuing on his back :) And I was just about to create distractive sound away from you, trying to lure him away. If you are going to tazer him, I wont care about that, focusing for the Matrix instead...
and sorry for my overwatch failure. I should have warned you before he gets so close...No bigie, it was mine too, my Radar was active the whole time giving me a -2 modifer only shuting it down for the arming of the explosives so i dig my own grave.
Netz. To give Omar access you need to slave their nodes to his Commlink. Its routine edit operation but to do under pressure you need an edit test. Also cursor is using a legit account - you're using hacked one on user priviledges. So you need to hack your way through.
Why do we do Combat in ooc?
Did the guard resist the First shoots Elec damage body test? body+willpower(3) i think it was
did he got the time to radio in the attack?
and on a side not i have 3 passes
Did the guard resist the First shoots Elec damage body test? body+willpower(3) i think it was

Electricity Damage from core bookhope i just missed the Electricity damage rolls, but this ammo type is a bitch. with the wound modifier and water the Elec effect should be hard to resist and i might actually just need one shoot and have one simple action to spare for searching or hiding him, but might be that you just rolled like a devil and he really resisted
A wide variety of nonlethal weapons are designed to incapacitate targets with electrical shock attacks, including stun batons, tasers, cyberware shock hands, and similar electrically-charged weapons. These weapons rely on a contact discharge of electricity rather than kinetic energy. Spells and critter powers such as Lightning Bolt and Energy Aura cause similar effects. Electrical damage is treated as Stun damage and resisted with half Impact armor (rounded up)—metallic armor, however, offers no protection. The nonconductive armor upgrade (p. 317) adds its full rating to the armor value. Other factors may modify the target’s damage resistance test at the gamemaster’s choosing, such as lack of grounding (a character flying by levitation spell) or extra conductivity (a character immersed in water). A successful Electricity damage attack can stun and incapacitate the target as well. Th e struck target must make a Body + Willpower (3) Test. Apply half the character’s Impact armor (round down) and any other dice pool modifiers as noted above to this test. If the target fails, he immediately falls and is incapacitated for a number of Combat Turns equal to 2 + net hits scored on the attack test. Even if the target succeeds, he suffers a –2 dice pool modifier to all action tests due to disorientation from the shock for the same period. Incapacitated characters are prone and unable to take any actions. Electronic equipment, vehicles, and drones can also be affected by Electricity damage. They never suffer Stun damage, but they do roll Body + Armor (drones and vehicles) or Armor x 2 (other objects) to resist secondary effects. If they achieve equal or more hits than the attack, they are unaffected. Otherwise, they cease to function for a number of Combat Turns equal to 2 + net hits scored on the attack test (and may need to reboot after that).
searching or hiding him is a complex action. You wouldn't do it anyway.k, just as a notice for the next time, then Electricity is effective way to get a crowd down by surprise.
I'll wait for remaining rolls - Siich maglock roll and Fractal masking roll. Then we'll move onward to IP2

You cannot use single simple actions hold from previous phase. You either hold your entire phase or acted in it.
And you used both actions on shooting regardless of the first roll. Declarations are made per initiative phase not per action. Would you risk shooting only once?

Why shooting someone already out?
Why do needles harm?
Morals? ;D
We may replay that part. you make single roll on hit, I make single roll on resistance, then a roll on pass out. If the guard will not pass out you will have facility wide alert but you also won't do needless harm. Shall we? Hell I can even use the roll that you made - 4 hits. He has almost no chances to pass Body + Willpower (3) Test with the wound modifier.
Sec center is still unaware of any physical threat. Going in with spirit would change that, no?

Are the hacker not there? my mistake then.
was thinking that an attack there would help the guys in 'trix to take over the node, if the hacker gets knocked out outside the 'trix
are there windows? that's something that should be obvious. so no roll needed at least after dark it should be, would they be in full VR would they hear breaking glass if they are VR, if I recall correctly they did not have cyber- eyes; ears so only peripheral sensors right?
The hacker is probably there (or even both of them, and a third somewhere else, or the two that just came might be somewhere else. The need to be within the facility though). However as the hack might occure via the drone bridge, they cannot be sure that you're in the facility. Thus, they'll try to track you down probably before calling for physical guards.
As of now though they think that attack is matrix based only. Taking the hacker out from the real side would be great, but unless you're sure that spirit can take them out before they hit the panic button it is risky. IF you could enter along with the spirit, that would be completely different. You could take down one, the spirit other. But for that you need to pass through one of the guards near the entrances.

taking the Pass key from the Downed guard is the obvious way, just searching for alternatives
We have only 1 security account, so if im to be in the node (and take a part of the combat or whatever action), Ill need to use the same account as Cursor did. RAW it doesnt matter, so Its up to you Sent, if this will raise an alarm or something else.
what kind of a door is it by the guard can you see trough it? is it electric goes it sideways or push/pull?

Again. Code of Laws Update on Corporate facilites dubbed Administrative bullshit Act. All external doors must be outward opening and be allowed to be locked that way in case of fire emergency.
In this case - they are outward opening.
No one is coming your way. Neither on radar nor on drone view.that's for the second pass, so that leaves just looting the man.
Ryker is waiting for my mark to cause confusion in there with his spirit...as we told this in IC i think.that is correct. Going to be at work for a little while, so if you need to npc the call to the spirit thats fine or if you want riker to cast another illusion that I eluded to in the IC thread thats fine just npc roll it. I should be back in about 7 hours.
At the moment going for knocking out the sec centre, the central Security brains so I think that making a another sustaining spell will be stretching you too much that would be -4;-6 something like that, so no real need.Ryker is waiting for my mark to cause confusion in there with his spirit...as we told this in IC i think.that is correct.

