I thought on the run itself - I think BishopMcQ asked if he could bump us to the run and no one screamed "NOOOOOOOO!"

You are on the run at this point. I answered all the legwork questions and made the bump. At this point, I believe Hamagen elected to take a day off the work, so everyone is in the van. The team can either follow one of the employees out of the building, per the previously laid out plan, or make a new plan.

I'd like to get the thread moving again since it appears to have stalled out a little.

I was under the impression Dalma and Father were staying behind...

Can come though, doesn't matter to me.

I think we can just brute force this if we want - I think Brock and Ollie are more than capable of dealing with the rent-a-cops assuming that Brock can take people out without crushing their spinal cords. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Not trying to step on toes - just looking to get the cash we need and get back to the main part of the run/game.

Thoughts?

Hamagen--It's up to you. As I said in my previous post, you can set a day aside to come on the run if you want.

RP wise, Dalma would be a lot more interested in studying the magic item than going on a money grab.

Posted the immediately obvious information as Ollie walks through HSE.

Perception
5d6.hits(5)=3

Visual Enhancements
3d6.hits(5)=1

Hearing Enhancement
3d6.hits(5)=1

Anyone watching through the feed can also roll Perception or Security Systems.

Buddha--Ollie will note the outline of a door in the back of the store near the counter. There are no visible handles. One of the customers near the hardware upgrades has the bulge of a handgun under his coat.

Perception (visual) -> 4 hits

Bye
Thanee

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3633004/ 3 hits

Thanee--Siren notices the door outline. Several of the simfeeds along the right wall are known to be regularly pirated. The employee working in that area has an AR skin of Melody Moore, a rock singer known throughout North America. The employee appears to be Pueblo.

Saytr--Brock notices the handgun under a customer's coat near the hardware upgrades area. None of the customers have visible gang colors or tattoos.

Redjack you there?

Sorry - Very distracted lately. Anything requiring focus...
The plan doesn't seem to match my original expectations so I'll roll with it and try to reintegrate. Stealth R6

Do I need to decrypt?

Redjack--To confirm, you're kicking down the door on the HSE public node. It is not encrypted.

Redjack sorry wasn't pushing the smash and grab but more looking for the next part of the original plan which I thought involved you doing the digital dance and us grabbing the employee you selected. We were doing recon on the site and grabbing our employee but I think either works fine and frankly getting things moving again would be awesome. This is just a side step from the main storyline so I'm not feeling a great need for it to take too much time from it.

Let's commit crimes!

Brock is willing able and ready. With his head gear on he will be hard to I'd lol

I thought I had the private node from the subscriptions or connections of the security account I compromised last time. If not, I'll start with the public node.

No problem. Just trying to keep from getting us into an ambush like the campus and getting caught like my last foray into HSE. We have the team members on site for smash and grab; I'll try to work my way into the system and if that fails we drop back and punt... err hail mary.. err smash & grab. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I agree. We were floundering a bit and need to get back on track to the main event.

To be clear, nothing in any of your research has shown any connection between the Security Consultant whose commlink you hacked and HSE. Also, your previous knowledge rolls told you the security system would likely be separate from the retail node, and hardwired to the cameras and security devices. Response time is 15-20 minutes, less for violent crime.

Meaning that it does not have a wireless component?

Are we all in the van?

Bye
Thanee

Redjack--Correct.

Thanee--Olethros is in the store unless you call him back. Dalma is at the safehouse, everyone else is in the van.

Ok. Changing this a bit now that the scene is getting clearer. Still hacking the cars, then hacking the mall parking security (that is where we are, correct?)
