Well that was educational!

[deathwishjoe]

So this technomancer build I feel harkens back to the SR4a days of the hacker rigger combination archetype.  I feel that while certainly it fullfills both the roles of decker and rigger it does the hacker role very unconventionally and IMHO does them both better then non technomancers. 

I did make a few assumptions when making this character.  The first assumption is that when adding turrets to drones that they are the equivalent to SR4a's internal turrets as opposed to concealed turrets or external turrets.  This means that the turrets on this technomancers drones can be covered or are not readily obvious from a distance. The second assumption was that sprites are able to use the send messege action in the matrix since they as far as I'm aware unable to directly store information.  The third assumption is faraday cages are quite uncommon when it comes to security design.  Yes they hose riggers who aren't onsite but they require that a building be built with the cage in the designs or a rather extensive remodel.  They also limit what sort of matrix security that can be used in a building.  Not having gone over the new chicago missions I do not recall a single faraday cage being used to defend a property in any of the other missions.

So for anyone who's taking an interest in this build but doesn't have Bullets and Bandages I chose the caduceas because its an anthroform drone.  With actual hands I don't need team mates to open doors for me and with legs rather then treads I can walk any where a human can rather then geting stuck in a narrow hallway.

Bad kitty finished the disguise for white knight finishing with a painted on curly mustache.  Because everyone knows you cant have a pizza delivery drone wih out a mustache.  The plastic red rain poncho works perfectly to further conceal the turret placed in white knights chest and a cicero's pizza hat finished off the costume.  After taking a moment to appreciate her work she sends white knight to go have a seat inside the white rabbit.  She then hope inside the white rabit herself and tells it to head over to the office building and maintain a holding pattern around it once it gets there.  Once there she switchs her perception over into the matrix as hr body goes limp.  Bad kitty begins pulling peices of resonance out of the area around her in the matrix to compile a sprite whoes appearence looks like a feline with a large grin.

She then asks the sprite to gain full access to the security commlink at the front desk.

Since this uses one service per round of matrix actions we have the sprite roll initiative.

I might have tried to use the remote services to only use 1 service to edit me out but this seemed to be a little murky rules wise and possibly a little unfair.

She then asks the carpenter to use its diagnostics power on the white knight untill further notice. She directs the white rabbet to park in front of the office building and then jumps into white knight.  He picks up the pizza and heads to the front reception area with pizza in hand.  "greetings from ciceros I am here to deliver a large delicious "soy"peroni pizza!" says bad kitty in her best robot voice as she walks through the front door.

Bad kity has white knight hop inside white rabbit and they drive away from the crime scene.  Now for the last little bit.  So Badkitty is going to try and attack the host from two sides.  First Shes going to lower the firewall attribute of the host as much as she can using firewall diffusion complex form.  Second she's going to compile a level 10 sprite to have as many dice against it as she can. Hopefully these two combined will allow her to get the info she needs off of the host. 

Badkitty ask the walrus to assist her with threading her complex form goo goo g'joob.

=============================================================================================================
So overall I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out.  Bad kitty has more dice then cowboy when it comes to initiative, shooting, dodging attacks and what not.  I was a bit worried about the viability of the sprites as proxy hackers.  Would I be able to get enough services to accomplish the hacking tasks?  As we can see the answer is yes.  I'm a little concerned about the issue that came up with the data bomb..  Sprites are however expendable if one dies you just summon another.