Matrix Defense = Response 6 + Firewall 5 + Hotsim 2 = 5 hits, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3048723/)
Not this time, chummer. I'm the digital untouchable man.
Sam
Simple action: Guard search
You found: RFID tagged CSS guard badge, Predator IV w 4 clips, stun baton, Baseball cap with CSS logo, short range radio unit (rating 3). Guard is also wearing Armored Jacket.
Simple action: Grabbing security badge
Free action: Movement - You've pulled him to he side of the wall, and moved close to the door. (all within 10 meters so no problem with range)
if you want to take anything else then guard bagde that would be a simple action per item in your next IP.
Yep, single action and probably surprise as well. It's been easy night so far, and the rain noise on the outside have muted everything.But this time I will defiantly need two shoots or one VERY VERY lucky one,
You can have free and two simple actions or free and a complex one.that's the reason I am not showing myself, better to not showing yourself make a small suspense and go in shooting, then to shoot and hope he is down
Opening the doors is a simple action, so you have time for only for one shot in the same initiative phase.
The node is on alert - this means you need to score 14 hits to crash it. Even with your 14 dices, this will take more than a single blow.
Do yall want me to send the spirit into the controll room. I'm prepared to do it. Will use simple action to ask and then hold action until I get a response.Not yet 3 passes later most likely, would be best if Sam and the spirit hit the Sec Centre together.
How a bout JDA call it now, he'll act on the next Init phase at the earliest. And they could assist Sam with the guard near the doors? (That way you could have another guard down by the end of the next IP.)could work, but i fear that the spirit would not make it in time, materializing is a complex action itself and spirits are not as fast as I or may be even the guard is. He may thou get the ambush so it all depends on how fast he is, cuz i will be able to make just one more shoot and then i will need to relode
I will go ahead and call for the spirit to help with the gaurd and I will use another service for confusion in the controll room. If we are indeed about to get into it, then thats rock and roll. Also, quick astral look to see what the ganger by the van is up to, has he left the area. I will cross my fingers and hope that the spirit is faster than the guard. At this time I'm concentrating on sustaining spells and watching the astral. I will be going out of town tonight and will not be able to post until late tommorrow. I will try to post once more today before I leave.
Never fear, Sichr; Fractal is already on the meat, and if the ork opens the van, by any chance, he will have an eletrifying surprise...
Good to have you back Sichr. How was the trip?oops...
You can set the bomb that way. But if the node crashes it will be rebooted from backup. Your databomb won't be there by then.

And for the trip...Ive by some kind of miracle survived my first RL car crash...hehe, ive been flying with my Peugeot 306 for 10 meters in 110km/h, on the top we may have been 1 meter above the road... landed almost safely, just crashed front case a little, but we are alive and the car still works. Repairs would cost me the bottle and weekend working on it with a friend of mine... beautifull day :)
JDA. Which spIrit and what should iT dO?Is a spirit not an npc?
I think if he said to attack that and that, you as a spirit have to decide what skill to use.
that's as much as I have played it thus far.
Ganger
- apply to the the door's maglock some kind of tool the looks a little bit like the pipe pumping stick (you know rubber ending, wooden hold). The schock that is discharged immediately doesn't seem to have an effect.
The tools is also a car-theft specialized version of the maglock sequencer. Make an opposed roll of maglock rating against his sequencer roll 4d6.hits(5)=2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3048485/).
Maglock: Arsenal says nothing about this, well I have Antitheft system 2 and device rating of the rover is 5
I think that should mean you need 2 net hits, and that the rating of the maglock is equal to devicer rating of the van.
Maglock rating(5) (5d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3050718/)
If he will open the doors, I use my 2.IP free action to jump in the rover
Sam -
simple action: open door
simple action: shoot at guard 11 hits
surprise roll: 7d6.hits(5)=0 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3051751/) no glitch, but considering that Sam would have a +6 to his roll, we can safely assume he is surprise
defense roll: no active defense but he has a Good cover(4 - he is sitting behind a desk) so 4d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3051754/) with a glitch
Damage Value: 6S + 9 -> 15S
Damage resistance: Body(4) + Half impact armor(3) -> 7d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3051760/) glitch that will negate his chances to resist on electricity damage.
that is 10S damage plus 4P overflow
Kour - having more than four hits means critical success. feel free to make an IC post - that was spectacular take down.
hope you get the idea.
The thing is i am on one deadline until the weekend Fri/Sat, so i might not come online for a while, at least not often and just gona leave it up to you,hope you get the idea.
I think I do, but as of now, we'll have to resolve current pass in the node ;)
Omar Cyber defense:
Cybercombat(4)+BlackHammer(5)+Hotsim(2) (11d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3052046/)
Omar will attack one of agents attacking our Crashing Sprite. Hackers are hot and my Blackhammer would kill, so im attacking non living targets. I hope that the sprite does the same. I dont want to loose money :)
Cybercombat(4)+BlackHammer(5)+Hotsim(2) (11d6.hits(5)=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3052055/)
Black Hamm er (Cybercombat) - SR4A pg.233
Black Hammer is a black IC program that samples the command transactions
between the target and his commlink and injects dangerous biofeedback
responses into the target’s simsense interface. These aggravated signals
may overload the target’s neural connections and in turn render him
unconscious or cause death from stroke, heart failure, respiratory paralysis,
aneurysm, or neurotransmitter autotoxicity—and those are just a few of
the possible effects. It is used with the Matrix Attack action (p. 231).
Black Hammer is intended as a weapon against hackers in full VR
using hot sim, causing Physical damage rather than Matrix damage in
cybercombat (p. 237). Against cold sim VR users, it only inflicts Stun
damage. It has no effect on programs, agents, IC, sprites, or AR users.
oops, missed that.
About matrix combat, I read it before posting and i was oposed test...well i didnt read that to the end. Ill roll one more time:

I hope to sucessfully atack as many hacker as possible with Black Hammer. If I understand it right, they may be unable to disconect.
Im saving my free action, because as more than metahuman i can Jum in for free action
I hope I can use this toget out of the node when it crashes to avoid dumpshock. Hackers should be unable to do so when the node crashes, so + physical damage made by Blackhammer they would suffer Dumpshock and that should slow down them a bit. If there is no escape, I should stay with them to keep them in the node with Black Hammer, And then Ill go to Dumpshock with them. I know consequences of such step.
About delayed actions: It is not delayed pass. IMHO you may use free+delay complex, use free and single and delay single etc. :P

There are four persons in the building.

one guard (smartlink + radio) on the opposite side of the building (diagonally)
the sec center room (the one containing actual console, plus transmitter and backup generator) have two guards. One (smartlink+radio) is sitting to the left and one (datajack + commlink) is laying to the right.

