Timeline as I see it, Eddie recons the sewers at night following pixel's matrix romp. Chaim, pale horse, and Ichante submit their requests while Eddie is away, and the next morning your appointments week be made at Lordstrung's hall of measuring and pampering. You are welcome to play it out as you see fit. Asher will pull out all the stops, full pamper-age in high gear complete with very effeminate male orc.

Looks good Herr, the items will be delivered to the original meeting club the morning after the order is placed. You'll pick them up from the same hostess that led you to the warehouse. Although, this time, she'll be wearing actual clothes.

Gwilym, I know Pale Horse was interested in Perception-boosting gear like contacts and earbuds but in theory she needs business clothes too if she's going to be part of the on-site scouting team. (Or, more accurately, if she's going to look professional as part of the scouting team.)

Pale Horse already meets or exceeds the Perception dice pools of Chaim and Ichante, even without gear. I guess we need to balance short-term needs with long-term needs. It would be great to have Pale Horse along (which probably requires a suit) because her Perception pool is so big, but longer-term the Perception gear might be more valuable than the suit, which may only get used once or twice.

Alternatively... someone could loan Pale Horse some glasses and earbuds for the recon, although that doesn't necessarily address the long-term issue of Pale Horse wanting gear of her own. Maybe Pale Horse can get a less-expensive suit that isn't armored, then spend the remainder on perception gear?

I'll leave it up to gwilym. I just wanted to talk it through.

Herr, do you want to roll for Pixel? I can try to do it but won't have an opportunity until late on Sunday. And, even then, Matrix isn't my specialty, although I'm guessing these rolls are relatively straight-forward.

I don't mind rolling, but I'm not aware of any outstanding rolls for Pixelated. Did I miss something?

ETA:
Would any of my knowledge skills allow me to figure out what those little doors are? The more I think about it the less I can figure out what a 2ft by 2ft door could be used for.

Biotechnology probably wouldn't be useful, but what about Security Design (Physical), or Sprawl Life? Maybe I've seen something similar before?

Oh well rolls for what i did in the matrix all night. Changing schedules downloading data, creating invites for a tour of some investors etc etc...my hasty flight to this province didnt let me get to the site to roll on all the actions from that big post I did and...now I cant because my phone wont play well with that rolling site.

The roles were outlined in a previous OOC post. I think there were four rolls iirc. If you want to look back and roll for her, that'd be great. I'm on my phone right now, otherwise, I can see about rolling tomorrow morning

Found it :)

Most of the rolls are already covered, but I will add a couple. Roll a sleaze test to sneak about unnoticed by the regular programs, an edit test to successfully copy the memo correctly (take an additional 2 dice since you have real copies to go off of), next a matrix search roll for the key card usage (or if you are asking the system to search for you, then make it a spoof command test), and finally a final sleaze test to gain access to the camera system. If you succeed on the camera one, I'm not going to make you roll to see what they look at, or be able to copy a quick shot of what they see, since that's not really invasive in any way. Otherwise, nice description of all the actions, good job with describing the way the matrix and the hospital server specifically looks!

Pixels Deck is configured to Attack 3 Sleaze 6 Data Proc. 5 and Firewall 5

She is currently using Agent, Stealth and Edit on her deck while she pokes around. Her direct actions I will do in a next post just so peeps can have the chance to make any last minute requests or changes IC in response to her statement :)
OK, let's see. First up would be a Running Silent test (page 235 of SR5 core) which is Logic + Sleaze; in Pixels case this is augmented by the Stealth program, and her deck is running the above configuration. So that's Logic 5 (6) + Sleaze 6 (7). Since Running Silent isn't an action it doesn't have a limit, nor does she gain the +2 bonus dice for being in Hot-Sim VR or the -2 penalty for Running Silent. For all other actions I'll just exclude these as they cancel each other out.

Second would be a straight up Edit File test (page 239) which is Computer + Logic [Data Processing] vs Intuition + Firewall, or in this case Host Rating + Firewall. Pixel is running the Edit program, so her roll would be Computer 5 + Logic 5 (6) + Misc 2 [Data Processing 5 + Edit 2].

Third would be a Matrix Search action (page 241) which is Computer + Intuition [Data Processing] vs a threshold set by the GM (technically a success test by RAW, but I often handle it as an extended test personally). For Pixel that'll be Computer 5 + Intuition 5 [Data Processing 5]. She technically can't spoof the system to perform the action for her, as hosts are not valid targets for the Spoof action (page 242); however, if there's a device that can be targeted instead (like, say, a researchers commlink) then this is a different story alltoghether. Also keep in mind that spoof requires having a mark on the owner of the device or agent, not the device or agent itself.

Fourth and finally, a Hack on the Fly action (page 240) which is Hacking + Logic [Sleaze]. In Pixel's case, that's Hacking (HotF) 6 (+2) + Logic 5 (6) [Sleaze 6 (7)].

Also note that only the forth test could result in setting off alarms; the first is a defense test, two and three are Data Processing, while the fourth is Sleaze. A failed Sleaze action results in the host gaining a mark on the decker as per page 236, and is immediately aware that illegal actions are being taken. So, Pixel would probably spend Edge on a failed Sleaze test, but that's obviously up to Pixelated.

All right, rolls!
1. Running Silent: 13d6t5 3
2. Edit File: 13d6t5 6 (exceeded limit of 5, keeps 5 hits)
3. Edit File: 10d6t5 6
4. Edit File: 14d6t5 4

Messed up the descriptions; 3 and 4 should be Matrix Search and Hack on the Fly, respectively... Two damned solid rolls on 10 dice there, and no glitches.

Well I would say all four of those rolls are unqualified successes. Nice rolling Herr! Pixel, you've already described everything you did, so not really necessary to reiterate it all with the same results, but you are welcome to RP your way around in the matrix, or coming back to the world of the real (read that in the voice of Laurence Fishburne for extra dramatic).

Chaim, Pale Horse, and Ichante, we'll assume your gear arrives/you have a date with an effeminate orc tailor for suits. Have fun! Let me know when you're ready to head into Newhaven for your scouting run.

already on that page. business suit with a armoured jacket over the arm (we are going for the security guard cover for her right?) an EXECUTIVE SUITE would be optimal but we can go with a synergist Business Line.

I was asking about contact as I goofed when transferring the draft to a new edit and selected monocle for my smart link instead of contacts. this means she has two monocles on with perception enhancements and the other with smartlink and flare comp. oops

The Synergist is a good one.  Chaim will offer to go with Pale Horse should she want some advice, and partly because he'll want to see firsthand what's coming next season.

After that, I think we're ready to head into Newhaven.

Apologies that my posting has been a little erratic.  I wanted to catch up yesterday, and things did not go as planned.

No worries, I think we've managed a pretty decent pace thus far

Also, the pampering and the golden glow of the swatch tome... Oh lord I can't stop laughing, it's perfect! Great job!
