On Mel's next IP, she's going to try to Matrix Perception the car that tried to hit us.

Not much Snap can do. She'll try to see if she can recognize the driver or passenger from the other car.

Lots of negative modifiers to hit and way too many defensive bonuses for passengers in cars (at least +7 to their defense test). Probably just going to try and shoot a car or something...

I will do a simple action to go from vr-cold to vr-hot.
Simple action to try and locate an alley/sidestreet that i can do a hairpin turn into...

Hello all,

I got a PM from PG that he will not have ready access to his computer for a little while. Because of that, I'm making an executive decision to resolve this little high-speed chase, rather than hold up the whole adventure, since combat (especially Chase Combat) will take forever otherwise.

IC Post up shortly.

Ok, have replaced my car that was totaled- yippee, car payments. blah.

I'll have internet from about EST 1pm-430pm on Tue/Thur/Sat from dialysis

On Mon/Wed/Fri I'll try and be at the library, McDonald's or Starbucks for several hours- again after 1pm EST probably.

Sunday- it's not football season yet so same as Mon etc

As my PC and router are now in evidence at the police out of state, I really don't see me getting them back for months, maybe longer...

If stupid Comcast would give me a different IP, I could get a new router and hook up at home again...but they won't without a court order saying I have an order of protection. They won't block the hacker's IP from accessing my IP either without said order. So their's no point in getting a new router till he's in jail.

So, if you are waiting on me, and I haven't replied by 5pm EST, just do an appropriate action- I can live with the consequences. That's better than holding you guys up.

Mel is going to Matrix Perception any other SILENT devices running within 100 meters of our car.

Sorry for the delay - your Matrix Perception test comes up with several silent devices, all of them appear to be other cars. (Given the number of icons and the number of cars on the road, you can assume most are parked).

Okay, then as often as she can, Mel will continue making Perception checks to try to keep a constant eye on any/all devices in their vicinity.

I've got inventory this weekend and a lot of work to do to prep before hand, so I probably will be very limited in my posting. Someone feel free to take the lead!

Ok, first we should send a drone in to do recon on the building and surroundings. Then how about Snap casts Detect Life on Jack, who takes point as we clear the area? Sisco and Mel can stay behind with Huiqing and the car until we think it's safe.

Ok, so:

1) Since Mel and Jack rebooted their devices, they no longer have Mark's on Grease's drones. Mel can of course hack and put new Mark's on them with no real issue (since she can jack directly into them) it is just worth mentioning that as soon as she does so, she starts her GOD score again - not a big deal, just making sure everyone is on the same page.

Sisco of course has his Eye Drone, although not sure if he is going to pull that out, so to speak (and to be honest, it is kind of gross anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

2) Casting Detect Life isn't an issue - will you be sustaining Analyze Truth with your Focused Concentration for now?

Mel will put a new mark on the drone (or rather, the necessary number of marks). ASDF is 3/6/5/5. Programs are Virtual Machine, Baby Monitor, Stealth, and Toolbox.

Ok - no problem:

Hacking + Logic =12, jacked directly in so no noise, I'm assuming you duck into VR, which is +2 more dice.

14d6.hits(5)=3, 14d6.hits(5)=8


It rolls 4 dice to resist:

4d6.hits(5)=2, 4d6.hits(5)=1

Current OS=3

So you have 2 Marks on the drone, you should be good to go for most things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is that on the Fly Spy or the Microskimmer?

One question - what Force will you cast the Detect Life on Jack at - the range of the sense is Force x Magic in meters.

Just posting really quick, I'm good with the plan. Based on what the drone shows, he may leave his SMG in the van for the initial recon, relying on his holdout pistol and handblade if things go sideways. He doesn't really want to shoot any of the squatters.

Ok - I'm going to assume you have loaded Sneaking (4) and either Automatics (4) or Pistols (4) depending on which weapon you bring.

That will be the Flyspy.

Force 5, for 30m range and more importantly 2S drain only. And yes I'd keep Analyze truth going for now, and incur the -2 dice penalty from sustaining detect life -4 penalty for sustaining both spells (just realized they are both too high force for her focused concentration). Jack is now making use of a sixth and a seventh sense... enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Ok - so:

Magic 6 and Spellcasting 6, -1 die for wounds
11d6.hits(5)=5

Nicely done!

ETA - you should have had a -2 dice penalty for the Analyze Truth - but even with only 9 dice, you still got 5 hits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Now to resist Drain
13 dice, 2DV
13d6.hits(5)=5

So no drain.

You and Mel can put up IC posts - and waiting on PG for input on what he is doing.

Sounds good. I'll go Wireless On the Skilljack if I can slave it to Mel's deck again. Then I'll load Unarmed as well. He's hoping that, worst case, he's just going to have to punch a few people to make a point.

At this point there is nothing for me to do but stay alert and wait for the recon to be done.

Ok - so I will throw up an IC post covering:

1) Mel's hacking
2) Snap's spellcasting
3) The "plan"
4) The drone's observation (if any)

If you guys need anything else, just ask - and obviously feel free to post stuff IC.

"Danger Zone"? LOL

I had something for that... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Should I just continue?