They can call from other location, but it'll take them a little longer - panic lines are automaticaly validated, calling through normal procedure, means at least a few combat turns of delay.
gave you the old rolls, just in case, they are still standingone thing to consider, i keep forgetting to ad smartgun = +2 modifier:'(
Edit: Scratch that i also forgot the -2 from the Radar so the roll is OK
but kinda got luck this time, him glitching twice, I mean.
one IC coming up.
P.s. using the Free action to shut down the Radar to give a better shoot next time
For the next pass I could do the same as this time, open door and edge shoot. then I would have to reload, but that's just how it works right, and reloading for me is free+simple so I would get the first shoot of the same time, if needed.
ini for the second CT11d6.hits(5) → [5,1,6,4,5,4,3,3,3,5,2] = (4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3051786/) so the new Ini is 15
Shoot if all goes well
if it's a sec guard with a armour i would use edge
19d6.hitsopen(5,6) → [5,5,[6, 2],5,4,3,3,5,4,5,5,3,4,3,2,2,[6, 6, 4],1,1] = (9) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3051788/)
if it's only 2 hackers then a shoot without edge
15d6.hits(5) → [1,5,1,6,3,3,4,6,3,4,6,4,1,1,1] = (4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3051787/)
the shot goea to the one who is not in the VR and next to the Console, respectively if both are in VR then the next to it if only one them is VR then the one who is not, hope you get the idea.
I thought we have a security account.. I may be mistake...and its too many pages back I wont search for it.
FAQ:
Can I attack multiple targets in Cybercombat?
One more question: Is the security console Peripheral device?
Sam -he can add Reaction i did get only 4 hits 17d6.hits(5) → [1,5,1,2,4,2,5,2,4,2,1,3,3,1,1,6,5] = (4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3053768/)
free action - shutdown radar and move
simple action - open next doors
simple action - shoot with edge on smartlinked guard -> 19d6.hitsopen(5,6) → [5,5,[6, 2],5,4,3,3,5,4,5,5,3,4,3,2,2,[6, 6, 4],1,1] = (9) hits
surprise roll for the guard: 7d6.hits(5)=4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3053741/)
make your own roll: Reaction(7) + Intuition(4) + ambush(6) -> 17 - buying four hits won't be enough
depending on the roll, guard will have possibility to add his reaction to his defense roll - 4 dices, he has no cover (the desk is agaist the wall, not like in the previous case)
probably wouldn't matter 4d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3053745/)
but let say he wasn't surprised Damage Value 6S + 7 -> 13S
damage resistance: 7d6.hits(5)=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3053748/)
12S damage take, 2 overflow into physical -> guard stunned
Please read my last post. We had an agreement with Ryker what to do about the guards. Attacking is bad option. Since the last man standing will push the alarm button...Confusion would affect all of them, giving them ugly modifier for any active rolls and decission making...
Omar: CT2, IP1, Inc13

3. simple action

Sensor(3)+Perception(4)+Hot(2)-2 (7d6.hits(5)=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3054441/)
(Used RAW doberman stats)
As you are all out of combat I assume you will go in building A and start looting after taking care of the guard, Hope Calicio has joined up the rest of the group for the fun, after getting some more explosives from cursor and go in the assembly line to blow it up
Calico is still on the tower.If she cant get a shoot trough the Rain, would she not come in with us at least join us? that would be only logical, and she is the only Samy type, at least the closest we got.
Well...what was the name of her player?If i am not mistaken it was Calicio Cat, but will check on that.
Calico Cat spends at least one day on her two other contacts. The rest of the time is filled with working on her guns and armor and drinking either with Rick or alone. Oh and she sells the guns through Rick during this time as well.
No..I meant Player, not character...Calico CatCodac, and i gave you a quote of his about his character, sorry must have given you a hint about that.
I cant remember...and that is the point...I dont want to step on anyones toes, but assuming that Sent would play half of the team as NPCs is crazy :)
Sam - Hyperactive :)Really? ;D
No..I meant Player, not character...Calico Cat
I cant remember...and that is the point...I dont want to step on anyones toes, but assuming that Sent would play half of the team as NPCs is crazy :)
I can stop the fleeing Ganger. Hell, that's what I was going to do when I got back from the meat, anyway.
Sen, how far has he got fleeing the scene? Can I still open the van door and shoot him with the taser this turn?
Also...what I feel is very strange...we play everything here in OOC, IC is virtually inexistent. I dont understand when/why this happened???
I will drive Rover to RMD, so Fractal can tase that ganger by the way.
I dont think its such an easy think to disappear...but im not going to hunt him down just for fun. I have one IP left, so I Issue command to Rover to start and drive to the RMD gate. If Fractal hits that man, Ill react, otherwise...hm...I dont care...and maybe Ryker may be able to do something...now this is getting us killed right there

