Bonus dice for code crackingOhanzee: 1
Sam: 2
Chino: 2
Bonus hits from Teamwork:
1 hit, so
5 hits total. I'll post some of the conclusions ICly.
@ZweiblumenA user does not have to be in VR to be a persona. If someone is using the Matrix (even for AR) then they have a persona. The persona overrides the device icon (commlink or cyberdeck) until the user jacks out / reboots.
Just to be a shifty GM, I never said the human had the rating 3 device. That said:
Resisting 7-hit hack-on-the-fly:
1 hit, didn't put up much of a fight that time. You now have a mark on the Renraku Sensei. And a bunch of free perception hits.
Resisting 5-hit Erase Mark:
4 hits. Now it's putting up a fight. But the mark on Doc's deck is still erased.
You find a Toyota Gopher slaved to the commlink.
Toyota Gopher resisting marks:
1 hit, 1 hit, 1 hit. That was pretty pathetic. 3 quick marks on the Gopher.
Toyota Gopher resisting 5-hit Control Device:
4 hits, really back and forth on the resist dice here. Doc succeeds in getting the truck to start autopiloting itself toward the town of Basalt, which is half an hour away. I presume Woody Creek, which is halfway between, is too small to qualify.
Overall the tactic is doable but how long you'll be able to monitor the truck is not certain. You'll reach the 15-minute threshold for your Overwatch Score between then, and rebooting to reset your overwatch score will lose the marks.
