We can at least move as far forward as meeting back up at the diner, yeah?  Faro's out for a bit, and the new guy's character would be with Sammy, so I assumed we were going to at least get as far as bringing everyone back together.

...  Surely you don't mean actual, physical screen monitors?  I'm guessing AR monitors, which means there's probably a wireless connection somewhere...

Surely you over estimate the cost of security for a worthless little department store in a small town.  There is a wireless connection to the system, the feed is transmitted to the regional office by way of it.

We are moving forward as best we can, right now the mages are in a hold, because there is no one to play them, the rest of you can keep trucking until you go back to the diner.

I'm just saying, physical monitors are basically museum pieces after Crash 2.0.  All you actually need is an image link.

Speaking of wireless: Is Fionn aware whether or not the cameras are wireless enabled themselves?

[Crossbow]

I am not trying to nerf your guy, I just think that Ares-Mart would operate at the lowest feasible level, if physical monitors are that antique, then you are right, there is an image link in the security center..

Icarus' roll comfirms the redundant camera coverage. The basic idea is that a single hacker or act of sabotage cannot shut down or scramble the feeds to all the cameras at once, Icarus also notes a lack professionallism on the part of the security he can see, rent-a-cops of the lowest source, theft detterent only.

So, to do anything useful, I'll need to get into the central system.

Thing to remember is that after the second Crash, pretty much everything needed to be replaced (this being how the wireless Matrix got going in the first place).  Monitors are typically just ARO's, since everyone has image links on something.  It's a pretty different setup from the modern day.

EDIT:  Alright, so, I've modified the parameters of my searching a bit.  We'll see if that gets us anywhere, and I'm crossposting the results.

Okay, just so it is said, when you post an edit, please do me a huge favor and hit me with a PM or a new post ooc so I know it is there.  I will get back to you on the search results, that is about 3 hours of searching there.  Are you guys going to make a run on Ares-Mart or what?

[RHat]

That I can do.  We're basically walking in for a scouting run (so that we know what we're looking at before we attempt thievery), but a new conversation started as soon as we got out of the truck.

I'm all set to move on in my neck of the woods. Johnny is just small talking the gun toting Santa till Sam is done with the sheriff. I thought about asking to borrow some guns but Johnny is NOT a talker so I'll leave that for Sam.

I've been really busy this last week, but I'll try to snag some time tonight/tomorrow to advance Sam's storyline a bit.

I haven't really minded that much the game slowing down, I had a research paper that I had to completely restart at the last minute and I am in the end of semester crush at school, so the Real World was definitely a priority for a bit.

I've been in about the same place, so it hasn't been to bad for me either.

[RHat]

So...  Is someone gonna move the AresMart end of things forward at some point?

[HydroRaven]

Clem can't do much there besides get in and look around at the security, which has already been accounted for.

[Crossbow]

I think finalizing an actual plan is what is needed at this point, or someone canjust take unilateral action,  that is always fun for me