We may be sure the hackers have noticed me and the spirit taking out one guy in the Real SR World before the node crushed, so we easily assume we will have some guests in 5 min, but you want to chase down a ganger.
just kidding. If it's on the way go for it, but no long chasing OK.
Sichr would you not have a easier time if you got the help from a weapon specialist to take over the Building before the fun looting starts from the Facility?
@ Sen
if you do not want to keep Calicio around you can just opt to kill her off, cripple her so she will never take part in a job with us, but just ignoring her is no fun
if she survives we might still keep as our weapon fixer
20 meters away is really way off taser range... it's extreme range (-6 modifier) is 16-20m... If Omar drives past him, I will delay and shoot during the pass... And as I'm using an elf (and thus have low-light vision) and am using my googles (who are also equipped with thermographic vision and vision enhancer 3) the darkness penalty will not apply.
Hey, in fact if Omar opens the door remotely (thus saving my simple action), I could just use one action to take aim (with vision magnification, I can make the range be treated as short in place of using a +1 modifier) and shoot him with my other simple action.
I guess it would be safer and faster this way...
@Sam: Last thing I remember about the node before it crashes was that Im planning to shutdown console to disable panic buttons, and with crashed node they surely are. No alrm get out. We still should be hasty.that gives us just 3 CT more according to Sen, as the remaining hackers outside the facility will notice and call the sec on their own.
What do you mean by Weapon specialist help?Calicio Cat, our NPC, who had a nap on her look out while we had some combat.
How many Guards are there still active?Imitating voice is a good idea, but it will take long for all of them to gather,
Do we have that neurostun grenade?
We can use this Billy`s voice to imitate the possible breach, he told them where to go and that he is sending Dobermans also...and when they are all in one place, gas them, taser them, kick them to the head etc. What would you say?
I dont want to go there with my van while they are still walking around...still, if you want some more fun, I will do this, I should be well hidden by the rain.
don't understand the issue with the ganger. a witness... he saw a security vechical park outside. He hasn;t seen any of us. Really i could be wrong, but think he is a distraction thrown to us by the GM. He can't id anybody.I agree, but there are some who do not like to people trying to steel their wheels. ;D
He can't, but his presence here can be a distraction not just for us, and we can make a scenario in which he is the one to be blamed for the intrusion... That's what I intended.
Sen, is opening the van door and stepping outside be a free action? if so, I'm still able to aim and shoot on the same turn, and the van can stay unmoved, which is really safer...
I've already resolved this. Let's move on.A new map would be nice as I defiantly have my Radar on again, and it would help in planing new actions.

Okay guys were here. Its time to vandalize what we can and to loot the place. We have about five minutes. We need to bring down the assembly line. I would also suggest we blow the transmitter on the way out. It is essential that we take what ever we can get of value to offset our cost and brings us Nuyen. If like I could use another spirit of air service to coceal and transport heavy items to the van or where ever we are locating them. This would be like car engines or a car if needed, it is a force 5 air spirit so i can imagine it could bear alot of wieght. Secondly, I'm going to astal percieve to see if I can find armory..(weapons and armor storage)
I agree sent. Has done slot of npc. But need to look at char. And roles calico cat is a gunner and the first month of this mission was matrix and planning. I can see where people that had nothing to do but twiddle there thumbs could lose interest. Also calico has not been active on forums since may 18.at all I wonder if something hasn't happened to them. As for as me, again can do nothing in matrix, I've been active the last week when magic was needed and posted this morning that ryker would be calling for the other spirits. I also checked in with sent. During my 2week absence and explained it to him. I'm sorry if this has deducted from the experience of the game.
Don't get me wrong I'm not offended. You cant offend me over a game. I'm also not looking for an argument, just wanted to offer some explanations as to what the group may be going through. I also believe that cursor has been on the majority of the time. I will say that I usually don't post more than once or twice a day. and boy I hope this is the OCC thread. I will say this is my longer post ever.
Sent. I wouldn't get my hopes up of me making long post like this.
Ill drive there so we can load something to rover. But it is not the truck. And we still need to distract guards to go somewhere else while Im coming in. Sam. Do you get that radio?
Aren't we in Combat any more considering they might have gotten the word out?Ill drive there so we can load something to rover. But it is not the truck. And we still need to distract guards to go somewhere else while Im coming in. Sam. Do you get that radio?
all four radio's are at you disposal - there was also one integrated in the console, but it's turned off now.
you should load up at least dobermans, unless you plan to just ram through the fence with them.
and by the way you can switch to IC now :D
Ryker is astrally percieving and is looking to see where alot inventory is. also, would like to find the armory that the gaurds use. Since i have an elctronics incompetence..ie ( i do good to operate my own commlink) I will have to depend on other group members to figure out what is valuable. As I said earlier we need to plant explosives and loot. Everyone is doing a good job right now, lets just stay focused.
As i see it we can do either of these to get rid of the rest of the Metas, then i doubt i will be able to plant explosives in the production line while there are a few guards and a lot of workers.
A) get them out with a lie
B) Take them out
1)lie them in coming to one place and use gas
2) 1-2 at a time
depending on this we can then decide what to do, i have some ideas for every one of the ways so let's see what you like better
might work, not really sure how long, but logicically thinking it should take some time. Explosions is a precision job so rushing it might be not the best idea.As i see it we can do either of these to get rid of the rest of the Metas, then i doubt i will be able to plant explosives in the production line while there are a few guards and a lot of workers.

How much time do you need to set the bombs? maybe you don't need to take them all out, just flush them for a moment from the main building? and use the minute or two to rig the place and fire away.
No trucks in the loading bays.my mistake, did remember that one wrong.
Where in the map is the gates to the facility? Until now none of my actions were based on the territory, so I kind of forget about where they are, and can't seem to find it in the plant...If you want Sam can take the guards out as well while they are on their way to the gate, but I was thinking that you might want some fun too
Well, I will do as Sam suggested, and call one of the guards to the gate. Then if needed I may tamper with the cameras to show the guy opening the gates or something, if we're needed inside. Or else, I will just stay giving orders for them to separate and for us to take one at a time...

