Action is primarily on Zweiblumen right now so it's understandable that there hasn't been much happening ICly. If we can finish the hacking within the next day or two then that will give everyone else an opportunity to get more involved. Monday will be a slower day for me too since I'll be burning rubber on a report due Tuesday morning.
@Zweiblumen1. Both of the houses are on the Local Grid. The local grid is called AspeNet and is provided by the PCC itself (since the PCC is a corporation in its own right). The Local Grid is superb, as "Pueblo is well known for its cutting edge Matrix systems, computer engineering, and even its spectacular public AR systems" (per
Sixth World Almanac, p. 182). Once inside, you realize there is no Noise for targets within 1 km. Noise outside of that range is uncertain.
2. The Host Rating of the middle house is 3. The north house is rating 4.
3. The Firewall Rating of the middle house is 5. The north house is rating 7.
4. Neither host has any marks on it.
5. You need to be
in a host to see if there are any icons running silently within it. Using the the Perception action to search nearby, you do not see any icons running silent. Looks like a relatively quiet neighborhood.
I figure you'll want to start with the softer target. I'll roll that out. I'm going to presume that you spend an action to swap Data Processing with Sleaze, so Sleaze is now 6.
6. Hacking on the Fly: Logic 9 + Hacking 6 + VR 2 - 1 Wounds:
9 hits (Limit 6)
7. Host resists:
hits
8. You get a mark on the host.
9. You use the mark to enter the host. The house now considers you a valid guest.
10. Snooping around, you find a ton of domestic devices (refrigerator, ovens, coffee makers, thermometers, trid sets and entertainment systems, and so on).
11. The doors are secured with rating 3 maglocks.
12. Inside, there are motion sensors directed to detect if any of the doors and windows open.
13a. Outside, there is a motion sensor set to illuminate the driveway and front steps if anyone approaches.
13b. Outside, there are cameras above all the doors.
14. There does not appear to be anything particularly fancy or exotic, like trip beams, pressure pads, vibration detectors, or olfactory sensors.
15. The thermometer is set for 15 degrees Celsius (59F). It is not scheduled to rise to 22C until Friday, February 8th (one week from the current day).
If you want to roll the tougher target (the north house) that's up to you.
Per Ryo's OOC post to Ravensoracle, you have every program, including Baby Monitor. Emphasis mine.
When you check the deck, you see you have every common use and hacking program, as well as a Rating 6 agent.
For your Matrix Perception tests, don't forget to add the die from your Qualia genetic treatment. +1 to all skill tests linked to Intuition, including Matrix Perception.