Engulf
Type: P • Action: Complex • Range: Touch • Duration: Sustained
The Engulf power gives a critter the ability to draw victims into
itself or the terrain it controls, thus smothering the victim. Treat
Engulf as a melee attack. If the attack succeeds, it inflicts damage
(see below) and the critter engulfs the victim in its grasp. Every time
the critter’s Action Phase comes up, the critter automatically inflicts
damage with a base DV equal to its Magic attribute. Net hits on the
melee attack increase the DV of this damage. The victim resists this
damage normally with a Damage Resistance Test, using Body + half
Impact armor (round up) unless otherwise noted.
Engulfed victims may not move. During the victim’s Action Phase,
the victim may attempt to escape. Make an Opposed Test, rolling the
victim’s Strength + Body against the critter’s Magic + Body. If the
victim prevails, then he has escaped and takes no more damage from
the attack.
The secondary effects of some engulfing attacks are described
as follows:
Air Engulf: The victim resists Stun as if from an inhalation-vector
toxin attack (see p. 254). Armor does not protect against this attack, but
other protective gear might (see the Toxin Protection table, p. 254). If
the victim passes out from Stun damage, he will continue to take damage,
with the Stun damage overflowing into Physical damage as normal.
so they would take damage run into my Taser, and Cursors crossbow, sweet ;DQuoteEngulf
snip...
Rather one IP to deliver base 5S damage to all in a room + net hits on melee attack against one target, resisted with Body only. Usually more then enough to stun a single target per IP - 2 IP per CT. By the third IP (all of them would be stunned) - but they can try to run, so barring them the way out would be necessary.
That leaves main assembly building - the questions is whether to bother with any other building. Cursor is up to.A building is up to Omar and Fractal, they have the means to lure the guards in a ambush for the loot.
IC - tell them what you want them to do. Describe what you're doing. There is no time for further planning. You've already wasted one minute.ok ok, Posting IC
Read again. I wrote that he is up to whatever but you need to tell him what you want;D Just made a joke. IC should be up.
Car back in OK, so Ill post tomorow my next steps...Good to hear.
How are the Dobberman's equipped? I believe they are not prepared for a not lethal takedown, but it would be interesting to know the resources at hand.just ram the guy in the ground with it ;D
Car back in OK, so Ill post tomorow my next steps...
I'm doing just that. Waiting for Omar action. Things seem to be too calm on the outside, so maybe it's time to go inside. I'll wait for Omar to tell what he plans to do before making a call for the guards.
Also, is there any combat or decrypt software on Erik's commlink? If so, I will copy them to mine.
Nice, except from Edit, I will serve myself. Always nice to have updated softwares.
Cursor will definitely gather the guard's guns. Predators with clips are worth 500 each - half that to sell, but still with four of them that is another grant in nuyen and if possible he would take their armor jackets - that is another two grants for the four you have. The modified commlinks (hermes ikon) of the hacker nearby is worth another two grants on sell not to mention the software the entire set will yeild further two grants. Total loot on that part is seven thousands nuyen.:o Nice,
there are no priv link on themnote to self: Check locker room

This is a shortrange radio - everyone within 500 meters (more form the security center radio) that is keyed into the frequency and encryption can hear/talk. this must be one of the remaining guard, but you have no cordinates.I was more of the doing a ruse thing: Billy second the man's question and asks the guards to radio in name and position and positions, they do not have the the knowledge that the guards are out and as all the guards we have taken out are around the Sec Cent "Billy" can just say that these have come in person. Fractal could do the guards too.
OK Ive read recent posts, I think I have an image of the situation.
Ryker we are going in. I hope my sensors would tell me if there is anybody out there. Still, we may need you back in the meat once dealing witzh guards.
Ill ride for Building A (where dobemans are), there are two guards, and the loading bay I suppose (since finished production is stored there)
This place would by our exit zone untill now
I would suggest to lure all guards for possible breach to building D, as we have no interest in there right now. We can tell guards that Dobermans would take care of the rest, and I will station 1 dopberman on "Duty" in Building A and send another one to main production building with the guards. Since dobermans are live loaded, there is no way I can use them in combat...

My idea not the best, but had a terrible work day so off to get some rest.
we have the name list and we will have the voices to match and their positions, maybe some suspicions guards but for now they are at a disadvantage.
p.s. so many voices in the head would make a memory roll will + logic to get one of them right, as it is just too much the threshold would be 1 I guess, or am I wrong, Sen correct me on this.
snip...
I've already ruled on this: -4 modifier on con roll and it is enough. The treshold for con roll will include growing suspiciousness as well. anyway your action is to cover and stay in the place you're currently according to IC. I am waiting for other IC and tick the clock :)

Me and cursor are waiting for the air spirit in the room we are aiming at!
end of story,
that was in my last IC
I have the Air spirit assist in takeing out the guards as planned. Upon returning to my meat. I raise up PM @ everyone: I'm bacxk in the meat, and no longer astral. I Have my spirit of man watching the astral for us." at that Ryker snaps his fingers and chimes in good to be back in tmy body for a time being. PmS team: what do you need me to do, as he begins searching for guards that he can assist with.
On the separate note. Apart form that you CAN with the help of an air spirit stun the people there. Why to do so? They're out of the way, blocked by the walls from seeing you moving and nowhere in place of detonation around the assembly crane and line.Strategy
Strategy
fighting on two sides is suicide, as we lack a tank, and taking that room out is much more easy then to take the main hall in one turn.
and 2 turns mean a call for backup
no thanks, I like it safe. :P
I am not sure, but our chances are better. As for the description of engulf they will have to resist first and then flee, we will have a problem if they radio, then I and cursor will be outnumbered, but they have first spot us, but would you really have them radio for help when they have no air to breath? illogical is it not? if the spirit has to materialize first and they are not surprised then yes.Strategy

a good strategy (and that comes from your previous infiltration experience) is to avoid unnecessary risk. If you perform stealthily there won't be any two sides fighting. You still have an option to cut the job clean. Of course taking out that room can also be a step to doing it clean. But are you sure, that even with help, you're able to take out the entire room in single IP?

I open door, spirit goes in, Cursor closes door while the engulf has not reached us, interrupt action.
while do the regular people have radios? you need just tell me that i cant really tell with my Radar, that would be fine too.
Spirit has to materialize to affect physical world. You can rely on your radar (so far it hasn't failed you - no reason to start now). The only radio you see on the radar is the one that is kept by the guard. Other guys have only datajacks and control rigs in term of cyberware.would my stealth roll affect how silent I open the doors as well or would I have to make a separate one?
Yes and yes. The only issue is that this are many people there no a single person. Thru spotting chances are higher. That's all.
I think...
You just need to plant explosives on assembly line, then move to building A, help us load the loot to the Tank we have and gtfo. I dont give a fuck for guards, and I bet you are able to plant those explosives stealthily even in daylight.
More confrontations = higher probability of being hit. So please, just plant that bomb and come to us in the building A. And be carefull, there is one guard on duty left there...
Ths is not ADnD...there is no exp for kills :)

So Omar is not coming to help with the Main hall i gather? a pity, if we would get our whole force together we actually might get it done in the direct way.
You don`t want to hear what I want to saay when I read this post. You really don`t.
And no. Omar is not comming. Dobermans should, but they are live loaded and would shot to kill.
What do you want me to do there. Rig their heads?
p.s Sen will a gas grenade be heard if i place it not throw it?, the releasing of gas I mean?

then that's settled I go in and try my luck in sneaking past the first worker
:-\ this is the moment of truth. Roll Sen perception for them I want to see how well they do.
Hope Cursor Can hold his action to close and hold the door after I am back.
Sichr. what do you do?
You don`t want to hear what I want to saay when I read this post. You really don`t.
And no. Omar is not comming. Dobermans should, but they are live loaded and would shot to kill.
What do you want me to do there. Rig their heads?
Double-standards ehh?
I am no fighter myself, rather Sam is not, so I have to be cautious about the number and status of my enemies, up until now I have used my stealth as a weapon, but if I lose it I will lose my fights as well.
Sichr. what do you do?
Preparing for internal audit. Back not sooner than at the evening
So why do you want to fight? My advice was to avoid confrontation. You insist on that. now you are telling me that you are not fighter and that I should come to help you?
your call
like i said in IC, we may create distraction once we are in.
still, your call

snip...
I've already ruled on this: -4 modifier on con roll and it is enough. The treshold for con roll will include growing suspiciousness as well. anyway your action is to cover and stay in the place you're currently according to IC. I am waiting for other IC and tick the clock :)
Me and cursor are waiting for the air spirit in the room we are aiming at!
end of story,
that was in my last IC
Ahh, that was that. I totally forgot that you wanted to clear the electricity room.I have the Air spirit assist in takeing out the guards as planned. Upon returning to my meat. I raise up PM @ everyone: I'm bacxk in the meat, and no longer astral. I Have my spirit of man watching the astral for us." at that Ryker snaps his fingers and chimes in good to be back in tmy body for a time being. PmS team: what do you need me to do, as he begins searching for guards that he can assist with.
JDA. That will consume another service. It'd be better (in terms of service using up) - if you'd go in astral to the room, and pointed the guard and workers there.
This is where I got pissed of.the thing i meant there was that you say that you want me to go in a room where my chances to avoid a conflict are slimm but you did not want come to be the back up.
You are not fighter, but you want to fight...and you tell me to join you in that...
I will drive to the building A with my lights off, last 50 meters ill try also to turn of my engine, depends on how noise is in surrounding. D1 will run around the buildings to the entrance of building D, ready to make possible distraction. D2 would follow Sam to main building, but stays in the corridor from security center.
@Sent:
1. Are assembly lines running..i mean, is there belt conveyer or tray roll or something like that?
2. How fast are the products moving on it?
3. Is there a way to get the bomb inside semiproduct before it gets on the assembly line?
4. Is there Fire Alarm inside the building (because the smoke from grenade would probably set the alarm on)?
5. How we can shut down the power to the lights?
Once Im home, Ill redraw your map, trying to figure out possible LOS fields for guards and personell. Ill then wait for your confirmation, and we would have a beautifull playground for I hope last part of this single intrussion.
so, no "go in, plant explosives, leave" would work, confirms my suspections
2. - you don't know that, there aren't any - the night shift isn't producing anything (Cursor, can easily check that with the assembly node) - there are maintenance work being done only - cleaning, checking, replacing, rolls, calibrating tools etc...
3. probably, but see 2.
6. the major switches on the electrical lines to the building - they'd be in the closet room nearby Sam location (not the one with people, just south from it)this is nice, this is very nice, got some more ideas, but you probably too

If you say so. planting a bomb under the machinery or on it's side is only slightly less effective then planting the bomb inside. But probably you would need to place few bombsFirst off all, you all said that taking out a wall is strutural damage, making a big hole in the floor is not? ???

God, how I'd love to be a player on this run :)Too much work and no GM privileges, yeah we have the life, man.
So do I think. Even with standard grenade you wouldnt create the hole in the floor, but to destroy the machinery you need only to bend some of their parts for centimeters (even milimeters would be enought). The charge you can mold in half of your hand + detonator for every target is all you need...just walk around and slap it there....in close was it somthing like +2 or +4 on preception, so this is a no go
and dont forget,,,chameleon suit is computer operated, it may even be programed to look like an uniform...you may take raincoat over it and no guard would recognize you until its too late.
God, how I'd love to be a player on this run :)Too much work and no GM privileges, yeah we have the life, man.
about the damage, it depends, if i only need a small batch i need to place it near some rare and difficult to replace parts, and i do not have that kind of knowledge. placing it just somewhere would end up blowing the inessential parts that they can replace like yesterday,
God, how I'd love to be a player on this run :)Too much work and no GM privileges, yeah we have the life, man.
Yeah, we have the life. Before joining this game, I didn't know for how long I haven't played. GMing is both a blessing and a curse.
Don't know if the others feels like it, but almost always I played I wanted to GM, and whenever I GMed I wanted to play...
@Sent: Should we assume that I can give Sam the directions to takleout right piece ov machinery? As soon as i got the image, I should roll to see if I know something...what do you say? Ive been even asking Eric on this topic...

You don't have a gillete with you so I'll share and idea I got an hour ago - I'd just stack the heaviest armor possible, and run like mad through the assembly building throwing explosive grenades under the assembly and stun grenades in the general direction of guards crying 'GRENADES !!!! run for your life!!! ' and then just skip away. Even to die that way would be funny :D
Without CEO to organize things? remember you have an ace here - tommorow they will spend time to look for their chief, then his vices will start acting, and all the time the cash in unfinished products will bleed them out. There is only so much you need to do. Overpowering the entire facility to act as you please is certainly an option. (and an outstanding feat, if you manage to do so without informing the security central) but it is a platinium solution, while only a silver one is necessary (the gold would be if you do the silver, and manage to cut yourself some additional cash).
Sen do I see someone having a comlink with the radar?
I thought something like that happened...you are under FullAutoPosting :)
No prob.
Well, gentlemen, like Teyl_Iliar says:
RackOps for me
See you tomorrow
OK. Movement of drones and rover. Position of D2 is desired to cover Sms approach, depends on Sams actions.
Ill try to take my flying minidrone inside. Anyhow: windows, doors holes...As soon as Im succesfull I will try to gather some info:
Questions by numbers:
1) This is supposed to be parts inventory, and the room to the left is Finished products inventory. What kind of access is there from outside?
2) What is this place? Does the workers there have LOS on the main assembly hall?
3) Does the guard positioned here have a clear LOS on the hall? Is he on the ground or somewhere above the ground?
4) Is this the main crane we were talking about?
5) This is the warehouse. Does this mean shelves with parst and finalized production? Where are access points? The guard there, what is its position...is it ground level office, or is he higher above the ground?
What is the level of background noise. I know that calm factory after the shift is almost scary :)
OK so production is on halt, workers there are working on machines, cleaning, doing maintenace. Would be Cursor able to run the lines on call?
I didn't understand the one about Cursor - what exactly did you mean?Can cursor activate the production line if needed?
Can't controling the crane in a really lousy way damage the assembly line as well as the crane, and yet be understood as just a mechanical failure/problem?
If so, then we don't need to spend so much explosives.
OK had some h of sleep, reread the whole 2 pages from today and there is no plan nothing at all, just ideas
so
do we do the Sneak + air spirit attack?
or do we keep planing for a distraction?
{Health: 0 / 10P and 0 / 10S damage, NO Wound penalty, No Stun penalty} | {Edge: 2/ 4} {Defense: 4; Initiative: 11; IP's: 3} |
{Ballistic Armor: 10; Impact Armor: 8 ; Mods : Thermal Dampening (4); Nonconductivity (4); Skinlink} |
@sen
You said that the guards cam to the RMD facility all of them right?
Did the hacker had head comlinks or normal ones?
Message from Cursor - how about a plan that has LESS then three steps and no if's?
do you want to gtalk? sentinemodo at gmail.com
Simple questions simple aneswers -
what would be the loot?
what is the main target?

In fact, I hoped that some players would contribute. Solving those "If"s you are talking about, using their knowledge and skills to their best performance.
Well now I think its not going to happen.
So Im on the back seat, let the Cursor make a plan.
Loot is optional, we say two engines are possible gain, and since Cursor is in assembly node, I hoped to get some blueprints.
Targets are:
Crane
Sensitive spots on assembly lines
correct me if Im wrong.
Can't controling the crane in a really lousy way damage the assembly line as well as the crane, and yet be understood as just a mechanical failure/problem?
If so, then we don't need to spend so much explosives.
Thats a good one, depends if there is something sensitive in the area around the crane, what I doubt, since the crane is operating with heavy items and they may fall down, so I suppose for safety reasons it is even restricted area for personel...
Message from Cursor - how about a plan that has LESS then three steps and no if's?never used g talk, might try, but have my skype open most of the time name "ebonits"

this is IC, Sen what what roll will you need?this point trying to stay out of sight at the wall near building D inside C and further as well.
setting the charges took only a few seconds, the change in the room was noticeable, few workers dropped everything and went for the door, others just stood shocked, at least until Fractal made his speech, then they too left the room, the guards where a different story, they were prepared for such cases after all.
when the room is clear Sam gets the rest of charges set with the help of Omar comm giving advice witch parts to hit and witch not.
on his way out he let them go off while being sure no one was left in the room, Radar and ultra sound comes in handy here too.
the way to the rover was covered fast but checking not to been seen by anyone
end
Loot is optional, we say two engines are possible gain, and since Cursor is in assembly node, I hoped to get some blueprints.
Thats -4 dices total with dumpshock penalty. Ill be unable to act (i.e.: Infiltration: Agility-1-4 = -1), so I will focus on destroying the crane and giving intel to others and I dont give a fuck for looting.
Lo(6)+Automechanics(4)-2 (8d6.hits(5)=0) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3067527/)
At least its not a glitch
As for the crane:
I`ll need crane node response to roll
As for the crane:
I`ll need crane node response to roll
So here goes my Data Search rolls:
The time interval is a Complex Action, since I'm searching in juts a node. Threshold 4, as Sen stablished.
2 (DataSearch) + 5 (Erik's Browse Program) + 2 (Omar hits on automechanics) = 9 dice pool = 4 hits, no glitch (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3067590/)
Blueprints are on the go.
additional dice: need 1 more (3d6.hits(5)=1) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3068543/)
and got one more
I think this should be enought for distraction of people around assembly line ...
Fractal: Weren`t you running stealth?
Sorry the laqst few days have taken a lot of time out of my day so not really able to post much if at all
so rolling....

IC in a few hours...just scanning throught here ;)
He was matrializing. Wouldn't he be able then?not sure there is such a spell, but ok if so then it works
Manifesting
If a purely astral form such as a spirit or an astrally projecting magician
wishes to interact with the physical plane, she must manifest.
Manifesting is a psychic effect that allows an astral form to make
itself visible and audible on the physical plane through an act of will.
Manifesting takes a Simple Action to engage or disengage. Manifesting
characters and spirits appear on the physical plane as ghostly, hazy
images and may freely communicate with physical characters. Unlike
the Materialization power of spirits (p. 296), manifesting does not
create a physical form, and so the character cannot physically interact
with anything, nor can she be harmed by physical attacks. Because
manifestation is a psychic effect, manifested characters cannot be detected,
recorded, or affected by technological devices. Likewise, manifesting
beings are still subject to astral attacks.
Sam: If you blow up anything, they will evacuate...halls possibly have even heat detectors and thermographic cameras for this or smoke detectors, so even a small fire would rise an alarm...I only got to drive to avoid evacuation points.
Im comfortable with the idea we got lost in the city and Eric would be found a few days later wandering the wasteland not knowing what/why/when/where/WHOwe can still do that,as i did give him one laes before leaving so we would erase his last few hours. of us.
"Good point about this... so that mean Noise and Andromeda will do the talking I guess"Last I checked my sheet Andromeda was an Ork, going to do again ...
nope still Ork, not human.
ok question time. I wanting to pick up a spell that does stun damage looking at a couple. the book says instruction cost *1,500 nuyen.
1. how do i figure instruction cost. i just want to buy the spell. Also i have a combat spell focus do i get to add those dice to learning the spell?
2. next i can spend karma for a force 1 binding focus, but how much nuyen does it cost?
Question #3 I used all the spirit of air services, but not sure if i have any spirit of man services left. (Sent. could let me know.)
at the very least I will have 9000 nuyen.
i will pay atleast 1000 on debt, (more depending on what i actually get and cost of spell, misc.)
I send 200 nuyen present to each of my contacts. 3@200=600 nuyen spent on this. The present is personalized to them.
So I'm going to contact Grunk (my tailsmonger contact and see if he can get me a stunbolt spell and what it will cost to get the spell.
These are actions that i don't want to forget so go ahead and count on these expenses on my end.
and try to introduce npc leader to keep the planning in the IC as well as moderate the discussion if needed.Not sure the Leader would be good, a npc with witch you can control us on the other hand would do good.
note of absence for a few days while travelling. still wondering how you cope with Robot defences on your hand-held sent, mine blocks 90% of prepared posts, maybe to long my guess.
secondly, does the end post sums up all the karma or is the separate from the middle of the game still separate?
You guys ready with that loot splitting?Was it 4 karma in the in the inbetween gap?
I need updated cards, and info what you do during the couple of days before next run. (you ended on Friday, next run will start on Thursday next week, so you got 6 days for do-nothing, working on contacts, training or undergoing surgeries with the streetdocs)
As of the robot defense I think it is the matter of hot spot not the post. I am browsing from blackberry and I haven't any problems at all.
The mission was an infiltration attempt, and Sam shinned there. Fractal studied his art, and 4 Karma would go in raising his Infiltration Skill from 1 to 2. If possibli, another 2 Karma would go into buying a Urban specialization to the same skill.I think you can't increase a skill and get a specialisation on it only one of them, but if you can I would like to use it too, so I hold up my upgrade posting until you answer this.

Done :)
I think I've responded to all.
if there is anything I've omitted that you want me comment upon, let me know.
Now. We've hopefully passed over that painfully long planning stage. The base for current events is 4 Karma for each of you. Sichr, Kour and Netz get additional 2 points of Karma for impressive activity.

Lol...Ive spend 3/4 hour looking for that post, now I see that Sent made it first :)
But Ive been reading throught many posts we have done...and LOL, it wasnt misused time :)
:D
PS.: Just for we all to updated things easily, the things we had bought through Fractal contacts were:
a Micro-Tapper Bug (1000 ¥); a gas mask (250 ¥), 4 doses of trances (480 ¥) - Fractal's new belonging costs 1730 ¥;
a spoof chip (500 ¥) and a morphing plate (1000) ¥ for Omar, so he must deduct 1500 ¥ from his credit.
Did we pay more than the table cost for the items, or payed an additional for the delivery? If so, how much is that?

And I have 10-2 laes on my sheet for double the book price (50$)
p.s. how much explosives would be on package? 500g or what weight.
cool,Looks like I used less then 500g judging from RL at least this article
I was almost spot on with my guess, you can use that to update the cards instead of the 3000 costs split I proposed if you wish.
I don't know how much a charge weight - 500g seems reasonable. I only hope this isn't enough to get rid of the southern half of Denver. a charge is a rough equivalent of HE grenade in terms of damage dealt.
A small amount of C-4 packs a pretty big punch. Less than a pound of C-4 could potentially kill several people, and several military issue M112 blocks of C-4, weighing about 1.25 pounds (half a kilogram) each, could potentially demolish a truck. Demolition experts typically use a good amount of C-4 in order to do a job properly. To take out one 8-inch (20.3-centimeter) square steel beam, for example, they would probably use 8 to 10 pounds (3.6 to 4.5 kilograms) of C-4.C-4 description (http://science.howstuffworks.com/c-42.htm)
PS: If we assume the drugs we used on Erik were the Trance I had bought, then we can forget that 3000 ny cost that Sent said (drugs, laes and microtapper, since I paid for the drugs and microtapper and Sam for the laes).

For shopping I`ll ask Fractal for help, I dont have a skill or contact to do it myself soon enough...
I will update my sheet after GM approval
about optimization - this gives you +1 dice to exploit, correct? if true, that's ok.
Exploit at 5 is an availability 10R. To get it in time - you'd need to throw in additional 1000 nuyen if you do the soft is yours.
If this is alright, I can sent an updated Character Sheet.
It is. Make an update, before you forget things.

| Ramón "Quase-Nada" Madruga (Fixer) | Connections 4/ Loyalty 3 | The latino dwarf specializes himself in making ends meet, for a reasonable price. As the saying go, being a fixer, he lives by his contacts. No he does not die by his contacts, since that would make him a lousy fixer. He does not work with the wrong people, and even the ones with potential may have a difficult time to get in his good side. This dwarf prefers to work from a secure point, and you just get one of these choosing well who you work with. |
| Thomas "Thorn" Cain (Taxi Driver) | Connection 2/ Loyalty 1 | Thorn lives his life as a cabbie at Denver, and in the shadows people says he can really turn your life a little easier when you need to cross some of the boundaries: the man is an specialist in transportation inside in Denver, and he knows some coyotes who work on the borders. He is also a good source of Denver streets gossip, if you have the patience to filtrate it from his cheap driver seat philosophy. |
| Damien "Inkling" Blake (Tattooist Roommate) | Connections 2/ Loyalty 1 | Fractal's roommate is not what most would call a resourceful man, but he listen what's been going on in the art and style scene of the city and know some nice things. Sum it with the fact he is quite an enjoyable guy and you will come to the conclusion it's worth having him around. |

PS.: Just for we all to updated things easily, the things we had bought through Fractal contacts were:
a Micro-Tapper Bug (1000 ¥); a gas mask (250 ¥), 4 doses of trances (480 ¥) - Fractal's new belonging costs 1730 ¥;
a spoof chip (500 ¥) and a morphing plate (1000) ¥ for Omar, so he must deduct 1500 ¥ from his credit.
Did we pay more than the table cost for the items, or payed an additional for the delivery? If so, how much is that?
